Sunsofold@lemmings.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you know of any course in programming that focuses on how data gets moved around thats more agnostic about language or platform?English2·3 days agoThe high level view of ‘copying’ is purely abstracted, and not very useful. It’s a layperson’s understanding. Copy A and call it B makes a thing called B that contains the same data as A. Anything deeper than that will be completely language dependent. Whether a copy is a copy or a reference depends on language and implementation.
Unless you mean how data physically is copied/recalled at the hardware level… that’s language agnostic and happens in mostly just a few ways.
Sunsofold@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban SmartphonesEnglish1·3 days agoBattling anything is built of two parts, making it immoral, and making it illegal. Making it illegal makes it easier to argue that it’s immoral, because many people take cues for their morality from legality, but if you want to keep it illegal you have to maintain the cultural belief in its immorality. Each reinforces the other.
Sunsofold@lemmings.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone actually say during an interview that the reason they want the job was because they need money?2·4 days agoSomething happening frequently doesn’t make it a good thing.
Sunsofold@lemmings.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone actually say during an interview that the reason they want the job was because they need money?English4·4 days agoI always hated that question because it’s basically asking you to lie. We should be punishing liars, not rewarding them.
Sunsofold@lemmings.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•One major issue with social media is that it operates on a first come, first served basis. This essentially rules out the possibility of well-considered, well-researched content being successful.English12·5 days agoThe First Mover Advantage is not exclusive to social media. It’s inherent to life in scarcity. First to run to the feast gets the pick of the food. First to run from the tiger has the most targets between the tiger and their bum. First company to sell a thingle gets 100% of the market until a competitor arrives, including 100% name recognition, 100% network dominance, etc.
Prompt says you’re being chased but nothing about the quality of the chase. I like the image of the predator being obligated to chase them but feeling kind of ashamed of it so they don’t really want to get the kill.
Hunted: ‘*puff, wheeze* Just… gotta… get to the top… of the hill.’ Predator: *walks calmly up to just behind the hunted and makes a predator noise, then sits to wait for them to scramble the rest of the way up while the predator plays space-solitaire*
I’d never invite myself because I’d be lost in something at home, so I’d never meet me.
Enjoy. Always good to spread the word on artists who don’t get a lot of promotion.
Sunsofold@lemmings.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What communities or instances do you have blocked to make your Lemmy experience more enjoyable?English17·9 days agoMostly just subjects I don’t have any interest in, such as football, F1, etc.
Grausame Töchter is loads of fun, and I’ve enjoyed some of the others.
Twins in Fear has done some work with Aranea of Grausame Töchter.
Also check out Vampyros Lesbos.
Maybe also:
Thought the one on the right was someone related to Trudeau for a moment.
If people had the kind of relationships where they could have the trust necessary to show that kind of vulnerability, they probably wouldn’t be feeling the need to self-isolate. Sometimes, the reason you self-isolate is, you don’t have anyone you trust enough to share your problems.
Sunsofold@lemmings.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is some good "warm" or warmly dark/darkly warm music?English2·9 days agoI wouldn’t call some of what you give as samples ‘warm’ but here are some things that have some element in common with them, to my ear.
Sunsofold@lemmings.worldto Gaming@lemmy.ml•(SPOILERS) Bethesda is shit - Fallout 4 (2015) ImpressionsEnglish6·11 days agoYou want to see my Fallout 4 impression?
Nyuh, nyuh, nyuh. I’m Fallout 4. Nyuh, nyuh, nyuh.
But seriously, I was quite disappointed by it too. I really enjoyed 3. NV was kind of fun too. 4 just felt like it was trying too hard in the wrong places. They put a lot of the effort that should have gone into storyline development and put it into the town building minigame. They tried to catch the wave of Ark and all those other base builders and lost the story in the sandbox. Two half games don’t make a whole game.
E-ink in general is expensive from what I’ve seen. I was pricing out building a little project and found even the tiny displays (a few centimeters on the diagonal) were ~US$50. If you look for anything big enough to be more than a low power always on display, it gets quite expensive quite quickly. Add on the cost of development for completely unique software because the off-the-shelf stuff is mostly not compatible, and the other general hardware costs for making it a product instead of a project, and the pricepoint is not that wild. Hopefully they come down over time.
Sunsofold@lemmings.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why does YouTube feel completely devoid of content? (clarification in body)English81·13 days agoYou clearly have the intelligence to spell the words ‘algorithm,’ ‘aggressively,’ and ‘the.’ The algorithm is not meant for you. It is made to suck children and idiots down into machine induced ADHD. If you have standards of any kind, you reject the obvious trash and end up where you are. You have my congratulations and my sympathies.
Can’t forget to take meds if you’re never diagnosed.
Sunsofold@lemmings.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Walmart Workers Share Photos of Price IncreasesEnglish4·15 days agoThey could barely afford it before. The scary question is what they’ll do when they realize how screwed they are.
I’d recommend Pavel. He has an excellent work ethic.
