Well... Hope you'll start eating again soon. I am no medical professional, but I hope you looked into stuff like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Just starting to eat again might be really dangerous to you. But I don't know enough to start eating again safely. At least not precisely. Do your research.

@BordedDev

I consider democracy failed and doomed to fail from the beginning, a system that cannot work and we should give it up. Not because I do not like democracy, but because even when confronted with simple arguments, smart sounding responses will be brought that justify why democracy is not a duty. Why it is okay not to engage. And why not voting is supposed to be a form of protest.

If it is protest, then only against democracy itself.

The staunchest defenders of democracy are its doom bringers. In a way, tragic. But it is long dead. Buried even deeper by the fact that even pointing this disconnect out does not lead to any realizations.

@BordedDev

It is no use. Cannot escape zealots. Because if you do, the only people still visible are zealots.

It might be code not to get your discord banned, but it destroys democracy nonetheless.

The thing that I believe most people have not understood is that your vote matters little in democracy. Your voice matters. The fact that you can argue and convince people who make the decisions. And you know who make the decision? Those with a vote.

So, if you were given a vote, you have lost the right to close off your ears. Yet, that's not the narrative that people who rely on you being ill-informed are spinning. They tell you it is your right to close yourself off. But democracy comes with duties. And debating is one of them. Simply because otherwise, the system does not work.

@Hazarth

Because those are the places with the staunchest defenders of an opinion. Those people invested.

Look, if we put two political opinions on a spectrum. Only two parties, say democrats and republicans:

D-------d--|--r--------R

The pipe is the line where some would vote for the one or the other parties, the letters are example voters.

In those political spaces, you will find D and R. The problem, d is actually closer to r than they are to D. And vice versa. But those two don't meet, or when they do, they agree not to speak about politics. They never even realize that this is the opinion of the other. For d, a republican looks like R. And for r, a democrat looks like D.

This is what echo chambers do.

That's the echo chamber argument. There is also the argument of democratic responsibility. Yet, I run out of characters. Tell me if you're interested.

Anyway, the middle dies, we hate each other, we cannot speak to each other.

@djsumdog

Thanks for the links. I read through both of your articles and yes, egregious. We two probably strongly disagree on the vaccines, but it should be allowed to be said and we should be allowed to have a heated debate on it.

When did the quote,

'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,' become a heterodox opinion, as you so aptly put it.

Side note. I don't stand 100% behind the quote. I want everyone to say their piece, but I wouldn't defend it to my death. To mild social struggle, probably. Far more reasonable.

Does this have anything to do with the Facebook labels Linux and Distrowatch as malware?

Come on Kiki, you're a programmer. Automate. Write a program that doesn't eat for you while you go and have a buffet.

@Hazarth

I disagree about it's the people's right.

Not being able to escape political spaces is the cost of democracy and politics-free spaces have cost us democracy.

Human value is both objective and a luxury good.

The objective human value emerges in emergency situations. Only five more spots on the arc? A doctor is more useful than a nurse. The doctor can figure out the nurse's job.

Yet, in a society that is not threatened by imminent destruction, value will be extended to everyone. It is a luxury good a society develops when it is going well.

@retoor

I think you do not understand.

I used immich. immich had a container name preset "postgres" for its postgres database. It also had service name preset "database".

Somewhere inside of immich it has a database string that defaulted to: DATABASE_URL=http:////

I said, this is a stupid default. It means just one postgres db on it. They could have used the service name, that wouldn't have these limitations.

DATABASE_URL=http:////

It is in the "depends_on", service name would be recognized. Don't set a container name this generic as a default anyway, it has to be unique. Just leave it away and use the service name as a default. That would have been just fine.

But that was what immich did and it is a pain in the arse to debug someone's docker setup when it is not documented right, hence the rant.

So, zero padding was the problem and AI was the solution you came up with?

Our species is lost, isn't it?

But why?

Making an automatic workflow is a two hour time investment?

On something like that, back when I couldn't just decide on my own, I usually invest the time after hours, tell my lead I have something that I think they will like, but if they take it they have to give me that time back in off-time and just go home earlier next Friday.

Having it already done means no long debates on technology and for juniors, it means you understand actually what you're asking for. Sometimes tasks like this are bigger than they look.

I always am amazed about the amount of <<insert OS>> is so buggy posts.

I mean, I have worked in OSX and found it stable. I work mostly in Linux and the amount of people explaining to me that my OS of choice is unusable is baffling. I just migrated from i3 to KDE. Just because I wanted a change. Will probably migrate back in a month or so, knowing me. Happy with both. I just love how it feels different.

I also run Windows systems. And they are fine in their usability. Even the infamous Windows 8 was fine in usability.

I wonder if people are not flexible enough to adjust their work flow to the system provided... But on the other end, I end up writing scripts to make my workflow easier...

Or it is that they have confirmation bias, finding a bug, and then focusing on it more...

Or maybe... just maybe... You're just shit out of luck. Bad luck?

I don't know, but I tend to lean towards the confirmation bias hypothesis.

I strife to be the idiot in my team.

It's not the extension, it is in the main.js file or what it is called and only on debug builds, not on release builds. Quite handy actually.

@Demolishun

@jestdotty

You two are cute. Yea, as I said, it is 99% accurate. There are exceptions. Those are rare. Highschool genetics are not wrong, they are only mostly correct.

Dark hair or eyes are dominant. Meaning you can hide a recessive blonde gene in them without expressing it. It doesn't work the other way around. Gingers are just blondes with an MCR1 defect. So, your kids are fine.

Are my observations absolutely certain? No. Beyond any reasonable doubt. Yea.

Oh, by the way. Genes are terribly hard to define. Different papers use different definition. They aren't as try cut as base pairs or alleles. Richard Dawkins usually preferred information unit, while many others use information unit with locality. Sometimes I have even seen allele = gene definitions.

@jestdotty

I was in the overthinking phase.

Then I was in the I do not give a crap phase. Went like this in extreme cases: "What, it is 2am, why the fuck is your phone not muted? I have to be called twice in 30 seconds for it to ring. A message won't make me, that's your problem."

You do that until you have a person that holds power over you... And then you're like: "Is it really worth pissing him off?"

My system works for me, and I think for more people who have not considered it, yet. Did wonders to my anger issues. Still have those... But they are my private affair that no one needs to know.

Hmm... Anger issues is not the right word. Bad moods make me... belligerent. I can usually delete those message before I send them.

@retoor Yea, that makes a lot of sense. Backlinks. Good point.

That last thing, that make intuitive sense to my gamer brain. Back to the respawn point.

Hmm... The meta studies on gamers and violence came back with no indication for increased violence.

Maybe it is time to make a study if gamers on hard drugs are more prone to violence than non-gamers on hard drugs.

Average defecation is quite varied. Between 3 times a day and once every 3 days is considered normal.

6 times a day sounds excessive. But there is the story they told us in the third year of med school. There is no story, I never went to med school.

It is enforced all wrong. After all, how much money do I waste on a feature for naught point zero zero etc. one percent of my customer base?

How would enforcement really work? Well, require an open API. All information there. And it must be free to use for everyone who uses this API to add accessibility.

Because accessibility is not the same. It is different for someone who has Parkinson to someone who is blind to someone who is dyslexic. That allows for special versions and companies specialized into making other products accessible, allows for a better interconnected web and frees me, the company owner, from caring about the .0000001% of customer base when I wouldn't even think it is economical to add something to my web app just because 1% of my users want it.

@just8littleBit

What the fuck? But how?

Please don't tell me that it was all dynamic programming stuff to figure out the smallest matrix to optimize matrix multiplication and you have replaced it with list_of_matrixes.reduce((a,b) => a.mul(b)).

Or maybe an implementation of an 2-3-4 tree that was replaced with a std::vec?

Or was the code written by complete beginners which ignored all framework features? Had that once.. That was horrific. They also stopped to use migrations because it was so complicated and changed the database directly. Had no local development environment. Could only see if their changes worked when deployed. It was dreadful.

We were called back in to sort that out again.

I hate how close the name is to Codium. Am I the only one who does not use AI for programming?

I sometimes take my finished code and paste it into GPT, asking it to describe what my code does, critique it and improve upon it. Educational. Some cool ideas.

But honestly, coding with AI is closer to code review than coding. And I am better at coding than reviewing.

@b2plane Just have a doctor check it out. They get money for all the gross stuff. Some might even like it.

Hemorrhoids?

@tosensei

I am with you that magic is advanced technology. But an equal sign. Not a direction.

Also math. Fucking hell, math is magic. What you can reason from betweenness of graphs or statistical analysis of problems.

How many bears are there... Hmm.. Let's catch a bear, mark him with color, release him and then start catching bears until we catch our marked bear again. And we have a pretty good idea of how many bears there are.

I raise my child knowing that if she goes to uni and chooses natural science of any kind, she essentially goes to Hogwarts. Magic is real. Wanna be a witch? Study math and sciences!

@tosensei

Correct, it's just math. But math is magic, though.

Oh, wow. My script broke git.

I cannot use the script and git at the same time... Git uses also ssh and it just calls the ssh command from the path. Hmm.. Back to the drawing board.

@atheist

I think they do 5 2-ways. It is easier and imagine a group chat. Easier to hand out the old key or maybe make a new key if old messages should not be shared than waiting until everyone had been online at least once with the last person online.

I just think it is neat that it is possible. And there will be probably some cool use cases. Like common key for systems that are not in real-time communication? Like a letter system? Don't forget you can always send it home early.

Like 1-2-1

And then just act like that hasn't happened and make it 1-2-3-1. And so on. Might be a cool way to solve a problem with lightspeed delay?

Funnily enough, you can even make it a shared key with multiple participants. You just have to run it in a circle. A chat with 30 people? No issue, just run it from person to person. It is amazing. Shared secret. Anyone listening? No issue.

I think that's often overlooked, but Diffie Hellman can make a key with n>=2 participants. My favorite feature!
