what

same, I was ready for this to be some transphobic thing and was pleasantly surprised!

It would be a different beast if the school didn’t allow you access coursework on a personal machine without installing their bullshit, thats a huge issue.

That’s exactly how it works at many places. Students can only use a personal device if it’s enrolled in the school’s MDM, which grants them just as much control.

Anything except the 2nd to last one, which is, unfortunately, mandated by my employer’s internal code style guidelines. 🫠

TIL that pluralistic.net is blocked on Facebook, and any links to it are automatically removed as “farming engagement”

That’s not entirely true. Practice is important, but homework actually has a negative impact on learning: https://hachyderm.io/@Impossible_PhD/112969358305278574

This may sound like a mess to you. But it was remarkably enjoyable to work in. Gone were the concerns of code duplication. Gone were the concerns of consistency. Gone were the concerns of extensibility. Code was written to serve a use, to touch as little of the area around it as possible, and to be easily replaceable. Our code was decoupled, because coupling it was simply harder.

Incredible

Agreed, unfortunately. I’m not even sure it supports defederation :/

It’s good we have “Knewbies” in a sandbox when they start.

attention all companies: please stop making pet names for your employees, it’s weird

In my experience, the larger threadiverse instances have gradually collected the worst ex-redditors, who have brought the worst of reddit’s culture. I’m unfortunately not surprised that lemmy.world has queerphobic mods, given how the users behave. 😕

my employer has decided to license an “AI RDBMS” that will dynamically rewrite our entire database schema and queries to allegedly produce incredible performance improvements out of thin air. It’s obviously snake oil, but they’re all in on it 🙄

Another vote for the steam controller - it’s versatile enough to work comfortably with every game I’ve wanted to play.

I’ve been using Xubuntu for half a decade, zero regrets.

Jain’s team then built artificial-intelligence models that were able to stitch the microscope images together to reconstruct the whole sample in 3D.

The map is so large that most of it has yet to be manually checked, and it could still contain errors created by the process of stitching so many images together. “Hundreds of cells have been ‘proofread’, but that’s obviously a few per cent of the 50,000 cells in there,” says Jain.

Ah so it’s not a real model, just an AI approximation.

The frontend is HTML only? Then I’d go with C# and ASP.NET Razor pages. Modern language with good DX, performant runtime, and server-side rendering.

Changing the domain of an established fedi instance is very difficult, almost to the point of impossibility.

In the past, people have stolen the problems to use in their own challenges, coding tutorials, and even commercial projects. The author has asked people to keep their inputs out of git or anywhere publicly searchable.

There’s a limited pool of random inputs, so it’s possible to collect them all with enough input samples. In the past, the creator has asked people not to upload their input file because there are bots that scrape GitHub looking for the inputs.

Thanks for the reminder! I almost forgot to set up my repo. 🤦‍♀️ I’ll be publishing my solutions on GitHub for anyone interested. This year I finally got around to restructuring things to keep the input files out of git, so I won’t have to feel guilty about leaking the problem inputs.

Right?? I normally love it when websites have a fun twist, but this one really needs an off button. The other cursors keep covering the text and it becomes genuinely uncomfortable to read. Fortunately, you can easily block the WS endpoint with any ad blocker.
