nothacking@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•How do you, or do you vet if a software will paywall features or "enshittify"?7·4 months agoIf it’s not running on the cloud, I can always just stay on an old version. If it’s open source, that old version can be maintained and updated indefinitely.
Assuming this has a 47 hydrogens stuck on to make it stable, I’d call it:
3-methyl-3,4,5,5,6-pentaethyl-6-buta-2-yl decane
nothacking@discuss.tchncs.deto Science Memes@mander.xyz•You'll never see it comingEnglish1·5 months agoSounds like a great reason not to bother worrying about it to me.

Or a complier that tells me when I mispell a variable in an assignment or use the wrong type for something.
Oh finally, something I can store my yield in.
No, that’s a safety feature. It’s like saying that behind every fire there’s an architect that installed fire alarms for this very occasion. Without red LEDs, people will have no way to know the robot turned evil.
nothacking@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@beehaw.org•Where to find empty vapes? I want to harvest a battery2·10 months agoOn the ground, near bus stops, parking lots, gas stations, anywhere people use them.
The funny thing about RF work is how casually a few orders of magnitudes gets thrown around. 10 dB fudge factors for assorted losses are quite common.
I’m assuming there is a lot of regional variation here, the wasps near my house have never caused much trouble, they just eat dead mice and large grasshoppers. One even let me pet it recently. We did end up nuking a nest inside the garden hose box a few years back, but I doubt the wasps chose a problematic location intentionally.
nothacking@discuss.tchncs.deto Programming@programming.dev•Math and computation algorithms: why are they needed in programming?19·11 months agoComputers can really just do two things: copy data and do math. Anytime your your doing anything but copying data verbatim, there is math involved. Anytime your reformating, filtering or acting on data their will be some math involved.
Take displaying an image: you can’t just copy image data to the screen, because it could have a different resolution, or color space, or be compressed. In all of those cases, you will need to do a lot of math to get things to work right.
The exact math varies, in graphics, CAD or geospatial stuff, expect a lot of geometry. Any sort of statistics or classifier is going to involve a lot of linear algebra. Even simply storing data in s quickly accessable manner involves quite a bit of math.
Just add a delay that pads it out the execute time to 10 seconds. O(1) ez.
I reserve .elf for executables for other platforms, like microcontroller firmware.
I dunno, oxygen’s been causing trouble recently, and it’s not the first time either.
Unfortunately, physics comes in and ruins your plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etendue
Your focal point will never be brighter then the firefly itself: https://what-if.xkcd.com/145/ (at least for diffuse light something sources that emit in all directions)
