« The problem with grabbing small snippets of code is a lot of context is lost.» does not mean that a lot of additional code is required to understand the context, additionally, simple code may require you to read a bit of code to understand it.

Simplicity does not mean small scale, nor that it must be understood at a glance.

Rich Hickey got a great presentation where he discuss simplicity vs complexity. It’s worth a watch if you want to better understand the concepts.

Got a database error from the instance when trying to log in, the failure seems to fixed now. The bot should be online again 👍

Simple != few lines of code, nothing incompatible about those two statements

You should probably watch the video before criticising the tech

Disabling JS via ublock works for this specific site

It will be up and running once I get home today. It’s snowing a lot today (big surprise in Norway /s) so the train might be a bit delayed, but I should be home at around 22:00 today, the server should be up and running around that time.

It might be, I’m away for Christmas / New year’s eve and I’ve lost remote connection to the server. I’ll be back home in a week

I got a bot on lemmy that scrapes espn for sports/football updates using regex to retrieve the JSON that is embedded in the html file, it works perfectly so far 🤷‍♂️

From the second sentence on the page:

It is different from loss leader marketing and product sample marketing, which do not depend on complementary products or services.

So the Razor and blades model would probably be the more accurate term for what people thought the new steam hardwate would be, yeah.

Though steam won’t lock you to their services.

A product sold at a loss/very attractive price to attract customers. The idea is that they customers will come due to the cheap price of a desirable product and buy additional other stuff at the store, which should hopefully make up for the loss.

E.g. a restaurant advertise cheap burgers to attract customers, and then make the profit on alcoholic beverages that customers buy alongside the cheap burger.

Though to be fair, I think the study would yield similar results to pretty much every country.

They do, it’s just lemmy hiding the mod usernames for normal users. Admins can see the moderator names in the mod log.

Assume you’re saving X amount of money each month for your retirement.

Your options for storing that money is either:

1. In cash which will “lessen” in value as time goes by due to inflation
2. In a savings account with middling interest rate
3. Or you could invest in the stock market which will typically offer better return.

Assuming you go for option 3, would you choose to invest in a company with zero growth meaning your retirement fund won’t grow, or would you choose a company that is constantly growing?

Nobody would choose to invest in a company with zero growth or which doesn’t return money back in the form of dividends.

You’re objectively better off investing in companies that grow since those are the companies that will grow your investment.

Certain grifters are advertising taking essential amino acids supplements instead of protein. Presumably his team concluded that there’s no upside to taking essential amino acids supplements when he gets enough protein.

If you trained push on Monday and Thursday, it wouldn’t align with your plan of PPL, rest/cardio. Did you skip the rest day?

Regardless, once the freebie gains are over, linear progression doesn’t happen on a weekly basis, and recovery is complicated. There could be plenty of different non-quantifiable reasons as for why you didn’t perform as well as last push session.

Just consider it noise/natural fluctuation. Zoom out and look at your trend line over a few weeks instead. Bad days at the gym are unavoidable, I wouldn’t worry unless you’re trending downwards in performance.

MongoDB handles web scale. You turn it on and it scales right up

You can’t just replace coal and oil by nuclear power. it takes decades to build a new plant and is very expensive.

That’s been said for over a decade at this point. We could have had plenty of nuclear power plants and maintained/developed expertise in the area if clean energy was a goal that was taken seriously by Europe. Both solar and wind are innately inefficient in terms of W/m^2, and wind has the additional problem of noise pollution and environmental impact.

How can it be profitable? Surely the energy cost would surpass that value of a single search?
