  • Do you recommend Ocaml language?

    Jump

  • If you want to learn it for fun, practice and personal projects - yes.

    Do you already know another programming language? If so learning additional languages is a benefit, the more you know the easier will be to pick up new ones. If you're just starting, Python is a better choice to get over the basics.

  • TIL Gabe Newell (CEO of Valve) bought and owns the megayachts company Oceanco

  • Regardless, we should reward socially beneficial behavior. Billionaires are humans, and as such trainable through a correct reward structure. Harm reduction is important.

  • Would a single globally governing body be a good thing? Why or why not. Edit~ abandoned by OP

    Jump

  • No, it reduces the effort needed for corruption.The smaller the circle of power is, the less effort is needed to corrupt the entire system.

    Also, it would prevent experimentation. Trial and error is an important method of finding out what works. One governing body would have one set of rules, we would never discover if a better set of rules exist.

  • It doesn't help that "vanilla" flavored products usually use a tiny drop of artificial vanillin.

    Real vanilla has a much richer amazing taste. But even the artificial stuff would be ok if they just put more of it. That shit is cheap, pour it in dammit.

  • How different does love really feel for people? What are your thoughts on this?

    Jump

  • I hope it exists. Feeling extremely attracted (in love) to someone is very different to feeling love (unconditionally caring). One can move into the other and those are the best relationships. I've met a few, never experienced myself.

    But even caring about people without being sexual is worthwhile. We usually call it friendship, but there is an additional deep level of it.

  • Spanish people or people residing in Spain: How are you affected by the current wildfires? How do you experience the situation?

    Jump

  • No idea, some kind of bug, or too much traffic. Works fine for me.

    Actually, does your browser have a referer stripping option or plugin? Some kind of overzealous tracking prevention?

  • You shouldn't be worried anyway. By the end of September it's highly likely all the fires will be gone.

  • In Barcelona some days there's a weird haze in the air. A colleague from the suburbs recently had a small panic thinking he needs to evacuate, but the firefighters quickly extinguished the fire.

    For people living in the suburbs of Madrid it's a real danger. That one is out of control and no end in sight.

    There a lot more, all over Spain. Most of the county is uninhabited so it doesn't impact too many people. But if you're driving somewhere, be careful.

    Edit: Here's a live map

  • This basically. Hundreds of trillions of times.That's how LLMs work. Number crunching on a massive scale.

  • Its all about bonding

  • Wtf do you do to your pasta so it sticks so much? The other post is full of agreement.The boil should be enough to prevent if from sticking. Unless you use way too little water.

  • What do I need to know about the Odyssey before watching the film?

    Jump

  • I think it might be fun if you do it the other way around. See the film first.

    Then get ahold of Iliad and Odyssey and read them, trying to match stuff from the movie to the original

  • I'm in!!!!

  • Vibecoded regex, yay

    Patreon is laying off 20% of its staff. Read the memo its CEO sent to employees.

    Jump

  • I'd bet on massive reduction in disposable income.

    Patreon is based on the idea that most people have some amount of money, relatively small from own perspective, that they're willing to give away in hopes of getting more content from their favorite creators.

    Anecdotal evidence: 5 years ago I was spending about 100€ per month on Patreon. These days I'm down to 15€.

    Now, I'm just one person, not necessarily representative of a trend. But I have a feeling it's a trend.

  • I might have missed something profound.

  • Ah, Lemmy and refusing to be exposed to opinions you disagree with. Classic.

  • I doubt many people are picking it these days. But someone did 20 years ago. And now you're stuck with the headache.

  • Do you feel like it was easier to talk to folks 10 years ago?

    Jump

  • Yes. Up to 2019.

    Covid messed up human interaction on a level never seen before. And the most horrifying thing is how many people seem completely unaware of this.
