Yeah I think a local Git server would be good, will try our forgejo since people seem to like it— I’ve been using git for a lot of projects but not so much for large files and HW stuff since when using GitHub there are size limitations. Does seem like it would be freeing to be able to delete whatever I want from my workstation without worrying about losing stuff

Def going to check this out— I think it will solve my biggest problem with GitHub which is just the number of large files I have to deal with— overthought comments are the best comments- thanks!

Yeah, I really should start using Git for everything, but I’ve been working with a lot of large datasets recently (mostly EEG data). A big part of improving accuracy comes from cleaning the data, which is huge and takes a while to process. I could set up a local Git server to keep track of everything or just save the base data files and regenerate as needed, but on my current setup, that process can take anywhere from 2-6 hours depending on the task. So for now, I’ve just been managing everything locally to save time.

What is hexbear and .ml?

But Linux is open source? So if hypothetically so distro adopted spying al la windows couldn’t people just change distros? tbh I also think the question is slightly confusing as I don’t understand why OP thinks Mac OS is not standardized but I digress.

Why mock them? Our quotidian musings are seldom unique. When an individual arrives at a realization on their own, should we not celebrate it? Is it not our collective duty to foster and encourage critical thinking whenever the opportunity arises?

Hmm I can’t decide if this is a joke or if I’m just very privileged in the internet department

I remember back in 2013 I picked up the full expansion set at a thrift store for $4 it was the best summer of middle school by far— got the werewolf mod working and went around finding out who was essential to the plot by killing them and then reverting the saves— good times

Can it be running some unix derivative?

Thanks for the tip! https://github.com/jcuberdruid/DeepBlue

I’ll add more to the repo but here it is for now :)

Not just yet but it’s in the works!

Thanks! I made a submarine game called DeepBlue where you explore the ocean floor generated by ocean depth map data:

I do really like the error system in rust for its descriptions. I guess the difficulty for me, which maybe will go away after writing more rust, is that my intuition for what is efficient and what isn’t totally breaks down.

I find myself passing copies of values around and things like that, it might be that the compiler just takes care of that, or that I just don’t know how to do it well but that’s often the point of friction for me.

Totally agree on the refactor though, most of the time it doesn’t even take that much time since you know the skeleton of what you want at that point!

Maybe it’s just because I haven’t had to deal with the scenario yet but does compile time really matter? I mean for small programs it seems it’s almost instant on modern machines and for large programs I would assume, if it exists, that you would be using the equivalent of make so you would only be recompiling the small changes made.

Also Swift!

While I agree wholeheartedly with the idea that we need to emphasize quality over quantity, so long as software pays well there will be people who don’t care. In my university I’ve met a fair few people that complain about having to learn about compilers, assembly, and whatnot because “I’ll never need to know that in my actual job”. While to some extent in the United States you can blame the fact that classes just cost a ton, I think it’s a sad reality that, barring some key change in the way our whole education and economic systems work, there will be unimaginative apathetic people that will ruin things for the rest. Plus people are fallible or something I dunno. But yeah void pointers are my jam because I don’t have to wait precious clock cycles making new ones jk.

The closest I can come to agreeing with you is community service as a punishment or as a means to reduce one’s sentence. However, especially given what constitutes a crime is some of the bad states, and the evidence of coercion for working these jobs, it seems as those there is a perverse incentive to keep people working for little pay. At the very least, this work, if not something you have to volunteer for, should be assigned as part of the punishment from the court, deducting it against the other punishments levied against them: being in prison for xyz amount of time, or paying xyz fine, but this seems like it would need to be well regulated to avoid abuse.

I wonder if to some extent it’s because of the title inflation in the United States; an effort to give employees a sense of value without actually paying them more
