A lot of famous scientists make their breakthroughs at fairly young age, before their mind gets locked into a certain paradigm. Look up Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, which forwards some interesting ideas on how science is conducted.

Writing Lua code that also interacts with C code that uses 0 indexing is an awful experience. Annoys me to this day even though haven’t used it for 2 years

How about 8 hours troubleshooting while trying to find the right documentation.

Depends on your instance’s definition. We define it as:

3.6. Vote Manipulation: Attempts to manipulate the voting system is not tolerated including the usage of sock puppet accounts, target voting someone for who they are rather than their content, and mass downvoting posts.

We once banned a few accounts for mass down voting, i.e. their (total downvotes - total upvotes) were over 6 000. One account had downvoted more than 10 000 times in a single community.

At programming.dev “vote manipulation” is against out Code of Conduct and we would send the user a warning to stop. I’m sure your instance has something similar written down.

According to russian over at r/hardware GPUs have become cheaper in Russia since the ban as they are now being smuggled instead of imported via Europe with all extra cost that implies.

Plenty of projects have exe files available on the release page though, it’s just hard to find unless you’re familiar with github.

Can’t say I recommend

I wrote a slur detection script for lemmy, copilot refused to run unless I removed the “common slurs” list from the file. There are definitely keywords or context that will shut down the service. Could even be regionally dependant.

Windows/Microsoft’s biggest selling point is the backwards compatibility though. It has been the corner stone of their software development.

This your brother?

Hmm, I think you’re looking for !superbowl@lemmy.world

If was suggested and voted in favour by the community. The reason people voted in favour would likely vary from person to person.

Both lemmy.world and lemm.ee are European instances ⚽

Snapchat and frequently updated Frameo picture frames seems to the go-to my cousins use to keep my grandmother updated about her great-grandchildren.

Posting public images of your children certainly got an icky feeling over here. At least after there was a push in media to make parents conscious about potential privacy infringement it may be for the child.

Thank you for the correction, you’re right. I got it mixed up with the status LED that some/most(?) smoke detectors have that will periodically blink to show that it’s active.

Regardless, a smoke alarm blinking red is to be expected, and doesn’t mean that it needs to be tested. Most of them will make a loud ping to notify the user that it requires attention, as you can’t expect people to notice the blinking LED alone.

Not if it is a photoelectric smoke detector, which is the only type you should have unless you got a good reason for ionisation smoke detector.

The blinking is the smoke detector checking for smoke particles.

I guess I didn’t read the problem properly.

Sounds like your typical game theory problem.

Not really. Just stay away from the capital/Oslo.
