I see you got a late fall or early spring kind of photo. To me, Montréal is a city of interesting contrast, an imposing concrete labyrinth in some respects, but a flourishing city of beautiful parks in others.

- in the search string URL box put this: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%25s

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What to put on a CV when I have nothing to put there?
4·5 days agoIf your resumé would be light in experiences, especially if you are young, then you can expand on your “skills” section. In resumés/CVs and later possibly in interviews, show some of the kinds of problems you solved and the technologies you used to solve them. Start thinking about any communication issues you might have had with your friends and classmates, sometimes online strangers, and remember how that got resolved so you can talk about it.

News@lemmy.world•Cities Are Ditching Flock, Immediately Replacing It With Axon License Plate Readers
7·9 days agoI’ve already heard of the name before, I know them for their police body cameras. One can make an argument that Axon’s systems don’t have the same extensive and interconnected surveillance network that Flock has, but the same type of data on people’s personal lives seems to be collected for a similar end-purposes which is the problem, more than the specific brand of the tech.
Plus, what’s stopping Flock from acquiring Axon and obtaining the data that way?

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•"It's Too Much": Valve Insider Warns Steam Frame Could Touch $1,500 at LaunchEnglish
211·11 days agoI still can’t say it wouldn’t be worth it at $1.5k for people that really wanted to get into VR… but unfortunately my price limit is $750 US for me to consider a launch day order, and obviously that ain’t happening. With component prices being what they are, it’s not realistic for me to expect any lower anymore.
But the best I can hope for is a memory crash and DRAM makers come scrambling back to fill the sinkhole void from the collapsing circular financing cycle. Today that’s just a pipe dream.

Technology@lemmy.world•Chinese CXMT to Match Micron's DRAM Manufacturing Capacity This YearEnglish
111·12 days agoI don’t think so, domestic electronics manufacturers have an enormous need for memory that is performant but doesn’t necessarily need the top-of-the-line, and probably China’s government is pushing to reduce the need for imported memory components from Korea or Taiwan as well, so demand for production is there coming from both the private and public sector.

Is it hijiki? Seems to match a least some parts of your description. It’s a traditional Japanese dish (other east Asian cultures as well), kind of sweet, uses sauce and boiled vegetables. It also has tofu in it.

Technology@lemmy.world•Chinese CXMT to Match Micron's DRAM Manufacturing Capacity This YearEnglish
521·12 days agoMicron doesn’t seem interested in competing for consumer memory anyway, since they exited the consumer memory market. Latent demand exists for memory at not-outrageous prices so good for CXMT for filling that niche.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do people make mods for games without access to the game's source code?
6·14 days agoDecompiling. Use ILSpy for games coded in .NET for example. You take a .dll for the game that you think contains the code that controls the behaviour you want to change. You decompile it. You change the code and recompile it. Then you replace the original .dll with your new one.
Sounds easy, but the tricky thing is that decompilers only parse what the code does, and if the code was compressed of obfuscated, it usually doesn’t provide what the coder called the variables and functions to indicate what they were for. So a function that was coded as:
function damagePlayer(characterRef *Player, int damage) { *Player.health = *Player.health - damage; }It will look like this after decompilation:
function func238(objRef *var4748, int local1) { *var4748.param35 = *var4748.param35 - local1; }So a lot of the effort is interpreting what these functions actually do then replacing the generic names. The hints come from when they are called (if the game can be debugged, you use breakpoints to pause the program when that code is called).
If there is a common engine or way programs are compiled, people develop libraries that work for many games, and all you have to do is have the library hook into the spots of each game where it does the common things like load resources or manage global variables, to have them loaded from a separate additional files rather than replacing everything (See BepinEx for example). Then that saves people work from having to compile and replace files themselves, and they can get right to changing the code where they want to. Then more modding tools make the earlier modding tools easier to use, so on and so forth.

News@lemmy.world•'I Would Never Do This To You:' Protesting Flock, Arizona Man Presents Plan to Surveil Government Officials
4·17 days agoI think you are falsely being accused of being an alt account of one of the admins of your Lemmy site.
As far as I can tell, your posting habit or style haven’t changed in any way since certain events related to that admin.
Thanks, that is helpful.
What else could I do for you, besides saying, “that sucks, friend”? Asking seriously.
- I can offer you advice based on my own experience, that may or may not work for you.
- I can refer you to talk to someone who has a professional degree in studying feelings, who may be able to help you with better advice than me or prescribe drugs.
- I can sit, nod, pat you on the back through words.
If it is someone I know in person, I’d try to send them care package based on what I would think they liked.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•An american on Reddit wrote: "I’m not sure it’s really a good idea to let legislation through on a 51-49 vote"English
48·18 days agoOn the other hand they only need a simple majority to confirm a Supreme Court majority of buffoons that don’t actually give a shit about the Constitution or even internal consistency, over their pet project to turn their country into an authoritarian state.


























Oh damn, I’d hid it into a spoiler once the guilty plea was confirmed, but I’m glad I can give a take once in a while that’s not bone-headed 😅
