When possible I tell people that we can talk first for a bit and introduce ourselves later. My mind links names to persons, not faces.

Tak, ale nie wiem czy wiesz, że tagując tą społeczność właśnie w niej zapostowałeś :)

I thought I’d be using Polars more but in the end, professionally, when I have to process large amounts of data I won’t be doing that on my computer but on a Hadoop cluster via PySpark which also has a very non-pythonic syntax. For smaller stuff Pandas is just more convenient.

TLDR: Nobody died.

So far.

Yes.

Redlib does that but it’s a game of cat and mouse these days. Facebook fought off web scrapers and while Reddit is much less technically competent they’ll get there too eventually.

Reddit makes browsing without account harder and harder. I assume the end goal is a walled unindexable garden like Facebook or Discord.

I assume those who were interested enough could whip out a script to do that easily until Reddit disabled API which is the moment I lost interest in the platform. I don’t know how people do it these days without getting accounts suspended for automated traffic but it’s something you have to consider and probably the reasons why such tools are not available widely.

Reddit won’t show you that your comment was removed by a mod and shows removed comments on user profiles (unless they had to be nuked for legal reasons). If you suspect you’re shadow banned or if your comment was quietly removed you have to check for that from a separate account in that comment thread directly.

Having user supply some copyrighted software that they should own (like BIOS or decryption keys) is entirely different from an emulator or a homebrew project taking and integrating copyrighted code. They’re lucky Nintendo didn’t sue them into oblivion like that modchip guy because they really could.

Whelp, they’re lucky Nintendo didn’t care enough. Wondering what prompted this?

Apps make or break those platforms. Lemmy apps are way better than what Mastodon has for example (but I have to tip my hat to Phanpy). We got really lucky that Lemmy exploded in popularity due to Reddit API changes which meant many app developers gave Lemmy a shot. I probably wouldn’t use Lemmy so much if Voyager didn’t fill the hole Apollo left in my heart.

I was also baffled at using WW for the demo. Give me that port of Wii U port you cowards.

You don’t even need to go that far to see this technology in action. In the Eastern Europe we got microcomputers pretty late but that also meant our journey through the technological advancements from 1990 to 2010 started with a trickle of obsolete western stuff but then became a wild rollercoaster ride. At close to 40 I remember games being transmitted on the scout radio. You could also get games from magazines which simply printed source code.

If it’s anything like Analogue Pocket then the contact points will need to be in pristine condition. Blowing on them might not do the trick but isopropyl swab should.

It’s a small concession ahead of talks with Trump. This gesture has a monetary value and therefore a meaning.

I haven’t encountered a case where they’d be outright lying and the guy who runs it looks reasonably sane which is a high bar these days. I use multiple sources from different sides because the most common type of manipulation is omission of certain details and I think everyone is a bit guilty of that.

Rule of law crisis is a complex topic and I think it was handled well here, especially for someone without prior knowledge. They could go a bit more in-depth but then they’d be risking covering decades of spats between Tusk and Kaczyński.

The only way to deescalate is to arm ourselves to the teeth. The only language Putin understands is the language of strength and ignoring that can only lead to more war. Economically this is going to be a major stimulus which Europe really needs at the moment, especially Germany with their failing industries. My main worry on long term peace would be what happens to military output capacity once it’s no longer needed but we’re mostly concerned about survival. There should be also more discussion on profit redistribution so that we don’t increase wealth inequality even more with this stimulus.

Non-EU folk - this website won’t open in EU because they don’t want to follow our local user privacy protections. What they’re going to do with your data? Who knows.

Damn those rich American kids.
