I've recently stumbled upon a post on Scala Contributors by Kit Langton describing how he managed to create the illusion of adding automatically derived (publicly visible) members to a companion of a class. Something that's no longer possible to achi...

I dearly miss lilo, it was the best bootloader. But then everyone started using grub which I hated with a passion. So glad that there are so much better options nowadays.

I still remember the old times before xorg.confs were modular. The truly hard times.

We all do. To prepare for the sequel of course.

Obviously sausages.

If you read the few articles about people being attacked by AI in the recent months they all tell the same story: it's not possible. The AI companies are targetting on purpose other sites and working non stop to actively avoid any kind of blocking that could be active. They rotate IPs regularly, they change User agents, they ignore robots.txt, deduplicate requests over bunch of ips, if they detect they are being blocked they start only doing one request in each ip, they change user agents the moment they detect one is being blocked, etc etc etc.

Seems a little different from what I remember from the movie.

What kind of dumb language is this?

The 3d tvs were quick to die compared to this.

The secret is to drink lots of water before going in. Then you can pee without worry.

Oh you were talking about that series. I've never watched it. But that fun.

Yep, then I'm sure you're gonna like it. I was really surprised in some situations in the plot and like where it's going. At the end of s2 I was craving for more really hard. Very happy for the s3 being approved.

I finished watching it a few weeks ago and I don't remember that 😅. But I likely skipped a few episodes here and there, so no surprises there.

I caught a few early episodes on Syfy channel and they didn't impress me much. After a few days I saw a few more random episodes and started to care and get attached to the story and characters.
I've watched what I think is everything that is out now, 2 seasons I guess. I'm liking it a lot more than I would expect. High potential for it to keep being good. But yeah, the starting episodes are a little slow.

Best country in the world they keep telling us.

The Ark, tv series.

It will work as everything as worked before: you will need to have and external card to have proper space, nothing new.

We don't even have jesus coming for his birthday, you think we have replicators 🥲

Many people have 60 and 100w usbc adapters already. I know I do.

Lol no.

Netflex knows

«I'm happy to announce the release of Cats Effect 3.6.0! https://github.com/typelevel/cats-effect/releases/tag/v3.6.0
This was a gargantuan effort, and as I've previously mentioned (and discuss in the notes), it sets the stage for the future of CE's runtime with a series of almost entirely behind the scenes changes to the way that we handle asynchronous I/O and interacting with the kernel in the happy path. This not only opens the door to true multithreaded Scala Native support, but also a much higher performance ceiling on the JVM» quoted from @djspiewak mastodon post.
