I would use the internet like I did back in 2005 I guess. Seriously... the necessity of these tech companies is a mixture of them sniffing their own farts too much, propaganda from them to ensure they are perceived as essential, and finally people being too lazy to find alternatives.

The conjecture that: when tech bros talk about "disrupting the market" it's actually a dogwhistle for fraud and subverting regulations with illegal tactics quick enough to grow very big and influence governments to alter the policies in their favor; gets one more example to make it into a theorem.

Lol MPAA can get fucked. For years they wanted this when it was about their own profits but now that it is their hand that is being bitten, they cry.

The backend is not virtualbox stuff but KVM stuff. Only the frontend is virtualbox. so one can claim that it's more apt to say this is "virtualbox-ui"

Worst advice ever. Your blood pressure will rise and you will wish you were a farmer.

Don't hold your breath. Helps avoid disappointment.

In the future? This is lemmy, we can actually edit titles.

It looks like the circle that is forming over the AI industry is going to soon turn into a spiral that collapses into the center i.e. NVIDIA.

Keep Advent Of Code and Everybody.codes together => More activity in this community, more discoverability for either competitions. Only drawback => polluted feed. Which can be fixed by the tags.

May push users towards offshore crypto casinos

Which shouldn't make us work in the opposite direction. Next step is regulation of the crypto space.

This would make it illegal for internet service providers (ISPs) and web-hosting services to support RMG platforms such as Dream11, Mobile Premier League (MPL), Winzo, etc. It would also force Apple and Google to remove such apps from their respective app stores.

Sounds good to me. These gambling companies grew out of nowhere in the past 10 years and have started dominating sponsorship spots in TV, Prestigious sports tournaments.

I give up if there is no one tool but a million of them. Come back later and repeat.

Eventually just write it in python.

which makes sense to me. params is passing the reference to the dict into the function. Whereas, **params is expanding the dict into the scope of the function before calling the first line of the body.

You can update the content of the former in-place, while the latter is just syntactic sugar for variadic function arguments.

 

I am professionally a software developer for 8 years and I simply don't have ideas for personal projects (Can't find any problem that I can fix with programming). At times I feel like that's natural and I shouldn't worry about it. But on the other hand, I do like to imagine having something personal that I can work on so that even if some days on my main job are not satisfying, I can always work on my hobby project and find that missing satisfaction.

End goal here is obviously to get better sleep as sometimes my mind feels dissatisfied with the day's work.

Funnily, I day-dream about the idea of already having done the boring parts (simply manifesting a project that already exists) of some personal project and only solving exciting problems in relation to adding a new feature or exciting aspects.

This creates a problem as I hate staring at a blank file not knowing what to write.
