This is the moment Trump won the election

Jump

  • Yeah, people downvoting this are delusional. This whole thing is a disaster and it will 100% benefit Trump.

    It doesn't help to close your eyes and downvote this thread. That won't make the problem go away.

    • How programmers comment their code

    Jump

  • If done right, the "what it does" is in the method name. If your method is too complicated to summarize in its name, chances are good you should split it up or extract parts of it.

  • People being triggered by the sheer existence of Electron – it just HAS to be "shitty", even if it works perfectly fine.

    • Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative

    Jump

  • W3C lists 1138 separate standards currently, so if each of their three engineers implements one discrete standard every day, with no breaks/weekends/holidays, then having an alpha available that adheres to all 2024 web standards should be possible by 2026?

    Yes, that is exactly the plan: "We are targeting Summer 2026 for a first Alpha version"

    • What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?

    Jump

  • That really sounds absurd. Both the idea itself and the fact that they somehow screwed up the execution of such a simple thing that much.

    • What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's a common fallacy in appliance brand discussions: "my grandma has a

    <brand>

    and it still works! You should buy one, too!". First of all it's survivorship bias and almost always the quality has degraded a lot in the past decades (greed and consumers that don't want to pay the price for reliable appliances).

    • Volkswagen and Rivian agree to $5 billion partnership

    Jump

  • Yeah we're all stupid, except VW and their software-defined cars. Should we cease to exist now or what are you suggesting?

    • Seriously, where do I go?

    Jump

  • Amazing, I've missed that 🤦

    • Seriously, where do I go?

    Jump

  • That seems like an overly tedious way of entering your preferences. Why can't I just rank a handful of factors (cheap housing, beaches, climate, politics, diversity) and give them some weight?

    You could even make the ranking of the factors in the current style ("snowy winters are [much] more important than beaches"). That would reduce the cognitive load of comparing 3 vs 3 properties many times in a row.

    • What do you think the Great Filter is?

    Jump

  • Who said that they eliminate competition that's way behind technologically? They haven't eliminated us, so apparently they don't. But it seems plausible that they eliminate civilizations that are on the verge of becoming dangerous - still a great filter, but probably a bit further in the future.

    • The heart we can't neglect indeed

  • There's another layer to it: it's a meme about AI

    • Europeans of Lemmy, what places in Europe should foreigners avoid at all cost?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the insight! I just hope that Porto and Lisbon don't turn into another Paris or Rome...

    • Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?

    Jump

  • That's not really how he himself describes it. His wife became a Christian and after going to church with her he wanted to investigate the backgrounds - he didn't want to disprove Christianity and was quite open-minded instead:

    She invited me to a church, where I heard the Gospel explained in a way I could understand it. While I didn't believe it, I realized that if it were true, it would have big implications for my life. So I decided to use my journalism experience and legal expertise (at the time, I was legal editor of The Chicago Tribune) to investigate whether there was any credibility to Christianity or any other faith system.

  • It really is sad. For more than 25 years I've been visiting Portugal (so yes, I'm part of the problem...) and every year it gets a bit worse: endless new hotels destroying the beautiful views of the cliffs, villages mostly catering the needs of tourists, ...

    I just wish I hadn't told everyone how amazing it is in Portugal 🥲

    • What games did you have a good time with that you just never finished?

    Jump

  • I absolutely loved that game until it got too hard for me or I got too anxious about losing my souls (putting me in an even worse position from them on). Probably also about 70% in.

    Sadly I played it on Switch, otherwise I would have used some kind of mod to lower the difficulty. Doing that would have sucked, but never finishing the game sucks even more...

    • YSK: StreetComplete app for Android, a way to fill map data in a game like way

    Jump

  • Beware! This app is an entry drug and soon you might find yourself being heavily invested in OSM, editing more complex data in other apps or on your computer...

    • Are niche pillows and cases worth it?

    Jump

  • I understand the issues with waterbeds, but for pillows I really don't see the trouble: You don't have to heat them or otherwise maintain them, except changing the water every few years, which is done in 3 minutes: unscrew, old water in the sink, new water in from the tap, close it up again.

    • Are niche pillows and cases worth it?

    Jump

  • Me too! Kind of astonished that nobody else even mentions them. I remember them being pretty hyped about a decade ago and I am still happy with my second water pillow so far.
