When I first started programming I was constantly thinking the same thing: should I learn this or that language? Will it be useful or a waste of time?, etc but it really doesn’t matter. Nearly every modern language has the same core principles of variables, constants, functions and data structures. Once you’ve gotten the hang of those ideas then switching languages is just a matter of learning the new syntax which isn’t hard when you already know how it’s going to work

Also they knew exactly what they were doing before sending it ACCORDING TO THEMSELVES. They even chose not to send the email to German users because of it

Were the tickets specifically for the American games? I’m reading the article and can’t see anywhere it states the country

Get off all social media you can

This means Lemmy and the greater Fediverse too. It’s nice being part of a network of people that share similar views on things but damn this place can be depressing. Kind of just a byproduct from the state of the world but humans weren’t designed to be aware of every horrible thing happening on this planet

I love it like I loved Antergos (RIP). I’ve done “real” Arch and ran it for years but I don’t care enough anymore to configure and install every inconsequential thing, so Cachy is perfect. I really just want the newest software and AUR but the optimisations Cachy offers are also a huge bonus

Not American thankfully. Ontario, Canada

I might be exaggerating a bit but I do hate how limited men’s fashion is, especially when you exclude second layers. You can’t wear a nice cardigan when it’s 30+ degrees out so you’re stuck with just a basic t-shirt or collared shirt!

I like a good band tshirt or local art graphic tshirt under a nice flannel short aleeve.

||that might be my whole wardrobe||

They implicitly trusted the AI with no guardrails.

So, Meta released a vulnerability (an incredibly stupid one) and someone took advantage of it to gain access to an account they weren’t authorised to access… which is the definition of hacking

Fuck the USA and fuck billionaire tech bros

I’m Canadian and own a car but I was finally able to move to an urban part of my city around 5 years ago and it’s been so great.

Like, my car broke nearly two months ago and I haven’t had the money to fix it, but it hasn’t been a problem at all. I own a bike and an escooter so I’ve just been walking and using those. If it wasn’t for visiting family who live in places only accessible by car I’d get rid of mine entirely

I do loosely use stars to gauge how popular a library/framework is before investing a lot of time in it, however, I do also use other metrics like PR count, issues, etc

I wish there was a good middle ground between clickbait pop science and the raw scientific research paper that has more words and acronyms I don’t know than do

I have no interest but it’d be hilarious if we (Canada) and Mexico can turn a profit on the thing while the US is passed over like the fly-over nation it so wants to be

It’s not even remotely possible for them to declare independence without going to war with the rest of the country. Alberta holds a large amount of indigenous land that was negotiated for with the crown and First Nations leaders have been very clear on being staunchly against Alberta “independence”.

This whole thing reeks of being an American/Russian effort to destabilize Canada with the aid of the MAGA-wannabe Albertan premier

Copious amounts of what the kids call rizz

I have no sources to back this up but I’d say it’s a myth but with a tiny bit of misunderstood truth to it. When I got my lenses for astigmatism, it took a while to get used to them and not feel disoriented and I feel like its because my eyes had been so used to trying to work with the defect that it confused them when suddenly it was corrected.

It took a month or so for my eyes to stop trying to correct the astigmatism on their own, but now if I switch back to my old lenses, the astigmatism is way worse because my eyes/brain aren’t applying their own corrections to it so it’s as if my eyes did get worse. So it’s sorta true but not really

Oh damn yeah that’s pretty similar to me except my optometrists were always really nice. I started wearing glasses a decade ago when my vision was still perfectly good enough to get by without glasses but I wore them anyway just since I liked things being even just a bit clearer.

You should maybe find a different optometrist and get checked for astigmatism because you can get astigmatism corrective glasses for night driving even if you have otherwise perfect vision

My wife is like this with nearly perfect accuracy

I didn’t realise the bottom image wasn’t what everyone experienced at night until I got corrective lenses last year
