I can't really put myself in the shoes of an average person wanting to switch from Windows to Linux but Mint is working pretty well for my Dad.

The May 2024 Organic Maps update supports bookmarks and tracks sorting by name, paved paths are white, and unpaved ones are brown. And there are so many other changes and fixes, thanks to our contributors! Update and enjoy, and don't forget to update maps too. And donate to support the open-source, community-driven, privacy-focused maps project! Get the update at https://omaps.app/get and read more details about the improvements here: https://organicmaps.app/news/2024-05-19/the-may-2024-organic-maps-update-bookmarks-and-tracks-sorting-by-name-gpx-fixes/

@organicmaps how can I add tracks to a list? The screenshot shows a list with both tracks and bookmarks but I can only figure out how to add bookmarks.

Too much criticism of #Biden's #EV #tariffs ignoring basic facts about #China & #BYD

A reminder about why #Chinese #electric vehicles are so cheap - more than mere "innovation"

  • non-existent labor protections, & no real labor unions in Chinese factories = cheap workforce (unlike unionized Detroit)

  • minimal lacking sourcing standards for raw materials = widespread supply chain #humanrights & #environmental abuses

  • massive subsidies & domestic market protectionism

@ncoca @njwatt it doesn't seem as bad as it was on the birdsite but yes. (Over there you'd also have people desperately trying to convince you that the ACFTU not only represents all the workers of China but does so effectively)

Picking my hobby game dev battles for this weekend.

I really want to do some animation system stuff built on aseprite, but if I want all the fun hot reload support I need to figure out how to downgrade my aseprite version.

@onelson I recently decided to have another go at some game dev: so far I've spent most of my the time I allowed for that yak-shaving by trying and failing to get Blender to run on my ancient PC (it briefly shows a blank window before segfaulting)

@veronica @tjdraper I struggle to imagine a world where someone could invent a universal function approximator without a lot of people finding it very useful. The mind-boggling part is where someone thought "The next word that a sycophantic redittor would most likely type" might be a useful function to approximate.

@sandro sometimes I want a non-caching version of fetchGit, although the way I would use it would probably also be bad for reproducibility.

Haiku OS is super charming in the sense that it reminds me of my first struggles with Linux or OS/2 back in the '90s where most everything doesn't work except rudimentary web browsing and telnet, and the only "big name" games I can run are Doom and Quake.

@Adorable_Sergal that isn't fair: Haiku can also run Bugdom.

The techbro fantasy that the brain is a “biological computer” really reminds me of when physicistbros discovered that the fabric of the universe isn’t a “clockwork”.

jeremy_list,
@jeremy_list@hachyderm.io avatar

@thomasfuchs @zvavybir even in classical mechanics the differential equations describing how things move have no analytical solution so it's weird that it took quantum mechanics for people to realise the universe isn't clockwork.

What does your development environment look like right now?

(IDE/Text Editor? Terminal Multiplexer? Package Manager? Shell? Programming Language? Containerization? Command Runner? Terminal Emulator?)

jeremy_list,
@jeremy_list@hachyderm.io avatar

@gregorni
Editor: #neovim or Pe
Multiplexer: still figuring out: only recently realised they're useful.
Package manager: #nixPackageManager / #haikuOS pkgman
Shell: bash (sometimes zsh, never got around to finding out the difference)
Language: #haskell, #rust, #rubylang, #cpp, whatever else tickles my fancy.
Containers: none (most recently docker)
Command runner: don't you mean shell?
Terminal emulator: the default ones from #CinnamonDesktop and #haikuOS

@screwtape if I were to learn a lisp (at this stage mostly out of curiosity) which one would you recommend? Is there any other advice I'm likely to need?

jeremy_list,
@jeremy_list@hachyderm.io avatar

@PeterLudemann @hattifattener @screwtape being fairly familiar with Prolog, I still think Haskell is better at domain specific languages by a considerable margin.

jeremy_list,
@jeremy_list@hachyderm.io avatar

@PeterLudemann @hattifattener @screwtape I admit DCG is pretty nice if you want to make sure you're generating and emitting the same grammar, but if you're only parsing it's more boilerplate than Haskell parser combinators. Both encounter the same problem if naively applied to left-recursive grammars but there are more straightforward solutions to it in Haskell.

jeremy_list,
@jeremy_list@hachyderm.io avatar

@PeterLudemann @hattifattener @screwtape likewise the difference in pattern matching only matters if for some reason you need to turn execution plans back into parse trees.
The two languages have pretty similar capabilities (Haskell doesn't come with variable unification but I once implemented it as a library in under 100 lines of code). The thing that gives Haskell the advantage here is do notation for monads.

jeremy_list,
@jeremy_list@hachyderm.io avatar

@screwtape @PeterLudemann @pizzapal @hattifattener the closest feature to Lisp macros is probably Template Haskell which basically lets you run Haskell functions that return Haskell AST nodes and include the results in the compiled program.

People are enamored with the current crop of AI in part because our society has lost the ability to distinguish between performative intelligence and actual intelligence.

@rysiek @AdeptVeritatis @smari Fortunately some things get preserved just by accident. The complaint to Ea-Nasir isn't a brilliant piece of literature but it is a brilliant way to show that people haven't changed much.

Nvidia claiming 25x reduction in energy costs compared to H100 for their new hardware, thus validating that energy consumption as a PRIMARY objection to AI is lazy recycling of objections to web3

Whereas crypto nonsense is designed to burn energy pointlessly, the goal of machine learning is “productive” applications, thus there are ongoing incentives for optimizing price performance over time

@danilo "AI" includes things that already don't use much energy. And things that don't rely on unethically obtained data. (but no-one is expecting a small model for detecting lizards or whatever to somehow write poetry)

Remember 10 years ago when the tech industry promised we’ll “3D print everything from food to houses”?

Now think about the promises about AI.

jeremy_list,
@jeremy_list@hachyderm.io avatar

@thomasfuchs @CurtAdams I figured even when they were being hyped that if I got one I'd end up printing 5 or 6 things and all of them would be legitimately useful but then I'd have no further use for the 3D printer.

@HeavenlyPossum @Pineywoozle @MacropodCare @magitweeter it's weird how most people can see that artificial scarcity is bad or at least a net negative when DeBeers does it by manipulating the diamond market but don't apply the same logic to things for which the only scarcity is artificial.

"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

@maegul @lynnesbian yeah it wasn't a UI problem it was a set of bugs that were only triggered by the existence of a toot which that much text.
