@12bitfloat but working together goes nice. Maybe we can build something cool together? Any idea? Maybe you could help on rchat.molodetz.nl? It's a chat that you can share with others on a forum. Idea is that you can put something after the last slash / and that is the name of your room. But it's python. It's on molodetz.nl (have you seen new site?)

@retoor hahaha well of course, depends on who give the order to build the STAHLBETON HOCHAUS BAUAUFTRAG to. Is it HEINRICH KRAUSL STAHLBETON HOCHHAUS MEISTERBAUWERKER GESELLSCHAFT or the next js bro youtuber with unnaturally covered hair?

maybe codewars would be something for you? the site gamifies this whole stuff as you being in a dojo, and you get kyu in a technique(language).

when you solved the problem, you can eventually make yourself feel completely dense by seeing what the top voted solution is.

i was there and did some python exercises. mate did i feel stupid after looking at the one liners after having written 30+ myself

Facebook is a site where I can easily quit with. No consequences. Same for other social media.

But if I would ditch linkedIn, i would miss some serious job opportunities. Thanks to linkedIn I never had to search for a job! It's the only Network that delivered me something good. Facebook delivered me a crazy ex. 

So yeah, fuck linkedIn for being so terrible and great at the same time.

@jestdotty SVG performance depends on the number of SVG objects rendered. Unless your objects are plain black shapes, you’re going to need a lot of such objects. Want a piece of armor that looks even remotely recognizable? That would be 36 objects please. It just doesn’t scale 
I have a majestic SVG pic with every single commune of France displayed with its borders. When I open it, my M1 Mac shits itself. 
There are just ~35,000 communes in France. 35k polygons is a laughable number, yet it’s enough to push a modern computer to its limits. Now imagine animating that!

@ScriptCoded Meilisearch is on the list to investigate. That one was dropped before. I'm now trying this cool thing: https://github.com/alexmolas/...

Sounds perfect with what i want, url's to index. But it seems only to work on certain type of blogs? 

I have no problem with adjusting some software, but still have to find out what software is most worty to adjust. This one comes close.

Other search engine on my list is written in 1995!!

A much bigger company had me talk with them about my work experience, made sure that I knew what I was talking about, and we sealed the deal.

@kiki well if the svg isn't moving cache all the pixels

I forget what it's called

basically you render it to a layer and then just print the layer over and over again

simple svgs might be faster than the layer trick tho

I remember making a space game and I wanted to draw all the spaceships in SVG, but those aren't gonna be that complex cuz it was basically asteroids but maybe like a little more fancy


user_username: jestdotty
created: 2024-12-08 02:53:29
body:
@retoor you send instructions to the gpu to draw over previous things you drew

you can speed this up by not overwriting old pixels you drew

so if you can know the end state (or a later state to skip the calculation steps) of all the pixels somehow you can skip the drawing over the same pixel x10-x200 steps and just cache the final pixel and only draw it once instead of x10-x200

the benefit of svg is that you always get clean pixel-perfect images. because you just have coordinates. the resolution is irrelevant, so svg will always draw at the perfect resolution on any system (unless your SVG rendering software is doing it wrong I guess, whatever)
but complex SVG will draw over the same pixels it drew on multiple times. it's good for making rendering meshes I guess though. whatever mesh means but maybe I'm using that word right

also for simple games it's fine. like svg arcade games


user_username: jestdotty

ok meshes are apparently svg coordinates

so it's good for "caching the texture" not "caching the rendering mesh" then

thought rendering mesh was like differently sized textures for different resolutions

I hate words

@retoor 
Yea... he tried that on me. He lost.

Something he clearly didn't know about me, but any childhood friend or close teen and beyond friend knows as basic fact, is that since i turned 5, I've had TONS of Indian friends... acquaintances, employees, relationships, business partners (which for me tends to also mean they are some of my best friends)...etc. I even have a 'sister' in india due to one of those programs where u adopt a needy child for some meager 20$ or whatever a mo... i picked her off a Christmas tree when i was 4, then by 8 got really annoyed that due to the program's rules i couldn't just send her half of my money (i was a rich 8yr old dev), so made a fund to send her gifts/money as soon as i was 18. But even before she knew any of that, joseline has called me her sister and we keep in contact (she's a nurse now).

Realistically, i probaly have more indian friends than him, not even counting temp employees etc.

Him calling me racist is honestly hysterical.

Listen... he's not sexist... just sexually insecure. You gotta remember, even though most of the world is currently flooded with an array of increasing 'genders' and the attitude similar to parents telling toddlers that they can be whatever they want when they grow up, dont listen to or believe anythingelse-- applied to behavioural gender traits...

India isn't quite as inviting to people like syd who just wanna be a pretty pretty princess. 

So, like any childhood bully, he attacks, using topics close to his internal strife, trying to believe his own lies.

@donkulator 
But how soft is too soft?

I mean, i kinda think about it like this:
Whatever traits a colon, or anything, innately has or is expected to have due to being one specific entity within the group that is initially defined with sets of characteristics to identify the base traits of the individuals in it... thatd be the norm/expected start that wouldn't need any explicit declaration unless outside those values.

So like bread is normally soft, but if you ask someone what a bagel or baguette is theyd likely explicitly define that it's harder/denser/not as soft as something like mass produced sandwich bread.

...im now realising im defining the world by oop class structures... but w/ev.

So i think if youre specifically declaring a soft colon... it must be remarkably more soft than colons tend to be... which seems intriguing and dangerous.

Thinking about it... would the contents of a colon even be included in the traits of the colon itself? Genuinely curious now.

@Demolishun acc to syd's standards, im pretty sure jeff foxworthy is racist towards a large chunk of the US south.

I used to (sometimes still do if someone seems a bit too entranced) start talking about racism (just a few sentences) and how wrong it is... to someone who was boring me/looking for something beyond friendship... then directly tell them (changing tempo, volume and pitch just enough to signal extra importance) that I'm only at all racist, even just a little bit, to one group of people, blondes with blue eyes... especially the females. Then quickly cite some random traits i claimed justified this highly specific distaste.

Then id see how long i could keep it going for.

Anyone who hasn't seen a pic of me... clearly blonde with bright blue eyes.

The expressions when they'd finally realise i was directly depicting myself (if it took longer for them to catch on id add more details) was always amusing... esp the dumb ones who weren't sure if i realised i was describing myself

Make a bunch of programs/scripts/networks/encryption methods/etc... but do it like the mentality of those apocalypse preppers that invest so much time/energy/money/etc into their supposed survival.

So going super overboard, but leaving out anything involving thought or learning outside of an overly simplified scope... like how most preppers learn about guns/knives/making pointy sticks... etc... yet dont consider packing a microscope and some basic knowledge/highly magnified pics of common protozoa or very easy to make, broad use, pharmaceuticals like penicillin (aka bread mold that's still one of the most widely used antibiotics in existence).

Those prepper people never learn about basic chemical reagents either...foolish imo

I was very tempted just now to quickly hack your site and fix the typos/minor language issues.

Tbh, even as much as typos in good content annoy me... it was probably only 50% of my temptation. The other half was likely my urge to procrastinate since what im doing now is boring but i gotta do it...

*sigh* 

Im gonna zone out/clear my head, then go back to hours of hyperfocus to get this boring administrative crap done.

@awesomeest also, my server just has new security. My ssh port is now the same as https. Black magic. If you connect with ssh@molodetz.nl -p 443 works while https://molodetz.nl also works. Cool huh? Port 22 is now devoted to git related stuff. Operation stuff is 443. Hackers will never check 443 for ssh access. They leave that port alone in quite general tbh. They do scan every other port tho. The logs on my server are crazy, but I pissed off a few people.

window on a server? so a GUI to visualise a server?

Just add a WinUI3 project to your solution, it can import the same C# services your backend is using (if u put them in their own Class Library at least)

with simple XAML u can have an usable GUI in no time

ANND if u didnt segregate the services into DLLs, then make your GUI make Http calls to your API, cud be local if ur server is local

Or over IP if ur exposing it

@AceDev yes, me too. I know it's probably better to do Rust or so these days but I just don't like that language. Zig & C++ are also options. But I like to make everything handcrafted. I have such a huge library made myself in C, it's almost a self made high level language. I even have a SQLite library in C taking the amount lines of code as the python version to use. The dream is ultimately write a web  framework in C that uses just as fellow lines as a Python framework would do. I really think it's possible if you're smart / creative enough.

@retoor nah but this morning we went to the market and she cooked and I cleaned the dishes and the kitchen. Then we had a fight about money and ate at the table.  I became my parents.

For real though markets are amazing I don't know why anybody would go to the supermarket.

Also the socialist burgmeister make a remark about how she dressed in red for her wedding coz she's into marx. Real leftist wedding.

@12bitfloat It's not bad per se. It's your childish definition of what good and bad is. You see according to famous Swiss-french developmental psychologist Jean Piaget, all kids first develop rule-based ethical thinking as a toddler. In this first phase, kids act essentially like Pavlov's dog. They emit ethical judgment based entirely on rules stipulated by the authorities (parents/teachers/...). At that age, if a bad kid steal a candy, he's a bad kid, even if he's starving. 

Then, most kids evolve into a "no" phase, during which he rebels against the authority. After which they evolve into context-based ethical thinking, where they take the situation into account instead of believing in simplistic blanket statement. 

And I'm talking about famous developemental psychologist Jean Piaget. He knows a thing or two about mental retardation.

@kiki hmm, yh. It sucks if there's a time limit or something. Sounds like a test that is pure focused on speed instead of right solution. 

If they'll ask me that I'll probably say that I came to work, not to game. 

I had to do a cognitive test once because I didn't have the right papers. Passed easily - but I decided never to do such test again. Two hours of stupid puzzles. It's offensive and has nothing to do with your job. It's a test you get if they think you're stupid. The unfair thing is, you get the test of your freaking life. Many people having the right diploma / papers probably don't even pass it. Fucking puzzles.

@12bitfloat I was tired last night and just didn't want to think very much.  I write Qt all the time with C++.  I would probably do this with C++ if I didn't need to learn C# better.  So I found that Qt actually has a way to use Qt with C#.  Not going this route as we use WPF at work.  But it was interesting to see it exists.  I read that if Maui doesn't shape up Qt for C# might get more traction.

Obviously not everything the authority does is good and should be tolerated. Punishing people for stealing is *not* one of those times

Like honestly, can you not think for yourself? In your mind everything the "evil" state does HAS to be bad because the state did it

No. Think for yourself for goodness sake. Think rationally about the incentives, the outcomes. The good things and the bad things. And then come to a conclusion based on logic and morality instead of whatever the fuck you are using to come to conclusions, because your takes so far have been frankly laughable

@Chewbanacas law of attraction, so to speak

company doesn't want to be exploited, has "exploitation" on the mind, creates puzzles to minimize the chance

young buck graduate wants to exploit a company (probably he's heard about how companies exploited his grandaddy and etc), has "exploitation" on the mind, finds out companies made puzzles to filter out people such as him. learns to run the obstacle course, thinks goodies are behind that gateway, targets companies that are specifically "defensive" because he's got expertise in playing their puzzles now and if you're putting in so much effort to keep people out you must have something to raid!

it was the 100 blue gnomes (forgot the names) lightbulb problem where gargamehl will kill all 100 blue gnomes with a pumpgun  if you do somethiung wrong. I took them pretty off guard when i started  with the flow of thought of a pumpgun not nearly containing enough ammo to shoot all 100, that they probably should devise a plan where all of the gnomes are out of the cell. At the right time they all run, surely Gargamehl will be able to kill some, but some will live to tell the tale. And of course the fine print constraints came raining in. of course i thought about one of them being the carry over, but it would take ages!!!

I was like, "that's weird" but to be fair that ceased happening when I started getting more sleep later lol

I sleep like shit though now. 10-12 hours. if I get less I feel like garbage. it's very annoying. I also wake up every 3-4 hours. can't not do it (there were segments of time when I could before but now I can't)

except apparently if I smoke weed then I don't wake up regularly and feel better rested and have more dreams (and it's supposed to do the opposite...). wonder if I'm just so horribly anxious and fucked from life by this rate

@Ranchonyx I was in a similar situation when I tried to make planned a change in Liferay's database tables (PROD). It killed the whole Liferay's entity mapping. I had to restore its tables (thanks to Oracle's Flashback) to make it work again, otherwise it was showing but stock Liferay webpage.

That project was scheduled for an audit by a national bank the next day. I had to improvise. A good lad sysadmin (client-side) helped me out as long as he could, but he had to go to sleep some time too. So I asked him to try the last thing and I promised it will be the last thing I ask him that day. I wasn't sure if it would work.

It worked.

I slept unlike any baby that night.

So you're not alone making such fuckups :) Shit happens.

Worst case, you have backups. You DO have backups, right?

@12bitfloat about wokeness… let's examine the hot topic: trans people.

They exist. Despite decades of oppression from both the government and the people, they didn't stop being trans. They aren't going anywhere. That means if we as a state don't include them, someone else will. This is true for any marginalized group.

1.6M adults identify as transgender in the US. Imagine a religious cult including, then arming and weaponizing 1.6 million people? 

Even if we set aside all transphobic and woke rhetoric, this still holds true.

@kiki The trans issue is a whole debate in and of itself

Trans people do exist and I have no problems with people living their lives

What I do have a problem with is a.) transitioning kids, because they cannot consent, and b.) the tendency to just make some shit up and then say "trans rights are human rights" and now magically we have to obey them

E.g. trying to censors peoples speech if it doesn't agree. In many first world countries you could reasonably get a fine or be thrown in jail for tweeting "there are only two genders", because that's "hate speech"

@12bitfloat I think that puberty blockers for kids and sex reassignment surgery for kids should be banned.

Hate speech though… everything has to be considered within its original context. Things that are “technically true” may still be used as hate speech. If I take a pic of a white guy, then a black guy, and then a gorilla, and measure their facial colors in RGB, a black guy's skin is closer to a gorilla's skin than a white guy's skin, because a gorilla's skin is black. Is it technically true? Yes. Does it mean that “black guys look like monkeys” is suddenly not hate speech? Not one bit.

I won't talk about notable trans cases because I don't know an awful lot about them. All I want to say is, please, have some patience. Trans rights issue is still volatile, so a lot of injustice can happen to a lot of people. It will all settle down eventually.

It's not about what we think is right, it's about how to meaningfully coexist the longest.

@kiki I agree that there is certainly very hateful and mean spirited speech, but I'm super not a fan of hate speech laws for one simple reason: Who defines what hate speech is?

In a sense we (as a society) already had this discussion: Because anyone might be offended by anything, it's foolish and dangerous to ban vast areas of speech over it. We should allow as much speech as possible and the truth will ultimately prevail

The more cynical (and imo true) take on hate speech laws is that it's just far lefty marxist types trying to gain power over society because they are really not good people driven by even worse motives

Either way, I think they are a bad idea

@12bitfloat oh, so you're against hate speech as a concept. What you say is valid because natural languages are vague, inexact and malleable. My wife is a linguist, and she used to talk about it all the time. The overarching problem is that we're trying to study language using language. So far, we don't know the solution.

I think that the only way around it is to move the speech itself out of the question. The context and circumstances around what was said are often enough. Again, it's not about what was/wasn't said and done, it's about how to ensure that we all peacefully coexist for as long as we meaningfully can.

Do I believe in trans rights? Yes, I am trans after all. Will I go to my local mosque wearing trans flag as a cape for no reason whatsoever? Absolutely not: it won't help us coexist.

To be honest, I've given up on trying to rationalize the world around me. I just follow my gut feeling. It had thousands of years to train the coexistence skill.

body:
@retoor
In Python, you can overload operators by defining special methods in your classes. These special methods are also called magic methods or dunder methods because they are surrounded by double underscores.

For example, to overload the addition operator (+) in a class, you can define the __add__ method. Here's a simple example:

```python
class Point:
    def __init__(self, x, y):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y

def __add__(self, other):
        return Point(self.x + other.x, self.y + other.y)

# Using the overloaded + operator
point1 = Point(1, 2)
point2 = Point(3, 4)
result = point1 + point2
print(result.x, result.y)  # Output: 4 6
```

You can overload various operators like +, -, *, /, ==, !=, etc., by defining their corresponding magic methods.

Here is a great resource to learn more about operator overloading in Python: https://docs.python.org/3/...

The term "AI" is often used to describe a system that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. This can include things like learning, problem-solving, decision-making, and natural language processing. LLM (Large Language Models) like GPT-3 fall under the category of artificial intelligence because they are designed to process and generate human-like text based on large amounts of data. So yes, LLMs are considered a form of AI.

humans are susceptible to this to a degree, and the humans who are high on the scale of self awareness and scrutiny are generally ostracized by cults as "difficult people". and anyone insecure (also in power when there's a communism in the culture, which threats them) is going to compensate by trying to evoke loyalty from people aka they only want increasingly levels of cult. self awareness and scrutiny do not smell like loyalty so such get shafted for the easy to control people, ones that will follow anything you say because that will make you feel safe

I can also google such Scripts without the need or the same llm... It's more accessible when you put an LLM interface in front of a library of scripts or if you get lucky and your ask is simple enough that the model seen in at least a couple hundred times to rewrite or modify it slightly. But then we're still just talking about the llm being an interesting model. It's also more than just a sum of It's parts because some form of logic is an emergent property of a language by definition. So It's able to fake thought because It's modeling it. But Its capabilities are vastly overblown. OpenAI is a business, and a predictable one at that.

> what is your opinion about the signed software only action from apple?

I don‘t know anything about an action from Apple. On the mac you get a warning when you want to install stuff that‘s not signed but you can install it anyway. (same on Windows btw.)

I know that it‘s the wet dream of Apple and MS to be able to control what users can and can not install but we are not there yet. Of course my opinion is that it‘s consumer hostile bullshit.

Thinking about it… didn‘t MS have a laptop with a special version of Windows 8 or something which only allowed MS Store apps?

@Lensflare just wrote that.. But it seems now some have indeed lost down vote privileges including myself:

no-spam3 downvoted 11417694 with result False

and some still work:

no-spam1 downvoted 10189232 with result True

Upvoting eachother is the right way, but I have to let new accounts making place a comment first to upvote. Then alert other bots to upvote before that bot can downvote. Sure, can make that, but it will take a while. Also, you can't endlessly register on dR. I need proxies if i want to create many accounts.

@retoor so much this. The ads and also the overhyped channels on YouTube have an extreme effect on people, including me. The more I can avoid it the less stressed I am on average. But Im also more and more angry that this is the default state for society and we just allow this to be done to millions of others, especially young and impressionable minds. It just pisses me off that we get more and more research into how detrimental "modern internet" is to peoples psyche and yet no one is doing anything to control or stop it. And the hype around AI is just the newest trend that makes the exploitation worse and as far as Im concerned it should be illegal to pull these stunts. Im pretty sure around 60% of official info on AI should fall under false advertising and should cost them millions whenever It's revealed :/ Peoples privacy, mental health and Security should be more important than money overall, but it isn't and it really makes me want to start a revolution

So Shutdown isn't a complete shut down unless you turn off the fast boot shit.  I turned off fast boot because it corrupted a mounted encrypted volume I was using (veracrypt).  It doesn't seem to make a difference in boot time.  YMMV

Not sure how this would affect an Update and ShutDown command though.

I kinda forgive newscasters. 

They are told to simplify things for the average person.

When it comes to subjects taught in science class they can assume there's some base level of knowledge - and they can actually have a scientist as a guest and let them mention stuff like electrons, the scientific method, chemical reactions etc. (Even though they often also simplify things to a 5 year old level and say stuff like "If a nuclear plant was a human, uranium would be like a hamburger")

Software on the other hand is not taught to everyone in school - so they have to assume zero knowledge. 

Software is also abstract and invisible, unlike real world physics like explosions.

@Buffon guess what? Day is fine but i'm out of ice cream. Found out too late. No ice cream for me today. But I'm happy. I bought a batch of cigarettes for extra cheap and didn't try to smoke them yet. I tried them, and they're great. Also nice packaging without the annoying pictures on it. Normally a cigarette is 0,53 cents but now only 0,18 cents. I spend 180,- instead of 530,- for the same amount of cigarettes. That's nice, I became addicted to flavor liquids for the cigarette and they're very expensive. But now I have the cigarettes so cheap, I allow myself again to buy the flavors. Also, got warm coco and Fernandez. Don't think that Fernandez is known outside the Netherlands. They call it ****cola because foreigners drink it a lot. Magically, didn't have internet issues today. Since I have a new device on network, it's not very stable. I'm with 7 devices on one phone hotspot. I think it becomes too much for the phone.

I figure IT might behave as the "bell curve meme".

* For small companies they are quite chill and allow permissions to those who need it

* For mid-sized companies: they are tasked with increasing security so they become overconfident in attempts to enforce a restrictive policy. (And they might argue devs are a minority, and this is a necessity for all the non-dev employees)

* For a large company, with a larger dev org, they realise they gotta chill out and give more permissions to devs

This is just anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt

The best gift to give someone with no legs would depend on their individual preferences and interests. Some thoughtful gift ideas could include:

1. Custom prosthetic accessories or upgrades that can enhance their mobility and comfort.
2. Adaptive gadgets or tools to assist with daily activities and improve their quality of life.
3. Experience-based gifts such as tickets to a concert, show, or sporting event that they enjoy.
4. Personalized artwork or decor that celebrates their strength and resilience.
5. Gift cards to their favorite stores or restaurants.

Ultimately, the best gift is one that shows empathy, consideration, and support for their unique needs and preferences.

A white-collar employee typically refers to a professional or office worker who performs tasks that require mental or knowledge-based work. These employees often work in an office environment and generally have higher levels of education and skills compared to blue-collar workers. White-collar employees are typically involved in fields such as management, finance, sales, marketing, administration, and technology.

I mean, I have never really moved into nor out of AI.

AI, when not on the bleeding edge, is very basic math. (Sure, this might come from me being a physicist, but still, it's mostly basic statistics).

You don't need to understand how bleeding edge models work, but having some high level notions for the concepts will go a long way because whenever you have to dig deep you'll find it's not so alien.

What do I mean by this? 

Know what the problems are. 

Classification? Know what a SVM is, know what a multiclass is, know what KNN is. Not *how* they do it, *what* they do. 

Recommendation? Know what embeddings are, what vectorial databases are, etc.

LLM? They are basically glorified recommendators.

Knowing what they do (and what they *don't*) means you now know what solution fits your actual problem, and can get many off the shelf solutions (just like in web dev now).

I find C# tolerable nowadays, specially since .net core. 

WPF wasn't a bad idea IMO, but, in habitual Microsoft fashion, terribly executed. The concept is valid though (it's used now in many frontend frameworks).

@Papertrail said it perfectly. It's like they went the crapple way of "we know better".

Yet the foundation wasn't that terrible. I worked with WPF for a couple years and never hit a problem that I couldn't find both a designer side and a programmer side solution for.

That's the real value of these frameworks. In an ideal world where designers are not braindead figma flingers, and knew how to write (because XML ain't hard, fucking Spanish grammar is way harder), programmers would never fucking have to care about fucking frontend. 

And that'd be utopia.

If you can be the guy in your company that knows you just have to fire up opencv and write 100 lines of python, or fire up TF and write 100 lines of python (why do they all love python?), your company will see they don't need to pay a crapload of a subscription for a shitty service (and hopefully give you a well deserved raise based on the money you saved them).

sooo

I can't eat cured meats which sucks cuz they were my favourite thing. I think cuz nitrites

but turns out I also can't eat cheese which was driving me nuts. I bought havarti which is like no lactose and I can do milk fine. and it has good fats. and they don't add anything to it. so why am I getting fucked up by it?

yesterday I was watching my regular conspiracy theorist podcast... and it's fucked up.

apparently Pfizer, the same company that fucked me up with that COVID vaccine, makes something called rennet. it's necessary for milk to curdle so you can eat cheese. it's hard to produce -- actually it's produced from those same animals they're trying to feed methane-killing enzymes to destroy the bacteria of but I digress

Pfizer has cornered the rennet market and is now making 90% of the cheese. apparently they only got approval to be used legally in Canada in 2014! that's crazy though, in 10 years they have 90% of the market?

why did they need approval?

so this rennet is GMO

and I was going around and trying to figure out how can you have an allergic reaction to cheese. well turns out you can have an allergic reaction to GMO

GMO is genetically modified so it'll have all sorts of novel proteins swimming in it. immune systems recognize and attack proteins

these GMO people claim there's never been a case of allergy and they make sure to approve everything but that's bogus for various reasons:
- any genetic modification is a shotgun. there is literally randomly generated proteins in it, and you can't detect them all
- you can be allergic to proteins not found in nature. just because you exclude "known allergy causing proteins" doesn't mean people can't be allergic to it

... also I figured out why everyone has allergies. it's not aluminum in the vaccines persay. it's that in the 1980s they did GMO with the vaccines. so it's randomly generated proteins, that they train your immune system to attack

so vaccines leads to allergy to GMO

... relatedly, autism is an immune system trained to attack neurons: https://nature.com/articles/...

it only shows up in people who get tested positive for their immune systems (or their mothers') attacking neuronal tissue. severity correlates, and there's different subtypes like there are different neuron-types that have been found to get attacked by the immune system (I'm sort of piecing the pieces together but whatever)

and my first-hand experience with basically "suddenly becoming autistic" is mirroring that

also the profile of what autistic immune systems look like. their body goes into "allergy tolerance", and autism improves with age (because if your body develops tolerance to an allergy you'll cure the allergy), etc etc etc... and immune "healing" things seem to improve autism

That’s very weird though. Never had this issue on any device or simulator.

Was it like that all the time or did it start to occur recently?

@antigermanist If you have studied ergonomics then you would know that this is bullshit.
Light theme is causing eye strain only if you are sitting in a dark room.
In a bright environment, you can‘t see shit with dark mode.

This is the same reason why smartphones automatically increase brightness in bright environments and decrease it in dark environments. And also the same reason why automatic theme selection picks dark mode at night and light mode at day.

IT DEPENDS ON YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

So, unless you are sitting in a dark room all day long (which you shouldn’t do anyway since the human body needs some light), light theme is objectively better.

My Experience with a Broker Who Denied My Withdrawal and How I Got My Money Back

Web site Info: https: // ra pi ddigit alrecove ry .o rg

I wanted to share my story to help others avoid falling into similar traps. Online trading can be a rewarding venture, but it’s essential to choose a reputable and trustworthy broker. In cases where things go wrong, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. Rapid Digital Recovery was crucial in getting my money back, and I recommend reaching out to them if you ever find yourself in a similar situation. I also hope that those who support fraudulent brokers take responsibility for their actions, and that regulators and authorities take stronger steps to protect consumers from such dishonest practices. If you find yourself facing a similar situation, don’t hesitate to contact Rapid Digital Recovery. They are a reliable resource for anyone looking to reclaim their funds and hold rogue brokers accountable.

@Lensflare It says "safe" but still crashes. It makes me jump through hoops in its "help" with managing memory "For me". My non-swift software doesn't crash b/c of any memory handling... even when the machine runs out of RAM.  

Having the runtime engine to support Swift is grossly inefficient. Then top that off with Swift not supporting bit level operations beyond ANDing and ORing...gah

The Swift business of (_) is bizarre, along with the other use of special symbols that feels like ADA. I'm fluent in C, C++ Objective C, Pascal, ObjectPascal, FORTRAN, a half a dozen assembly languages and three machine languages (aka hex code). Swift tries to obscure the "Machine" and remove it from the language construct. That whole "optionals" and "unwrapping" thing it does which has no relationship to reality in the computer itself, drives me nuts.  In my mind it is a failure in the model of "not having to deal with memory". They need to learn from MS BASIC circa 1980s

@djsumdog I mean, if transpilation is fair game then you can write dynamic code for any platform. I'm not sure how the DLR works and I'm hesitant to learn .NET internals because despite market demand I don't want to become a .NET developer, but one way to implement dynamic with the base CLR would have been to just translate property access and method call into reflection.

@retoor yup!

So you'll need to have a custom http adapter to bind outgoing requests different ips. You'll need these different ips pre assigned to the outbound interface. 

If you don't use a custom adapter, the OS will pick a single IP to use for each request, regardless of how many are assigned.

That /48 has 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 ip address in it, so you'll have lots of different sources to play with

I was a dark theme user my whole life till I joined the workforce.

Everyone uses macbooks in my office, and their screens are reflective as hell. So when in dark mode, it's like you're looking at a fucking mirror with all those lights behind you staring at your soul. Also it's really annoying to focus since many lines would be covered up with the light reflections. That's why many of us prefer using light mode in the office.

Some good people take the initiative and turn off a few lights for the comfort and use dark mode. But as soon as the sun goes down, someone else will turn on the lights and it's all for nothing.

Some monsters would also switch to the secondary trash monitors just to use dark mode with their neck on the line since they come with anti reflective coating.

Well, it's a new one, though.

I previously had a notif of your earlier comment, but then the comment was not displayed.

I had been wondering about that.

Either way I finally managed to get the thing installed.

For some reason the installation would just stall when choosing an encrypted partition.

...to be fair, my HW for experimenting w/ OSs is !exactly top-notch.

Either way I'm currently setting the thing up.

They do indeed. 

As a Japanese speaker, it's because the kanji for "shi/yon" is derived from Chinese characters for death (root for shinu, death in Japanese), so it's very much like triskaidekaphobia.

@CoreFusionX That's cool to know.

You need to learn katakana, yes, but kanji should be part of your learning schedule really. Like, most teaching books have a companion workbook that teaches kanji as you learn words, and it's much easier when you learn the word with the kanji than if you do so after the fact.

Google translate ain't so good at Japanese as people think. 

It only covers textbook Japanese which is really really uncommon when speaking or writing. 

For example, kure is the informal form of kudasai, and you'll never see it in textbooks, but it's quite common in informal speech.

@netikras hmm, skikk is nice. I like this smol one: https://skikk.eu/nl/laptops/...

But it has Intel GPU. Don't know if is good for AI.

No this one, is even smoller:

I work on small screen with low resolution. Everyone with their high resolution and shit, don't get it. For sure you'll end up with glasses that way.

It's good for making hot chocolate, though. Other than that, it's just a flex for the producer. You don't really do anything else with 100% chocolate, because it includes high doses of theobromine, smaller doses of caffeine and tiny amounts of some other toxins you find in raw cacao.

@retoor Bank apps have it bad, though. The requirements put on those are insane, e.g. something as trivial as changing one letter in a linked PDF requires a whole new signed app release, because link targets have to be checksum controlled.

@cprn so I have another chocolate by this same brand and this one is 85%. I eat 80% dark chocolate so I figured it would taste normal and like I'm used ti

it does not. it tastes similarly disgusting

never heard of cocoa having toxins. just looked up theobromine and it says it tastes bitter. yeah that's EXACTLY how this chocolate tastes. are they trying to kill me

I'm actually sick but been getting better lately, and anything I eat if it's even slightly toxic I get dementia and headaches, and that happened when I ate the 100% chocolate but I thought it was a fluke because it was so uncharacteristically strong a reaction than what I'd expect. I thought I was unable to eat chocolate due to the sugar, not because cocoa is toxic. raaghhhh

I bought an organic brand to avoid toxic shit, which is more expensive, but turns out this has MORE toxic shit. grrrr. fucking. everything. is. poison.

I can't eat sugar cane but I can eat raw honey btw (at least for a while, not forever)

WHAT

GRRRR

theobromine is in tea. the tea leaves that make up dark teas and green tea. I could not drink them anymore and it was driving me NUTS. I've been trying to find a way to drink tea again for 2 fucking years and NOTHING says anything about toxic compounds in such teas. it's always lowers inflammation, healthy X and healthy Y. fucking hell I hate this "information" era where there is no fucking access to the information you're looking for

I forget what I was even complaining about

I was actually updating Linux packages lol

but a notable one is discord. there's no security concerns in discord (and I have a story about that but too lazy. they don't care about security)

also why the hell is vscode updating all the time. def not security

obsidian updating makes sense since they're still developing the app and I get excited every time

Vivaldi I ceased being excited ever since the tab stacks. now they have bugs they haven't fixed for several versions and I don't think their updates have been that meaningful. for every new change there's a 50/50 they're going to break something and not fix it for the next 2 years

also tho my gpu drivers broke somehow so I just plain uninstalled them. will care later. sigh

@retoor your screen looks like a tablet 😁 my nf210 seemed like that 😁 ant it's a netbook from the day when 1G rsm was enough for it all.

My prev laptop was an xps13 with 4k touchscreen. I miss 4k and touch. The only devices I've seen contain more on the screen were TVs. And still not all of them.

Even though my right eye is weaker, I loved the high-res screen. 

My green5 has 3k or so. I try to convince myself it's enough. Considering it's also a 13inch screen.

@Lensflare the guy that made node and Deno is a very cool guy btw. He's not the best presenter of his product, but it's cool that he did it himself. 

There are some differences tough regarding date formats. Cool that com still exists, that's really 90's tech right? What about some nice OCX components, you got those too?

@netikras he doesn't need a minion or spam to be downvoted. Some people have talent :P 

But no, minion doesn't downvote if you have more than 10 user score what streamii has. So the downvote procedure is quite safe. It only triggers when a NEW user says a forbidden word and that did only happen one time so far because some newby talked about the http protocol and the bot thought it was a link with spaces.

Edit: btw, you could've upvoted this ofcourse :P

Write your own webpack with blackjack and hookers. It's just concatting some scripts. I made a 'webpack' for C. It makes one big file of all local includes (with ", not with <>). I have a massive framework with many files but it gets compiled into one file only containing my code. No system libraries.

@jestdotty 😆 Well, not all toxins are bad, especially in small amounts. Your body actually needs mild stressors to improve its kung-fu for when it has to fight the real deal.

Take red wine. Drink half a bottle, and you might get drunk, maybe even get a hangover the next day, generally feel like crap. But drink a few sips to dinner every day, and it lowers the risk of cardiovascular issues, helps regulate cholesterol and insulin levels, can even help with weight lose.

The same goes for tea, coffee, even energy drinks, and yes — chocolate. All of them good in moderation, bad when overconsumed, and highly addictive in every scenario.

@cprn I think you actually inadvertently solved so many mysteries for me rn

my nervous system is hypervigilant I think and I've been having tons of issues because of it. guess it's trauma after all. I've always liked stress and stuff so it was driving me nuts I can't do the things I used to, like fucking drink tea that is actually considered relaxing like green tea. like come on!

I LIKE DANGEROUS THINGS AS A FORM OF STRESS RELIEF SO WHAT AM I TO DO OH MY GOD

ok I'm bitching. but I think I overtrained the vigilant response basically and it's on such a hair trigger pathetic stuff like theobromine is fucking with me

thaaaanks random guyyy! ❤️

@jestdotty Oh, yeah. Discord totally updates just because it has the built-in store, and they need new functionalities for promotions and so on. So literally nothing to get excited about — “we need you to install this update, because we've added yet another feature that tries to sell you something”. Most users don't even know it has a store. I'm pretty sure it used to have a games library as well (because Epic), but I can't find it now.

Also, I'm one of those freaks using Vim, so no idea what you're talking about in regard to those other apps.

Lack of a GPU driver sounds like an issue, though.
