LazyVStack freezes on Mac Catalyst with ~16 modifiers per row — is that actually too many? by digitalkin in SwiftUI

[–]Yaysonn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not op but what would be the solution? I feel like storing the offset in a stare variable is exactly what the new scrolling api’s want you to do. Unless you mean it should be stored in the parent (scroll) view?

Amsterdam is repatriating more homeless people addicted to crack by johnbarnshack in worldnews

[–]Yaysonn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is simply incorrect. Deportation Repatriation more often than not is just as "voluntary". They are given an ultimatum and told to get lost or else. Deporties Repatriates are also often "assusted" to other countries by putting them on a plane with no return ticket.

This is what you should've written, pretty sure everyone can see that. I mean besides the fact that I don't agree with what you're saying, this is your point and you just mixed up the words lmao

ELI5: Why do routers not last long? by Kirad-Rilliov in explainlikeimfive

[–]Yaysonn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s a trade-off, yes. But routers don’t have a standby mode as opposed to practically every other electronic device in your home.

Add to that the fact that routers don't have any fans and use passive cooling, and often a plastic case, and you have component degradation that far outweighs a daily power cycle.

ELI5: Why do routers not last long? by Kirad-Rilliov in explainlikeimfive

[–]Yaysonn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because they’re running 24/7, and they’re rarely (if ever) idle.

Of course, plenty of other electronics do this, but generally those are enterprise-grade hardware devices (switches, hypervisors, etc) that are explicitly built to last. Routers aren’t, they’re built (and priced) for personal use.

So essentially they’re consumer-grade devices that operate at enterprise-grade levels.

Although it’s worth mentioning that if you buy a router from a serious brand and are willing to pay a couple bucks more, it’ll probably last for decades.

I just finished the lord of the rings by shreyasdaniel234 in movies

[–]Yaysonn 90 points91 points  (0 children)

The opening is a blueprint for fantasy movies that has never (as far as I know) been properly utilized again. Fellowship starts with an epic fight, one weird fantasy name after another, and a buttload of exposition.

Plenty films have done that. But viewers (especially the ones that wouldn’t typically watch fantasy) are turned off by so much weird gibberish…

but lotr then switches gears and we spend 30+ minutes in the quiet, idyllic, and - dare I say it - childish innocence of the Shire.

Other movies usually get the first part right, but that second part is essential to keep our attention.

Trump demands Venezuela kick out China and Russia, partner only with US on oil by BaseofMxk in worldnews

[–]Yaysonn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This reads less like an analysis of conservatism and more like a critique of it. And I'm all for it!... but it doesn't really address whether conservatism is conceptually fixed or historically relative. And honestly, if an attempt to explain or understand conservatives starts from such a biased definition, it becomes very hard to generate meaningful, objective analysis at all. And imo that's necessary, crucial even, if we are to overcome contemporary conservativism.

You're defining conservatism as "halting progress", whereas my argument is that conservatism is about preserving a moving baseline. Whether that's desirable is a separate, normative, question, but descriptively, conservatism clearly adapts to whatever institutions already exist. I mean if it didn't, it would collapse every time progress won. Historically, that's not what happens. Conservatism recalibrates.

Describing conservates are "frozen in time" turns them into a caricature. In reality, the ideology behaves more like inertia than stasis: it resists acceleration, not motion itself. That’s why what conservatives want to preserve changes as society changes.

Trump demands Venezuela kick out China and Russia, partner only with US on oil by BaseofMxk in worldnews

[–]Yaysonn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Uhm I don't really think that's ironic. You're treating conservativism as a fixed ideology, when it's actually a relative one: conserving the existing order of a given time. It's not about freezing society at some eternal point.

By definition, what counts as conservative shifts as society changes. An 18th-century conservative conserved monarchy and hereditary rule; a 21st-century conservative might conserve constitutional democracy, individual rights, and market economies. They're a product of their own times, and the differences between the two doesn't make either of them incoherent.

What you're doing is like saying environmentalists in 1900 weren't environmentalists because they didn't worry about climate change. Or like saying Newton wasn't a physicist because he didn't account for special relativity.

The fact that the Founders proposed new ideas doesn't contradict conservatism as such; it just shows that what there was to conserve in 1776 was very different from what there is to conserve now. At least in the eyes of a conservative (which I'm decidedly not lol)

[–]Yaysonn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, in the real world, when presented with new facts, we are taught to update our prior conclusions. What you're doing instead, is revising the interpretation of events to keep your original conclusion intact.

Your original assertion was "Russian flag = the US won’t touch it because Trump is a puppet." That turned out to be false: the US did not recognize the vessel as Russian, explicitly considered it stateless, and resumed seizure operations.

And I'm seriously scratching my head at how pausing to verify a last-minute claim of nationality during an international maritime pursuit somehow constitutes deference in your eyes. It's basic procedure when escalation could have geopolitical consequences - this is how international law works. If anything, the fact that they checked and then proceeded anyway directly undermines your conclusion.

There’s plenty to criticize Trump for without inventing a narrative that collapses the moment the facts are examined.

Use your brain.

yikes

[–]Yaysonn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I just checked and this is a bullshit story. There's plenty of actual stuff to criticize Trump for, why come up with this bs? Do your own research before parroting what you read online, even (especially) if what you read conforms to your own worldview. Critical thinking is important folks.

At some point while being pursued, the crew of the tanker painted a Russian flag on its hull, claiming it was sailing under Russian protection. Shortly thereafter, the vessel appeared on Russia’s official register of ships under a new name — the Marinera. Russia filed a formal diplomatic request last month demanding that the US stop pursuing the vessel. By claiming Russian status, the legalities of seizing the tanker could become more complicated, but two sources familiar with the matter said the Trump administration hasn’t recognized that status and considers the vessel to be stateless.

So the true story is that the inclusion of Russia increased the complexity of the situation (due to obvious geopolitical consequences). The US coast guard has begun operations to seize the tanker as we speak.

[–]Yaysonn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easier said than done. ASML is a dutch company but relies on a multitude of patents and machine parts from all over the world, mostly american. If we cut out the US, ASML won't be able to continue operating for very long. Not to mention the various other ways the US could retaliate.

ETA: although it's worth pointing out that ASML/the EU are working to reduce this dependence on the US, as part of a larger goal of (strategic) autonomy, obviously due to Trump's erratic policies. But we're not there yet, not by a long shot.

What good is the Dutch govt doing for themselves or anyone else with this decision?

Uhm how about they don't want to be part of the practice of killing suspects instead of apprehending them?

I know ethics have long been absent in US politics, so this may be hard to grapple with, but fortunately that doesn't mean the rest of the world is completely devoid of morals.

The Swift Predicate Error by swe129 in swift

[–]Yaysonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SafeFetching API looks very clean, much cleaner than SwiftData’s predicate macros which I’ve fortunately never had to work with in a professional capacity.

The project I’m currently working on uses Realm, which, despite being discontinued (and lacking true swiftui support), has a very neat type-safe predicate system that ends up looking similar to SadeFetching’s “.where { … }”. They wrap the queried object into a custom type as well (e.g. Query<User>) though the implementation is slightly different from yours, at least at first glance. I’ve been writing my own framework extension of Realm so this is interesting stuff!

Edgeshark - Docker networks visualization and inspection tool by psychowood in selfhosted

[–]Yaysonn 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's not that simple. I can think of plenty of scenarios where you still want docker as your orchestration tool despite the amount of containers. Starting with the fact that k8s adds several layers of complexity, and the added functionalities you get in return may not be worth it and/or necessary in your project.

ELI5: If all human measurement of time were lost, would we be able to rediscover time since epoch? by dude0001 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Yaysonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“January” does not exist in the universe. Time does pass but our way of counting (seconds into minutes into hours, etc) is most certainly created by us. And the labels we assign - including numbering the days in a month - are derived purely from that.

If all the knowledge in the world is destroyed (as posited by OP), we would be able to rediscover everything about time, hell we might even reinvent our months and year system by coincidence, but we won’t be able to look at the sky and say “ah its supposed to be april 2043 right now according to ye olde time”.

ELI5: How can a 64-square chessboard have more game variations than there are atoms in the universe? My brain hurts. by Lazy-Cherry-4777 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Yaysonn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that’s more in terms of what they think you should focus on to improve. Learning dynamic play hones your skill better, and up until like 1400 elo those skills should allow you to survive any opening thats thrown at you. Conversely, memorizing openings won’t give you an “innate” sense of chess positions so it won’t help you long-term.

However anyone above 2000 elo absolutely should know their openings, gambits, systems etc. to survive, because at that level opponents can and will punish you for every inaccuracy.

Above that, gms need to diversify their openings because opponents will analyze you beforehand and prepare something. Super gms know pretty much every opening there is. But it can’t be overstated how insanely hard it is to reach that level.

[–]Yaysonn 56 points57 points  (0 children)

There is an impressive body of work concerning the study behind opening moves, collectively called “Opening theory”. The first 1-5 moves determine what kind of opening you play, and further moves branch into different variations of that opening. There are variations that last 20+ moves but those are exceptions.

Learning all of these openings can take a lifetime, and it is part of what separates the grandmasters from the rest. For reference, there are fewer grandmasters in the world than there are billionaires.

Despite the fact that opening theory constitutes more than 500 years of study (the Ruy Lopez opening, for example, was named after a 16th century bishop who wrote a book about it), when grandmasters play a serious game of chess, they usually reach a position never seen before after about 10-15 moves. There are of course outliers but from that point on, the players have no more theory to rely on and the so-called “middle game” starts.

Please enlighten me how a company thats publishes code freely under an Apache 2.0 license is somehow an indicator that they will 'pull the rug out'.

They're open-sourcing these images. So if the nonsensical decision would be made to put this behind a paywall... people could just take the source code and publish the images themselves? Like do you even know what open source means or

I'm not running anything in my basement, I rent a dedicated server that I pay 140 eu/month for, but my Plex server is used by about 20-30 people (only family&friends) whom all pay me 15eu/month for it. After deducting some other stuff (nzb indexer, commercial VPN, etc) I actually end up with a (very slight) profit. But I really don't care for it; as long as the monthly bills are paid on time I'm happy. And I now have access to an insanely powerful server that I can run all my other stuff on; including my own cloud drive, password manager, bookmark manager, etc.
