"Everyone is using IPv6"

It's barely supported. Most providers here "offer IPv6", but each has a different gotcha to actually using it, if it works at all and they didn't just route you through hardware that doesn't know what it is.

I'm with the right answer here. / and * have same precedence and if you wanted to treat 2(2+2) as a single unit, you should have written it like (2*(2+2)).

Less content, that is spread across multiple instances that can have duplicate communities.

You just can't keep doomscrolling here, the "active" search repeats all the time and the "best of the day" is like two pages.

And then there's specific communities that just... Stayed on Reddit.

And that's how you get your whole party executed.

Personally hate the change to the swipe. I get that on some huge servers people probably use the "reply" feature a lot, but I definitely don't have so much use for it as to give up the nice, coherent and logical UX of "channel/server list is on the left, user list is on the right, just swipe to them".

IMO, swiping should be for navigating UI, not interacting with individual items. Now there's a useless thing on the swipe and I have to reach to the top of the screen if I want to check who's online and in the channel. Annoying.

That and the new DM screen doesn't use swipe right as navigation, it's just a "back" button now. Can't quickly look at the DM list and go back to your conversation by swiping right-left any more. Literal lazy design because this is an easier way to program that interaction.

Don't care super much about the DM button moving, it's more convenient to access but breaks the UI paradigm. Shrug.

Oh, and the "midnight" theme is not new, you could use it for years now in the old versions.

After playing Portal RTX and Quake 2 RTX, my opinion is that what we really need are games that fully embrace RTX as their rendering. Lower poly count, use materials more, lean in onto the cool lighting.

Games like Cyberpunk 2077 use RTX, but it's just painted over so it is very expensive for what it brings to the table. Sure it's more accurate and having reflections is neat, but it costs more than some shadow maps and doesn't beat good artistic design.

But you can make games that much more interesting if your algorithms are on point.

Otherwise it's all "well I don't know why it generated map that's insane". Or "well AI has this weird bug but I don't understand where it's coming from".

I'm beginning to suspect "superfocus" is just what normal people do when they focus.

Lemmy: where's the joke tho?

Very nice though, amicable breakups/divorces are good.

So they're doing the same thing as that time they killed Edge and stretched its skin over chromium?

Ah, Midnight Commander, how have I missed you.

Yup. Getting tired of people saying "just write notes and reminders!"

Okay, my brain immediately deleted the memory of the reminder once it popped up, now what.

Oil and automotive companies literally tore most of public transport out in US way back when.
They would invest into the local tram companies, buy them out, then close and tear out the lines.

It varies with the source, but generally it's supposed to be a few things:

• The blasters used in the movie era are... Basically unstoppable? They're the pinnacle of weapon tech as far as mass arming is concerned.
• The armour is supposed to protect the stormtrooper against most "lower tech" weapons, think slug throwers, shrapnel from explosions, vibro-swords.
• Light sabers OP.
• You're supposed to be using droideka-style personal shields if you want to tank energy shots.

Of course, movies don't think about it too hard and just use them as mooks.

Anything an API returns should just look like 1720533944.963659 .

There's no reason to store dates as anything other than UTC. User-side, sure, timezones are useful. Server doesn't have to know.

Well, cartridges, rollers, and fusers are the important bits that can't easily be manufactured by hand. And that's a big part of the price of the printer.

You can't really make them cheaper than mass-manufacture, and laser printers are already almost bulletproof from my experience.

Man. I recall watching the Computerphile video on monads and the first thing the presenter did was choose Haskell for example language.

Worst video of all of them, just some haskell masturbation. "Oooo, we can do infinite liiiists". Bitch that's called a generator.

I remember seeing one or two stations like this when I was a kid. The hoses lowered down after you paid, so you don't need to be tall to use it.

There's fungi that are eating the pacific trash patch, but the issue is that there's not much energy to be gained from plastics we use. It's slow.

Resolution, generally.

A laser printer operates by using UV light to make fine pigment powder stick to a drum by static electricity. True to it's name, it used to be done via a laser that scanned the drum by reflecting off a rotating mirror - but nowadays it's just as often a line of tiny UV LEDs. The pigment is than baked onto the paper by a small electric oven.

The pulses of the laser and the pitch of those LEDs is generally way finer than what your run of the mill 3D printer is able to achieve reliably. And definitely finer than any nozzle you could put onto a 3D printer.

Theoretically you could DIY the spinning mirror approach, but it would be difficult to source the optical parts, and calibrating it would be a gigantic pain in the ass. Not to mention that it would likely be significantly more expensive than an off-the-shelf laser printer.
Also, guess what happens if you don't have toner cartridge and print drum as one sealed unit. The printing medium is so fine it gets everywhere, ask anyone who ever tried reloading one of those cartridges.

Square Singer explained the difference with InkJet above.

Modern paper printers are deceptively advanced machines. They'd be pretty impressive if not for the greed of the manufacturers. High-precision parts made just right so that you could print out whatever annoying document your employer wants you to actually sign and bring in physically.

A 3D printer is comparatively slow and generally prints in one colour. As I said, you can make a plotter easily by swapping out the print head for a pen, but then you have a single-colour printer that's significantly slower than modern laser printers, that can be upgraded to have multiple colours with a toolchanger but won't produce anything near the resolution of an inkjet (or even a laser printer, tbh).

For reference, this is how a plotter at work looks like. Similar to bed slingers, ain't it.

I feel like theoretically it maybe could be possible to turn an SLA printer into a paper printer, with resin solidifying on a page? But then how would you keep the rest of the page from being smudged?
