Games should have friendly fire more often to remind everyone not to fire into a melee

I know how to write a tree traversal, but I don't need to because there's a python module that does it. This was already the case before LLMs. Now, I hardly ever need to do a tree traversal, honestly, and I don't particularly want to go to the trouble of learning how this particular python module needs me to format the input or whatever for the one time this year I've needed to do one. I'd rather just have something made for me so I can move on to my primary focus, which is not tree traversals. It's not about avoiding understanding, it's about avoiding unnecessary extra work. And I'm not talking about saving the years of work it takes to learn how to code, I'm talking about the 30 minutes of work it would take for me to learn how to use a module I might never use again. If I do, or if there's a problem I'll probably do it properly the second time, but why do it now if there's a tool that can do it for me with minimum fuss?

Musk continues to demonstrate loud and clear that he is none of the things he claims to be.

Yeah. GPT models are in a good place for coding tbh, I use it every day to support my usual practice, it definitely speeds things up. It's particularly good for things like identifying niche python packages & providing example use cases so I don't have to learn shit loads of syntax that I'll never use again.

Then who's coming up with all the bits that I copy/paste off the internet? The regex dragon?

I don't really want to be involved in public transport people fuck on. But other than that you're describing trains. Busses are for short distance travel which I don't personally think requires much more luxury than a seat and a window.

Instead of "s/he is" you can say "they are", even though it's singular. "They" is the preferred pronoun for any situation where gender is unclear or (usually, but not always) for non binary people.

I'm sure he's weeping into his silk sheets right now from the indignity of the whole affair. Poor baby.

This is a good point. Especially because public transport comes out on top even if you consider them half empty, or cars full.

It seems odd that the average would be a range... Or that the range would include 5! I think 1 3/5 = 8/5 is more likely. Especially since they go on to assume 2 passengers, which would be pretty disengenuous if the average was higher than 2.

FTKs should never have been allowed.

Tricky to explain exactly. Sometimes the comment button goes straight to adding a new comment rather than the post's comments. To reach the comments I have to press it again. But because it's not consistent sometimes I have to press it several times to reach the actual comments.
