  • You know, this is quite common for both genders. A major part of earlier feminist demands was "We want to get in on all the male spaces". You know, having the right to go to football games, military, and so on.

    It's currently quite a big political topic in my country that feminists are demanding that some traditional men-only shooting clubs should open up to women. A ton of women demanding that the clubs are opened for women aren't even interested in actually joining these shooting clubs (and in fact often wouldn't even be allowed to join because they are regional clubs and they are from a different region), but that doesn't matter.

    What they protest for is not that they can actually join, but that they'd be allowed to join in theory.

    It's also a quite big thing over here that women started to go into men's restrooms during events and such when there's a queue on the women's restroom.

    So why would anyone be surprised that the same thing happens the other way round too?

    There are always some idiots who's identity hinges on making sure others can't have safe spaces.

  • Btw, why is it that STEP isn't natively supported in many slicers? Are there patents or something on them?

  • Which would make it pretty simple to just make this small area waterproof.

  • It's not hard to make a waterproof battery and a waterproof phone. All you need to waterproof using gaskets is the connector between both of them.

  • What would also work is waterproofing the phone except of the battery case and use a waterproof connector between the battery and the phone.

  • There's a book about 101 ways to cut potatoes. Perhaps that could be a real mike-drop bit of evidence that we shouldn't be cooking potatoes.

    This would be a valid argument if to read someone else's recipe you'd need to know every way of potato cutting they might use.

    The problem with C++ isn't that you can't use it in a good way. The problem is that you can use it in a million different ways. The best way for your application is often not readily visible and reading someone else's code might be really difficult because they have a weird favourite way of doing things that you might not know.

    Python does that quite well (it's got other failings, but in this regard it's good):

    There's a class that's just called List and there's a literal that creates an instance of it: []. It's implemented using an array list, since that's the most sensible options for most list use cases. If you need another type of list, they are still available, but the default implementation is clearly visible and uses a sensible implementation.

  • I don't think it was a comedy roast, more like a rant.

    The core message of the video (and I do agree with that) is that C++ is incredibly cluttered and that there are dozens of ways to do the same simple thing.

    And sure, you don't need to know them all when writing code, but when reading someone else's code you need to know all of the options to understand it.

  • Clicked it, and you are right. It's not AI at all, just not a professional microphone.

  • Thanks for warning before I clicked the video. Saved me the click.

    Edit: wasn't AI after all. Just a cheap microphone.

  • That's pretty much my point. Actual Nosql does have use cases, but more often than not it was used for hype reasons. "Everyone uses Nosql, let's not become legacy and hop on the Nosql train!"

    Document DBs came out of Nosql, and are pretty much the same as SQL for most use cases, just with their own funky syntax.

    And then again there are the use cases where people use SQL without relations, basically as a Nosql DB. Just do ORM for everything, do the database stuff in memory in Java and just use SQL to dump crap into.

  • Ah, confused the two. The worse looking version (PS1, PC) is less book accurate, and the newer version (PS2) is more book accurate. Oh well.. Maybe I'll get the newer version then for my kids.

  • Vetting sources is the one thing we need journalists for. If they don't vet their sources, their work is without merit.

    Reading at least the methodology section of a paper and googling if the researchers and the institute exists, is the bare minimum of what a decent journalist should do.

    If they can't do that, then there's no advantage of a journalist over some random person posting on Facebook. Even Youtubers usually vet their sources better.
