AutoTL;DRTL;DR

Lol I love how they completely ignore the real Reddit placements like Lemmy and Kbin in favor of “web3” crypto bullshit 🙄

Yeah you don’t need blockchain to have an open, collaborative, community driven social media platform. In fact every blockchain + something project I’ve very seen would work just as well or better if you removed the blockchain part haha.

I’m glad they shut it down. An inaccurate tool is worse than no tool, especially if teachers are using it to check student essays and punishing students for false positives…

Even just more generally, people were trusting these detection tools not realizing how inaccurate they were, which causes huge problems both due to false positives and false negatives. Better to remove the useless tools now and work on a better solution, if one is even possible which I’m not sure it is.

Sounds like they’re not doing their work during the week and letting it pile up, then doing it on the weekend and somehow that gets them promoted? I don’t really get it.

I’ve been using Namecheap for years and have been happy with it. Why do you prefer Cloudflare? Is it for easier integration with Cloudflare services? How’s the pricing compared to Namecheap?

Sorry for the interrogation lol

That’s the problem, a lot of CS professors never worked in the industry or did anything outside academia so they never learned those lessons…or the last time they did work was back in the 90s lol.

Doesn’t help that most universities don’t seem to offer “software engineering” degrees and so everyone takes “computer science” even if they don’t want to be a computer scientist.

I haven’t don’t much programming in Rust yet, but just based on the syntax and apparent complexity (at least it looks quite complex to an outsider like me) it always seemed more like “C++ but better” rather than “C but better”.

I view all of them equally negatively in the sense that I don’t care about them at all. When I’m hiring I’m looking at experience, not pieces of paper (certs or degrees). More corporate companies probably do care more though, at least in the automated portion of their hiring funnel.

Though with that said, from anecdotal experience, a lot of certifications tends to be a red flag as I’ve found those to usually be the weakest candidates.

For standard software development jobs I think they’re completely unnecessary, but I could see something like an AWS cert being valued for a dev-ops job though I’ve never hired for dev-ops so I can’t speak from experience there…

Some crypto bullshit

I read the TL;DRs knowing what was going to happen only to continue reading and feel physical pain. What’s wrong with me…

Ideally Pihole should actually speed up your connectivity by blocking all of the tracking and ad connections your browser and apps would normally make. Since it’s basically just a DNS server, it doesn’t take much horsepower to run either.

I guess it’s not so much “hosting” as having it on your home NAS with some scripts to backups channels and videos that you like. At least that’s what I do.

Thought I should make a point to mention youtube-dl is dead, yt-dlp is the replacement and it works great. Even has a command line flag to make its options work the same as the options in youtube-dl so it can be a drop in replacement for existing scripts.

It’s a poorly written sentence (not surprising as it’s The Verge lol) but I think they mean they lost 80% of traffic from Louisiana when they started enforcing age verification in that state which is why they now just block access entirely to states that enact these laws instead of bothering with the age verification.

Project lead (or maybe one of them I’m not sure) just left too: https://stgraber.org/2023/07/10/time-to-move-on/

As I’ve told colleagues and upper management, Canonical isn’t the company I excitedly joined back in 2011 and it’s not a company that I would want to join today, therefore it shouldn’t be a company that I keep working for either.

Ouch lol

I'm glad I saw this comment because I was also about to skip it, but found the article to be a worthwhile read as well. Thanks for sharing it.

These prices look very reasonable. I started a project in Godot 4 that I want to eventually get on the Switch (and other consoles), so this is exactly what I was looking for!

You can still see the count on their Floatplane page here: https://www.floatplane.com/...

As of time of this comment it’s at 36396 and still slowly trending down. It started at over 42000 when the GN video came out.

I mean, technically it’s the other 2 out of 10 that are wrong…🙃

HTML, the programming language, is a practical, turing-complete[1], stack-based programming language based on HTML, the markup language. It uses elements defined in HTML, the markup language, in order to do computations.
