Get big and it’ll come there too. Lemmy is pure internet, for better or worse.

We have not the luxury, the gay, the space nor the communism. My dreams… shattered.

Tone down the conspiracy theory angle. It’s lemmy, you can get more interaction by mentioning capitalism rather than censorship.

It kinda comes out of the experience. There’s an outstanding Github issue that notes that a specific version of YT Music is broken past a certain version. Most of the patches fail to apply and you just get the minor ones. You can use the version just before with no issues. How can you litigate against lines of code that don’t even work? This is similar to the vulnerability that Yuzu gave up since they offered Patreon-exclusive updates to support a leaked BOTW:TOTK .iso. Easy to prove your intent there.

Oh this? It’s just a binary of assorted diffs and plugins to a yet unspecified target apk. Why yes, I will use the end product for personal, non-commercial use.

Some poor mfer’s shitty regex just got put on blast at a Twitter emergency software dev meeting.

So it’s not that the Volkswagen cheated on the emissions test. It’s that running the emissions test (as part of the building process) MODIFIED the car ITSELF to guzzle gas after the fact. We’re talking Transformers level of self modification. Manchurian Candidate sleeper agent levels of subterfuge.

Oh shit we’re doing this again.

YT video I learned this from.

Look man, I ain’t an social media manager but 20,000$ is 20,000$.

From a software engineering view: Lots of rebuilding the wheel, now with Internet Explorer dependencies. Large tech firms are more and more bureaucratic rather than innovative. Startups slurp up VC funding for the next 200 or so unicorn investments. NVIDIA is THE ENTIRE S&P 500 at this rate with SERIOUS “Peak of Inflated Expectations” valuation. Elon Musk.

All the while the majority of the job is fixing the mistakes of the past, of yourself and of some code monkey in 2003. There’s this theory that code replicates the structure of the design team. When that team spans an entire corporate hierarchy with SCRUM standups every 2.5 milliseconds, you wonder if you could do the equivalent of the ending of Office Space to the codebase.

I’m sorry, I’m just… anyway, a sage piece of advice. For the love of all that is holy, write requirements BEFORE doing validation for Aerospace applications, and DO NOT OUTSOURCE THE REQUIREMENTS WRITING. That is all.

It’s one thing to be evil, but it’s another thing to be evil AND incompetent. Do one or the other, never both. Don’t do a Russia worse than Russia. People are counting on us to do the right thing after we exhaust all of the alternatives.

Without giving them the benefit of the doubt, it’s because they are being processed through the Israeli military court system.

Wait, military court system? Give me a sec here. Let’s check Wikipedia… Hmm…

Modeled on the British military court system?!?

1967-87: One in three Palestinians detained… 500,000… Children and women pleading with soldiers…

Indefinite administrative detention without trial… “secret evidence”…coercion…

Ok, claims of physical torture, lack of education, defacto denial of lawyers…

You know, I didn’t know what I was expecting from an entry called Palestinian prisoners in Israel, but I feel sick just reading this…

I, for one, enjoy mutilating established meme formats with the stylings of a more classic meme

Valley bullshit aside, I do have to defend the expensive exploration of the generalized AI space purely because it’s embarassingly parallel. That is, it just gets so much better the more money and resources you throw at it. It couldn’t solve math without a few million dollars worth of supercomputer training time. We didn’t know it would create valid VHDL-to-csv-to-VBA scripts, but I got phind(.com) to make me one. And I certainly can’t tell Wolfram Alpha to package the math solution it generated as a Javascript function.

It’s a cylinder.
