This reminds me when I was applying for credit card they couldn’t confirm my identity because they were on a call with me and said this number is not associated to your name in any databases.

I got it in my name from the provider idk what other “databases” they have with names and numbers, but I’m happy I’m not there.

Sorry I forgot to respond.

The thing that triggered it was when I shared an xkcd link. I have seen it a lot here but I guess it’s niche. And knowing about tardigrades, and many weird biology knowledge about bugs, bacteria, and such. We’re both super nerdy about science, but at the same time we hadn’t met anyone else be this nerdy about science in real life.

I don’t know what you mean by supports tray but have you tried KDE connect? It has a lot more features than just sending files but I use it for a few things.

And if you don’t care about having GUI, I love miniserve for sharing files. It’ll open a web server and you can connect to it to download/upload files.

I can understand people wanting markers. But maybe we have like 10-20 markers and someone having 5-6 from the other side is not weird. Like if someone is presenting as a girl completely and is not, they could just reply with “oh, I’m a guy, I just dressed as a girl today” and people would be like “that’s fun” instead of being weirded out.

Like long hair/short hair for example. Or how girls wearing pants is normal now.

In my case, my culture does have people cross dressing during certain events so it’s not as ostracized. But that could also be because people didn’t actually think about wanting to be the other gender but just dressing up for one occasion.

Few fun things:

• My parents wanted a daughter but had me,
• my nickname at home was a girl’s name version of my name,
• only children close to my age and vicinity growing up were girls so I grew up playing “girl” games,
• my mom didn’t stop me from painting my nails, or putting makeup or anything as a child. (I still paint my nails black sometimes),
• In highschool I was the only guy among the group of students with nails too long on a biology lab,
• a guy friend once told me I walk gay (I didn’t even know that was a thing?)
• I don’t watch sports, so I don’t have many common things to talk to guys as much,
• Good friends I had (guys) were based on either common interests (programming, philosophy, etc) or other nerds. And when I don’t have those and only friends are based on proximity then I don’t have as many things in common.

All those considered I’m still a guy, I just don’t care about being “manly”, and just do things that interests me. Plus lots of the things people do to be manly seems to just make them spend even more time with other guys lol. And although I don’t want to do a lot of things that are for each genders, I just wish everyone was chill about doing whatever someone likes. Or for someone to just try it out to see if they like it not, instead of thinking “that’s what X do, I won’t do it”.

I second this. This is how I got my wife to like me.

Be careful not to go overboard though, my wife, during the first few weeks, thought I might be hacking into her phone because I was tech savvy and we had too many weird things in common.

Good read, thanks

But I believe in generics, just write your functions so that it can work with all the types ;)

translation: Just get rid of what is a boy or a girl thing. Just let people do what they like.

I’m a rust developer, do I need to transition?

I think most early users do check further than open source licenses. It’s possible they’ll add things later, but if they add after it has enough users we have significant number of users to have some people check. And if the user base is small then they’re probably more involved, or are reading/modifying code for their use cases.

Of course it’s not foolproof, but it has worked for a long time because of things like that

I think for a open source projects with such a low number of users, the first few users will definitely look further than “it’s open source”.

That’s the thing though if it’s open source and 99.9% don’t check that 0.1% checking it will be enough.

Crashing through unwrap is not necessarily restoring unsafe behavior of other languages though. I’d consider this wayyyy better than silently continuing with invalid value until the program tries something that doesn’t make sense/is overreaching and it crashes.

This gives me hope.

Dam. Finally someone else who did something similar. I also changed my focus into more GIS and programming oriented work because of AutoCAD being what it is. I like working on open source software because I don’t suddenly lose all my work because I ran out of license or left my job.

No need. Looking at the age of users of emacs vs others we’ll live a long time

Maybe one day you’ll find a job where you can show up like this. Or just work from home all the time.

And who says AI means neural network? That’s what we use, doesn’t mean that’s the only AI possible to write. There are a lot of different models, neural network is popular right now because it can learn from data without anyone having to teach it actual logic. An AI written by fictional character can be a deterministic kind with very similar logic to humans that you can inspect and write and give weights to things.

Yeah but the people who made it like that probably understand whether to trust it to write code or not. The AI Tony wrote, he knows what it does best and he trusts it to write his code. Just because it’s AI doesn’t mean it’s LLM. Like I trust the errors compilers give me even if I didn’t write them because it’s good. And I trust my scripts to do things that I wrote them for, specifically since I tested them. Same with the AI you yourself made, you’d test it, and you’d know the design principles.

Doing nothing implies just physically nothing though. If you have a fun brain there are a lot of things you can do. It’s specifically useful while traveling long distances

You have a functioning brain right? You don’t need smartphone to get thinking.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
