I wish there was something like that for vim "push the key you want to move up with! now push the key you want to use to vertically select! now push the key you want to use to switch to a new tab!" that kind of thing. except... more ordered, of course, and with the option to say "idgaf use the default or whatever" and a handy dandy cheat-sheet that was autogenerated with ascii art of a typical keyboard that pointed out what each key did - jeeeezzzzz the things we could make if software developers had free time during the day... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3555 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── @user-1553 just to note this type of link is not the only way they could implement tracking. In fact it's kind of the worst way, because it's so obvious. a more insidious way that we need to be aware of would be to generate a unique URL for every person that visits a link. LIke, for me it might be "youtu.be/abcdefg" but for you it'd be "youtu.be/hijklmnop" and there'd be very little way for us to notice. be aware of this if they try it. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3556 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── an OR gate is just a backwards IF check ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3557 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── did you know that IF checks can be represented using arithmetic? It's true! ... as long as your input value A is a 0 or 1, of course. If A, then B. Otherwise, C.A B + (1 - A) C which means that an OR check could perhaps be something similar toA / B - (1 + A) / C boom, solved N=NP, gimme a million dollars lmao she did not, in fact, get a million dollars. She's got the spirit but boy does she miss the mark. ... repeatedly, and consistently. Something something "girl who cried wolf" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3558 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── @user-1550 hell yeah it does here's a gift from 2008 that you might like from platinlord, may he RIP in pepperoni, who gave me the power of magic. http://ritz-menardi.neocities.org/music/platinlord.zip http://ritz-menardi.neocities.org/music/platinlord.z01 http://ritz-menardi.neocities.org/music/platinlord.z02 http://ritz-menardi.neocities.org/music/platinlord.z03 (the zip archive is in 4 parts because Neocities doesn't let you upload files above 100mb) (just download them all into the same directory and unzip the .zip one and it'll figure itself out) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3559 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── @user-1209 like... var = x?? that doesn't make sense. Or like, 5 = var x? that feels wrong in programming = is assignment, not equality, which tripped me up for a bit. But if you read it left to right it's like X equals 5. Got it, now I know that X is the same as 5. Right? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3560 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── @user-1209 I mean, if you consider the past as despotic in nature, then it makes a bit more sense that we'd lean left as time progressed. All things are defined in waves, after all, at least until they reach escape velocity. the goat is talking about math, ritz oh yes of course. the issue is that if you're coming from a math background you start with the calculation and store it in a variable as an afterthought. but programming is more algorithmic than computational, meaning things only reduce at runtime (hidden from the user of course by the compiler) an algorithmic perspective is "here's a box. Put this value in the box. Use the box later." while a calculating perspective is "here's some complicated, difficult equation. Let's wrap it up with a single name so that we can easily use it later." ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ |
