Because Python wants you to read it like English: English:
x is “foo” if y is greater than 5, else it is “bar”

- Comment on Lumo: the least open 'open' AI assistant 1 week ago:
TLDR: Apps are open, models are open weight but you don’t know which one you get, and they have not yet disclosed any tweaks they may have made (although for me, it never sounded like they actually tweak the models all too much)

Which, tbf, gives you the amout you pay back in ingame currency, of which you will need at least some if you want to trade stuff / the MMO experience
- Comment on No Man's Sky: Voyagers update releases today, introduces customizable "colossal, fully furnished, completely bespoke Corvette-class starships" 2 weeks ago:
It’s okay. As the other comments pointed out, it kinda feels like a really cool tech demo. Lots of systems to look at, but everything is disconnected. That’s what makes the game feel shallow. You can completely ignore most stuff without any consequence

I was about to say, I put 2000 hours in League of Legends and I’m not sure whether I enjoyed that either :D

I really don’t know what to think about this game. It definitely has come a long way, but to this day, it feels… Shallow.
It’s a sandbox game where building, crafting and trading are not great, not terrible. It’s also an adventure game, but the story is overall very predictable and combat is again, not great, not terrible. It’s a multiplayer game, except no, not really, since you don’t share quest progesss and almost never meet random people (if you aren’t close to the center of the galaxy).
I’m about 200h into it and still can’t tell you if I like it or if it just keeps me busy. I have high hopes for Light No Fire tho.
- Comment on UltraRAM scaled for volume production — memory that promises DRAM-like speeds, 4,000x the durability of NAND, and data retention for up to a thousand years, is now ready for manufacturing 2 weeks ago:
RAM = accessible anywhere (very simply put) D = Dynamic = loses data if power is gone
This is NVRAM tech, NV standing for ‘non volatile’. That means it keeps the data if power is lost. You only need to re-write if you read that data. There is probably a hardwired option to do this immediately, perhaps even capacitors to ensure this goes through even if you happen to lose power that very moment.
Consumes extra energy, may add some latency to reads, but there’s more to being fast and non-volatile at the same time. May be wort it, may be not.

- Comment on Self hosting Signal server 3 weeks ago:
You cannot selfhost Signal, because the regular app won’t connect to your server. You could probably bridge it to Matrix I guess? I’m pretty sure it’s a thing, but I see little benefit here, besides your phone not connecting to Signal and your messages being collected in one app, if you so desire.

Oh, sorry, yes I mean a microwave + convection oven combo. Didn’t know how to translate that properly. My mom got one and it’s basically an air frier, a microwave and a mini-oven in one. Pretty cool stuff

Ingl, a microwave oven with air circulation is pretty neat. That last part is important tho

- Comment on The EU still wants to scan all your chats – and the rules could come into force by October 2025 1 month ago:
Currently, I, my entire Family and everyone I know use Signal. And everyone that doesn’t want to can contact me via Matrix or XMPP, which literally no one ever does, even thought I know a lot of IT and CS people, but I keep them as options just to offer them to people.
I mean, there is also phone, SMS and email of course, but people seem to prefer a new messenger over actually contacting me in any of these ways. And then I’m always like “look, you can choose one of countless ways to contact me, if you like none of them, that’s a you-problem”.

The trees on the left are strangely offset upwards, there is a line down the windshield which I have never seen on a bus like that, the bus also does not have a door at the front, which they typically do, and to a lesser degree that yellow looks like it belongs to a school bus, while this clearly isn’t one
