You know what’s funny, the two clients that don’t support your dropdown/spoiler for anti-commercial licences were commercial closed-source Lemmy clients.

I say sod them and go back to your dropdown.

Look up “Stanford marshmallow experiment”.

Me in the late 90s: CSS is not a language!

Today: Holy crap, it’s now Turing-complete.

“It’s a deck of playing cards. How much more fun can it be, compared to the 50+ other solitaire games? And why would I want to play poker by myself?”

So I got a bit of money leftover after bills, and decided to get it anyway cause I haven’t played anything fun this year. Went in blind without reading or watching any reviews.

Turns out it’s NOT just your standard deck of playing cards. You can do all sorts of crazy things to your deck. Like playing illegal hands such as five-of-a-kind, or a flush house. It’s a lot of fun.

Obligatory link to the Rustonomicon.

Should you wish a long and happy career of writing Rust programs, you should turn back now and forget you ever saw this book.

all work in floats

We even have float16 / float8 now for low-accuracy hi-throughput work.

But then people will see how many bugs your code actually has, and how you actually can’t be bothered fixing any of them!

I hate how soy has been used by bigots as an insult. Soy products are bloody delicious!

Go wash your mouth with some SOAP.

That’s… two posts

Three, actually. While I agree with you, it is still arguably the number one company that annoys people on that list ʘ‿ʘ

I don’t know where you are, but painter’s tape (or masking tape) comes in all sorts of colours. Including white.

The way I normally do it is the following. Strip the sleeve further back than you need (say, an inch). Untwist the 8 cores and separate them.

Arrange them in the right order (the extra length makes this easy) Flatten, pack them together, and pinch with your thumb and forefinger near the base.

Without letting go of the pinch, use your free hand to cut them to the correct length. Now that you have them flat between your fingers in the right order, it should be pretty straightforward to slide them into the connector.

Bonus: they also work great on Android!

Or think of it as “convenience fee” for the people who can’t use F-Droid.

If my friend, who thinks I’m IT support since I majored computer science, asks me which tracker they should use - I would just tell them to pay the $4 for OpenTracks.

Ah, a fellow janitorial staff. Some of these shit have been there so long they’ve seeped through the walls. There’s no way to get rid of them, short of demolishing the whole building.

I was kinda hoping you were gonna finish that first sentence with “in a java applet”. Cause that would’ve been awesome.

Oh that’s not uncommon in the industry. Especially when dealing with legacy code.

Personal best was 40k lines in a file called misc.c containing all the global functions that don’t fit anywhere else.

Runner up was the one where each developer dumped their miscellaneous functions in their own files, so they don’t have to deal with merge conflicts. Which means we had x1.c, x2.c, x3.c … etc.

Reddit has made it clear they don’t care at all. The amount of lying and gaslighting is sickening.
