  • Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()

    Jump

  • You may want to beneficiate from little performance boost even though you mostly don't need it and still need python's advantages. Being interested in performance isnt always looking for the very best performance there is out of any language, it can also be using little tips to go a tiny bit faster when you can.

  • I'm used to separating breakfast food (cereals, fruits, bread and jelly, crepes, pancakes) and lunch/diner food (carbs, vegetables, sushi, etc), but i'm also used to eating some at the time of the other (dining with crepes or bread, or having breakfast with leftovers of dinner)

  • 4K really weighs heavy in matter of storage space, just multiply 1080p by 4. If you can get that the raw rushes for a 1080p clip would be around 500 Go, then it makes sense that the same in 4k is 4 times bigger. My friends who stores a lot of rushes buys a new hard drive each year or two now that he uses 4k

  • "I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative" - What do you think when you hear that?

  • I agree with you on most points, thanks for your analysis/opinion!

  • How do you feel about anarchism and/or libertarian communism? (just trying to see how much you think that way because of a sympathy for capital or because of a rejection of the state)

  • Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality” as well as a servicing stack update. It’s rather basic then but it seemingly introduced a bug that saw Copilot being removed from the operating system.

    Is it possible that somehow some component in the update or some dev at Microsoft found Copilot to be too intrusive security-wise and decided to uninstall it ?

  • If I'm correct, the linux foundation took up development of the Servo engine when Mozilla dropped it. So they don't focus entirely on Chromium, and may be the ones to take back after Mozilla for Firefox/Gecko engine if needed (you did not said that ofc, but i think it's important to mention). There's still a long way to go with new engines such as Servo and Ladybird, but that may be good alternatives in the future.

  • If you still use reddit, do you feel bad for doing so?

    Jump

  • I would feel okay i think. I only use it when it ends up in my search engine answers, and i think it's okay, it has both a larger userbase and older history, so for niche subjects and specific questions it makes sense to use it.

    But if you feel bad about it, maybe consider creating the communities you would like to see on Lemmy, as others said ! It may be not as hard and time consuming as you think, especially if you find some people to help you or even to entirely transfer the moderation part.

  • From these web musical microgenres/memegenres, which one do you like the most?

    What's your hair length & are you happy with it?

    Jump

  • Mid-20s male here. They get to mid-back length now, and i'm overall very happy about it. They sometimes get stuck while in bed or at work but it's a small price to pay for not bothering with cutting them and it's really cool to headbang with it. Like others said, some boomers give me a hard time, but on the other hand i get random compliments from strangers so i take that as a win.

  • Are people here pro-conscription?

    Jump

  • It is highly unpopular here to criticize Ukraine, and people kinda have good reasons for it, with all the far-right/trolls/tankies praising Russia and undermining Ukraine support.

    Still, and though I support Ukrainians in a war made by Russia, conscription (it's always forced btw) is something I can't get over with, it goes against liberty, equality, solidarity, everything i believe in. Fuck armies, anywhere, anywhen, anyhow. It does not mean that they should be unfunded/unsupported/fought against, just that we have to remember that they are bad to the core, and that even when necessary, they should not get any glory, any power or any reward.

    "Despise the infamous glory of laurel-bearing heroes, all assassins and pirates who terrorized the whole world". - La Paysanne, Gaston Couté

    Anyway, i hope for peace in Ukraine, that they will get their previous frontiers, and that violences will soon come to an end, so that forced soldiers on both sides and Ukrainian civilians can escape this hell.

  • What is your favorite (non-drug) high?

  • DeepSeek Proves It: Open Source is the Secret to Dominating Tech Markets (and Wall Street has it wrong).

  • I disagree with you, links are not that long to share. It is a bit more time consuming obviously, but everyone can choose whether to read quickly or really dive in the sources. I see a lot of people doing it today on internet. I see a lot of people doing it in casual conversation (opening a book or internet to check smthg). It's not evidence, it's hints to avoid launching a whole discussion that entirely lies or bullshit (or not).

    Here are some links I found about smuggled chips.

    • Reuters : Deepseek said they used legally imported old and new nvidia chips (H800 and H20s). There are suspicions and investigations about illegal smuggling of banned from export nvidia chips, targeting directly Deepseek. One CEO of an american AI startup said it is likely Deepseek used smuggled chips.
    • The Diplomat : exactly the same, citing directly Reuters. Adds that H800 (now banned from export) and H20s were designed by Nvidia specially for the chinese market. Adds that smuggling could go through Singapore, which leaped from 9% to 22% of Nvidia revenues in 2 years. Nvidia and Singapore representatives deny.
    • Foxbusiness : same.

    So it is likely there are smuggled chips in china if we believe this. Now to say they have been used by Deepseek and even more, that they have been decisive is still very unclear.

  • Did Motley Crue Steal this Intro from Montrose?

    Jump

  • Well both of us are imitating motorcycles, so it would even be very hard to write down the actual 'melody' to compare both. As said by others, it's also an easy and common thing to do on guitar. Plus both sounds are rythmically a bit different : Motley Crue do not have the fast bit at the beginning of Montrose, they do 3 bends rather than 4 and they are a bit slower. It still may be technically plagiarism but it would be on a very small scale

    Why is the term "Zionist" common on Lemmy and what is the political alignment driving this?

    Jump

  • Very common in my experience of french politics to distinguish between anti-Zionism and antisemitism.

    It's also a lot more used since the genocide is an important subject, so that may explain why you see it a lot more used in the last two years.

  • Is dessert a snack or a meal?

    Jump

  • Im with you there.

    If sweet food is consumed at the end of a dinner/lunch, it's a dessert to me.

    If sweet food is consumed on its own, its a snack to me.

    What are your thoughts on people who didn't vote?

    Jump

  • As an anarchist, I respect their decision in the sense that participating in the state is fighting for the state.

    I would tell them to vote though, and I myself vote when its needed, to avoid getting utter bastards as 'legitimate' leaders. Here in France it's even easier because I'm not given the choice between only capitalists and fascists, i can vote for light versions of socialists.

    I'm against fines, even light ones. If they are not strictly scaled to income, they always strike harder people who are struggling already than richer ones. And even if they do, it's not fair to be forced to participate in a form of politics you don't want.

  • Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo shooting. What is your opinion on the freedom of satire in general and the satire of religion in particular?

    Jump

  • I'm with you here, satire should be protected, killing people for satire is awful, and Charlie Hebdo have a really dumb and bad taste humor.
