I will die on the hill that XML is a superior config format and people are just afraid of it cause they see the advanced features (that you don’t need to use) and think it’s too complicated.

141·21 days agoIf you are wearing gloves and have touched anything they should be considered dirty. It shouldn’t matter what color they are, either you touched something or you didn’t.
Edit: I like to use black nitrile gloves for food prep like mixing burgers or marinating where I don’t want to have to super duper scrub to make sure my hands /wrists are clean. The second I put them on they are only for touching food until I take them off

Games@sh.itjust.works•Valve wins legal battle against patent troll Rothschild and associated companiesEnglish
21·22 days agoThe fact that you consider it so black and white tells me you aren’t thinking critically. Yes, the patent system can and has been abused over its long life. Literally every legal system has and will be. That’s how it goes. The struggle is how to come up with a system that minimizes the loopholes while not entirely crippling the things they are intended to protect.
Without some protections on human creations you end up with a war of who can steal the most ideas vice who can make the new best thing. You end up putting resources toward protecting your ideas and keeping them entirely secret, which arguably is worse than a public patent everyone can review and be inspired by.
I’m not arguing that they have no downsides, I’m arguing that the position of “it’s all bad, get rid of it” is reductive, at best.

32·22 days agoPatents give an incentive to actually do the R&D for new products and projects? How would you feel if you spent millions of dollars and 15yrs designing a product and then some random dude just buys one, reverse engineers it and undercuts you? It basically disincentivizes anyone from doing any innovation since the game theory would be to just wait for someone else to do it and then take it for your own.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What justifies requiring spiral-bound project reports when the actual work is a live website or repository?
10·24 days agoI feel a paper spiral bound book has a sense of finality to it that digital never will. You can’t half ass a section and be like “I’ll clean this up later.” By committing to a hard copy you are committing to a completed work and not some poorly formatted wiki or markdown page no one wants to read

Brosplosion@lemmy.ziptoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•Audiophiles Can't Distinguish Audio Sent Through Copper, Banana or MudEnglish
71·28 days agoI dunno, reading the article it seems like a flawed experiment? The audio wasn’t played back through those mediums but recorded through it and uploaded to a forum. I might’ve missed what software was used to do the recording but a lot of ADCs have some built in high-pass/low-pass filtering that could remove noise. I’d be interested in the audio played back through them to headphones cause that would sound like shit
God, I love a staycation. Taking time to get the house in order or work on that self project you haven’t had time/energy for is a great boon to my mental health

It’s been longer from now back to the Xbox 360 release as there was from the Xbox 360 release to the NES. Not even the SNES.

And as such you should put alarms on your doors and windows to have extra time.
It’s cause it’s now in almost every single fund / pension as a pseudo blue chip. No one wants to see it drop so it doesn’t. The company doesn’t actually have that value/assets.
Red bell peppers by me are $2.50 each. It’s not just unhealthy food that’s overpriced. Also no clue where you are getting tortillas but I’ve never seen them cheap unless you make them yourself
