I started having arguments online back on Fidonet and Usenet. I'm too tired to care now.

  • Karma in lemmy?

  • No that's not it. With the two upvotes I have on the post above that number is now shown as 4118.

  • This is what my Mbin instance profile view shows me:

    Reputation points: 4116 Moderated: 0

    I'm under the impression the reputation points are either the combined number of upvotes or that minus downvotes, but I don't know. Also, this is an Mbin instance but it's fully federated with Lemmy instances so usually no one separates "Lemmy" and "Mbin" ...

  • Do you browse the fediverse at work?

  • Nuclear is cheaper than your average electricity cost.

    I know because I'm Swedish and you use us as your cheap electricity.

  • Coders or lemmy, what editors do you use? Is it worth learning a new one?

    Jump

  • A lot of what I do (hw/fw hacking) involves running Ghidra on code by others so it's just a tool I know well. As I mentioned I seldomly step through my own code while debugging high level languages.

  • Coders or lemmy, what editors do you use? Is it worth learning a new one?

    Jump

  • Depends on language and platform ;) Ghidra, strace, printouts gets you quite far. The only language I regularly step would be assembler.

    Jump

  • Sublime Text.

    The only thing I need from my editor is syntax highlighting and not be slow.

    (Assembler, C, Python, Java and Bash are the languages I mostly work with)

  • Asahi Linux Lead Developer Hector Martin Steps Down As Upstream Apple Silicon Maintainer

  • I was macOS (desktop) and Linux (servers), but over time it just became cumbersome to cater to the - while Unix - different environment on the Macs all the time. I've now converted over the last Macbook Pro to Linux but what I really want is a Linux distribution really made specifically for the Macs and making full use of their somewhat special hardware.

    If you're more at home with macOS then this doesn't apply to you of course :) A lot of the software I use is from the open source community where Mac gets supported because it's possible to compile for it but it's always an afterthought.

    (Servers? Yeah that might surprise people - but the performance of Apple Silicon is really very interesting for a lot of tasks where you need "GPU-speedup" without installing a full GPU)

  • Bad for Linux. I see Asahi Linux on Apple hardware as being the "best Linux" for consumer use (and home servers) moving forwards.

  • Unmasked: Musk’s secret DOGE goon squad—who are all under 26

    Jump

  • hahahaha no, most definitely not :D

    Anyway, it's pretty clear you have some other reason than science behind not accepting you're in the wrong here. The Nature study with its very clear graphs should be enough when it comes to science papers and there are numerous neuroscientists quoted in the other links I've given. You seem to believe "Slate" becomes the source when they quote one, but that's not how sourcing works.

  • Unmasked: Musk’s secret DOGE goon squad—who are all under 26

    Jump

  • ... yeah about that "sources" thing you mentioned. Those would not belong to "scientific consensus". Neuroscientists claiming there is no such consensus however are valid sources, papers showing something else than the claimed consensus do too.

    Jump

  • You believe there to be a consensus that doesn't exist. That's the point the neuroscientists make in the links I've given you.

    Here's a recent paper that could be used to claim it's 20, not 25, if you want to draw a line: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-42540-8

  • for your claim that our brains are fully developed at 25

    That's the opposite of my claim. The claim is that there's no such thing as "fully developed". Development is continous throughout our whole lives. There's no "line" at 25. You could just as well use 20 or 30. Or 5. Or 50.

    I know better than the field of neuroscience

    Your issue is that you believe that the field of neuroscience claims something it doesn't. You've been given plenty of sources with quotes from neuroscientists on exactly how that myth came to be.

    You still choose to believe the myth.

  • No, you didn't.

    Why do people insist otherwise2? Unclear. But it’s not based on any particular scientific study or claim. At best, it seems to be a corruption/misunderstanding of a few older studies into brain development, ones which mentioned, or only used subjects under the age of, 25.

    ... and those statements in that neuroscientist's "opinion" are linked to sources. If you click on those, you'll end up at this article which cites scholars and references the studies where people got this myth from:
