  • Pyrefly vs. ty: Comparing Python’s Two New Rust-Based Type Checkers

    Jump

  • I'm desperate for better type checking in Python, and part of that is speed. So I'm very interested in these options

    I recently started using uv based on a recommendation in another thread so I'll probably give ty a whirl sometime soon

  • Book Discussion: Pride & Prejudice

    Jump

  • It's definitely bizarre, because nobody in the story actually "works" besides the local militia and servants, yet everyone has money and is rich

    It appears to be because you get a lump sum at some point (inheritance, dowry, whatever) then "invest" it and get interest payments. Or, in the case of Mr. Bennet, they have land that they pay others to work or lease out to farmers. Just really fascinating how hand-wavey the money is, it just "is" for the most part and you don't explain how or why you are rich

  • A Roblox farming game made by a teenager [...] had 8.9 million players online [Roblox claims they are not bots] at the same time—Steam peaked at 11.5 million across all games on the same day

  • I suppose then a more accurate description would have been horticulture; but I'm using "farming" here as in planting and growing things, not for subsistence necessarily

  • I guess on some level there's something wholesome about it being a gardening game. I wonder how much of the success is owed to the natural human inclination towards farming

  • A smarter, simpler Firefox address bar

  • I don't like it, but I appreciate your opinion. I'm open to being convinced it's cool, so hearing positive opinions is a positive

    Thank you

    I am so tired of political discussion on the Internet

    Jump

  • And changing minds is difficult, and by all accounts requires kindness and understanding rather than blame and dehumanizing.

    I get frustrated with how most outspoken people on the left seem to take the easy answer of "they're evil!" when talking about people who disagree with them

  • Do you tag people in Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I tag mostly for humor, things I think are funny, unique traits about a person that I've noticed are a pattern. Some examples

    • thinks the moon landing is fake
    • documents tankies
    • LOVES Taylor Swift

  • After a trans teacher was fired, 2,000 people rallied against workplace discrimination. And they won.

  • FYI for anyone not in the know, this is the Good Good Good Newspaper advertised by Hank Green

    It only consists of "good" news and is very uplifting - generally every print edition features some kind of theme like "animals" or "medicine" or "art"

    If you can afford to support, I think it's a great way to encourage more uplifting news in our world

  • If real-life had D&D stats, what would yours look like? Would you focus new points on any in particular?

  • Depends on your charisma stat...

  • In my mind, charisma is easily the hardest one to improve. The rest you can grind out or get better with age but Charisma is tough

  • If real-life had D&D stats, what would yours look like? Would you focus new points on any in particular?

    Jump

  • I think mine would be around average in most:

    • 7 Strength
    • 9 Dexterity
    • 8 Constitution
    • 12 Intelligence
    • 11 Wisdom
    • 8 Charisma

    I would probably focus on Intelligence and Wisdom, but I think having a higher charisma would be also be very nice

  • Selling BTC or not..?

    Jump

  • My advice would be to treat investing in unique assets - like shares in one company or Cryptos - as gambling: only put in what you're willing to lose. Anything you can't afford to lose should be saved or put into index funds with lower risk and volatility.

    You just cannot know what an asset will do in 6 months. You can have a really good guess, but at the end of the day it's still a guess. And that guessing is even more difficult when it's a non-productive asset like Bitcoin, because then you're just gambling on vibes. There isn't much logic to Bitcoin's price besides "what if" and FOMO.

    So yes, if you can afford to lose the money, you can leave it in. But if that money going to zero overnight would impact your quality of life or ability to absorb unexpected expenditures, then liquidate.

    And on a more personal note, you're probably better off having the drone you want than flipping a (digital) coin and hoping it's heads

  • ELI5 Why does crypto keep spiking for no reason?

    Jump

  • The asset price spikes when lots of buying happens, not selling. If more buys are occurring, then sellers are able to sell their assets for more (simple supply and demand). A spike up in price means more buying (lower supply).

  • I think the "high-speed" is the important part there. You have reduced speeds after the first 30Gb
