@gedeonm@mastodon.social Maybe the 1812 DRD from Farscape too? The Henson Company definitely knows how to give a roomba a lot of personality

@jplatte@social.tchncs.de Do you think the default should actually be evaluated in a const context at build time (and then... cloned on every invocation)? Should it be a thunk that gets called at function call time? Something else? Does the answer change for const fn versus fn? What is in scope when it's evaluated?

Replying to @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange
@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange I've been trying to pitch this at work since I started -- everyone else uses LLM generated cover art for the company blog (even though the text is all human-written) and I just make mine in Inkscape; nobody believes me that potential readers will be turned off by the obvious AI slop. One of my hopes for 2026 is that Business Thought Leaders realize that slop is a turn-off.

@chockenberry@mastodon.social Stripe + Radar is more than 30% of a $0.99 transaction though (specifically, 35¢). I wonder what the average txn size is on the App Store?
