hard disagree about the permissions. If I want to run closed source programs like games, discord, zoom or whatever, I like knowing they can’t log all my keys, take screenshots or even run their own version of windows recall without my explicit permission
If the point of Lemmy is just to generate as many comments as possible with everyone just assuming whatever they want about linked articles without reading them I’ll quickly leave again. I’m here for informed discussion, not for a competition in generating engagement
except for c++ it was just to avoid a single function call, not extra indirection. also on modern compilers size() will get inlined and ultimate instructions generated by the compiler will likely be the same
why comment if you don’t even want to read the article? python lists are not linked lists, they’re contiguous with a smart growth strategy.
wait, so companies selling heat pumps will be able to say they sell propane and propane accesories?
hadn’t heard of them but they played as an opener to a concert I went to. rather disappointed in the vocals (which consisted mostly of drunk shouting), though the backing band was obviously good. perhaps I’m not punk enough to appreciate it though
the meat off of hens that have stopped laying is also mostly only good for soup, since it’s pretty tough meat that said, it’s not that hard to kill them for food since you’re not exactly cuddling with them or even that close to them often like with companion pets
where are we? the war thunder forums?
the problem is that there’s people out there who in the analogy don’t know how to drive a car, defend it by saying ‘I’m just not a car person’, and constantly ask to be driven around when a major part of their job is driving a car. somehow when it comes to computers employers tolerate this
Which language would you say is not memory safe then? Is there any serious language out there where you should expect memory issues if you don’t make any mistakes?
sure, maybe, but performance doesn’t matter for deciding if a language is memory-safe or not. And C++ isn’t memory-safe by any commonly used interpretation of that word.
You may of course decide that the downsides of memory-safety aren’t worth it for your use-case, that is a separate issue
I agree that experienced users can write code that leaks less than in C, leaving aside the bottomless pit of despair that is undefined behaviour. But the the language isn’t memory safe, it doesn’t even prevent you from returning a reference to a local or helpnwitg iterator invalidation. you don’t have to jump through any hoops to enable making that mistake.
well, its possible to check if a rust equivalent would be riddled with raw pointers: just check the Servo code base.
personally I think its a good thing to have another browser implementation, regardless of specific choices they make about language or license
you could have progressive taxes on wealth as well. there’s a difference between having one house worth 500k and having 500 million in shares
this right here is the issue, people don’t even remember the size smartphone used to be. I’ve got a phone that’s one of the smallest available that still have decent hardware. the screen is still 6.1 inch. your example of a reasonable size is 6.3 inches.
what op and I are actually looking for is something around 5 - 5.3 inches instead, like smartphone used to be. For that size, all that is available today is no-name chinese phones with shit hardware and no support. the big brands are busy selling 6.2 inches as “compact” where it used to be considered phablet size
haaave you heard about our lord and saviour Typst?
same layout algorithm as LaTeX, but:
I think Ukraine should definitely join, but right now we desperately need to reform the veto system before taking any more members
it’s certainly a change from their declaration that Ukraine isn’t a country and Ukrainians are actually Russians
To be a positive impact, they just need to be less carbon intensive thans the energy they displace. According to the first results on google, (presumably utility-scale) solar is about 12 times less carbon intensive than natural gas and 20 times compared to coal. So as long as you’re replacing base load and not utility solar, balcony solar could be as much as 10 times less efficient and still come out a net positive.
Keep in mind also that these numbers keep improving as solar panel manufacturing becomes more efficient and starts using more green energy itself over the coming decades
I mean he’s fragrantly ignoring a supreme court order. at this point law enforcement agencies are complicit for not doing anything. I really think there are no boundaries left for trump to increase his personal power.
