Open source projects shouldn’t have “making money” on their priority list. I would donate to Mozilla if I had some guarantee that my money would actually fund Firefox development

themusicman@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Half-Life 2 is currently 100% off for its 20th anniversary, plus a major updateEnglish1·6 months agoNah this is pretty concrete. There’s a flat screen single player game in active development with features being added like vehicle physics, surface temperatures, NPC AI handling for non standard gravity, etc. And there are half life related strings all through it. HL3? Who knows, but it would explain why they actually acknowledged their two anniversaries…
We also found that, unlike similar US studies, there was no significant bias against female students. In fact, there was some evidence of positive bias, or preference, for female students.
And then, in the caption:
Our study found academics did not discriminate against potential candidates based on gender.
Some mild irony there
But in seriousness, really good to see this quantified, but sadly not a huge surprise
themusicman@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•Cloudflare's new marketplace will let websites charge AI bots for scraping23·7 months agoThem being able to offer this service, and them proxying 30% of the internet are completely unrelated. Any other company could offer this scrape protection if they wanted, with roughly the same cost of entry.
You can hate cloudflare all you like, but only a certified dumbass would try to pretend this feature is somehow enabled by their market dominance…

A lot of the lower limits being rolled back were specifically targeting school zones. This is genuinely about children’s safety
No, they changed it so you don’t need an account to view patch notes

themusicman@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•"Quick" security check... I had to do 15 of these...English4·8 months agoTo answer your question without being a dickhead: The given x indicates the point on the curve you need to find the slope at. In other words, find the derivative and then evaluate that function at the given x.
themusicman@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Going on my first super long haul flight - what can I buy to make it more comfortable?6·8 months agoLoved my QC25s until they broke. The new versions are a pain to keep charged…
If rust code relies on a C API (as it necessarily does), then a breaking change to the API requires changing that rust code. This is common sense.
If a process is set up for deferring rust maintenance to a rust developer, this can only last as long as rust maintainers are willing to staff it.
If C developers are unwilling to accept any risk of needing to touch rust code in the future, then rust contributions should not have been allowed in the first place.
Allowing rust contributions and then imposing restrictions on what can be done with it? That’s not reasonable.

themusicman@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What effect would a stochastic metronome have on its listener?2·8 months agoYeah I’ll code this up today and send you a link
themusicman@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What effect would a stochastic metronome have on its listener?6·8 months agoThis is similar to some popular exercises for improving your internal pulse. E.g. having the metronome drop out for a number of bars while you’re playing.
My prediction:
On its own, it would be hard to derive the underlying pulse. Even a trained musician would take a little while (my guess is 4+ measures). In the context of a song it would probably have little to no effect.
I could probably test this if anyone’s interested
I’m not one of those people, and to be clear I support for-profit companies open sourcing code. Mozilla is a unique case where donations are a tiny fraction of their income and Firefox development is a tiny fraction of their expenses. I just want to donate directly to the parts I care about (Firefox, MDN).
