Why are the different scales connected? How exactly does one interpolate between agreeableness and neuroticism? This is the kind of diagram I used to draw as an 8 year old, and they put this crap in a real product...
If we need warning lights for self driving cars, the technology is not ready.
Makes sense, cause double can represent way bigger numbers than integers.
Not only cute girls, cute boys too!
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back. Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down... with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
- Cave Johnson, Portal 2
Maybe not words to live by, but certainly a memorable quote.
It's just a new picture format that is arguably better than jpeg in many scenarios. It has been around for many years. Windows just refuses to do file associations correctly, so people hate it for no reason.
Capitalism makes work degrading
And buying the movie probably won't give you a file, but instead just the right to stream it from their servers. At some point they'll pull the plug on that and you'll loose access.
The thing it can do best is bewilder developers with it's strange choices
Probably much less than half, but general apathy and the two party system distorts how that looks.
Trust me, they can easily find out about all emulators that exist. All that matters is if they see some advantage in shutting the project down.
Christianity is a cult.
Five seconds of loading is an upgrade over five consecutive ads
Until the websocket issue is fixed, I'm gonna stick with Jebora
No criminal charges for him or his partner, who started blasting too. The first one resigned after the sheriff’s internal affairs investigation told him that he did an oopsie.
Those carbon credits won't do shit to save the planet, but at least flying less is a step in the right direction
I wish we would live in a world where we could just crack jokes involving trans people like we do with everything else.
I used to think open source applications were simply the inferior alternative that you choose when you don't have the money for the real thing, but then I started to notice how Blender suddenly looked almost equivalent to the industry standard apps when update 2.8 came out. That made me question my previous position. Fast forward a few years, I now proudly use Linux and FOSS applications whenever I can.
Should have gone for the constitutional monarchy five moves ago
It's shit like this that keeps me from building any kind of trust in MS-owned open source projects.
Okay that is the first argument for it I've read that actually makes sense
No way I'm ever gonna trust a company that is chasing profits
I immediately write off all groups who put everyone claiming to be a communist in the same group. You gotta realize that communists are a diverse group, ranging from people who simply use communist logic in a democratic context to outright stalinists.
To be fair, game programming is very often hot garbage. Most things I run do not respond for a while at startup. How difficult can it be to decouple your threads?
That's not mobile first, it's mobile only. Pretty much half of my web design course was the professor ranting about designs that don't adapt to the device they are being viewed on, and how to do that right.
Proud garbage enjoyer
Lemmy is one of the healthiest fediverse communities. It's starting to get to the point where it can emulate the hours of infinite scrolling people do on reddit. Whether that is a good thing is debatable.
I used to be on the original 196 two years ago, cause it really was 99% supportive. But it has simply devolved into fetishization over time.
Time for the ol' "Roll coal if your dick is tiny" sticker
Integer underflow
The UI department will probably get massive layoffs if they don't change anything, so they're forced to """"innovate"""".
It's really fucking hard. I seriously need to get help, but where would I even look? Last time I opened up to a psychologist caused some of the worst self-loathing I ever experienced, and got me close to ending it all. All I can do is to keep hiding.
Single page apps are cool when they are done right, but such a huge hindrance when navigation is based on buttons and js.
Cool trickshot
So we're gonna spend a whole bunch of energy to capture carbon, then use even more to turn it into fuel, and then just burn it again? Yea sorry, I am not convinced.
Edit: Unless if course they propose it for grid balancing, like we talk about doing with hydrogen. In that case, I wanna know exact energy efficiency numbers and equipment cost.
The US is just three corporations in a trenchcoat pretending to be a country
Wage labor is dehumanizing in it's current form.
I spent hours the other day uninstalling adware from my laptop after reinstalling windows on it. It's ridiculous.
From your perspective, your body wouldn't really change. It's the handedness / chirality of the universe that would be flipped. It's an odd thing to think about...
