  • Sorry bout your heart

  • I actually wouldn't put it past them to help bulldoze the entire planet to make an intergalactic highway if it meant they'd get Earth money in exchange. They're already doing that with the environment, so...

  • Sorry bout your heart

    Jump

  • It's pretty commendable that you're trying to educate that person. I wouldn't have even bothered since it's clear that they're asking questions in bad faith.

    Paraphrasing it:

    So you believe in Satan? That's stupid.

    And

    So you're atheist? With useless extra steps, too.

  • Hail Satan!

    Jokes aside, it's good to see more Satanists out in the wild. TST has been doing great shit, and I'm all here for it.

  • To fight Trump's funding freezes, states propose a new gambit: Withholding federal payments

    Jump

  • Point one is that he promotes the idea that the second American Revolution will be "bloodless" only if the left allows it to be

    Fuck this asshole. "It won't hurt if you don't resist" isn't a civil war, it's a hostile coup led by jackboot-supported fascists.

  • Video shows federal agents blast their way into Huntington Park home

    Jump

  • It's not that everyone owns a gun, but that some people own a lot of guns. And it just so happens to be that those people support this kind of government tyranny.

    It would be a very different story if the "tyranny" was punishing people for hate speech. That would be the wrong people being hurt, and that's unacceptable.

  • F44 Change Proposal to Drop 32-bit support has been Withdrawn

    Jump

  • As long as the kernel keeps supporting loading and executing processes with 32-bit code, they don't even need to go that far. There shouldn't be much stopping Valve from just supplying libraries themselves inside a container. In fact, that's what the Steam Linux Runtime "Sniper" does.

  • They're scared

  • This is the main problem when it comes to politicians not caring that incarceration costs more than helping people.

    An entire industry is built on profiting from legally-permissible slavery, and the only way to achieve growth is to either extract more value from the prisoners or the number of prisoners. The former isn't an option since prison work isn't mandatory, so that means growth is only achievable by imprisoning more people.

    To make that happen, the prison-industrial complex uses lobbyists to encourage more "tough on crime" laws and harsher sentencing.

    It really isn't a surprise that the whole idea of rehabilitation scares the politicians getting kickbacks from a private prison industry that thrives on recividivism and driving people to do things that get themselves incarcerated. They don't give a rat's ass that it costs the taxpayer more money when the alternative means that their own livelihood will be negatively affected.

    And that's precisely why we need more elected progressive politicians. The career politicians we have right now don't care about their constituents, they only care about themselves and by extension their corporate masters.

  • TIL Disney killed a bunch of puppies making "Snow Buddies" and weren't allowed to use the "no animals were harmed" claim

    Jump

  • It's not like they needed all 11000 of them. Half of them died from being submerged in boiling dye... Surely, it would have been easier with half a magnitude smaller quantity.

  • House shelves effort to impeach Trump over Iran strikes

    Jump

  • You're the opposition party

    That's the problem. They're not, and they don't want to be. The Democratic Party leadership runs it as the alternative party to the Republican Party and nothing more. There were plenty of opportunities to platform and support actual progressive candidates, but they instead choose to run the same old kind of moderate "don't rock the boat"-type candidates and court conservative voters in the hopes of leeching votes away from Republicans.

  • Feds seek to block WA law requiring clergy to report child abuse

    Jump

  • That's an optimistic timeline. A whole year without hurting the gay or trans kids is much too long for this administration to be comfortable with.

  • Whats a better name for 'graphics cards' that describes the kind of computational work it does

    Jump

  • We already have MMU for Memory Management Unit. Maybe Matrix Multiplication Accelerator instead?

  • Is there a way to block browser JavaScript from executing commands that retrieve sensitive information from my local machine, while still allowing JavaScript that is only used for rendering web pages?

  • going after trump’s businesses will probably avoid a military response

    More likely, it makes the poor baby (-hands) cry and throw a tantrum. Being the malignant narcissist he is, he thinks the resources of the United States government are entirely at his disposal. With that in mind, he's absolutely going to demand a military response to any attacks on his businesses.

    Whether saner heads prevail, all we can do is hope.

  • Trump announces that the USA has bombed Iranian nuclear sites.

    Jump

  • Yes. Only in fantasy land. As Logi above said, nuclear detonation is an extremely precise, controlled process that has very specific conditions to achieve successfully. Even an actual fission bomb only manages to consume a fraction of the radioactive material.

    The only thing someone would achieve by denotating a conventional explosive near a reactor or nuclear stockpile is spreading highly radioactive dust around. That does not nor will ever look like uncontrolled nuclear fission, let alone a detonation from a thermonuclear warhead.

  • 72% of Americans Say the Rich 'Have Too Much' as GOP Pursues Another Handout for Billionaires

    Jump

  • Not quite. The other 0.1% are the rich, and the remaining 27.9% are either just stupid or are delusional enough to think that they'll ever become the rich.

  • Too many non-working holidays in America

    Jump

  • Be the change you want to see in the world and post the exact same screenshot on the 4th.

    Either the reactionaries don't read the date and get pissed off, or they do read the date and get pissed off, proving to everyone else that the have the ability to use critical thinking but choose not to when it benefits their narrative.

  • Why make it complicated?

    Jump

  • std::string doesn't have a template type for the allocator. You are stuck using the verbose basic_string type if you need a special allocator.

    But, of course, nobody sane would write that by hand every time. They would use a typedef, like how std::string is just a typedef for std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>. Regardless, the C++ standard library is insanely verbose when you start dropping down into template types and using features at an intermediate level. SFINAE in older versions of C++ was mindfuck on the best of days, for example.

    Don't get me wrong, though. I'm not saying Rust is much better. Its saving grace is its type inference in let expressions. Without it, chaining functional operations on iterators would be an unfathomable hellscape of Collect<Skip<Map<vec::Iter<Item = &'a str>>>>

  • TypeScript [...] only adds syntax, and doesn't re-write it.

    I believe enum, const enum, and decorators would like to have a word with you.

  • Why make it complicated?

    Jump

  • Swift also uses backticks and Rust has a dumb one in the form of r#thekeyword. Still much better than introducing a async as a new keyword in a minor version of a language and breaking a bunch of libraries.
