I’ve watched anime for decades at this point, but nope. I can pick out words here and there, but it would severely limit my enjoyment of anime. Subtitles allow my brain to skip most of the hard work when it comes to learning a language, I don’t believe it will get better even if this goes on for another decade.

I also feel if I suffered through a couple of months of non-subtitled watching and put in the effort to process, understand and memorize what I’m hearing, it might eventually get better. But as long as I have access to subtitles, I don’t do any of that…

I mean, come on. We shit on redditors, but even redditors won’t stand for getting their iris’s scanned just to use the site…

In Singapore, lots of boomers are downloading scam apps from facebook lured by promises of discounts and free gifts, handing out accessibility privileges, and they’ll even argue vehemently against loved ones and bank staff when confronted. When it all inevitably blows up, they blame absolutely everyone except themselves, including praising Apple for some reason.

Being the largest voting block, they managed to get banks responsible for reimbursing their losses and there was even an idea floated of getting everyone to contribute to a shitty scam insurance fund. Many major banking apps are paranoid af and block usage from simple things like usb debugging turned on.

Absolutely stupidity. And there’s nothing we can do about it when the politicians love them so much.

Do you know if any tachi forks have bulk migration? I’m on aniyomi and it only support migrating individual titles. Given entire manga sites can collapse overnight, bulk migration is becoming an important feature.

NixOS consist of a bunch of options that you define using the nix programming language. Since it’s a programming language, everything is well defined and organised into single place.

Technically, someone could build a GUI configuration editor with sane defaults and clearly organised pages of settings, which generates a configuration for you. This could immediately change NixOS from the most tedious to a relatively easy to use distro.

They do, several third party options and of course the Microsoft store too. It’s the users who are stuck in their old ways, which ironically is the harder way. Weird.

He has a degree in industrial engineering according to Wikipedia, logical thinking should come naturally to him. My high school decades ago teaches logic gates for it’s computer literacy curriculum. He might not be a programmer, but probably has exposure to these topics in general education.

I mean no offence to you. But education departments these days assume “kids have phones and iPads and must be computer geniuses” and stop teaching general computer courses. That’s a problem.

At this point, I’m wondering if I should set up a shell company of some kind, just to buy commercial digital signage TVs. They require registering with a company just to be allowed to buy them.

I bet it’s not about the internet, just the social media apps. Why not just uninstall the apps or tell the participants not to use them?

Maybe he’s just not American? Isn’t that just an American thing?

Private company with long-term strategy VS public company chasing short-term profits to pump stock prices for shareholders.

This is perhaps more useful, serving as both checksum and data correction.

Not that it can fit in the blockchain though. At least from what little I know about blockchains, they can’t possibly store any substantial amount of data.

Hector posting it to social media, and by his own admission, to shame the C devs, is pretty hostile and bad faith too. Imo it’s the most overt occurrence of hostility here, but no one seems to mind? Are people just completely numb to social media hostilities or smth?

I really wanted to try developing for these. But after flashing my old poco F1 with postmarket os, the phone died instead. Now I can’t justify buying a phone just for this.

#!/usr/bin/python

I heard both flatpak and immutability are obstacles to developers. How bad is it really?

I’ve had NixOS absolutely refuse to run some compiler toolchain I depended upon that should’ve been dead simple on other distros, I’m really hesitant to try anything that tries to be too different anymore.

You’ll be glad to know that the difficulty comes from the syntax and very little from any programming skill level. You learn new ways of writing certain code structures like indented curly braces for example. Programming python might be easier than cpp in vim, not due to the language, but just cpp having more complex syntax to type.

Tldr, almost exactly the same amount of effort whether you’ve been coding for two weeks or two years.

I remember the basic filesystem commands like ls, cp, mv, rm, cat etc, but I generally don’t remember much more than that. Even so, I still use the GUI file manager/software center pretty often, there’s no reason why I have to force myself to use the terminal all the time.

I have an app on my phone to search for commands that I barely use and don’t remember. Don’t worry that much about it if you aren’t a professional system administrator or other such jobs.

The part you missed is that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. You could maintain 0-80, 20-100, 10-90.

You could also not take it as gospel but just a soft recommendation, trying to get yourself near to a charger when your phone gets to 20, and plugging out at 80 if you aren’t in urgent need for more battery life.

My laptop which mostly just stays on my desk all day, is limited to 79%. This one makes sense I think.

Why, when you have the ability to build robots of any shape or size, would you want to build a humanoid robot in particular? Are they just lacking creativity? Or is being humanoid just hype, like dotcom or AI?
