In response to your spoiler:

I specifically didn’t like that scene because it’s a massive departure from the lore of all the other films. If they could just do that, why haven’t both sides been doing that all the time? Is it supposed to be that this group is the first group to try this, with the tech that has been around for at least a few centuries? If they had all died in the process I’d be more ok with that, although that also seems like a departure from how hyperspace works in the other films.

I’ve seen similar toys described as an “escape room in a box”

The only announced Nintendo games that are Switch exclusive are Mario Kart, Kirby Air Ride sequel, and the new Donkey Kong

I got nitro for higher audio quality so I could stream background music while running a DnD campaign over discord.

It also increases your streaming resolution and file upload size limit which is quite useful.

It also lets you use emojis from any server in any other server, which isn’t “useful” but is fun and I do it all the time.

For these 3 things I think it’s worth it. It’s worth noting I have a grandfathered Nitro plan that is more features than “Nitro Basic” but less features than the next tier at a cost that’s in between.

The real enshitification I’m worried about is the gradually increasing prevalence of ads in increasingly prominent places.

I learned how to count to 10 and a few other random bits of Korean in Tae Kwon Do class.

That’s not an outlandish amount of storage. You can get more than that for $200.

I’ve worked on a library that’s Python because the users of said library are used to Python.

The original version of the project made heavy use of numpy, so the actual performance sensitive code was effectively C++ and fourtran, which is what numpy is under the hood.

We eventually replaced the performance sensitive part of the code with Rust (and still some fourtran because BLAS) which ended up being about 10x faster.

The outermost layer of code is still Python though.

Name an anime without a shower/bath scene. It’s a lot harder than you’d think.

For the most part it’s best to use system provided sorting implementations, but somebody has to write those implementations, so every once in a while somebody needs to do it (in practice by looking up a reference implementation of course).

But also it’s good to understand things like big O scaling and why we use quicksort rather than a naive insertion sort and when to use quick sort vs merge sort or some other form of stable sort.

What about fictional or ancient religious swears?

• by the power of Ra!
• may Zeus grant mercy
• by Grabthar’s hammer!
• thank Thor

When I’m in a gaming VC I sometimes swap in setting-appropriate swears.

What about political figures?

• thanks Obama

What about cringy internet/gaming references?

• God damn -> mods ban
• thank god -> thanks chat

Lego quality is still good but has noticeably degraded over the years.

And the entertainment systems crash and bug out all the time so I sure hope the more important systems are developed more thoroughly lol

Split it into multiple credit cards. I had a similarly very large expense recently, and I have 3 credit cards. I asked each for a credit limit increase, and took what I could get (none of them gave me what I requested, but all of them gave me some increase). Then I split the cost over all 3 cards.

I’ve used multiprocessing to squeeze more performance out of numpy and scipy. But yeah, resorting to multiprocessing is a sign that you should be dropping into something like Rust or a C variant.

Of the ways you listed the only one that will actually take advantage of a multi core CPU is multiprocessing

Wait hasn’t DDG been the default in Safari for a few years now?

They have some really small ones that only require like 1GB of VRAM, but you’ll generally get better results if you pick the biggest model that fits on your GPU.

I meant the productivity suite not just file sharing. I edited my comment to try to make it clearer.
