Just a general observation I’ve made in my time on lemmy.ml, which I figure is attributable to lemmy the software, that may or may not be useful....

We’ve got two parallel streams going here. One is up to chapter 10 on Traits and the other on chapter 5 on Structs & Enums....

It recently struck me recently that a number of users mostly scroll the All feed. This came up in a conversation where people were discussing how their main usage of lemmy was to scroll All and then rely entirely on blocking to refine their feed....

Dunno about this....

With the VisionPro hype already dead (maybe forever?), bad or tasteless iPad ads, purposeless updates to iPad, Apple dropping their car project, and reaching out to OpenAI or Google for AI services … it certainly feels like it to me. They’ve at least run into their limitations recently however much they want to find the...

The linked video (cinemastix) runs through the ideas (which others had come up with) and how they’re actually applicable to Star Wars because Lucas said they were actually more like silent films, based more on their music and visuals than dialogue....

Genuinely confused as to why my post got removed....

By “augmenting human intellect” we mean increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, to gain comprehension to suit his particular needs, and to derive solutions to problems....

A little thread I wrote on masto after watching this talk by Bret Victor and reflecting on their stated ideals for how computing ought to be designed.

Just place to keep links to comments from this community that go “above and beyond” in helping someone out and really explaining or teaching....

I’m personally not watching it (you could call me a bit of a disco “hater” and s4 really kinda bummed me out) … but thought I’d see how people are enjoying it and think about getting a paramount subscription....

A minor but interesting and illuminating point came up in a conversation that I thought was worth sharing, for those learning rust, in a separate post. I’m mostly just copy-and-pasting here....

I can’t help but suspect it doesn’t offer much and you may as well just use match statements for whenever you want pattern matching, however many times it might be slightly more verbose than what you could do with if let....
