No, they haven’t. Old Xbox and PlayStation controllers often end up with stick drift being what kills them.

On top of that, newer games that have deadzone settings actually let you see how much games have to compensate for stick drift.

A normal ‘working’ controller, is likely unable to use the first 10% of it’s motion range because it has to filter that out for stick drift. That makes the controls feel way less responsive compared to a hall effect stick where you can eliminate or minimize the deadzone.

Lmao, this is hysterical nonsense.

Hey everyone on Windows, is your machine filled with thousands of shady app stores because you have the ability to install Steam? No? What a shocker! Who could have predicted!

The developer I report to was in charge of that side of the code base and doing all the code reviews for it … I thought he had a handle on it :/

We have linting set up in our codebase, I had to switch and focus on one half of our project, and I nearly lost my mind when I came back to the other side and realized that every time someone said they were ‘addressing linting issues’, that actually meant they were putting eslint-disable everywhere until the pipeline stopped complaining.

That kind of boneheadedness is annoying, but it’s at least just annoying and wastes a bit of time. Tailgating and driving impatiently actually gets people killed every single day.

But seriously people, you’re supposed to leave enough space to be able to come to a full stop if the person in front of you were to suddenly come to a full stop.

Can you bring a 60mph car to a stop in 10 bible lengths? No? Then backup further.

This is a really good interview, and does a good job highlighting Javascript’s biggest strength: it’s flexibility.

“It was also an incredible rush job, so there were mistakes in it. Something that I think is important about it is that I knew there would be mistakes, and there would be gaps, so I made it very malleable as a language.”

He cites the “discovery” of asm.js inside of JavaScript, calling it “another thing I’m particularly proud of in the last 10 years.” It uses the bitwise operators that were included in the original JavaScript which are now the basis for a statically-typed language with machine types for high-speed performance. “If it hadn’t been in there from 1995, it would’ve been hard to add later. And the fact that it was there all along meant we could do incredibly fast JavaScript.”

He tells InfoWorld it’s “this very potent seed that was in the original JavaScript from the 10 days of May in 1995.” JavaScript’s 32-bit math operators (known as bitwise operators) trace their lineage all the way back to the C programming language — and to Java. This eventually led to WebAssembly — a way to convert instructions into a quickly-executable binary format for virtual machines — and the realization that with a JavaScript engine, “you can have two languages — the old language I did with the curly braces and the functions and the shift operators, and this new language which is a binary language, not meant for reading by humans or writing. But it can be generated by compilers and tools, and can be read by tools…”

Being dismissive doesn’t sound cool when you’re objectively wrong.

No there absolutely is not ‘just as much’.

Literally at a core fundamental there isn’t in terms of what users see, since lemmy’s algorithm isn’t engagement driven.

Just a friendly reminder that a usb microscope is cheaper than a chaturbate subscription.

Undoubtedly, but we still chose to come to Lemmy because we visited it and saw a bunch of people that we mostly agreed with on it.

Think about how many Lemmy users block hexbear or lemmy.ml, or would spit in disgust when they visit gab or voat or something.

Users prune those sources because they aren’t interested in hearing wildly toxic fringe ideas (or flat out being propagandized to), but it’s still fundamentally up to you as a user to decide what you consider rationale and worthy of discussion, and then going forward the content you see on here is only what’s shared by very like minded individuals.

Don’t get me wrong, I think that Reddit and other corporate owned social media intentionally promotes rage bait and other distressing content, both in comments and posts, and that drives people to go even more nuts and become more polarized compared to a non-engagement driven algorithm like Lemmy’s, but even open and decentralized social media platforms create filter bubbles and information silos.

The internet inherently creates information silos, because of the nature of how it works.

Cable TV, Newspapers, the Radio, etc. were all broad-cast networks, as in one person talks and that gets cast broadly to all listeners on the network.

Channels provided some level of user choice in what they listened to, but not very much. At most they still picked between only a handful of different options.

The internet fundamentally isn’t a broadcast network though, it’s a messaging network. When you publish a video on YouTube it isn’t broad cast to every one with an internet channel, instead, the users goes out and looks for the information they want and requests and YouTube sends it back to them.

This inherently creates filter bubbles because the information you receive is based on your own existing preferences and requests, which creates a feedback loop the reinforces your opinions.

Yeah I currently use Printables just because I trust Prusa more than the others, but at the end of the day Prusa is still a private company that could change its policies and decide to fuck over all its users or sell out to a company that does.

Thingiverse is just slow and crappy these days, Makers world defaults to locking everything down and not allowing remixes, so an open federated alternative would be great.

Most overrated language imho. I actually enjoy Java more.

But inflating the base battery capacity to cover people having showers at 5pm because it’s easier than storage water heaters and time/remote controls is stupid. You can reduce the base need for batteries by reducing the need for electricity in the first place and reducing the use of vehicles that need to carry batteries in place of e.g. overhead catenary.

A solution that doesn’t take into account human nature isn’t a solution.

2. Distribution doesn’t just include long distance distribution. It includes all the wiring between transformers and houses and all the internal wiring of the house and all the devices inside etc.

Question, is that how MacOS works?

OS and security is one thing. Who you trust is another thing. On their mobile OSes, Apple artificially conflates the two to keep you listening to them out of fear of losing security, when they know damn well jts entirely possible to provide a secure OS that lets you choose to trust someone other than them for everything else.

It’s founded on the article not making a cohesive argument. Current copper usage is primarily in consumption and distribution, not generation.
