Our public TV has no midroll ads, only between programs, and I’m so happy I can use a guide and usually find something to watch when eating and get no ads. But I’m also watching the endless reruns of a series I like, so that’s also not difficult to get.
This feels like surreal memes before they turned into almost entirely misspellings and other repeat jokes.
Overproduce to cover everybody’s needs, and if you want to use that overproduction to cover somebody else’s problems, make that the new target and produce over it to keep a safety margin. Otherwise you’re just going to hide the problem and run into trouble when production dips.
Not saying this is the right approach, but this is the idea I’m getting from the thread. I feel like it might not work with the economics of supply and demand combined with capitalistic greed, but if a margin exists as safety, allocating it removes that safety.
I think the point is that if you do that, then you’re just increasing the amount of people in the equation, and if they become dependent on you and the production drops, somebody will be lacking food again.
I think the main pain would be manually aligning the frames on every line with every change, occasionally having to extend the width and updating every line of code to match it
Getting a bit ahead of yourself, we’re only on 3070 so far!
I will point out, I don’t think “peer review” means repeating the test, it means more generally pointing out issues with the science, right? By that definition, sounds like that’s what they’re doing. That doesn’t make the criticisms inherently valid, but to dismiss it as “they’re free to do their own tests” because “that is how science works” seems dishonest.
Funnily enough, I’ve seen opinions that Windows has awful HDR handling and Plasma is much better, but I don’t have a proper HDR display to check. I’ve also had some success with VR, though I haven’t played much on Linux. That said, support from software for those things for Linux is still widely lacking, so it’s not much consolation.
So like telling people to ride a bike, or use public transport, with the obstacle being that the city is built with car-friendly infrastructure that’s hostile to pedestrians and bikes? Yeah, sounds like an analogy alright ;D
big words from the DSM
Ah yes, the big word derived from the mythical Narcissus, who we learned about in school… If anything, the issue seems to be the opposite, where the word is too widely known and used without knowing the overlapping medical term.
I think it might still be dropping executables in .config, stuff like the JDK or even its own software versions
Context doesn’t matter because ultimately it’s directed at somebody and telling them to kill themselves. I don’t think he actually wanted that to happen, but he said it. It doesn’t make him a villain, but it’s something that shouldn’t happen.
In general, almost everything you install with pacman will update when you do pacman -Syu (and restart, in case of kernel updates). The way packages work, all the files needed for a piece of software to function are installed from a package, and when you install a newer version, it removes all the files from the old version and puts in new ones. (Caveats apply to configuration files you can modify - those don’t get replaced if you do)
So after you update some software through pacman, it should be in an entirely clean state, just like if you just installed it. The main caveats apply to things like flatpak, which manage its own packages, and software like Steam and Discord, which have an additional auto-updater for some things that’s storing files separately.
I think they were trying to make a 0-indexed list and fucked up the markdown, so install is just step 0.
I don’t think I’d agree about it being negligible, but I think that’s ultimately subjective, so fair enough. I get the impression a lot of Bun’s own library are nicer to use equivalents of libraries present in Node, but I think even that is significant for anybody looking to write new code.
By your logic, Bun has no right to exist because it only supports Node.js APIs and doesn’t have its own APIs
I don’t know much on the topic, but I know I used Bun a bit for some scripts, and it most certainly does have its own APIs, so that’s incorrect.
I think that’s something Apple does, actually, where apps give explanations for every permission they ask for. No idea about allowing them later or if they state if they’re necessary though.
I don’t use a foldable phone… But you can’t put a tablet into your pocket. It’s meant to be the dimensions of a phone, just much thicker, so it fits into your pocket, while letting you fold it out to have double the screen size. For all the issues they have, that’s a very reasonable and somewhat appealing feature.
Pretty sure what you’re describing isn’t floating-point numbers, but fixed-point numbers… Which would also work just as well or better in most cases where floats are used.
Not when taken to such an extreme so as to obfuscate the meaning and behavior of code, and make it difficult to understand how you would arrive at that code.
Sane defaults serve to reduce verbosity without obfuscating meaning, simpler syntax with different ordering and fewer tokens reduce verbosity to make the code easier to read by reducing the amount of text you have to pay attention to to understand what the result is.
I imagine there’s also a distinction to be made between verbosity and redundancy - sometimes extra text might fail to carry information, or carry information that’s already carried elsewhere. I’m not sure where the line should be drawn, because sometimes duplicate information can be helpful, and spacing out information with technically meaningless text has value for readability, but I feel like it’s there.
