"then" is used to depict time, sequence or a causal relationship. "than" is used with comparative adjectives, to depict comparison.

  • severe security flaws in D-Bus

    I searched for this and all I got was CVEs in the implementations.What are the flaws in the protocol that I don't know of? If you can link it, I would love to read.

    I recently started interacting with code that had something to do with D-Bus and from what I saw, there were policy files, which are required to do anything with D-Bus endpoints provided by software. That's essentially where I stopped, considering that to be the end-all for D-Bus security.

    What am I missing?

  • the Rust book

    Do you mean this? https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/

    I actually started with that, but somehow redirected to "Rust by Example" and realise they were different, probably because of the same domain name and theme.Now I see, they did start with explaining ownership, which is one of the things I felt that i was missing, when I started moving forward in "Rust by Example". Thanks for putting me back on track.

  • Those space construction startups know what they’re doing. They’re selling billionaires a bridge to nowhere; and it’s working.

    Guess I should have gone CHA instead of INT.I might have gotten some of that billionaire money to buy more RAM.

  • Any specific reason for the 2 separate engines?What's the advantage?

    All I can think of is that you might be running a much lower powered, single engine when not in 4WD mode.

  • Except that that's hard to happen.The very existence of an ultra-rich means that there was someone who managed to get extraordinarily high amounts of extra value from someone as compared to what they paid that 'one' for it and then did it over and over again, essentially leeching value out of the system, making it a -ive sum game for anyone inside it.So when you take more than you give, you end up breaking the original meaning of money (that was "proof of work/goodwill") and when you do that enough, the worth of work gets warped and those who do similar work, end up indirectly losing more than what they give.

  • I find it really hard to relate to people not liking Qt Documentation.Specially if you use qtcreator, you get to simply F1 any Qt class and you are sent straight to the documentation specific to that thingy.

    Then there are cases where on top of normally telling what a function does, the docs also give an idea about the performance considerations, other than just the space/time complexity.

    Granted there are some gaps when doing more advanced things like sub-classing an item-delegate, but:

    • When sub-classing a class, you are expected to do more than just read the docs
    • There are really good examples that more than fill that gap.

    Of course, if you just want to download an older version of Qt, like 5.14 and use QML with it, you are in for a task.

    Also, you are expected to understand C++ concepts before starting Qt, because that's not what its docs are intended to teach you.

    P.S.: a lot of the phrases are intended for those who found the Qt Docs "awful"

  • +1 for being the kind of guy that goes to a Windows problem thread and suggests installing Linux (I have done that just for fun), but for Rust.

    I am currently learning Rust in my freer time and found "Rust by Example" not as appealing.For context, I learnt C when I was a kid, following "Programming with C - Schaum Series" and loved how it started by giving an idea of the memory representation for all data structures the way it is abstracted (or not so much) in C. Later in Uni, I hated "Let us C" (even though it seemed to do a similar thing at a glance) and "Let us C++" and just learnt the languages on the go as required by courses and projects (also simply used a C++ reference book instead of a course styled one).

    Now I see "Rust by Example" and see some parts not having been explained in the beginning, for which I would have to open the link to a section, much further ahead (it probably is not a course styled thingy). I will end up learning it, given time, but is there some material available that has a similar approach to introducing programming with Rust as the Schaum Series one was for C?

  • Apart from GTK, wxWidgets (wxC) and FLTK (cfltk), which others have already stated and are more geared towards desktop UI, you can consider SDL3 for a more open ended graphics library. It's good for making game engines.

  • Does Lemmy have more freedom of speech than Reddit?

    Jump

  • I started that mainly because it felt weird that a comment I wrote, had a blue up, when I didn't do it.Now I consider upvoting something as a way to emphasise the post/comment and not upvoting all my comments makes me show a point when I do upvote something that I wrote.It is really just for myself though, as a single upvote doesn't really matter and others are not really seeing if I am the one that has upvoted it. You can call it a compulsion, I suppose.

  • Trans people are like witches that hand out curses that cause harm? I think your skepticism alarm should be going off.

    When I said that - some person told me that they actually work - I didn't mean to say that I believed that part.

    Although I understand that I didn't mention that multiple times in capital words (because I didn't feel the need to), just because some of the poor trans people banded with some poor eunuchs to make a cult, of which I have a bad impression, that doesn't mean, I have said impression for trans people all over the world.I was mostly just giving a list of past events, and they most definitely don't tell my current thoughts, which I feel, the last 2 paragraphs should have explained well enough.

    I have once even gone pretty far into explaining how important I consider, not to have prejudice, which even got quite a bit of backlash and a ban from a community. So I am not going to put the effort into reiterating it over here.

    But of course, anyone may feel free to label me as anti-trans or whatever anyone may feel like and I may feel free to consider them an unreasonable person.

    Yeah, but on my instance, anything you post automatically has a +1 from yourself, which you must have removed.

    I didn't downvote my post, I just un-upvoted it. It is possible to downvote it and that would give me a -1 from myself.

  • How do I keep PulseAudio from randomly changing the volume?

    Jump

  • The first thing that came to mind after reading the title was, "uninstall PulseAudio".Jokes aside, it could be some setting of the DE you are using. If the audio output device is detected as headphones, there tend to be settings that reduce the master volume on certain events.I remember KDE Plasma used to do that. Every time I switched the output device (or was it when I unplugged and re-plugged it?), it set the headphone volume to 60%.

  • I’m perfectly fine doing only what is assigned to me.

    Except when they tell you to start using a new library, but you can't read documentation.And finish the feature within the day.
