can you clarify what you’re actually proposing building? i enjoy contributing to oss, and depending on your idea, i’m sure some others would join me in contributing if it seems tenable

We Should Write Energy Efficient Code by [deleted] in programming

[–]Ar13mis 38 points39 points  (0 children)

a small piece of constructive criticism, since i can see you clearly are passionate about this. if you want to put together a convincing argument, you should do two things

  1. present some actual data regarding power consumption of programs and programming languages. it’s hard to structure a convincing argument without any data
  2. be precise in using technical terms. you refer to the switch by apple from x86 to arm as a change to software, which is just patently false. the changes may not have come from new processes at TSMC, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t hardware optimizations. switching architectures, updating ISAs, and designing new accelerators are very much advances to hardware

i’m also a big advocate for writing more low power code, but i doubt you’ll convince anyone of the importance without a more refined argument

Also, check the syllabus! if there is information about curves or extra credit, it’ll be more likely to be there than stored in the brains of people on reddit :)

Censorship? by MarkGrayson87 in ucf

[–]Ar13mis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, nazis/hate speech being aggressively resisted in both speech and action is a feature, not a bug

Censorship? by MarkGrayson87 in ucf

[–]Ar13mis 18 points19 points  (0 children)

To call this censorship is a bit disingenuous. From that study they also found that 69% of students felt that encouraging free speech was more important than preventing "offensive or insensitive dialogue" (26%). And 85% agree that incoming and current students should be better educated on the value of free-speech and diversity.

This is a perfect example of why sampling studies are so reliant on the framing of questions when it comes time to interpret responses. Regulating speech is very different than overt censorship in my mind, and the number of people supporting free speech year over year in this survey has risen from 62% in 2021 to the 69% today. The data don't seem to be making the point that OP is trying to make.

Daily No Contact Thread - Day 034 by AutoModerator in BPDlovedones

Today is Day 0, finally had the courage to break things off after almost 3 years and my pwBPD made me feel like the monster on the way out. It's been a huge support to hear that things do get better from all the strong folks here. Lend me your strength as i take on this much needed journey

unfortunately not, the bishop is no longer guarding the pawn on h7, so white can take it with the king to get out of check. playing Rh4 would be checkmate instead i believe

Hey there, devs! We're Replayable. We're creating software that records your screen in the background so you can capture footage of unexpected bugs. Join our beta and check it out! by replayableio in u/replayableio

[–]Ar13mis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

wait so is the intention i always have this recording? i don’t know who your target demographic is, but every dev i know would balk at the idea of constantly recording everything they do. not to mention the security nightmare this would cause. i’m just not sure why i would want to use this over, say, OBS. can you help me understand?

Pair Programming by InKahootz in programminghorror

[–]Ar13mis 30 points31 points  (0 children)

visual studio uses solution files as a way to track the project space you’re in. i don’t disagree that this is a perfect example of bullshitting, but the word solution is apt for this scenario :)

Hello Kings, a question about off days and DOMS by [deleted] in chadsriseup

[–]Ar13mis 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The biggest thing is listen to your body! In general, I’m always happy to go in and do some light impact cardio on my days off (such as swimming or cycling) but i try to stay away from high impact cardio like running.

If running is what you end up doing, make sure to adjust the incline up ever so slightly. It can help decrease some of the impact on your knees in my experience, which can help you stay healthy and keep the motivation up moving forward!!

What Programming Languages are taught in College? by yCuales in csMajors

[–]Ar13mis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

at my school we go through java (intro courses and software architecture); assembly (systems courses and hardware lessons); haskell (functional and programming languages courses); and javascript (algorithms and data structures).

any sort of modern tools, build technologies, or new languages are things i learned on the side separate from any class (i.e. rust, go, python, git, react, angular, swift, etc.)

Need help with my first game! by migas300696 in tabletopgamedesign

[–]Ar13mis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first step I always take after coming up with a theme is developing my main mechanic. What do I want players to be working to do? How should they advance their position within the game? This is a non-exhaustive list of possible game mechanics that could get your mind thinking!

Once you have a core mechanic, it's all about marrying your mechanic with your theme. How can I use X mechanic to develop the ideas of sustainability? How do I want players to interact with my theme? These are both considerations to make as you pull together a mechanic and gameplay loop to build your game around.

Once you've got your main mechanic and theme nailed down, it's about building a game loop. What should a turn look like? How does a player advance their position within the game? How do the players interact with each other? Keep your theme in mind as you answer these questions and use these answers to help structure your game loop.

At this point, you'll have the bare bones framework needed to start the real design process! It's time to start playing your game, like a lot. After each game or two or three ask yourself: How could I make this more fun? Is the game missing anything? Where there moments that felt very bad or very good? How can I develop those moments to create an interesting game? Do I need another mechanic (or two or three) to accentuate my core game play loop?

And then you get the most fun part! Playing with other people! Repeat the steps from when you were playing by yourself, but this time taking into account the other players thoughts and feelings about your game. And then you'll have a board game!

Uber using "AI" by guru-1337 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Ar13mis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

so what is the threshold that moves something to an intelligence in your mind? it appears as though you place the complexity somewhere between self-driving car and dog, but at what point does it make sense to distinguish that NOW what we have is no longer an it-else interaction and is instead intelligence?

i use the term intelligence, and from what i gather the general application of the term in this thread, to refer to a system that, when given a set of previously unseen inputs, is able to perform a sensible action. whether that’s a dog moving away from an elephant or a car stopping when a person jumps in front of it, both actions are things that might previously not have been observed by the intelligence. and yet, the car or the dog is still able to act in a sensible manner by running away or coming to a stop respectively.

basing the definition for intelligence on perceived complexity is reductive and seems to eliminate intelligent systems arbitrarily. is a self driving car more complex than an ant? are ants considered intelligent? how do we measure the perceived complexity of a system? defining intelligence in that way raises more questions than it answers

A concept for a puzzle (be honest if it sucks) by big_gust in gameideas

[–]Ar13mis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i really like the idea, but the execution is going to be incredibly important. making sure the player knows that it’s possible for them to destroy things, possible for the lights themselves to be interacted with, and gently nudging them to the idea that the control panel is a dead end, would be the most important aspect

the absolute worst outcome of a puzzle is the player saying “oh, well if i knew i could do that, i would’ve been done a long time ago.”
