mrRandomGuy··on Yarn 3.0
I tried updating my teams frontend pipelines from Yarn 1 to Yarn 2 since there seemed to be some significant performance improvements.

I spent some time trying to understand why I needed a third party plugin to run the equivalent of `yarn install --production` I just said fuck it and I'll let the frontend team figure this shit out.

So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the Yarn 1 usage is significantly higher than Yarn 2

mrRandomGuy··on Scenarios in which Tesla FSD Beta 9.0 fails
Why are you getting down-voted? There's literal videos depicting what you state. Is the Musk Fanboy Brigade behind this?

It would be a glorious honor to have my 'FSD' Tesla drive into a giant concrete pillar, causing my car to explode and erupt into flames.

Perl _has_ died gracefully.
mrRandomGuy··on Migrating to SQLAlchemy 2.0
