Interesting product, might keep an eye on it

Huh, I had no idea that E-ink had gotten that far, impressive stuff. Makes me want a work laptop with E-ink, if it got the same performance with colour.

I swear, people either think it’s a wish granting genie or a worthless hallucinating scam. There is zero room for actual rational discussion. It’s either magic and perfect or the exact opposite and a curse. It’s either the coolest modern tech or an environment destroying disaster. Either we should invest all our money in it, or none.

That just seems to discussions about anything on the modern day Internet in general. Whenever I talk to programmers in real life, the discussions tend to be nuanced with people acknowledging both the pros and cons.

It seems like with further testing that boost doesn’t handle it properly when there isn’t a double newline before the table, even though it works fine in the default lemmy browser and in tesseract

Depends entirely on what games you play. Older audience are probably more likely to be into older less demanding games too. Personally the most recent game I’ve touched are from 2020 and 2023, and those are two big exceptions.

1000$ isn’t all that much for a purchase that should last for several years if you’re an adult with a steady job and your primary hobby is gaming.

« The problem with grabbing small snippets of code is a lot of context is lost.» does not mean that a lot of additional code is required to understand the context, additionally, simple code may require you to read a bit of code to understand it.

Simplicity does not mean small scale, nor that it must be understood at a glance.

Rich Hickey got a great presentation where he discuss simplicity vs complexity. It’s worth a watch if you want to better understand the concepts.

Simple != few lines of code, nothing incompatible about those two statements

You should probably watch the video before criticising the tech

I got a bot on lemmy that scrapes espn for sports/football updates using regex to retrieve the JSON that is embedded in the html file, it works perfectly so far 🤷‍♂️

Dosage depends on the size of the person, there is no flat number. For people who lift with the intention of gaining muscle size, there’s is a positive trend of additional hypertrophy that starts to flatten out at around 1,6g/kg.

From the second sentence on the page:

It is different from loss leader marketing and product sample marketing, which do not depend on complementary products or services.

So the Razor and blades model would probably be the more accurate term for what people thought the new steam hardwate would be, yeah.

Though steam won’t lock you to their services.

A product sold at a loss/very attractive price to attract customers. The idea is that they customers will come due to the cheap price of a desirable product and buy additional other stuff at the store, which should hopefully make up for the loss.

E.g. a restaurant advertise cheap burgers to attract customers, and then make the profit on alcoholic beverages that customers buy alongside the cheap burger.

Though to be fair, I think the study would yield similar results to pretty much every country.

They do, it’s just lemmy hiding the mod usernames for normal users. Admins can see the moderator names in the mod log.

Assume you’re saving X amount of money each month for your retirement.

Your options for storing that money is either:

1. In cash which will “lessen” in value as time goes by due to inflation
2. In a savings account with middling interest rate
3. Or you could invest in the stock market which will typically offer better return.

Assuming you go for option 3, would you choose to invest in a company with zero growth meaning your retirement fund won’t grow, or would you choose a company that is constantly growing?

Nobody would choose to invest in a company with zero growth or which doesn’t return money back in the form of dividends.

You’re objectively better off investing in companies that grow since those are the companies that will grow your investment.

Certain grifters are advertising taking essential amino acids supplements instead of protein. Presumably his team concluded that there’s no upside to taking essential amino acids supplements when he gets enough protein.

MongoDB handles web scale. You turn it on and it scales right up

How can it be profitable? Surely the energy cost would surpass that value of a single search?
