Man I had existential dread at like 3 or 4 when I started wondering what happens after death and what the meaning of this existence is if it’s limited to one lifetime… I’m not even bullshitting.

More than likely they’re going to cooperate with Bosch and some more specialized companies to make this happen. This is then going to be used by other manufacturers as well.

My personal anti-suggestion is always the office. Too much cringe. I’ll watch compilations of Jim pranking Dwight on YouTube, but I can’t watch the show as a whole because of Michael.

If you read the rest of my comment, I acknowledged that foreign capitalists are taking all the profit. The question is, what’s the solution? Because any local leadership in such a country, whether left or right wing, is likely to be corrupt and serving their own interests over that of the people.

But then it beeps anyway!

Damn. Does the debt get erased eventually?

Someone mentioned that it was indeed pandemic time. Hence the lack of any parked cars.

In fact, everyone is fake and gay.

Exactly. A 10% decrease in run time for a method is a small optimization most of the time, but whether or not it’s premature depends on whether the optimization has other consequences. Maybe you lose functionality in some edge cases, or maybe it’s actually 10x slower in some edge case. Maybe what you thought was a bit faster, is actually slower in most cases. That’s why you measure when you’re optimizing.

Maybe you took 3 hours of profiling and made a loop 10% faster but you could have trivially rewritten it to run log n times instead of n times…

How’s that possible? Genuinely wondering, I’m from a country with free uni which is still cheap ish if you don’t qualify for free for some reason. I understand the concepts of tuition and loans, I’m just wondering how the loan ends up so far underwater if you’ve been paying.

I have no experience of my own, but at least in my country, IKEA offers a 15 year warranty on their stainless steel cookware, except the ones with nonstick coating (which isn’t nearly as durable). It’s fairly affordable too. I’m thinking of replacing some nonstick pans of mine with their stainless steel offerings, but haven’t yet pulled the trigger.

I figured it might be interesting to add here because it’s one of the few companies that sells in most of the western world and I believe the lineup is similar everywhere. If anyone has experience with their cookware, I’d be happy to hear about it.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one. I now feel sad that I may never.

Seen plenty of comments on reddit who have used the GI bill to get an education they otherwise couldn’t afford and then a decent career that has nothing to do with shooting people. That’s what the smarter ones do, anyway.

Well, obviously. But then we run into the whole issue of trade. If there’s no free trade, the people in those areas would have nobody to sell goods to, which is developing their economies. But under free trade, foreign capital exploits them.

In a way, it’s up to their own governments to protect their people from foreign capitalists. We here in the west/north/whatever can’t force that. But that’s easier said than done in a lot of places. They need to have their own money to build their own nations, but where do you get said money into your country unless you have oil, diamonds or other expensive resources that also attract bloodsuckers?

I suspect that the only workable solution is some sort of international fund that provides resources to poor nations and everyone pays into it. Kind of like here in the EU - richer countries pay more than they receive in benefits, but since it builds up the strength of the EU, they still end up benefiting. Thing is, acceptance into EU requires meeting some standards. Said global fund would also need to have standards for the nations they help - to make sure it’s not all wasted on corrupt warlords in the government. But then who helps the people in those countries?

It’s honestly an issue nobody wants to think about, myself included. How do you help people in those places? How do you force education and wealth on a backwards ass country?

They stock really good røkt laks. Used to know someone who worked in Norway and used to bring it sometimes.

I mean Britain was kind of a viking colony once upon a time lol

I do still support some aspects of capitalism and the free market. I’m of the opinion that society should guarantee everyone the basics and then those who want can build extra wealth for all I care. Just not through outright exploitation.

I don’t know if there’s a specific label for my beliefs, as I’m not too into political theory.

I love me a drive thru when I’m so exhausted I don’t want to get out of the car. Car has comfy seats and HVAC. Normally I do prefer going in to get the order faster though.

I think it’s a cool voice but I wouldn’t want to watch his movies all the time, it gets tiresome. I do like some of the movies though.

I think it’s literally just his voice that people hate lol
