And not the English, Welsh or Scottish kind. Not even Irish of any kind.

edit: in case someone is going to freak out about this, because I know that's likely: “I’m not. I’m a Tamil and there are people dying in my country and you have to like look at it because you’re fucking Oprah and every American told me you’re going to save the world.” - source

Neither are all the illegals in the USA, but whooo boy, will Lemmy have an aneurysm if you would say that out loud!

is it elitist to expect the majority of your population to be able to run a 6 minute mile?

Statistics says yes: https://runninglevel.com/running-times/1-mile-times

Long numbers short: You have to be in the top 20% to be able to run a 6-minute mile, if you somewhat regularly run.

Yes, PLEASE self-segregate yourself!

Canonical should have a look at https://antithesis.com/ - They'll basically run your application in a deterministic VM, where hardware errors are simulated, so you can re-play certain scenarios, not just the happy-path. It should be able to surface bugs way faster than just running into them.

Deterministic simulation testing is what they should be doing.

I used it back at version 0.0.23 (around September 2025), and I just noticed I burned through a LOT of tokens, with relatively little work being done.

SOTA (state of the art) LLMs are now smart enough you can just ask it to track ADRs (Architect Decision Records - track why you did the things you did, architecture-wise).

I don't see much worth in them any more, unless you're using a local model that would still need speckit as a framework.

Good, I'd pay my "eigen risico" of a few hundred EUR - presuming I didn't already spend it before then - but it's slowly getting worse due to mass-migration (3x the historic percentage-points of the total population; that's over 100k added on a population of 18 mil, even when that should be closer to 30k instead, historically speaking).

I'm a sucker for GitJournal because it's just a git repo, and the files are just text/markdown. Whenever you make an edit, it'll autocommit for you - no commit message, but you at least have a history of changes.

And I can just git pull the repo onto my desktop. It's simple, robust, and I love it!

Sir, this is the internet - home of autism. We will take a joke, and take it to wherever we want.

“Calling women fake gamers, larpers, attention-seekers, or outsiders for visibly enjoying games is gatekeeping. It turns a hobby into a status boundary and makes gaming spaces worse.”

That's the point I got from GPT-5.5.

I disagree with the conclusion - I don't think gate-keeping is bad. I used to think it wasn't, but I see a lack of gate-keeping spaces, on both a local and national level, as the cause of certain issues. Go create your own damn hobbies with sparkle-ponies and hot-Antonio-Banderas lookalikes. Just leave mine alone.

There are sex differences in social behaviour, and gaming has historically been a male-coded status space. So when women enter that space, especially visibly, some men interpret it through suspicion: attention-seeking, trend-following, or identity performance.
