Klappt mal die Bücher zu, heute wird ferngesehen. Denn unser erster Animationsfilm „Das Grundgesetz der Tiere“ ist JETZT im ZDI verfügbar! Du hast keinen Internet-Zugang? Kein Problem: Der Film läuft um 23 Uhr im ZDF. https://kurz.zdf.de/Mb6/
@zdfmagazin ich finde es super, dass ihr hier Bilder mit Untertitel macht. Ich selber brauche sie zwar nicht, es gibt aber genug Leute, die das brauchen. Weiter so!
@sbseltzer I don't think I ever had one of those weird ones then. Most nasty ones were weird compiler errors, but not linker errors, as far as I can remember
@sbseltzer just recently I had a very weird one. It was a BlueprintCallable function with some parameter (I don't remember the type, probably something strange like a delegate), and the generated function had a const parameter instead. Obviously, that didn't compile until I changed my initial declaration.
I wonder if someone ever analyzed the "mobile cost" (bandwidth, battery usage, ...) of messengers like #WhatsApp/ #Signal/ #Telegram, chat systems like #IRC, and maybe even more "exotic" chat systems like #mail, @delta -chat, #fedi?
@zash@polezaivsani@delta wow, that's basically exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing (and thanks @autkin for doing that research). I'd certainly like to see deltachat in there, too, just because it's "weird" in its own way
new theory: climate change is driven by Hollywood to normalize low visibility due to wildfire smoke, so they can turn down the render distance on CGI, making movies cheaper to produce
Hamburg, 1959: Im Außenbereich eines Cafés sitzt eine Familie. Das Wetter ist offenkundig nebelig. Auf dem Tisch stehen zwei Tassen, vermutlich mit Kaffee. Alle Personen tragen einen Schutzanzug inkl. Atemschutzmaske.
So wurde die Bevölkerung über Selbstschutzmaßnahmen im Falle eine Atomangriffs aufgeklärt. Solche absurden Beispiele kamen in der Bevölkerung nicht gut an.
Die ganze Geschichte hinter dem Foto erzählt die NDR Serie "Was war da los?"
@strandbeutel@NDR ich finds genial. Wenn man das foto ohne entsprechenden kontext sieht, könnte man meinen, menschen haben wirklich so gelebt. Im schutzanzug rasen mähen, ball spielen, schwimmen gehen, ... spannend
@regehr@againsthimself I believe, regarding pointers, you should get to a point where pointers "aren't hard", because they aren't hard to understand. At some level of complexity, they're hard to work with, but it feels like many people have issues understanding the very basics of pointers.
@SnoopJ@regehr I believe that you have to teach C in a context. For example, you will need to teach something about unix and/or operating systems to teach C, or at least some of the philosophical aspects. To teach unix or operating systems you have to teach some C. Though it's a question about what you want to focus on.
I also believe that students should gain some understanding of the hardware and how computers work on a fundamental level, but that's another topic
I wonder if there is data somewhere about the number of dead links. I would like to have data supporting my hunch that they represent a growing fraction of all the links out there. Sure feels that way, although I suspect with most web sites being dynamic, it's unquantifiable.
Data is not forever. May Shannon bless the the Internet Archive.
@robpike I'd also see that a removed resource results in 0-n dead links, while a removed link does not result in a dead resource (only a resource that's harder to find).
Also, people tend to think more in resources, not so much in links. I guess people will remove resources quite easily, but they won't hunt for all links to remove them, because that's a lot of work.
Some zealots at work are spreading the word about the "energy efficiency of programming languages"..
Does anyone know of a serious blog-post that debunks those zealots?
@sbseltzer Just yesterday I found another weirdness in #Unreal#Unreal5. The controller SetMoveInputIgnored(bool) is not a setter, but a stack, kinda. For example, you can call it with "true" two times, then with "false" a single time, but move input will still be ignored. Quite neat, but you have to know that and the name is misleading
@sbseltzer I guess it's for legacy reasons. Also "stack" is kinda a big word for that, it's just an integer that's incremented or decremented based on the supplied boolean value.
