_ZeD_··on The (economic) AI apocalypse is nigh
everyone will lose money.
_ZeD_··on PEP 810 – Explicit lazy imports
good luck with that syntax - it would be as possible as passing an inline-defined def as parameter instead of a lambda
_ZeD_··on PEP 810 – Explicit lazy imports
> I would gladly take a command line flag that I can pass to python that makes all module loading lazy.

oh, you want a "break my libraries" flag? :D

seriously, in theory lazy imports may be "transparent" for common use cases, but I've saw too many modules rely on the side effects of the importing, that I understand why they needed to make this a "double opt in" feature

_ZeD_··on PEP 810 – Explicit lazy imports
NO! I don't want my source code filled with this crap.

I don't want to lose multiple hours debugging why something did go wrong because I am using three versions of numpy and seven of torch at the same time and there was a mixup

Sora 2: Frato
_ZeD_··on A WebGL game where you deliver messages on a tiny planet
Ummm... it seems that it doesn't work on Firefox mobile for android. I just see a black screen.
_ZeD_··on The Other Linux Logo
BTW Tux is the linux mascot, not logo
_ZeD_··on What's New in C# 14: Null-Conditional Assignments
While I can understand the reason behind the behaviour I cannot find it intuitive.

If I say an asseignment I expect the value to be "evaluated".

I could have grasped the expression in all the null values would have been replaced with new instances, but then it would have been too much invasive and magic to work, so - again - I understand why the designers night have been force to settle for the actual behaviour...

But maybe then the half-solution is not worth it

_ZeD_··on Meta Ray-Ban Display
The very first thing I though was: "yeah, they're gonna shovel advertising directly into my retina"
_ZeD_··on Tomorrow's emoji today: Unicode 17.0
what unicode miss is mimosa's branches and italian cards (I really want to send a three of clubs or a seven of coins to some of my friends)
_ZeD_··on Liquid Glass in the Browser: Refraction with CSS and SVG

  Chrome‑only demo
  The interactive demo at the end currently works in Chrome only (due to SVG filters as backdrop‑filter).
  You can still read the article and interact with the inline simulations in other browsers.
Dishonor on your WHOLE FAMILY! dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow...
_ZeD_··on Formatting code should be unnecessary
good luck with that.. I didn't had a decent IDE capable of even implementing elastic tab stops... I expect people using hex editors to flip bytes directly on the binary blob saved on disk instead of using the appropriate tools to view the "source" files.

btw: have a look at how much disdain was reserved for systemd and its pletora of binary blobs + custom tools (e.g. the journal stuff) ... and that was basically forced upon from the distributions

_ZeD_··on Going faster than memcpy
soo... time to send a patch to glibc?
_ZeD_··on Every American Is Bilingual
still count as one (language)
_ZeD_··on Don’t use “click here” as link text (2001)
You don't get hyperlinks in a document-centric approach...

You think of them as action, they're not.

Actions are for applications. You are reading a document.

They are metadata.

Think of them like "footnootes" of a paragraph, or references.

Remember, you're reading a document, not using an application.

_ZeD_··on FICO to incorporate buy-now-pay-later loans into credit scores
the goal is to die before you run out of hours
_ZeD_··on Public/protected/private is an unnecessary feature
No, it doesn't: double underscore field names are mangled basically to avoid easy overriding in su classes; keep in mind that it is a feature that predates super() in almost any form
_ZeD_··on Simplest C++ Callback, from SumatraPDF
> In programming language lingo, code + data combo is called a closure.

in my day code + data was called a class :)

(yeah, yeah, I know closure and class may be viewed as the same thing, and I know the Qc Na koan)

_ZeD_··on Project Verona: Fearless Concurrency for Python
You think of code as an asset, but you're wrong: code is a cost.

Feature is what you want, and performance, and correctness, and robustness; not code

Older code is tested code, that is known to work, with known limitations and known performances

What's wrong with dbeaver?
_ZeD_··on Data Compression Nerds Hate This One Trick [video]
Some people care about how others address them, or the things they make - and it's good. Some people don't care - and I can at least understand them.

Some people care about how others address them, but don't care how to address other's names... and this is funny to me

_ZeD_··on Can Style Be Timeless?
I'm sorry for you, ties (and bowties) are cool :)
_ZeD_··on Utah becomes first US state to ban fluoride in its water
> Putting fluoride in water promotes freedom. That sounds crazy, but let me justify it.

> If you are poor you can't go anywhere or buy anything. You're not free if you're poor. If you are sick, you may be confined to a hospital bed or not feel good enough to do anything. If you are sick you're not free.

or, you know, you could avoid the problem in the first place and allow "even poors" to go somewhere or buy something... at least base items, and medicines...

this way they could afford dental costs, and you could spare the need to add fluoride in the water

_ZeD_··on The German language broke my website

_ZeD_··on Show HN: Prioritize Anything with Stacks
> You can’t just collect personal data and share it like that!

yeah, there should be some rule about what user data can be collected and transparency about its usage...

wait, that's the GDPR! grin

Also, I don't have a c compiler installed.
