A true Eef Freef.

Or a cat that discovered that toilet water is fun to play with 😒

Heeell yes! I used to blast Italics all the time. It’s from that wonderful music era of my life from 2014-2016 where I exclusively found music on SoundCloud.

MY PEOPLE! I’m so used to the CMD key that I made this shitty AutoHotkey script that makes things mostly work the same in Windows. It’s glitchy and imperfect, but it’s better than changing my muscle memory.

If anyone has any recommendations to improve the situation (besides recommending that I switch OSes), then I’m all ears.

I’ve heard the phenomenon you’re describing as the “lava layers”.

I still use an external Creative sound card so I can switch my speakers over USB between my work laptop and personal desktop!

That’s why I’m rooting for Ladybird.

And now we’re doing it to the almonds smh

Skipping React hydration… so, only rendering on the server? BBC just re-invented server-side rendering, bravo 👏😆

I say this as an 8-year React developer. Damn, our industry really drank the kool-aid on on this one. Of course, plenty of people have been saying that React for static content like this has always been a misapplication of the tool, I’ve been reading opinions like that the entire time I’ve been working with it.

I’m glad BBC is doing this, though. Legitimate kudos to them for recognizing the issue and working towards fixing it. I actually think there are some great benefits that React has given us:

• A universal component interface for all JavaScript-targeting languages
• An enormous ecosystem of components
• Popularization of the “component model”, which has spread to basically every other language that is used to render user interfaces (the mental model is just that much better)
• A quickly-evolving (React is arguably on its third major paradigm shift) testbed for what works best for UI development

I would be happy if React was supplanted in the near future, but I also have some fondness for it. I know I’m way off topic on this post, just felt like talking about React.

Tracking scripts degrade gracefully, so you can disable JS, and the page should still work just fine.

I had a course in college that used this book, and I’d definitely recommend it.

I used to feel this way. Over the course of building out 2 calendar systems in my career (so far) and having to learn the intricacies of date and time-related data types and how they interact with time zones, I don’t have much disdain for time zones. I’d suggest for anyone who feels the same way as this meme read So You Want To Abolish Time Zones.

Also, programmers tend to get frustrated with time zones when they run into bugs around time zone conversion. This is almost always due to the code being written in a way that disregards the existence of times zones until it’s needed and then tacks on the time zone handling as an afterthought.

If any code that deals with time takes the full complexities of time zones into account from the get-go (which isn’t that hard to do), then it’s pretty straightforward to manage.

This is why I come to Lemmy, for bean recipes nested 6 comment levels down.

I feel like most of the most of the people here didn’t read the article or watch the video. If you’re asking “why would anyone need this”, the article touches on it:

One of Lenovo’s big ideas is that the form factor could be useful for digital artists, helping them to see the world behind the laptop’s screen while sketching it on the lower half of the laptop where the keyboard is[…]

Also, it’s a prototype, yet people are responding as if this is a product that Lenovo is launching. Even if transparent screens do become a popular but useless fad, that wouldn’t nullify the value of this prototype. Trying shit is fun, especially if it’s something we’ve been imagining in sci-fi for years!

I tried Warp back when it first came out, but haven’t really considered switching to it since then. What do you really love about it?

TwoMinutePapers is a well-established YouTube channel that does a great job of explaining new scientific techniques/advancements (usually in the areas of computer science and graphics). Do you actually have anything to say about the content of the video?

No better way to test the permissions system in your app than hosting a public demo.

This is why many languages have errors and warnings as separate things. Errors for things that for sure prevent the program from working, and warnings for things that are probably wrong but don’t prevent things from working. If you have a setting to then treat warnings as errors (like for CI checks), then you get all the guarantees and none of the frustration.

A lot of good suggestions in this post, but the only real answer here in Minecraft Dungeons (only half joking).
