The immigration rhetoric is largely kayfabe.

I think it’s the same with the tariffs. In fact, I think it’s the same with everything he promises. He’ll do a token amount of each horrible thing before he gets bored of it or it becomes obviously impractical (see: wall building).

Mostly he’ll just make everything slightly worse and do a lot of corruption for him and his friends. Just a little light kleptocracy.

Why would there be one answer to this? I’d probably use all the available levels depending on the situation, in the same way I’d use --word-diff or -b in git when I need help understanding a complex change.

Something which notifies you whenever a new comment or reply is made to a selected post/comment, so that you can keep track of any new conversation.

Something like this would be awesome as a core Lemmy feature IMO. It would essentially turn a post (or maybe any comment tree?) into a matrix style room. Lemmy is actually decent for long term discussion (e.g. helping someone with a problem), but not if there are more than two people involved.

Hi, This is a high priority ticket and the FFmpeg version is currently used in a highly visible product in Microsoft. We have customers experience issues with Caption during Teams Live Event. Please help,

Use -data_field first as decoder option in CLI. Default value was changed from first to auto in latest FFmpeg version. Or modify AVOption of same name in API for this decoder.

Thanks @Elon for the reply, This is the command we are currently using: ffmpeg.exe -f lavfi -i movie=flvdecoder_input223.flv[out+subcc] -y -map 0:1 ./output_p.srt

I will be looking to see any updates in the FFmpeg documentation. Can you please elaborate and provide pointers the right decoding options or the right FF command er can use. Thank you!

ffmpeg.exe -data_field first -f lavfi -i movie=flvdecoder_input223.flv[out+subcc] -y -map 0:1 ./output_p.srt

Got that’s fucking brutal. This isn’t even asking them to fix a bug, it’s just basic help-desk shit.

I’m sure Microsoft has some good devs that are a net benefit to the open source projects they use, but this is not one of them.

I feel like node’s async model makes it really easy to cause a bug like this, and really difficult to track it down.

It was left to the OS to catch the leak, because the program was written in such a way that it was able to run a gazillion of these tasks concurrently.

It is a slow, steady progression, with CROOKED, Radical Left Politicians, Prosecutors, and Judges leading us down a path to destruction. Open Borders, Rigged Elections, and Grossly Unfair Courtroom Decisions are DESTROYING AMERICA. WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE, A FAILING NATION! MAGA2024

I think this is the most correct Trump has ever been. You just have to make a couple of small edits, and completely disregard his intended targets.

The most recent “security advisory” was released despite the fact that the particular bug in the experimental HTTP/3 code is expected to be fixed as a normal bug as per the existing security policy, and all the developers, including me, agree on this.

And, while the particular action isn’t exactly very bad, the approach in general is quite problematic.

I read something about this the other day, but I’m having trouble wrapping my head around it.

This seems to have the best discussion I’ve found:

Nix does something like this with the protocol specifier: e.g. git+https://...

I’m not sure what name means here exactly, but it might make sense to treat that separately, like git remotes:

tool add [name] git+https://foo

The whole thing is built around pulling binary packages from servers, and there’s no consistent way of building those things from source.

It’s extremely difficult to package anything non-trivial without referencing those binary blobs.

They had to build this whole custom thing (https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet) just to make the SDK itself buildable from source, and most releases still have some binary dependencies. They only did it for the SDK so it could be packaged in Debian, etc.

This is my favourite list in here, but I’d throw a Lisp in too.

Lisp, Haskell, and Rust should all teach you something new and profound about programming.

All the core parts of dotnet (e.g. roslyn) seem to be built that way. I find them very frustrating to work on. Between that and the whole nuget thing being somewhat FOSS unfriendly, I’d steer people away from C#.

Even if you can get past whatever VM detection they currently do, that’ll only work until they require remote attestation.

Haha, yeah, I didn’t mean literally telling them that. More like giving them a text field that can only contain unicode characters, which is pretty standard.

It’s all reasonable stuff except maybe:

People’s names are all mapped in Unicode code points.

I don’t see how you could avoid this this in software that needs to ask the user their name.

I think it’s definitely a good idea to avoid using names wherever possible, and definitely don’t try to do anything clever with them.

When necessary, software can just be clear:

• “in unicode, what should I call you?”
• "in unicode, who is making this credit card transaction?’

“cons cunt” is just Aussie slang for Lisp Programmer.

Look how clunky it is to add support on a collection. Take the example here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/collection-expressions#collection-builder

It involves adding a new builder class, and they actually have to reference the function by string name.

It’s actually making me even more angry now that I look at it in detail.

We really need open source language servers (for me to use in Emacs).

To me it’s not a cost problem, it’s just too important a tool for me to be unable to fix it when it breaks.

I’ve spent too much of my life suffering with problems in proprietary software (shout out to windows and visual studio especially) that I can’t realistically investigate, let alone fix.

I’m sure a lot of work went into this, but it seems crazy that we need another way to initialise collections, and another way to make fixed sized arrays.

I just want less boilerplate.

That’s not really the same thing because ‘alt.tv’ doesn’t aggregate everything under it. Let alone the other relationships they describe (e.g. biochemistry).

Gap is a very generous alternative to: flaw, vulnerability, etc.
