Kinda wish I had social media right now so I could tell DevilsPanties to go fuck themselves.

CEOs are demanding that programmers use AI, and measuring how much they use it. If they don't use it enough, they're in the next round of layoffs. Vibe coders are people who don't know how to code, and probably aren't working for a corp.

Seriously, attacking the workers? Motherfuckers.

Cue, Queue or Q. No Que, okay?

I wonder if 3d printed driver tips would be better for matching the material strength and reduce stripping. Or maybe they wouldn't have enough strength at all and would just twist and fall apart.

I was also wondering how well printing drywall anchors would work.

Lwaxana Troi should have been the Enterprise computer voice, amirite!?!?

Thanks! I didn't know about that community.

TLDR: 3.11 is twice as fast as 3.10 at doing global name lookups, so an old speedup hack of aliasing a global function locally isn't needed.

For example, when calling len() in a loop, going l=len, and calling l() in the loop was faster in 3.10. In 3.11, moreso in 3.13, it's almost a wash.

However, the author says this:

Accessing functions through a module [e.g. math.sin()] or a deep attribute chain can still carry overhead. Creating a local alias or using "from module import name" continues to be effective in those situations.

But when I look at the numbers, I would say 3.13 is pretty close to making it an unnecessary optimization in general. A little subjective on how you interpret the numbers.

Great info, but this was like trying to use a recipe and reading the author's life story to get there.

Yeah that was just the byline and I grabbed some excerpts about what triggered it.

Thanks for pointing this out though. Personally, I'm glad they're taking action and coming at it from multiple angles.

Monopolies will do that.

I guess they shouldn't have privatized hydro after all...

 

I feel like I haven't seen anyone talking about this press release here and I'm curious about what people think.

  • "$15 billion top-up to the Apartment Construction Loan Program to build a minimum of 30,000 new apartments." Edit to add: "With this top-up, the program’s financing is on track to build over 131,000 new apartments within the next decade."
  • "new reforms to the Apartment Construction Loan Program to increase access to the program and make it easier for builders to build"
  • "Launching Canada Builds – partnering with provinces and territories to build more rental housing across the country"
  • "Yesterday, we announced a new $6 billion Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund and a $400 million top-up to the Housing Accelerator Fund to ensure communities have the infrastructure they need to grow and build more homes"

Is this more lip service or are these genuinely working in the right direction to increase housing?

 

You can scrub through and find different views, some showing the eclipse itself, some showing the crowds and reactions.

 

Bullet holes could be seen on a black SUV sitting at the centre of the police scene.

(Robson and Richards. Article doesn't indicate that anyone was hurt, it seems like a bullet did go into the Tim Horton's in that area.)

 

I'm enjoying exploring Lemmy with Voyager. I really like the design and its very stable.

The one issue I'm running into with it is not knowing where links will take me. At times, clicking on YouTube links is just a waste of time for me, for example. Or if it's a New York Times, etc. link, I know to just go to the comments and look for the archive link instead.

Would it be possible to get the domain of the links in Compact view to be shown? Personally, I'd be willing to sacrifice space (increase the size of the compact tiles) for this, but i don't think that will be necessary. My personal preference would be to have it in the same colour as the poster's server.

 

Stock dips as analyst says report ‘may be a sell-the-news event’

 

Naomi Arbabi's suspension 'necessary to protect the public,' Law Society of B.C. says.

Arbabi identified herself in the claim as "i, a woman" and said the case would be tried in the "naomi arbabi court."

As part of her lawsuit, Arbabi said her claim was "based on law of the land, and not a complaint based on legal codes acts or statutes" and asked for compensation equal to $1,000 a day for every day the glass divider has been in place.

 

I walked past him regularly and enjoyed the artistic touch he brought to my days, so kudos to whoever made him. (Picture is mine, the sculpture is not.)

 
 

 

Bit of a test, not sure if the size will be changed after uploading...
