Celivalg,

Sure, but sometimes, the errors people commit are idiotic and repeated errors are a sign of non attention.

Yesterday, I was at a restaurant chain, and there were two burguers on the menu (more than that but these two are important)

  • The famous burger
  • The super famous burger

I asked for a famous burger, I heard the lady taking my order muttering ‘super famous’ so I clarified with her, The regular famous, not the super famous, she said “yes, yes.”

I thought this was over when low and behod she arrives with a super famous, wich is 5€ more.

So I told her I did not order a super famous, but a regular famous and to her credit, she didn’t contradict me on that. I asked her to communicate that to the people at the register to make sure I wouldn’t pay for a super but a regular, but offered to still take the order as that would have been thrown out otherwise, but also said that if they wanted to change it to match what I ordered, I would be fine with it too. In the end no food was wasted (except for a couple of fries, the super has two steaks compared to the regular and my regular sized stomach can’t fit that).

When I got to pay, the people at the register weren’t aware of the mistake, but still changed the price to the refular famous when they saw who took my order, and someone (probably a manager from the way she said that) ranted about ‘her again’

Overhaul, the people have been very accomodating of their mistake and I was glad we were able to solve that without my bank account taking a hit or food being wasted.

But

  • I had clarified that I wanted the regular and not the famous
  • she apparently makes repeated mistakes
  • she didn’t communicate her mistake to her superiors

People make mistakes yes and that’s fine, but you can’t excuse all of them away

Celivalg,

Nah, it’s 10/10 , you don’t count from 0 to 99, you do from 0 to 10, so that still 100% in binary

Celivalg,

Honnêtement, leurs prix ont beau être plus cher que leur competition, leur service client me fait toujours acheter chez eux quand je peux

I want to move to Linux but I need to be able to access my apps that are not supported

Hey, I use the Adobe Suite for daily use to build and develop posts and videos for multiple people and can't have my workflow slow down by learning a new application, I've looked into Linux a few times and want to really move over in the future but due to it not having support for Adobe, I'm not sure what to do....

Celivalg,

Windows tends to overwrite the bootloader

Celivalg,

GPU passthrough is not easy, thankfully there are guides online, but I did have to do a bit more digging after an issue I had.

You do need 2 GPUs, on a laptop it’s not an issue as most of them use an intel or amd gpu to render the desktop and only use dedicated graphics for intensive tasks, but on a desktops, you don’t have that option and you’ll need to turn off the graphical portion of linux, making it accessible only through something like ssh

Celivalg,

In 20 years: +2°C is unavoidable, +3°C would require the whole world to reduce the emissions by as much as the covid crisis did… Each year.

Even if the best political minds come to term with that and take actions, I don’t see us stopping. I don’t see us capping at 3, nor at 4. Nor at 6.

let's design the programmer's numpad (lemmy.world)

i’m going to design and build a “programmer’s numpad”, because I’m sick of awkward hand movements for writing brackets with numbers and commas and spaces etc. here’s the first draft. make your modifications here: www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/i’m thinking of adding another column, putting something between the...

Celivalg,

I would remove the numlock and put it out of the way, you don’t need that key when typing and it takes up a spot where something more important could be like &, $, !, ?, #, ~ > < % ^

Swamp cooler, they do work, but raise the humidity, which might cause increased mold growth

What is your machine naming scheme?

I’ve ended up with a number of machines on my network, and a need to name them all in a somewhat logical way. For several years I had them named after the planets, which worked well until the PCs for myself, my girlfriend, servers and Raspberry Pi’s quickly summed up to more than the eight planets. I’ve broadened it...

Celivalg,

Woman names in my electro swing playlist…

I just love the vintage vibes they have

Celivalg,

Yeah, sad thing is we are already signed up for the next 20 years, as in even if we stopped emitting everything tomorrow, we would still have +2°C in 20 years…

And how realistic is stopping everything tomorow?

+3°C… we would need to have a new coronavirus crisis every years, not just a new one, but stack them on top, in terms of emissions. Ofc you can’t have more then one global confinement at a time (doesn’t make sense to double confine someone) so that wouldn’t even work.

We. Are. Fucked.

Celivalg,

Same thing as people arguing about their golf clubs, pointless yes, but distracting…

Most people in the distro wars know it’s pointless and that a tool is a tool, but measuring dicks is as old as humanity and when flipping your dong out wasn’t deemed appropriate anymore, people started arguing about distros

Celivalg,

You can actually bump it up to 256 or 512 without a huge perf drain depending on your setup, distant horizon doesn’t use the normal game renderer… You do give up shaders for it…

Celivalg,

Linux is free, is thought to be more secure than alternatives when properly configured, and isn’t a scam?

I’m not saying Brave is good, just that it’s not because something is free that it’s bad

Celivalg,

Yeah these people are the worst smh…

Don’t look at my instance’s name

Celivalg,

Regardless of if it’s on the visual spectrum or not, it’s all called light as long as it’s electromagnetic radiations

Radio waves are light, gamma rays are light, gravitational waves are not, sound waves are not

Celivalg,

I think the problem is that they are trying to teach math to generalists where in front of them are students formed to understand programmatical problems.

Where the problems be restructured to a programatical problem, then it would work far far better.

Mathematical exercises aim to solve 1 problem with 1 given set of parameters, programatical exercises aim to solve 1 problem with ANY given sets of parameters.

And that’s what made me loose interest in math during my CS years.

Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win

From the article, quoting Judge Corley:

... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

Celivalg,

Piracy against big corporations? Sure, but indie devs? That’s gonna hurt them far more and they usually haven’t done anything to uustify it

Celivalg,

Aah too bad, 01:00 UTC would be 03:00 for me, and I plan on sleeping tonight

Celivalg,

I usually put on some PBS Space Time, not quite podcast, but I often don’t look at the visuals when trying to sleep. The videos are short (about 15min) , but provided it’s between 23:30 and 00:30, it usually takes only about 5 minutes before I fall asleep.

Used to do audiobooks, but that would fail if I was too invested in the book…

Celivalg,

Honestly, I like the balls they have, hope this works even if I have little hope

Celivalg,

Still use it at least in CS for reports and specifications of a project

Celivalg,

I personally love the screen ratio

Celivalg,

2 yo article about chicken lab-meat in Singapore https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/dec/02/no-kill-lab-grown-meat-to-go-on-sale-for-first-time

They mention that their production line uses fetal bovine serum (at the time) but that their next one wouldn't, but it just wasn't complete for the launch.

Apparently they would use a plant based alternative, but I haven't been able to find an article (not behind a paywall) on that.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a solved problem, imo they wouldn't be able to use fetal bovine serum in large quantities anyway due to it's price.

Celivalg,

My headphones might be louder then, probably, well that thing is almost ingrained now (I frequently pass by an area with a center for blind people, so there are quoite a few around, not every day, but maybe every 2 or 3) so I'll probably continue doing it
