I occasionally see similar complaints, and I’m sure it’s legitimate for some users. But personally I don’t get it. I don’t block NSFW content, and yet I rarely see it in /all. When I do it’s usually a bunch at once, but like I said it doesn’t happen a lot.

The only thing in /all that used to bother me is the sports stuff, but by blocking a single community that’s mostly gone now.

Ah Lemmy, downvoting an honest question. Never change.

rule34.xxx is a website where users can post naughty drawings, renders, etc. of mostly anime or computer game characters. Think of your favourite character of your favourite anime, game, comic, etc. Chances are there’ll be images of them on there.

It sounds like a way to pressure the politicians who won’t let them have unbridled freedom to exploit people on their platforms. I hope it won’t work.

Say here’s a thought: can we sue ad companies for theft of electricity? They’re using my electricity to display their ads, without my consent.

in which the service admitted to “a catastrophic error of judgement”

It’s fancy text completion - it does not have judgement.

The way he talks about it shows he still doesn’t understand that. It doesn’t matter that you tell it simmering in ALL CAPS because that is no different from any other text.

Shakespeare may have coined a lot of English words, but only Wallace can claim deez nuts.

Am programmer. Hate it.

I actually think the argument for mixing tabs and spaces makes a lot of sense. Use tabs for indentation, coupled with spaces for alignment (e.g. of function arguments). It eliminates the downsides of using tabs resp. spaces exclusively. But since nobody uses it, I never have either. Following the style of the project at hand is the way.

I got mine free, from a bunch of stuff our company IT was throwing out because it was too old. That was over a decade ago, and it’s still the best keyboard I’ve ever had.

A nice post, and certainly worth a read. One thing I want to add is that some programmers - good and experienced programmers - often put too much stock in the output of profiling tools. These tools can give a lot of details, but lack a bird’s eye view.

As an example, I’ve seen programmers attempt to optimise memory allocations again and again (custom allocators etc.), or optimise a hashing function, when a broader view of the program showed that many of those allocations or hashes could be avoided entirely.

In the context of the blog: do you really need a multi set, or would a simpler collection do? Why are you even keeping the data in that set - would a different algorithm work without it?

When you see that some internal loop is taking a lot of your program’s time, first ask yourself: why is this loop running so many times? Only after that should you start to think about how to make a single loop faster.

In my experience, immature posts are made by people well over 13.

To my social feeds? I doubt it. Plenty of fediverse content, but not added by Threads.

Very likely - but that’s not going to happen. Some people will watch less, some will complain but keep watching the same amount, and the majority will just take it as a fact of life and not change their behaviour.

Ooh interesting, thank you!

Isn’t the point of a haka to be intimidating?
