  • I’m a married man and I’m glad about it.

    Having stability and confidence that the person you love is there for you and going to stay there for you gives a wonderful and peaceful confidence.

    Is marriage the only way to get that confidence? No.

    Does marriage guarantee you will keep that confidence? Also no. Nothing is certain in this life.

    But standing up in front of all your friends and family stating clearly that you intend to stick to and support this person for all your life, in a ceremony that everybody understand more or less the same way, is a really good base for building stability.

  • Scientists may have developed fully saltwater degradable plastic made from plant cellulose. Unlike other “biodegradable” plastics, this quickly degrades in salt water without leaving any microplastics

  • How many stories have you seen about batteries with the term “game changer” in it?

    Can you honestly look at the world today and say with a straight face that the game has not changed with regards to battery tech?

    Compare electric cars and battery-powered computer runtime from 20 years ago, 10 years ago, and 5 years ago. It’s crazy! I just worked all day on my laptop without plugging it in and the battery isn’t even half dead. I can go anywhere to work and don’t require an outlet. The game has changed. This advancement in battery tech is ongoing and has not stopped.

  • But if you are doing something advanced, down at the hardware level

    This part is wrong. Otherwise yes correct.

    The “unsafe” code in rust is allowed to access memory locations in ways that skip the compiler’s check and guarantee that that memory location has valid data. They programmer is on their own to ensure that.

    Which as you say is just the normal state of affairs for all C code.

    This is needed not because of hardware access but just because sometimes the proof that the access is safe is beyond what the compiler is able to represent.

  • Try to find a big rig truck wash near your location on Google maps. I cannot. Only 57 million car washes and no way to filter them out.

    Edit: lo and behold: “big rig truck wash” is the magic phrase it turns out. “Truck wash”, “Semi truck wash”, “semi truck wash -car” don’t work but “big rig truck wash” does.

    Fuck you Google, you waste my time.

    [Trigger Warning: Suicide]... Parents, how would you feel if your child died by suicide?

  • I would feel very bad.

  • Because there is currently no direct evidence of anything amiss.

    You don’t need direct evidence of a problem. It’s the other way around — In order for the software to be trustable with private data you need steady, ongoing evidence that the authors are trustworthy.

    National spy agencies are out there, right now, and recently in the news, trying to suborn open source project maintainers. This is a known risk.

  • Key handover in the dark: Syncthing fork community raises alarm

    Jump

  • Yes. It’s very very hard to read the source and know there’s no security bug in it. That’s 10x truer when the security bugs are potentially on purpose, and carefully hidden.

  • I really don’t see why there are so many people around saying “it’s probably fine”

    In my personal opinion shit like this is probably not fine at all.

  • Vorsicht vor Ratten. Ich habe eine Ratte mal unabsichtlich in meine Küche hereingeladen durch so eine Leiter aus Reben wachsen lassen. Die hat die Besuche mehr als ich genossen.

    Watch out for rats. I accidentally invited a rat into my kitchen once by letting vines grow onto a ladder like that. It enjoyed the visit more than I.

  • I read stories about parents supporting their kids through depression and therapy stuff and I just feel so sad, I don't have anyone to help me navigate through this

    Jump

  • Speaking as a parent who understands all too well about my kids’ depression, it might not even help.

    “Ok, yes, life sucks, nothing matters, nothing is worth doing, and nobody cares. This is normal it’s just like that for some people. Now get your ass out of bed and [do your homework | get that resume written | go to work]”

    This is my refrain for the past 10+ years. My kids do not enjoy hearing it, I do not enjoy saying it, and none of us has the faintest clue what to do that’s better than this.

    You could try going for a walk outside in the sun and/or rain when your mom is bugging you too much with her not-understanding. That doesn’t get the homework done or the resume written or whatever but it can be a real mood lifter even for people who have heard the advice enough times already to be frustrated by it.

    Good luck out there kid, it’s a hard world but somehow you can do it.

  • Private digital photo frames?

    Jump

  • Digital photo frame that somebody else controls is great for the case where you are a person who can’t do tech, but you have somebody you trust who can, and you want to get a daily update delivered to your kitchen showing what all the grandkids have been getting up to.

  • Be careful picking your bird. At least some parrots will learn sounds and phrases that you did not intend to teach them.

    For example I had a friend with a parrot who would very convincingly make noises like somebody having a low conversation on the phone in the next room.

  • I feel like this one is more just total indifference to the screwing over of poor people, rather than active attempts.

    It’s not like rearranging the order of your daily back transactions to put deposits and small withdrawals last, where they’re creating more overdrafts on purpose to extract more fees from poor people. That one really steamed my gizzard back when I was living paycheck to paycheck. That was active malice.

    This one is not making them any money. It’s more of a casual “I want to make sure nobody rips me off by taking gas they’re credit card won’t cover, and I don’t give any shits about how that makes poor people unable to buy gas and groceries on the same day “
