It baffles me that people actually take these assertions seriously, especially after having used different software that uses voice input, like Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa or whatever. Those things make some serious mistakes even under ideal circumstances, and you want me to believe that they can accurately overhear things in non-ideal circumstances? I highly doubt it.

Regardless, you can use an ad blocker to make this a moot point - I’ve never experienced anything even close to this, because I never get ads.

General purpose: Kebab case

But really, follow the conventions of what you’re working on. For example, I’d use pascal case when working on a Java/Kotlin project, and snake case when working on a Python project.

Not saying there’s any reason to switch, but I believe you can load CSV’s into sqlite.

Datasette would be something that I would try for CSV’s as well, that seems like an interesting piece of technology I haven’t had reason to use yet.

Finally there’s always Jupiter Notebook and any respectable DataFrame-solution.

Not to knock spreadsheet-solutions too much - I certainly see their value and use them frequently - but if I had to do something that warranted writing VBA, I’d probably reach for a tool I could combine with some form of VCS like Git at least.

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this while flying in the EU, and I’ve done my fair share of it, living here and all.

I don’t know if it matches your desire for easy install of small disk space, but it might make up for it in other arenas - Ruby is my new-found love when making simple scripts. Being able to mostly emulate the shell integration that bash has by just using backticks to call a shell command is the killer feature in my book.

Basically guaranteed to be a clear text offender

I’m sure they make enough money to not care. Being in the part of the company that brings in the dough is generally a pretty good position to be in as well.

While Rust would probably have been a good choice for implementing a new browser, I don’t think Swift deserves the criticism it’s getting in this thread:

• Swift was created by the same person who created Rust, and has many of the same nice traits
• Swift is a modern language that is easy for plenty of developers to pick up; I’d place it in the same family as Rust and Kotlin
• Swift grants access to a large pool of native iOS/Mac developers

Not consciously, it’s been a long while since I watched zero punctuation.

This thread is generally filled with completely pants-on-head dietary advice.

Don’t get this type of information from randoms on Lemmy, contact a professional instead. I’ve noticed that Lemmy is exceptionally bad as a source for this.

I seriously doubt it. At most this is probably an A/B-test or some content-specific restrictions.

Not necessary, apps can register to open links from specific domains.

The only caveat is that if they don’t also own the domain - like Google owns both youtube.com and the YouTube Android app - you have to manually go to the settings for the app in System Settings and enable them, under ‘Open by default’.

Podcasts often dynamically generate ads at the point of download, making the SponsorBlock-approach unviable: since the media is expected to be variable-length you can’t store media positions that map to advertisement segments.

So first off, I don’t think you should bring the laws of physics into conversations of how human bodies store fat. I know it’s tempting - I’ve been there before - but it’s just too reductive to be useful in the conversation, and it leads to generally poor conclusions.

While it’s true that energy cannot be ‘conjured from nothing’ - human bodies don’t quite work on a fixed energy in/out model. They can be variably efficient in how much energy is required to perform certain tasks, and secondary systems can be turned off when the need to conserve energy becomes apparent (leptin is the signaling mechanism for this).

The main mechanisms that cause rebound weight gain after sharp dieting is a reduction in passive energy needs stemming from the change in leptin levels, along with leptins very strong effect on appetite.

I suggest to you, and anyone still under the impression that CICO is a useful model for understanding human metabolism, to read the book The Hungry Brain. It’s hugely useful for gaining greater insight into the subject.

Healthcare is pretty rough, I’d be willing to bet that the grass actually is greener in this case.

It’s more likely that the military is behind this call. Thailand may be a monarchy but the monarch is not strictly speaking in charge as far as I know.

Should have say: self-hosting is always superior to cloud hosting.

That statement still comes with a pretty damn big caveat though - you need to have the know-how, the time to invest and the hardware (i.e money) to actually set something like this up.

If all of those are true, then self-hosting can definitely be an attractive option for you.

It’s only true for a vanishingly small fraction of the population, though.

Hence, Bitwarden is a pragmatic solution that will be superior for the vast majority of the population.

Also, local software and database is always superior to cloud.

Now there’s an unfounded blanket statement if I ever saw one.

Go is in a good position, yeah. JavaScript has prettier, which is nice. Java has google-java-format. Python has ruff, which is quite good. Kotlin has ktfmt, which I believe made a mistake with their standards by not following the standard formatting guidelines for the language, but whatever. Uniform and deterministic for the win.

Automatically enforced deterministic formatting is the best, there’s nothing that beats it. The productivity in just being able to format on save knowing that the code will be in the ideally formatted state, along with the anti-bikeshedding properties of this strategy, makes it unbeatable.
