These are not necessarily unpopular in terms of subscribers, but nieche in terms of topics:

• acollierastro: theoretical physicist with a unique style. What got me hooked are her videos debunking or responding to popular scientific misconceptions.
• Ben Eater: teaches computer related subjects like electronics, networking, low level programming, architecture etc. in a fun way. He has a series where he builds a computer from scratch with cables and circuit boards.
• Living Ironically in Europe: if 2balkans4you was a youtube channel, although he has some serious content as well
• Masaman: mostly talks about genetics, he hasn’t made any new videos in a while.
• Max Derrat: he seems to have deep knowledge about occult stuff and its history which he uses to analyse video games and other media.
• Ostura Official TV: progressive metal band from Lebanon.

Is this really world news, tho?

Yes, at this point the choice is who gets to spy on you.

I saw some memes with Good Omens templates and decided to give the show a watch.

Season 1 was pretty good, the kind of comedy that made me smile occasionally, which is fine.

On the other hand season 2 was mostly boring, 2 episode’s worth of story was stretched out to 6, and the ending ruined the friendship between the main characters, which was the cornerstone of the whole concept.

Also C# (or should I say the .net framework) is now cross platform, which wasn’t really the case when I first saw this meme.

This joke made sense when instead of .net you could only use Mono with C# on other platforms, which wasn’t very good at the time.

Yes and no. They serve roughly the same purpose.

I actually hated Powershell until I was forced to work on some automation scripts with it and realized that it’s actually pretty cool.

Bash is good for quickly doing something in the terminal but for longer script files I prefer PS now. It feels much more modern and has a less janky syntax.

Funnily enough the reason I had to use it was to make my scripts cross platform between osx, linux and windows.

“It never happened but they deserved it”. It’s a classic rhetoric of people who deny or white wash genocides.

I do when I’m in a hurry. It’s not as good as the real one but gets the job done when I really need it.

I like to “annoy” people whith small “things” that are insignificant “alone” but add up over “time”. Kind of like “overusing” quotation marks in “posts” and comments.

that’s not even a joke, I’m using intellij community as a merge and diff tool exclusively. it doesn’t support the language I want but even without it it’s better then anything else.

A ban usually means that the account is closed forever, while a suspension is temporary.

But even if it’s not, brands like to distinguish themselves by using different lingo to their competitors. For example, even though Lemmy is a Reddit clone is heavily inspired by Reddit, they use different words like community instead of sublemmy.

Not necessarily, depending on your situation you can type the JS code yourself.

If the team making the JS code were using jsdoc then the Typescript compiler can recognize the comments and use it for type checking.

In some instances the compiler can infer types from JS code to do some basic validation.

Even if the external JS code is recognized as any, your own code that’s using it still has types, so it’s better than nothing.

Typescript is a language, Node is a platform and framework. You can use Typescript in your Node project, they’re not mutually exclusive.

The way I see it Typescript is more popular than ever, almost all (popular) libraries come with types and every job offer I get they use Typescript.

And with good reason, our team recently took over a small Javascript app and there are tons of bugs that would never have existed if they were using Typescript. Things like they refactored something but missed to update a reference, or misspelled a variable name, failed to provide a required parameter to a funcrion, referenced a field that existed in another config object etc.

It’s a good way to get started, and then incrementally type as much as you can, preferably everything.

Later on, or if you start a new project with TypeScript, it’s a good idea to turn on noImplicitAny and only allow explicit any in very specific framework level code, unit tests or if you interface with an untyped framework.

The hassle really pays off later.

I was a huge fan of the Prince of Persia Sands of Time trilogy. Just before the third game came out I replayed the previous two games again. I managed to get the secret ending of the second game. It’s un understatement that it blew my mind and that the third continued from there instead of the regular ending.

I don’t either)))))))))

I think they were referring to the recent events in Israel in this case but the instance was problematic from the start.

I’m usually fine with interacting with people from all over the political spectrum, but genocide is way over the red line for me.

The amount of heavily upvoted comments there about white washing genocide, trying to deny it or somehow justify it was disgusting. I’m not talking about recent events but mostly those committed by regimes that called themselves communist, no matter how far they actually were from it.

I don’t agree with communists in general but I also don’t agree with many other ideologies. I don’t mind being around communists if we can talk respectfully. But I consider tankies the left wing version of neonazies.

Finally

That’s really expensive, I pay around €7 for the family plan and I live in the EU.

That’s a fair point, where I live we have a point system for entry and you get the majority of your points through your grades. You also get points if you’re economically disadvantaged and some other factors like certain disabilities, if I remember correctly.

It seems from the outside that a systematic change would indeed be a good idea, not something that would just help the poor but address the root cause of why people become poor in the first place.
