  • The Software Quality and Productivity Crisis Executives Won’t Address

    Jump

  • 69% of developers report losing 8+ hours weekly to inefficiencies—20% of their time (Atlassian, 2024)

    Yep. If there is any company that knows what it takes to drive inefficiencies, it's Atlassian. (Fuck them and their software.)

  • TIL “sleet” does not have the same meaning in all English speaking countries

    Jump

  • Yeah. This is hail. 2018 Denver area, Colorado. When the conditions are right, I suspect the air currents swirl this against the mountain range until its heavy enough to get launched across the state.

    I wouldn't call this sleet in any country as sleet just sounds too dainty.

    Do you think the government should regulate who can or cannot have children?

    Jump

  • That's kind of the point. You want the sheep to think they are burning down society for some do-good ideology while the politicians sidestep the government into a into dictatorship or other kind of single party authoritarian system. Regardless, the politicians of the new government will be just fine.

    Jump

  • No. It might be in a politicians best interest to ensure a population stays dumb and then ensure those dumb people raise even dumber children.

  • New York teachers stunned to learn some students can’t read time on old clocks after phone ban comes into play

  • Please don't teach kids to insert all-caps words into their sentences. If you need to emphasize a word on the Internet, you can italicize.

  • Steak, peppers, onions and instant mashed potatoes.

    Jump

  • If you keep flour in the kitchen, roll the steak around in some after you cut it up. It'll keep the steak just a bit more moist when you brown it and it'll help thicken up the juices a bit too. (It's one of those "just right" things. You don't want to just dust it, but you aren't trying to make fried chicken either.)

  • Reddit to lemmy reposter

    Jump

  • You can interpret anything how you choose, kind of like we have to do with your grammar.

  • You are missing my point, but I also wasn't clear enough. In proper context, we are saying the same thing.

    I worded that sentence carefully, as to your point, I don't actually want to tell people to go to Reddit. However, each platform is unique in its own way. If someone wants the Reddit experience, that is the only place they are going to find it. Reddit content is generally curated algorithmically while Lemmy content is not. It's could be the same articles on the same day, but two different experiences.

    OP was referring to reposting content for someone who seemed to be looking for the same volume of content that is on Reddit that is heavily sorted, unless I missed something. I was just saying that this platform doesn't really support that kind of thing in a constructive way. The articles and the presentation combined make the platform "content".

  • Something similar has been done before and it was really easy to spot. I won't get into the details, but it was really trashy. There are other communities that try to copy Reddit already and I block most of them.

    Communities driven by one persons posts or by a cluster of bots generally suck. Yes, communities must start with only one person, but if nobody else likes the idea and the community doesn't drive participation from Lemmy as a whole, it's simply noise.

    Post content that you like, in communities that matter to you. If you like a particular strain of content, start a new community. People will join or they won't. Read the room and continue driving the community, or don't.

    Automated posts have their place, but most people can spot it fairly quick. It generally doesn't drive participation as much as organic posts.

    Bluntly though, if you want Reddit content, go to Reddit. Lemmy isn't Reddit and that is what people generally like about it.

  • That card doesn't give me much hope for AI designed PCBs. At least there isn't a shortage of PCIe 1x pins though...

  • Replace One Word In A Star Trek Quote With Sausage

    Jump

  • Resistance is futile. You will be sausage...

    .. with my amazing sausage-inator!

    For some reason, the voice of Dr. Doofenshmirtz was much clearer in my head than the borg.

  • no need to seriously adapt to their environment.

    Yeah, cats make everyone and everything adapt to their environment. You have to completely go outside the environment to avoid their influence.

  • TIL that all of the world's 500 most powerful supercomputers run on Linux.

    Jump

  • They still probably need a ton of customization and tuning at the driver level and beyond, which open source allows for.

    I am sure there is plenty of existing "super computer"-grade software in the wild already, but a majority of it probably needs quite a bit of hacking to get running smoothly on newer hardware configurations.

    As a matter of speculation, the engineers and scientists that build these things are probably hyper-picky about how some processes execute and need extreme flexibility.

    So, I would say it's a combination of factors that make Linux a good choice.

  • Humans suddenly gain the ability to selectively delete their memories. How do you use this ability? (if at all) How do you think society would change?

    Jump

  • Booze.

    I have huge chunks of memories missing and that ain't exactly a bad thing for my older, and sober, self. (Sometimes I still get flashbacks of blurry memories and it is very anxiety inducing. Booze memories are weird and were written to some corrupt cells or something that only pop back up under strange conditions.)

  • One of the other notable scenes with her sister was in the steel factory, when the T1000 was mimicking Sarah. The T1000 was actually played by Linda Hamilton and it was her sister with the shotgun.

  • Let me rub it in then... ;)

    That is Sarah Connor from Terminator 1

  • For anyone wondering, that's Sarah Connors dream from Terminator 2 right before the city gets nuked.
