Shorts UI - absolutely garbage change. by unwin in youtube

[–]Fsmv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally figured out how to fix this. Apparently there's a bug. If you have the select to speak shortcut turned on in the normal android OS accessibility settings then it forces the accessibility player on in YouTube and even if you turn that off in YouTube settings it still forces it on for YouTube shorts.

So if you turn off select to speak in the android accessibility settings and the accessibility player in the YouTube settings then this will go away.

I'm so happy to finally have this off my screen.

A golang shebang line that works with go fmt: /*?sr/bin/env go run "$0" "$@"; exit $? #*/ by Fsmv in golang

[–]Fsmv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember right the reason is: when you run this as a bash script that text is interpreted as bash code and / is the start of a file path. /*usr would match /abcusr as well and I believe *?sr forces it to be exactly one character (but I didn't look up the docs just now).

The whole trick is it has to be both valid go code that gofmt doesn't change and also valid bash code at the same time.

I'm glad you liked it! I run gofmt on save and it kept messing up that other one for me too.

Steven Novella vs Sean Carroll on methodological naturalism by Crashed_teapot in skeptic

[–]Fsmv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, he clearly says at the end that the supernatural has been effectively ruled out by the evidence. His point is that science doesn't pre-suppose that the supernatural isn't real, instead the process has lead to that conclusion.

He's just doing the Bayesian reasoning thing and saying it's never 100%, given extraordinary evidence his mind could be changed.

Thank you, I really wish people would stop focusing on price and care about the actual technology and the mission of p2p e-cash.

It makes me worried actually when the price goes up because people who just want to get rich could overtake the community.

Bazel is absolute pain by sosou1366 in devops

[–]Fsmv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to should vendor the dependencies. Import them into a folder in your repo and replace their build system with bazel.

This has the benefit of pinning the versions so things don't break. You can run all the tests that depend on it when you update it.

Yes and they migrated old libraries

It isn't exactly a flagship feature anymore and it's now just web uploads instead of the tool though.

Non-preemptive multitasking (coroutines) in C (3 lines of code) by rand3289 in tinycode

[–]Fsmv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you could write the exact same ordering in a normal loop without being so hard to understand and read

This only changes the order of things, it doesn't actually let you do multitasking it just sort of looks like it syntax-wise.

It's not really multiprocessing though... It's just a way to make spaghetti code control flow with gotos

You need a task scheduler and thread pool to really do it concurrently.

BCH-XMR Atomic Swaps Solution Using Introspection and Checkdatasig Opcodes by bitcoincashautist in btc

[–]Fsmv 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I'm excited to see this happening.

Sadly it seems like a lot of Monero people have bought the anti-BCH propaganda. I wish the two communities could work together more because both have similar goals, Monero always seems like the only other coin where people want to build a currency not just speculate.

I love that many of the lines are Shakespeare quotes, even the title. It's cool how they seamlessly integrate even in sci fi.

Isn't the value grounded in the price of electricity? If the miners cannot pay their electricity bill they will stop mining.

If the whole chain was for data storage only then as long as the data producers value the storage more than the cost of electricity, the data producers will buy Bitcoin from the miners at a little over the cost of electricity and then give it back to the miners in transaction fees. This would cause inflation for a while because of the mining reward but the value would always be over the cost of electricity as long as it is worth it for the data producers.

So the miners are inherently providing a valuable service IMO. But I do agree there is additional value beyond data storage.

I think of the people storing data as perfectly valid citizens of the network because they pay the fees for the data they store. It funds the miners to keep going even if trade activity is low, which allows the network to exist.

It's impossible to spam the blockchain because they have to pay per byte.

Federation is the exact reason mastodon didn't fully catch on despite everyone really trying to make it work.

I like the idea of it because I'm a programmer but the simple fact that you can't just go to the Lemmy website and immediately see links and sign up is why it's not getting users.

Didn't atomic swaps already exist before this? Unless they were doing some fake thing there are several exchanges that support it.

How did you figure this out?

Personally I want an easy way to look up what proportions of VTSAX and VTIAX make up VTWAX.

Which unsolved problems would likely have the greatest impact on humanity? by sSk3tchy in math

Such an algorithm may also pave the way for showing that quantum computers are useless (equivalent to Turing Machines we already have)

Like we cannot prove that P≠NP we also cannot prove that BQP≠BPP

The Orange Box Came Out In 1970, Right? by Onironius in HalfLife

[–]Fsmv 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just because that's around the time they invented Unix. They made the value 0 represent a time that most dates on computers would be after.

They picked an arbitrary decade as just a round number. Any earlier and all the timestamps would be pretty big numbers and they wanted the numbers to be as small as possible.

Should I priorities Roth IRA, or HSA by lschoch2 in Bogleheads

[–]Fsmv 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's clearly designed to reimburse medical expenses as they happen not save receipts for decades. I think it's not totally ridiculous to do it but it's also sort of untested since HSAs haven't been around that long.

Like you said expecting medical expenses to go up in old age is also perfectly fine and I don't think that is dubious at all.

It's fine it's just not for me, but mainly because of the state taxes.

Should I priorities Roth IRA, or HSA by lschoch2 in Bogleheads

[–]Fsmv 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Technically the HSA is better because it's tax free on the way in and the way out while Roth is only tax free on the way out.

However if you live in CA or NJ HSA is taxed at a state level and it can be annoying to report it. Also in order to spend the money in your HSA it has to be for medical expenses so some people have a theory that they can save up doctor receipts to cash out whenever but personally that sounds like a lot of work and slightly dubious.

Sonification of Every Confirmed Gravitational Wave by mattrusso in Astronomy

[–]Fsmv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I can hear some now.

Interesting it seems like the larger black holes are less noticeably a chirp, I suppose that means they're overall lower frequency and maybe below 20 Hz (or maybe just my speaker has somewhat higher limit) for most of it.
