As a general rule for AliExpress, if something is priced too low, it’s going to be garbage.

I’ve relied on Reddit thread advice in the past for getting decently reputable Chinese brands, which has worked well when buying various things (cycling gear, kitchen scale, mini-PC).

Nutty Putty Cave

I can’t figure it out by searching, but I think ktfmt can do this?

Mornings at the gym are the best, honestly. I get the whole place basically to myself.

Seems quite inadvisable unless backed by the larger video community, which in turn I think will be unlikely.

Do not underestimate how incredibly load-bearing ffmpeg is to all of video technology, and do not underestimate the crazy shit going on inside it. It’s a remarkable piece of technology.

Anyone know if it fairs better on Android TV these days?

Seems unlikely that they will be successful in shutting it down. If that were the case, they would have been shut down over the books already.

Hot damn. Imagine getting executed by high pressure chamber, kind of gnarly

Flying cars are too dumb to exist

You’re going to be sabotaging yourself if you don’t use Android Studio.

Quite literally yes

We get encouraged to try out AI tools for various purposes to see where we can find value out of them, if any. There are some use-cases where the tech makes sense when wielded correctly, and in those cases I make use of it. In other cases, I don’t.

So far, I suspect we may be striking a decent balance. I have however noticed a concern trend of people copy-pasting unfiltered slop as a response to various scenarios, which is obviously not helpful.

Non-engineering positions

Big tech pays large amounts of money. This is why people choose to work there.

I have figured it out: many of them.

Great! I salute your rigour in the matter. How many of them was it?

And no, Amnesty did not produce a significant amount of primary evidence. You’re just straight up lying now.

There are 430 hits for “Amnesty International interview” as sources.

Who knows, maybe they just interviewed Adrian Zenz for all of those claims. The joke would very much be on me in that case

Feel free to figure that part out. At a cursory glance, a not-insignificant part was information sourced directly by Amnesty.

Is Amnesty International a fundamentalist right wing organization, captured by Adrian Zenz?

They do cite him five times in their report on the subject, but their report does contain a total of 718 sources.

This is not to say that their report should be treated as uncritically correct, but neither should their claims be dismissed outright because of an anticommunist having been a part of doing research on the subject.

To illustrate - Candace Owens, a well known right-wing agitator and all-round piece of shit frequently speaks out against Israel. This does not, very obviously not, make Israel good.

Water, closely followed by coffee. I adhere to a two cup limit, but by god do I enjoy those two cups.

I mean, with large swaths of big tech companies running monorepos, does this statement really stand up to scrutiny?

For one data point, Google has >2 billion slocs in their monorepo.
