Yeah, the new pipeline is based HEAVILY on object inheritance and method/property calls so there is a paper trail for ALL of it. Also using Abstract Base Classes so future developers are forced to adhere to the architecture. It has to be in Python, but I am also trying to use the type hinting as much as humanly possible to force things into something resembling a typed codebase.
I literally told my boss that I was just going to rebuild the entire pipeline from the ground up when I took over the codebase. The legacy code is a massive pile of patchwork spaghetti that takes days just to track down where things are happening because someone, in their infinite wisdom, decided to just pass a dictionary around and add/remove shit from it so there is no actual way to find where or when anything is done.

0·2 months agoThe MPAA has been a rather corrupt organization for a very long time. They don’t even bother following their own standards. They also exercise leverage over film content. Many movies live or die by their rating, so “parent’s” groups often lobby them or find their way onto the various boards to exert their will and censor content.

2·3 months agoThank you kind lexical hero.
You dont have to since the set of all positive integers belongs to the set of all real numbers, you actually hit both tracks by just taking the lower track.
Hope things get better man, or whatevet idiot manager you have gets caught with his hand in the boss’s daughter’s cookie jar.
The Bhor’s model is at least a useful simplification of the atomic structure. What needs taught is that everything you learn before college and intensive narrow topical courses is simplified to the point of being incorrect with the hope that you get enough of an intrinsic understanding of the concept that the less simplified explanation you get next will make sense. I say this because it will still be simplified to the point of being wrong, but will be a step closer to the truth. This is the essence of education.
- Elementary/middle school: ice is water that has frozen solid
- HS: ice is water that has lost enough energy that the molecules form a crystalline lattice.
- College: there are actually 19 or 20 kinds of water ice that have been verified, but as many as 74,963 might exist.
- Post-collegiate: There may be 74,963 kinds of ice, but I know one ICE we should definitely eliminate from this world.

3·3 months agoYes. This is an artifact of a destigmatization coupled with better diagnostics for evaluating ASD. More people aren’t autistic, more people are being diagnosed and receiving counseling for coping with the neurldivergence in a cold and uncaring neurotypical world.

4·3 months agoThe word copulate has been around since the late 1400’s (before the colonization of North America by Europe) and Old English had the word hǽmed which dates back to the middle ages.
You are confusing euphemism with language and applying puritanical systemic manipulation to language. That is censorship and it does not mean that the words don’t exist in the language. Whole different can of worms.
Yes, it has been proven that language and having words to describe things changes the way the brain processes things. There are languages without a word to describe the color Blue, and in fact the people who speak that language struggle to differentiate it from green when tested. Once teaching them a language which includes a word for the color, eventually their brain begins to be able to differentiate it. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20180419-the-words-that-change-the-colours-we-see

Games@lemmy.world•'An embarrassing failure of the US patent system': Videogame IP lawyer says Nintendo's latest patents on Pokémon mechanics 'should not have happened, full stop'English
1·3 months agoI have a real issue here too. Though mine more centers around the purchase of IP to bury it because it would be competition. How many amazing creations that would benefit humanity and make all of our lives more livable are buried in archives at these big corpos?
This is what I would like to see fixed, in the most aggressive way possible. I want a clock on the ownership to bring a product to market based on the purchased patant and if that clock runs out, ownership reverts back to the creator.
There is a species of fungus that parasitically infects ants and after killing them zombie puppets their bodies to the tops of trees so they can sprout and spore to give them the best spread possible on their spores.
Yes, yes, but we live in this timeline so the research that will be done into the mediating factors will 100% become a “breast enlargement therapy” in health spas should it even remotely be found to be repeatable, controllable and safe be damned.
I made this comment on a previous post. Vibe Coding is to Coding as Previsualization (Previs is to Visual Effects. (Previs description) A quick slap job that is used to make sure timing is correct, on set assets will all work, and to communicate to artists, directors, producers, and on-set operators what is expected. It is entirely separate from the final product and nothing ever crosses the barrier between Preproduction and Production.
I have seen like 2 movies where the hacker just ran a script and danced around the room until the progress bar got to the top, then he hit a couple inputs and ran another script and went back to dancing. It was so surreal to see something so much closer to real than the feverish hammering in a keyboard.
God, I literally cannot choose. That list is probably my perfect list of scientific figures in history. Aside from Edison, he can burn in hell.
The only ones I might add would be Goodenough and Gauss.

Games@lemmy.world•Steam: Updates to User Review Scores Based on LanguageEnglish
6·4 months agoI kinda hope they also weight reviews based in hours in the game. If ten people with 1000 hours I’m a fame recommend and 1000 people with <10 hours don’t recommend, I really hope the score is better than 50%.

1·4 months agoI don’t seem to have this problem as much. That said, I didn’t on Reddit either. Maybe it is because my feeds are mostly science, weird maps, and things discovered on lemmy.nsfw.




No idea why I am getting down voted. Helion’s tech is a great alternative to steam for generating electricity from fusion reactions.
