⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Token invalid⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Can you try to log out and in again? I think there was an update months ago that made this necessary.

Apart from that, you may think about switching to Voyager which has very good support. Did that switch as long time Infinity/Eternity user and couldn’t be happier.

I’m not sure that’s a thing in Europe, at least I never heard about that company. I only know these Nestlé trash

What is a K cup?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could someone help me figure out how the activity stats on the sidebar are calculated?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
You mean the community sidebar? I am pretty sure it is “how many users interacted”, meaning posting, commenting, up voting, or downvoting. I one created a new community and had one post with 68 upvotes, and the sidebar showed “69 per day”.

However what surprised me, 1 minute after I created the community it also said “49 subscribers”. Wonder if those are bots or something…

I guess this is a side effect, but I doubt it is the reason.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I can play 90% of my games without efforts. 5% are to old, the other 5% are EA Games, need uplay or whatever shitty launcher, have Anti-Cheat - stuff you usually wouldn’t want to have on your PC anyway

I feel PowerPoint is much more user friendly and functional than Impress

Well there is not a lot of action going on in a chess game and you are a lot of patience, I guess that makes it feel boring for you.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cucumbers taste like the white part of watermelons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Exactly. Botanically cucumbers are berries, just like bananas which makes much more sense.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I make Lemmy feel less dead?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Never used that. I only visit All Active from time to time to see the trending posts
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I make Lemmy feel less dead?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I am subscribed to 30-40 communties. I only rook at subscribed, sorted by Hot. I am pretty happy with what I am seeing, the content changes from the morning to the evening pretty much. Yes, a lot is member, but there is also tech and politics. I even blocked .ml and still have enough content…

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Sir, I will make sure to never bother you with a PR and my terrible, terrible code ;)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
This is what I would come up with:
```
try:
    if len(foo) == 0:
    ...
except TypeError:
    ...
```
There is no need to add a None check, as foo being None should be considered as a faulty input. Avoiding the possibility of foo being None from the beginning using static checks or testing is of course the preferred solution. But in reality we do not work in such optimal environments, at least I can say that from the perspective of data science, where often procedural, untested code is produced that runs only a few times. But I get your point and I think both paths are viable, maybe we can agree on that :)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I am not saying it’s better, just that I don’t like the proposed way :) I would argue that being “pythonic” has even less value than the Zen, which I quoted because it’s true, not because it is some strict rule (which it isn’t anyway).

You could argue I also need to write that extra code for the if not case, as I explicitly have to check if it is None if my program somewhere further down expects only lists.

Hunting for those sweet milliseconds is a popular game in the Python community ;) if this mechanism is that important for your program, you should definitely use it, I would do as well!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
But None has no len
```
if not foo:  
```
-> foo could be an empty list or None, it is ambiguous.

len(foo) will lead to an exception TypeError, I can cleanly catch that.

It suggests I deal with a boolean when that is not the case. Explicit is better than inplicit, and if not foo to check for an empty list may be pythonic, but it’s still implicit af

I don’t like it very much, my variable could also be None here
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI isn’t ready to replace human coders for debugging, researchers say⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Absolutely agree. I just use it for some simple one liners like “every nth row in a pandas datagrams slice a string from x to y if column z is True” or something like that. These logics take time to write, and GPT usually comes up with a right solution or one that doesn’t need a lot of modification.

But debugging or analyzing an error? No thanks

Which makes sense for an Eternity bug
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else get the thing where images and post titles become confused? It can often be humourous.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It’s a known bug of Eternity. You have to live with it, or switch to Voyager.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is going on behind the scenes when searching for a lemmy post in a search engine?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Instances that disagree with being found in search engines are not shown. Instance admins can configure their robots.txt by adding lemmy-search. All other instances can theoretically be found. I think their priority depends on the laws of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This probably means that a post on myownlemmy1337 that is federated with lemmy.world, will be found as a post on lemmy.world.

So, if Lemmy was very famouse, I guess it’s possible to get pages over pages with the same result from different instances. However search engines usually have a way to exclude “similar” results.

For voyager it may be possible, they do not want to be found, I don’t know about this though. You could add site:vger.app to your search prompt for testing this.
