I liked a couple of his YouTube videos forever ago but heard he took a turn toward the right wing. ☹️ Can someone fill me in on whatever recent drama this is?

science@lemmy.world•China surpasses US in research spending – the consequences extend far beyond scientific ranking and cloutEnglish
1·6 months agoNot really. DARPA is only getting $4.9B of the US’s $181.4B research budget this year. For comparison, the NIH is getting nearly 10x what DARPA is getting.
A lot of people have a very weird understanding of what DARPA does.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Every Terminal program should have a black background by default
8·8 months agoI’ll occasionally switch to that as it shows up better on projection screens for presentations, but it’s not my default.

Programming@programming.dev•Uiua — an extremely terse programming langauge
9·8 months agoIt’s evaluated right to left, but modifiers are to the left of the functions. I feel like they were specifically trying to be difficult.

Linux@lemmy.ml•On Linux, how do I get the VM host/guest experience but with two physical PCs, such as a "guest" laptop and a "host" desktop PC? [SOLVED]
2·8 months agoYou may want something like https://jetkvm.com/ or https://pikvm.org/. They will do the video capture and keyboard/mouse input.
Also check out https://symless.com/synergy. I really like it for using my work laptop next to my desktop. It doesn’t do video, but extends your mouse and keyboard to other computers.

Programming@programming.dev•What are some cool and obscure data structure you know of?
78·10 months agoI’m also not sure if this is obscure, but Bloom Filters! It’s a structure that you can add elements to then ask it if it has seen the element before with the answer being either “no” or “probably yes”. There’s a trade-off between confidence of a “probably yes”, how many elements you expect to add, and how big the Bloom Filter is, but it’s very space and time efficient. And it uses hash functions which always make for a fun time.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Essential Steps to Launch Your Photography Business
3·1 year agoFuck off with your AI slop bullshit.
Yeah, I have a couple over 800MB PNGs that I can only get Gimp to open properly. I need to look into pyramidal TIFFs.

12·1 year agoAnd if there’s ever a brand integration, he’ll spout their marketing drivel uncritically and try to pass it off as science. I can’t trust him anymore.

Android@lemdro.id•Google’s Play Store lost nearly half its appsEnglish
3·1 year agoYep! It’s running fine right now on my Pixel 9.

Android@lemdro.id•Google’s Play Store lost nearly half its appsEnglish
36·1 year agoGoogle removed my app because I wasn’t updating it regularly enough. I WASN’T UPDATING IT BECAUSE IT WAS FINISHED AND IT DID EVERYTHING I WANTED IT TO DO!

Programming@programming.dev•Falsehoods programmers believe about languages
5·2 years agoI think more specifically for C, 0 is false and anything nonzero is true. Idk about NaN/inf.
This is a community for people who have home servers. 100M is fine for a couple people just web browsing, but that’s not the topic of this discussion.
I run 10G between my desktop and my server because I can easily saturate a 1G connection doing a simple file transfer.
If your craptop is using an HDD instead of an SSD, replacing it with an SSD would be a cheap upgrade you could do that would make a massive improvement.
I agree with the people suggesting Onshape.
But if you like programming, OpenSCAD can be really interesting.


I previously had them tagged as “lacks reading comprehension”
