i’ve also been told this. i would much rather be nice and single than in a relationship hinging on me not being nice.

also fake and gay

yeah there’s a lot of regex in there so i definitely get wanting some compiled parts.

interesting! it should be equal since it’s always just a pointer to that same table.

the key does stop existing, insofar as referring to any name that is not defined in lua results in nil. which includes variables, since they are defined in a global table. i don’t actually know what happens internally.

yeah that’s probably when you should drop down to C.

i think the most interesting design detail of lua tables is just glossed over as “nil-holes” in this article. namely, that nil values do not exist. there is no table.delete(key) method, you just zero out the value and the key stops existing. the same thing is true for any variable, if you set it to nil it ceases to be. i find that implementation fascinating.

everything i see about improv groups is usually forced improv, where the “yes and” is taken literally (as in added to every sentence) and it’s really cringe-inducing.

also it’s not really a thing here.

i’ve dm’ed some oneshots that didn’t really go well. i think i lack the structure.

that’s a fair take. it could be learned behaviour from uni, where every sentence was a joke.

it could also stem from an unwillingness to share personal stuff, i guess.

i mean conversations are usually devoid of references, which is why i think it sticks out so much. if i’m in a reference-heavy conversation i’m most likely talking to them about a niche topic where knowledge of references, and therefore the basis of those references, is assumed. maybe i’m subconsciously judging them as “not in the know”?

this is obviously stream-of-conscience, but… am i mentally gatekeeping people?

a class can be inherited from, a struct can not.

yeah but it’s not made by the people the propaganda works for. they’re just cogs. normal propaganda is made by the people championing the cause in question.

advertising is just propaganda without a cause

ah, you’re one of those weirdos

well they don’t share their stuff either

not really, i’m not allowed to share what i do

well since it’s all locked down there’s nothing to train on. and if you find something it’s usually specific to one device and doesn’t transfer.

i’m in embedded systems. i’ve yet to see an llm manage to do anything even remotely useful in anything close to my field. and i don’t predict them being able to anytime soon, because everything is proprietary and locked down to single vendors.

Among Us is a 2018 video game with hidden roles, reminiscent of the party game mafia/werewolf. one or two players are “impostors” and their goal is to kill the other players, whose goal is to finish a set of tasks before everyone is killed.

the first line is a chat message, the second is a player indicator. the smaller heads next to it shows who voted for that player to be thrown out.

for one video, absolutely. for fifty? it’s a lifesaver.
