Yes, blocking posts from .ml and dbzer0 helped. Same goes for just liberally blocking anybody, who starts screaming instead of participating nicely.

I’ve been considering blocking .world, as some of the mods are behaving like power tripping reddit mods. But it’s the biggest instance and without it I wouldn’t have any content.

Drop autodesk. I’ve got access to autodesk products as an educator, and I’ve used inventor for years, but I have only had FreeCAD on my system for months. I have not found myself being unable to do anything I could do in Inventor.

My retarded ass: 9 is 0b1001 and 7 is 0b111, 0b1001+0b111 is 0b10000 which is 16.

Am kidding, I take 9’s ten friend, sub-stract that from 7 et voilà I have 6 ones and 1 ten which is 16.

It’s been a week, did you figure it out?

The switch on the printer, does it switch on the AC side or DC? Because if it’s on the AC side of the PSU (which it really ought to be) that narrows possible culprits down quite a lot.

I don’t know where you’re from, but with a statement like that I can tell it isn’t Ireland or Sweden. Those guys have had their share.

I’m not anti bass, I’m anti genocide… Seems like something I’ve said before

Free Palestine and fuck Jerry Springer and his stupid bass line

What’s that about jealousy? I can’t quite hear you over my socialised health care, free university education, and properly maintained public roads.

Believing it’s jealousy is so wildly out of touch. It’s not jealousy when I skip Mickey D in favour of a local chain, or buy local cola instead of coke, it’s “stay the duck away from Greenland”, “you elected him twice?!?”, and “if you don’t want to be in NATO anymore, fine, but could you not try to actively work against us?”

The lawnmower was collateral damage, but the resulting edge trimmers meowing for snacks are scary.

Better than realizing that the cabinet was open by standing up into the outer corner of the door.

Look at that beefy bad ass, he has already shredded the biggest dog and that’s why the rest are so well behaved.

I thought the joke was about people not being able to convert. It took a couple of clock cycles on the old meat CPU to figure out that it was an anti AI meme.

While I do agree with you, kWh is what’s on my electric bill. Meaning it’s easier to relate to.

I guess it should have been expressed in base unit without SI-prefix. Because writing 0.3x10^-3 kWh just seem silly.

And here I thought I had it all figured out. But it does make sense. Doing it with an analog signal introduces noise and measuring pulse widths is going to be simpler.

Except that wasn’t a serial port, it was midi, and the reason it was on the sound card was because the input was analog.

Your joystick was just two fancy potentiometers, and your soundcard decoded the voltage on the middle legs into a position.

Soundcards handled joysticks because they had the fastest ADCs.

as the legacy instruction sets are interpreted/translated.

Wth? That’s it, I’m sticking to the AVR then

I get what you’re saying. I guess what I’m yelling at the clouds about is the common discourse more than anything else.

If a screw has a slotted head, and your screwdriver is a torx, few people would say that the screwdriver won’t allow them to do something.

Computers are just tools, and we’re the ones who created them. We shouldn’t be submissive, we should acknowledge that we have taken the wrong approach at solving something and do it a different way. Just like I would bitch about never having the correct screwdriver handy, and then go look for the right one.

Stupid cloud, who’s laughing now?

I get the analogy, but I don’t think that it’s valid. Soldiers are, much to the chagrin of their commanders, sentient beings, and should question potentially illegal orders.

Where the analogy doesn’t hold is, besides my computer not being sentient, what I’m prevented from doing isn’t against the law of man.

I’m not claiming to be infallible. After all to err is human, and I’m indeed very human. But throw me a warning when I do something that goes against best practices, that’s fine. Whether I deal with it is something for me to decide. But stopping me from doing what I’m trying to do, because it’s potentially problematic? GTFO with that kinda BS.

But it will let you do it if you really want to.

Now, I’ve seen this a couple of times in this post. The idea that the compiler will let you do anything is so bizarre to me. It’s not a matter of being allowed by the software to do anything. The software will do what you goddamn tell it to do, or it gets replaced.

WE’RE the humans, we’re not asking some silicon diodes for permission. What the actual fuck?!? We created the fucking thing to do our bidding, and now we’re all oh pwueez mr computer sir, may I have another ADC EAX, R13? FUCK THAT! Either the computer performs like the tool it is, or it goes the way of broken hammers and lawnmowers!
