I was wondering how many people would take my comment seriously. Looks like at least 5 people.

I've always wondered, how do some smart companies, or smart film directors, or smart musicians can fail so hard? I understand that, sometimes, it's a matter of someone abusing a project for personal gain. Some CEOs, workers just w

I don't know anything about the project, I use Zed editor, but I think the logo is really cool.

You're right in that pretty much anything can be done via an API exposed via a database function. However, as they say... if it can be done, does mean it should? Now, I agree that having more sophisticated multi-dim calculations would

This is not really a problem, unless you’re trying to simulate some 3D space orbits, physics. The crossover from geo INFORMATION systems to geo simulation systems is a bit rough, but the projections and calculations on projected cartesian s

Yeah, if you want to work with GeoParquet, and you want to keep your data in that format. I can see how that's easer to use your example. That's not what a lot of geospatial data is in. You might have shapefiles, geopackages, geoj

What do you mean by "provisioning a server"? That's a strange requirement. You can install Postgis on a macbook in one command, or actually on all 3 major OS's in one command: "brew install postgis", "apt-

Ruby is in the running, so to speak, so of course that means there are thousands of people who agree with you. I'm not one of them. The fact that Ruby did not take of as much as Python did, even though there was all that RnR hype, is a

What kinds of problems are you talking about? There are problems that require you to learn new libraries and services constantly, accessing documentation, and there are actual software problems when you have to reflect on your own large cod

You flip the argument around, suggesting that calling something “conspiracy thinking” is itself a kind of brainwashing or programming, which is a common rhetorical move in conspiratorial circles. It’s the kind of reasoning that’s impossible

by Demiurge 2y ago
You see skepticism as a sign of being “incredulous” and part of the “deniers.” Basically, if I don’t accept your narrative, I'm proving your point. Classic example of how conspiracy thinking works—anything that challenges the belief is

by Demiurge 2y ago
That reply definitely reads like someone deep into conspiracy thinking or experiencing a break from reality. The mix of grandiose claims, secret knowledge, paranoia, and references to supernatural or mind-control phenomena often aligns with

Honestly, LXD commands and LXD cli would probably have worked with any backend.

Does this allow the container access a hardware USB device? I have Mooondrop FreeDSP usb-c cable with an PEQ that only works with a terrible Android app, and it takes forever to change the EQ settings via an Android tablet I have, that has

what would it look like with nearest, or gaussian filters? Would be interesting to see the same sample graphs with different kernels.

Okey, so the first thing everyone should learn is not to use "==" but use "===". Or, perhaps, just use TypeScript, right? I think that's what people call "effective JavaScript" these days.

by Demiurge 2y ago
Yeah, that would be great. I remember this was helpful in Perl, and ES6 days.

Indexing, I give you this one... I think it was intended as some kind of a gift to a "non programmer", a choice many other older language made, by the history decided to go another way, unfortunately for Lua. Still, I haven't

On one hand, you do have JavaScript ubiquity, on the other hand, you have the JavaScript "WTF" equality and typing conversion matrix, "WTF" scoping, and dozens of other foot guns that Lua doesn't have. Some people w

I actually much prefer Garmin watches, due to battery life, the workout app which has no analogues on iOS, in terms of how it tracks reps and sets, the readable screen, etc. However, its the iOS with it was just unusable. It worked great on

Yeah, actually. What seems to be the problem with it? It's zero special characters, and is very easy to read.

How is it trying its hardest when it hasn’t declared a full scale mobilization, hasn’t closed its borders, or switched to war time economy?

You’re tired, but I don’t know if I have enough brains to rewrite the API “query” from this article using brainless loops.
