Man, TomTom had some kickass ones. Vader was on mine for too long.

Might be. I remember them being marketed as “no return rentals”

I startled my dogs laughing at that last bit.

Last time I dealt with Matlab much was like fifteen years ago when I was helping some people using it for quick interpretation of data. We just kept finding bugs that caused calculation errors (which they fixed pretty quickly TBF) and it was so much slower than any other general programming language we tried. It could be way better now, I wouldn’t know, I haven’t had call to use it since… A circuit simulation class?

In all reality it’s fine for what it does, just like every other language. It’s another tool in the box that’s most useful for a certain set of problems.

Matlab shouldn’t, in my opinion, be used to construct a GUI, or generally be used for any sort of production code. Perfectly fine as a research tool though.

But I digress, my overall point is a meaningless semantic joke. The only people who will get bent out of shape about splitting hairs between “scripting” and “programming” are all people who belong in this community.

TigerDirect eventually acquired the rights for the Circuit City name, years after the stores closed. They were great for awhile, it was just weird that they tried to revive the brand.

I bought my first PC parts at CompUSA, which… I don’t think I’ve seen for a very long time lol. Definitely used TigerDirect when I was in college though.

Oh it shouldn’t, seeing as how it’s a scripting language and not actually for programming lol

Unregulated capitalism destroys everything it touches, including itself.

Oh that was wild too, those color changing DVDs.

TigerDirect

Just pull the trigger, we both know how this ends.

Ooh! Ooh! Who are the three most communist friendly Lemmy instances and do they want to be friends?

Well shit.

The state and corporations will absolutely protect themselves with extreme violence.

Also, it’s nice to see a link to the anarchist library instead of Amazon.

We have both Aldi here but they’re differently named. One is just Aldi, the other is Trader Joe’s.

It’s our super low cost grocer, that has in recent years become more high quality. When I was a kid (80s-90s) it was like “never buy fresh anything there because it’s all crap” but these days it’s all pretty decent quality stuff. Not like farmstand good, but better than Walmart.

That parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It is an ex-parrot!

If a state doesn’t give a crap about its citizens, doesn’t defend its citizens from other states, what’s the point of a state at all?

The Geneva Convention is clearly Hamas.

Teen Vogue really on some shit lately.

Between them and Rolling Stone the last few years…

“Well guys, looks like the grey lady is doing a 1935 again, so Jackson, I’m gonna need you to pivot from writing relationship quizzes to the child labor beat. Ada, Frank, can you handle best makeup tutorials and genocide? Allison, I know you’re on concert reviews, how would you feel about also picking up the investigation on coal coke emissions?”

Fucking good on them, I’m sure that there have always been people doing good work at these publications, but it seems like they’ve had to really expand their purview recently to cover these giant gaps.

I used to call myself a “left libertarian” but to be frank, after learning more I’ve found that “anarchist” fits far better. And there’s a lot of interesting content out there that I enjoy. I’m not sure who all .world has defederated, but the solar punk instance is always great, our mods are great (Midwest social), some people may find them abrasive, but those are people who maybe don’t understand that when you play in someone else’s home, you play by their rules.

Also: blahaj, beehaw, and even hexbear is usually entertaining, even if I have some disagreements with them.

The point is, there’s a lot out there, depending on who you’re federating with.

Aka: the harbor freight method. I’m a big proponent of this one.
