I don't know, but if I were in charge of the FCC, I'd purge most such rules and instead bask in the glow of true freedom.

Z-wave uses lower frequencies compared to something like Matter so it you can use a lower power or get more range. One competing 802 standard is 802.11ah, or WiFi HaLoW which barely exists right now but should be the best thing available.

I don't know why "if err != nil" is such an issue, as C programs have been doing the exact same thing for decades and it works just fine.

If true, then that's disappointing as a Pi 4 should be able to handle a full gigabit, and if the traffic's too much for even that, then Mastodon has a bloat problem.

I don't know, but for statically linked glibc, it adds a couple megabytes to each binary that uses it. That may or may not be great if you're concerned about cache optimization, which is one big reason why dynamic linking is still

I really like that font, but that price ($75) is really untenable for me. Is there any alternative?

by netr0ute 4y ago
The problem here is that that implementation was written in plain old C and is super unsafe, and is NOT C++. I don't know why C keeps getting confused with C++ because the two are basically totally different now.

let mut line = String::new(); stdin().read_line(&mut line)?; This is what I'm talking about. This is so ugly and clunky and needlessly verbose like Java compared to C++ where you can do std::string input; st

For me, syntax is one of the top priorities because if I can't express what I want using something compatible with how I think, then it doesn't matter if the language has SuperLib 4000 available if I can't program with it.

I had the same experience with Rust too. After trying and failing for hours to trudge through syntax BS, I'm (probably) not touching it again until something big changes. I can't even get user input without making a huge ugly one-

I don't know, because if you're writing programs for things like IoT or embedded, then you're dealing with nothing but wimpy little low power processors where removing a bounds check gives you huge increases. Then, it makes n

The other problem here is that if an average user can't easily discover those other options, then they might as well not exist. In comparison, "Clipboard" is exactly what you'd search for and is exactly what you think it

by netr0ute 4y ago
The problem here is that all of these tools are really unintuitive to use because you can't just discover them on your own, or I wouldn't have thought to make Clipboard. You also have to use stdin/stdout/redirection whic

I would bet $1 that 99% of memory leaks are from legacy C, or C++ where the code monkey forgot to use memory safe features.

by netr0ute 4y ago
C++ doesn't have to be unsafe anymore, as it now has features that make it just fine to use without manual memory control.

I have a LicheePi and a VisionFive 1. The LicheePi is really tiny and really cute, and it's no more than $30. However, it's essentially a Raspberry Pi Zero and so is super slow. The VF1 is like the LicheePi but hugely upgraded, as

"Embedded" means a deeper connection between the software and hardware by definition, so it might make sense for pure software to be uncommon.

We don't actually know that this is true, because if you don't take the law literally like a lot of coders do, then that scenario isn't known to be possible because the format is a more explicit from of protected speech

The music labels never actually got rid of anything in a technical sense, only added information in the form of a sticker.

Music has always been protected from the beginning of the Constitution and there have been zero (0) efforts to prevent its protection, while online code repos have only existed for about 30 years and don't have that same cachet yet.

If the sites/authors are out of US jurisdiction, then there's not a whole lot that could be done, so there's that.

This doesn't hold up if the software is baked into things that are undoubtedly protected by the 1st Amendment. What's going to happen if a music album uses ITAR technology?
