You know what’s funny, the two clients that don’t support your dropdown/spoiler for anti-commercial licences were commercial closed-source Lemmy clients.

I say sod them and go back to your dropdown.

I can’t stand Rossman’s videos; but I respect the hell out of his ideas, principles, and efforts to better the slices of technological life that he cares about.

Obligatory link to the Rustonomicon.

Should you wish a long and happy career of writing Rust programs, you should turn back now and forget you ever saw this book.

all work in floats

We even have float16 / float8 now for low-accuracy hi-throughput work.

That’s… two posts

Three, actually. While I agree with you, it is still arguably the number one company that annoys people on that list ʘ‿ʘ

I don’t know where you are, but painter’s tape (or masking tape) comes in all sorts of colours. Including white.

The way I normally do it is the following. Strip the sleeve further back than you need (say, an inch). Untwist the 8 cores and separate them.

Arrange them in the right order (the extra length makes this easy) Flatten, pack them together, and pinch with your thumb and forefinger near the base.

Without letting go of the pinch, use your free hand to cut them to the correct length. Now that you have them flat between your fingers in the right order, it should be pretty straightforward to slide them into the connector.

I can’t believe there’s not more love for Seal in this thread.

Commonwealth maybe?

Edit: wiki references seem to indicate it’s predominantly ANZ

she’ll be right… @lemmy.nz

Checks out.

My neighbour was freaking out when she saw in the local newspaper that burglaries in our town had increased by 100%

I pointed out that we had 2 burglaries this year, compared to the 1 last year…

The og Opera was so good and innovative. Would’ve paid for it (when it was still ad-supported), were I not a poor student at the time.

When they became yet another chromium skin with no soul, I moved fully to FF. Now Vivaldi is my second browser alongside FF.

Somehow the model that Bing uses is extremely aggressive in gaslighting you. It would be funny if it wasn’t so reminiscent of some of the most abusive relationships I’ve seen irl…

This intrigued me so I tried asking some AI; and in typical AI fashion, they gave me very wrong answers very convincingly.

Gpt4 is convinced it was Vermeer’s “Art of Painting”, and gave a very verbose - but completely wrong - description of how the woman was directing the painter’s arm. The BingGPT version even gave me links… to websites with completely unrelated paintings.

Google bard insists it was Goya’s “The Double Portrait”, and gave a very detailed analysis and critique of the painting. It’s very convincing, except for the fact that I couldn’t find a painting by that name by Goya…

So I’m sorry I couldn’t be of much help. I just found the whole thing amusing.

La Porchetta - weren’t they involved with the mob too at some point? There’s one near me; never seen anyone visit. I swear it’s a front…

bro

I thought we were done with this shit a decade ago, when the internet became so ubiquitous that even my grandmother started using forums and posting on Reddit.

That was a common issue.

It still is, but it was too!
