Absolutely loved this. Never heard of the artist before this (though clearly she is very popular!). She seemed to have a lot of fun making the video.
The only thing that disappointed me was learning that a bunch of people had to volunteer their time to make this. Surely this made lot of money for the artist and video producers, could it really be that the margins were too thin to compensate all the people working on this?
Let's number the dudes in your image form left to right: 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Dudes 3 and 4 have no useful information. They stay silent.
Dude 1 can see one of each hat colour on the dudes in front, but cannot determine their own colour without knowing the hat colour of dude 4. They stay silent.
Dude 2 can see the hat colour of dude 3. They can determine that either they themself or the dude behind must have a different hat colour. The dude behind - dude 1 - can see both of the hat colours in front, but stays silent. This lets dude 2 know that they and dude 3 must be different colours (otherwise dude 1 would have known their own hat colour).
Therefore, dude 2 knows their own hat colour must be different to the dude in front and announces the colour of their own hat.
I am in the EU in a country that implements the GDPR, so if @ljdawson@lemmy.world has set up something like that, it's possible. But I'd be surprised, as I'm pretty sure he is British and would have GDPR-compliant advertising.
Edit: Forgot that the country I live in is no longer in the EU :(
Good question.
I am now a software developer, but in a previous career I was a logistics manager. In that job I had a lot of repetitive report downloading and creating. It would take hours each day.
I used techniques taught in that book to automate downloading reports directly, as well as generating some in SAP by automating mouse and keyboard movements, as well as generating CSVs and Excel spreadsheets. In all cases I either cut the time required or at least the time I had to be physically present.
Many jobs could have similar applications of a little Python, I imagine. Certainly not all jobs though, of course.
I do, via the !s bang. I was thrown off of using Startpage exclusively after the System1 acquisition. Since then, I've also experienced more downtime with Startpage than I find acceptable. It is nice getting the Google results via another interface though.
I default to DuckDuckGo as well. I don't really like it, and I certainly don't trust it any more than I do any other for-profit organization. I just wanted something that isn't Google, Amazon or Microsoft.
It's really quite fruitless though. Maybe 80% of my searches end up having a !s or !g (really just for variety...) thrown in, as Google's results are just better.
DDG image search spits out porn as often as it does something relevant. I can change content moderation options if I want to reduce it, but I don't have to do that with Google.
Kagi has caught my attention lately. I'm going to try it and see if it feels good value for the money. I'm not opposed to paying for search, but this does feel expensive (I say that having no idea of the true cost of running a search company). Obviously, privacy is out the window as it's paid for and linked to an account. But as I feel I'm not really getting that anywhere else either, I'm more hoping that it will just provide good search results.
Four lions is an absolute classic. Roz Ahmed's career really took off a few years after the film and it always throws me straight back to it when I see him. It actually broke Venom for me, seeing him as the villain, as for me he is only Omar.
I don't know about outside the UK, but I think it's quite a well known and loved movie amongst people in their late twenties onward.
That's so interesting. I'm a developer myself, but haven't ever tackled a making a framework. Having obviously dealt many times with assuming there must be a framework error after hours of debugging (usually to find out it was indeed a user error...), I can imagine the debacle of trying to figure that out while developing one!
What have been your biggest challenges as you've developed this?
I'd give it a go, and probably will at some point, but just don't have time at the moment. But having had a cursory glance, I'm very impressed with the documentation. The framework looks similar enough to Vue and svelte that I feel it would be easy enough for most frontend devs to pick this up quite quickly.
Like many others here, at the company I work for you get nothing.
I do one on-call shift as primary per week and one as secondary. I then also cover a week every six weeks or so.
If shit really hits the fan, them work is pretty cool about taking some time back, but we're far from micromanaged as it is, so we can just kind of make it work.
I'd say an incidency probably occurs on around half of my primary shifts (and I've yet to ever do anything as secondary), and nearly always it was something I could resolve within one hour.
Every dev at the company is on the rota once they've got a few month's experience.
I'm based in the UK so would be most active in the evening hours of UTC.
I work as a software developer with a reasonable amount of work involving server administration so if it's useful then I'm also happy to lend a hand there (even to just bounce bugs off of).
If my activity here is not enough yet, then I can share my old Reddit account (although I wiped a lot of it when the API changes were initially announced there).
I'll also not be offended if you pass me up for more suitable volunteers.
Yes, that seems rather rash. My understanding was that the admin and mod team there were quite level-headed, despite the extremity of many of their users, but perhaps not.
I appreciate this instance's stance of matching their action but being openly open to re-federation.
Can confirm. Endless rain this summer in the UK. No grass watering required (not that it is ever required...). Didn't stop my neighbour watering on the few sunny weeks we've had...
Fair enough. And I'm sure the people who volunteered were probably thrilled to be involved with the project, it really is a brilliant piece of work.
