> I wouldn't have known that a family member was pregnant. Wait... how? Your family only communicate via facebook? I'm not judging here, I'm genuinely curious

Of course you're not required to. It's just what you would have done if you'd been rational and would have liked trump to not be in charge. Sitting it out and letting Trump win (or directly voting for Trump) was your right. Y

You're either not paying attention or actively a supporter

by chikere232 2y ago
Do you think Trump is better? Because that is what you're getting from a policy of holding out for a good enough opponent You're free to be a Trump supporter of course, but if you're not and you're still enabling Trump t

A blue geriatric would do far less damage than this. Also, don't wait for an election, start protesting now. There may never be a free election again

> At best, they're misguided and have fallen for Musk's charisma. At worst, they're actively supporting and abetting the subversion of our democratic government. They can easily be both. They're definitely the latter

If they're helping overthrow democracy and the rule of law, they are not the best of us nerds. Naming and shaming them is good. No one forced them to take this job. With the skills you list they could have done any number of good or ne

It all depends on how persistent the new american system is. During the WW2 german occupation of France, there were some french people who opted to enthusiastically work to support the german side, and they certainly benefitted short term f

I remember a lot of praise for duck "typing" as if it was an innovation, and claims you should just write unit tests to catch type errors. People kept glossing over the fact that writing typed code would be so much easier than wri

Isn't this essentially how a modern transactional database works anyway? All mutations end up in the Write Ahead Log (WAL) and you can replicate or back up that to be able to recover the state at a point in time?

I find them easy to hate as I only use their products when I work for some company that has made the mistake of standardising on them. If you don't hate microsoft after a few months of working remotely using Teams, Outlook etc, I'

isn't that what the e2e encryption is for? I guess they could collect metadata of course

Why? That way you break a lot of things.

Reinventing wheels does not always get you better wheels... Often, with the type of developer who insists on reinventing wheels because it's "easy", you get a pretty bad wheel, as it's the first such wheel the developer

I know it's just an example, but if you're on linux there's signalfd() which makes signals into IO so you can handle it in an epoll()-loop or whatever way you like doing IO We can't remove the old way of course, as that

Does anyone use the full standard library for embedded targets? I've not seen it done in C, java has a special embedded edition, python has micro-python, rust seems to usually use no-std, but I might be wrong there. It seems like a bad

by chikere232 2y ago
It might be a bad choice on rust's part. IMO they should over time fold whatever ends up being the de-facto choice for things into the standard library. Otherwise this will forever be a barrier to entry, and a constant churn as ever ne

The lack of such tooling is kind of a feature. Writing your own language is a great way to learn, but almost all of them shouldn't be used for anything serious

Fairly new as a user so my impresson is of limited value. It seems nice so far. Similar to mastodon, but more focused on photos. Finding people to follow early on is a challenge but so far I sometimes look at the global feed and follow peop

If the ORM is bad enough, it can easily overwhelm the language being slow ;-)

and the timing... Zuck lost any benefit of the doubt by publically removing fact checkers and the "the company needs to become more masculine" bs.

It's early days for pixelfed, it will take time for people to move, but you can be part of the change Mastodon is fine for photo sharing too

Of course, I just want the activity and sleep tracking, and the occasional alert or notification, so the tradeoff is easy. If I wanted whatever the apple watch can do beyond that I might make a different choice
