  • This is such a boring take, I wonder how anyone gets funding or publication making a statement as useless as "see godels incompleteness theorem that proves that there's more truth than what mathematics can prove, therefore reality is not a simulation". Yes, we know, you don't need a PhD to know the major theorem that took down the entire school of logical positivism. The fundamental philosophical error here is assuming that all forms of simulation are computational or mathematical. Counterexample: your dreams are a form of simulation (probably). So I can literally disprove this take in my sleep

  • Hawaii already doesn't do DST ... Since 1967

  • Snap is fine

  • What the fuck this is the best idea ever

  • Really, that's still the case for wine in 2025? It runs most things very well, including 3D

  • There is SO MUCH shame in that, the pitiful noob wont even learn to RTFM, and then I'll have no way to feel superior to them as I dip my beard into my off brand morning cereal #frostedfakes

  • He stopped that nonsense

  • What a tragedy of modern civilization. He wasn't hurting anyone, he was just enjoying his Sunday, exercising his personal expression as an artist: walking around naked high on drugs in traffic. How dare the cops try to interfere with this, this is democracy manifest GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS SIR

  • Just print out the arch wiki in a series of binders, give her access to a tech recycling center, and a screwdriver set. That'll learn'er

  • Well the old clients are backward compatible, but you should check if your client can use new features. But mostly it's that you have to be on a server that supports it

  • Often common stock implies the existence of preferred stock, i.e. the investors got paid out in low sale and everyone else had no money available. The increasingly dominant private equity corp biz probably got a great deal. The class divide widens as usual

  • I assessed Matrix a few years ago and came to the same conclusion. I went with IRC3 which is a new standard that overcomes most of IRC's issues. I think IRC is still quite good, and actually has working clients for everything, web etc

  • You are not mistaken

  • I did read the post, and if you think syntax and implementation weren't a huge part of coding, then I'm not sure you're a programmer either. Design is quick, writing it all out & integrating libs & figuring out bugs is slow

  • Some of those crystal doms are real good, hot wax, rope, the whole bit. All my mommy issues were resolved in 6 sessions

  • There's a lot of people who say that using AI makes you dumber, and that's reasonably true in one sense, but ultimately it's reducing the kinds of work you need to do. This is a trend in humanity -- photos replaced photorealistic painters - farm automation replaced manual labor. At every step, knowledge was in fact lost to society. But is that a problem really, that we lose obsoleted modes of work, in favor of automated systems that solve it forever? New skills emerge, people who know how to design factories, photography artists

    I think people are afraid of AI removing jobs from the workforce, but what it's really doing is making the workforce more efficient. The total amount of product can go up, that's fine. Jobs like coding now look more like architectural design jobs rather than typing jobs. Creative work and original ideas will shine. New jobs will be created. Nothing new is going on

  • Seems to be 100% Lemmy content

  • shows crt with speakers and buttons

    Now THIS was design

    Idk I kinda like modern minimal / flexible, assuming it works. It's often easier to customize something in an app than with a bunch of dials. Stuff like hue has shown it possible to make physical buttons to control smart devices, if you want them

    Meanwhile he glosses over the fact that Samsung has all the foldables now, and that's a pretty extreme industrial design in the modern era

  • Mmmm to clarify, Blender Foundation doesn't own or run Godot afaik, they are just trying to tightly integrate the pipelines together and make it easy. These games are the way to refine and showcase the process, like Blender's open movies

  • Great read, thanks RSS Bot! This is a fair and nuanced take, and seems to suggest that senior devs aren't sped up, especially in big open source projects where they have years of domain expertise. But for small and new repos, less experienced devs, and well designed plans - it's still probably a net win
