  • Suggestions for first C project

    Jump

  • I don't know about Europe. But the US (or at least the portion of the US federal government I deal with) has been trying to ban us from using memory unsafe languages for as long as I can remember. For us, Rust isn't replacing C; it is replacing Ada. The only difference is that they have stopped granting exceptions for new code bases in memory unsafe languages.

  • A new ‘solution’ to student homelessness: a parking lot where students can sleep safely in their cars

    Jump

  • You can easily buy a used car for less than two months rent around here. Less if you shop around for a deal. That car provides transportation, shelter, and does not need to be repurchased every month.

  • Even without AI, Web Development was destined to be a short lived industry.

    Sure, it will be around in some form, but a lot of that space has been taken over by mobile app development. Another portion of the market has been taken over by social media (your business doesn't need a website anymore; it needs an Instagram/twitter/etc). And yet another portion has been taken over by products like Wix that allow non-experts to make good enough websites themselves (even without AI).

    Really, thinking of "web dev" as a profession is a category error. You are a graphical designer and programmer that was working in the web industry. There are plenty of other industries that hire your profession.

  • What folders do you make in addition to the default ones ?

    Jump
    • /ram - tmpfs filesystem
    • ~/.local/bin - added to my path
    • ~/.local/software - any user-local program more complicated than a binary gets a directory here. Generally a binary would be symlinked to ~/.local/bin
    • ~/.local/venv - shared python venv to use for one liners and small scripts
    • ~/repo - local filesystem backed package repository for which the host system is configured to install from
    • ~/.local/repo - local filesystem backed package repository for which the host system is not configured to install from (used for mock, VMs, and external systems).
    • /overflow - Used to point to a large secondary hard drive (back when having a small ssd was the economical thing to do. Nowadays, it is just where my large directories go cause I can't be bothered to get used to a more sane setup

  • Ethical consumption, 1860

    Jump

  • But that isn't really the comparison being drawn. That comparison would be someone buying a shirt from a factory in a free northern state; because that shirt was produced by cotton grown by slave labor in the south.

  • Ms Rachel responds to antisemitism allegations: "The Stop Antisemitism Now group should not be able to try to ruin people's lives"

    Jump

  • It does more than that. It tarnishes the believability of all accusations of antisemitism, even those made by reasonable people about actual antisemitism.

    It also proactively fuels antisemitism by conflating Israel with Jews more broadly. Because of rhetoric like this, some subset of people who are outraged at Israel l's actions will now direct that outrage at Jews more broadly.

  • Klingons are so wholesome

    Jump

  • If you track how kids perform at this, you actually find a bathtub curve. When they are really young and just learning words, they are actually quite good at irregular conjunctions (for the few words they know). Then, as they get older and learn a bunch of other words, they start messing up the irregular ones they used to get right. Then, of course, they eventually learn the exceptions as exceptions.

  • There are two kinds of people.

  • When working in 2 dimensions with gravity, it is common to treat Y as up. E.g, 2d video games, physics problems, computer screens.

  • same shit every day, on god

  • Municipal steam networks are still operating today.

    For new infrastructure, Electricity is just so good-enough, that it is hard to justify building out partial alternatives like steam pipes. But where we already have them, they are still useful.

  • Israeli forces kill Palestinian men in West Bank after they appear to surrender

    Jump

  • Back in 1994, the IDF granted Itamar Ben-Gvir an exemption from mandatory military service due to his right wing views. He has since been convicted (in Israeli courts) of supporting a terrorist organization, and is currently serving as Israel's minister of national security; and is a key figure in maintaining the current governing coalition.

    The governing coalition has been in constant tension with senior IDF leadership, which has long argued that all achievable military objectives in Gaza have been achieved, and that continued operation is counter productive.

  • Comey case dismissed after Trump aide 'with no experience' tries to begin trial

    Jump

  • Correct. In theory, there is a law that grants an extension to the statute of limitations in cases where an indictment is filled in time, and subsequently dismissed.

    However, it is not clear if that is applicable here because one of the problems here was that prosecutor messed up the grand jury so badly, that there is a reasonable argument that Comey was never actually indighted.

    This isn't likely to come up, because the other result was a ruling that Trump cannot keep on appointing interim US Attorneys, so the prosecutor to bring charges would either need to be Senate approved, or court appointed.

  • Twitter's new country-of-origin feature shakes MAGA and Democrat circles as many 'US' accounts revealed to be foreign-run

    Jump

  • I'm surprised it is getting caught by this feature. I thought routing those accounts through a US based connection was table stakes. But, I guess there is no point bothering until people actually are able to see.

  • Israeli air strikes pummel Gaza less than 48 hours after UN adopts Trump's plan

    Jump

  • Israel will be paying for this for generations. They have renewed the generational trauma that fuels anti Israel terrorism, and squandered the historical good will they had managed to hold onto up until this point.

    Zionists, however, will be reaping the rewards of this for decades. That anti Israel terrorism fuels their push for expansion, ethnic cleansing, and genocide. The loss of good will forces Israel to realign it's geopolitics away from the liberal nations who push back against ethninationalism, and into illeberal nations with whom Zionism is much more idea logically aligned.

  • Is anyone here NOT?

    Jump

  • Yes, now that you mention it, I have been under increased stress recently. It started around the time I came to your office.

    Dr: I'll just put you down as having chronic hypertension.

  • US judge finds evidence of ‘government misconduct’ in federal case against Comey

    Jump

  • That isn't why she was hired. She was hired because she was willing to bring the case.

  • Trump says he'll issue $2,000 tariff dividend to all except 'high-income people'

    Jump

  • Because the tarrifs end up is the cost of goods, which is counted as part of their price when calculating inflation.

    If you subtract the direct effect of tarrifs on price, you'll find that they were deflationary.

  • Deal to reopen government falters over Democrats’ distrust of Trump

    Jump

  • What is the both-sides in this case? Setting aside the question of trustworthyness, what trust would a deal require the Republicans to have. The only commitment I see the Dems making here is a singular vote at the beginning. If they don't follow through on that vote, then the deal is off before Republicans give up anything.

    The Dems need to trust Republicans/Trump because they make their concession first.

  • New Drug Kills Cancer 20,000x More Effectively With No Detectable Side Effects

  • Meanwhile, the age-standadized death rate of Cancer in the USA has fallen %30 over the past 30 years.

  • YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port.

  • Waterproofing hasn't been relevant to batteries since they were made internal.

    I just checked, and a replacement battery for my 2024 HMD Skyline goes for $15.62 plus another $3.25 for the consumable adhesive pad and whatever shipping ends up being [0]. In practice, you might also need to buy tools, which can further drive up the cost.

    Finding that source took a bit of knowledge. If you go by what HMD tells it's US users, you would look on iFixit, which would be $30 for an entire kit, which includes the battery, adhesive, and tools (Just the battery and adhesive would run you about $28).
