yes, eventually the OS gets reinstalled or I switch computers and i don't do backups so every few years they get purged unread for the most part.

my instance doesn't even have downvotes, couldn't downvote a shitty take even if i wanted to. Which I don't because who cares? If they bother you why not switch to an instance where you can't see em or turn them off in the interface?

when it comes to banging shit out, when you need more juice than bash, perl was capable of some crazy shit. I found it really frustrating trying to learn real programming because I was taught perl extremely thoroughly and for most other languages programming exercises you have to get 3/4ths of the way through the book before you're beyomd what perl can do in a couple of lines.

I eventually learned proper oo programming and compiler languages but there were a few years in the late 90's and the CGI-BIN days where a solid grasp of perl made you feel like a real hacker-ma'am.

As an example I give you the 'flip flop operator', (no idea if perl was the first language to incorporate this, but i saw it there first) which would allow you to parse any data stream, and execute a code block on every line in the data stream between two matching regexes. Absolutely invaluable for screen scraping and would let you hit a URL and extract just the data you needed with about 4 lines of code total, including the library call for the get!

that's the definition of the Turing Test though... what would you say it means if not that? GPT-4 was able to pass it last year.

Since it's based on what a human thinks about the conversation the bar isn't very high.

the article, that you posted, discusses combining the batteries for larger applications.

about a tablespoon of each for full batch like that. The espresso is freshly ground. I think i may have added cayenne and onion powder too.

made this dish just yesterday for my meat munchers with roasted pork leftovers, peppers and cumin/smoked paprika/rosemary/msg/espresso/sugar/garlic powder

if you use an instant pot you don't need to soak the beans just high pressure for an hour gets it done. I pop it into the oven for a couple hours to get the maillard reaction flavoring anyway though. Didn't do any mashing on this batch as well, by request. a family favorite for sure i do this weekly!
