Limited liability

“Knows”

Too much credibility to the backend devs out there. “CSS is too hard to remember” is why things like tailwind are more popular than they deserve.

Elixir and Clojure are awesome languages and don’t need no types. Elixir is getting them though, so you weird static type absolutists can finally look at it soon. I even use Haskell and OCaml and Rust which has stricter types than the languages y’all write in and I never complain about the lack of types in languages.

I’m the guy on the right, typescript devs are in the middle

This comment makes it worth it tho

Google results are dog trash. Bing results are dog trash.

It’s gonna stay free forever, you’re totally not externalizing those costs to someone else. You can’t break the laws of thermodynamics

You know what they say about when you don’t pay for a service…

Music would be gone forever lol

Gigabytes of L3 cache when

They aren’t, thankfully

Damn why doesn’t git just use sql instead of Merkle trees I guess that’s just stupid tell Linus to get to using SQLite asap!!!

But no, you’re wrong. Cryptographically verifiable merkle trees are a valuable way to store changing data. Unlike your recommendations, they don’t satisfy the needs of verification, which is literally a great use-case for ssns. Now I’ll admit that the SSN db doesn’t need to be distributed, which is the only thing a blockchain adds to that equation. But you are just flat out wrong for suggesting a sql db 😂

That’s because it’s using a language you don’t speak.

I love Esperanto, so to me forgejo is very cool

iirc valve uses Akamai. They might even be responsible for all game storage. It’s a stretch but they might have had some input but that’s just me trying to be big brain

Wrong, it was 4

Okay but partial application of curried functions is a really cool way of doing dependency injection and you haven’t experienced bliss until you create a perfect module of functions that are exactly that

Also languages with macros and custom operators (where operators are just functions with special syntactic sugar) are so much cooler than those without (Clojure and elixir my beloved)

Additionally a system where illegal states are made impossible is soooo nice to work in. It’s like a cheat code

Not really, it’s just good practice. You write your application in layers, and the outer layer/boundary is where you want your side effects and that outer layer takes the crazy effectful world and turns it sane with nice data types and type classes and whatnot and then your inner layers operate on that. Data goes down the layers then back up, at least in my experience with functional projects in OCaml, F#, Clojure, and Haskell.

The real sauce is immutability by default/hard-to-do mutation. I love refs in OCaml and Clojure, so much better than mutation. Most of the benefits of FP are that and algebraic data types, in that order imo.

I know but that’s literally the only thing I can think of other than a coin flip lol

My only advise is to say the top one likely has the mine, based just on probability of that row only having one mine vs the bottom having three.

Gonna be honest, never used ffmpeg for images lol. I often take images from PDFs that have transparency (rpg books to import into my vtt) and they come out of pdfimages with an opaque greyscale alpha mask and an opaque image. I found it easy to apply the mask with imagemagick, though. Ffmpeg can probably do it but just never had a use case. I just use cwebp to convert because that’s my primary use-case: converting pngs to lossy webp files and cwebp is good enough for me for that:)

Im recommending them to anyone who wants free software and is willing to invest their time into understanding how to do things for free and without concern over their data. If you aren’t willing to invest the necessary time it isn’t for you and that’s why I said it. It’s okay if these don’t work for you. That’s valid. But it does, in fact, work for many others who are not you.

I mentioned the manual because you claimed you didn’t know what the commands do. If you read and take the time to learn the manual like you said you can do, you will, in fact, understand how the commands work. Additionally, this is public forum, my post may have been a reply to you but I understand other people may read my comment. Other people may have your frustrations but are not aware of the manuals that tell them exactly how the commands work. It only takes a bit of elbow grease, perhaps people other than you are willing to apply it?

I’m not sure if you saw it, but I did mention a gui application for converting files. I admit, I don’t use it, but many people also save a lot of money using it, so it might be helpful. I have no idea if it’s useful for your needs though.

Here’s “ffmpeg in 100 seconds” https://youtu.be/26Mayv5JPz0

Here’s a video on ffmpeg and imagemagick: https://youtu.be/sKBM4M-kuCg

Additionally, you can just learn how to read man pages: https://itsfoss.com/linux-man-page-guide/

There’s a neat little guide that’ll help you learn how to read documentation.

Once you’ve read through that let me know what confuses you about documentation.
