  • Number of lines vs number of words spoken vs length of time speaking probably would have a lot of variation in results.

  • Momentum isn’t magic – vindicating the hot hand with the mathematics of streaks | Adam Sanjurjo & Joshua Miller | March 26, 2017

    theconversation.com Momentum isn’t magic – vindicating the hot hand with the mathematics of streaks

    For 30 years, sports fans have been told to forget about streaks because the ‘hot hand’ is a fallacy. But a reanalysis says not so fast: Statistics show players really are in the zone sometimes.

    I just had an idea that people smarter than me have probably had long before I heard of Lemmy.....but I don't see it implemented, so I'm sharing it anyways!!!
  • I didn't realize kbin.social went offline.

    How's your project going? Are you finding any tradeoffs you made stand out as especially worthwhile or something you'd choose differently if you started over (perhaps something you're planning to change)?

  • This suggestion seems to be a bit different from what you implemented on piedfed. I'm having trouble articulating it though. Something more like a feed of user defined subset of subscribed communities/topics.

  • Threads can now show replies from Mastodon and other fediverse apps
  • AT protocol doesn't federate the way ActivityPub does. There are separations between how your dat is stored, how it is aggregated, how it is filtered, and how it is displayed. Each part can be hosted separately and federate differently with separate instances of each part. The aggregation part is the thing that is most critical and there are probably some limited independent instances of that, but BlueSky has offered no support in facilitating this beyond making their peices AT Protocol compliant. You van take what BlueSky built and try to run your own instance of the aggregation service but they provide no documentation or support. You could also build your own, but that's difficult and I don't think anyone is trying.

    So it is federated, but pretty much no one is interested in doing the work to federate with the primary infrastructure.

  • Yeah I'm not disappointed to see this instance close up.

  • Theirs is a "Loli/Shota/Cub Friendly" instance according to their sidebar. That's why they aren't federated with many instances.

    PSA: You can paste the link to a Lemmy post in the search bar of your instance, and you'll be able to access the post from your instance
  • The default UI is how most new users will experience interacting with lemmy instances at first. So it's helpful to create a better first impression. To the extent that this is built into the project itself makes it easier for other UIs to be created and maintained too.

    I believe that the Lemmy devs are working on a better url scheme for posts and comments as well. This will also make it less annoying without any browser extension, script, or other third part service.

  • I generally agree with you.

    However, I want to encourge you to consider softening up your replies to people who you don't have a strong prior social connection with. I've started making an effort to do that and I've found that I'm having more rewarding conversations now.

  • That's very different from what I think people generally want by default, which is that when you're on lemmy.world, it's because that's your home instance and any links to other instances would be automatically converted to the lenmy.world version of the post or comment by default (as long as the two instances are federated).

    Anyone that wants more could find a browser plugin or script, but every new user with an account of any instance would have an initial experience that's much less confusing and more consistent and pleasant.

  • It's not implimented because the developers of lemmy have been prioritizing other issues and features. They say they're open to code contributions, so someone would have to volunteer to do it.

    Cmdline - Neovim docs | Command-line window | In the command-line window the command line can be edited just like editing text in any window.

    neovim.io Cmdline - Neovim docs

    Neovim user documentation

    In the command-line window the command line can be edited just like editing text in any window. It is a special kind of window, because you cannot leave it in a normal way.

    There are two ways to open the command-line window:

    1. From Command-line mode, use the key specified with the 'cedit' option (default CTRL-F).

    2. From Normal mode, use the "q:", "q/" or "q?" command.

    • This starts editing an Ex command-line ("q:") or search string ("q/" or "q?"). Note that this is not possible while recording is in progress (the "q" stops recording then).

    When the window opens it is filled with the command-line history. The last line contains the command as typed so far. The left column will show a character that indicates the type of command-line being edited

    @ciscoserrano on the essence of software applications | This comment on a YouTube video struck me as insightful

    > @ciscoserrano > > I actually do have some advice for people on this topic. If you want to learn programming here is a very important concept: Every piece of software you've ever used can be broken down into 4 simple ideas. What I call The Four Friends of Programming. > 1. Save data and use it later. (example: variables, memory allocation) > 2. Conditionally execute things. (example: if statement, switch, match, jump) > 3. Repeat yourself. (example: loops, recursion) > 4. Organize the first three things. (example: structs, functions, classes) > > Thats it. Thats every program you've ever used. The next tip, is that every programming language is someone's opinion of HOW you use those four friends. programming languages are made by people who have opinions about how to program. What makes different languages interesting is that you get see/discover new ways of using those 4 simple rules to solve problems. The people that wrote Java believed that all data should be contained in a type. The people that made Lisp believed you only need lists and recursion to compute anything. But in the end its the same four rules wrapped in an opinion of computation. > > So. If you want to learn programming, pick a language, any language. One that you think will make you money or one that you think will enable to build what you love easily. Then MASTER the four friends in that language. When you do that and move on to the next language you can peel away syntax and jargon (because those are a someones opinions of how code should look) and really peer into the big ideas of the person that designed it.

    The video itself is pretty good too.
