I can definitely respect a limited approach. I personally don't find any benefit from it. Anecdotally, I've become much more productive since switching from OOP style C++, to just straight C. I think a lot of that comes from the boilerplate and ceremony required to make it do the thing, but in C, you just do the thing.
I also think even using objects tends to encourage poorer design choices by thinking in terms of individual items (and their lifetimes) which is enforced by the constructor/destructor model. As opposed to thinking in terms of groups of items which leads to simpler and safer code.
They are very similar in that, even if there comments point out the obvious flaws in the information, they will never correct the record. Because they never gave a shit in the first place.
You're not wrong, but I haven't seen these channels actively policing their comments. They're just pushing garbage and playing the algorithm.
These political hacks are actively malicious because logic and reasoning goes against their brand.
It doesn't seem to be as well known, but YouTube is one of the biggest distributors of blatant disinformation, and they have done fuck all about it. There are so many individual right wing disinformation channels that wield so much more power than they should. It's so fuckin insidious. Seriously, go find one of the alt-right YouTube accounts, and just look at the comments. Not a single one will be negative. They literally police their comments, and the only thing left is sycophantic bullshit like "thank you for exposing the truth!" It's actually disgusting. Every YouTuber can essentially build their very own echo chamber, and they do.
I know YouTube comments should generally be ignored, but when you see something that is intentionally, blatantly misleading, a single sentence comment could be all that is required to pierce the veil. It's axiomatic at this point that their bullshit doesn't stand up against even surface level scrutiny.
Google could combat this with little to no effort. Put a flag next the username. Display the number of manually deleted comments. Done. But they won't. Fuck youtube. Fuck Google. They are perfectly happy to lead the charge into fascism.
Oh that's a good one. I had a coal stove that had an idle timer (mechanical clock) to keep the fire going when the thermostat wasn't calling for heat. It stopped working and the factory said they don't make them anymore, but I could special order a thirty party replacement for $250. I replaced it with an Arduino, a relay shield and a 20 line program for < $10. If I was more electrically inclined, I could have powered it from the stove's power. Instead, there is a USB cord sticking out the back =]
Does it get hot at all? The heating element is just a coil of metal that can break. They can break easily if you put clothes in it that are too wet (like dripping). Once it breaks, it severs the current, so no heat. There should also be a fuse right next to it. These are all simple continuity checks if you have a meter.
I've done similar to a part on my dryer's control board, and a GPU's vram. In both cases, there was no diagnostic needed because the part showed some kind of physical damage. You would be surprised how often things can be fixed for 1% the cost of replacing.
You got it correct there. If it's junk, open it up, and take a look. It might be obvious. Given the rising cost of stuff like GPUs, this could become more relevant.
Maybe, we should flood the virtual streets as well? I'm sure the tech bros are providing support here. Flood these idiots with AI bullshit too. Make it unreliable to use such tactics.
Anyone who says "reach across the isle" in the primary is an automatic no. These people are not interested in governing. They are openly hostile.
We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear's work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.
