I’ve used TH72 a bit. I’d describe it more as shock proof than flexible. It’ll certainly make your miniatures robust, but it’s nowhere near as soft as something like TPU.

it’s pretty good for things that I can eye scan and verify that’s what I would have typed anyway. But I’ve found it suggesting things I wouldn’t remotely permit to things that are “sort of” correct.

Yeah. I haven’t bothered with it much but the best use I can see of it is just rubber ducking.

Last time I used it was to asked how to change contrast in a numpy image. It said to multiply each channel by contrast. (I don’t even think this is right and it should be ((original value-128) * contrast) + 128) not original value * contrast as it suggested), but it did remind me I can just run operations on colour channels.

Wait what’s my point again? Oh yeah, don’t trust anyone that can’t tell you what the output is supposed to do.

There are sections of both the right and the left that have anti-authoritarian tendancies.

The libertarian right tends to view things purely in terms of government over reach, whilst the left tends to view things in terms of the power of capital.

Leftists saw Facebook pushing propaganda for the highest bidder, Reddit trying to be safe to sell to investors and twitter basically becoming a project to reflect Elon Musk’s personal opinions.

Out of that came a bunch of attempts at creating new social networks. The right wing attempts were not cognisant that the aforementioned were the natural result of trying to get rich off it, while the left attempted to make it impossible to get into that position.

How do you decide it’s a good idea to risk getting a criminal record for fraud in the hopes of winning just one day’s salary!?

Solar panels on cars are thought of the wrong way. The responses in this thread really demonstrate that.

It’s true that they’re kind of pointless on EVs, because they’re never going to supply enough power to not need a proper charge, which makes the panels redundant.

Where they could be useful is hybrids, sold as something that makes the engine 10-20% more efficient.

I’m blaming imgflip, not my incredible laziness

Search for “Hexamethyldisiloxane adhesive remover”. It’s designed for removing ostomy bags but it will remove pretty much any gummy sticky glue from anything with very little effort.

My point isn’t actually about the software.

Agile is a limited form of workplace democracy that succeeded because the usual forms of disciplining workers couldn’t be enforced to stop it. It’s taken off in software because the outlay for software is so low that people can just quit their jobs and start a rival project with preferable working conditions. It’s stuck around because it’s significantly more effective than dictat.

I have problems with agile too. A lot of the “ceremonies” seem more like cult rituals and bad practices are often assumed to be self justifying when they should be interrogated. (I once had a bust up in the office because I insisted in creating a future proof test framework instead of writing just what’s needed at the time. I was overruled and I’m still mad about it).

So I guess my point isn’t even about the specific agile practices either.

The point is that workers are able to self manage when they’re allowed to, and agile has accidentally proven this to be the case. Other work places should adopt some of these ideas. And these ideas should be pushed further, into business decisions and HR and management. And physical communities etc. all the way up to actual government.

To be honest I’d say it’s more similar to anarchism than socialism. Anarchism is voluntarist whilst socialism demands state power first. Both are ideally paths to communism* though so I’m going to say “communism” 'cause it annoys the most people.

communism as in post capitalist, post state utopia, not Stalinism*

Lmfao

I know a joke about UDP.

I know a joke about TCP too.

Did you get it?

What is impact engineering though? If it’s it’s just agile while being cognisant of technical debt over MVPs, I don’t know if it’s necessarily that different.

It seems the study was designed to sell a book and I can’t find anything about what that book says. I should probably read it but the bait way it’s being sold makes me resistant to paying to find out.

There’s some weird witch hunt going on against Dessalines on there. I don’t agree with him on everything, but them trying to hound him out for being a communist, whilst using software he made because he’s a communist is kinda funny.

It’s half way to self management.

Software exists in a world that kind of exists outside of property. Cynics like to think that Agile got big because as some kind of fad because the kids love it, but the reality is that fully hierarchical models just cannot keep up with self organising teams.

The old model - the model that most of the rest of the world of work still uses - simply cannot compete on a level playing field where the means of production (a cheap computer) are available to all. A landowner can stop you building your own house, but Microsoft can’t really stop you building your own software, so they still have to put in work to collect rent.

Imagine what we could accomplish as a species if the goals and distribution of resources were also decided democratically.

Right wing free software users love from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs until you point out what it is.

Then you get whatever this lemmy-wide tantrum is.

I disagree with Dessalines about some stuff but the guy is a don.

The point would be that it’s a failover. It takes about two seconds for the video here to start streaming from the webseed and that’s probably just the wait for enough video to load in order to render. The standard peers don’t really become load bearing until the server is struggling.

This is a good answer.

I’m not sure if I’d agree that instance to client is infeasible though. Peertube does it OK.

I wish IPFS was a solution but it’s just broken. I’ve got goto social running on a raspberry pi on a residential connection. If I try to run IPFS, my router crashes as it seems to try and connect to every peer on the network.

I’m thinking in terms of what happens when someone on a $5 VPS hosting plan uploads a large image or small video and a thousand other instances want to grab it. The latency of a torrent isn’t as much of a problem as the server falling over. This is for propogation between servers rather than when a user requests a file.
