I hate writing and reading xml compared to json, I don’t really care if one is slightly leaner than the other. If your concern is the size or speed you should probably be rethinking how you serialize the data anyway (orotobuff/DB)

RICO laws basically destroyed the Mafia in the us.

You need to tell it to run the script

Declarative, functional code is by definition much closer to ai prompts than any imperative code. Businesses are just scared of functional programming because they think that by adopting oop then can make developers interchangeable, the reality is that encapsulation is almost never implemented in a proper way and we should be instead focusing on languages that enforce better systems over slamming oop into everything.

Hell, almost every modern developer agrees that inheritance is just bad and many frown upon polymorphic code as well.

So if we can’t properly encapsulate, we don’t want inheritance or polymorphism, we don’t want to modify state, what are we even doing with oop?

All three are different

5 Mbps is slow enough that it should be considered a free tier, like, basic service for being alive tier.

This is mostly the same in the us. It’s less common for drivers though, because you typically pay when you place the order and the driver just has you sign the paper as acknowledgement that you got the order.

This way the driver doesn’t need to carry around a card machine everywhere they go, instead the slip can go right with the receipt on the hot bag, this also means the driver doesn’t need to futz around with figuring out which order the tip goes to since they may have 3 or 4 orders on their run.

I delivered pizzas for a long time, there was about a six month period where we switched to square and it was horrible, people out in the country with no service meant I couldn’t run their card, also since the order wasnt processed already, people would argue about the price when we got there, even though they accepted the price on the phone, trying to get a deal since we already drove all the way out.

Signing a slip of paper is the absolute fastest method for a delivery driver and there is no obligation to fill in the ‘total’ part, you can just put the tip value on the tip line and a line through the total, no math.

Write the number 5 on a piece of paper and that’s it, faster than any machine, no hiccups with cell service, no batteries to keep charged, no greasy fingerprints on the screen. No worry about dropping it down 15 stories of stairs at a hotel, etc.

The game explores the idea of choice and structure in modern video game narratives.

It’s presented to you in such a way that you feel like you can’t break away from the established narrative, everything you do has actually been planned and accounted for, and even intended by the developer.

The parents are likely retired with a good pension and little debt, and so can support the kid indefinitely

You are conflating these concepts.

A business offering the donation at checkout doesn’t get to use your donation as a tax write off. You actually get to do that (though it’s unlikely you would get past the minimum deduction)

Bill Gates doing philanthropic work is the same as you donating through the grocery store.

Imagine thinking you are superior because you said the word tea, as if tea isn’t a famously high profile drink in the United States.

Seriously as an American, I don’t know a single person who doesn’t drink some type of tea.

Y’all can keep downvoting, but iced tea and sweet tea are both hugely important cultural drinks in the United States, so implying that Americans haven’t heard of tea is just wrong.

Why are you shouting?

It may be helpful for you to take a break from social media for a bit. This is clearly unhealthy for you.

Lost a lot of money on Star citizen eh?

How do you define novel? Because LLMs absolutely have produced novel data.

Lemmy has 50 thousand users and hosts mostly text and static images. YouTube has 2.7 billion users and hosts mostly high quality video. Pretending it’s even remotely the same is pointless.

Inspection buy offs are an industry term related to getting an inspectors approval on work accomplished, sorry I shouldn’t have used it since it doesn’t really translate.

So Alaska required more inspector intervention than other airlines I worked on.

We use the term ‘selling’ and ‘buying’ to refer to presenting the work and demonstrating that it is airworthy (before we go to lunch, let’s try to sell this to inspection, or, I won’t buy that until you verify that it is torqued properly)

Think of it like you saying you cleaned your room, and your parents going ‘i don’t buy that’.

It has nothing to do with money.

It’s unlikely that the plug door came off for maintenance in the first three months of the plane’s life.

I used to do maintenance (specifically on Alaska 37s) at an mro as an A&P. I worked on Alaska planes for about 5 years and compared to other airlines that I worked on, Alaska was almost always conforming to higher standards, they required more inspection buy offs, and were more likely to replace parts that technically were airworthy.

Also after Alaska had their jackscrew run-in, they overhauled their maintenance program and effectively handed it off to the FAA.

I agree that the problem is likely not with engineering, my opinion is that it lies with manufacturing and QC at Boeing though.

Phonk has also been very distorted since its origins, with drift phonk basically taking over as the commonly seen style.

I just got it from Wikipedia “Brazilian funk is a subgenre inspired by the underground hip hop style called phonk, which originated in the United States in the 1990s”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk_carioca

I will check out your recs for sure, thanks!

Are you talking about phonk maybe? This is a super common trope in the genre for sure.

While writing this comment I looked up Brazilian funk and realized that Brazilian funk is actually an offshoot genre of phonk, neat.
