Goodbye [old].[reddit].[com]

Which brings me to boil is that they use 'pardner'.
I'm not your pardner in any way. I just wanted to read an aswer in my search results for a quite specific question.

Every time I read this 'whoa there, pardner' I want to scream at my screen that they should shut the fuck up.

My debugging experience today: Quantum Debugging

I'm new to Go and wanted to copy some text-data from a stream into the outputstream of the HTTP response. I was copying the data to and from a []byte with a single Read() and Write() call and expexted everything to be copied as the buffer is always the size of the while data. Turns out Read() sometimes fills the whole buffer and sometimes don't.
Now I'm using io.Copy().

Yea, such comparisons should be done in units like "% of average worker salery". Not saying that their argument is wrong and things are way better now, I just don't like absolute value comparisons over such distances.

H..How can someone come even close to think it is a smart move to stand behind someone, invading personal space (at minimum with their arm), grabbing and taking away ones belongings aka the headphones and then expecting that person will be happy to have a nice chat with you which results in a date?

VPN only with ID check in UK?

How should this be enforced? Mullvad doesn't even know where the customers are from (if they pay anonymosly), so they can't check if the legislation applies to a specific customer.

Also (and I'm not trying to legitimate such law projects), age verification without identity leak is possible. The government needs to distribute a ZK proof system linked to ID cards which creates a signed proof including "holder of the ID is over/under 18" and a service-dependend pseudonym (to prevent repeating the proof for other users).

Python vs. Java

I really don't like comparing languages by Hello World complexity. You could use a lang which needs 3 chars to print it but sucks at everything else but it would still look better at first glance.

As for this specific comparison: let the project grow to only midsize and you will crave for static types and well separated classes.

Senate Rejects War Powers Resolution That Would Force Trump to End Iran Strikes

I had a quick look at it. It request your credit card details + account balance. The API has no real validation, so we could probably spam their database with the Beemovie script xD \ After submittimg data, you get insulted in (I guess) russian.

It even has a support chat. But it locks up after the scam "completes" and the link seems to be single-use. So I was not able to check if they plugged a LLM behind it.

Update: the link works again after deleting cookies. I was not able to get the chat to generate anything. Maybe a real person is wasting their time there, lol.
