  • IEEE 754

  • IEE 754 is my favourite IEEE standard. 754 gang

  • So I had this idea for a long time; tell me what you think. What if we build a web crawler to build a database of YouTube URLs? There's just so much content out there that is only a couple of years old that I feel like nobody is shown anymore. Build a nice little web UI that people can utilize with literally iframes. Basically adjust YouTubes algo to show people what they really want. Maybe get a LLM to parse the titles to determine what kind of video it is, and use it to group related videos together

  • I used to have a very large air filter standing in the corner of my room. It wouldn't eliminate the need to vacuum, but it would reduce the dust in the air and make it less noticeable. I got rid of it because the filter cartridges were sorta discontinued/really expensive

  • Reddit UI.

    eeeeeeeeeeww...

  • I'll give you 50c on the dollar!

  • In the next 7 days I will get:

    I got this.

  • Good for them. Cyberpunk was an excellent game, and the Phantom Liberty expansion was dope. The multiple different endings made the game much more replayable. Some of the endings are some of the saddest in videogames lately.

  • How good is Lemmy dealing with censorship and why does the sign-up process on lemmy.ml involve having to copy a sentence from "The Principles of Communism"?

  • Just go for it bro /s

  • Catch

  • What a weird question...

  • Fair points

  • What do you mean in your second sentence?

  • No, bombs and the defence industry was not was I was on about. I see your point. Yes there's been some downturn recently, but the tech industry has always been cyclical. It's difficult to get hired today, and there's certainly favoritism towards senior employees.

    My point was simply about economics; supply and demand. In my university, about half of all degrees issued are in the arts. If employers want someone with that kind of training, then they have all of the selection in the world. Compare this to a tech company. If a tech company wants to expand their business and they need to implement a technology to do that, depending on what technology it is, there might be like, 1k.. maybe 100k, maybe 1M people on the planet that have that specialty? Employers are going to pay a lot more for a person with that kind of training.

  • Supply and demand. There's less people in STEM so they get paid more.

  • I straight up never got a nice answer from StackOverflow on this. Say you have 5 classes, each requiring access to the data members/functions of the others. What's a nice way to solve this problem? I've thought of only two ~nice~ shit methods:

    • Pass pointers/shared-pointers etc to each class, but not through the constructor but a setter function
    • Pass lambdas or std::function everywhere. Yuck! Still doesn't put each object in a valid state in the constructor.
  • blasphemy!

     
        
    void main(int argc, char ** argv, char ** envp)
    
      
  • I worked for a competitor, (not laid off, just quit to take a break). AMD seems to pay a bit better and the office is closer to home. They have been stealing coworkers over the years. I get the impression that the company culture is a bit more about taking risks. My old employer was very conservative, and even though I was working in the least conservative team, I still felt like the culture was too slow.

    Why? Is it a bad place to work? Spill the beans lol
