I drank coke for 30 years, but in the last year I stopped in part because of Gaza (among other terrible things and people they’ve supported over the years) and in part because the prices they’ve been charging lately are ridiculous. It was easier to quit than I thought it would be and I doubt I’ll ever buy a coke product again.
Well, on the upside TikTok wouldn’t be used by the CCP for spying and propaganda. On the downside it would be used by Musk for spying and propaganda. I’d rather just see it banned.
That’s true, but they still won’t hire any unless they need a token minority for some reason. This staff will be old, white, and male. Also a bunch of useless fascists with room temperature IQs. This is the start of Trump’s kakistocracy, it’s all downhill from here.
It’s because Rust is a significantly higher level language than C (and C++ gets held back by it’s C roots). In C there’s no such thing as a method, there’s only pointers. The closest you get to a method is a function pointer. C++ expanded on that with the concepts of class, object, and method, but stopped half way leaving an object and a pointer to an object as distinctly different concepts that are treated differently by the language. In order to do anything with a pointer besides change its address in C++ it must be dereferenced. The -> operator in C++ is really syntactic sugar for a dereference followed by a method invocation. In other words these are equivalent foo->bar() and (*foo).bar() as stated in the quote you provided. C and C++ treat pointers as their fundamental abstraction and treat everything as special cases of pointers.
Rust in contrast treats Objects as first class abstractions. It doesn’t really matter whether you’re dealing with the owned object or a reference to that object owned by a different scope, in either case the compiler knows at compile time what its type is and what traits it implements. Given that knowledge whether the method is invoked from the owned instance or a reference it’s treated exactly the same. Further because pointers as opposed to references are treated as second class citizens (relegated to the “here be dragons” of unsafe), the concerns of C/C++ about distinguishing between a pointer assignment and a pointer dereference aren’t particularly important. In general the times you need to explicitly dereference something are far more uncommon in Rust, with the compiler generally being able to work out on its own when it needs to dereference something or not.
The bit about the receiver just means that the compiler at compile time knows the actual concrete type of all references with the exception of dyn references which force compile time dynamic dispatch (in which case the compiler inserts and utilizes a vtable exactly like C++ does).
Maybe he thinks a bunch of health insurance executives are hanging out in the technology Lemmy community… for some reason. I mean, I’m like 99.99% sure they aren’t (and if they are and they’re reading this: fuck you you ghoulish waste of carbon).
If they had impeached his ass he wouldn’t have been eligible to run.
No, the time to deal with this was any one of the multiple times Trump was impeached but our Congress and Judiciary are apparently filled with spineless corrupt pond scum pretending to be humans.
Well AMD just blatantly copied Nvidia’s naming scheme for their new GPUs so maybe they’ll copy Intel for their CPUs. I mean, they kind of already did, since the Ryzen 9 is basically i9, and the Ryzen 7 is basically i7 etc. It’s mostly AMDs mobile CPUs that have horrendous names, but Intel really isn’t much better in that department.
How would this generated electricity be transferred to the purchaser? So I generate 1 kW of power and get one of these tokens. I put that token up for purchase. Somebody buys that token entitling them to 1 kW. Now how does that 1 kW go from me to them? If the answer is the power company, now you need to rope them into this scheme and I’m not seeing any reason at all why they would do that.
Well there’s basically two possible states. Either Luigi didn’t do it in which case the one who actually did is the hero and Luigi is just a proxy for this unknown individual, or he did do it in which case Luigi is the hero. Either way doesn’t really change the sentiment as at the end of the day someone who was actively making the lives of millions of Americans worse and directly contributing to many thousands of preventable deaths was killed. Who actually pulled the trigger is kind of immaterial.
He might pardon a couple of them just to get a sound bite out of it, but once he’s shown that he “won” by pardoning a couple he won’t give a shit anymore and he’ll leave the rest to rot in prison.
Absolutely nothing, it’s utterly useless. The only useful info at this point would be if they can find some kind of evidence to prove this wasn’t an accident, either some kind of intentional ignition source in the car, or a manifesto or some kind of proof of motive. Until either of those surface I’m just chocking this one up to Teslas doing Tesla things with some new years fireworks and camping supplies making it extra spicy this time.
No it’s not illegal to access the porn, the porn sites are just required to “prove you’re over 18” using an approved mechanism, which in practice means a scan of a state ID. Porn sites rightly don’t want to touch that kind of PII with a 100 foot pole so are just blocking all access instead. Technically, they attempted to comply with the law exactly as the law requires so nothing illegal has occurred. Basically it’s a giant waste of everyone’s time and the only lasting impact is that VPN companies are loving this.

I don’t think it actually “exploded”, just caught fire. So you know, standard behavior for a Tesla.
Not unless they’re a minority or they kill or threaten someone rich and conservative. The rich part there is really important, they won’t care if a poor conservative gets killed. They might care a little if a rich progressive gets killed, but only if they think there might be a chance it would lead to attacks on rich people in general.
What the fuck do they mean privatization, it’s already fucking private! Did we suddenly get a socialized healthcare system when I wasn’t looking?
Could have saved a lot of time by just saying Trump plans to make one of the worlds worst healthcare systems even worse in whatever way he can. We’re well on track for a healthcare system collapse in the US if Trump actually implements the things he’s said he will. It will make a matched set with the economic collapse he’s also working on.
That’s a great idea, although I still think the drones should be programmed that in the event they lose RX for more than a second or so or if they detect a collision to immediately cut all power to the motors.
The bit that confuses me is how anyone got hit. Drones have this neat ability that if you just stop the propellers they drop like rocks. It’s pretty standard practice to not fly drones directly over people. In a drone show they shouldn’t have really been moving fast enough where horizontal momentum would account for much and in the event of a collision they should have just cut power to the drones. The only way I can figure for this to happen is either a) they didn’t follow basic safety precautions and were flying over the crowd, b) rather than cut power they tried to save the damaged and uncontrollable drones, or c) there was major radio interference and the drones aren’t setup to cut power when they lose signal and/or crash.
I never liked the taste of Pepsi, but at this point I’ve just stopped drinking all soda.
