I really didn't have to "learn" svelte as I had to vue or react
As someone who is primarily a back end dev with limited experience with frontend frameworks (very little react, somewhat decent amount of vue), this was the biggest surprise when working on a project with svelte. You know the saying "hit the ground running"? This was the first time I felt like that with a frontend framework.
End of the site. There were many changes but this one will kill it in the long run. Aaaanyways, there competitors brewing up. Recently I visited Rumble, thinking "meh, one of these youtube clones again" only to be shocked that plenty of videos seem to be getting hundreds of thousands of views there. Odysee and Bitchute seem to be doing OK too? I don't know. On one hand it's sad to see Youtube go just because of Google disliking (no pun intended) that people can dislike their corporate messaging (rewind... anything biden related etc.), on the other hand Google can go to hell.

Thanks, quite a bit of coffee is now on my keyboard...
The difference in deaths and severe effects on health and ecology is incomparable. Coal absolutely dwarfs nuclear. Like hundreds or thousands to one. Even if a Chernobyl happened twice a year, like it or not, the resulting pollution and death would be less than what coal mining and coal power plants do. THAT is the reality people don't want to admit because the anti-nuclear propaganda and scaremongering has worked so well.
(All of which gets kinda exposed when there's opposition also to fusion, so many nay sayers, and it won't work this, and it takes 40 years that... also, I swear, if I'm going to see one more "fusion reactor in the sky" tweet from Elon, my head's gonna explode. Dirtbag manipulator.)
I would have said "why bother" until this happened to us.
Aah, the good ole "one customer is unhappy, let's waste a week of time on this" approach to IT management. Takes guts to tell such customers "here's your refund, now piss off", but it is the right thing to do.
How about no. How about people use curbstomp whenever they damn please. I'm very well aware of what you're implying and what you're trying to do here. Poison the well, police the conversation. Just like the OK sign just means "ok", curbstomp just means curbstomp. The fact that someone somewere used these things in a racist context means nothing, as these words/signs are not racist at all. Racists also use toilet paper, are we going to ban it? How about air or water. No, all of these attempts to police and cancel speech need to go to hell.
Designing for minimum maintenance is nice when you're working on something for "yourself"... not so much if you're creating something for someone else. Since designing for minimum maintenance takes additional time (and money) and most stakeholding entities (contractee, employer) will want the job to be done as soon as possible (and only THEN worry about upkeep), this can easily prevent you from "doing the right thing" simply by the nature of competition. Not to mention the elephant in the room - that minimum maintenance often means less money for the person doing the maintenance, i.e. "you". Vendor lockin is an issue only if you're not the vendor.
It doesn't dispute that they were made intentionally - in fact, it says the opposite. (These are carefully made so they don't overlap and they were not produced by locomotion.)
If this is "art" art... is up to everyone to interpret for themselves.
But then again, today you can give yourself a paint enema, squirt it from your asshole all over a canvas and some people will call it art.
Yes, it's not limited to Musk-related topics, but he does seem to be the nexus point of many of these. Everyday Astronaut was just complaing about a blatant (and kinda shocking as to how bad it can get, to be honest) instance here: https://mobile.twitter.com/Erdayastronaut/status/14386438867...
Ok, I have to ask, what is an actual difference between torrents and ipfs? I don't care for technical details, I mean the business logic, so to speak.
- Both use DHTs to search for sources of fingerprinted content. - Both use nodes (seeds in BT terminology) that actuallu store the content. - Both don't have an "archive" system, and so if at least one node doesn't have the file, it may as well not exist at all. - Both can have content censored by going after the node operators.
Am I getting any of these wrong?
That is true, Discord is generally thought of (and used) as voice/chatting platform, more than a message board platform, but people still write random garbage even on those... as evidenced by things like Youtube comments or Disqus comments. So, the target community is still the king when it comes to the quality of the conversation. (BTW I didn't mention Twitter because that is the worst PLUS all the spam. Trying to read something like a response thread for a Musk Tweet is a nightmare.)
I think veganism is awesome. Sadly, I like meat more than I like veganism.
Yea, same reaction, I had to double check it's true. Damn, we're getting old.
You literally can't use the site properly when you're not logged in (and I mean basic clicking on retweeted/quoted stuff shows a login page, clicking on people's names shows a login page etc.) - how is that good? (I mean sure, build your walled garden as you please, but then you have no business showing in search engine results.)
I wouldn't exactly call a comparison between gene therapy "isn't quite the same".
Flu shots contain inactivated/weakened flu virus (depending on the version), to the presence of which/antigens the body reacts by creating antibodies.
RNA vaccines are a different technology, which transfect (reprogram in IT speak) your own cells to produce spike proteins similar to the ones sars-cov-2 does (the consensus seems to be that this spike variant is, unlike the real one, harmless and is not free floating) which are then detected by the the body and antibodies are created.
The result is esentially the same, but the way you get there contains an extra step and it is this extra step that is the source of the vast majority of (rare) adverse reactions. Blood clots etc.
The ironic thing is that most people who are very strongly opinionated on this (both sides) have no idea what the actual difference is and blindly trust whatever either the government or a local anti-vax facebook group tells them.
Organized crime gangs... please. Look at what they're doing in relation to Covid. Crime gangs... Australia is nuts.
I don't know what's the best way of dealing with it, but what I do know is that what's Australia's doing is a recipe of what to avoid doing. Whatever's the way forward, it can't be arresting people for being outside, tagging people's homes like they're lepers or something and building concentration camps for the forced relocation of the sick.
If you're no using an IDE, you're not working in big enough codebases or are not required to move fast enough - either way, I'm not really interested what you have to say. After you work in this business for over a decade, you'll know dumb ideas just because you've seen them several times before. "No IDE" is just that. A dumb idea.
Yea, you're right, I think the previous poster seriouspy underestimates videogames as performance critical (and performance consistent!) apps. In the modern days of desktop Java and C# (and even more in web dev) the vast majority of coders just don't come across the need to "do everything you need to do" in 33ms or less, consistently.
Oh boy, I see the crypto market is on the rise again so it's time for the HN crypto hot takes to grace our eyes yet again. We get it alright, crypto bad.
That doesn't take into account the production footprint
That doesn't stop some people (and even some goverments) from calling EVs "carbon neutral".
Why CUDA?
I don't think many people care what NYC does. That city is a joke. And a dump. (A few videos from Louis Rossmann and I never want to visit, let alone live there.)
That's only a size of regular modern video game... the downloads of which are pretty mainstream these days. Saying that a 50 gig download is a barrier "for most" is definitely not true.
They're not public utilities. They're a cartel.
Yes I'm joking, but that some may think I'm not doesn't surprise me. People believe a lot of shit and there's a lot of people.
Won't happen, as we all know, the aliens have special technology that prevents all decent cameras from capturing their craft.
What happened to MariaDB? Not much, but unlike Netbeans (which is a complete disaster under Apache... a dying project maintained by a skeleton crew), it still has a commercial entity behind it, so it's trucking along relatively nicely. I mean, it's not like Oracle is investing tremendous amounts of time and money into MySQL either... there are still many, many things in the MySQL ecosystem that are second class citizens when compared to the big boys. Features like materialized views are yet to materialize etc.
