Many thanks!! I’m just trying to make a silly script to plot how often I comment on lemmy over time :)

Thank you so much!!!

But what about using a gun to kill someone?

That’s actually a good point I had never considered! In a way you could consider that “negative numbers are imaginary as well”

This was one of the points of contention with the quantum revolution of the beginning of the 1900’s, schrödinger came up with the equation, which fitted like a glove for a lot of scenarios, but it had an imaginary component, which baffled a lot of people since it could imply reality uses such numbers at a fundamental level

We owe “quatties” to hamilton, but there is a generalization of the process in case you’re curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayley–Dickson_construction

Fucking pathethic, just admit you’re all wrong, they even made a bullshit-number-generator to keep making up new stupid-useless-made-up-numbers that serve no purpose at all in any discipline of science, it’s disgusting

I partially disagree, the average developer at google is very competent, yet, their work pipelines must be so long and complex that such talent gets somewhat diluted

🥺 I feel sad when I see lemmy’s dwindling numbers…

But actually, You can just replace that line with piss = None, assigning piss = piss() does not invoke the former method when writing the new variable “standalone”

I bet this was in the original draft of the PEP-8 hahah

Now that I think about it, you can just write piss and it counts as writing a variable but not assigning it 🙃 (after having assigned piss at the beginning of the code!)

Omgggg 🥺🥺🥺, I can’t believe their teeth get to crooked when they grow up xd

Welcome!!

Mhm, yeah, I guess

I get that point! But imagine “ancient youtube history videos” like “chocolate rain” were hosted on an old and unstable peertube node. I would find it sad that a decentralized infrastructure erased old and historic eras of the internet. I’m not saying this just defeats the whole fediverse, I just find it a point of concern, I’m sure if it is really a problem the developers and community will find approaches to mitigate it!

(Btw, I’m not yet well informed about all the caveats/tradeoffs/unwritten rules of lemmy/mastodon/peertube when it comes to data storage, so maybe what I’m saying just doesn’t make sense at all, correct me if I’m wrong!!)

Oof, that might be a solid roadblock limiting peertube/fediverse. Decentralization sounds great as a greediness deterrence system, but it also feels like lesser nodes will be more prone to stop maintenance over many years, making decentralize content more fragile than centralized. I wonder if a way to counterattack this is via enabling posts mirroring and content transfer among fediverse instances… 🤔

I didn’t know about this, thanks for the heads up!! But, with this decentralized approach, if a peertube node “dies”, could those videos be saved in a different node? I guess one of my biggest concerns with the fediverse is that fragmenting the network might also lead to fragility of content

In the case of a decentralized youtube, who would be responsible for the data storage?
