Its not just awful mods, its awful paid admins. It was a step in the right direction to ban hate speech. The people they hired have decided that being mean to racists is “hate spee…

looks like openai isn’t letting people build chat bots anymore, or are deciding what kind are allowed with no notice.

This just sounds like punishing people, not incentivizing. People just want to see others punished, they would never want to use such a system themselves.

Reddit hired more paid moderators, to whom being mean to racists and other people they like is “hate speech” while actual racists and nazis run amok being shitty to actual protecte…

This was my experience too. I got banned from my city’s subreddit for the stated reason “don’t move here” and then harassed across several local subreddits. Paid reddit admins dete…

What can anybody do about it?

It sounds like this would work for beginners or certain people who know rust and not C. A new firmware language could never be widely adopted if it is not made for the career firmw…

The first problem with doing this in arduino is that the pwm is interrupt based. So that limits the frequency. There is a tone library that can generate a pwm for a specific tone, …

These problems that embedded rust is trying to solve are not a big deal. In C you try to minimize what happens in any interrupt, usually just set a flag, save a result, and return.…

You will want to code on the avr directly. The problem with audio processing on arduino is that there is a 1ms system tick that is higher priority than user code. It causes audio s…

What is limiting about being able to step thru each instruction?

Politics means "everything that affects society" so how can a company like google ignore "everything that affects society?"

Nobody knows how to do this anymore. About half the projects I got when I freelanced were projects that were finished but "just needed" a boot loader.

If things have gotten cheaper, why does everything in a 1917 sears catalog, adjusted for inflation, look so inexpensive? Solid metal tools used to cost less than the modern walmart…

This article made my chrome tab use 8gb ram and slowed down my computer. They're doing client side bitcoin mining or something.

Someone should start a college with only a few administrators and simple buildings. It could cost at least 1/4th of what it costs now.

Nobody has ever asked to see my degree or if I have one. They only care what I can do and how much it will cost. I looked into taking a few classes but saw that tuition has quadrup…

When I was in school textbooks weren't expensive and they did get destroyed by little future criminals.

If anyone were seriously developing an educational app they would make it browser based so any computer could access it.

Schools would have to solve bullying before they can give kids computers. How many tablets get smashed on purpose by shitty children?

What I really need is windows 10. Can a hackintosh run parallels with windows 10 ok?

The study said it considered "all other risks" but did they really factor in all the cyclists who get murdered by drivers?

Some laptops have a built in battery along with a swappable battery. The battery life people could get one of these and get enough spare batteries to smoke the mac several times ov…

I canceled my youtube red over this. They've blacklisted channels that are specifically against racism because of some channels that support racism. They don't want to offend racis…
