Lemmy.ml seems to have a clone of most of the “top reddits”, somehow the most subscribed communities out there, and all dominated by one or two posters who post pro-China/pro-DPRK/anti-Western content all day long.

It definitely is going to confuse newcomers and make a bad first impression. I wonder if they auto subscribe people to those so their propaganda ends up at the top of the communities list.

Part of the solution is to better inform new users the part of the community name is the host, just like Main St in one city is different from Main St in another city. You choose the city you want to live in first.

But, it may also be interesting to have the ability for admins to selectively merge like-named communities with other agreeable instance admins, and count subscribers to both as one group.

Visual Studio Code with a jq plugin maybe

sorry bro, you will have to either buy new one or buy connectors and attach them on the cable.

also, if the braided coax shield was inside of the knurled sleeve on the tail of the connector, then these were assembled completely wrong. Don’t buy from that vendor again.

Evaporative cooling.

When it gets hot and humid enough for that to stop working well (which we’re ratcheting toward in more places), animals and people will die.

There’s a reason Death Valley is named that.

if you have that, there’s probably location data and signin/unlock events that would tell a more compelling story. Especially if you use biometric unlock.

punishing everyone for the crimes of a few is intolerable in many free societies

Right, communist countries have much more freedom! And anarchist countries exist!

yeah, that’s all good until your pwned pirate PC roots your router and printer and baby monitor, and your LAN becomes a DDoS source.

It’s a single counterexample. there are many, many such libraries for C and the programmer does not have to roll their own.

OK, think of all the other C collection libraries there must be out there!

The C programmer will need to either roll his own, which may not be an option if time Is limited, or choose a lower-performance alternative.

What are you talking about? https://docs.gtk.org/glib/data-structures.html

The thought of going through all of my storage boxes to catalog hundreds or thousands of items so that I might search for them one day via a web UI seems a lot less productive than simply knowing that old USB supplies are in the “USB junk” box and Christmas decorations are in the “Christmas decorations” box

Because CRTs (and maybe other displays) are slaved to the input and insensitive to exact timing, and console chipset designers used convenient line counts/clock frequencies, consoles often have frame rates slightly different from standard NTSC (which is 60000/1001 or ~59.94 fields per second).

The 262 AND A HALF lines per field NTSC uses to get the dumb oscillator in a CRT to produce interlacing, is not convenient. “240p” moves the VSYNC pulse, shortening the frame duration.

So NES’s run at -60.1 FPS.

You’ve mistaken facts for opinions.

Facts come from correlation of independent observations.

You built a spambot?

The things the author mentioned drive me nuts about visual studio…. Especially trivial completions, like brace pairing, their thirst to add these newb-crutches leads me to backspacing and retyping over and over again, trying to figure out what the editor did that I didn’t even notice and how to undo it. For something that is literally a 20ms muscle memory action for any experienced programmer.

buy 3 or 4 more pairs as soon as you realize the fit perfectly.

not necessarily, just as interpreting assembly to understand intent is harder than interpreting “resultRows.map(r -> r.firstName)”, additional structure/grammar/semantics are footholds that allow the model to form patterns at a higher level of abstraction

It’s not pure once it starts dissolving or corroding the metal or other materials.

And, if you can sufficiently dry the item (including inside of things), pure water is not a threat to electronics; it’s often used to clean solder flux.

it seems like they usually use it as a farcical example of “someone who thinks they’re smart”.
