  • You will be writing JavaScript. You will not be avoiding JavaScript. WASM is still glued to the DOM with JavaScript, if you are lucky and your idea isn't that novel you won't need to write any JavaScript, I guess.

  • If you suppose a multiple choice test MUST ONLY have one correct answer:

    1. Eliminate duplicate 25% answers
    2. You are left with 60% and 50% as potential answers to this question.
    3. C is the answer

    If you were to actually select an answer at random to this question while believing the above, you would have a 50% chance of answering 25%.

    It is obvious to postulate that: for all multiple choice questions with no duplicate answers, there is a 25% chance of selecting the correct answer.

    However as you can see, in order to integrate the answer being C with the question itself, we have to destroy the constraints of the solution and treat the duplicate 25% answers as one sum correct answer.

    Do you choose to see the multiple choice answer space as an expression of the infinite space of potential free form answers? Was the answer to the question itself an expression of multiple choice probability or was it the answer from the free form answer space condensed into the multiple choice answer space?

    The question demonstrates arriving at different answers between inductive and deductive reasoning. The answer depends on whether we are taking the answers and working backwards or taking the question and working forwards. The question itself forces the inductive reasoning strategy to falter at the duplicate answers, leading to deductive reasoning being the remaining strategy. Some may choose to say "there is no answer" in the presence of needing to answer a question that only has an answer because we are forced to pick one option, and otherwise would be invalid. Some may choose to point out it is obviously a paradox.

  • Why does Lemmy use "@" instead of ":" like Matrix does?

    Jump

  • For anyone who can't read that many words at once: URI means identifier and URL means locator.

    Matrix does not mix the roles of its URIs beyond the ability to attempt to reach that homeserver through NOT ONLY DNS but also through routing between homeservers. Matrix, unlike this garbage, actually wants to support ephemeral homeservers and such as well.

    Sadly these web technology fucks cannot get their heads even a centimeter further towards the exit of their anus to even risk beginning to care about how garbage their architectures are.

  • Matrix was influenced by the traditional URI schema approach however they also used an inverted URI to have the most significant segment be the first segmont. This is why it has a prepended segment followed by a : and then a URL.

    The relationship the URI is describing is homeserver owns user and traditionally we might go homeserver:user I'd argue it is obvious to just invert that into user:homeserver. See Java, dotnet, etc reverse dns naming conventions.

    A matrix room is not at a URI, it is on every homeserver that participates in the room. I am not talking about Lemmy and its garbage entirely incorrectly semantic URI scheme. Matrix rooms are globally uniquely identified, and so the room URI only describes the idea of the resource of the room. room:homeserver.

    The prefixes are an obvious and neccesary evil for parsing them out of unstructured text. A requirement for most users.

    ActivityPub and related went "fuck everything, fuck reason, the web is fucking amazing" and came up with their own flavor of stupidity. Emails use an ancient first attempt at a URL. A URL. What does the URL do? It is explicitly intended to tell you which server to contact. People are going "yeah but email!1!!" entirely moronically ignoring historical context.

  • They aren't URLs they are URI schemas. A URL is a segment of the URI schema.

  • This is a sarcastic answer, but kinda serious. Just go ahead and blackhole all dns responses from anything other than basically just wikipedia at this point :/

    1. They use a service to send the text notification rather than directly texting a number, this inserts the original header
    2. They are aware phone screens are not wide and text wrapping can be weird. They thus awkwardly split a normal message across a few lines manually as well as writing too much on one line.
    3. Nobody tried to emulate a script. She copy and pasted some shit off the appointment info.

  • Holy fuck delete this shit. You've described a death plug, and this shit kills grid workers and innocent people who don't know the plug is live. You absolutely NEED a proper system set up for this with a PROPER PLUG and the proper safety disconnects to avoid backfeeding the pover grid and KILLING PEOPLE.

  • "1.32 MB" Is that pronounced, "one-point-three-two" megabytes, or "one-point-thirty-two" megabytes?

    Jump

  • I agree that the precision is not that valuable as some have said. I'd just read the numbers off as one point two three megabytes since anyone who cares can reconstruct the number, anyone who doesn't can stick to the first few sig figs.

    For 257.62 GB I'd say "two hundred fifty seven point six two". Yep. I put in the effort for the most significant of the digits, I dont bother beyond that.

    8249.19 GB? About 8 terabytes. Doesnt really matter anymore.
