Ironically, the accident that caused them to decide Cruise is unsafe was started by a human driver hit-and-run. So the humans are still more unsafe, but they are punishing the robots for it

It’s right there in the name: PHP

Seriously though maintaining a PHP server is a security nightmare and you have to be constantly updating if you don’t want to be hacked. Just not worth it when there’s better options out there

You’re not supposed to remember your dreams. When you remember your dreams it’s when you were woken unexpectedly, or when you consciously or unconsciously fled the dream before returning it to the Dreammaster.

We only borrow our dreams from him every night, but when we leave a dream prematurely we are stealing that dream - bringing it into our reality and hiding it away in our memories.

However precious or horrid your stolen dreams may be, remember that the Dreammaster will claim them back from you. He always does, in the end.

A lot of servers prefer tipping culture. I have friends who can make $100-200 an hour on good nights at fancy restaurants and bars.

Nah I’ve come to appreciate tipping after spending time in the UK where they don’t tip. Service is absolutely dismal here.

And brand C is called Nestle

What do you like better about it over Signal or Whatsapp?

Does it have a good panorama sticker or HDR merger? Those are the tools I absolutely need from Lightroom

Yep. I refuse to update my OS because I’m still hanging on to my non-cloud version of Lightroom 5. No way I’d pay Adobe for like the 5 times I use it per year

What are drools rules? All the pages I’m reading are very high level “bueiness rules” what does that even mean?

VSCode is open source though? Although I guess maybe not the plugins?

Did they really “win” though? Now users are just going to have to look at crappy irrelevant ads.

I actually like FB/Insta ads. They’re products I actually want and sometimes buy. In fact sometimes when I’m looking for a product, I’ll Google for it without incognito mode, and waiting for the ads to show up. Creepy but somehow actually delivers better results than the actual Google search!

Didn’t he fire one of the twitter engineers because he corrected him on a Twitter thread?

Ironic because it’s literally the same situation that Reddit was going through that caused the migration to Lemmy in the first place

I got it bundled with my YouTube Music subscription. Definitely worth it, especially considering you’d pay the same amount for Spotify and not get any videos

Yep. The WHO just declared aspartame (diet Coke sweetener) as a carcinogen.

They’re finding microplastics everywhere now. Even like inside apples and stuff: the plastic somehow travels up the tree into the fruit

Nah. I would hate to live in a country that bans personalized ads. It would be like living in the 90s watching cable TV seeing completely irrelevant tampon and baby ads as a single dude.

Personalized ads are much less annoying than the “spray-and-pray” noise we used to deal with.

That’s wild that shared ptr is so inefficient. I thought everyone was moving towards those because they were universally better. No one mentions the performance hit.

I used to write a lot of performance-critical Java (oxymoron I know) for wearables, and one time I got a code reviewer who only did server-side Java, and the differences in our philosophies were staggering.

He wanted me to convert all my code to functional style, using optionals and streams instead of simple null checks and array iterations. When explained that those things are slower and take more memory it was like I was speaking an alien language. He never even had to consider that code would be running on a system with limited RAM and CPU cycles, didn’t even understand how that was possible.
