If it gets any more powerful, it might be able to solve the halting problem.

Idk man, kids can adapt to pretty much any condition. It’s mostly other people’s reactions that make it hard. I don’t think you make that better by saying they’re justified in their prejudices.

Edit: Crap, I didn’t realize this was about you. I stand by it though.

Heck em. I’ve known people with similarly traumatic childhoods who turned out to be amazing — quirks and all.

There’s so much more time than you realize, and Future You™ will have a very different attitude about this stuff after you get some distance from it.

Based on some similar experience: low millions per year.

Skeleton crew of devs+ITS to keep the lights on, software licensing, hardware costs, customer support, financial oversight, legal oversight and occasional compliance efforts.

Probably a good amount of technical and organizational friction involved, too, for whatever services, knowledge bases, and corporate policies were shared between the Wii U and Switch.

It seems stupid when you compare it to the fact that Pretendo probably pays about 1% as much, but that’s just how businesses work.

I reflexively hated the light streaks at first, but then I thought about it and realized I’ve never seen the speed of ISS orbit represented in a photo before and that’s kinda cool, especially juxtaposed with the Milky Way detail that was only possible with the very same long exposure that produce the streaks.

Idk. Space usually looks pretty still and tranquil, so having that and a sense of fast movement in the same shot is pretty cool I guess.

“Best ever” though? Hell, what does that even mean? It’s a cool photo, let’s just leave it at that.

Oh shit. New Freya dropped?! On AI?!?!?!

Anything she uploads is well worth an hour or two of my time.

If you get the washer, don’t slack on safety. That shit’ll mess you up in a millisecond.

Why has there been no progress on this? Schedule more meetings!

Oh wow. Yeah, I always think of Chrome as having been around much longer, but you’re right.

Probably not a coincidence that the share plummets around the same time as the smartphone explosion.

I’d be curious to see just desktop browsers, to see how much there’s really an exodus of Firefox users vs. new devices being added that restrict third-party browsers.

Also salary should be inflation-adjusted.

Neither probably changes the graph too much though.

Descenders

Idk why. Well, I do know why: I grew up in an era where Flash games started to do physics-based gameplay, and something about that just made them endlessly replayable and easy to do while focusing on something else like a lecture or whatever.

So many games these days demand your full attention. And that’s great, when you have time for it. But if I just have 45 minutes to derp around while I catch up with friends on Discord, I can’t dive into an epic boss fight that I was prepping for a month ago.

I can’t afford Covid Pro, so I have to watch ads

Probably, but they don’t really have to. Exploiting the OS itself is way better.

I’d say that’s pretty typical. Nobody wants to pester or to leave someone hanging, but that timeframe is different for every relationship.

I’d recommend some Scott Galloway. He’s an advocate for young men, but he’s not one of those toxic manosphere types. He’s not exactly a leftist, but he’s certainly a liberal by today’s standards.

My most successful standups have been like:

“Okay, we’re all here. Anyone wanna take a look at anything together?”

“I need some help with XYZ. Alice, can you take a look?”

“Sure.”

“Anything else? No? Alright, let’s do it.”

Typically less than 2 minutes of whole-team time, at our desks. Really just a reserved pivot point where it’s okay to interrupt each other’s tasks to ask for some pairing time. Sometimes an unofficial second one would happen after lunch.

Oh boy, some timely propaganda.

People getting put on the no-fly list cuz of racial profiling, I guess?

That sounds…

Easier to get almost right than actually learning the subject.

Much, much harder to get completely right than actually learning the subject.

So yes, basically the archetypal use case for LLMs.

I was using the mobile app.

A couple months ago, I logged into an old Reddit account. It only took a few minutes of scrolling before it happened.

I had to scroll back up and try again, and record my screen so I could doublecheck my count later.

35 ads or “recommended” posts (i.e. not from anything I subscribed to) in a row.

I’m curious what that means for the overall percentage of the average user’s feed.

Edit: Okay yall… I appreciate all of the free technical support, but it’s really not needed. I was just documenting some findings.

But since everyone is so concerned about improving my Reddit experience, here are a few things to consider:

• I’m a mobile dev, so I don’t mind enduring a shitty UX for the sake of finding out what other companies are doing with their apps. If I’m going in with a mindset of curiosity, it really doesn’t bother me. In fact, I want to see the worst parts.
• Even if I had been going in just to have a pleasant scrolling experience, the reason I opened Reddit at all is because my wife had my phone for a while (due to toddler nonsense, we had swapped phones and she was stuck sitting in the hallway for a few minutes) and she had decided to open the app, so the decision of app vs. website was kinda made for me already.
• Even if she had considered using the website instead, I wasn’t logged in because I only use private browsing (again, mobile dev, so when testing web flows I like to make sure there is no saved web data).
• Even if I was already logged in, it’s an iPhone. While I do use an ad-blocker, the ad-blocking capabilities of Safari are pretty limited, so I’m not sure it would’ve improved much.
• Even if I was on Android, I’d probably still not have any extensive ad-blocking enabled, because I want to stay relatively vanilla in my setup to reduce confounding factors when testing.
• Even if there was a genuine opportunity here for my setup to be improved… I didn’t ask for that, and swarming people with “have you considered doing it the right way?” when they’re just making a basic observation doesn’t create a great atmosphere for the overall Lemmy experience.
