In the dotnet 8 announcement the brag is that a minimal web service will be 8.5 megs

I’ve been told many times that China controls Reddit and that’s a 5% stake, so …

I bought a Philips device and installed the companion app (Kitchen+). It has a decent selection of recipes that you can filter by appliance and other stuff. You can add your own recipes too.

I love my airfryer and may upgrade it to a larger one. I’ve started making my own food again instead of eating fast food every day (depression sucks).

A lot complainers in the comments. 🙄

The big ones for me are collection expressions and primary constructors. They reduce boilerplate and make code easier to read, which is always welcome.

It’s characters from a popular TV show as knitted figures.

Which works were sampled for this?

Aren’t we talking about a scenario where anyone left behind will die? That’s billions of people every time we hop planets. Am I missing something?

I think you severely underestimate the difficulty in establishing a biosphere. Could we grow crops? Yeah, sure, I guess. Hydroponics, if nothing else. It’d be a nearly completely barren world with just a few crop fields. How inspiring.

Habitability is about more than just gravity, atmosphere, etc.

Earth has a biosphere compatible with human life. If all technology disappeared overnight, humanity would survive.

There’s also the issue of moving billions of people.

Fixing our shit is incomprehensibly easier than making another planet habitable.

Except for the divine cake. That one just always existed because I say so.

I am not sure of the relevance of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter is the cravings of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter

Yeah, totally. Repeating the same nonsensical sentence over and over is also how I converse. 🙄

It’s fine if you think so, but then it’s a pointless argument over definitions.

You can’t have a conversation with autocomplete. It’s qualitatively different. There’s a reason we didn’t have this kind of code generation before LLM’s.

Adversus solem ne loquitor.

Does AlphaGo understand go? How about AlphaStar?

When I say LLM’s can understand things, what I mean is that there’s semantic information encoded in the network. A demonstrable fact.

You can disagree with that definition, but the point is that it’s absolutely not just autocomplete.

LLMs are neural networks and are absolutely capable of understanding.

I agree you should use a switch where applicable, but ternaries are the expression equivalent of if-else statements. If I have two conditions and a default, and each branch simply evaluates to a value of the same type, I’ll probably just use a ternary.

Yes, you need to read code to understand it. If else statements can also do the job of a switch, so the exact same argument applies.

PHP is the only language in existence with a left associative ternary operator. Ignoring PHP, the operator has worked exactly the same way for decades. And even PHP has now fixed the operator.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to avoid a very commonly supported pattern just because a single badly designed language implemented it wrong.

How is it unsafe?

In the given example I’d probably use a switch / match expression, but ternaries are usually more flexible than switches and I don’t think it’s an issue to write a nested ternary instead of if else statements.
