And even then it was cheaper than this. Shit even when the phone number to get the current time connected you to a live operator to read it to you off a wall clock it was cheaper than doing this. This is such a solved problem, it is one of the solved problems of all time

Brother it is hard to overstate how much it is completely free to ask the computer for the current time. Your friendly National Institute of Standards and Technology has even set up NTP servers for you so you can do this with a great deal of precision, at zero cost. What are we doing man

It just had a major release like a few weeks ago. It's still around!

The legacy Rails app I'm in charge of is absolutely riddled with it lol

Yep, just need to implement an extremely basic caching mechanism, and I already have a perfect place to invalidate it

tfw when this template actually gets called every frame, and takes about 80ms to run for each call, grinding the whole UI to a halt

It's fine, it's fine, I can fix this

Just discovered by accident: you can just leave the shebang in there and it gets stripped out of the pkgs.writeShellApplication derivation. So it already works _almost_ exactly how I want, except the shebang packages and runtimeInputs don't sync automatically. I can live with that!

JE: Elon, any interest in stopping by for a “little” party favor later

Elon: Sorry too busy. Could only make time for overt pedophilia haha

8. Weiss's project is creating an Operation Paperclip for Epstein's cronies. Taking a group of discredited men and rehabilitating them as necessary pillars of system. Dershowitz and Peter Attia are the Wernher von Brauns of reactionary centrism.

Like a wrapper command that can get the runtime dependencies from the writeShellApplication options and generate the equivalent shebang...hmm

For sure, but the Nix shell shebang is so damn good for writing them initially. Kinda makes me wonder if there's a way to kind of do both, like I already have a writeShellApplication script I want to hack on but iterate rapidly without re-evaluating, and without copying it somewhere else...

This post taught me this trick, and I've been using it all day. It's absolutely perfect for working on a script that I'm eventually going to wrap with `pkgs.writeShellApplication`. I can call my script from the comfort of my usual `fish` shell, dependencies contained, without re-evaluating the flake

Are we not all sick of the people who won't even do anything to curb endless unsolicited scam calls just sitting right beside those with their own incessant, begging text spam?

That's exactly right

(placing this here before anyone makes a `jo` joke)

Really hope Stack Overflow stays online in one form or another. For all its faults, it is a massive, incredibly valuable store of _vetted_ information from expert humans, and it still helps me with shit like every single day

100% of the AI industry that isn't one of those 3 companies is literally just a script that pre-formats a prompt and another script that retries it against the API until it gets the desired structured output. You too can launch an AI startup with a smattering of Bash

3 companies which light unimaginable amounts of money on fire per minute they spend operating these services
