  • Bill Maher Torches Trump Over ICE Shooting Of Renee Good: ‘This Was an Execution in the Street!’

    Jump

  • Fuck Bill Maher. He is one of the reasons the current administration is in power in the first place. Not going to pretend he's anything but complicit after 30 years of both sidesing and platforming extremists.

  • The lost art of XML — mmagueta

    Jump

  • That capability is what enables billion laugh attacks, unfortunately, so not having it enabled in cases where there is external input possible is wise

  • In HTML, which things are attributes and which things are tags are part of the spec. With XML that is being used for something arbitrary, someone is making the choice every time. They might have a different opinion than you do, or even the same opinion, but make different judgments on occasion. In JSON, there are fewer choices, so fewer chances for people to be surprised by other people's choices.

  • That's correct, but the order of tags in XML is not meaningful, and if you parse then write that, it can change order according to the spec. Hence, what you put would be something like the following if it was intended to represent an array.

     xml
        
<items>
  <item index="1"></item>
  <item index="2"></item>
  <item index="3"></item>
</items>

  • Honestly, anyone pining for all the features of XML probably didn't live through the time when XML was used for everything. It was actually a fucking nightmare to account for the existence of all those features because the fact they existed meant someone could use them and feed them into your system. They were also the source of a lot of security flaws.

    This article looks like it was written by someone that wasn't there, and they're calling people telling them the truth that they are liars because they think features they found in w3c schools look cool.

  • JSON also has arrays. In XML the practice to approximate arrays is to put the index as an attribute. It's incredibly gross.

  • It do be like that

  • I'm not even sure if you can install without an MS account if you don't use Rufus anymore. Rufus requires literacy for sure, and even if you can still do it without it is designed to make it impossible to know you can from within the installer itself.

  • It do be like that

  • I use vscode (or codium when not at work) these days because it's a one stop shop for every language and every feature I could ever need is possible with a plugin. I have used visual studio, intelliJ and others in the past, and i fail to see the distinction from a usage perspective

  • It do be like that

  • But then if you put enough bells and whistles on text editors, do they become an ide?

    Yes

  • I would call vscode(ium) an IDE

  • Google won’t stop replacing our news headlines with terrible AI | It now says AI headlines are a ‘feature,’ not an experiment.

  • Every time I say this to someone offline, they act like it's literally impossible. It's so frustrating

  • Maybe VR Doesn’t Need Meta After All

    Jump

  • I'll probably get a steam frame as my first VR set. I tried out the Samsung one where you put your phone in it ages ago and thought "at some point this will be mature enough I want one". That point probably would have happened already, but I had 0 interest in being forced into Facebook ecosystem.

  • FreeBSD is a No-Go for KDE's Plasma Login Manager

    Jump

  • You can keep using sddm. It isn't being discontinued. In fact you can use any login manager you want. Plasma is not going to enforce one.

    I personally am happy about the new plasma login manager, because it will allow features they couldn't reasonably implement with sddm.

    The people upset about this is a classic case of getting upset about things that won't affect them at all.

  • With all this talk about Ai not being profitable why aren't we using it in video games? I dont mean replacing developers I mean in NPCs in the game. I make them more realistic.

    Jump

  • Why would "all this talk of AI not being profitable" be what triggers discussion about LLM use in games? I would think making games fun and interesting should be what triggers any discussion about using anything in games. Are you Satya Nadella trying to find some way to make LLMs profitable? All this ignores that people have actually been talking about exactly what you described for 2 years already.
