Top level domain. “.com” “.gov” etc. are top level domains. The headline is slightly incorrect.

No, only top level comments specifically.

One thing I see a lot of instance specific meta communities that only allow top level comments from users if that instance. Auto removing those form other instances would be useful.

No, it’s impossible. The tech just isn’t there yet. We need AGI to be able to detect a string.

I can’t believe they fumbled their reputation so bad lol

Modern touch screens work well enough to not really require styluses to feel good though. So modern styluses feeling annoying isn’t as big of an issue for most uses.

Not really, there’s sort of two types of multiverses. There are multiverses where the universes are separate but similar things and multiverses where branching timelines create new universes (and disgustingly ones that intermingle the two and muddy the concepts). If you’re writing about a specific universe in a multiverse that doesn’t strictly use the timeline branching model and you change things then you’re no longer “canon”.

Big quotes around canon because obviously fan made stuff isn’t canon, I just mean in the shower thought sense.

You’ve been able to mock concrete classes in Java for like a decade or so, probably longer. As long as I can remember at least. Using Mockito it’s super easy.

I’m making a separate comment for this, but people saying “Liskov substitution principle” instead of “Behavioral subtyping” generally seem more interested in finding a set of rules to follow rather than exploring what makes those rules useful. (Context, the L in solid is “Liskov substitution principle.”) Barbra Liskov herself has said that the proper name for it would be behavioral subtyping.

In an interview in 2016, Liskov herself explains that what she presented in her keynote address was an “informal rule”, that Jeannette Wing later proposed that they “try to figure out precisely what this means”, which led to their joint publication [A behavioral notion of subtyping], and indeed that “technically, it’s called behavioral subtyping”.[5] During the interview, she does not use substitution terminology to discuss the concepts.

You can watch the video interview here. It’s less than five minutes. https://youtu.be/-Z-17h3jG0A

YAGNI ("you aren’t/ain’t gonna need it) is my response to making an interface for every single class. If and when we need one, we can extract an interface out. An exception to this is if I’m writing code that another team will use (as opposed to a web API) but like 99% of code I write only my team ever uses and doesn’t have any down stream dependencies.

I’m not paying for a search engine. Duck Duck Go for everyday usage. Yandex when I’m looking for media.

In the US right now, we’re seeing this unfold. With the talk about classifying transgender folks as nihilistic violent extremists, who fucking knows.

Yep. Shutting down the API was 100% because they were angry they got scraped and didn’t get money.

Or, another annoying one, you find a thread, solve it yourself, and can’t post because the thread is locked for whatever dumb reason. You make a new thread and it never gets traffic from search engines. Only the old one. So nobody ever solves the problem because some mod is worried about necroing, oh the horror.

“Robot, parse this statement, ‘this sentence is false’.” The robot explodes because it cannot understand a logical contradiction.

I swear, that’s what this argument sounds like to me. Also, I’m genuinely confused why people don’t think that, if we can simulate randomness with computers in our world with pseudo random number generators, why a higher reality wouldn’t be able to simulate what we view as true randomness with a pseudo random number generator or some other device we cannot even begin to comprehend.

Either this paper is bullshit or they’re talking about some sort of very specific thing that all these articles are blowing out of proportion.

I don’t believe we are in a simulation but I don’t believe this paper disproves it. Just like I don’t believe in god but I don’t believe the question “can god make a rock so big he can’t pick it up?” disproves god.

Cats have spines but are bendy… Hmmm…

This post is very rambley and I really don’t understand what you’re asking. If you mean things like basic life skills like laundry and stuff with money then there’s too many to list in a Lemmy comment in a succinct way. At times it sounds like you’re describing escaping an alt-right incel pipeline; if that’s the case then yeah, it’s still sort of difficult to answer “what you should have been taught” in a succinct way, and I don’t wanna assume that’s what you meant because it seems rude. I could be cheeky and say you should have learned to ask questions better, but that is really mean given the context that you seem to be going through a very tough time.

I’ll say this. You mentioned being in your late 20s. I’m 33 now. I remember through my 20s I consistently didn’t feel like an adult. I distinctly remember the first time I felt like an adult was when I was 28 years old. I don’t remember why, but I remember the thought entering my head again and I finally sort of thought, yeah, I feel like a real adult.

Your 20s are an odd time because you’re legally an adult and might even be living on your home but inevitably you’ll always have gaps in your experience with various things as a teenager as well as not having experienced many things adults consider to be universal adult experiences just yet. Know that a lot of people in their 20s feel this way even if they’re better at hiding it.

I left cobwebs up for my Halloween party and one of them even caught a hornet in it. Thank you spiders! Very cool!
