@BigBenInLondon @shlong_weekend @SkinnyTuna Placebo absolutely doesn’t work on everyone. An open-label placebo test only works because the subjects think that they might actually be getting a real drug - essentially a game of cat and mouse where the brain subconsciously fills in the gaps. If you know for a fact /1

nothin pissed me off more than when i started taking ashwagandha and immediately stopped being depressed. fuck you. thats stupid. why does this work. fuck you

@thdxr I think you answered you own question on why it's not worth bikeshedding over
But agreed that llms still don't have high crafstmanship they are great at writing good enough code that is only good enough because of how fast they can refactor it if it becomes a problem

@dzungli000 @HSVSphere @athasdev i’m in the exact same position lmao, it even seems janky to install and configure with nix
English
@pelletsboi @HSVSphere @athasdev have you tried paperwm.spoon, im considering using it but i dont wanna set it up just for it to be jank

@TravisMWhitaker @JustDeezGuy @EffectTS_ @MichaelArnaldi What's the minimum experience required as a SWE ; as a Haskeller?
English
I did purely functional Scala for over a decade because I could find jobs in it… until I couldn’t. Thankfully; @EffectTS_ is purely functional TypeScript, even if @MichaelArnaldi doesn’t want to admit it.

Narrator: it wasn't a beautiful example of why nobody cares about Haskell. Well-Typed improved titles and thumbnails. Clickthrough rate probably went up, but you aren't retaining people who randomly clicked on a pretty thumbnail and got exposed to advanced Haskell. Instead, they lost people who would've actually watched the videos, because "AI image bad". The real reason why nobody cares about Haskell is that Haskell is hard and not easily monetizable. That's it, that's the reason. Like going to the gym consistently is hard and so most people don't do it, despite all the entirely obvious benefits. And Haskell doesn't even have any obvious benefits. No matter the packaging, non-entry-level Haskell content is never going to be popular unless Haskell expertise starts paying off at scale.

@sudo_goreng Use both
Arch -> Bleeding edge things
Nix -> config (ssh, zsh, etc)
Mise -> per project basis
English
Got him to use omarchy, replacing nixos
Goreng@sudo_goreng
Just forced an intern to teach me NixOS 9PM on a Sunday by breaking down his configuration file by file and helping me write my own. I didn't know that you need to manually write everything, even the hardware parts. github.com/raexera/yuki

@Gomo8 @sovereignravens @JoeCassandra @texasrunnerDFW that’s not how taxes work retard. in countries with free healthcare you don’t pay less tax if you don’t go to the hospital
English
@sovereignravens @JoeCassandra @texasrunnerDFW I think those without children shouldn’t have to pay as much property taxes. They are not receiving as much services so they shouldn’t pay as much in taxes

@androsoa3 @crypt0x_0 some people have huge families, no way to get around that
English
my wife and her family don't want a big wedding, that's extremely rare, big weddings are really dumb
StripMallGuy@realEstateTrent
My wife's cousin and his fiancé visited us earlier today. He's 26, she's 25, and they shared their weddings plans with us. Big guest count, expensive venue. I started to wonder how they can afford it, so I asked what it will cost: $100k. I was shocked. I am not yet sure if

@dhh Is there any way to run Omarchy with a conventional VM? I don't like the flow of tiled, I've tried.

I used an iMac as my main computer for many, many years. Love seeing these machines get new life after being abandoned by Apple. This 2012 is great, but the 2014+ machines are even more appealing because of the great 5K display. I have one in storage somewhere!
Jens Eickmeyer@jenseickmeyer
My Apple iMac from 2012 has been resurrected! I’ve successfully installed Omarchy on it today. Was actually pretty smooth.

@KyleLeiblein @Agent_Stickman @BoringBiz_ telling people to stop acknowledging that this is a problem only leads to us never fixing it.
we need to talk about things if we ever want to change them
English
@pelletsboi @Agent_Stickman @BoringBiz_ You want a perfect world that doesn't exist. We all do, but it's not realistic, at least not in our lifetime.
English
An entire generation under the age of 30 is coming to realization that having a family and home will never be within the grasp of reality for them
Society is not ready for the consequences of this. A generation with no stake in the system would rather watch it burn
English
@KyleLeiblein @Agent_Stickman @BoringBiz_ i do understand it.
what i’m telling you is that you’ve got to think of the other people who may not be able to reach the same things as you.
and they shouldn’t have to live shitty lives because of that.
English
@pelletsboi @Agent_Stickman @BoringBiz_ While you may not fully understand it yet, you will appreciate this perspective in time...
Self-motivation and understanding one's value truly are valuable assets to financial success. I just wish I'd recognized this sooner.
English
@KyleLeiblein @Agent_Stickman @BoringBiz_ i am doing good, so no, i’m not on the same boat.
but i’m not disillusioned that all people need is more effort and everything will be alright.
not everyone can just put in more effort and come out on top, and even so, that shouldn’t be needed for you to live a mundane life
English
@pelletsboi @Agent_Stickman @BoringBiz_ Conscious effort is what people lack. It sounds like you might be on that same boat?
I was just like many of you not even 6 years ago, but I stopped playing the victim card.

No, they can't. 'Affordable towns and states' don't exist because they're gentrified by foreigners, so there's no business there.
'Renovate their homes' that they don't own, so have to rent and can't modify due to rental agreements.
'Learn a skill' Maybe in between shifts at their 2+ jobs, or maybe if they can scrape the cash together due to being unemployed.
No one expects handouts. We want what you had; opportunity. Unfortunately, your generation decided that was for foreigners, so you offshored manufacturing, you outsourced support centres, you hired migrants to potwash and wait tables, and be janitors and no one reads the paper these days, so no paper rounds, and you can't have lemonade stands because little Sally didn't get a health inspection etc etc etc.
You're out of touch, you're out of line, and when you finally stop being able to vote against the interests of those younger than you, there will be an upheaval.
English
@KyleLeiblein @Agent_Stickman @BoringBiz_ of course, how has no one ever thought of getting a better paying job??? how dumb of everyone
English
@Agent_Stickman @BoringBiz_ Rather than focusing on being a victim, there are practical solutions that don't involve working three jobs.
For example, seeking out a better paying position with better benefits or moving to an area with a lower cost of living, preferably outside of a major city.

@NataliyaS250486 @_mii_nipah @lurkingforev @jakubtomsu_ as a consumer you don’t parse private x lmao

Andrew is right imo
zack@zack_overflow
Zig devs: Can we have private fields pls Creator of Zig: No just name them really, really carefully and hope for the best

@WhidbeyRando @GenevaInvestor @jaenicc it’s not 400k visitors, it’s 400k people doing the camino, which are two very different things
English
@GenevaInvestor @jaenicc In American terms, 400k visitors - especially if they have a shared destination not shared by other people - is light tourism.
Rick Steves includes one of these pilgrimage places as an attraction in and of itself. Crowd and all.
English
This is by far the most underrated region in Europe. Best gastronomy on the continent. lush forests and mountains. Few tourists.
