(Another) HotFuzz appreciation YouTube "Video-Essay" (www.youtube.com)
I feel like Hot Fuzz and Edgar Wright appreciation in youtube cinema critic or analysis videos are basically a meme by now (eg Every Frame a Painting did one 10 years ago … shit I’m getting old) …...
Are the new local-only communities also private by default?
I’m sure this will get clarified in the release notes for 19.4, and I’m probably annoyingly jumping the gun … I’m just curious....

Seeing more “cake days” pop up lately, it seems we’re approaching (or in) the 1 yr anniversary of the Reddit migration....
What Rust calls "reference" is a much more specific thing, that is not so general-purpose. (users.rust-lang.org)
A nice comment in a forum thread (extracted below, but also see the shorter more facetious version below that) about references and their lifetimes in structs. Here is a link to the full thread over on users.rust-lang.org...
Lemmy.ml is **much** snappier after the recent upgrade
This is just to followup from my prior post on latencies increasing with increasing uptime (see here)....

Dunno about this....
Would you say Apple is in a slump?
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...
Star Wars as a silent film or a B&W Samurai Film (www.youtube.com)
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....
How well can an employer be certain of a remote employee's geographical location?
FWIW, this isn’t to do with me personally at all, I’m not looking to do anything dodgy here, but this came up as a theoretical question about remote work and geographical security, and I realised I didn’t know enough about this (as an infosec noob)...

The goal is to lift humanity
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....
