i actually met my hero. wouldn't recommend.

@xcodesucks I don't think a stock install of Win8/8.1/10/11 can run with 512MB of RAM and 2GB of storage. How is Windows "cleaner and leaner", exactly?
Also... you do know what "patch" means, right? They're used to fix problems by updating code in files. How does this not fix the original problem? I'd love to hear a list of the problems you don't consider to be fixed in each OS that aren't overall design decisions. -
1) Lineage is a custom ROM for most devices, no?
2) do you not have magisk installed? a full, automated, proper microg install (with optional Real Ass Google Play) is one magisk module away, including spoofing. -
@exerceo Hahahahaaha... no. EU carriers probably got it from us to begin with.

"for fucks' sake."

and yet mobile providers in the US still strangle any detected video streaming until it drops to 480p/360p...

@melezorus34 you can safely leave the test harness in place on the prod server if you build it properly. taking every function, building fake data for that function in particular, then doing 100k iterations on a test machine and examining the output isn't too hard unless you're building a huge ass state machine. (It also serves as a great speed benchmark, where needed.)
-
...this would explain a few things.

reminder that amazon's mechanical turk service is responsible for a lot of AI issues with image processing because most of that workforce is so underpaid that they stave off their mental breakdowns by deliberately mis-tagging images by the millions to be racist/sexist/etc.
that and no one's made test harnesses for AI because then they'd be much easier to lodge DMCA complaints against. -
@PaperTrail please tell me you wrote tests to fuzz the inputs and check the outputs, at least? that's one of many things i like about python: you can make test harnesses for modules you're only supposed to inport and they can be made to run only when starting the module directly.

So when's the open-source toolchain launching, and are we taking bets on Apple using U-Boot?
-
@NoToJavaScript which flavor of google boot do you prefer?
-
"\r" is used by OSX, right? Did they drop that and not the weird ' and " and & symbol formatting that breaks rendering for non-Mac users?
-
i'm plenty happy with IDLE for python: it's only one step above notepad++ and a command prompt window. it gives some extra hints about what a function does if you provide it, and does basic formatting for you (like indents and error highlighting) and THAT'S IT. it's light, it's fast, it does only what i need.
-
@Fast-Nop tell that to HP/Dell/Lenovo, I just use the hardware, dude.
-
i'm partial to returning an object or False if a failure occured. it's like returning null but it won't break shit if you try to do other things with it, so you can be a little late in error handling if required for whatever reason. This doesn't apply if you have a language that doesn't have auto-casting, however.
-
@novatomic are you envious of the fact that they get funding from TV licenses? is that it? what has the BBC ever done for you?
-
@electrineer okay true, but when i have to jam something into my fans to tell if my laptop's frozen or off because they don't even vibrate at a detectable level it's an issue.
-
@dontbeevil in this case, @Lensflare can shut his mouth and deal with it.
-
@vane it's just not the same
-
@novatomic what does that have to do with the British Broadcasting Corporation?
-
@dontbeevil saying it's a "higher chance" when the logo is right there is like seeing dell supportassist on a dell laptop and saying "there's a CHANCE dell installed this but also it MAY be that microsoft is putting this on ALL windows devices" that's not how this shit works. the instant you spot the OEM logo on dumb shit like this, you know precisely who to bitch to.
-
@aviophile @dontbeevil you'd think with at least two of you arguing for 44 comments, one of you chucklefucks would've noticed the Asus logo. @SidTheITGuy go yell at your mobo manufacturer, asus does this shit all the time.
-
I miss being able to have a computer that made noise, and i'm not even that old. even so much as fan noise or any vibration at all is frowned upon nowadays. your computer SHOULD scream when you turn it on, because you apparently treat yours like shit. let your computer be social.
-
you know it's bad when OP is using chatgpt to find an error that fucking bitburner would've yelled at me about, much less any browser or linter. imagine needing a large LLM to replace a browser game that teaches you basic JS.
-
Fixing the issue would involve issuing a hardware revision and offering a free repair, not handing out a fucking $2 case that everyone already had.
-
this reeks of namespace issues and/or compiler bugs. this dev was actively harmed by the compiler.
-
@AleCx04 "they both use folders, this really is the dark souls of node_modules"
-
i still just use pip --user, i only fuck with venv at most if i need to have older versions of package when something's only compatible with, say, python 3.8 maximum, 3.7 preferred, like stable diffusion or rvc. everything else usually stays compatible, or i just don't use a library at all and roll the one function I need myself, and Python 2.4+ compatibility happens naturally.

rockchip ARM devices have "neural acceleration units" as well but they can't run standard formats, they have to be converted and you have to use a 4 year old pytensor build to run them. no support by a company that tends to embrace open source software is far better than shitass support by a company that has to distribute protected RAM init blobs and custom u-boot trees to run an OS at all because they can't see the difference between a git repo and tofu dregs.
my guess is AMD may also put support for these cores into their rocm torch builds, which require installing kernel modules with dkms anyway if you follow their official install steps. they usually have support for, or at least leak testing logs for, any new hardware long before release, so it is weird that it's not already in the kernel yet...
