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.

Ads are indeed getting smarter every day

I agree, and even if it could I don’t think it should.

But there also should be some kind of mechanism to deal with members whose interests no longer align with the rest of the EU.

Not necessarily kicking them out or punishing them because they are out of line, but cutting funds seams reasonable. We get that money for specific reasons, and if they are not spent to meet those goals they should no longer be handed out.

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.

The title is misleading as the event will be hosted by Nordic Sun Records, not “Hungary”.

According to the article the Budapest police stated that they will monitor the concert and step in if try to start anything.

That’s already happening as Western taxpayers understandably don’t want to subsidize Orbán’s corruption. But it seems to have the opposite effect of pulling Hungary back to the EU’s side.

I was seriously considering buying the game on release but after 8 hours of not having fun paying it I’m glad I had GamePass to try it on first.

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.

Just started Dragon Age Origins, I’m still at the tutorial level but it looks like a game I’d enjoy.

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.
