  Yeah, I upvoted it too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a decent, offline Android text editor/IDE for c# programming.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. It’s only usable for coding and Termux. For everyday typing I use Gboard, but plenty of other options are available.

  Surely it’d be easy to just find an actual stock photo to use here. But it doesn’t matter because the background just needed to be Whatever.

  That write-up is well worth the read.

  What?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a decent, offline Android text editor/IDE for c# programming.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Acode: GitHub / F-Droid / Play Store

  It’s got everything you could want from a text/code editor, comparable to Notepad++ on Windows.

  I’ve tried Squircle CE in the past but I didn’t like it, though I don’t remember why.

  For typing code, I highly recommend Unexpected Keyboard: GitHub / F-Droid / Play Store

  And if you do want to use git, Termux is the easy pick: termux.dev/en/ . It can also easily run Python scripts with full functionality, but I wouldn’t know about C#.

  You’re right, it seems. That video is old (6 years), but I couldn’t find any photos or videos that look substantially different from it.

  “Arque tail” is the keywords to search for, if anyone wants to do their own research.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I call the cable I need?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Did it work? As I said, the ports on the router look a little weird, but if a normal network cable plugged into them then you’re good.

  As others have said, you weren’t being dense at all. Your question wasn’t stupid, just a little misguided, and it was very quick for us to figure it out with just a little bit of back and forth. I wish all tech support was this efficient!

  BTW, if anything I was being a bit rude when I said I wasn’t sure why you thought the other end needed to be different. Apologies for that. Looking at the photo of the router you sent around the same time, I can see why you thought that, it really does look different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I call the cable I need?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The router ports are too short, wtf is that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I call the cable I need?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The ports on the router look weird. I want to look more into this but I’m afk for the next hour. Will look it up more afterwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I call the cable I need?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What router is that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I call the cable I need?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you just need a normal Ethernet cable. I don’t know why you thought the other end needs to be different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I call the cable I need?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this the hub in question?

  I think you need a perfectly normal Ethernet cable. It would help if you show a photo of both the router and the hub.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was going to say that this might actually be a good idea, but then I remembered how often AI summaries get key details completely the wrong way around.

  I still think it’s a good idea in concept: modding is hard, or so I hear, and this could be a very valuable tool if it worked as it’s supposed to. I doubt it would.

  There are some details that I’d have done differently too, if I was somehow forced to implement something like this. For example, for each point in the summary (e.g. “talks about US politics”) there should be a list of comments/posts by the user to exemplify what they say and how they write. It’s useless if the summary doesn’t show you what it’s based on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I call the cable I need?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think so. They aren’t compatible. Even in the photo, you can see that the right cable only has 2 pins, while an Ethernet connector has 8 (I think). Definitely more than 2.

  What are you actually trying to do? What device are you trying to connect, and to where?

  My guess is that you’re going to need a modem, but please give more context.

  The Pitch Meeting video is how I first learned this movie exists. Sent it to a friend with the message:

  I haven’t watched the pitch meeting yet but there is no chance in hell this movie is better than the original

  Secretly I was hoping I was wrong, but oh boy, that turned out to be an understatement. Turns out my friend had actually already watched it with his mother… Or rather, tried to watch it. They had to stop hallway through because of how shit it was.

  So glad I didn’t have to experience that.

  (Note: I have since learned that the movie I was thinking about is not the original, there was an older movie and they’re both based on a book)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Florida ounces⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m well aware that the units were redefined at various points, but the new definition was always nearly identical to the previous one. Everyday usage was never affected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Florida ounces⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the true reason metric is better. A lot of people think it’s inherently better for various reasons: it’s decimal and it’s based on the constants of nature. While nice, that doesn’t make it a better system.

  The reason it’s a better system is that there has only ever been one metre, there has only ever been one litre, there has only ever been one kilogram. If you use any metric unit there is no ambiguity, there has never been ambiguity and there never will be ambiguity. There’s just one system.

  For the imperial system and all of its branches and predecessors, that’s just not the case. The foot has had different measures, the mile has had different measures, the fl oz still has different measures as you noted. You can speak to someone and say some measure, they hear your exact words and interpret it as some different measures.

  That’s the real problem with imperial, and that’s why metric was invented.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Florida ounces⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s that iOS? It looks different here on Android and I can’t tell how much of it is because I customized it. I don’t quite remember how I customized it but I remember that I did.

  My buttons are colored orange instead of blue, that’s definitely something I would do. The share button like different, as does the top bar with the back button.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m curious on why you want to do this. If you’re managing an open wifi used by a large number of people (e.g. at a school), it’s very different from if you just want to block it at home. But for the latter I don’t really see why you’d do it through DNS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soup of Theseus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  /u/TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip fairly sure the distribution you should use is hypergeometric distribution, found via urn problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soup of Theseus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In python the closest I could find was (untested): sum(random.sample([1, 0], spoon_size, counts=[soup_count, water_count]))

  But this would create an intermediate list of length spoon_size which is not a good idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soup of Theseus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting. I don’t know why I didn’t think of just keeping a count of soup molecules. Must have been late!

  Another interesting point, your simulation is subtly wrong in a different way from my calculation. When there is only one soup molecule left, there is a chance (however tiny) that rbinom will return 2 or more, taking out more soup molecules than there really are.

  If you run it enough times with a bowl of 3 molecules and a spoon of 2 molecules, I’m sure you’ll hit -1 soup molecules some of the time.

  For a simulation I think we can do better. There must be a random function that does it properly. The function we want is like pulling balls of 2 colors out of a sack without replacement. Pretty common combinatorics question, I would expect a random function to match.
