  • Aluminium drawback? Why US still uses so many plastic bottles?

    Jump

  • Aluminum is the fifth most common element on Earth, and is naturally present in pretty large quantities in soil.

    Are you sure you aren't confusing it with lead?

  • U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs

    Jump

  • If you were as confused by this as I was:

    Shortly after the vote, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said it would sue the FTC to block the rule

    The US Chamber of Commerce is a right-wing lobbying group for businesses, unrelated to the US Department of Commerce which is an actual government agency.

  • No, sorry. Ethically, this technology can only be used for torture.

  • Then, you could take those comments, and have the compiler use them to ensure you're using the right variable in the right place. Oh wait, we just invented a type system.

  • Exam Answer

    Jump

  • Works even better in Ruby, as the code as given is valid, you just need to monkey patch length:

     
        
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

module DayLength
  def length
    if ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"].include? self
      "24 hours"
    else
      super
    end
  end
end

class String
  prepend DayLength
end

day = "Monday"

x = day.length

print(x)

  • Exam Answer

    Jump

  • It could be Ruby; puts is more common, but there is a print. With some silly context, the answer could even be correct:

     
        
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

module DayLength
  def length
    if ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"].include? self
      "24 hours"
    else
      super
    end
  end
end

class String
  prepend DayLength
end

day = "Monday"

x = day.length

print(x)

  • What? You said you don't like pride parades and the response was "don't go then". Not everything is for everyone.

    Do you want everyone who enjoys pride parades to change them to specifically cater to you?

  • Is this a Nut?

    Jump

  • I'm sorry to hear that. I think at one point in my past, about half my job was tracking down nil dereference errors in Ruby. And probably a quarter was writing tests for things a good type system would catch at compile time.

  • Public trust

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, the answer to that doesn't lie in science but in politics.

  • Sweden officially joins NATO

    Jump

  • I assume you meant trillion and not million for those gdp figures? Even then, they're low.

  • PSA: You can't delete photos uploaded to Lemmy. So don't (accidentally) upload a nude

    Jump

  • But you can delete your copy, ask others nicely to delete theirs, and refuse to accept more copies of the same thing.

    I'm not sure if Lemmy supports any of this, but it seems pretty important for e.g. child porn.

  • Firefox Devs Working on Tab Previews

    Jump

  • By vertical tabs do you mean tabs on the side instead of the top? If so, check out the tree-style tabs extension, it's great.

  • Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED

    Jump

  • Your white led is a blue led with a phosphorescent coating.

  • Apple is finally allowing Firefox to use its own engine on the iPhone (but only in the EU)

    Jump

  • Pray it just works? Get consumer-friendly legislation to pass in the US somehow? Maybe a genie wish or an infinity gauntlet could be used for this purpose.

    Apple has never been great at enabling developer testing. I certainly don't see why they'd care if shit works on third party browsers. The more broken apps are just means the more users who will give up and use Safari.

  • Amumu rule

  • Amumu is a character in League of Legends. One of his abilities is to cry, which causes damage to anyone near him.

  • A huge battery has replaced Hawaii's last coal plant

    Jump

  • It's still wild to me that I visited Hawaii as a kid, and then several years later. When I went back, a road I had driven on as kid was covered in lava.
