In Ruby, 0 and “” is truthy, so this would be a little different than the Python interpretation. You could filter with #select, but you’d typically write your code around this instead.
Yup :) Everything in Ruby inherits Object, too. It’s a really neat language, and when you get accustomed to it, you might wonder why some other languages aren’t written like it.
For the 0 value being truthy, consider that Ruby is a dynamic language. Imagine if you asked a user how many motorcycles they own. If they answer, you’ll have an Integer. If they don’t, you’ll have nil, from NilClass. 0 is just as valid of an answer as 2, so you can do something like this:
Valid criticisms tbh (I even could say the same as a day 0 account lol)
Moderation isn’t going to “improve” because they generally are fine with everyone being goofballs, so I wouldn’t expect that.
Some people have the cascade of shitposting and useless emojis coming with their crappy views, but I don’t think our instance is great at propaganda or ROE, which is unfortunate. Would love to see what we could do with a little discipline.
Also the emojis on every other instance and all mobile apps look more obnoxious because they don’t downscale to their intended resolution.
Once you learn about Linux, you go faster than any other noob. And that is very useful for programming/hacking jobs, faster than all those noobs with 0 knowledge about what is what.
Picked up a friend at the airport I had never met IRL yet. We were the same height. He said he was 6’0", I thought I was 5’7" or something. I am not good with imperial units. My height is average.
Content about what? The communities in Lemmy that I care about have a grand total of 0 users and that’s if I include myself. Not much of a conversation to be had.
Most people take a simple view of cash: they have a checking account for spending and a savings account for savings, and if they get fancy, they’ll have a CD for longer term savings goals. Power users will change to an online bank with better returns, and that’s about as far as it goes. That certainly works, but we can do a...
I don’t think you can change the core position of a CMA account, or have cash deposits auto sweep to a money market fund, though you can auto sweep out of your money market fund (e.g. if your core position is $0, your money market funds will be used for purchases). The core position for a CMA is an FDIC insured account with lower yield than most HYSAs.
However, that’s only applicable to the CMA, you can change the core position of other account types. I think the Fidelity account is the main one where you can set your core position to a money market fund (like SPAXX), and I think it defaults to SPAXX.
And then there’s their Bloom products, which IIRC can only use SPAXX as their core position.
It’s important to note that the awesome debit card is only for the CMA, the Bloom product’s debit card is more similar to traditional bank account debit cards (no ATM reimbursement, 3% foreign transaction fee, etc), and I think other account types have similar terms to the Bloom debit card. The Bloom products also give a small amount of cash each year for transferring in cash.
So in short, you’ll want the CMA for the debit card and something else for the better core position. I leave my CMA @ $0 unless I go on a trip, and then I put in enough cash for the trip and transfer everything back out when I get home. I put all of my regular spending on the Bloom accounts because SPAXX is good enough and I like the small cash bonus each year (there’s also debit card spending rewards for the Bloom debit, but I don’t use it).
Fidelity has a lot of products and they can be a little convoluted, but once you get it set up it’s smooth.
The problem is the bots make more posts than there are people willing to comment on anything. The userbase gets fragmented and they never end up in the same post as someone else, there’s 0 actual socializing. People scroll past tons of posts with 0 comments and get frustrated and sometimes they quit. It also discourages real people from making regular posts because they can get drowned out by the bots.
I’d be very curious to see if there’s been any successful Lemmy bot poster that just copies content from Reddit or somewhere else, in a way that people actually enjoy and engage with.
I think you need to respect the natural ratio of people posting and people commenting. Bots screw up that ratio big time and dilute the commenters spread thin, stretched across too many posts. Like butter scraped over too much bread.
