@antigermanist I mean... Even the stackexchange you posted has the answer for you right at the top. Your traditional "mens" bike was the original bike. That's the most obvious and structurally sound design. But women at that time were almost exclusively wearing skirts, mostly long skirts. If those were used with the high bar, wind would easily lift it, so the "womens" bike was invented as a solution to that little problem.
But since the original design is the more optimal one (there are even better ones afaik), you are now in a position where both have to be made because both have their *practical* use. It has nothing to do with gender or sex, not really. It has everything to do with clothing, structure and practicality. They could've named it the T and Y bike just as well and maybe people would complain less, but that shouldn't really matter if it's the same product anyway.
Besides, as the guy said, if you choose the right frame and seat and you should have no problem -
@12bitfloat Yeah, I think what people don't seem to understand that "diversity" is not good if it's massive. If you allow all people somewhere and you get a noise of 11 billion opinions you're not really getting anything of value anymore... In fact it seems diversity is erased the more people are involved...
Humans really seem to work best in simulated villages and small communities. Even your typical "hate crimes" break down in those sizes. No one cares who you are or what you do if everyone knows each other closely. Sure you will get temporary xenophobia with new additions, especially if those new additions are too different from your group (which is why lurking used to be a thing on the internet) but unless the community grows beyond some critical mass it's likely to end up stable -
This rings so true, and extends to all aspects of life in my experience

You're right, we should probably make a new language! Let's call it Fart!
But in all seriousness, I don't mind Dart. It's decently powerful and easy to work with, though I do hate the infinite nested structures of Flutter in general. Dart is otherwise just "ok" as a language. I'd prefer building my phone apps with a more common language that's not javascript -
Im not, not 95% of the time

Dunno, this stuff is just intuitive to me. The moment you ask me what "result" is my eyes immediatelly just snap to all references to "result" and the first thing I notice is result = result*2
So I immediatelly understand that the result is some sort of X * 2^N... I don't know the result until I analyze rest or the code and initial conditions but I know straight up it aint gonna be 20 when the loop has more than one iterations.
And I was never really good at math, but I'm naturally good at logic and was good at it in uni too.
Not sure that helps you though -
Just because someone is rich doesn't mean they are better at predicting the future

@Lensflare Yeah, but I can't really give up on truth lest I want to live in a world of lies :D
Besides, me and some other folk are calling these systems VI rather than AI. The term comes from the Mass Effect games and really fits well here. Stands for Virtual Intelligence and the description goes like this:
```
A Virtual Intelligence (VI) is a sophisticated program designed to make modern computer systems easier to use. They are not to be confused with artificial intelligences like the geth, as VIs are only utilised to assist the user and process data. Though they appear to be intelligent, they aren't actually self-aware, just made with clever programming. This greatly reduces the risk of a VI exceeding the bounds of its intended function or rebelling against the control of its creators and users, though it doesn't eliminate it.
```
Bioware defined this shit in 2007 -
Cool, when are we getting AI? So far I only see language models
-
@YourMom yeah but this is not a new take. Some people actually think that. This just makes ppl fight over it. Cheap bait is kinda sadistic when you think about it
-
Cheap bait
-
I mean, there's a also the idea that you should be a little bit afraid of just yelling random shit out-loud. Human are social creatures and whether you live in a democracy or not has little to do with what your social environment is like. In fact I think the reverse is also kinda true, and the people randomly shouting their "popular" opinion were probably never punched in the face before either.

One rule: never drink alone.
That single rule can protect you and make you realize when you start having a real problem. -
@whimsical I just wanted to start a new Svelte+Vite project with a basic dashboard. I provided a detailed description and said to only focus on the frontend part and not even worry about any logic yet. The files looked fine, but the packages it used were busted, one outright didn't exist, another broke the entire deployment and not even fresh reinstall helped. Giving the errors to gpt5 just resulted in it recommending the same solutions over an over, none of them worked.
I gave up on even trying any of the assembly stuff I wanted to test with it.
For what It's worth, the code itself looked fine, but I never got to run it because of It's dependencies.
Claude does this better, though even cloude starts screwing up projects once they grow to a few thousand lines l and couple of files.
Not impressed overall -
For me it still doesn't do the things it didn't know how to do previously. So no big update
-
Oh lol, yeah, I hate that too xD
-
Don't worry, Chat GPT5 can't replace you in treating women like shit, your job is safe
-
You also need to format as FAT32 and mark the partition as bootable. And if It's EFI I think there's another special thing to do according to the spec, not all mobos follow the spec but some do. Can't remember what it was

It's not always about selling data. It's also a common method to reduce spam and bots.

Junior/Medior/Senior is a function or experience, attitude, apparence and performance.
Im not sure what the function looks like exactly, but you can identify anyone as any of those based on those 4 attributes.
Someone can actually have the years to X someone can actually have the mindset of X
Someone can act as if they know X
Someone can show the actual results for X
Companies boil it down as years of experience because It's the simplest to quantify and there is some* correlation. But as a dev looking for work you also apply to the levels where you feel comfortable in (usually the level is mentioned in the posting) so you also grade yourself to an extent... Lastly the interview processe will do some basic screening, but not everyone will tell you if you're over-qualified so It's a bit unfair.
That's where the system mostly reached equilibrium because there's no much more you can do without probing human brains. -
The people that though emoji-yellow is chinese are the same people that though git-master is a racial slur. But oh well
-
I'm not a fan of windows and microsoft, but you really can't blame the build quality on them can you? Unless it was a surface laptop
-
Yeah, hash is about as reversible as recovering X from
X % 3 = 2
recover X....
You can use attacks on some weaknesses and dictionary comparisons if you know the data is at least actual language (or some other known final form) but that's about it -
Remember, we want AI to automate the creative tasks, so we can finally do laundry! Or something like that :)
-
@kiki the entire toolset and standard libs to compile and run C# stuff. Microsoft created a version for linux (I suppose to compete with java) and it works, but whenever you update it using a package manager it pulls like 1GB+ of files... Not to mention mono itself is huge.
-
@jestdotty pretty much. Have you ever tried to use Mono on linux?! Worst tooling and package repo I ever seen. It has microsoft written all over It's slow downloads and abusive storage usage. :D
And this is obviously not limited to MS, but It's funny that they happen to be part of the bloat problem on linux eco too somehow -
@SidTheITGuy yeah, the money was grabbed and the people were scammed, so the "experts" left. The greatest of these grifters being fucking Sam Altman, who will, no doubt, mention how they already achieved AGI for the nth time and release yet another identical model.
Truly, anyone can act like an "expert" these days -_- -
The fact that alpine doesn't inherit the issue you mention proves that the problem isn't core linux, but the individual applications that distros package. The core is solid as fuck
