It’s inconsistent and annoying. Expressive, yes. Gets it’s job done, yes. Absolute nightmare of a spec, YES.
The fact that JSON is a subset of YAML should tell you everything about how bloated the spec is. And of course there’s the “no” funny things.
Personally, my favourite way to write configs was using lua (because it was already part of the project so why not), but JSON does fine.
What do you mean unseasoned, they have salt on them. smh
Perfectly good boiled potatoes and stew.
Yeah, it’s pretty difficult to find energy for personal programming stuff when your dayjob is programming stuff.
Gotta get up from the PC for a bit.
Chernobyl isn’t safe safe, it’s just safe enough for wildlife to survive there, possibly with lowered life span and quality of life.
Also, there’s a decent danger of radioactive dust coming off the book if it’s handled. It may not be that radioactive, but if it clings to you, or you breathe it in, it will do considerably more damage than if it was all one solid rock that made geiger counters click.
It makes gray look red because it’s similar luminosity. White still looks white.
…I was gonna say it took until it was shrunk down to the thumbnail to see red, but nope, it actually has red in it in the thumbnail.
Guess this is specific to how often you see cans of coca-cola?
Here, I put the image through a ditherer (only available colours are black, cyan, white). I don’t see any red at all now.
[edit}
Actually, that “red” is mostly just gray so I played myself here. Still, the luminosity must be closer to red before I detect it as red, white doesn’t do it.
Oh, I know the experience pretty well. The fun fun fun of having something stuck at 98% for a week or more :D
I was thinking, if the creator themselves would seed their stuff it could work - although I admit it’d have to have some kind of seed schedule and maybe some heuristic to see which videos were still available or not. There’d be problems with bandwidth, but I think it would at least allow a decentralised video network to exist, even if it would feel a bit more like watching anime in year 2010.
And yeah, fair point. I don’t really do live streams so I didn’t think about them. Honestly don’t know what a solution for that even could be, in terms of “everyone hosts a little bit to spread the load and price”.
Don’t really think it’d be that big of a mess for premiers, but then again I don’t see a big issue in waiting a day to get good content. Y’all are spoiled with cdns and social media /s :D! In my experience torrents propagate pretty quickly so it could still work. Think the bigger issue would be the fact that people have preference for different resolutions, so you’d end up with massive torrent downloads that have 4k, 2k, 1080p, 720p, etc. Or multiple torrent files for different resolution. The worst outcome would of course be “creator just dumps 8k 60fps content on the network and tells you good luck”.
Either way, I won’t pretend like torrent net could match the service of youtube right now - but I do think it could actually make a video network actually work, without prohibitive costs for the hosters and subscriptions for the basic users. It’d still be nice to support creators and the trackers but those aren’t as big of an ask as “host hundreds of 4k videos per creator forever”.
[edit] as a last minute thought - I think I know another reason why torrents may not work so well. You’d have to have an app or a browser extension to use them, which limits the accessibility compared to “open url and watch”.
I feel like the true decentralised approach to video that may work… Are torrents. Don’t know if PeerTube works that way, but if you’re allowing people to eat your bandwidth with direct streaming, you’re gonna run into problems sooner or later.
whomesome comic
Lemmy: where’s the joke tho?
Very nice though, amicable breakups/divorces are good.
I feel like it’s a little disingenuous to call it “Doom Tech” when it’s modern GZDoom with proper full 3D and shit.
But it is true that it’s way more systemic than anything AAA in the genre.
I mean, I clearly remember firefox being terrible back when Chrome was just beginning to take off.
It was a lumbering monolith that ate all your ram and loaded pages at a glacial pace. Chrome was a multi-process revolution from that.
Then, firefox got it’s shit together and chrome got overloaded with corpo bullshit.
Yeah, I find firefox tends to leak memory when you have youtube tabs open. Still using only firefox unless testing for compatibility but it is a thing.
Ah, Midnight Commander, how have I missed you.
Yeah, it’s just expensive enough right now to make me question if I really want it.
Never even got around to buying a DS.
Maybe i should get one with an sd cart.
Wasn’t that episode based on a real story from some company?
That was basically my reaction to alcohol my whole life, just get kinda eepy.
Who the FUCK eats борщ cold!? What crazy coo-coo land chicanery is that?!
Окрошка is cold.
Personally, I prefer duplicate keys to be eaten by the parser but I can see how it’d be beneficial to prevent them.
