Are you allergic to going outside?

I watched a grand designs episode where the parents (well, inflicted by the wife) Munchausen by proxied these allergies onto their kids. They were obsessive about having an allergy free house and spent hundreds of thousands building one with, basically a lesser version of what you explained up there.

Revisiting several years later, the children had integrated with society (amazing that they weren’t homeschooled) and lo and behold - allergy free.

The provocative host coaxed out of the parents that they believed that the house did bugger all in terms of helping their children.

I wonder how the kids are doing now without their namby mother

My local MP won’t do anything and basically dismissed me as a pedo/terrorist for even considering talking against the OSA.

What can be done if those who represent you, don’t?

It looks the way it does because we like to see patterns even where there are none. E.g. you see a number 696969 and this seems more significant than 482649 for whatever reason

Bun has lots of issues and lots of incompatibilities with a lot of packages.

Command c command v works fine for me because I don’t “optimise” my experience.

It’s a fun game to do I guess but if you become “more productive” by having a slightly quicker mechanism to find a file through 9 different chords on your terminal only interface - you likely aren’t solving problems that are worthwhile.

Not really. If I have a service where I need one click to perform an action and store data. It has to be a GET. You can’t post from a url… purist dogma for the sake of purist dogma

5 seems to do a better job with copyrighted content. I got it to spit out the entirely of ep IV (but you have to redact the character names)

Back when openai released python interpretation it was trivial to do what they did there. There was no open network access, the only thing of interest was a little insight in to how their developers program. A couple of internal configuration files.

This is literally the same.

pinoy420 — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 11:32:51 +0000

There’s often a romantic expectation that charming relics like these, old market stalls or arcades etc etc, should simply continue to exist. But what’s often overlooked is that these aren’t just aesthetic artefacts they’re run and sustained by real people with real lives, modern needs, and evolving values. It has dwindling longevity.

Now instead of being explicit all it takes is someone unfamiliar with t strings (which will be almost everyone - still few know about f strings and their formatting capabilities) to use an f instead and you are in for a bad time.
