Ad insites is 3rd party ads which as I said Roblox doesn’t do (yet).

Yes but if everyone used their services without paying, they would go bankrupt. Just like using Roblox without paying costs them money.

And if no one bought Nitro or advertised games Discord would run out of money.

That’s the same as using Roblox without giving them any money.

They got money from the IPO. The money let them build a plant to sell cars at a profit. In 2016, they had burned through the IPO money and weren’t selling the model 3 yet. Musk later admitted they were months from bankruptcy. The stock price was around $12 a share.

Selling cars at a profit is what caused their stock price to rise.

I’m unfamiliar with their games. They have no ads? Or are you talking about Discord?

Tesla gave cars away for free to gain market share?

Valuation is only useful for an exit strategy. They’ve already IPO’d. If they don’t show profit, the stock will collapse.

You are costing them money to provide servers and bandwidth for free. They don’t (as of yet) have 3rd party ads giving them any revenue from users that don’t buy anything. More freeloading users doesn’t help IPO because they already IPO’d.

The idea that more freeloading users is a good thing is an absurd idea from the 2000 dotcom crash. I once had a potential customer call me and tried to negotiate for free web hosting under the premise that they would increase hits to my website. I laughed at them saying, “You don’t understand how any of this works. I have to buy servers for thousands of dollars. I have to pay tens of thousands a month for upstream bandwidth because I wasn’t a Tier 1 ISP. Driving traffic to my site costs me more money.”

I’m unfamiliar with Mac programming but that looks normal. Do those function calls become absurdly long when used?

Here’s one I found on Google from the jdk:

InternalFrameInternalFrameTitlePaneInternalFrameTitlePaneMaximizeButtonPainter

Yes that’s not a typo, internalframe is repeated.

It’s free. If you never buy a hat, you are actively hurting them.

It’s java. Extremely drawn out method names is it’s calling card.

No. I usually browse all.

Where are people seeing this hexbear and lemmygrad content? I use the Thunder client with a lemmy.world account. I don’t have those instances blocked but never see anything from them. Is it because I created my account on lemmy.world?

Ignoring AI as he is like ignoring Spreadsheets as hype. “I can do everything with a pocket calculator! I don’t need stupid auto fill!”

AI doesn’t replace people. It can automate and reduce your workload leaving you more time to solve problems.

I’ve used it for one off scripts. I have friends who have done the same and another friend who used it to create the boilerplate for a government contact bid that he won (millions in revenue for his company of which he got tens of thousands in bonus as engineering sales support).

Microtubules have been pushed for decades without any proof. The latest paper wasn’t evidence but unsupported speculation.

But more importantly the physics of computation that creates intelligence has absolutely nothing to do with understanding intelligence. Even if quantum effects are relevant ( which is extremely unlikely given the warm and moving environment inside the brain), it doesn’t answer anything about how humans are intelligent.

Penrose used Quantum Mechanics as a “God in the Gaps” explanation. That worked 40 years ago but today we have working quantum computers but no human intelligence.

It’s lower performance in the one situation of iterating on an 8bit ASCII string for programs written 30 years ago but faster in more common uses. Multibyte doesn’t matter when everything is 64 bit. A 64 bit length counter is long enough for everything but the most edgy of edge cases. You take a performance hit if you aren’t aligned.

Can you tell where the end of this string is: “ABCDEFGH”? What about now: “ABCD\0EFGH”?

No because unicode and binary formats means a string can contain anything.

You answered your own question. Strings with length are better than null terminated. It is a mistake in the original C language library and probably a hack because the pdp11 used asciz format.

They said they are bringing back their website but it’s months out of date. They could just post the transcripts from YouTube with whatever slides they show on YouTube and it would be helpful.

But website ads don’t get the ad money like YouTube.

Doctors are understaffed and underpaid because insurance is taking all the profit.

That’ll last 6 months and then he will quietly get an exemption to work from home
