@nixCraft Idk. Suppose you didn't affort a good meal when your bank balance was $0. Now that you're making $100 a day, you decided to invest in your better meal and the balance keeps going down to $0 again. Would you call it just negating the bank account?

Why does Python get so much hate? It is literally like a Basic programming language. Easy to learn and guaranteed to get a job because of massive demand.

A general PSA is that if you don't like criticism, you shouldn't claim to be doing science or engaging with scientists. It's who we are and it's what we do.

The literal entire point of doing science is that we can get better together by scrutinizing evidence together. No one, absolutely no one, gets to be an authority simply by virtue of who they ARE versus the data they are attempting to get you to believe. It is, in the end, what we have.

freevolt24,
@freevolt24@mastodon.social avatar

@grimalkina most probably a different issue to what she's talking about, but the current scientific academic fields are known to be infested with BS criticisms. We can all just ignore them, of course, but things get problematic when these have influential power, notably in peer-review processes, for example. Personally that's why "unlimited" criticisms are not necessarily good for science. Or maybe it's the matter of confining the power of such bad criticisms.

Modern work:

you get a message in Slack with a link to the Confluence doc to prep for the meeting on Zoom, where you take notes in Notion, and track project progress on Monday and then update the Trello and you get to the end of the week and instead of doing fucking anything you've just moved bits of information around in 17 different databases and each one costs $15 a month per user...

@nixCraft My grandmothers all passed away before I got to have a real job, unfortunately, but it seems like NOBODY understands what I do outside where I belong, including my parents, my siblings, my friends, my dates, my favorite teachers, and so on. In fact, they don't bother to learn it so I don't bother to explain it either.

Poll: According to you, will Apple Vision Pro be a successful or failed product?

freevolt24,
@freevolt24@mastodon.social avatar

@nixCraft Idk whether or not it'll fly, but I can see a minor(?) marketing fail because when I searched for it on Google, 99% of the images were of the people wearing it, not what they see. From that, it looks like a VR headset, which many people don't find too appealing (to buy one, let alone thinking it as a must-have item).

@nixCraft I remember when I worked with my country's government facility, they requested me the result of our project on a ✨️DVD disc✨️. We didn't have any DVD burner at that time so we needed to buy one just for that one time request. I think it was a little less historically amusing but a little more annoying than using a floppy disc.

@arstechnica I wonder of all false information issues, why they decided to take action to this issue. Maybe because a huge amount of compensation money was expected? You might as well call their policy "money speech absolutinist."

Honest question: Let us say Apple is not charging anything for 3rd party app stores for the EU. Do you think app makers will charge less for apps in the EU? Do you think Spotify will pay extra to artists for all streaming done in the EU region? Discuss.

@nixCraft No way. It's free real estate. Maybe some portion can go to creators "as a favor" but no chance that 100% will go to them.

Who taught you how to write program?

freevolt24, (edited )
@freevolt24@mastodon.social avatar

@nixCraft various people including myself. I fiddled with Visual Basic with a grand goal of ✨️making a rhythm game✨️ but failed several times (of course...). Then I got to attend some coding classes, then hiatus, then I enrolled in a "real" programming class during my freshman year with OCaml. Interesting choice of the introductory language, in hindsight, but reportedly my then professor insisted on using that because he was a PL person. Then I started developing a "real" game with C#.
