Profiling
  • Racism doesn't change the skin color of the recipient, however.

    Kamala Harris is factually Black, and she is factually South-East Asian. Your perception of her skin tone means nothing.

    Colorism is a pretty old form of racism - typically perpetrated inter-culturally / within the same ethnicity, or more recently by white supremacists to categorize minorities or other white ethnicities - which tries to define someone as definitively outside of a ethnic group they factually belong to.

  • I'm doing the GBA Jam 2024, so it's for the Gameboy Advance. There is a manager library called Butano that's made the process easier, which could be an engine in a really loose definition.

    Besides Butano, I'm just writing all the other things that engines like Unity/Unreal usually manage as part of the project. A 2D top down adventure game is a good first intro because there's not a lot that you need a dedicated engine for, and it's actually been a breeze compared to trying to make something in the Unity editor.

  • Sorry for no screenshots, just wanted to share progress.

    I entered my first game jam a couple days ago, engineless, and I'm making progress! I only have demo scenes currently, but actors (including a player), map rendering, scene states and contexts, etc are all working so far! Next up is collision!

    I'm making an adventure game almost entirely inspired by a popular Nintendo franchise. Specifically ALttP.

    I feel bad for ripping off a game idea, but there's not enough games that scratch that itch for me!

  • It can be quite expensive, but after 20 different antidepressants and antipsychotics, I've considered it. My latest medications were $1738/m and $1800/m respectively. That's like $60 per pill that I need to take daily. I'm in a fortunate position with amazing health insurance that will cover it.

    Ketamine is $1200 every 3 months, includes therapy, and has cheaper daily nasal spray to maintain the treatment.

    Also, recreational Ketamine is different. There's Ketamine (recreational) and S-Ketamine (therapeutic). It does absolutely give you psychedelic effects, but it wouldn't be as fun of a thing to take in your spare time as Ketamine.

  • Cloudflare says they trained a model on non-cp first and worked with the government to train on data that no human eyes see.

    It's concerning there's just a cache of cp existing on a government server, but it is for identifying and tracking down victims and assailants, so the area could not be more grey. It is the greyest grey that exists. It is more grey than #808080.

    [meme] How would you rather see this land developed?
  • I live in one of these. They're amazing, and totally changed my mind on apartments. I just wish I had an extra room and a lower floor. I can get a garage for $100/m which is not bad at all.

    Anything cheap is going to be bad. We need to raise the standards to a minimum. The unfortunate thing I need to move to a house to be closer to my new job, otherwise an apartment like this would be fine.

    64% of Americans say they wouldn’t support Trump: poll
  • That's how polls work. I'm not sure if you genuinely don't know, but that's just how they are done.

    You can very accurately extrapolate data on the entire population with just 1000 participants. The flaw is in geography distribution, population distribution, willingness to poll, and other types of sample bias, but if they account for those then that's perfectly valid.

  • Schools sign the contracts themselves for license deals. The program either doesn't collect the same data, or doesn't collect anything other than analytics.

    They do this in Enterprise too. All of our enterprise software is a special version made for distribution. No EULA is involved.

  • No you're actually right, I didn't go to college... Because it was expensive, not because of the advice lol

    No clue why they thought it was a good idea. Maybe it was a scare/reverse-psychology tactic to get us to study something specific.

  • I was told to be a garbage man. Who the fuck made these tests? My guidance counselor for years told me not to go to college.

    I'm a software engineer now, and while I believe garbage men deserve better pay and benefits and recognition as essential skilled workers, who the fuck tells that to a kid? That they should give up on college and work a labor job for their entire life?

    That's not saying much because they still have 40k subscribers.

    The frequency response graph used in headphones is not an accurate/standard way to measure microphones, and LTT labs doesn't have HVAC isolation.

    Marvel VFX Workers Vote To Unionize In Historic Hollywood First
  • I always upvote Noodle. This specific video led me to leave my workplace abuse as a dev, and just about just about everyone else I worked with left as well once they saw people leaving. We're all much happier for it. I wish we had a union, because I loved those people and wanted to work with them forever, but we all had to move on.

  • This should cover every Nintendo game cartridge, but it was made specifically for the Game Boy (DMG/Color/Advance). It currently just counts up the address pins and reads the data, with no defined range to read from.

    Next hardware step is designing an adapter to map the pins for each console, and then making a PCB for both.

    Next software step is writing cases for each of the memory mappers used in the cartridges... For each console... so only ~50 cases...

    I wanted to make this because these universal readers cost ~$150-200 including adapters. Instead, I decided to spend $30 + $1000+ of my time

    This was a fun project and I learned a lot about the data structures used in the Gameboy era.

    Someone wrote an article about my original (now deleted) Reddit post if you want to learn more https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-pico-gameboy-cable-sniffer-emulates-pokemon-trading#xenforo-comments-3805572, or subscribe to my YT as I am releasing a video about the Gameboy Printer this week.
