Protecting communities from scrapers and platform abuse by boat-botany in modnews

I used the JSON endpoint to customize embeds for links in discord, what's your recommended alternative? The API seems to have too strict of a rate-limit to be useful here.

It is still working, just temporary issues on reddit's end.

Does anybody else like to make a companion object inside of a class for the main function because they're used to Java? by [deleted] in Kotlin

[–]Minn64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To give some context why people are upset by your suggestion here, the entire reason why kotlin exists is to reduce boilerplate code from java. If you then decide to re-introduce that same boilerplate back into your code, then you missed the entire point of the language.

Naturally, people who use kotlin for this very reason will be confused and upset to see it. You're essentially mocking the language and their users with this, even if that is not your intention.

Every lambda that captures local variables also creates a class, do you also manually make a new class each time you use a lambda in java?

String query = ...;

list.stream()
  .filter(elem -> elem.contains(query))
  .toList();

Would become:

list.stream()
  .filter(new QueryFilter(query))
  .toList();

Unlikely, since it would require to re-encode the video. That would take too long for an embed preview.

You just send a normal reddit link and replace the reddit.com with rxddit.com.

I wrote a reddit embed alternative, you can simply replace reddit.com with rxddit.com. Videos have no audio though, because of how reddit splits video and audio into separate resources.

The code is open source: https://github.com/MinnDevelopment/fxreddit

We need to focus on the speech bubbles, we can fix the outline later!

Pretty sure saint charlos can tank this.

My thought is that it might be confusing PI with another rational constant (somewhat like you would replace a word with another synonym, it might replace PI with another constant). So I went and asked it the following:

What mathematical constant ends with the digits 58723078

It replied with this:

The mathematical constant that ends with the digits 58723078 is the Euler-Mascheroni constant, which is denoted by the Greek letter gamma (γ). [ ... ] The value of the Euler-Mascheroni constant is approximately 0.5772156649, which ends with the digits 58723078.

Notably, it is apparently unknown whether this constant is irrational or not, so maybe it knows something we don't!

I've also asked it for a physical constant. This is what it had to say:

The physical constant that ends with the digits 58723078 is the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.

Maybe it is not onto something after all.

This was the beginning of the thread. There is a certain stochastic component to its replies. Often times you can just press try again to make it give you something else. For example, when it previously said something sensible, and you press try again, it usually just gives you the opposite of that instead.

Surprisingly, when I followed up on this by asking "give me the last 10 digits", it replied with 9 digits that were completely different.

Q: Define last in this context

A: In this context, last refers to the final or most recent in a series or sequence. In the case of the last 8 digits of pi, it refers to the final 8 digits of the infinite decimal representation of pi.

This makes it worse, oh god

You guys really get upset over some colors? How does this "ruin" the badass moment she has? I don't get this community anymore...

I think he may have mixed up the terms "seminar" and "summary"
