RE: It's tools all the way down!
@Bulb offtopic, but this is exactly my problem with commandline tools - without proper documentation they are useless.
GUI tools are self-documenting by default, at least to some minimal (usually pretty high) degree.

RE: Caching is hard: docker edition
@Kamil-Podlesak what utterly fascinates me is that i don't have even the slightest most surface-level idea how docker actually does its magic, but even i am aware that a better identifiers, such as checksums, or even filenames, exist.

RE: YouTube's content ID system. AGAIN.
@blakeyrat said in YouTube's content ID system. AGAIN.:
Get pissed off, toss everything off YT, move to another video hosting service that doesn't suck shit (if one exists)

RE: YouTube's content ID system. AGAIN.
@blakeyrat try sending the mail again, except start it by full (textual) quotation of the content id notification.
and add some more "contentId" into the email text.
and a few "dmca", just for good measure.and two or three more "fuck you, you fucking fucks", just to make us at tdwtf happy.
good luck

RE: China's Ghost Cities
@boomzilla ummmmm...
old news? this became public knowledge at least 5 years ago?oh and they're doing it because the only thing chinese citizens are allowed to "invest" in is real estate, not sure if the video explains it, couldn't be bothered to watch.
usa creates investment space by companies going public on stock market, china creates investment space by building shitty useless real estate which has the singular purpose of being juggled the same way as stock options.

RE: WTF (What-the-Fun) Project: Dust Sucker
also, we forgot a critical function:
dust sucker has a GPS locator, and based on it, it detects the local laws about disturbing night peace and refuses to suck dust during the night hours. it will still go through its boot and update process, of course, but the moment you try to actually turn the sucking on, it will display:
"Your neighbors wouldn't be happy about that :("
That's all. To learn what the heck is actually going on, you'll have to look the message up on our support forums, where it will be explained.
Of course, it doesn't care, and has no way to find out whether you actually have neighbors. It just always assumes you do.

The most idiotic idea about types ever
Suppose you're a galaxy-spanning civilization ran on some kind of subspace internet.
You have risen from what we are now to hundreds of starsystems.And you need a crapload of IDs for all the devices in the whole universe to UID to send messages to.
You can keep increasing the word width of processors/default bit width of integer or whatever, or you can keep increasing the maximum-id-string-length constriant, and piling on forward compatibility bandage on top of the backwards-compatibility ball of mess, or...
how would you future-proof this requirement, if you could build it from zero with no compatibility regards, and deploy it instantly to everyone?
my, the most idiotic idea about types ever, which sparked this question is:
every literal value has built-in bit resolution:
10 - boolean false. first bit: "there's one bit of info". second bit: "this is the one bit of info".
11 - bool true
1100 - zero of 2bit variable
1111 - 3 of 4bit var.This doubles every datatype size, yes, but... kinda makes every datatype variable size/resolution by default?
pointer jumps to int, sees 32 1s in, row, naturally concludes int has now 32 bits of resolution.
if it jumps to float, it knows it's 32bit float.
jump to float, read 64 1s, know 64bits of data follow - c# double.
now your number types are infinitely extendable, regardless of how many IoT orc dildos your civilization absolutely needs to plug in to the interstellar information highway.
comments? shot downs? i'm stoned so aware this is stupid, don't worry.
better ideas? -
RE: macOS 12 Localized Keyboard Shortcuts piss me off

RE: Backups? Whatever for?
who cares anyway? some time ago someone (i think chicago?) wiped their whole criminal db on purpose to stop being racist, since most of offenders in it were non-white.

RE: YouTube has decided to break things because . . . raisins

i expect second stage in a year or so to be deleting those private vids from channels that don't care.

@El_Heffe in my experience, a good wank can improve mood at least for a while.
In my experience, this "improvement" lasts about six seconds followed by hours of worse depression.
you need to hug your bodypillow during those, the comedown is triggered by your body's lack of touch at the front which makes it realize you're alone.
PSA: i don't have experience with actual clinical depression (probably, never got a proper diagnosis) ; my responses are partly shittalk and partly what works for me (probably not a clinically depressed person, as i said, also maybe still just me personally, even amongst non-depressed people)

RE: Opera makes a gaming browser
@Atazhaia
yeah, so:"like a completely uncecessary splash screen"
doesn't matter,"Enforced dark mode."
not a bad idea, actually,"Background music while browsing"
didn't know about this,"It also has something that looks like a shop and/or game browser"
didn't know about this and doesn't matter,"Why?"
Because "bandwidth and RAM usage limiters", which is the one and only reason which made me switch to using it as my main browser about a year ago immediately as I learned that it exists, and I will never switch back unless they fuck up this single best feature in the world.
The rest of you can happily keep living in a world where it's normal for your browser to eat 60% or your 4GHz quad-core CPU as well as 60% of your 16Gb RAM.
