A Short History of Ireland by John Gibney
Paying a visit to Ireland and wanted to learn some of the history. It's a good book but definitely wish it included pre-1500s history, since it is a more Britain-centric view of Ireland, really. Starts when Britain really gets to colonizing
If it's broken then why no issue being tracked? Is there any issue tracking at all or is it genuinely all through Discord?
I would really recommend using GitHub's features whenever possible, especially for important information like the status of the Android build. Very few people are keen to join a Discord group to find the status of your code or instructions
The whole thing looks suspicious to me - there are no images of the game, broken English everywhere, tons of contributors but only one open issue. The repo is just odd in a lot of ways and is sending out bad vibes.
Also, the Android instructions make no sense, since there's no APK in the releases. Unless they somehow bundle that in the source code or Linux zip.

Didn't he cheat on his wife and get caught as well?
When I was younger I fell for two - baggy jeans and llamas.
I remember in 5th grade I tried to joke about llamas with one kid and show him the llama song (because he loved llamas) and he said I was just copying him. In hindsight fuck you Hans, you didn't invent llamas, you were just copying others too, you tool!
Baggy pants were regrettable too...
Got one after the craze had died down and they're surprisingly fun - just a good quality desk toy
Kind of wild that in the face of competition from Discord they double down on their paid plans. I would have thought they would eventually improve their free offerings to compete for market share, but clearly they have no interest in supporting hobby groups and just want to focus on enterprise
This is excellent advice, thank you! I especially appreciate the video, and I hadn't even thought about framerates varying - very good to remember.
I'll look into cleaning the VCR soon. I got if off of Ebay so the odds the person selling cleaned it is 20/60, so definitely worth a shot.
Got any advice for audio that's particularly noisy, or would that be resolved by cleaning the heads
I got an Elgato capture card and a VCR off of EBay and have already digitized three tapes I've found at garage sales.
Any advice for cleaning up the image and audio? I recall there were VCR cleaners but never was confident of their efficacy.
How does that make sense? How does putting a "Download PDF" button on their site with no restrictions make this a "me" problem?
Excellent point - the fact that he is still cashing in on a (bad) book written in the 90's is absolutely wacky
Shout out to Rich Dad Poor Dad which has never made anyone Roch in the history of its printing.
They definitely weren't monitoring the one at a time rule... I downloaded the file and now have it forever
I was looking for resources for a custom LLM and noticed they had a ton of copyrighted books and wondered to myself how the heck that was legal
I guess this answers that
I like to picture just a constant purring sound
I have a four, but most are from instances I've moved away from.
Started on Beehaw but when they started defederating from everyone I made a programming.dev account.
Also created a personal instance, but it was too heavy for my NAS to be worth it.
Finally, an Mbin account recently because the communism stuff from the main developers seems to be pretty contentious right now and I want to explore alternatives while I'm still happy with Lemmy. If some "event" happens and I find the need to move somewhere else its good to have an alternative in the pocket
I'm going to rant here because your comment re-ignited my rage.
My family and I have weekly dinners. I drive over there and pass through their neighborhood. They own a successful business so it's a pretty nice neighborhood with a good median of trees down the main road passing through (still a 25 MPH speed limit). And every week for several years now, there is a discarded Pepsi can in the median. Not the same can, but a new can every week. Someone drives through there, likely multiple times a week and I'm just not there to see it,, and throws a Pepsi can in roughly the same spot.
It enrages me. It's so senseless and selfish that I cannot even fathom a reason. My best justification is that they're a person who is "sticking it to the rich" by littering in a nice neighborhood, but that's being extremely generous. I am convinced it's purposeful because the consistency is staggering. A new can in the same 100 feet of road, every day.
And I know it's not the same can because if it snows, the snow obscures the cans and the poor hero picking them up can't see them, so when the snow melts there are several cans littered about.
It genuinely makes me so angry, because it's so inexplicably terrible. I just hate things I can't understand. It makes me more angry than Donald Trump because at least with Trump, on some level I get it. I may hate what he's doing but I can logically see why he's doing it and that understanding is almost calming, in a sense.
But this? Absolute nonsense. I just cannot see why someone would do this
I have concerns about the success of this platform. I am convinced what makes TikTok great isn't necessarily the algorithm (its good, no doubt) but the volume of content. There are so many users producing content that the amount of content you find enjoyable is always more than you could scroll through in a day.
A platform like this will be boring pretty fast when you scroll through the 100 new videos uploaded that day in an single hour, and you skip many of them. It's tough to generate enough content without enough users, and most of the content will likely just be aggregated from the other short-form sites. Of course that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's a more privacy-friendly way to browse that content, which is a plus.
Also, not particularly a fan of more brain-rotting short form content. It's crazy how addictive it is and I'm wanting less, not more. But if I had to choose a "shorts" platform I'd sure like a federated, free one to be the one to succeed. But it's got a long way to go
I want to become a more knowledgeable gardener, and besides research and studying, I think a fun way to enhance my knowledge would be a fun gardening game. Are there any that are particularly accurate or relaxing?
Garden Life looks pretty chill but maybe not challenging or accurate to reality.
And to clarify, by accurate I mean you need to plant in correct lighting, water an appropriate amount, and fertilize to optimize for stems, flowers, fruits, etc.. Bonus points for having the option to pick your planting zone!
Hey all, I've created a catio (cat patio) for my two cats in a window well next to my desk. They absolutely love it, but I would like to make it even better for them by using real grass. Currently, I have a pretty good artificial grass in there that they love to lay in and stays green year 'round, which is fine enough. But I would really love to give them some real grass (or moss) to lay on and maybe even munch on.
So, with that backstory, I would love to find a grass that has the following traits.
- Comfortable and safe for cats (both internally and externally)
- Stays relatively short since I can't exactly get a lawn mower
- Doesn't require a lot of sun
It would also be a bonus if it were okay with more arid climates, because I would prefer to minimize watering as much as possible.
My mind goes to something like Spanish Moss since it stays relatively short and is pretty comfy, but I'm not sure if that's the best option, so I wanted to ask people more experience than me.
Picture of the window well in its current state and one of its occupants for reference below.
And for anyone concerned, the well is closed in with a grate and some chicken wire so they can't slip out. They are not outdoor cats, but we do take them out on harnesses for walks. They are treated for pests like tics and mites as a precaution.
Thanks anyone who answers!
Reached 30 and the wheels started falling off. Gained 20 pounds and back pain out of nowhere, it's like a damn sitcom. I feel uncomfortable in clothes I've worn for a decade so its time to put in effort. Better late than never I guess.
I want advice on good beginner resources. I'm talking really beginner, like how many reps to do, how long between reps, what machines to hit, etc. I've been to gyms before but just kinda rode the reclined bike them made shit up when I got to the weight machines. I also am terrible at not doing too much with my back, which is almost certainly where my back pain originates from, so extra instruction on how to properly engage my core is a bonus.
The one advantage I have is that I'm very good at tracking calories. I've just gotten lazy since Covid. So I've downloaded MacroFactor to try out some new technology. I've used Waistline recently but it's just too cumbersome to add food, and I lose motivation.
Appreciate the help in advance!
P.S. the one upside to turning 30 is that I can grow a beard now. So at least I've got that going for me
Around two years ago I was on a really small team, just two or three developers, and the other developer decided they wanted us to use Rider. Because I didn't have a preference, I used Rider and rather enjoyed it. However, that developer has since moved teams and now it is just me (for the time being).
So I was considering moving back to Visual Studio or even switching to Visual Studio Code, but I wanted to see some arguments against this.
Here is my list so far, but it's probably out of date since I haven't used Visual Studio in a long time.
Pros of Rider:
- Much faster than using ReSharper
- Less sharp interface with a better font
- I'm used to it at this point
- I have a Nyan cat loading bar which is kind of fun
Cons of Rider:
- Enterprise license is expensive (probably)
- New versions of C# aren't immediately supported
- Refactorings are becoming less necessary with the rise of AI assistants
- Don't really like their source control manager
Wanted to hear what other users think. What keeps you using Rider?
The Praying to the Gods achievement requires you to kill the fanatic 10 times "without drinking any potion which restores prayer" and without leaving the wilderness. Simple solution is to pray on the nearby Chaos Altar or to take the obelisk down to a less busy altar near Ferox.
However, do you think the spaghetti code takes into account Stat Restore Pot Share or butterflies? Could you cheese this one with a friend?
I would recommend everyone try this. Just sit down, bend your knees, throw a blanket over, and show them the entrance. Just be warned they will not leave unless you make them
My favorite way to develop applications is microservices, or at least smaller services that can separate concerns a little bit. In our current application, there is an API we've created with an OAS document and an auto-generated .NET SDK based on the document. We then have a web console that makes calls to the backend API using the SDK and, ideally, customers would also use the SDK.
So my question to everyone is: what is the best "flow" to develop a NuGet package?
Currently, we have pipelines which publish the NuGet package of the SDK to our internal NuGet repository on every commit within a merge request. We have a manually incrementing semver with an additional build number tacked on (for example 1.2.3+abc123).
Now this works pretty well, but we often run into problems where a tester's NuGet doesn't pull down the latest version based on the build number if it detects it has the proper semver number. For example, if we create 1.2.3+abc456 NuGet won't pull down this version as long as it has the original 1.2.3+abc123 in its .nuget/packages directory. Testers and developers have to manually delete the version from the packages directory and do a fresh restore.
So, is there a better way to do build numbers? Or should I be deleting the NuGet package from the private repository every time (doesn't sound ideal...)?
The other part of this question is what is the best way to develop and test NuGet packages locally?
My current flow is a PowerShell script which will create the new .nupkg file, publish it to a local/filesystem NuGet directory with some random semver number (i.e., 9.9.9), update the .csproj with the version (temporarily), and then do a fresh dotnet restore on the target project. However, this can be cumbersome and feels like something that should be built into the dotnet command. Am I missing something, or is this really the best way to develop locally?
You can add Ecosia as a search engine to Firefox Android by going to Settings - Default Search Engine - Add then entering the following:
- Name - Ecosia
- Search URL - https://ecosia.org/search?q=%s
- Complete URL - https://ac.ecosia.org/autocomplete?q=%s&type=list
This will also allow you to use the Firefox Search widget on your home screen to search Ecosia.
I tried using the Addon to no avail, so I had to manually add the search myself.
Thanks for creating the community! I had forgotten to use Ecosia on Android for a while now. So much missed opportunity

The book was written originally by a group of Amazon engineers and strives to be a resource on getting started with deep learning.
Even if you have no interest in developing models, you should be aware of how they work under the hood.
For the AI enthusiasts, it makes them more interesting. For the AI doomists, it makes them less scary.
The book being online and an easy to remember URI makes this a great reference book that you can access from any device with an internet connection. You could read the whole thing with cURL if you were feeling wacky. You can also clone the repo and host it locally if you want to "own" a copy.
They are releasing a physical book in English this week, so for you collectors out there can have something for your shelves.
Get good loot from a toolbox in Fallout? Gotta check them all now
