weaksauce··on What Is the Difference Between a Block, a Proc, and a Lambda in Ruby? (2013)
which way would he have liked to be the "correct way"
weaksauce··on I was a Theranos whistleblower. Here's what I think Elizabeth Holmes is up to
how long did enron last before they had to close because of fraud? it was over 20 years i'm pretty sure. that's not a good estimate.
weaksauce··on Judge Rules Apple Executive Lied Under Oath, Makes Criminal Contempt Referral
orange county is still pretty liberal just not quite as liberal as the other parts. huntington beach and newport beach is not all of orange.
weaksauce··on Judge rules Apple executive lied under oath, makes criminal contempt referral
if it’s anything like wells fargo 8 million fine for opening up bank accounts in peoples names without their knowledge... after a 1 million donation to trump’s inauguration the fine will go down to 150,000 dollars.
weaksauce··on ICE Deports 3 U.S. Citizen Children Held Incommunicado Prior to the Deportation
correct. i was somewhat careless with my wording but i meant find someone with the massive charisma that obama has and is also a progressive.
weaksauce··on ICE Deports 3 U.S. Citizen Children Held Incommunicado Prior to the Deportation
sorry i thought i was clear but yes obama was definitely a moderate but i meant find a progressive (with charisma like obama) that can inspire
weaksauce··on ICE Deports 3 U.S. Citizen Children Held Incommunicado Prior to the Deportation
> Are you a moderate who has a better plan?

stop supporting moderate politicians that appeal to no damn person. find someone with charisma like obama. there is no magical moderate voter that the dems keep hoping to appeal to. they already have been the center right party for decades now.

weaksauce··on Assignment 5: Cars and Key Fobs (2021)
i don't know how you can say they play favorites. internal memos show that suzuki knew that they had a rollover issue because of the narrow wheelbase and CR called them out on it through testing.
weaksauce··on DOGE worker’s code supports NLRB whistleblower
they added a backdoor that is not audit logged. that's why.

I have one in mine. though it's a bosch which is german owned.
weaksauce··on The 'Judicial Black Hole' of El Salvador's Prisons Is a Warning for Americans
yeah well on thursday he shit the bed on the economy so i guess we've moved on. stupid tariffs are one thing but the extrajudicial deportation and imprisonment is quite a worse thing if unchecked.
weaksauce··on Show HN: "Git who" – A new CLI tool for industrial-scale Git blaming
there is https://github.com/emacsmirror/git-timemachine which is really nice if you use emacs.
weaksauce··on Milk Kanban
sure it creates some work for someone that is invested in getting more milk for their coffee. hardly onerous and removes a lot of daily checking for the purchaser.
weaksauce··on Bispecific antibodies potently neutralize SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern
you mean memory T cell right? As I understand it B cells are created by T cells to an acute infection.(they also kill infected cells but this is a gross simplification and i'm not a epidemiologist.)
weaksauce··on Age Verification Laws: A Backdoor to Surveillance
ok but the solution should be "parent better" vs. "legislate our privacy away"
weaksauce··on Age Verification Laws: A Backdoor to Surveillance
to buy vape products online in california you have to submit your id to a third party id verification service. that's incredibly intrusive and could be where these laws go.
weaksauce··on How a key ingredient in Coca-Cola, M&M's is smuggled from war-torn Sudan
> This is just pure government regulation causing rationing and harming people.

having worked in the space... you are at the level of knowledge of "you don't know what you don't know." it's regulated for good reason. WFI is ultra pure water and costs quite a bit of money to make and is one of the main ingredients in a lot of pharmaceuticals.

weaksauce··on Ex-SAP CTO walks away with €7.1M payout after scandal
if you make 100k a year that payout is 71 years worth of your wages. absurd.
weaksauce··on The Efficiency of Vim
ok but that is just moving the goalpost from the plugins are crap to i don't like electron. idc what you do but for anyone that wants vscode with vim bindings the neovim ones are great.
weaksauce··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
> you might want to read about World War II.

you didn't read enough about wwii then. giving putin ukraine emboldens him further just like hitler

weaksauce··on The Efficiency of Vim
use the neovim one ... it's actual vim + vscode.
weaksauce··on Right to Repair laws have now been introduced in all 50 us states
i’m more for right to repair than not but i can see unintended consequences of things like iphones being bulkier and heavier if modular components like batteries are required in the broadest reach of the concept. these bills may be narrower and probably are. that’s the ultimate question though is how far the balance should be.
weaksauce··on Valve releases Team Fortress 2 game code
steamdeck runs on linux so that should eventually make games on linux mostly compatible and maybe even one day make it so that pc gamers don't have to have windows at all... chicken and egg thing though
weaksauce··on Plane crashes, overturns during landing at Toronto airport
a regional is a major airline if not in name but in practice. they contracted out for delta and are considered commercial aviation for the statistics. they had 80 people on board which is still quite a lot of people... smaller than a 777 sure but still a large bird.
weaksauce··on Writing a Gimp 3.0 Plugin
there's https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP

but i'm not sure how well that mimics photoshop in day to day stuff. hopefully they make strides in usability because it wasn't there the last time i tried it.

weaksauce··on Tiny JITs for a Faster FFI
the ruby is faster than c is because of the yjit. they are moving a lot of c ruby standard library and core language stuff into ruby code so the yjit can optimize it better. akin to java and their bytecode being able to optimize things on the fly instead of just once at compile time.
weaksauce··on Tiny JITs for a Faster FFI
it's faster than python in some tests that i've seen.
weaksauce··on Why young parents should focus on building trust with their kids
i'm not particularly fond of sweets in my adult life but in my child years it was something i loved. i don't know why anyone would think a child wouldn't like a sweet ball of treat
weaksauce··on Resist Authoritarianism by Refusing to Obey in Advance (2017)
are you sure about that? it makes it so that he can approve drilling in the gulf because it's not named the same. or at least that's his idea to subvert biden's drilling ban... we'll see if it is the case.
