For anyone that has had even moderate experience with TikTok comment moderation, it becomes clear very quickly there's an incredible bias that seemingly disfavours Western interests. This includes calls towards extreme violence that sh

I wonder why there's no standalone app for PCs.

I have to say this is surprising. I have a cousin who co-founded what was once the largest email spam filtering company in Europe. He said that if he could get a do-over he'd just take a 9-to-5 and not deal with the stress and how much

So your car relies on the very things that may be unavailable in a major disaster scenario? I wonder if we're building insufficient redundancy into our civilisation always assuming all the modern niceties must always be there.

Not to mention the rather consistent crashing. I see it across multiple systems which makes me wonder if the developers even use it themselves.

Thunderbird seems to run everything in a single thread, something I only noticed when I tried to sync some large mailing list folders and the UI basically became unusable. I was really hoping to switch to it before this cropped up.

You're right in that only the libiio firmware relies on the CPU to forward the samples out to the ethernet interface. The UHD firmware on the other hand does not seem to occupy the CPU to do this, however I have still had trouble getti

They're great for all sort of exploratory and prototyping work on the cheap. There's a pretty active community as well developing all sorts of software tools to give you a leg up.

The AntSDR is a pretty solid piece of kit. It's compatible with the ADALM-PLUTO, so the available documentation is pretty great, and it's got both a compact and very solid construction (unlike a lot of the other offerings in the m

Oh good, Reddit seems to be leaking in again.

Your quotes seem to reinforce parent's assertion he's not talking about version control in the form of tooling but some kind of versioning in the code itself: "...while tests and versions..."

Conventions really don't bother me, I'm happy to adapt. Even case insensitivity, while not so common on Unix, can generally be dealt with. Underscore insensitivity though is kind of wild and breaks a lot of things (and a case inse

The language has a lot going for it, however, its chosen scheme for identifier resolution undermines a lot of existing tooling people are used to using with other languages, which has kept a lot of people (including my self) away from serio

Digital doesn't mean binary. A digital system must simply occupy a fixed number of levels, rather than the contiguous values of an analogue system. Binary systems, with 1 and 0, just happen to be one example of that. There's plent

Apparently this later became ISO 2047 and most of these characters are mapped into Unicode (with the exception of a few which have reasonable substitutes). I was wishing for something like this recently so I'm genuinely pleased to know

While I hadn't considered the emphasis argument before, I think it actually makes a lot of sense. You're kind of front loading the mutation context in your consciousness.

That may or may not still be too simple a model. Cells are full of complex nano scale machinery and not only might it me plausible some of it is involved in the processes of cognition, I'm aware of at least one study which identified s

By default Android is the same but it let's you turn it off. With the lock screen you can reduce feedback to only the password stars appearing and no key highlights. With password elsewhere you can remove the momentary password charact

Weirdly it works fine for me in Firefox but just stays loading forever in Chrome.

I don't think you need such extreme relativistic speeds to obtain the desired result though. The above assertion that every proton would have the energy of a baseball puts us at a rather incredible speed. A quick Google gives the energ

The mistake here seems to be the somewhat naïve suggestion that the Soviet Union only took its path because the wrong people happened to find their way into leadership, rather than recognising that attempts at coërced ideological purity alw

The cynic in me suggests this is true of both major parties in US politics. The sets of things they want to you learn and don't want you to learn -- usually because it's just too hard to have a public conversation due to ideologic

It can be taught but most people have little motivation to learn. Genuine verification of claims is a lot of hard work so for most people the question becomes: Why bother learning how? First, the warm and fuzzy feeling you get by confirming

I mean, only because it's possible to learn to live with doesn't make it pleasant. Especially for managing large projects it can get unwieldy. Most high level languages I can think of have moved away from this approach. I used to

Technically correct but not really clear of it helps clear communication in this context. SI natives think of a "kilometre" as its own thing (in the same way one thinks about a "mile") rather than thinking about it as a

What's the utility of that? Self driving cars are meant to replace all humans, not just the safest ones.

I don't think someone doing video editing or 3D rendering is likely to agree with you here...

While I'm generally on board with this principle, I felt, given the nature of the conversation, this was a particularly egregious instance. Besides, sometimes new users can use a reminder. I'm generally not a fan of absolutist rul
