  • No. If that thing ever ends up running in the ocean, we will all die

  • Yeah, same for simcity 4

  • Yeah, it's in my edit I realized the same thing. I'm thinking it doesn't actually really make sense and the real reason is more "the specific way C does it causes a lot of problems so we're not poking syntax like that with a 10 foot pole" + "it makes writing the parser easier" + maybe a bit of "it makes grepping easier"

  • So I think it's still probably unclear to people why "mix of keywords and identifiers" is bad: it means any new keyword could break backwards compatibility because someone could have already named a type the same thing as that new keyword.

    This syntax puts type identifiers in the very prominent position of "generic fresh statement after semicolon or newline"

    ..though I've spent like 10 minutes thinking about this and now it's again not making sense to me. Isn't the very common plain "already_existing_variable = 5" also causing the same problem? We'd have to go back to cobol style "SET foo = 5" for everything to actually make it not an issue

  • giving a medically unnecessary ear piercing to a 1 year does sound like something that should count as child abuse, yes

  • yep, it's almost all banana pi, and at least 4 different 'models' of it it seems. But the word is also used in some string processing tests and as an example comment of how suffix arrays work..

  • And most of those cases are of course using the word sarcastically

     
            The next function to implement is called, amazingly, next(); its job is to
        move the iterator forward to the next position in the sequence.
    
    	if (lc->sync == NOSYNC)
    		for (i = lc->header.nr_regions; i < lc->region_count; i++)
    			/* FIXME: amazingly inefficient */
    			log_set_bit(lc, lc->clean_bits, i);
    	else
    		for (i = lc->header.nr_regions; i < lc->region_count; i++)
    			/* FIXME: amazingly inefficient */
    			log_clear_bit(lc, lc->clean_bits, i);
    
        /*
         * Amazingly, if ehv_bc_tty_open() returns an error code, the tty layer will
         * still call this function to close the tty device.  So we can't assume that
         * the tty port has been initialized.
         */
    
         *   this header was blatantly ripped from netfilter_ipv4.h
         *   it's amazing what adding a bunch of 6s can do =8^)

         * Thanks BUGabundo and Malmostoso for your amazing help!
      
  • Davy jones couldn't step on land, and the dirt in the jar symbolizes land

  • You can still be snobby by instead insisting on "fold, scan, iterate"

  • the czech republic has over 40 thousand police officers and singapore routinely executes drug dealersSo while it may be technically true in that no actual violence was involved in the latest changes of government system, the threat of violence is always there

  • I love the implication that a "rational actor" would choose death over losing money

  • When you get to the informing policy stage, much "harder" sciences like pharmacology also get the same treatment of using completely disproven crap to inform drug policy. If you look hard enough, you can almost always find a study that agrees with your wildest biases and a PhD (often even in "good standing") who stands behind it and agrees with you.

    That there are 500 papers that find the exact opposite of your conclusion is not much of an issue when you're acting in bad faith and have a friendly media outlet to voice your views

  • it does kinda fit in that if you forced people to learn linux, the basic stuff most people do should in the end not be much more difficult than windows (assuming you don't run into more bugs)

    but that would never happen unless a "linux revolution" was already in full swing

  • My major version updates on 2 computers with linux mint in the past few years have been just one click, wait, reboot when prompted, everything works and you barely even notice that anything changed. Though maybe I've just been lucky

    though the rest of the video's takes on the linux experience for new users seems pretty accurate to me (lol downloading an application and using it requires at least a manual chmod +x and that's the best case scenario. Maybe there's a distro that has a solution but I have doubts (and "have everything you could possibly need in the package manager" is obviously a nonstarter))

    But the community parts seem odd to me:

    Is "just disable secure boot" a bad take? Has someone been holding everyone out on a better solution?

    and

    The only way linux is going to change is when money and development power is given to major dekstop Linux projects. It's time to stop wasting time on customization or packaging

    is just.. sure, herd all the cats into one place, make them all work together in harmony, and summon 500 million dollars out of thin air to wrap it all together. Instead of writing bash scripts everyone should be praying to gabe newell to save us lol

  • People who cant use linux never learned the basics of computers

    that's like 80% of all people

  • I haven't heard of .500 blackout before, and google gives conflicting info on whether it's "necked down .338 lapua magnum" or "like .510 whisper"

    polar bears have historically been felled with "panicked shooting with ar-15", and the "standard recommendation" seems to be "magnum rifle round"

  • .44 magnum is barely on par with an intermediate rifle round like 5.56 against large game. And that's before considering the massively lower felt recoil or the fact that a rifle is much easier to aim

  • Someone brough up a theory that it's a "symbolic punishment" for a journalist:

    remove the eyes so you cannot seeremove the brain so you cannot thinkremove the larynx so you cannot speak (the larynx contains the vocal cords)
