There are really no drawbacks to state Republicans to letting the roads fall into disrepair since Democrats will shoulder the blame. It's all upside getting this funding cancelled.

I was just going to say this. The modal part is the important part. Helix seems great, but I was unable to find a killer feature to draw me away.

The funny thing is I really liked the old JS prototypal inheritance. :)

I'm a firm believer in "Bruce Lee programming". Your approach needs to be flexible and adaptable. Sometimes SOLID is right, and sometimes it's not.

"Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own."

"Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind."

And some languages, like Rust, don't fully conform to a strict OO heritage like Java does.

"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."

But keeping them there just makes good business sense.

He's not wrong—Biden fucked that up good—but Trump kept those policies, too, something NVIDIA was shrewd not to mention. By the time Trump finally offered half an olive branch, it was far too late.

Additionally, the citizens who support this kind of government surveillance are fine with a few innocents getting charged.

One of our geology grants got hit for mentioning mineral inclusion. Total clown show.

The kleptocracy in action.

Sparingly. I use chatgpt to help with syntax and idioms when learning new languages. And sometimes I use it to help determine the best algorithm to use for a general problem. Other times I feed in working code and ask for improvements like a mini code review

The only time I had it code something from scratch for me was when I wanted some Vimscript and I didn't want to learn it. I tried the same thing with jq and it failed and I had to learn me some jq.

I hate popups in editors in general (no intellisense for me), so I lothe AI trying to auto complete my code.

But I was told that rich people like musk and Trump weren't swayed by money because they had enough... 😂

My thoughts exactly. If you want to destroy the US software industry, this is a great way to go about it. Coupled with making it as difficult to get trained as a software developer, of course.

 

Neat article about avoiding a memcpy in a circular buffer.

 

This is a pretty cool analog arcade game. I never saw one when I was a kid... I'd have been hooked.

 

This is an ad for something CT-scan-related, but it contains a good breakdown of how an old car cigarette lighter works. And it has a couple interactive CT Scan explorers past the video.

 

Can be yours for a mere $155,000. (No, I'm not the seller, but I'm curious who is!)

 

This coder rigged up GPT to create IF games.
