Do You Like Working Under Pressure by telepresence in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

there was a similar question/joke related to Logic (the rapper): Can you preform Under Pressure? No, but i'm pretty good at Gang Related.

Had to dig under my foundation. What should I put in the whole when they fill it in? by telepresence in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

fill it with sunflower seeds and glue, like those chinese brainrot videos

What is your directory structure like for programming? by telepresence in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] telepresence@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 days ago

i use coding/languagename/project, where most if not all projects are git repos. so, coding/python/shira, coding/java/datetime examples i have some wildcards for the languages, most of my serverside js stuff lives in coding/node-deno and most of my fullstack webdev stuff lives in coding/webdev

i used to have the coding directory on a hdd, but moving it to an ssd helped a lot when installing things made with node, among other things.

Discontinuing syncthing-android by telepresence in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

the fork version works fine. if that dies, i'm hopeful some new fork will emerge. syncthing is well known and used by many, so i think as long as the original software is alive, there'll be a way to use it on your phone. heck, there's ways to run syncthing on a pocketbook e-reader, lol

new-ish RSINOA layout (discuss.tchncs.de)

submitted 1 month ago by telepresence@discuss.tchncs.de to c/thumbkey@lemmy.ml

0 comments fedilink

i saw recently that there is a first algorithmically optimized layout added, RSINOA. i'm wondering:

is it actually good?
is anyone using it?
how much better is it than normal thumb-key english (if it is)?
is it worth learning it if i already know the thumb-key layout without looking at the keyboard?
is it in it's final state? or are big changes to the letter placement expected and i should wait before learning it?

thanks!

type-safe GroupBy (key) function i wrote (discuss.tchncs.de)

i made a type-safe GroupBy function.

/**
 * Groups array of objects by a given key
 * @param arr array of objects to group
 * @param key must be present on every object, and it's values must be string|number
 * @author telepresence
 * @license CC-BY-4.0
 */
function groupBy(arr: T[], key: keyof T, defaultAcc: Record = {}) {
    return arr.reduce((acc, val, i) => {
        const compValue = val[key];
        if (typeof compValue !== 'string' &amp;&amp; typeof compValue !== 'number') {
            throw new Error(`key ${key.toString()} has values other than string/number. can only group by string/number values`);
        }
        if (!acc[compValue]) acc[compValue] = []
        acc[compValue].push(val);
        return acc;
    }, defaultAcc);
}

like lodash's groupBy, but by key and not function
- group an array of objects which all have a key in common into an object with keys matching all the different possible values of your common key
type-safe, no unknown's no any's
does not copy arrays ([...array]), uses push
supports selecting by keys, where the key values are string / number (although you can easily add symbol support)
shared for free under the CC BY 4.0 license - only attribution is requred (link to this post is fine)
custom default accumulator support, if you already know the groups beforehand and would rather have an empty array than undefined.

example:

const data = [{
  "name": "jim",
  "color": "blue",
  "age": "22"
}, {
  "name": "Sam",
  "color": "blue",
  "age": "33"
}, {
  "name": "eddie",
  "color": "green",
  "age": "77"
}];

groupBy(data, 'color')

would result into:

{
  "blue": [
    {
      "name": "jim",
      "color": "blue",
      "age": "22"
    },
    {
      "name": "Sam",
      "color": "blue",
      "age": "33"
    }
  ],
  "green": [
    {
      "name": "eddie",
      "color": "green",
      "age": "77"
    }
  ]
}

TL;DR i've sucessfully wrote something using generics in typescript for the first time, and i think it's pretty epic.

A good place to listen to audio books online? by telepresence in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

[-] telepresence@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago

these two tools apparently let you rip borrowed audiobooks from this service named libby. although i haven't tested them. https://github.com/ping/odmpy https://github.com/bookbonobo/libby-download-extension

also, have you checked the index? stuff like this is usually there.

where is an OK place to experiment with bots? by telepresence in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] telepresence@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

good call asking for a proper venue to test this, but how do you mean you can't remove federated stuff? i was under the impression (from lemmy's homepage) that one of the features is 100% complete deletion by replacing post/comment content with 'removed by user'. is this not the case?

Microsoft is using malware-like pop-ups in Windows 11 to get people to ditch Google by telepresence in c/technology@lemmy.world

Check out some alternatives:
searXNG - open source & self-hosted meta-search engine (aggregates results from many others, like google, bing, qwant, duckduckgo - configurable which ones.) list of public instances just pick one that's close to you physically and has a good uptime.
duckduckgo - uses bing for most search results, but is way more private
brave search - uses their own index, has a privacy-respecting privacy policy and the results are pretty damn good

Banger i found randomly when checking the twitter of one of my favorite artists, @xyanaid. They made the album cover.

has your YouTube consumption decreased after implementing the "no history, no recommendations" feature? by telepresence in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] telepresence@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

spent a few hours yesterday sorting all of my subscriptions and moving them to newpipe. while having everything auto-backed up by google was convenient, newpipe is much better - i go in, watch some videos i saved into a playlist or that have come out from subscribed channels, then go out. it feels way better then being sucked in by the algorithm. i think i'll still use youtube's algorithm on my pc sometimes, as this setup hinders new content discovery. but overall, i'm really pleased so far with the new setup.

Check out Gamers Nexus. In their last ITX case review, you can see just the level of immense detail, specifications and testing for a simple computer case.

I am glad that they plan to improve and made steps towards it, but i still have a sour taste in my mouth:

I was expecting a formal apology for the monoblock and mouse skates film issue. Both of these were instances where LTT threw another smaller company under the bus. Them not addressing it further gives the assumption that they can, and will keep getting away with stuff like this.
Their new guidelines for correction policy are flawed; even the low-severity ones are thing that really shouldn't be tolerated with no corrective action, and all factual mistakes should be re-shot or voiced over instead of on-screen corrections.
They hardly touched upon the whole Madison situation, except for some boasting about employee benefits.
In the whole situation, I felt like they failed to really admit that they were sorry for what hapened, and were taking the role of the victims.
- "We are people too" and a whole segment in this video of emails from fans hoping they will get better soon and "survive this difficult shitstorm". LMG was merely getting away with this stuff for a long time and just now have been called out. They don't deserve any harassment, however, they also don't deserve any "Get better soon" emails from fans.

TL;DR: I will most likely continue to watch Linus tech tips for entertainment purposes, but will no longer trust them on any technical details, and would go to other channels for tutorials on how to build a pc and such.
