How do you simulate something you don't understand?

The basic problem here is that we don't understand what a neuron does, so how would we model it?

I loved Star Castle.

Generally, Mastodon supports at least a subset of Markdown syntax.

Putting text in asterisks for example, will render it in italics.

There's no reason why the various SM platforms can't do this.

That's fewer opcodes than a 6502 or Z80 microprocessor.

Swing is still nice to use, especially with the GUI Builder on NetBeans.

Not quite as easy as say, VB6, but good enough.

One of these days, I want to try building some sort of GUI app using Swing again and build a native image with Graal.

> I would gladly add explicit types everywhere instead of this to use Crystal

Agreed. Good IDE support can easily add explicit types too.

I wish Crystal had better IDE support, otherwise it’s just about perfect.

And I'm telling you, that the statistics are completely irrelevant.

I understand what you're getting at here, but this misses the point. If people are used to a decent quality of life, and that quality of life declines, they're going to be miserable. It doesn't matter what other countries are like.

It's really in the same vein of "clean your plate because there are people starving who'd love to be in your shoes", which has never been a good argument.

More importantly, if a lot of people are miserable, especially if they think some other group of people is the reason, it's going to cause civil unrest. Right now, the billionaires have been successful at tricking people into thinking it's immigrants or some other group, but that won't always be the case.

Sure, but why should anyone have to?

Rust#

Ada has a more traditional syntax compared to Rust, for good or for bad.

Why? I use it in VSCode and vim all the time.

The place I used to work at had a "architect" who would for any question to a decision he made would refer to whatever it was as a "best practice."

Was often quite wrong and always infuriating.

and no error will really cost them that much, anyway.

A long time ago, I used NetBeans for everything, including Ruby.

At some point, the Ruby plugin was killed off though. Anyone know if they brought it back?

Or just using those kernel APIs, period.

I honestly can't imagine paying for reddit. Especially when just being part of reddit creates the content they're hoping to sell.

Is his name Jonah?

And companies will then force you to watch ads while you sleep. No thanks.

This is magical thinking.

the omnipascal extension for vscode works pretty well.

Isn't that what masto.host does anyway?

There's no way on earth Apple will move from the M series to RISC-V.

The great thing about an SLR is that you can use it on AF 95% of the time and then use it on manual when you need it.

I hope that's the case. It almost read like someone trying to still believe in God right after their mom died.

Absolutely... Sometimes, it's ok to just have a job that you do. You don't always have to be moving up some ladder.

I assume this whole thing is Linux based? (Not that Linux is bad, just it does take a bit of time to boot.)

I've not seen this at all, and I use both Ubuntu and macOS for Java dev.
