- Comment on efficiency 8 months ago:
Yes yes! But wasn’t there some limit, like if you had a 1Mbit cartridge you still had to shuffle the data around? Or was it just a penalty to map a different chunk of memory?
My memory is sure not that fast or reliable:-)

I don’t know as the (cURL http) API I’m using is confusing for messages so I only have the servers & communities.
If I get it up and running I’ll tell :-D

Use png and IDK I don’t remember which cmd line soft but it stripped out unused colors and compressed images like that one hard.
That, without the red lines and circles, and without jpeg jitter should be like 1kb. Or less less.
Now, as an oldtimer, when you load that 1kb image up, it will still take like 640x320 bytes (it was all 8bit) so 200KB of RAM. But back in the day I guess it was more like the original GB 160x144 so 22.5KB RAM needed to show that image.
Did it work like that?
No, because cartridges didn’t have a lot of space, and the consoles didn’t have much RAM, so you used tiles. You had a tile map image, each tile was 8x8 pixels pointing to a palette (so you could use 4-bits for the color. More or less so, there were a lot of ‘modes’). Each tile had a number and your screen was some 20x18 tiles x 1 byte numbers, designing the ‘tile’ to be shown at that particular position of the screen.
All done by hardware so way fast!
To make the scrolling run you had a ‘delta’ pixels to slightly move the “screen” around.
Fun times.
Time to go to bed 😪😴

I made a crude lemmy scanner, but as I’m using the “http api” I’m a bit stuck at servers and instances. Almost 1800 servers and IIRC (I’m on my phone) some 40.000 communities. Yay!
I know the official api docs, but I don’t know how to really use it, just send a json to some server? Would love to have an easy example and I’ll go from there (family, work, art, and other gets in the way).
The goal would be to figure out how to make a search engine without storing the whole lemmyverse locally.
FOSS obviously.

Nice.
I thought it was someone making a bunch of bot accounts for the future…

- Comment on Give me Options or give me death 9 months ago:
Whoah, that seems like you’d flesh out code elsewhere, you know when you throw stuff together to make it work, and then fix it up to standards.
Feels like you should have to make git commits perfectly well before being able to compile…
Put that overwhelmingly intrusive thing in a hook checking out your commits instead (when you push your branch ofc).

- Comment on Why were so many people believers in the conspiracy that 9/11 was an inside job 9 months ago:
Yeah back in the day we were bored most of the time, news was in a paper or in 1 hour of TV in rhe evening.
Off course everyone was hyped up on any kind of weird news or other, 7-11 was just bigger than the classical ones like ghosts or murders etc.

Thanks for the link, and yeah I devoured the books back in the day but wouldn’t recommend them or talk well about them today because the writer went apeshit pro TERF and more. I mean WTF.

Maybe so it won’t flicker when filmed?

- Comment on Why do we use average instead of mode? 9 months ago:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 45, 98, 100, 100 => 100
1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 45, 98, 99, 100 => 3
1, 2.999, 3, 4, 5, 45, 98, 99.999, 100 => ?
It will only work on datasets where you have few very distincts values but also lots of values.
I guess we don’t like it eather because shitty headlines would have a field day if people even knew “mode” might be about in statistics (or am I thinking too french?). Thank god for that naming BTW.

Aargh triggering shit yeah it’s horrendous what funneling everyone on the internet through a single (or so) “research portal”

But made its best to make you stay on the page over the 12 second watermark or some SEO bullshit.
- Comment on Average website visit in 2024 9 months ago:
Be fair, it’s not always working but more often then not IMO.
I’d love somewhere to reporh those assholish designed (so illegal in the EU) ones, like the French CNIL or something?

As a European (we had slavery, made more wars than you can imagine and have probably the worst history you can’t even imagine) nice try locking people up in “black” vs “white”.
