  • If this is the fixed version, “kw/h” isn’t a thing. Well, technically it is but doesn’t mean what you think. The unit for energy is kilowatt hours, or kWh. No “per” to be seen.

    Kind of like how torque is measured in foot pounds, not foot per pound.

    Sorry, I’m just an EV nerd who sees people make that mistake all the time and gets a little twitchy about it





  • That can also have its own dependencies. I tried to update some relatively simple apps that ran on Java 8 with some Spring libraries (not Boot) and had to deal with the Jakarta stuff to handle it… Only to discover that the Weblogic Application Server we use doesn’t support Jakarta just yet (or probably more accurately, STILL doesn’t!)



  • Whatever your passive income situation is, will it carry you through retirement with essentially no risk? If not, YTA. Get a job. Have a plan for the future that won’t bite you in the ass. And keep in mind large resume gaps really can be a red flag if things go south. (Whether they should or not is another issue - that’s the hand we’re dealt)

    If you are covered there… I think NAH? But also maybe YTA or ESH? The concept of not having to work at (I’m assuming you are) a relatively young age is pretty rare and the concept is hard to grasp. If you’ve got things covered, cool, but I can also understand how she might feel a bit of an unfair imbalance, kinda like how most people feel about the billionaire class. Whether that means you should work… I’m not sure.

    But here’s a big thing to consider: you’re not married. Even if you were, her being dependent on your passive income makes her all the more dependent on you. If your relationship comes to an end (which is always a possibility) she will need to make a living of her own. Problem is, she will have lost time to build up her own savings, experience, professional networking, etc while doing nothing and be at a huge disadvantage compared to others at her age.



  • If it’s a numeric ID (0-255) assigned to each person in the group, you’d either need to decrement later people or assign based on some kind of lowest available method, in which case you’d get kinda funny UX when new-member-Jerry can be #3 on the list because he’s taking over for old-member-Gerry, or he can be #255 because that’s the last spot.

    If we’re talking about pointers, I assume you mean a collection with up to 256 of them. In which case, there are plenty of collection data structures out there that wouldn’t really have a hard limit (and if you go with a basic array, wouldn’t that have a size limit of far more than 256 natively on pretty much any language?)

    If each user is assigned a number as to where they’re placed in the group, I guess. But what happens when people are added and removed? If #145 leaves a full group, does #146 and beyond get decremented to make room for the new #256? (or #255 if zero-indexed). It just doesn’t seem like something you’d actually see in code not designed by a first semester CS student.

    Also, more importantly, memory is cheap AF now 🤷‍♂️

    So, I get that 256 is a base 2 number. But we’re not running 8-bit servers or whatever here (and yes, I understand that’s not what 8-bit generally refers to). Is there some kind of technical limitation I’m not thinking of where 257 would be any more difficult to implement, or really is it just that 256 has a special place in someone’s heart because it’s a base 2 number?


  • I am subscribed to this community and I largely agree with you. Mostly I hate AI slop and that the human element is becoming an afterthought.

    That said, I work for a small company. My boss wanted me to look up AI products for proposal writing. Some of the proposals we do are pretty massive, and we can’t afford the overhead of a whole team of proposal writers just for a chance at getting a contract. But a closely-monitored AI to help out with the boilerplate stuff especially? I can see it. If nothing else, it’s way easier (and maybe better results) to tweak existing content than it is to create something entirely from scratch



  • The lack of anything listed? I was talking about the link above with official state foods, not the OP. Love green chili as an (but who calls it chili verde?)

    Having lived here for over a decade, and 2 states prior, I think the breakfast burrito deserves some recognition as an official food though. With green chili, of course.
