Work is a fuck, but you gotta eat.
And the shared suffering builds camaraderie with your coworkers and some may develop into friends, which can provide meaning and excitement.

People who glorify hustle culture are fucked up. Don't listen to them.

Yeah, I picked that username for a reason 😭

I said it was better, just not much better.

The maintenance costs of equals is nearly zero. Scrolling over boilerplate seems like a real stretch, like saying a novel with a picture every chapter is harder to read.

I like that you can't accidentally forget to update it, which is kinda nice but is rarely a concern.
And it's a bit more readable, which is nice.
It's better, but folks are talking like it's Super Jesus and I think it's more like finding a dollar in the parking lot.

It's like 5 seconds to regenerate it. Boilerplate doesn't matter, just collapse it. The only real issue is remembering to update it, if you make a change.

Like I said, I prefer for rust does it, it's just not a big deal

Why did you even bring up AI? IDEs have been able to generate equality functions for decades without AI.

It's kinda neat to have this defined directly in the language so that compilers can implement it, but creating equality function is so low effort that this doesn't really seem like a big deal.

Like, you define the members in a class, then you tell your IDE to generate getters, constructor, equals, hashcode, etc all in like 5 seconds.
I like it, it's nice when the language itself defines reasonable defaults for things, but realistically you're saving yourself a few seconds of effort.

I mean, if your IDE does it for you, is it really that much better that it's shorter?

There are so few native desktop apps these days, it's all on the web.
And the browser can glean a lot more about user interaction than just web traffic, like where you hover, what parts of the page you're interacting with, etc.
That's why I said that (combined with phone), Google probably knows more.

But it's probably a pretty close competition

They also spy, because just a few billion isn't enough

I feel like MS and Google should be switched. Web probably has more harvestable info. Plus phones.

Spent a night at the Iceland Blue Lagoon Retreat hotel for a special occasion. It's like $1800 USD per night so it was a huge splurge. We saw Rebel Wilson staying at the hotel too. It was fancy AF.

Absolutely wasted if you only spend one day, but we couldn't afford 2.

Rosa Parks lived until 2005

(Legal) Segregation in America was until pretty damn recently. Though loophole segregation is arguably still going on.

 

I've been trying to find this video for a while with no luck, and idk what other community to ask.

The video features this yellow dancing CG blob alien thing, and the lyrics go something like:

We made AI to do the dumb stuff, so we could do the fun stuff
But now it does the fun stuff, and we became the dumb stuff

Does anyone remember it, or know where to find it?
The little singing alien thing popped up a few times on my FYP but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because I can't find any evidence that it ever existed.

 

Slowpoke is my favorite ~~jean~~ meme

To be clear, not talking about this community, obviously 😛.

What's the point of writing down rules, if mods just do what they want? But I suppose that's the risk you take when you call someone a liar in a small community; they might be a mod.

Edit: I'm not trying to say that mods suck, they perform a useful and often thankless job. Just that it can be difficult for small communities to get a healthy number of good mods, which can become a problem.

Nobody wants to run a Roomba while they're still home, right?

 

Not sure this works with the show.
