Tbh I’m just new to the computer science scene - I’ve taken one class so far on the fundamentals of programming and have only seen a real language in my free time as of yet.
It didn’t occur to me that the webpage which references another for an image would still be culpable for the space taken up by the image, because with on-disk memory management you can do tricks to reduce sizes with pointers and I just thought it would be analogous. It feels painfully obvious to me why that’s stupid now lol

Once the users browser has the path to that image…
I dunno why that didn’t occur to me, that makes sense

Do you actually have to provide the image? Couldn’t you provide a pointer to the image? Like those thumbnails that are just links on the backends but appear as images when loaded
- Comment on People who rely on their phones/computers to tell time probably forgot or didn't realize that a Daylight Saving Time-Change even happened, some might've forgotten that DST existed at all. 2 weeks ago:
Night shift worker here. May as well be a cave person. I didn’t work when DST happened, therefore it happened seamlessly to me and I am entirely unaware of it. I actually only know it happened because people were talking about it.

You could do them by hand with substitution
I was expected to memorize the integrals for trig functions. I did not. I just did substitution every time until I eventually memorized the table right around the time I finished calculus lmao

The premise here is that imperialism stopped
I don’t think my suspension of disbelief is that strong

I’m an associater too. Didn’t stop me from being top of every class I’ve ever been in. Take the time to study how to learn, specifically how you learn

The chopping technique is about eliminating risk, mostly. Sure for a single meal and being aware you’ll be fine. But getting into the habit of a good technique means you’ll be fine even when you’re tired or distracted

The other issue with periodic password changes, particularly in the workplace but also relevant in normal life, is that it causes people to write down their password. The issues with that should be glaring enough

The fuck he is. He was some overpayed dickwad with more ego than brains. Corporations should not hold any political significance, much less their executives

And you feel like you portrayed that ideology by belittling me for not being interested in Pixelfed?
- Comment on For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing 6 months ago:
Wow. Not even an ad hominem, literally just blind judgement. You have no idea what interests me, and no way to tell how I have interacted with Pixelfed. You have no concept of the idea that some people are just not into the things you enjoy.
Do you have any idea just how much content is out there in the world? You could browse through a petabyte of data and it could all be boring drivel to you because there are zettabytes of data out there in the internet. Some of it is bound to bore any random individual. That doesn’t preclude me from enjoying the entire rest of the internet.
You remind me of people in red hats.
- Comment on For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing 6 months ago:
Yeah and none of those are my niche. Not to mention, content discovery is still difficult even if you personally see things you’re interested in lol
- Comment on For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing 6 months ago:
One of the big issues that I personally had with Pixelfed is that content discovery is kind of difficult on the platform. Sure, there’s probably some pictures out there of the obscure shit I’m into. However, all I ever found on pixelfed was like landscape/nature photography and a little bit of porn

20k MAU can feel pretty dead, even 100k can if none of them are sharing things you’re interested in.

It’s a proof of concept, they’re not actually trying to power anything with this. They’re just checking their math on a small scale before doing the full scale lol

- Comment on Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women? 7 months ago:
While I do agree with what you’re saying, I actually think a “by women for women” instance has a slightly different impact than a “by women for women” community. There are definitely pros and cons for both, though

I think they’re referring to the 8 down votes they got on the post where they told people they need to watch a YouTube video

Yeah same. I’ve had many more educational moments on Lemmy, in both directions, than I ever did in 10 years on Reddit

What do I care what language the library is written in as long as it works for what I need it do?
- Comment on Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len() 7 months ago:
Doesn’t matter what it implies. The entire purpose of programming is to make it so a human doesn’t have to go do something manually.
not xtells me I need to go manually check what typexis in Python.len(x) == 0tells me that it’s being type-checked automatically
