Idea: a Linux shell that shames you if you did more arrow ups than it was of characters to type the command

@levelsio The only way S&P 500 drops on the long term is if mankind collapses, meaking money meaningless in the process

He's not wrong Investing always carries risk Nobody knows what the future holds He doesn't, I don't

X: What's your hobby? Me: This week-end I wrote two parsers

@pmarca Funny how all this stuff exists because governments invested heavily in it and now the US government want to let people do whatever the fuck instead of driving innovation in the right direction. Roaring 20s my ass, that's gonna be a disaster. Start learning chinese...

The Roaring 20's is here. 🇺🇸🚀

So I've asked o1 to compile my date validating regexp into C directly, and compare the method to other C methods, well it's the fastest: ``` Starting benchmark with 10000 random date strings... Method 1 (Custom match):          0.178 ms Method 2 (POSIX regex):           0.290 ms Method 3 (strptime):              0.836 ms Method 4 (sscanf):                0.701 ms ``` Now you know: if you want to validate a regexp very fast you can always ask a LLM to translate it to C for you

So I've had o1 write for me a regular expression that validates every date between 1900 and 2199 (including 29ths of february), then to benchmark it against other common methods. Turns out that the regexp is 10x faster than most options, the only thing actually faster is Numpy

The thing with 10x developers isn't that they write code 10x faster. Rather, they find ways to write 10x less code for the same feature.

@antirez It works until we got to let neighbors we don't like decide our politics

We need a United States of Europe (not with this name, I picked it only to make the concept clear). ASAP.

It was a lot harder than I expected, but here we are with the EasyLeasy DSL for time sets manipulation. pypi.org/project/easy-l…

By far the most important news of the day

@Codie_Sanchez Yeah that's exactly what my TL looks like 🤣

Turns out Americans are way more united than they ever let us believe.

@hot_girl_spring uwu

@Xowap but we're eepy

Europe, this is your call to get some goddamn fucking willpower

DST is the worst fucking pain in the ass

It's really hard to believe that your tests work when then pass on the first try

Old post coming back up my TL. I wonder what's the status on this now? Also, given that there are not so many ways to transpose a matrix, I wonder what would Google v. Oracle say about this?

It's interesting that marketing 101 tells you to push forward the merits of your own product instead of trying to discredit others. Yet politicians spend their time trying to discredit others and wonder why they are losing elections... If you stand for "everything except X" you stand for nothing?

@RGB_Lights So the EU never asked to click through cookie consent. As a matter of fact, GDPR doesn't even mention cookies. The law is a lot more about minimizing data collection and keeping data safe. If marketers want to pile up endless amounts of useless data, that's on them

Serious question. Can anyone tell me how we are safer / better for the cookie warning clicking I have to do on the internet? Advertisers still own your browsing habits and the world expends a collective bazillion hours a week on a needless friction.

I don't understand how there are so few ORMs that have a decent migrations system. Are people thinking that managing the DB schema is easier than writing a SQL query or something?

@levelsio I really wonder which Europe you live in because for me Amazon deliveries are same-day or next-day at worst 🤔

🇺🇸 America is so cracked, even if you're in Europe It's now faster for me to order from Amazon US to Europe than to order from Amazon in Europe: Ordered on Monday @ 13:45 from Amazon US Wednesday @ 15:25 it arrives at my home in Portugal It actually came all the way from there in less than 50 hours with UPS from their Prime center in California! Meanwhile average time it takes for Amazon Spain or Germany to arrive in Portugal is 4-10 days for me Why? Because European delivery services are so bad. If you order within Europe, Amazon gets you the worst delivery services here But in US they use some high priority UPS shipping which arrives really fast I think Crazy!

@stylewarning I prefer having a stdlib that solves my problems 🤣 summed = sum(the_list)

Despite the merits of the 1st alternative, many people like the 2nd because they can predict the minimum the compiler will do to translate that to machine code, and that minimum is perf-sufficient. Not just that, but the 2nd can also be changed to a map-reduce in one line. (1/5)
