  • And cached. Browsers just use the RAM for what it exists for.

  • It’s Markdown syntax. Single newlines are ignored so the text can be styled to be 80 characters wide for example but still have it rendered with another line length while two newlines result in a new paragraph. It’s not about “space efficiency”.

    To get a visible linebreak without creating a paragraph, add two spaces at the end of the line you want to break.

     markdown
        
    hello↵
    ↵
    this is the first line␣␣↵
    this is the second line↵
    ↵
    more text here
    
      

    … results in this:


    hello

    this is the first linethis is the second line

    more text here


    (Actual rendering depends on your renderer.)

  • Or just yolo it, if you have some money to burn.

  • Das Gute daran ist, dass die KI sich selbst immer mehr verdummt (es werden mehr KI-Inhalte veröffentlicht, die KI wird mit diesen Inhalten trainiert), und die Ergebnisse irgendwann unbrauchbar werden.

  • I wonder how many of those prompts are just “hi, how are you?” and “thank you”.

  • “Making a game” involves many different subjects. Since were in a programming community I guess things like storytelling, worldbuilding, writing lore, writing characters or missions/quests, designing ingame or promotional art, etc. is ruled out.

    Depending on the game you want to work on, you should learn how to use the game’s engine. It’s always good to know C/C++ well, Lua is also pretty common for scripting. Game engines sometimes also come with their own scripting languages.

    You should also learn 3D modelling, 3D design, GLSL for shaders, etc. Even if modern engines cover a lot of this for you, it’s always good to know what’s actually happen, so you can properly track down errors.

    i cant really make out a different between the definitions of coding and programming, what is the difference if any?

    How I see it: All programming is coding, but not all coding is programming. Writing markup (like HTML) or style definitions (CSS) in my world count as coding, too, but not as programming. I’d also say that writing code in any scripting language is not programming but coding. Whenever the code is meant to be compiled into a standalone binary – a program – it’s programming.

  • On the other hand: Firefox isn’t particularly known for its privacy-focused default configuration.

  • They’re always a few steps behind current technology.

  • Stop eating.

  • If the translations would be any good, yes.

  • there’s a reason firefox has open tickets that are 25 years old.

    And the reason is, they don’t properly triage bugs.

  • Because in Europe we actually own our hardware.

  • Not having telemetry was fine the last 30 years.

  • because all the other browsers have integrated AI

    This is one of the reasons I started using Firefox again.

  • Imagine doing coding interviews but calling other people cringe.

  • In no particular order

    • Kill off all AI in the browser. And don’t re-add it!
    • Do not use hidden extensions that can only be disabled in about:config
    • Make it possible to have tabs and a settable homepage in mobile Firefox
    • Make ALL telemetry and user tracking opt-in
    • Reinstate a fully customizable UI like in the past
    • Make it possible to locally load extensions (no, disabaling validation or temporary loading them for development reasons is not a solution)
    • Allow for app mode (see Chromium-based browser’s --app parameter)
  • Any workarounds?

    When getting the Deutschlandticket from HVV for example, you can opt for a physical card, not needing any app at all. Very convenient.

    I had a deal with my last employer: instead of them handling everything and giving me a code for the app, I ordered the ticket directly from HVV and they payed me the part of it that otherwise would be payed by them directly.

    Maybe your local public transport provider has a physical card, too, and this could be a valid option then?

    The public transportation employee told me that’s not allowed (wtf?). Can anyone here provide a rationale?

    There could be an additional value being calculated in when using the app-based ticket, maybe based on time. A screenshot would be static and producing either invalid or wrong results.

  • tldr:

    "Small, itchy, blister-like bumps caused by the varicella-zoster virus," the dish description from Sikar's Royal Roll Express restaurant reads. "Common in childhood."

    A misreading of the dish name in question — "Chicken Pops" — could well explain why an AI may have spat out a description for what sounds an awful lot like chicken pox, a common childhood virus that causes the exact kind of nasty "blister-like bumps" detailed on the menu.
