Yup, I’ve been plagued by this bug for a long time. I’m very excited to use this!

Good point! I wonder if we’re spoiled by computer invention though. Would be interesting to compare preWW2 invention rates and now. I suspect computers just made everything else easier, but now we’re back to hard problems

To be fair, there’s only been 24 year’s of 21 century. Most things you gave listed happened at the end of the 20th century. But also the question is somewhat self negating - we won’t know what’s the greatest invention until we see it working great, but it takes much more than 24 years to take an invention from concept to consumption. For example computational biology is kicking off. Computer aided dna generation started in the past 24 years. But it’s so new few people think about it. Just like no one thought of internet as the greatest invention in the 70s… it was just too new

Alternatives or not, I think it’d be very beneficial to document concept of operation that you want. That way you can either take pieces of these conops and tell lemmy devs what you want, or if you have your own project this will be its conops and you can guide developers towards features you need.

That’s because the full version of that mentality is “Tax me less, don’t use my tax money to subsidize someone else, give that money to my company!” Instead

To be fair even in trek - there’s a world war 3 that’s driven by pure greed before humanity decides it’s enough. And the climax of the greed and that war starts in 2026… so we might be on the course to the utopia … but not before suffering some more.

I agree with everything you said, but also it’d be super interesting to cancel the factory farming subsidies and see whole foods flourish. Theoretically this would raise the cost of burgers and lower the cost of vegetables and other healthy products.
I agree it’ll never happen, but it would probably move US closer to European diets.

Certainly - and there still are those channels that we all love for their dedication. But there are a lot more mediocre channels too

You bring a great point I hadn’t considered before. Only people with passion for something will do it for free while many more people with so that for cash. Though it’s interesting to see that cash doesn’t make passionate people’s content better it just makes more mediocre content.

Gentoo. It makes me feel like I’m in full control of my system.

My friend, let me tell you a story during my studies when I had to help someone find a bug in their 1383-line long main() in C… on the other hand I think Ill spare you from the gruesome details, but it took me 30 hours.

The Test part of TDD isn’t meant to encompass your whole need before developing the application. It’s function-by function based. It also forces you to not have giant functions. Let’s say you’re making a compiler. First you need to parse text. Idk what language structure we are doing yet but first we need to tokenize our steam. You write a test that inputs hello world
into your tokenizer then expects two tokens back. You start implementing your tokenizer. Repeat for parser. Then you realize you need to tokenize numbers too. So you go back and make a token test for numbers.
So you don’t need to make all the tests ahead of time. You just expand at the smallest test possible.

What are you talking about? Modern phones are all just slightly different to be incompatible with what you’re talking about.

I see your edit but in case you’re interested - a capacitor is technically a 0 resistance battery for DC.

I miss the times when different phones had character. Even phones of the same company looked completely different:
Now it’s just the same rectangle stretched different ways and maybe different color sides.

I like the concept of IR blaster but the one I had was in Samsung Galaxy s6 (or 5 don’t remember) and it came paired with a HORRIBLE app that tried to do its darnest to datamine your viewing habits and it’d do push notifications 5 times per day with just crappy ads. I really hate all the ad spam on Samsung phones back then. Idk if that’s still the case

What was that about him doing twitter’s technology policing and leaving running the company to the new CEO?
I'm building 90s themed arcade In my shed... but I still want to keep a little workshop area so I'm splitting my shed into 3 rooms including the attic/upstairs. I've never done construction aside from small things like routing cat6 through the house, so I decided to practice virtually first - I've reconstructed my shed's frame in Blender and added all the lumber that I need to add the second floor. I've also 3d-scanned the current structure and superimposed it in blender so it was a bit easier to see if what I'm doing is sane at all. ![](https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/aeb54077-f7f2-438b-b594-f4ddfcf481fb.webp) Bonus: 3dscan video: ![](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/959535596500582402/1112804657660706966/video.mov) I have a laserdisc collection with a few CRT TVs, Pentium 3 computer with Windows 98, and PlayStation1. I'm also planning on building a few arcade cabinets with emulators.
I want to start a discussion of MIT vs GPL and see what you all think
I had the weirdest of a problem. Two computers communicating with each other over ping and TFTP works. When I boot one of them into U-boot (a bootloader that supports TFTP boot) it can’t ping not load tftp of the other machine complaining on ARP timeouts. I swapped with a dumb switch - all works. Everything else (machines, cables) are the same. The managed switch is a Cisco switch and I have a serial console to it, but I’m not familiar with managing those switches - what feature is potentially blocking u-boot's arp packets? I’ve double checked with tcpdump - the other machine never seer u-boot's arp packets, but does when the same board is booted into Linux. I’ve also checked Cisco's `monitor event-trace arp continuous` and it didn’t print any packets but it did say link status went from up to down to back up when I rebooted. Is there some sort of Mac filter on Cisco switches?
Y’all seem like a bunch of friendly folk. I moved to the research triangle, North Carolina during the pandemic and need to rebuild my social circles. Unfortunately I work from home and have a toddler and an infant so meeting new people in real life has been extra challenging. Anyone in the area here? I’m building a 90s themed arcade in my shed, ask me anything!
Technically New isn’t either but that one makes sense. However what’s considered Active on [!technology@beehaw.org](https://beehaw.org/c/technology) is unattainable on say [!food@beehaw.org](https://beehaw.org/c/food) as a result I see many posts from very active communities and nothing from less active ones. Is there a work-around for that side from going to each of the communities I’m subscribed to? Or is this just a todo for lemmy devs for now?
I googled "missing medieval servant" and it came back "page not found."
Russian propaganda machine was full force in America during the 2016 election and I’m sure it still is quite active to an extent in the states. What’s the general feel for Russian propaganda in Ukraine? Are there many Russian-supporting Ukrainians? Do many of them change opinions once Russia is in their towns? Uhh I should note that I’m quite ignorant on the subject and if my question makes you irritated - I’m sorry I don’t mean to start anything.
https://github.com/angr/angr Uses a Concolic execution engine where it can switch from running a binary concretely, break, and then define an unknown input and find what should I be to trigger a different breakpoint. - e.g. what should the “password” pointer be pointing to in order to trigger the “you’re in” branch of code. Note: it still can’t reverse hashes. If you try to reverse md5 using this approach it’ll consume petabytes of RAM. I think radare2 was looking into integrating with angr but I don’t know the status of the integration.
Weka implements a ton of statistics-based ML algorithms as well as some validation tools and graphs. All you need is some data in almost-CSV format and you can run some statistics analysis on it. This isn’t neural networks so you don’t need neither a powerful GPU nor gigabytes of data. Some tutorials online get useful results with 10-20 entries.
