    What will happen if a huge number of active, adequate people come on lemmy, for example, 1 million in 2026?

  • Well, a few niche topics are well/over represented. Linux & Communism are very niche in real life, at least in my experience, but quite well represented here.

  • What are the pronouns they/them in your language?

    Jump

  • Disclaimer: I'm learning Japanese & I don't know Chinese.

    It looks like the original character for the 3rf person pronoun is now the masculine pronoun & the female pronoun is made by substituting the person component (人, I don't know how to type the left-component form) with the woman component (女).

  • Piracy is communism 😎

  • Communism was previously provided by Marxism-Leninism, but it has been mostly unmaintained for a while, and was thus dropped from the latest Debian. Try the more actively developed Maoism fork.

  • You got the kernel from Debian's official (read: central) repo, didn't you? The decentralized mirrors exist for a reason, bootlicker!

  • my new laptop literally is more than double in each spec

    Where did you find a laptop with a 27.2" or larger screen?

  • No, I don't want to "turn children on".

  • If it were a magic lang item, you could treat the resulting value in a special way. Then, you could create an optimization pass for this situation: if a variable is assigned random in a loop and the loop can only be exited with a certain value, the compiler can coerce the magic rand value to it.

  • More code = more better

    Jump

  • You could do a lot worse. If the type of i was an object, you could overload the negation operation to have side-effects for the third snippet, for example.

  • More code = more better

    Jump

  • I don't know what I was thinking.

    But, if you borrow C's semantics, you are allowed to "optimize" away side-effect-less loops, even if they would never terminate. But that would require the random method to be pure.

  • More code = more better

    Jump

  • I feel like an idiot. Also, in the "Good" example, no underflow occurs. i goes from 0 to -10, and x is assigned to -i every loop.

    It might still be possible to optimize away the random number example, if the random function were made a magic language item, but it would not be even remotely close to being worth the effort.

  • More code = more better

    Jump

  • The compiler should be able to optimize all of them to the same machine code.

    1. This is already good.
    2. Easily optimized by constant folding.
    3. This one depends on the semantics of signed underflow, so it may not do what you want.
    4. The loop can only exit if x==10, so as long as the nextInt() method doesn't have side effects, the loop should be eliminated. But, again, language semantics can affect this.

    Edit: Very wrong for 3 & 4, see replies.

  • I had enough of big tech and their actions, so created this guide to make switching as easy as possible

  • I'm not Swiss, but I've understood that Switzerland adopts many EU laws, but not all of them. I've also heard that a right-wing party, which wants the country to be more independent from the EU is pretty popular there.

    As this is just based on things that I've heard, I don't have any sources to link.

    What I mean is, Switzerland is an European country, but as I've understood, any specific EU law or regulation may or may not apply.

    I don't know how many people get off from drawings. I think that AI-generated child porn might be better?

  • I've never understood the complaints about that. It's not like real children are hurt by those drawings.

    1. do not use ANY company resources. This could put you at risk of theft.
    2. do not do it on company time or make it look like it's on company time. See point 2.

    Did you mean "See point 1."?
