By chance, maybe, but I specifically don’t click on “Advertised” links in search results. Even if do, does it matter if I’d chose service anyway? Coz all it changes is money moved from one rich ass to another. It doesn’t make me buy what I didn’t plan to buy. Contrary, I might avoid products which are too pushy with ads. In place where I come from people used to say that good things don’t need advertisement. So to me this ad changes nothing. If tomorrow world stop making ads nothing changes to me - I do search, it gives me options, I do research and make a decision

Is phone book an ad? The fact I bought something does not mean I did it because ad convinced me. When one buys a car presume they check what is available on the market and select option based on comparison. Same with travel, you don’t visit place because you saw poster somewhere, you have limit time so you find a list of popular options and pick what to visit. It’s exactly what you called it - research and review. It’s people rating things helping you make your choices, not companies convincing this is what you want to buy by showing you 10 seconds stupid ass video. Or at least I hope. I never understood the concept of ads beyond informing that this business exists. From my perspective could be just brand name and what it sells. No difference to me. I always thought it would be much better to just have site list of businesses with description and reviews
I typically find those things on the map. Or in specialized apps. Don’t see how it’s ad driven revenue.
Also who is changing barbers every time or moving between cities every few weeks? It’s like once a year thing for most people, isn’t it?

Programming@programming.dev•How would you design parallel grep for huge JSONL files?
1 monthHow large is very large? Would it be something that
jqcan’t do? Is it purely string search or JSON-tree search?Generally you would want to get file size, split it into ranges which can be read as valid UTF-8. Feed each range into reader thread. Can be inefficient for HDDs because each thread will try to access random location on disk forcing needle to jump back and forth. Also you’ll need reread ranges at split point with some positive and negative offset in case desired content got split. Things are getting much more complicated if you want JSON-tree grep. Branches may get split from parent nodes across multiple ranges.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Request to speakers of languages other than English, French and German
2 monthsYes, literally says
please (будь ласка) stack (складіть) chairs (стільці) at the end (наприкінці) of the day (дня)
Ukrainian, like many slavic languages, has no articles and uses grammatical cases

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Request to speakers of languages other than English, French and German
2 monthsIf Cyrillic is fine you can say in Ukrainian “Будь ласка складіть стільці наприкінці дня”. I’ll transliterate with polish spelling as it’s closest sounding language I know, not perfect but best I can do: “bud laska skladit stilci naprykici dnia”
As a teenager I was the only person in the house who understands computers. Naturally I was the admin. All this computer “jailing” is so insane to me.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•It might be a good thing for the Internet to get intrinsic resistance to DDoS attacksEnglish
2 monthsMy networking knowledge is not good, so maybe it’s nonsense indeed. I just thought if everyone in the network knows what is blocked then DDoS protection could be distributed because every “reputable” switch/router in the network can block connection as early as possible without hopping close to destination creating unnecessary traffic

2 monthsI’m wondering can DNS be extended to handle blacklisting. It already has some level of security resolving “C should have no control over A and B communication”.
I think those are symptoms of more general trend - IT is not a tool to make people’s lives easier or fun anymore. Until last 5 years all my projects were about making things possible or automating tedious manual tasks. Now, for almost all use cases there is some solution or components you (or AI) can slap together to build a solution. Today it’s all about cutting costs and increasing margins. There is nothing fun or creative in this job, all feedback you get is lower numbers on dashboard. Budgets are squeezed to make more profit, so there is no time to get bored and improve things around you.
Look, in my IT company, I have to track my time in 3 different system and no-one cares because there is no ROI in automating it. That should tell you in which state IT is

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Under British and UK Legislation anyone using or developing end-to-end encryption is now a “hostile actor”
3 monthsI don’t get it. E2ee is about encryption in transit not encryption at rest. TLS sounds exactly like e2ee
Check out koofr it is privacy focused, GDPR compliant and has 10Gb free-forever plan
Last time I checked, you can use GPS without carrier. GPS, and GNSS in general, is separate set of satellites. With cellular It’s just more precise since initial triangulation facilitated by cell towers. I recently was mid 5 hours flight and was able to see my location in google maps despite being in flight mode
Yaml is dogshit format. If you need tree-like structure use json if you need list of props use toml or simple key value pairs. I fucking hate app properties in yaml.
- can’t search shit
- copy-paste doesn’t “just work” when you want to merge two files
- your editor doesn’t show whitespaces and you messed up somewhere - valid but incorrect
- messed up formatting your list of banned IPs/hosts/ports/users/subnets/commands - get pwned
It should’ve never left the basement of crackhead who thought “let’s make schema-less format depend on number of invisible characters”.
I’ll rather save my data in Copybook and record it on tape then use this Python-bastardized abomination

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night
4 monthsWell, I hope you are sleeping. So technically your day starts at <put whatever time you’re getting up>.
0th hour should start at 6 AM or something. But I better stop thinking about how dumb clocks and calendars are

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night
4 monthsYou are trolling, right? Like, majority are using 24h.
Disclaimer: generalizations from personal experience.
Some nations use 12h with “at the morning” or “in the evening” in casual verbal conversations. In formal conversations it’s always 24h clock. Just yesterday I was booking an appointment at reception and they proposed me 14:45, so 24h clock, even though it is obvious that place is closed at 2:45 AM. But AFAIK some don’t use 12h even in casual speech, like Germans. Maybe Germans can confirm here.
I think it’s language thing, I never heard of “AM/PM” in language other than English. If you want to tell time in 12h clock it’s usually period of the day, like “2, at night”, “6 in the morning”, “10 in the evening”, which is much more cumbersome than just 2, 6, 22. And imagine it in writing.

- This indeed sucks if you came just for loot but it leads to different experiences, once you realize there is no loot you can PvP, PvE or simply exfil and try again, that’s the beauty of extraction shooters
- Agree, they need to fix pops spawn
- Kinda agree, can’t say exfil camping is a big issue. The only badly designed exit is metro in the city
- Seeds is something you get for each round from Scrappy regardless of win/loose so that you can buy basic crafting materials from Celest regardless of how good/lucky you are
- Movement is not perfect but better than in any other extraction shooters I played. Stones are always problem, only Battlefield have them better. But overall it’s ok.
- No it’s not. I had few disconnects and was able to rejoin the match with 0 loss
Lights or rather lack of them is bigger issue for me. Rats sitting in dark corners with shotguns is almost always death sentence. I understand the realism but I can’t see shit in buildings. That’s why I stopped playing Buried City.
I wish it was 1st person shooter.
I think devs realized that they can’t pull off a good story with PvE so they added PvP. Someone didn’t get what they expected, others (like me) got what they wanted.









Scrappy created exactly for this use case. I used to work in project for product info scraping when LLMs didn’t exist. So you don’t really have to use LLM. It’s usually semi-structured data. Your biggest pain will likely be SPAs with JS which need to run in order to load content. If you need to render SPAs check Selenium web driver or similar
