@otfrom I definitely appreciate those that buck the trend!
re: misgendering?, positive
@lukyan Back when my hair was less... sparse, I definitely noticed that it was my long hair seen from the back that made people assume 'feminine' (which was mostly just amusing to me)
@lethalbit I think that assumes that you already know GRUB configuration - if you do, then that may well be easier. But for most people (who wouldn't) I expect that "just run this script and let it do its thing" is going to be the easier option.
@Lunaphied Growing up I got a sink in my room (right next to my bed) and I quite appreciated it for exactly that reason
@packbat Expanded answer: I find the first 're:' to be useful because I know that I'll be looking at *conversation* rather than an (initial) freestanding post, which helps me avoid discussion threads I've already read for example.
But beyond that it just expands the size of the CW while not conveying any useful new information to me.
@lethalbit Is it? I haven't had a reason to use it yet, but from what I understand you burn it to a thumbdrive once, and after that you just drop ISOs on it like any other thumbdrive and everything else is automatic?

@clarfonthey That is still 'trusting in the system' with no plan B, though.

I think the part that annoys me about the liberal response to fascism in the US isn't that they're trying to fight it in the courts - that's a good thing. The more counter-tactics, the better.
What annoys me is that a lot of liberals are *only* fighting it in the courts. It's not a part of a multi-pronged strategy, there's no calls for diverse (including direct) action from politicians, and there's no real cross-pollination between legal and direct action that I can see.
The whole thing overwhelmingly stinks of "we're going to hope for the best and let the legal system deal with it, so that we can continue pretending that we leave in a healthy democracy", ie. the "head in the sand" approach.
When what they *should* be doing is take every opportunity they can, direct action or otherwise, fire off all of them at once, and keep the different camps in contact to coordinate.
@lethalbit Presumably it's the "just works" factor that makes it popular.

Bloplang Pull Request #48592: Add zip method to iterators
This is a proposal to add the zip method to iterators. This would allow you to join two iterators together, alternating between results from both. E.g. tens.zip(hundreds) would give [10, 100, 20, 200, 30].... This has been the most requested feature on our wishlist for seven months, and my initial implementation here provides a 12% speed up on the test_cases/thousands_of_types.blop. 👍 532 👎 12 🚀 226 👀 114 😕 3
BlobBot says: Hi red_bean
! Thanks for opening a pull request to Bloplang! I've run your code, and found this: Maximum regression: 0.05%. Maximum improvement: 12.03%. I've assigned curly_brace
to approve your code. Don't forget to leave a star! 👍 221 🚀 179 👀 12
BlopBot added the "BlopBot Seal of Approval" "No regressions" labels.
I've never heard of "zip" before. Googling it, it seems to be a compression algorithm? Not sure what this has to do with iterators. I suggest naming it interleave instead. 👍 23 👎 34
zip seems to be pretty widely accepted. For example, Rust and Python call it zip. 👍 27 😕 1
yeah i've never head of zip before. interleave is too long tho, how about weave 👍 54 👎 27

This for loop could be better expressed as a map. 😕 1
How about spritz? In the idiolect of English spoken by my Discord server, spritz is very commonly used to refer to mixing things together. EDIT If you're going to laugh react, please leave a comment explaining why. 👍 5 😆 143
wtf is a spritz 👎 5 😕 26

That's a bug with your Linux distribution’s zip command, which has nothing to do with Bloplang. Open a thread on the Fedora forums to discuss that, although they'll probably tell you that Fedora 32 is EOL. 👍 66
Okay, so we have 17 votes in favour of zip, 12 for weave, 5 for spritz, and somehow only 2 for interleave. Oh, and 1 each for sprinkle, intersperse_at_least_two_iterators_with_each_other, and sum. I'm beginning to suspect botting. 👍 7 😕 12
Hey read bean
- this pull request is out of sync with main. Could you rebase on top of the twelve thousand commits that have occurred since you opened this? Thanks! 👍 63 🚀 2
:gale: whats stoping this from being merged? can we get an eta 👍 12 😕 2
It's mostly a debate on the name to use. I'm not sure why people aren't voting for interleave. I've provided numerous arguments as to why it's the obvious option, and I've even linked a conversation with ChatGPT 4-o proving that it makes the most sense. Sigh. 👍 2 😕 70 😆 11

@lynnesbian Okay, this is it, we're done, we've finished Github. Time to pack up and go home!

One of my favorite orgs that doesn't get enough attention is glia, which maintains a GitHub org filled with open source medical devices such as this stethoscope or this otoscope. All their projects are all licensed under the TAPR Open Hardware License. This is in addition to their actual sending of doctors and medical staff to war zones and underprivileged areas.

@archeokluit Ah, de spaties zijn in het versturen weer normaal geworden. Bijzonder. Maar goed, hopelijk nuttig zo :)
uittreksel van boek, lang
@archeokluit Dit is de tekst volgens de digitale kopie (de spaties zijn een beetje gek, ik weet niet waarom):
‘Radiogolven,’ zei hij, alsof dat voldoende uitleg was. Het is krankzinnig als je bedenkt wat je allemaal niet weet, achter ieder ding dat je niet weet schuilen weer honderd andere dingen die je niet weet en nooit zult weten, het is afschuwelijk.
‘En wat is jouw favoriete planeet, Johnny?’ vroeg Benji. Ik was blij met zijn goede humeur, wat konden die radiogolven mij verder schelen? Radiogolven konden muziek vervoeren, dus waarom geen foto’s over een afstand van een miljard kilometer?
‘De Aarde,’ zei Johnny knorrig. ‘De fucking Aarde. Dat is nogal logisch. Wat heb je nou aan die andere planeten? Aarde, wat een stomme naam ook, konden ze niks beters verzinnen.’
‘Iets als de Pale Blue Dot,’ zei Benji.
Toen begreep ik dat nog niet, die Pale Blue Dot, ik wachtte op uitleg. Maar Johnny was het blijkbaar zat, hij draaide het raampje open, waarna een verschrikkelijk gebulder de auto vulde, zodat we elkaar niet meer konden verstaan. Ik kon er niks van zeggen want het was inderdaad bloedheet geworden, en het was nog maar acht uur. Manen, dacht ik, wij zijn manen, Johnny en ik, we cirkelen om ons broertje heen. De oorzaak van dat cirkelen: zijn zwaartekracht. Manen cirkelen om planeten, planeten cirkelen op hun beurt om sterren, en sterren weer om zwarte gaten, als ik het goed heb. Inmiddels was er een rood lampje op het dashboard gaan branden.
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
