Somewhat tangentially, a mosquito eradication effort increased the rates of Dengue hemorrhagic fever - the opposite of what was intended. With Dengue, if the body is exposed to multiple strains within a short time period, there's no se

Has that been proven (or disproven)? Does every finite string appear in pi? If it does, it'll be the span parameters that are illegal - and (I'm guessing) generally larger than the value that they're encoding.

> there are more trees today than there were 100 years ago. Forest harvest followed by replanting is not deforestation. That depends on the biomass levels.

It's a Chinese invasion in slow motion. The same as Africa. One day, these people will wake up and realise that they're second class citizens in someone else's country.

I think a lot of these people are on the 'spectrum' of sociopathy. At very least they're superficially charming bullshitters. Either way, they're not the sort of people to call themselves out - even when they're ful

I recursively generated a Hilbert curve, stuck four together for a Moore curve, then did a FFT (to generate the function pair θ -> {x, y}). Then I drew it using a filthy decompilation of some (java) image editing crap that I knocked up i

Those "the secret" people are going to have a lot of fun misinterpreting this.

You might be able to get a headless JVM running on the web using the LLVM backend in Graal and the WASM backend for LLVM. One thing that's missing seems to be tight integration of the UI aspects, for anything significantly advanced you

WASM + WebGPU has the potential to provide some very nice sandboxing. And a very large number of front-end devs are web only.

It's also a terrible idea from a performance standpoint.

I really liked AudioScrobbler as a name, the site felt like it lost a piece of its personality when it changed.

I cancelled the subscription long before the full on invasion. Two weeks was impressive, just not impressive enough to get me to renew.

I paid for intellij - damned near the entire architecture team where I worked had a copy, and the company sure as shit wasn't the one paying for it. (I eventually stopped subscribing, in part because they were too slow distancing thems

Just make sure that you know what you're eating - or you might die, painfully. If you take a large dose, do so somewhere comfortable and try and stay where you are.

It's still a problem if it impacts the development model - and if I remember rightly from last time Lemmy came up, it does.

Are there any FOSS licenses that cover build and deployment? The ability to deploy - especially on user owned devices, seems underconsidered to me. Then again, given the number of non-compliant routers in the world, it probably wouldn'

It doesn't have to be. A voronoi based vector codec could probably be close enough that people would struggle to tell the difference from film.

The doesn't seem too relevant - the most important part (in terms of whether or not you're dealing with an intelligence) is how the data is process - not how it's imported.

This is a very shallow article. It doesn't even go into things like the current price of 3D printing and the rate at which it's dropping. It doesn't detail the speed of printing and the rate at which it's increasing. It
