fraud charges for anyone claiming it to be non fiction and censorship similar to what porn gets for religious media
I'd like a single atheist state where Palestine and Israeli have equal rights but religion is strictly outlawed. But I wouldn't kill people to achieve that, so I think my endgame isn't gonna happen
No, I didn't anticipate significant backslash. The criticism of Wikipedia is valid, but I'm comparing it to the raw stream of BS I get on social media, not to an idealistic vision of what wikipedia should be
When there is a heated, with a lot of strong and exaggerated arguments on both sides, and I don't know what to believe, or I'm overwhelmed with the raw information, I look at Wikipedia. Or even something that is not a current event, but the information I found on the internet doesn't feel reliable.
I'm sure some would find flaws there, but they do a good job of keeping it neutral and sticking to verifiable facts.
When I want to read something relatively well verified and unbiased I reach for Wikipedia. They are doing a better job than any other source I found on the internet so far on keeping things clear of BS
I guess it wasn't about the price for you then
consciousness is just an illusion. the only hard problem is people trying to make reality fit into their beliefs instead of the other way around
The trade-offs probably aren't the same for developed and 3rd world countries. I want the free public schools to be as good as they can and have the private ones too
you need to at least be able to explain what is wrong. a "this is bad" criticism is just frustrating
I don't think it was ever born to have died. I think they grossly overestimated how much this tech would improve
Everything’s generative-AI, GANs, LLMs… now, which do not produce any value,
hey, I think my LLM satire news thing is cool, at least I have fun with it
better things exist, but nothing is ever perfect.
it would be better to learn to dettach your self-esteem from the job. think on work like the chore it is, like taking out the trash and washing dishes, something you do to pay the bills
I took decades of experience plus adhd medication and depression medication to get where I am. I still feel annoyed to be using tech I don't like and doing stuff I don't like, but I'm handling it a lot better now
there is a lot of full remote software dev jobs in the US, but they advertise them here in South America and India, for 20% to 50% of what they pay for americans
Government doing everything works better when the government has enough money for it, our taxes, with an already high tax burden, makes about 100 usd for person/month IIRC. There is no policy that will work around that
Oh, Bolsonaro is gone, now we have Lula, moving from the extreme right to the extreme left. He wouldn't kill public education, just intensify the communist propaganda that already happens there
I don't think there is a good answer for that, but someone will have to take hamas down. I don't blame the Palestine people for not dying trying to take them down, and I don't blame Israel for doing it either.
On what they should do about Israel, almost any kind of protest you can imagine would give better results than the shit hamas is doing.
They could throw poo on baloons on Israel direction. They could invade dressed weirdly and throwing pies or water on the face of Israelis. Anything that would make them annoyed, think on the problem, and that had the chance of bringing people to their side instead inviting a war they won't win.
Hamas isn't there to solve the problem. They knew from the start what reaction it would cause and that it wouldn't improve palestinian lives or piece. They wanted to make things worse to keep relevant for the people that want war
Dunno, I live in Brazil, I'm used to things not working. Getting from here to what they have in Finland is unlikely
I won't say any war is justified from the comfort of my couch
this shitty false dichotomy again, the options aren't just dying or murdering civilians, but I would rather just die than murder random civilians in a party anyway
I love the convenience of not having to create a password everywhere I need to be authenticated. It would be interesting to be able to use lemmy instead of feeding more information to these big corporations.
I read a lot of people on reddit's r/adhd were they suffer with ADHD (or something similar, as they aren't diagnosed) but can't afford it. I read one that said they spend over US$ 1000 and had to stop looking because of the price.
I'm Brazilian, on the Brazilian private care, I was paying around 60USD for 1h talking to a doctor. A doctor that is fluent in English will probably charge more to treat international patients.
My full diagnose took around 10 visits, so it wasn't super cheap in comparison, but it was very through. I can share a translated version of the report I got on private message if anyone is curious.
edit: I created the I created !adhd_resources@lemmy.fbmac.net as suggested by @MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.world
All these posts about async are making the freedom to choose our runtime seem like a bad thing.
For most people, we can just accept Tokio as the de facto standard, and everything is good. Having the other runtimes only makes things better. Don't do anything weird and it won't be too much work if you need to change.
Any big change you miss is bound to either be implemented in Tokio or be too different for any abstraction to save you from the work.
If you're writing a library that you want to be reusable by everyone, I understand your frustration that it's not easier to make it universal for all async runtimes. You can still choose one, minimize the code you would have to change to implement others, and appreciate that in almost every other programming language you don't get more than one async engine anyway.
This is just an anedoctal observation, don't generalize based on just this. It's something I've been thinking for a while.
I've been on development since the end of the 90s. I noticed that in the last positions, I did much more interviews for higher level languages then for C and C++, but got jobs on the fewer interviews that were looking for C and C++.
There's many other variables, I think more than half the ones I landed I had strong referrals from people that already worked with me.
The referrals were the most important thing to bypass being poor at interviewing, but with C++ it is a smaller world around here, and there is less people to compete with the referrals themselves. There isn't as many people that you reference for those.
I'm wondering what other modern languages I should build experience on to future proof myself a little better.
I like Rust, I'm using it in some smaller things. I didn't see much of it out of the blockchain market until I noticed Lemmy.
There is Golang love the idea that they focus on fast build times. At my current job I have projects that take 1h to 4h to compile on C++, if it was golang it would be so much better.
The stackoverflow survey says that Clojure is the most well paid programming language. Chances are it got it's status for both being niche and having positions available for it, that is a good signal that they could hire someone that is bad at interviewing (probably not with the salary they said on the stackoverflow survey).
I suspect Closure isn't easy to move into. Being niche and the language that pays better, something is keeping people away from it, and I don't know what it is yet.
I think my interview/offer ratio is somewhere below 1%. One factor that you probably guessed is I have very low social skills, well documented in my psychological evaluation that I did to diagnose my ADHD.
I started learning programming about as a preschool kid, in the 8 bits era, then did some Visual Basic desktop apps, C, .NET, embedded C payment devices, vehicle plate recognition systems, backend of payment systems, android programming, etc.
Changing that much was probably a bad thing, as a senior any position I attempt I'll be competing with people that is focused on the same stack for years.
All the best positions ask for fluent english and my pronunciation is not that good, and I'm 44 years old now.
There is no chance I'll move up to management because of said social skills.
This is aparently good information fit for here, but the original post had a flame-war-starting tone and was in an inappropriate community, so I asked GPT-4 to rewrite it in a better tone and I'm crossposting it here.

Trash Management: More Than Just an Environmental Cause
A common misconception regarding garbage disposal is that advanced techniques are exclusive to a few top-performing countries in recycling and waste handling. This post is aimed at debunking such notions by emphasizing the equally remarkable potential and economic viability of modern waste management strategies. You might be surprised to learn how technologically achievable and profitable it can be!

Sweden's Approach - Turning Trash to Treasure
In Sweden, we subscribe to the school of thought that trash has value. Here, only a meager 1% of waste ends up in landfills. The rest is processed effectively - we recycle about 47% and incinerate approximately 52%.

Addressing Concerns: Is Incineration Environmentally Sound?
You might be alarmed to hear that we burn so much waste, raising questions about the environmental implications, like air quality. Here's where technology steps in. We apply advanced methods to clean the fumes effectively. Further, the residue from incineration is either repurposed or responsibly disposed of in strictly controlled landfills.
Moreover, we convert the energy from waste into a substantial power source. Burning 4 tons of waste generates an amount of energy equivalent to burning 1 ton of oil. Consequently, this method heats a million homes via district heating and powers 250,000 homes.

The Reality of Plastic Recycling
Let's discuss plastic recycling, a topic often laden with misconceptions. Contrary to popular belief, it is indeed possible and profitable to recycle nearly all types of plastics.
In Sweden, "Swedish Plastic Recycling AB" undertakes the majority of our plastic recycling. As we speak, they are constructing the world's most extensive plastic recycling facility, Site Zero. This largely automated system will handle the entire country's plastic waste and categorize and recycle multiple types of plastics, including PP, HDPE, LDPE, PET trays and bottles (colored and transparent), PP film, EPS, PS, PVC, two grades of Polyolefin mix, metal, and non-plastic waste.

Let this shared information serve as an eye-opener - not only to change how we perceive waste, but also to herald a fresh perspective on its management. I invite you to delve further into the topic, find more sources, and voice stronger arguments to contribute to enlightening discussions about waste management. Let's spread the word whenever the topic of trash comes up, and together, we can drive the change we need to see on a global scale.

I noticed that my server import the bans from other instances. I think it's a great feature at the moment where there is no complains of anyone creating servers to abuse it, but I feel like it's bound to happen if there is no safety for it.
If we want to keep it easy for creating servers, maybe they should have a trust level, that could be set either manually or with some heuristics. I like the idea of some heuristics with the option for the admins to take some manual action.

On the current typescript / anti-typescript internet drama I saw someone mention javascript without a build step.
Do you think we're already there?
Last time I attempted it:
- there were too many libraries I couldn't import
- JSX (using babel) had a warning saying you shouldn't do it in the browser for production
- there was some advice against not using a bundler, because several requests for different .js files is slower and bigger than a bundled package
It feels like anything is mowed down on the internet. I've been a dev for a long time too, and I never feel sure when I chose a stack for a new toy project (in my day job I rarely get to chose, so that's a non issue there)
It's related to the flood I mentioned in an earlier post, but I think more people can want to do similar things, sharing all their content on lemmy to make it discoverable. I think people might want to do it for different legitimate reasons, and I'm not sure what the right way to do it is.
Ideally there should be a way to create a thread without showing it on "new", or even better, lemmy should limit automatically how much space a community or server can take on the global "new" lists
I created an instance, and was thinking it as a normal self-hosted server where I can do whatever I want with no worries, and learned in a bad way that it's on a federation and we still have to follow some rules.
I have a lot of AI generated stuff that I wanted to make visible on Lemmy, and made a bot to upload all of it in a community.
So far it wouldn't create a flood, but then I subscribed to it with my lemmy.world account. I wanted to test it, and I wanted the community to be searchable on lemmy.world.
This last step is the one that messed up. Lemmy's new feed apparently doesn't impose any limit, and a new server publishing thousands of posts in a few minutes flooded lemmy.world's new feed.
That wasn't my intention and I apologize for that.
