Rust dev, I enjoy reading and playing games, I also usually like to spend time with friends.

I think what they meant is nobody in management cares if someone wants to hold them accountable

Bit it's a nice picture, yeah

sukhmel ,

That's how it should be, not how it is

sukhmel ,

Nah, he should've just outlaw being unhappy, so that everyone would be happy

sukhmel ,

I think, e is silent in baked and not in naked. But that's kind of like Sean Bean

sukhmel ,

Besides, they say ‘read really old texts’ as if this is easily achieved right now, which it is not

sukhmel ,

Tortoise might be fine too

sukhmel ,

It's the only video in their account on RedGifs, that is linked in their profile description

sukhmel ,

Agree, setting up rustfmt and then battling other developers about it's settings is not very fun. But having a standard tool with configurable settings that can be stored right in the repository is immensely better than not

sukhmel ,

I'm just glad he got away with that, however stupid they might be, they are also dangerous :(

sukhmel ,

I don't know much about JS but I managed to get 10/28

More than once I just went with whatever seems unlikely, but not too unlikely to be logical answer. Using this in production seems fitting only for courageous and strong-willed

sukhmel ,

Most of what I know comes from this educational video 🦇

sukhmel ,

I think there's just too many unfinished features and issues to also start working on GUI

sukhmel ,

notice of pre-aquisition audit, something legal from Texas

context

I was searching for a fitting response and found this, took me long enough to realise it was not a meme, so I decided it kinda fits ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

sukhmel ,

There's no definition in dictionary, but here's what Wikipedia cites for what to call a yacht: https://www.boats.com/on-the-water/when-is-a-boat-also-a-yacht/

This is arbitrary, and just an illustration of how anyone would call what they want a yacht. 24 meters is nowhere required, and this discussion repeats again and again

sukhmel ,

I created a file with backspace in name, it was hard to understand why filename doesn't match

sukhmel ,

For me it says 85 is needed, and it seems to stop once I fall below 80%, so it always ends on 80% exactly

Edit: OK, I'm not sure if it becomes easier over time, like when chess pieces become queens, but I managed to beat it with 87%

sukhmel ,

I used the first diagram, but the second seems more helpful. 64th was around five lines down the second step from top, the only important thing is that it's not split between several lines:

photo from 1963 with floor 64 marked

1963 Press Photo Diagram of fire damaged floors of Empire State Building

schematic design with some floors marked

schematic of empire state building floor numbers

sukhmel ,

The first one is genuinely impressive

I thought it's just a matter of colour count, but maybe you need more loops? Mine had more loops, I think, and after third colour it passed

Which stage are you at?

Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls “the plateau of sustainability”

sukhmel ,

I went from Debian to Mint

although…

… now I'm thinking about switching to NixOS and it's not even there.

But then again, I feel like my confidence is lower than my competence, and I really like things that require less tinkering nowadays

sukhmel ,

Now you're just repeating what @x4740N@lemmy.world avatar x4740N said, how dare you

sukhmel ,

I expected you to end the phrase two words earlier

Yes, I did spend time on this

Did you ever saw a char and thought: "Damn, 1 byte for a single char is pretty darn inefficient"? No? Well I did. So what I decided to do instead is to pack 5 chars, convert each char to a 2 digit integer and then concat those 5 2 digit ints together into one big unsigned int and boom, I saved 5 chars using only 4 instead of 5...

sukhmel ,

Funny how they have a typo in test vectors:

0x0000 -> babab
0xFFFF -> zvzuz
0x1234 -> damuh
0xF00D -> zabat
0xBEEF -> ruroz

sukhmel ,

Depending on the use-case you might also want to add special case value like Redkey did in their example, and get kind of UTF-8 pages. Then you can pack lowercase to 5 bits, and uppercase and some special symbols to 10 bits, and it will be smaller if uppercase are rare

sukhmel ,

Sorry for the off-topic, but what's with those weird typos? Are you also trying to ‘poison’ AI that will be trained on the comments?

sukhmel ,

Despite this being a question for everyone to answer on their own, continuously failing risky bets and losing everything to it does not look like it will be a popular answer

sukhmel ,

Not popular = nobody wants that, not because others don't want that, it's because what each will not choose on their own

Of course, your mileage may vary

sukhmel ,

Yeah, I didn't know Mint uses it and spent an hour trying to understand how to configure alsa and why my configuration looks correct but doesn't do what I want (swap front channels)

sukhmel ,

His skin colour is maybe mentioned, because being white rich male is peak privileged, although also being a governor somewhere or having a seat in government would be even better

sukhmel ,

They removed assembly support 3 days ago, too 🤣

sukhmel ,

That is assuming they were not using a screen reader that just read ‘image, Ezekiel 23:20’ to them, which is current alt text

sukhmel ,

A picture of [allegedly] mother, sitting behind a young girl with a contempt smile. The girl also smiles as she looks into an open red book titled ‘ʜᴏʟʏ ʙɪʙʟᴇ’

Overtext:

Ezekiel 23:20

"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." [seems to be cited from New International Version]

sukhmel , (edited )

Yes, that was my point, kinda 🤔

sukhmel ,

And yet they are not a firearm

I've seen people using fireworks as firearms on the streets, there's no sense in measuring distance from being a proper firearm, imo

sukhmel ,

Okay, so I was wrong

Edit: it doesn't even state that it should be close to usable, just that it resembles closely enough. So I admit to being wrong but now I don't understand your point of it being almost a firearm

sukhmel ,

That will probably end bad even if it was a banana pointed at a cop

sukhmel ,

Because unstoppable 🦀

spoiler

But I guess it was a joke here

sukhmel ,

That may have a very adversarial effect on health

sukhmel ,

The closest unoccupied space appears to be a safe in the wall

sukhmel ,

Makes me curious as to what happened here

sukhmel ,

like replacing V wið F

Better replace U with V, to dovble the confvsion

sukhmel ,

I don't quite get what sense does ‘the flinch’ in the title have beyond being a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It reads as if it was something bad, but the post is just a list of thanks

sukhmel ,

I've read one of their links, and although it shows Orwell to be an asshole, racist, bigot, and anti-Stalin; it still doesn't make sense as a ground for other statements, especially him being imperialist.

I would think that the whole thing comes from conflating communism and whatever the Soviets were doing, and if anyone thinks that USSR was not the heaven on earth, they are damned

sukhmel ,

Now that their comment is deleted, it looks twice as █████

sukhmel ,

This phenomenon is particularly strong in people who do not use such words on a regular basis

But you have to keep it for the bad day

sukhmel , (edited )

You mean things like this?

It seems flying the English flag is now as transgressive as posting you're not a big fan of mass immigration on Facebook. And given that the latter is already likely to land you in trouble with the increasingly authoritarian state, it seems likely that the former might soon too.

I'm not exactly using Xitter, and his blog looks like a lot of reading only to find out who DHH is

Edit: oh, it seems like not much reading was needed, I'm starting to see your point after reading how good it feels to be in the Reagan's era again:

[L]et me tell you about the 80s. They were amazing. America was firing on all cylinders, Reagan had brought the morning back, and the Soviet Union provided a clear black-and-white adversarial image. But it was the popular culture of the era that still fills me with hiraeth.

[…]

It feels like we're finally emerging from this constant 90s Seattle drizzle to sunny 80s LA vibes in America. The constant pessimism, the cancellation militias, and the walking-on-eggshells atmosphere have given way to something far brighter, bolder, and, yes, better. An optimism, a levity, a confidence.

sukhmel ,

No True Scotsman, ey?

sukhmel ,

Or it could melt. Not exactly sure if it could realistically, though

sukhmel ,

Only if the crate she comes from has her properly exposed
