read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

But where’s the cat?

Twitter exchange in which a user makes fun of Musk for not understanding how SQL works and falsely claiming the government doesn't use SQL

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

We are not going to know when this makes the human to human leap. I am moving accordingly, and so should you.

Good morning! Here’s a kitty.

Much better

I just completed "Bridge Repair" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/7

Had a late (early?) start, and for the second part early optimization was quite a problem. Should refactor to improve performance. github.com/codehead/adv...

Justo discutíamos en un ticket de traducción si debería ser “repost”, “republicar”, “re-publicar”, o algo más. “Volver a publicar” es demasiado largo.

Become ungovernable.

Done!

I managed to improve the performance of the second puzzle by almost 75% just by placing blocks along the guard's path, but surely we can still do better.

A whimsical Christmas card design featuring a cozy living room scene. In the center, a fluffy cat wearing a Santa hat is playfully tangled in colorful Christmas lights. Surrounding the cat are cheerful holiday decorations, including a beautifully decorated tree, stockings hung by the fireplace, and a few playful kittens peeking out from under the tree. Snow gently falls outside the window, creating a warm, festive atmosphere. The text at the top reads, "Merry Christmas Uncle Jim!" in playful, bold letters.

On the sixth day of the #Perl Advent Calendar 2024, Lincoln D. Stein (LDS) leans on OpenAI::API to generate heartwarming Christmas cards, extending the stock image generator and creating AI-generated AI prompts (yes, you read that right). VERY cool!

For the second part my initial approach detected only the edge case where the loop completes on the next step. Went for a brute-force solution, but a decision tree should be MUCH faster.

On the fifth day of the #Perl Advent Calendar 2024, BDFOY tells us how Santa uses Data::Rx to sort data structures into Naughty and Nice lists, with really neat examples for custom types.
