I’m dead 😭 (and it just gets better from there)

A-10 Tank Killer was the bomb.

TLDR: 3.11 is twice as fast as 3.10 at doing global name lookups, so an old speedup hack of aliasing a global function locally isn’t needed.

For example, when calling len() in a loop, going l=len, and calling l() in the loop was faster in 3.10. In 3.11, moreso in 3.13, it’s almost a wash.

However, the author says this:

Accessing functions through a module [e.g. math.sin()] or a deep attribute chain can still carry overhead. Creating a local alias or using “from module import name” continues to be effective in those situations.

But when I look at the numbers, I would say 3.13 is pretty close to making it an unnecessary optimization in general. A little subjective on how you interpret the numbers.

Great info, but this was like trying to use a recipe and reading the author’s life story to get there.

Fixed

I hadn’t heard about that, very cool.

No sense crying over spilt milk. Just buy another one! It’s only property.

Makes me think of this Arthur C. Clarke book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendezvous_with_Rama

and is likely to end his career as a hitmaking music executive, fashion entrepreneur, brand ambassador and reality TV star.

About to kick start his career as a politician though.

I’m ootl, what happened to Nova? I have it on my old phone.

Thanks, I had everything but “pego”.

Episode I is free to play. I haven’t heard of these before but I’m guessing it makes sense to start there: https://store.steampowered.com/app/429470/Space_Pilgrim_Episode_I_Alpha_Centauri/

But he has a budget of no more than $80. How can the dev not do it!!1!?

I bet you’re a double dipper.

It doesn’t say it in this article, but it was triggered by a 15-year-old going for help.

A few red flags. It’s a bible camp, it acts as a “rehab” centre, it has a message on its website in the chin language from Myanmar (interesting for the trafficking part.)

But… Maybe this one isn’t actually that bad?

Haven’t been able to try another device, but it happens with catbox.moe as well as imgur: https://lemmy.ml/post/31389707

When I go to the gifs community on Sh.itjust.works the ones hosted directly seem to work, but the ones on imgur don’t.

I used to have a Dell stick PC that I traveled with to hook up to TV’s in hotels and apartments to stream Netfli, youtube, plex, etc. Worked great for its size and I would hook up a mini wireless mouse and keyboard to control it.

Look up Stick PC or PC on a stick. You can get windows or Linux variants and I imagine you can change the OS if you work at it.

And National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is wrong?

Holy shit that’s the stupidest thing I’ve read all day. It has nothing to do with your petty personal demons. Go educate yourself and/or delete your account on Lemmy.ca.

I really enjoyed Grounded. Never got to the end game, but probably because I didn’t really try. I just had a lot of fun exploring and fighting bugs.
