I thought this was common knowledge. I distinctly remember this being taught in a basic high school computing class back in the 90’s.

They’re great for a NAS, where the priority is high capacity and low cost, over high performance and high cost of SSDs for comparable capacity.

That doesn’t work if either one is NaN

The top shows Newton’s formula for calculating gravitational force between two bodies. The bottom shows Coulomb’s law for calculating the force between 2 electrically charged particles. The joke is that the Coulomb just copied the formulas from Newton’s that was published nearly a century earlier.

Why is the image such a ridiculously low resolution? The text is so pixelated. Is it a limitation of images uploaded to Lemmy?

What was even the point of introducing the legacy assertion module? We've known for decades that using == is not a good idea. They should have just killed it while the thing is experimental, instead of letting it get into the stable module.

The extra effort required to explicitly import the strict assertion module, instead of getting it by default, is going to lead to lazy developers inadvertently getting the legacy mode, that shouldn't exist for a new assertion module.

I've had YouTube Premium for years and for the amount of YT I watch, mostly on my AppleTV where ad blockers aren't an option anyway, it's worth it.

I stopped using Twitter years ago, and hopefully the recent changes that prevent non-logged in users seeing the tweets and the stupid API limits, mean far fewer twitter links posted to social media and the site just dies naturally.

As for Reddit, I'll still use old Reddit on desktop, but my mobile use has dropped to negligible levels. I'll only occasionally open Dystopia to check on a small number of subs.

I’m curious how accessible Lemmy is to users who need to use assistive technology, and whether the many 3rd party app developers are making their apps accessible.

Docker for Mac has to run Linux in a virtual machine because macOS doesn’t natively support the containerisation APIs. That’s why it takes more memory and runs a bit slower than it does when running natively on a Linux machine.

Lemmy has gone from having no viable apps a few weeks ago to having several under active development that are getting better every day. It’s actually impressive. I’ve spent so little time on Reddit today.

My only wish is that Apollo comes back as a Lemmy client in the near future.

It’s missing some things like integration for imgur and xkcd, where Apollo would show the images in-app, instead of opening the websites or native imgur app separately.

It’s great so far, but the inverted colours for upvote/downvote are confusing. I see blue and think I downvoted.

I like wefwef, except the name is terrible and hard to type in a phone. So far, the only UI problem I have with it is it’s too easy to accidentally downvote when trying to upvote by swiping right.

Also, I just noticed, the upvote/downvote colours are reversed. It’s going to take time to get used to blue being upvote and red being downvote.

I haven’t heard of Liftoff or Thunder. I’ve got wefwef, Memmy and I’m just now trying Mlem for the first time. I haven’t found a perfect one so far, but as an Apollo refugee, wefwef is nice

Is this going to be for iOS or Android, or both?

Apollo refugee checking in, currently trying out WefWef.app. I’ve also been trying out Memmy over the past couple of weeks. Not sure which one I’ll end up sticking with yet.

My indentation is secretly the actual program written in the whitespace programming language.

I tried Memmy because the Mlem beta is full. But the first and worst thing I noticed about Memmy is that it seems to only be available in Dark Mode, which sucks for people like me that find reading dark mode incredibly uncomfortable.
