  • Why did you even bring up AI? IDEs have been able to generate equality functions for decades without AI.

    It’s kinda neat to have this defined directly in the language so that compilers can implement it, but creating equality function is so low effort that this doesn’t really seem like a big deal.

    Like, you define the members in a class, then you tell your IDE to generate getters, constructor, equals, hashcode, etc all in like 5 seconds.
    I like it, it’s nice when the language itself defines reasonable defaults for things, but realistically you’re saving yourself a few seconds of effort.



  • There are so few native desktop apps these days, it’s all on the web.
    And the browser can glean a lot more about user interaction than just web traffic, like where you hover, what parts of the page you’re interacting with, etc.
    That’s why I said that (combined with phone), Google probably knows more.

    But it’s probably a pretty close competition

    There was never a fig leaf. They already didn’t need to devote any attention to political cover, the USA already made it clear that it wouldn’t tolerate holding Israel or any of the Israeli politicians accountable in international courts.

    The difference between the two is purely in wording and absolutely immaterial. If anything, trump is being more honest about it.

    Trump is terrible for other reasons, but they’re both equal in this matter

    how about his commitment to arm Israel with no strings attached? No humanitarian aid, no cease fires…

    Oh you mean exactly like right now?

    Anyone who thinks that orange man is an improvement is an idiot. But anyone who thinks Kamala would be better is also an idiot.

    Israel is already getting everything they could ever wish for. There is nothing that Trump could offer that they’re not already getting, including protection from the international community.

    Increased suffering?
    How can their suffering be increased more than it is now?

    Israel is already getting everything could have ever wished for. There is nothing trump could do to make that worse.

    There were other reasons to vote for Harris, but this wasn’t one.

    What will trump do to cause more Palestinian deaths?
    What COULD he do?

    Israel is already getting everything they wanted, and facing zero consequences or obstacles.

    I don’t disagree with you wrt American deaths, but that’s not what this post is about





  • I like purple, but in a kitchen it seems like a bad choice. It makes it look like a toy kitchen set, kinda.

    And there is some kind of dichotomy about the floors that is off-putting. I love the look, but its like if it can’t decide if it’s trying to be elegant or bold, and it kinda doesn’t pull off either. Like… The fake marble McMansion isn’t a great vibe, but unique natural pattern with bold colors is cool af.





  • American exceptionalism and identity politics have become so ingrained in the culture that it is too painful for people to identify as lower class and needing assistance. Needing help has become considered a moral failing of the individual instead of a failing of the society, and that feeds back into itself to prevent people from changing the culture.
