Lol, the threadiverse has a slice of after dark waffles. The daytime crowd is mostly quiet local regulars. The staff are just the most skilled at running the place with the fewest of them as possible to make half decent money. Most of them have a small line in the door and every seat taken in the morning.
Unlikely, but if any main power lines run past your walls or floor where they are regularly carrying substantial current, you can probably use a wire coil to light an led or something.
If anyone complains about my sleep cycle, I just tell them, "you are not better than people in other time zones." There are sixteen waking hours in the day and at any point in time, a third of the world is asleep. Only a halfwit thinks themselves better than a third of the world.
I hate when people say "I love you" too. If someone wants to say something worth the oxygen, say "I feel loved." To tell someone "I love you" is actually super fucked up. It is admitting to being too stupid to cause the person to feel loved. It is placing meaning on words when those words are about self evident actions, where actions are the only real truth sayer. While speaking words is an action, those words could be anything, and if the person feels that such insignificant action is sufficiently meaningful as to be the value of "love," I do not think we have a very good standard definition, or perhaps I am putting far too much effort into a space with a fool that cannot comprehend with reciprocal depth.
I think of it like people saying "I think I am smart." That is a stupid thing to say as it is for others to judge for themselves, and stating it has no meaning except to make yourself sound stupid. Same thing with "I love you." Ask them, "Do you feel loved?" That is intelligent and pragmatic. To say "I love you" is more like a threat. 'This is all you're gonna get out of me in this relationship,' is essentially what is implied. It is projecting expectations upon someone in place of developing deeper connections.
Probably contested region of Kashmir with someone in a mobile game, and a guy from Ukraine I knew before the war because we both made some similar uploads on YT. I got a book from a guy that I met on reddit that turned out to be the author and was from somewhere in central Africa, but I forget where exactly. As far as on Lemmy, this one girl from Turkey was fun to talk to. Most people here do not share that much personal information.
I think you are at a similar place where I got stuck before. One, do not hesitate to toss all of your code and redo it from scratch a few times. I do this in CAD naturally all the time, but struggle to do the same in code, and it leaves me with unfinished projects, many, very many, just like this one. So my advice is to first get a minimum functional version where you are at now, and archive it. At least you can finish the project that way.
Second, learn about schedulers. There are many types of schedulers, for example in the Linux kernel. The CPU scheduler is probably the best place to get started learning. This is a thing you need to have in mind from the very start of the project. You write the CPU scheduler to be your main loop. Then you use interrupts and processes with priorities. You may never need to halt one process/function to run another, like saving the registers states to RAM and loading some other process thread. This allows you to break stuff up into more manageable chunks so you might load some characters into the LCD's custom character buffer, then service the RTC fetch routine, then display those characters in the next time slot.
The scheduler is a periodic interrupt loop that check what wants to run in the next time slot, picks the most important priority code, and runs it. If your code completes before the scheduler time slot ends, it may call the scheduler to run or you might keep it simple and and just wait until the next scheduler interrupt triggers the proceeding time slot. the scheduler has a high priority interrupt so that it preempts whatever code you may be running. The reset and external I/O still have higher level interrupts and short routines. With any external button interrupts, these would enable a high priority function/process that the scheduler then loads code to execute in the next cycle.
At first this seems inefficient or a waste, and it is overhead, but it is a structure that exists everywhere under the surface if you go looking for it. When exploring this, stick to retro microcomputer spaces for info and examples to start out. These ran systems very similar to a microcontroller where all of the code was scheduled and threaded on a single root layer. In more modern hardware, kernel space is separate from user space and the abstraction layers critical to scheduling with this separation will make it unnecessarily complicated to understand from a practical and useful perspective.
Overall? Of course.People born today? Of course.Most of us 30-50 year olds here? Probably not.
you are not likely to want to continue past a certain point. With my physical disability from the two SUVs that crashed into me on a bicycle commute to work, I was in a room waiting for a doctor to come in around a decade ago. This guy came in and asked me my name and information to verify my identity. He explained he was the x-ray tech and was sure there must have been a mix up. You see, I did not have any remarkable damage occur in one spot. I had damage occur down the entire length of my spine. The x-ray tech said my images looked exactly like the spine of an eighty year old person but the identity was for a thirty year old.
Most people degrade slowly in health to where it is nearly imperceptible to them. I experienced that change in an instant. I feel every bit as slow and stiff as I see the worst 80-90 year olds shuffling around. I cannot sit upright or stand for more than a few minutes at a time. The rest of me is in great shape, but the constant pain wears the mind down in subtle unspeakable ways. The white noise of pain eventually starts to drown out your thoughts. You will reach a point where you just want to rest, to stop the endurance race. Continuing becomes a cantankerous quarrel against the relentless maledictions of death. Extending that tormentuous race is more symbolic that practical. The part to extent is youth and middle age. Some people like running a double Marathon, and I have nothing against their sport, but for most of us, that type of hell is an unspeakable torture, so be careful what you wish for.
Live a classical Epicurean lifestyle as much as possible, and appreciate the sun rose for you today. It is the only today you will ever have. If you live for tomorrow, your life will pass you by before it ever arrives, and you find yourself living for the lost cause of yesterday.
No. I think transgender people get more than their fair share of a shit show and deserve safe spaces free from any lines in the sand of others. Ultimately no one has a right to project their beliefs onto others.
You have a right to all information sources, a right to skepticism, a right to error, and the right to protest in all nonviolent forms aka the right to offend others. Your rights never include infringing upon the rights of any other.
The idea that others are subject to collective critique is nonsense conjured by religious backwardness. I came from such an upbringing too. That is the toxic nonsense you need to try to purge. The peer pressure, negative feedback loop, and shaming only leads to problems. It is not real ethics or morality. It is a tool to get you to outsource your morality and ethics to a dubious source, and ultimately to have nothing more than a fear of getting caught. It is a system that fails at basic game theory; a negative feedback loop is incapable of producing positive outcomes. You cannot amplify from unity gain or attenuation. So ask yourself, is this a negative feedback loop. If the answer is yes, and you have nothing positive to amplify, then all you are doing is death by a thousand cuts and bleeding someone further. Be a positive force in the world and maybe just maybe you will have positive outcomes too.
The point of pain where your body shuts down is actually not that bad. I could watch myself die no problem. You don't really experience death anyways. Your consciousness exists in user space but your body functions in kernel space. If kernel space dies, you don't even get a memo. It is all kinda shocking and hard to take in when a super traumatic thing happens like breaking your neck back and a bunch of other stuff. It is like you are not part of it. The pain kinda just fades into a noise you barely hear your own thoughts over. I've been damn close to dead, and only barely recall little bits and pieces while missing most of three hours. I've watched people die from far far less severe injuries. They did not see their kernel space fail. So yeah I don't think it matters. Smaller injuries hurt worse most of the time. The really big stuff passes a threshold where pain is kinda irrelevant.
Did you see today's upload from Anton Petrov about the Rice versus Wheat cultures? Reminds me of that for some reason. Beer versus Bread was wacko IMO. It is easy to use leftover bread to make beer anywhere without anything special. They obviously go hand in hand at the grass roots level. Still, beer taming the nomads sounds novel.
