"Straight cunts"?

I don't see a problem with a recipe generator?

Nutritional. I created a recipe but I cannot scroll up (in Firefox) since it immediately skips back to the bottom, so I can't read all of it.

Interesting idea though! I'll try it.

Edit: the shopping part takes a while, then it works.

Fascinating. I should have studied Assyriology, few areas are as impressive imo. Maybe I still can, even at LMU. Although I don't believe it's possible alongside a regular job.

What the hell am I even looking at?

Spaces.

ElemntX does not support all features that Element does, so if I'm using a space to group rooms, then I can't use it.

I like the idea of matrix and element, but the execution is just so lackluster. Even Signal added a lot of quality of life improvements, and WhatsApp is consistently getting better. I don't like the idea of using a messenger owned by Meta, but honestly, messengers absolutely need an excellent UX and UI, QOL features, etc. and Element is just far behind in this regard.

> One of the big problems is that folks judge Matrix based on the legacy Element apps, which have now been succeeded by Element X

Yeah, wake me up when X supports all the features the original app has. Until it's usable, there is no point.

I know of nobody who even knows of Matrix, if I haven't told them beforehand. Discord is so much better than all alternatives, that I just don't see why anyone would leave it.

Idc about permissions, but the usability difference is astronomical.

Not wanting to be a "tiger cub" introduced to the "jungle" does not make one a grumpy hermit.

DuckDB seems to be the most interesting there.

As a European, I'm definitely avoiding the US. I was asked whether I wanted to visit our US branch and I declined - which was simply accepted and probably expected in advance. Almost everyone I know does the same.

And it's unfinished since 2020.

This is still Pappschnee, Neuschnee, Pulverschnee, etc.

Even for timeseries there is https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb. Haven't used it, just knew it existed.

If your compiler does not let you compile garbage code, then it's restricting you, but that's exactly what you want - you don't want to compile something that is incorrect. Rust just enforces more rules than, say, Ruby or C/C++.

Restrictions foster creativity, and also free up mindspace to think about your actual problem in more detail.

Yes, and I'm saying that that's obviously not a good thing.

I'm not sure Pakistan is comparable to Imperial Japan.

How does that relate to downvotes after saying something like that?

I'm not sure about that.

So, you would rather keep mistreating them, because if we stopped mistreating them today it would mean they'd be slaughtered tomorrow? I'm quite sure what the cows would choose.

I recently started a ML project using text data and the choice was between MySQL and Postgres. Having looked at the respective features and pros and cons, the choice was immediately obvious. Also, with pgvector and https://postgresml.com available, the choice for Postgres was even easier.

I preordered it and read it with the expectation of getting great sci-fi about kraken and got something else entirely. The focus is on many things, but not on sci-fi and kraken, so it is one of the weaker books in this area, sadly. I finished it, but it was a slog.

They're also developing a gui: https://duckdb.org/2025/03/12/duckdb-ui.html

Not the worst website I've seen by far.

I have also come to this conclusion. Consciousness might be an evolutionary dead end.

Cows are quite intelligent.

At this point I would refuse to travel to the USA at all, not only for vacation, but also for work. Imagine being locked up for weeks or months because you need to visit the us-based office.
