Or you could just choose not to be an asshole?

If they meant it as a joke or as sarcasm, they could simply add a /s on the end. Then they would still be downvoted, because it's a pretty thoughtless and dumb thing to say, but at least their intent would have been clear.

I think people on Lemmy actually excel in social skills, especially empathy. They have had it with everyone posting absolute shit and when being called out go "It's just a prank bro". No, stop your dumb shit, it is not acceptable behavior.

Nobody is stopping you guys from writing right to left, it isn't illegal.

Oh that's really hard and basically impossible? Sounds like a skill issue

Have you seen the price of chocolate lately? You'd be happy to get 1 M&M for 50 cents.

Typescript on the other hand: Exwuse me sir, you seem to have a little oopsie right here. Oh right! Let me just fix that right up.

Nah fuck it, I'll just turn on the radio. I don't like pop songs or people talking all the time, but it's probably fine for the 4 min drive?

Somehow the entire 4 minutes are only advertisements. And changing channels doesn't help because all the channels sync up the times they do ads to prevent people from switching around. And even worse, it's the same thing on the drive back.

She died about 10 years ago. I love and have loved all the pets I've ever had, but Pyxel was something special. She was very headstrong and did whatever she felt like, getting pissed off if you did something she didn't like. But when she was in the mood she would be the sweetest thing in the world.

She was saved from the dumpster, along with her mother and brother. The mother had to be put down and a lot of the brothers and sisters didn't make it from being dumped in a trash bag. But Pyxel and her brother made it and we adopted them from the rescue when they were very young still.

I remember Pyxel sleeping for hours in my lap, or in the cat bed on my desk. When I was working from home, she slept in the cat bed, till she got fed up, went for a drink and a snack only to get back and jump in my lap because it was her time and she would let me know it.

Still miss her every day.

"He's probably just joking" is something I heard so much over the past few years about things the right has been spewing. THEY ARE NOT JOKING, THEY ARE NEVER JOKING! I don't know how this is a hard thing to understand.

That's because of the way these scales work. They use a material that deforms under stress and when it deforms the resistance changes. By putting current through this material and measuring the voltage drop, it can be mapped to how much stress the material is under and thus how much weight is on the scale.

This is a pretty roundabout way and has a lot of caveats, but it is very cheap. So cheap scales always work this way. That's why they aren't super accurate and have deviations depending on things like temperature. Another big downside is any permanent deformation ruins the calibration, giving incorrect results. That's why you never put more weight on kitchen scales than it says, it will break them.

The issue you are running into is the way it measures. It applies a very specific voltage and current in order to get the result. The lookup table it uses is only valid within a narrow range. When the battery voltage goes outside that range, it can no longer perform the measurement. Even though there's plenty of juice for things like the little processing chip and the LCD display. They don't need a lot of power and can do with low voltages. But it can no longer weigh anything so it just errors out with a low battery warning.

Rescued old CRT (imgur.com)

Rescued old CRT I put a lot of work in. Was totally dead when I got it, rescued it to be almost perfect again.

It still has an intermittent horizontal size issue and the power button has some cosmetic wear. But at least the power button works, it used to only work when you would hold it down.

Be sure to enable the audio for some good retro tunes coming from the monitor.

Serious question. I know there are a lot of memes about microservices, both advocating and against it. And jokes from devs who go and turn monoliths into microservices and then back again. For my line of work it isn't all that relevant, but a discussion I heard today made me wonder.

There were two camps in this discussion. One side said microservices are the future, all big companies are moving towards it, the entire industry is moving towards it. In their view, if it wasn't Mach architecture, it wasn't valid software. In their world both software they made themselves and software bought or licensed (SaaS) externally should be all microservices, api first, cloud-native and headless. The other camp said it was foolish to think this is actually what's happening in the industry and depending on where you look microservices are actually abandoned instead of moving towards. By demanding all software to be like this you are limiting what there is on offer. Furthermore the total cost of operation would be higher and connecting everything together in a coherent way is a nightmare. Instead of gaining flexibility, one can actually lose flexibility because changing interfaces could be very hard or even impossible with software not fully under your own control. They argued a lot of the benefits are only slight or even nonexistent and not required in the current age of day.

They asked what I thought and I had to confess I didn't really have an answer for them. I don't know what the industry is doing and I think whether or not to use microservices is highly dependent on the situation. I don't know if there is a universal answer.

Do you guys have any good thoughts on this? Are microservices the future, or just a fad which needs to be forgotten ASAP.

Yes the compiler/interpreter can figure it out on the fly, that's what we mean by untyped languages. And as stated both have their merits and their faults.

Elon doesn't know what the words mean and just chimes in with his AI future BS.
