Having switched to an iPhone, the thing that I realize now bothers me the most about android phones is the battery life. So many things about iOS frustrate me but the battery life alone makes up for all of that. I don’t understand why Qualc

Because absolutely nothing else is as good in all aspects. Not having a 100wh battery alone would disqualify the vast majority of other laptops.

Exact same experience here. I hate how USB C has the fragile male end on the port and the durable female end on the cable. It’s significantly more complex and less robust compared to lightning. Is this really the only way to get higher char

good to know that you don’t consent to what other people do with their money.

I said “it’s not any weirder than promoting rust under discussions about c++”. That’s not claiming you said something about promoting rust, that’s asserting that if you have any consistency then you should find that weird as well. The title

You thought I accused you of promoting rust. I didn’t. I said that someone who complains when rust is criticized in a conversation about c++ should complain equally when rust is promoted, which should not be a controversial statement if you

I didn’t accuse you of doing it, I said you only find other people bringing up rust weird if it’s not positive. Unless you want to agree that it’s always weird to bring up rust in a discussion about c++? I’m not upset about anything. You sa

It’s not any weirder than promoting rust under discussions about c++, unless you think any mention of rust must be positive. There is pretty much nothing useful, this post included, that can be done with const fn in rust.

Much more than rust, that’s for sure, where you are forced to stick everything in a macro or pray the compiler is smart for compile time programming.

At this point and seeing the way you argue, I’m not interested in debating about what I would prefer private banks to do. I simply stated that it’s intervention to force me to use some currency, and yes I am forced to use the USD. As is any

It's intervention if it's done without consent. You're free to have a national bank, it's intervention if you force me to pay for it or use it. If you and your employer agree to have a contract enforced by the government

There is none, because there are no pure economies. Is capitalism for or against government intervention?

The one that goes “force is only justified in response to force” does not.

KDE is ugly and buggy. None of its famed customization works particularly well. I couldn’t find a way to change the font size on the panel, which is trivial with Dash to Panel on gnome. Latte dock would completely freak out when trying to m

It would because the argument I made is that you want to prevent financial privacy and control other people’s money, not about how good crypto is at preventing those things. “Scams occur so ban crypto” are the patriot act talking points and

I find it hilarious that you intentionally quote one half of a sentence knowing the other half would defeat the argument you make. No, and phishing and ransomware aren’t what you’re targeting. Since you intend on banning general usage of cr

by alphanullmeric 3y ago
“It’s the law” is not an adequate justification of the law. My argument isn’t moot because your intention is to violate my privacy, regardless of how good you think I am at protecting it. Again, keep your hands off my things. No, things you

Preventing you from spying on and making rules about other people’s money is a legitimate purpose, and no amount of patriot act talking points and proposals for the redistribution of consequences will change that.

No, “environmentalists” hate carbon taxes because it would force them to pay their fair share. An easy way to spot a fake environmentalist is to ask if they intend on taxing proportionally to environmental damage or income, and if those tax

I’m referring to things like println, which isn’t a macro in any other language. If you want to stick with the serde example, then look at the diy name mangling in the deserializer trait: https://docs.rs/serde/latest&#x

The issue is the reliance on macros in the first place, which half the time are just a shitty substitute for overloading, variadics and inheritance that can’t be nested, doesn’t have editor highlighting, and takes longer to compile. Macros
