You won't get that from artists

Bullshit. That's so fucking elitist. Go ask all the people using midjourney to generate slop if they're artists. They're artists as much as vibe coders are programmers.

Kinda wish I had social media right now so I could tell DevilsPanties to go fuck themselves.

CEOs are demanding that programmers use AI, and measuring how much they use it. If they don't use it enough, they're in the next round of layoffs. Vibe coders are people who don't know how to code, and probably aren't working for a corp.

Seriously, attacking the workers? Motherfuckers.

Any chance of bringing this one back? It doesn't seem to be working.

Edit: Nevermind, seems the problem is on my end.

I wonder if 3d printed driver tips would be better for matching the material strength and reduce stripping. Or maybe they wouldn't have enough strength at all and would just twist and fall apart.

I was also wondering how well printing drywall anchors would work.

Thanks! I didn't know about that community.

TLDR: 3.11 is twice as fast as 3.10 at doing global name lookups, so an old speedup hack of aliasing a global function locally isn't needed.

For example, when calling len() in a loop, going l=len, and calling l() in the loop was faster in 3.10. In 3.11, moreso in 3.13, it's almost a wash.

However, the author says this:

Accessing functions through a module [e.g. math.sin()] or a deep attribute chain can still carry overhead. Creating a local alias or using "from module import name" continues to be effective in those situations.

But when I look at the numbers, I would say 3.13 is pretty close to making it an unnecessary optimization in general. A little subjective on how you interpret the numbers.

Great info, but this was like trying to use a recipe and reading the author's life story to get there.

Yeah that was just the byline and I grabbed some excerpts about what triggered it.

Thanks for pointing this out though. Personally, I'm glad they're taking action and coming at it from multiple angles.

 

Original Title: Winnipeg business owner says overflowing bin that led to overcharge staged by garbage company

A Winnipeg business owner is fuming after being overcharged by a private garbage operation for something he says he didn’t do. Brad Wallin, president of Wallin Industries, a local metal fabrication business, told 680 CJOB’s 'The Start' that a recent bill for garbage pickup from Waste Management of Canada Corporation was a whopping six times higher than usual.

The company issued Wallin Industries an additional overage charge for what the company said was an overflowing bin, but Wallin alleged it was deliberately staged by the Waste Management employee — and Wallin said he has video evidence. Global News has obtained the security footage, which Wallin said shows the Waste Management driver altering the appearance of the bin for photo “proof” that it was overfilled.

“It shows the driver pulling up, he gets out of the truck, he unlocks the bin, he reaches into the dumpster, starts pulling out a little bit of cardboard, hangs it over the edges,” Wallin said.

Wallin said he contacted the company to complain, but was given the runaround until finally hearing from an executive at Waste Management’s Toronto headquarters. “In my eyes, it’s just not acceptable," Wallin said.

 

I feel like I haven't seen anyone talking about this press release here and I'm curious about what people think.

  • "$15 billion top-up to the Apartment Construction Loan Program to build a minimum of 30,000 new apartments." Edit to add: "With this top-up, the program’s financing is on track to build over 131,000 new apartments within the next decade."
  • "new reforms to the Apartment Construction Loan Program to increase access to the program and make it easier for builders to build"
  • "Launching Canada Builds – partnering with provinces and territories to build more rental housing across the country"
  • "Yesterday, we announced a new $6 billion Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund and a $400 million top-up to the Housing Accelerator Fund to ensure communities have the infrastructure they need to grow and build more homes"

Is this more lip service or are these genuinely working in the right direction to increase housing?

 

You can scrub through and find different views, some showing the eclipse itself, some showing the crowds and reactions.

(Robson and Richards. Article doesn't indicate that anyone was hurt, it seems like a bullet did go into the Tim Horton's in that area.)

 

I'm enjoying exploring Lemmy with Voyager. I really like the design and its very stable.

The one issue I'm running into with it is not knowing where links will take me. At times, clicking on YouTube links is just a waste of time for me, for example. Or if it's a New York Times, etc. link, I know to just go to the comments and look for the archive link instead.

Would it be possible to get the domain of the links in Compact view to be shown? Personally, I'd be willing to sacrifice space (increase the size of the compact tiles) for this, but i don't think that will be necessary. My personal preference would be to have it in the same colour as the poster's server.

Can we get an option to change the behaviour of the Android Back button when using the in-app browser?

My preference would be that it would act like a browser back button and take me back a page if I've browsed beyond the initial page I went into the browser for. The in-app back button at the top left would still always take me back to the post or post list like it currently does. Additionally, I'd prefer that the Android never brought me out of the browser, even if I was on the initial page, but some people might not like that.

Or... Having a dedicated browser toolbar with back, forward, refresh and the url would be ínteresting.

Thanks for the awesome app!
