Or the other group, instead of actually being motivated are being influenced by the those who would benefit even more from the distribution of chaos.
This seems ripe for an injection attack. Can it be inspected before running?

When the sock bot dries the socks, matches and folds them together we're at peak robot. Come to think of it, its got to not lose either of them also. Current tech falls short of this.
It's to continue the culture of bullying and lack-of-accountability by and for the perversely rich oligarchy.

For you'll need to be accounted while they do the counting.

I do a github pages workflow + vue + vite

Push updates to the md file and it rebuilds itself.

Listen to dance music or classical without the lyrics....I've NEVER been able to code/work and listen to music with language/lyrics. Words overwhelm my mental bandwidth. Same shit happens to me with the piano. Please don't speak while I try to play.

Not quite, with the thumb buttons like the Trackball Explorer had. Closest I can find is the DEFT Pro https://elecomusa.com/products/deft-pro-trackball

I miss the old microsoft track ball. The ball wasn't a thumb exercise as it was under your index-middle-ring fingers and you clicked with the thumb.

Working. In my 30 years employed I've managed to invest enough to make up a little. I've probably 24 years left. I think I can more than double my 401k in that time but that still won't be 1M

If crypto keeps going up there's a chance my 3k investment in it eclipses my 40yr 401k so I'm hoping for that....

Re:Getting AI to write good SQL on Saturday May 17, 2025 @12:25PM (#44015360)
It really gave me a lot of push back once when I wanted to use a js library over a python one for a particular project. Like I gave it my demo code in js and it basically said, "meh, cute but use this python one because ...reasons..."
For me I had to upload the library's current documentation to it because it was using outdated references and changing everything that was working in the code to broken and not focusing on the parts I was trying to build upon.

Wouldn't that just lead to ~~simple~~ incorrectness?

Re:Power over fiber on Thursday January 04, 2024 @09:02AM (#38867052)
I think that sometimes when humor is added, in this way, it is to make you pause first.

At least in my mind when I encounter something oddly said/written my mind starts suggesting contexts and I can clearly "see" myself going blind by doing me like things.
