All of those languages will convert numbers into booleans, 0 is false, all other numbers are true.
moomoomoo309@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.ml•Inside a phone smuggled out of North KoreaEnglish21·1 个月前You’re right! I thought the meaning of whataboutism was more specific than it was, you just have to respond to an accusation with another accusation, that’s it! TIL
moomoomoo309@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.ml•Inside a phone smuggled out of North KoreaEnglish12·1 个月前Oh, it’s definitely ad-hominem, that I agree with - they were literally testing your biases, as they stated. I don’t think it’s whataboutism, just ad hominem, actually. They’re accusing you of being as biased as anyone else, then asking a shibboleth to prove their point - the whole premise is ad hominem at that point. I think the differentiating factor is that the questions were about your beliefs, not about the actual events they brought up.
moomoomoo309@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.ml•Inside a phone smuggled out of North KoreaEnglish17·1 个月前No, it’s really not. Once they said “litmus test”, that makes it clear they’re doing it intentionally, not as a logical fallacy - it’s gauging bias on common topics, which is relevant to a discussion on bias and propaganda. It’s not a series of seemingly-related non-sequiturs that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.
I’d love to be proven wrong here - how is what they brought up not relevant to the topic of bias and propaganda, especially wrt the west?
moomoomoo309@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.ml•Inside a phone smuggled out of North KoreaEnglish410·1 个月前That’s literally not whataboutism - whataboutism is when you use irrelevant topics to incorrectly prove a point. The poster literally said it was a litmus test, which means mentioning multiple things as they did is correct and is not whataboutism, especially since their argument is about propaganda.
moomoomoo309@programming.devto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Are IDEs really like this ?English3·1 个月前It has an integrated browser in Ultimate, not in Community.
moomoomoo309@programming.devto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.English11·2 个月前If they’re on android, try revanced. It’s a patched YouTube apk, so the interface is the same (unless you change stuff, like, for example, disabling shorts - but by default, it’s the same).
moomoomoo309@programming.devto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Which of these javascript expressions is false?English30·2 个月前It’s C, NaN is never equal to itself in floating point, that’s not just a JS thing.
moomoomoo309@programming.devto Linux@lemmy.ml•Can someone get through college on GNU Linux?English26·2 个月前Yes, except online exams. The online spyware they make you install for those is designed not to work on a VM or anything like that. I had to keep a barebones windows partition around just for that.
You’re welcome! I’ve had to do that exact process more than once, so I had a sneaking suspicion you weren’t quite up shit’s creek yet.
Live boot Linux, install testdisk in there, and try to see if it can find it. It’s probably still there.
moomoomoo309@programming.devto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•docker compose illustratedEnglish1·2 个月前Or a wireless winch, if I were to hazard a guess.
moomoomoo309@programming.devto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Programmers then and nowEnglish10·2 个月前“Creates a whole game in assembly” is probably referring to roller coaster tycoon, which was written by a man. (lots of other games were written in asm, like many NES games, but I’d wager RCT was what they were alluding to)
moomoomoo309@programming.devto Technology@beehaw.org•Open source AI models favor men for hiring, study findsEnglish1·2 个月前And you think there’s not bias in those rules that’s notable, and that the edge cases I mentioned won’t be an issue, or what?
You seem to have sidestepped what I’ve said to rant about how OpenAI sucks when that was just meant to be an example of how even those best informed about AI in the world right now don’t really understand it.
moomoomoo309@programming.devto Technology@beehaw.org•Open source AI models favor men for hiring, study findsEnglish4·2 个月前Sure, who will it impersonate if you don’t? That’s where the bias comes in.
And yes, they do need a guide, because the way chatbots behave is not intuitive or clear, there’s lots of weird emergent behavior in them even experts don’t fully understand (see OpenAI’s 4o sycophancy articles today). Chatbots’ behavior looks obvious, and in many cases it is…until it isn’t. There’s lots of edge cases.
Oh, I know this one! Make sure you’re using pipewire and use HDAJackRetask. You can reassign the ports to whatever, you can even swap mic and headphone if you want.
moomoomoo309@programming.devto Technology@beehaw.org•Mozilla Foundation Calls on Tech Industry to Block ICE ContractorEnglish26·4 个月前Something that annoys me about people who love to harp on about how bad Mozilla is because they’ve gone downhill (which they have): Who is better? Genuinely compare them to their competition. Google? Heck no. Brave? Nope. Microsoft? Absolutely not. Apple? No. People complain about how much Mozilla spends on advocacy, but then when they actually do the advocacy, they’re happy about it! They’re perpetually stuck between a rock and a hard place because they’re pulled in both directions and thus, Firefox suffers. But, are they actually a broken clock? Really?
I guess to be a little clearer: If you compare Mozilla to their past selves, they lose. If you compare Mozilla to anyone else in that space with the resources to develop a browser, they’re still the best of the bunch by a country mile.
This is literally on the road map for GIMP, right up top. (Status: no just means it hasn’t been started yet and isn’t planned for 3.2, not that it isn’t planned) https://developer.gimp.org/core/roadmap/
I’ve been using Ubuntu for years and I like KDE, so I’m using Neon. Ubuntu is familiar, easy to fix, easy to find out how to fix, and neon doesn’t come with snaps.
