maybe they’ll take inspiration from their avatar and next learn a programming language that’s actually good

you should learn Rust. the type system is so comprehensive that half the time you can guess what a function does (or at the very least what you’re supposed to pass to it) without a single line of human written documentation.

many posts on reddit literally are from karma farming bots though. predictable username pattern, repost from half a year ago with the exact same title that gets deleted exactly 24h later…

what kind of config file is short enough to fit on a single screen with line breaks?

Alright, the YAML spec is a dang mess, that I’ll grant you, but it seems pretty easy for my human eyes to read and write. As for JSON – seriously? That’s probably the easiest to parse human-readable structured data format there is!

I see Programmer humor lemmy is continuing the fine r/programmerhumor tradition of non programmers posting vaguely technology related memes that have dick all to do with programming

Some data formats are easy for humans to read but difficult for computers to efficiently parse. Others, like packed binary data, are dead simple for computers to parse but borderline impossible for a human to read.

XML bucks this trend and bravely proves that data formats do not have to be one or the other by somehow managing to be bad at both.

Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It’s named after the comedy group Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

Where are the fans on this thing? Please do not tell me you intend to passively cool a chip you intend to run Cyberpunk 2077 on?

Did we learn nothing from Intel era Apple? Sure, AMD chips run moderately cooler than Intel ones under the same workload, but still…

I like the idea of a plug-and-play emulation station in a retro-styled case, but that case design is copyright infringement territory. Emulation devices are on shaky enough legal ground as it is, we do not need to tempt fate

That is actually the best way of putting it.

like the S in IoT which stands for security.

I’m autistic also and I understood it just fine.

If you use the browser version of Zoom, it would have no way to know

OP should consider screen-recording her zoom calls.

Remember, if life gives you bears, use them for market research.

What smear campaign? Here’s the lead developer of the project responding to a pull request replacing “he” with “they” in the build instructions with “This project is not an appropriate avenue to advertise your personal politics.”

(side note: freefall is an awesome webcomic, you should read it!)

FFmpeg is basically the only piece of audio/video conversion software in widespread use. Everything uses it under the hood. Microsoft Teams used it to stream your webcam. VLC uses it to play video. If you’ve ever uploaded your video to an online service to convert it to a different file format or codec, chances are the server that processed it did so using FFmpeg.

I have also noticed that FFmpeg kind of sucks at generating stills for reasons I’m not sure about though.

MAME Ain’t an MP3 Encoder

You’re thinking of LAME. MAME is the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.
