  • For those who have tried MBin, is it a good Lemmy alternative?

    Jump

  • but the guy who was mostly responsible for it is a bit of a twat and mostly used it to pimp Monero

    Oh damn, I missed that bit if fedi drama. Is there a writeup of what happened anywhere?

  • TIL about the "Apocalypse Early Warning System"

    All that time adventuring has made him... [INVINCIBLE]

  • Python String Formatting: f-strings vs .format() vs %

    Jump

  • Go mainly. fmt has some functions to do the same sort of formatting but I loved the minimal syntax in Python. JavaScript has a really nice syntax for it as well actually

  • GameStop makes $55.5bn takeover offer for eBay

    Jump

  • I'm so happy Ryan found Canada "too woke" and sold GameStop's Canadian branch. Only good thing he's done because now it's rebranded back to the proper EB Games name and owned by Canadians

  • Utah first state to hold websites liable for users who mask their location with VPNs — law goes into effect, designed to prevent bypassing age checks

    Jump

  • Why is a company or person that doesn’t exist physically in Utah at all responsible for adhering to Utah’s laws?

    This line of thinking is dangerous as it allows companies to disregard any sane legislation as long as their servers are located in a "safe" place. A large portion of websites accessible from Canada are served from US servers, for example. American companies ignoring Canadian laws because they don't have Canadian-based servers would be a nightmare

    If a company makes any money off users in a geographic area (which includes ad view revenue), they have to follow the rules there which is a GOOD thing - even if it's ridiculous in this case

    Also endorsing governments selectively blocking websites is just bad for obvious reasons

  • It's a rule enforced by r/ProgrammingHumor so it could either be carrying on that tradition or scripted reposting from that subreddit

    cppIsntMuchFaster

    Jump

  • I think it really depends on the work the program does and how effectively it uses caching, concurrency, etc. Something like data serialisation would probably be a lot slower in Python compared to something like handling simple UI event triggers which might only have that 0.001 difference

  • Tesla starts selling Chinese-made Model 3s in Canada at the EV's lowest price ever

    Jump

  • We're importing Chinese EVs so even the Maple MAGAs will hold off unless they're a truly list cause

    Also like the other reply said, most of us are boycotting anything American already anyway

  • FCC votes to ban all Chinese labs from certifying electronics sold in the US due to national security concerns — ruling would affect 75 percent of US-bound devices

    Jump

  • Hey maybe computer components will cost a sane amount in the sane rest of the west

  • The current state of ps2 emulation is genuinely amazing.

    Jump

  • Absolutely! You can't ever underestimate passionate open source devs haha

  • The current state of ps2 emulation is genuinely amazing.

    Jump

  • I did oversimplify it a bit and it is indeed per-game. The rpcs3 devs did recreate all of the basics like user accounts and trophies but playing DS online required connecting to a custom server that was a separate project

  • The current state of ps2 emulation is genuinely amazing.

    Jump

  • PS3 emulation is crazy good as well and even PS4 emulation is getting there! It's so crazy to me that the rpcs3 devs reverse engineered and rebuilt the PSN network to the point of allowing me to play through Demon's Souls as if it was still online

  • Just watched DJANGO UNCHAINED got me wondering did they use the N word back then? Or how far back does the N word go? When was it attached to black people?

    Jump

  • Weirdly it is on Lemmy.ca though. This is what I see in Voyager

  • Python String Formatting: f-strings vs .format() vs %

    Jump

  • F-strings and .format() are two features I miss from Python whenever I'm writing stuff in another language. The syntax is just so minimal yet powerful

  • US withdrawing 5,000 troops from Germany, US officials say

    Jump

  • Just say what you want man

    Jump

  • I actually think I'd prefer this over the false positivity

  • Some people so used to very high refresh rates... seem like they're panicking when the framerate drops below 60 fps.

    Jump

  • 100%, I can get used to Bloodborne at 30fps but I'm never happy with it. It's painfully noticeable when trying to react to attacks where split seconds matter
