  • My comments seem like they’re getting more votes/replies than usual. That could just be because of better stability though, also coincidental/context?

    Though I posted 2 threads (OC, simple 3D models with vertex colors. banan) 2 weeks ago that didn’t do much (and they both had federation issues in different places, one went to lemmy.world and not other places and the other thread did the opposite) in Kbin communities that don’t have any new activity still. I thought about posting to artshare (on LW) to see if that’d be better but I also haven’t done anything new with it recently.


  • Not on the conservative side; but yes

    As someone with parents who talk about aliens, culture-war BS, and that the problem with Trump is that he isn’t antivax enough? I assure you you’re wrong. I mean they aren’t buying raw milk but they definitely picked up on the idea from the rightosphere, and have talked about it a few times too.


    I should be clear there is a background of “REGULATION BAD” here (government bad, corporation/money good). Also republican lawmakers changing laws on raw milk (and then getting sick after drinking it in celebration, cause not confirmed either way but the excuses are onion-esque particularly the lawmaker sick on his office couch)

    The woo woo isn’t owned by either side either, though I would say it may be more of a case of weak political alignment that may shift to better suit their agenda (this is the case for my parents who voted for Obama and now express their regret for that in relation to who they are now) and/or a change of views they now see as acceptable to publicly have.



  • It doesn’t seem to work for me either, then again I have tinkered a bit with Nim and never known when to use that (though not the first I’ve heard of :=) and thus I never have.

    Does it look like a normal assignment? (like var test:string = "wow" or even just test = "wow")
    If so, have you tried just replacing := with =?

    But why does this example contain such an operator

    Good question! I’ll tell you…

    …I don’t know.

    EDIT: I do see someone say

    := to avoid declaring types

    though this is cached on Quora (I couldn’t find the full context) so I’d say this is not a required (or even probably a good) practice to do. I don’t consider myself a programmer and even still, defining types seems like an easy thing most of the time.

    Also it may not even be strictly necessary? I think the compiler will at least sometimes infer types during normal assignment, not that you should rely on that. If I had to guess, possibly this operator was removed in 2.0 (or possibly regression).
