ProgrammingSocks,

Yes but no. Modern dubstep sounds very little like 90s or 2000s dubstep because Skrillex changed the definition of the genre.

ProgrammingSocks,

I don’t click on these videos ever. I know all the reasons already. I can’t change a mind that’s already made up either.

ProgrammingSocks,

Linux isn’t a product. You can’t think of it like a product. It is simply a piece of software and doesn’t care if you use it or not. It’s not “competing” with Windows, it’s not even playing the same game.

4th grizzly hit, killed along Trans-Canada Highway in B.C. park (www.nanaimobulletin.com)

“Visitors are asked to respect posted speed limits and no-stopping zones at all times, as well as stay alert and prepared to encounter wildlife at any time, even when driving along fenced sections of the highway. By reducing speeds, driving alertly, and giving wildlife space and respect, you can help reduce wildlife...

ProgrammingSocks,

Because that’s how normal people have a conversation?

ProgrammingSocks,

Sure.

I could also shoot off both my testicles with an M1911.

Question about JACK audio interface.

Hi everyone, I got my e-drum kit to successfully work in reaper, using yabridge for the VSTs. Shortly after, I found another way in which linux audio is different than windows. While using reaper, I am unable to play audio from any other source. Through research, I discovered that it’s because I’m using ALSA and that I need...

ProgrammingSocks,

There is no need to use external programs anymore unless you want some kind of special behaviour (like the plugboard that qjackctl gives you). Pipewire has reimplemented Pulseaudio, ALSA, and JACK, which at one point in time were 3 separate projects.

Pipewire emulates all 3 seamlessly. So when you run a program through JACK, pipewire picks it up pretending to be normal JACK. To the program, it looks like you have a standard JACK server, but on the backend, it’s running through Pipewire instead. You should get the same low-latency too.

Do make sure you have pipewire-jack or the equivalent package installed.

ProgrammingSocks,

I hope they do. The gig economy is unequivocally horrible for everyone that isn’t working as an exec at Uber.

ProgrammingSocks,

Your rhetoric is out of date, Strange New Worlds is great and IMO Lower Decks is too, even as someone that hates DISCO and Picard.

ProgrammingSocks,

Nope. Creative Cloud requires internet access for DRM.

ProgrammingSocks,

Every major company does this, it just doesn’t make headlines. Plus I’m sure they know you can still install it outside of the store.

ProgrammingSocks,

You know as well as I do that Mozilla isn’t exactly a small community project. This isn’t a surprise to me.

ProgrammingSocks,

What I always say is that Republicans ALWAYS spin things their way. It doesn’t matter what you do, of will always be framed in the worst possible way by them. We need to do good things anyways and not get caught up in optics.

ProgrammingSocks,

Google also makes their own silicon now. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s caused a change.

ProgrammingSocks,

And I see modern “Christians” as deplorable but that doesn’t mean I get to strip them of all their rights.

ProgrammingSocks,

I wonder if there might be some ulterior motive to this article? I’m sure WaPo being owned by Bezos has nothing to do with it though.

ProgrammingSocks,

It’s sort of a tumblr art style. They’re either deliberately ignoring perspective (a perfectly valid thing to do on purpose especially in cartoons) or maybe didn’t learn it. I think it looks fine fwiw. What’s bad is when people who draw like this start animating… Then you get Steven Universe’s wildly different proportions scene-to-scene.

ProgrammingSocks,

Of course a good developer can avoid these problems for the most part. The point is that we want the bad developers to be forced to do things a safe way by default.

ProgrammingSocks,

Rust simply doesn’t allow you to have references to data that goes out of scope (unless previously mentioned hoops are jumped through such as an explicitly declared unsafe block). It’s checked at compile time. You will never be able to compile the program.

Rust isn’t C. Rust isn’t C++. The memory-safe-ness of it is also not magic, it’s a series of checks in the compiler.

ProgrammingSocks,

Oh sure, I’m still learning so I thought you meant references as in pointers like in C++. But also, Rust isn’t a strictly object oriented language either. It shares a lot of similar features, but they aren’t all the typical way you’d do things in an OOP language. You should check out the chapter of the Rust book for ownership.

ProgrammingSocks,

+1 for Pixels but -1 for Google’s “support”. You’ll never talk to a human with them. I love GrapheneOS on my Pixel though, and they’re really the only phones you can install it on cause you can re-lock the bootloader on it after installing. CalyxOS (fork of Graphene with slightly less sandboxing) does support FairPhone 4&5 and a few Motorola phones though.

ProgrammingSocks,

Source?

ProgrammingSocks,

Do you ever wonder why you never see videos of people flying down the street and weaving through traffic in the Netherlands?

Infrastructure is your answer.

ProgrammingSocks,

I’m sorry for your loss. It’s worth considering that we are very conditioned to passive language with these events, but your friend was not “hit on his e-bike”, he was killed by the van driver.

ProgrammingSocks, (edited )

This is perfect timing, I was just watching Quinton Reviews’ video on the “downfall” of the History Channel. Highly recommend the video, dude’s great at media analysis.

ProgrammingSocks,

I don’t care for LTT anymore after the whole Gamer’s Nexus thing. I wasn’t invested in either channel, I occasionally watched LTT, but it was exceedingly obvious that Linus fucked up management of his company to the point where it actually unjustly damaged a small company.

ProgrammingSocks,

This is in an Optiplex so… that’s relevant.

Milan, Italy, is littered with illegally parked cars. Fed-up people counted them: 64000 were found, 30 cars/km of road. (feddit.it)

Milan has 51 cars for 100 inhabitants, which is the double of other big cities in Europe, like Madrid (291,3) o Paris (225,2). One of the consequences is that traffic is terrible, and Milan is, for example, one of the worst cities on TomTom traffic index...

ProgrammingSocks,

They should try the NYC method. Pay people that submit evidence of illegal parking, paid back to the government by that person getting ticketed.

ProgrammingSocks,

It’s not that bad. The drivers are just as buggy as the Windows versions honestly. It’s just that the Radeon drivers are so stable that it makes Nvidia look bad by comparison. And, notably, Nvidia is REALLY slow to add new features like what they need to fully support Wayland.

ProgrammingSocks,

Migrate them to a modern filesystem, presumably. ext4 is extremely reliable, btrfs is less proven but much more featureful with copy-on-write and snapshots.

This isn’t any type of surprise, ResierFS was marked obsolete some time ago now.

ProgrammingSocks,

Yes, most people experience prison in the way you described. There’s always exceptions, and like someone else said it’s in California. Not a left wing state but the closest you’ll get in the US.

If the system was so great at rehabilitation the reoffender rate wouldn’t be so insane.

ProgrammingSocks,

I like btrfs but I’ve personally had problems. Protip: DO NOT USE THAT WINDOWS DRIVER

ProgrammingSocks,

There’s a circular reasoning happening that’s causing Windows to stay dominant. Why isn’t professional software being developed for Linux more? Because it doesn’t get used in the workplace. Why doesn’t Linux get used in the workplace? Because it doesn’t have professional software support.

You need to break one of these things to succeed.

“How do I remove a folder called root using the Linux terminal”

“This task can be achieved with a simple command, just run sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root and the folder should be deleted. Hope this helps!”

Don’t use copilot without checking another source.

ProgrammingSocks,

The joke is I’m referring to a generic folder simply named root. Not the root folder.

it’s not a problem of the AI it’s a problem about dumb people

Hey, I’m not the one telling people to blindly follow an LLM.

ProgrammingSocks,

Watch Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds! Lower Decks is a little Rick and Morty-ish in the first season but it’s still good. This is coming from someone who really doesn’t like DISCO or Picard.

ProgrammingSocks,

“This invites developers worldwide to contribute”

ProgrammingSocks,

We’ll just have to wait and see what they mean I suppose

ProgrammingSocks,

*FOSS

ProgrammingSocks,

TNG itself! She “played” a Tal Shiar officer!

ProgrammingSocks,

For me it’s just ADHD

ProgrammingSocks,

I just don’t turn left at these places. They feel dangerous because they are.

ProgrammingSocks,

You’ll find a light ahead, it’s a stroad after all.

ProgrammingSocks,

I don’t like the spying aspect but it is unironically true that if you slam your brakes at every red light you are driving in a dangerous fashion. It’s more so about the pattern than a one off event though.

Measure of a merit badge (aussie.zone)

Transcription4 panels, arranged 2x2. The first panel contains a picture of Jean-Luc Picard holding up a frame containing a number of medals. It has the text “These are your Starfleet merit badges, are they not, Mr. Data?” The second panel has a picture of Data, with the text “Yes, Captain.” The third is a close image of...

ProgrammingSocks,

Picard after: “Would anyone else like to speak up, or shall we end this charade?”

ProgrammingSocks,

Rocky and AlmaLinux also both let you install them for free to infinite machines

ProgrammingSocks,

If you’re using a Pi I don’t see why you’d want to avoid learning Linux. Setting up and connecting to SSH servers is an essential skill for anybody doing anything on Linux that isn’t purely desktop use.
