I just downloaded it! So far it's easy to pick up

I hated strawberries growing up. I would do anything and everything to not eat them. As an as adult I finally tried them again and loved them. It turns out I just hated low quality or not ripe strawberries

That is not at all what I got from looking over their steam page, whoops. But that sounds amazing and I'm getting it now

This is fantastic. I never realized how connected they all were. Thank you for sharing this

As part of AWS? S3 stands for "simple storage solution" and it is used for storing data in the cloud. A typical s3 setup has a "bucket" which would act like a folder directory on your computer. At that point it can be pretty much however you want to set it up. In theory it can store anything, as long as it can be converted into a binary string, I believe. I havent worked in AWS in a few years, but I recall it being easy enough to use for storing files when handling file transfers with other microservices like Lambdas. You just need to configure a few things, like the bucket name, the "file name" (I say it that way, because you dont necessarily have to store files - and anything stored in s3 has to be converted to that binary string), and the

It can be even more than just simple storage when used with other microservices, the possibilities can be endless

As someone who recently switch to Lemmy, I did notice that there is a general difference in the tone of conversation. This is the first time I've seen it put to words

Hi, I am a musician (thought almost entirely with using bass clef). I'm not sure I understand what you are transcribing. Are you trying to change the song into a different key, or are you just trying to write out the song as it would be in sheet music?

And just for full disclosure, I am not familiar with this song, so I can't comment on the accuracy of it how it's written

I imagine it would be "$GroupChatName has new messages..." And can be dismissed the same as any other push notification. Whether or an additional notification comes after that could be configurable

I used to do mechanical turk jobs for some quick and easy pocket money. There were several types of tasks you could do, and there was a sort of ranking system to dissuade anyone from just inputting junk instead of answering seriously. I usually stuck to surveys and things I would describe as fancy captchas. I recall a few jobs where the task was to record yourself in different environments reading the same script of text. I can't see that type of job for being anything other than training data for AI/ML

Robots.txt is a file that is is accessible as part of an http request. It's a backend configuration file that sets rules for what automatically running web crawlers are allowed. It can set both who is and who isn't allowed. Google is usually the most widely allowed domain for bots just because their crawler is how they find websites for search results. But it's basically the honor system. You could write a scraper today that goes to websites that it is being told it doesn't have permission to view this page, ignore it, and still get the information

Okay, your comment is at the top, so here is my take on the list:

There is a lot of overlap on this list and other "best (whatever) scifi" that pop up every so often. Yes Blade Runner was iconic and influential, but I already knew that.

• 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) | Good start. great visuals. lacks some context in the ending that are half explained in interviews and such. Personally, I like the book's take on it more.
• Interstellar (2014) | A Nolan film. Also great visuals. This is one of the first movies I saw that somewhat accurately portrays what black holes are supposed to look like. It has a bunch of scenes where space or relativity or physics, etc, things are explained to experts that should already know what is being said. It works to get that info the viewer, but I found it a bit jarring
• Gattaca (1997) | Anything produced by Danny DeVito (yes that one) gets my money. This is a big "What If" movie where the question is "In a world where most everyone can select the genetic makeup for their children, how does someone born naturally fit in and live?".
• Solaris (1972) | Never seen it, but I've heard good things. I tried to watch the remake with George Clooney, but I couldnt get in to it.
• Ex Machina (2015) | Great movie on the idea of an actual concept call the "Turing test". I will point out there are some trigger warnings
• Coherence (2013) | never seen it. I added it to my list
• Sunshine (2007) | I couldnt get in to this one. It may be because I just wasnt in the mood for some hard space scifi (They are trying to re-start the sun, how cool does that sounds?), or it could be because of the content. I've heard of a lot of people liking it, so check it out if it sounds interesting to you.
• Primer (2004) | This is a great take on how suddenly having the ability to time travel might affect someone. There are some nested time line stuff that could be hard to follow, but overall great
• Stalker (1979) | Haven't seen. it sounds intriguing though
• Gravity (2013) | This is science fiction in the sense that this story is fictional and takes place in space. Without being a nasa expert, everything seems to be within today's level of technology. You could think of it as a disaster movie, but set in space. Overall fun, but in a different way than some of the other movies on this list
• THX 1138 (1971) | I hated this movie. I find it derivative of Ayn Rand's Anthem, or Ray Bradbury's Farenheit 451. Those books, plus THX 1138 feature a protagonist who is a cog in their own dystopia who breaks free and goes on a massive escape, eventually finding that the world is not as destroyed as they were told to believe. I felt like it suffered from all the same criticisms that George Lucas was given during the original star wars trilogy, but without anyone to refine his idea into something more unique or appealing.
• Ad Astra (2019) | Great visuals, boring story about a man who cant move on from his deadbeat dad
• Contact (1997) | Carl Sagan's story about humanity being contacted by an alien race and given further instructions. It does an interesting exploration of science vs faith when confronted by aliens
• The Martian (2015) | Silly space action where a botanist figures out how survive on Mars and contact Nasa who have no idea that he is alive
• Blade Runner (1982) | Humans have created manufactured clone robot people. they dont like being slaves by default and revolt. Now they are hunted to extinction. Harrison Ford is the type of officer assigned with tracking down some on Earth. Amazing visuals, weird narrative. There are like, 5 different cuts of this movie and I dont find any of them particularly good. I like the sequel more.

the glaring lack of college football content on lemmy has been the biggest disappointment I have had. When I left twitter, I couldnt get real time sports news updates, /r/cfb filled that void. There is no comparable community yet in lemmy, or if there is, I havent found it
