Sorry your friends suck. I haven't heard those type of jokes since South Park did the whole "haha Kyle's a jew" thing 20 years ago. I hear a lot more "from the river to the sea" than I did back then tho.
Edit - i may have misread your post. If your friends dont suck im happy and sorry for saying they do
It's very obvious in this thread that you have hands on experience and many others do not. 20+ years professional SWE here, a majority of it applied ML/big data/etc. LLMs are really bad at many things but specifically using them as a natural language layer over NPC interactions would be relatively easy and seems like a great use case honestly.
It's been working its way through California courts since the 2015 WHO guidelines said processed meats are carcinogenic. Under Prop 65 that should have triggered immediately labeling processed meats as "Known to the State of California to cause cancer" (like we already have on any charred food, parking garages, etc) but because reasons a decade later I think it is still being adjudicated.
Is that the new one? This spring i read the 3 original ones (had never heard of the series A friend turned me on to it) but I've been holding off reading the new one to make it last.
West coast would be fine. California grows over 50% of the fruits and nuts, and 30% of the vegetables for the entire US. The "farm belt" states mostly grow cash crops for animal feed, energy production, and overseas export.
Oh god good ol ActiveSupport. I'm having flashbacks of so many ruby projects trying not to bring it in and basically reinventing it but poorly documented.
I still would say it was the language I've most enjoyed (professionally used most all higher level languages over 20+ years) but it might be nostalgia for a time early 2010s when rails was just freaking magic compared to the ways we used to build web apps.
That's not quite right, the language has defined Int#days and 10 is actually Int(10). 10.days calls the instance method days on an instance of an Int (it has been years since I've used ruby so not sure if the stdlib class is actually Int)
Not just patent trolls, most US corporations (at least every non boutique tech company I've worked for over the past 20 years) are incorporated in Delaware.
My wife and I are 40 with 3 kids (in another week two of them will be in high school!) and we quote this at least twice a month, usually in bed, usually while pretend stiff-arming the other and saying "whooooooooomphf"
I dont think Afghanistani or Persian ethnic people are semitic. Iraq would probably count but probably a majority of Muslims in the world aren't semitic.
Dang, very sad. I was just in Nosara a few weeks back with my family and definitely noticed some serious rips (no surprise, the conditions that make a break good for surfing also make it dangerous).
Do you live here? There are major population centers on both sides of the bridge (Richmond on one end, San Rafael on the other) and the Ohlone trail + Richmond Greenway means you can ride a bike from Emeryville all the way to the bridge quite easily.
That said it's a beast of a commute to ride. I'd say 90% of the bikers I see on there aren't using it to commute but are using it for exercise/pleasure cycling. I do see about 10% of bikers on ebikes that could make this a viable commute.
