Oh god good ol ActiveSupport. I’m having flashbacks of so many ruby projects trying not to bring it in and basically reinventing it but poorly documented.
I still would say it was the language I’ve most enjoyed (professionally used most all higher level languages over 20+ years) but it might be nostalgia for a time early 2010s when rails was just freaking magic compared to the ways we used to build web apps.
That’s not quite right, the language has defined Int#days and 10 is actually Int(10). 10.days calls the instance method days on an instance of an Int (it has been years since I’ve used ruby so not sure if the stdlib class is actually Int)
IRL Pocahontas was like 11 or 12.
My wife and I are 40 with 3 kids (in another week two of them will be in high school!) and we quote this at least twice a month, usually in bed, usually while pretend stiff-arming the other and saying “whooooooooomphf”
Typescript makes for a whole different experience on the FE
Eat some more pills, pillhead.

It’s impossible to delete anything on the internet. You can’t control everybody’s backups.
I moved to the bay area in 2012, absolutely hated Musk back then and thought all of his success was hanging onto other’s coattails and good timing (which fair enough, is a skill + huge privilege in and of itself, but isn’t the same as inventing/engineering) but he was really popular here. He continued to reveal himself to be more and more of a shitheel over the years and I got to slowly see everybody I knew and worked with eventually come around to the same opinion I had held for more than a decade.
Is the US the first floor is the ground floor, second floor is what is called the 1st floor in many other countries
I think I’ll trust owasp and my own over 20 years of experience building commercial software but you do you
This generally goes against security best practices as it can be used for attempted user enumeration. A better version would be “we’ll send you an email with your account status if this user exists” but obviously that results in a fair amount more complexity (and cost) to implement
I think a Blomkamp directed The Moon is a Harsh Mistress would be far more interesting
I’ve been in engineering leadership in early and mid stage start ups in San Francisco for a number of years. Comp varies a bit (the earlier stage the company the more ISO equity I get - for anybody not familiar these are options that are basically worth nothing but in the event of an exit opportunity might be worth tremendously more - vs working for a public company you’d often get RSUs that you could immediately sell or divest) but base in the low 300s. This is in the bay area, so actual purchasing power when compared to cost of living is more like mid 100s elsewhere in the US.
My poor wife got shingles at 39 last year. Her doc was like “yeah it’s definitely shingles, welcome to firmly middle aged”
Obviously you need lots of GPUs to run large deep learning models. I don’t see how that’s a fault of the developers and researchers, it’s just a fact of this technology.
In deep learning generally open source doesn’t include actual training or inference code. Rather it means they publish the model weights and parameters (necessary to run it locally/on your own hardware) and publish academic papers explaining how the model was trained. I’m sure Stallman disagrees but from the standpoint of deep learning research DeepSeek definitely qualifies as an “open source model”
Ughhh that was my fear. Haven’t built a desktop in probably 20 years. I definitely worry about the time sink mostly in deciding every component, researching if it’ll work with linux, sourcing it, hoping it’s authentic, etc. Any recent guides you could recommend if I have to go down that route?
It is wind chill not actual temperature. Still cold cold cold but not as bad as it sounds in terms of your internal organs freezing or whatever.
Is that the new one? This spring i read the 3 original ones (had never heard of the series A friend turned me on to it) but I’ve been holding off reading the new one to make it last.
