3.4 ounces of sulfuric acid, 3.4 ounces of nitric acid, 3.4 ounces of glycerine… Bam blyat!

I suspect those may depend on choosing a particular response to some of the previous questions

Thinkpad recs?

I like used Thinkpads. I bought a T430s off eBay and used it for several years. Recently I got a T570 from work. It had a screen issue, so I bought a new screen. That didn’t fix it so I bought a new mobo, but it has a loose drive connector so won’t boot. Just now I killed it for good by putting an nvme in a sata slot lol....

CPUs are also somewhat choked. I had to use throttled to make mine run above 2.4 GHz under load. (You need HWP_MODE and possibly Disable_BDPROCHOT, if anyone’s interested).

But other than that, waaaay better compared to …70 laptops, and some models seem to beat maxed out t440p-s. Also quicksync massively speeds up video decoding/encoding, so I’m overall happy with mine so far.

Were zx spectrum +2 keyboards disgusting to type on?

Out of curiosity, I’ve been watching a few restorations of those spectrums, and I’ve noticed the keyboards having a rather peculiar construction, judging by today’s standards. They have 2 springs, the small one, as far as I understand, presses the membrane layers together, and the larger one returns the key into neutral...

fl42v OP ,

Phew, count me relieved. The keyboard on that clone was pretty linear as far as I can remember with no variation in force applied whatsoever

It’s good and everything (although it was a bit rough around the edges here and there), but is a no-go for me personally, unless they’ve changed their license. When I last checked it wad not open source, but merely source available since the license basically said you’re not allowed to modify the source code period. AGPL would’ve been a far better choice

fl42v ,

Although, it’s possible to bloat it unknowingly: networkmanager, for example, depends on a few VPNs noone would ever need, and one of them depends on webkitgtk, so you actually have to mkForce modules to include only the necessary stuff. Not like that’s a huge issue, but I wasn’t amused when I saw “building webkitgtk” while cross-compiling 😆

Calling them features doesn’t substitute a kill.

Meanwhile the photographer: casually hangs on the second thingy but with only one hand (the other one is occupied by the camera)

Yeah, that’s why I write shit on the internet :D

Python is great, but stuff like this just drives me up the wall (lemmy.world)

Explanation: Python is a programming language. Numpy is a library for python that makes it possible to run large computations much faster than in native python. In order to make that possible, it needs to keep its own set of data types that are different from python’s native datatypes, which means you now have two different...

fl42v ,

Well, C has implicit casts, and it’s not that weird (although results in some interesting bugs in certain circumstances). Python is also funny from time to time, albeit due to different reasons (e.g. -5**2 is apparently -25 because of the order of operations)

fl42v ,

And how’s that different from js’s “1” + 2? One can always convert a number to string, and only sometimes – a string to a number, so it’s pretty logical to go with the former.

fl42v ,

Well, the link doesn’t load for me, so if that’s smth related to python and not a justification of the behavior from math’s pov, I know that’s expected. Hence,

because of the order of operations

But just as well is “1” + 2.

fl42v ,

4.2 megs on one line? Vim probably can handle it fine, although syntax won’t be highlighted past a certain point

fl42v ,

Yeah, very well may be. LSPs always slow down opening big files, so I usually inspect those with an empty/different config

fl42v ,

Bastards. You should create an issue or something

fl42v ,

How about cmake?

fl42v ,

Idk how this thingy on the screenshot works 🤷

fl42v ,

Hmm, seems like it’d be interesting to automate :D

fl42v ,

That’s an impressive commit graph, tho

I kinda suspect ты из Калининграда

I run applications, and it still rarely exceeds 6 gigs. Damn, my ram is mostly disk cache at this point

fl42v ,

Same. Have 32 just in case I need a windows VM or something.

Unlocking the bootloader of some Qualcomm devices when the display is broken, PoC (github.com)

Just thought I’d share. Probably nothing new or fancy, but may help some of you find a way to repurpose devices that aren’t worth repairing into home servers or something: e.g. op5 I’ve used has better CPU compared to raspberry pi 4, can run linux (postmarketos, albeit with some caveats), and costs less if bought with...

You mean tf is up with bears? There was recently some kind of a social media survey asking women whether they’d prefer to stumble upon a bear or a man while walking in the forest. Bears won.

Kinda weird since I don’t remember them specifying the place, the type of said bear, the existence of cubs in the bush nearby or the season, so the possibility of getting attacked varies from “oh, a cute panda; guess I’ll just pass by” to being eaten alive by a bear that woke up from hibernation in the middle of the winter, but I digress

“Misipi’s” – deduplicate the right way

fl42v ,

Allrighty, I’ll use other request types, like PUT, or just base64 encode and GET it :D

fl42v ,

I’ll host my own service, with blackjack and virtual hookers

fl42v ,

That’s not music. It’s the sound RAM banks make when they pop.

fl42v ,

If you’re on arch/nixos, that’s fine since stuff you may need is most likely in the repos already. If you’re on Debian/Ubuntu derivatives, good luck with 100500 ppa-s

fl42v ,

Oops, my bad

fl42v ,

I mean, they said they don’t like flatpak explicitly, and appimage is kinda the same thing but bulkier, standalone nix is similar as well except the lack of sandboxing stuff, and spinning another distro in a container seems overkill-ish. Idk, honestly, mb they prefer the windows way of downloading random installers from the web or that clusterslackery of placing stuff in /opt by hand

Bypassing parental control is a great learning opportunity, tho :D
