And people are seriously considering federating with Threads if it implements ActivityPub. Things have been so crazy recently that I think If Satan existed and started a Lemmy instance, probably there would still be people arguing in good faith for federating with him.
Lemmy does have karma, it is stored in the DB, and the API returns it. It just isn’t displayed on the UI.
Here people actually react to what I post and write. And they react to the best possible interpretation of what I wrote, not the worst. And even if we disagree, we can still have a nice conversation.
Does anyone have a good theory about why the threadiverse is so much friendlier? Is it only because it's smaller? Is it because of the kind of people a new platform like this attracts? Because there is no karma? Maybe something else?
Here is your Lemmy Gold:
This describes 99% of AI startups.
The company I work for was considering using Mendable for AI-powered documentation search. I built a prototype using OpenAI embeddings and GPT-3.5 that was just as good as their product in a day. They didn’t buy Mendable :)
Trust me, the shit show is glorious. I even instinctively upvoted a couple of medieval memes but quickly realized what I was doing and closed the tab.
Lemmy isn’t currently usable by “normies” but we, the weird ones are already here, building great communities, fixing bugs, developing features. Give it 6 months, and Lemmy and kbin will be ready for prime time. The world will watch it rise like a giant middle finger shown to /u/spez.
I’m firmly in the print statement / console.log camp but this article convinced me to try using a debugger.
I absolutely agree. But:
- sometimes you need to modify existing code and you can't add the types necessary without a giant refactoring
- you can't express units with types in:
- JSON/YAML object keys
- XML tag or attribute names
- environment variable names
- CLI switch names
- database column names
- HTTP query parameters
- programming languages without a strong type system
Obviously as a Hungarian I have a soft spot for Hungarian notation :) But in these cases I think it's warranted.
Well that sucks… for Reddit management
I’m sure it’s a nice client but I don’t understand why so many GUI projects have no screenshots in their READMEs. It would be great if I could immediately see if I like it without installing it.
EDIT: thanks for adding the screenshot to your post! It looks awesome!
BTW Satan is a very cool guy, follow him on Twitter: @s8n
