"then" is used to depict time, sequence or a causal relationship. "than" is used with comparative adjectives, to depict comparison.

  • There are some times when I wish I were better at regexp and scripting.Times when I am writing a similar kind of thing again and again, which is just different enough (and small enough number of repetitions) that it doesn't seem viable to make the script.

    At those times, I tend to think - maybe Cursor would have done this part well - but have no real idea since I have never used it.

    On the other hand, if I had a scripting endpoint from clang, ^[which would have taggified parts of code (in the same tone as "parts of speech") like functions declaration, return type, function name, type qualifier etc.], I would have used that to make a batch processor for even a repetition as small as 10 and wouldn't have thought once about AI.

  • Nice to know.Perhaps, in Linux, we can consider setting up a sandbox with restricted file access and a separate pyenv for each blend file.Also, don't give Networking capabilities to the python script by default.

    Would be nice to give this setting to the package maintainers and upstream itself.

  • Never have I had to implement any kind of ridiculous algorithm to pass tests with huge amounts of data in the least amount of memory, as the competitive websites show.

    It has been mostly about:

    • Finding the correct library for a job and understanding it well, to prevent footguns and blocking future features
    • Design patterns for better build times
    • Making sane UI options and deciding resource alloc/dealloc points that would match user interaction expectations
    • cmake

    But then again, I haven't worked in FinTech or Big Data companies, neither have I made an SQL server.

  • Just 1 more kiloton of Uranium.It will be ready by the time that's depleted.

  • Maybe the skin cancer detection app?

  • Also, this statement applies EVERYWHERE.

  • cluster bombs just fling granades all over a city block at random

    That gave me the mental image of an Age of Empires 2 mangonel.

  • Wait, writing backends with JS make you fullstack?

  • Maybe that's what the people developing spoken languages thought, while normalising conversations overdependent on context.

    But hey, now we have another comedic tool in anime.

  • Until now, I looked at let and thought, "maybe they just felt like doing it that way".Makes a lot more sense now.

  • How is it "decompiling" if the programmer made it in Assembly?

  • Switching cost is a lie.

    It is very much a reality. One that tech companies have put hard work into creating, with vertical integration and contractual locking down of spare parts, which could otherwise have been components for anyone's DIY project.

    My current phone cost < $200 and I always tend to buy lower cost phones.Now, if I were to buy something like a Fairphone, I would be looking into getting something shipped here, which would incur additional fuel costs and on top of that, taxes. And then add to that, that all future spare parts will require a similar effort, it becomes unfeasible to me real fast.The only way it makes sense, is if someone in my country starts considering doing the same thing, which requires a great change in a lot of people's mindset.

    And that is why "European countries are changing", slowly. It will take more than a little while and so will all other countries. It will require people to have enough time and aptitude to start realising what kind of a society is actually worth working towards and much more to have enough people act on it.

  • There are pointers in Assembly?All I remember is memory addresses, stored in memory locations.

  • So here's what happened recently:

    • I opened the Google News widget on my Android phone, saw a Sponsored link, and found it interesting
    • Clicked on it, the link opened in Chrome, opening the googleadservices redirection thingummy
    • Took over 5 seconds to process the redirect
    • I exited the browser

    Guess who missed ad money?


    But of course, maybe they got the ad money and the only losers were:

    • me, who didn't get to see the website that might actually have had something I wanted
    • the website owner, who not only didn't get my business but also had to pay Google, because Google most probably processed the ad first and didn't care to process the redirect

    I feel like I understand why they removed the "Do no evil" sign. Because now, they are messing with both, the product and the customers, only providing as much as is required to take their money, instead of the full, advertised service.

  • Microsoft's latest Ransomware dubbed Windows 11...

  • Most uses of 'retard' are in variable names like B43legacy_OFDMTAB_ADVRETARD but we also have

    That explains the sudden drop, with legacy code being removed

  • Well, I don't have that option, as I need to be available in the company's WhatsApp group to get work (⇒ money), which then means that I have to keep my Android phone working, despite it getting worse every update.

  • Guess I'll use that as my gateway to OpenGL

  • I have tried multiple times now.People just don't seem to switch.Even my work uses it, despite me trying to explain to them how insecure it is (although it is all insecure as long as we open it on Android phones anyway) and urged them to use signal or some self hosted service.
