I consider aetheism to be more an absence of belief in gods.
Its not that i believe there arent gods. Its that i have no belief in gods.
The former being anti-god/anti-religion. And the later being anti-belief.
Maybe like "not accidentally cutting yourself" and "not having a knife". Both lead to "not accidentally cutting yourself", but 1 involves a knife.

That one is structural

Except they did actually exist and did actually work.

Well, for analog CRTs

It's a souper joke

Yeh, it's just that the UK has all sorts of different types of schools ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/37696598 ).
I don't really know/remember if the US has a bunch of different types of schools

I'm more aware of the fucked up and abusive manosphere.
Is "tradwife" actually a thing?
I mean, if literally EVERYONE was a tradwife, would it be a bad thing?

I think if everyone was in the manosphere we would be fucked.

Yeh, this is common.
I've heard of PPI (Producer Pleaser Indicator) which is a mixing desk channel not routed anywhere but can be fiddled with to meet client demands.
And there is the DFA (Does Fuck All). Similar concept

They will be using data center compute to generate the traffic, but proxy it through residential proxies and other compromised devices that form a botnet.
Central generation with remote access for the trolls, and distributed outbound traffic.

You've never experienced an AWS US East outage, huh?

Or perhaps confirmed success. And "trying" means "we saw signs of it, but haven't confirmed its impact or if our mitigations worked" (or "don't want to confirm")

First of all, I like the alliteration of examples I always struggle with things like that, and alliteration is an obvious (now, to me) bridge for these.

explore ideas too large to fit in our brains

Another excellent explanation of programming.
And it really does describe the programming of tasks, from punch card weaving machines, to punch card data entry, to direct data entry, to punch card processing, direct processing, and eventually the whole Operating System, Assembly, and Higher Level Languages... And all of the steps between that have since developed.
You can become an expert in memory management, and that idea fits into your brain. And you build the APIs that mean memory management doesn't have to fit into other people's brains. So they can work on instruction optimisation, or storage optimisation.

Standing on the shoulders of giants.
There is so much that can be solved with programming these days, but actual people have so much more... Peoplesness, humanity, realness... That some things aren't worth programming yet... That problem hasn't been solved yet

 

(not sure where to post this...)

I had an idea there might be a TUI lib for typescript. A duckduckgo search came up with an article that described exactly what I wanted!
So of course I immediately searched for this fabled tui lib. A quick search didn't reveal anything, and npm can't seem to find it either! https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=Tui
Navigating directly to the npm package page reveals a 10 year old got repo with no actual code... (https://github.com/basarat/tui)

What the scuff is this world coming to?!
This seems to absolutely align with my experience of using LLMs

(Also accepting suggestions for typescript TUI libs that actually exist!)

 

I've been here a while, and I appreciate the community and the defed/hiding list.
I also know programming.dev contributes to upstream Lemmy repos.

I saw another post about another instances funding.
Which reminded me....

Is programming.dev on track for funding?
Need some more donations?
Is there a runway?
