I don’t have a link or full context, but it turned out that the dev of tessaract (open source program for fediverse sites, involving at least spam and blocking tools) had a functionality in the program that fetched their own block list from their site. But this blocksite was blocking a huge amount of users, fediverse domains, and anything with any keywords which would be anything political, some porn/sexual terms like Yuri, and lots more. This block was completely invisible the ones running the program and would also give fediverse instances that were blocked a generic failed to connect error instead of saying blocked, preventing the fediverse instances from talking.

Seeing the above, it seems like the dev didn’t handle this discovery in any good way either and retaliated but doing this ddos thing.

I support knowing SIMD, but I think it’s worth mentioning that with good design depending on language and compiler you can get SIMD for free by auto vectorization.

At least Rust does this, and let’s you get away not touching explicit SIMD at all. It’s of course more fragile since you don’t always know if it’s done or not, and they can be skipped for minor changes in code and a, but with good loop hygiene you’ll get a lot of it for free.

For truly fast implementations though, handmade SIMDis usually better and faster if done correctly. And can do much more than auto vectorization can.

I’m still quite new to Linux, using CachyOS (arch). What’s the best alternative to AUR, I saw someone mention Flatpak because it is at least somewhat sandboxed. Anyone have some best practices given AUR doesn’t seem to good of a choice?

Sorta first time Linux user, picked CachyOS because it came with friendly installer and startup install guide/automation. Unlike last time i tried Linux to run some python project on the GPU I never managed to install CUDA.

CachyOS promised out of box support, wine/proton directly, and the selection of default tools got me far along the Windows migration. So far no issues even compiling programs that need CUDA drivers and more. Haven’t really gamed a lot, but this OS is supposed to be good for that.

Lumine(boot manager) on my PC remembers the last boot choice, so when I choose windows it keep going to that until I choose Linux again. Have about 5 seconds to press a button before it auto starts. Seems like the most sane alternative here.

Adversarial reviews are also great ways to prune bad ideas and assumptions from plans. Have helped me out greatly and made the better LLMs often go “plan said do X, but doing that is a unknown huge risk that may take longer then the rest of the plan”.

The superpowers plugin does the brainstorm, qa, design plan, implementation plan, implement, review quite well. It should aid the process of actually doing feature type work. I also add adversarial reviews into the process, saves a lot of time debugging what went wrong after implementation.

I have shitty music taste, and ended up downloading nightcore songs from YouTube. And the videos were usually named “Nightcore - song title”. So chances of duplicate songs end up a lot higher when the only unique thing is the title of the song…

They had different names like (1) if they were duplicates. But all my files were named something like “Artist - title.mp3”, and the Metadata tag for artist and title were generated based on the filename. I don’t know how they would look after being synced over to my phone from Spotify though, but it is probably how Spotify names the files that broke it on my phone.

All the files were in the same folder on my pc too, for reference. So they have unique filenames, but two files could have the exact same artist and song title. I give that’s it’s an obscure edge case, but really frustrating.

Not sure if it fully fits, but one of my old HTC android phones has a bug where it would randomly fail any network request, by just never finishing it. No timeouts either.

It never got fixed. Loading a page in the browser, got stuck, and would need a new refresh. Some apps like Baconreader would get stuck doing the same, any app could have it happen. But sometimes the stars align, Facebooks Messenger had (has? don’t see it anymore) the chat bubbles that showed over whatever else on the screen. And i clicked one of those, and they got stuck loading. And there was literally no way to close it. There was no timeouts, so i eventually had to hold the power button and reboot…

Other notable mentions, Spotify on android did not handle duplicated files (since you could add your own music to it) with the same filename or at least artist - title metadata. It would always only play one of them. It was very interesting because Spotify on pc worked, so i could play the second track fine there, but if i told it to continue play through my phone then it would continue form the same timestamp on other track… Might be related to my phone being stupid, but there was a whole range of infuriating spotify issues. So i just moved to use poweramp and store and sync local music since i had a lot there to begin with .

Fork it so i have my version, regardless if the original goes away. (Assuming Github doesn’t nuke all repos of course like they did with youtube-dl for a while)

I principally agree with you, it’s why I use reddit/lemmy and not 4chan.

But there is a difference, albeit hard to convey correctly through text. But I think some of the extreme responses mentioned are the ones in the banter type. It’s a kind of response when someone jokingly says “Star Wars and Star Trek is pretty much the same” and you go “I’ll skin you alive” due to the unjust comparison. It sure as hell don’t work with strangers, but it can within an community since everyone knows neither party is serious about it. Which is what the original post kind of says that it can work in the right community.

I’d expect modern cars to use proximity detection which means the fob only needs to be with you.

Like my Peguot has a fairly large fob, but it’s just in the pocket of my jacket. Never leaves it. I guess it’s a problem if you don’t have a semi permanent thing like a jacket you use every day though.

Github actually does that too, in some cases at least.

Try making a list without copying every time you add something. Mutability matters then. Imagine copying 10000 elements, or copying 10000 references to items every time something were to be added or changed.

I’m still a windows pleb, so no Zed for me. Fleet I haven’t heard of before.

I’m also very much one that likes a lot of convenience. RustRover is know from experience with both pycharm and Rider. But my main points are convenient functionality, autocomplete, debugger, code navigation, formatting and cleanup and git diff readily available. RustRover might be big and heavy, but it let’s me focus on writing and running my code without much issues.

The following isn’t any professional advice or anything, I am writing HTML manually for my hobby blog code. I don’t have much experience with HTML outside occasionally reading it.

I write a bit by hand, to layout my blog page, which is using HTMX. Generally I use RustRover since that actually gives details for attributes and such along with autocomplete. And apparently yesterday it asked if I wanted to enable HTMX support, which was even more intriguing. The main articles are however converted from markdown to HTML.

I do want a better way to design with preview of my page but I think it’s a long shot to find something that does HTMX at the same time. Especially since that often means having segregated pieces of HTML mixed into one document at page loading.

I’m not saying there will be mass deportation, indefinite detainment, and possibly executions of unwanted people, but they sure are lining up for it. For example ramping up execution of sexual predators, while at the same time labelling LGBT and drag as being predators, just for existing near children…

Like if Elon is a nazi, then we may very well see a DOGE squad hunt down “un-American” people in the darkest timeline.

I made a super basic blog by hand using actix-web. Basic processing of markdown into HTML and then present it through handmade (and chatgpt assisted) html+css with htmx to spice things up and try to do mimic a single page application. I don’t have much web experience though, so much of it is crude.

I don’t host myself yet, I used Shuttle which procides free hosting for hobby rust projects. It also comes with postgres so I have been looking into how to move from storing articles in files to a database for more consistent article support. Shuttle also supports other things than actix-web, so you don’t havr to use that specifically.

While I said blog, I don’t support new articles without a redeploy yet… And it only has like 3 random articles based on reddit posts. But it works at least.

Because I want to be a God.

It’s a bit of hyperbole, but I was using some program on my pc and was frustrated because it didn’t do things I wanted it to do. Or it had bugs, and there was no way for me to get that changed, so I was left to pray that somehow the creator would find this small problem and fix it. I was envious of those people that could make these windows with buttons that made things happen. I wanted this power that transcended what I could see on my screen, and change how that world worked.

And so, I learned to program. I took the powers to shaped my own creations and ascended.

Then you have a bit more to do yeah, you should look into object oriented programming and classes. Classes are pretty much everywhere in C#. At the beginner level they aren’t as bad as they seem but you need to understand it’s basics. The guide I linked in another comment also has short introduction to using a class for example.
