Considering that he doesn't have functioning arms... Probably.

Blind brand loyalty to something you don't enjoy is a waste of your precious time on earth

If the GOP wanted to counterattack, they could always start funding hyper-progressive candidates too 🙂

I'd honestly prefer raw parroting in most cases, even if it's "obviously" wrong. I don't want people selectively interpreting the facts as have been conveyed to them, unless they're prepared to do a proper peer review.

Though btw, I also think it's fascinating the difference if you look up Pyhäsalmi Mine gravitricity "2 MW" vs Pyhäsalmi Mine gravitricity "2MW"

You'll get different articles entirely

I googled Pyhäsalmi Mine gravitricity "2 MW" and EVERY article covering this has also cited 2 MW.

Now, under Occam's Razor, what's more likely:

1. Absolutely none of the article writers have any clue what the difference between a MW and a MWh is because none of them remember any physics
2. Some of them could suspect that it's wrong, but an authoritative source of the claim wrote/said 2 MW capacity when they meant "2 MW peak generation" or "2 MWh storage" (I'd presume Gravitricity, but I'm struggling to find such a source, myself)
3. One writer miswrote/misquoted as per 2, and everyone is mindlessly recycling that original article's contents with no attribution or care.

I don't know which one it is. But I'd generally lean against 1.

As a Bay area native, I've never encountered worse drivers than the entire state of Maryland.

Right?? To let your website be susceptible to that kind of act by anyone means that you probably didn't really care about security in the first place, so much as just getting the magic lock icon happy.

go fmt has been a thing for almost 11 years

No, it absolutely wasn't, as can testify anyone who actually had to work with it: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/the-death-of-adobes-flash-is-lingering-not-sudden/

There are lots of good reasons to get rid of Flash. Browser makers say it's a top sore spot for security, performance and shorter battery life.

Usability means a few things in this context—simplicity, ease of use, convention, and accessibility. Flash was none of those things. It took the blank-canvas approach to creativity—which was great for the artists and illustrators that originally made up its target audience, but morphed into numerous other forms that it wasn’t necessarily designed for. It fell into overuse and quickly became abused by others.

I do think it sped up the demise of Flash on the web considerably.

That's unironically an innovation right there

So others have already talked about how great Star Trek is. I agree with them, but I think that literally everyone has missed the point of your question:

It's its own lemmy instance. It was spawned from the migration away from reddit, and it's stayed alive since. So combine an active former-reddit community with lemmy and a good reason to all rally around, and finally the final ingredient of federation, and the Star Trek related rooms will always be on every server, and they'll always be populated.

Thank you for actually attempting to answer the question instead of just spouting the knee-jerk reaction of "it's bullshit".

And yes, maybe it is bullshit. Maybe they'll never end up actually offsetting their carbon footprint. Maybe they'll think they are, but end up getting scammed out themselves. Last Week Tonight did a great piece on Carbon Offsets on that whole subject.

Yeah, considering how in-your-face this popup was, I can't really take someone seriously when they just say that it was "opt-out"...

Like, I get it on a technicality. But c'mon.

Fuck's sake, people. Gitlab already didn't allow search unless you were logged in.
This ain't enshittification.

Fully agreed, hence the "most" :^)

I very rarely care for what most 62 year olds have to say about the capabilities about the theoretical limits of computation.

This isn't much different.

Depending on whether this code is in a hotpath (and considering how "elementary" it is, I figure that's a possibility), this could very well be a significant speed improvement.

Though I'd say that only excuses it if it's truly an elementary function (and not one line as part of a larger function), as otherwise it's unreadable garbage. But on its own it:

• has a clear purpose
• (presumably) isn't reimplementing functionality
• is easily tested
• can be modified with no side effects (besides breaking your calendar, but that's beside the point)

Right? Like, I felt like I was missing the punchline here.

I actually bought the second edition of Mastering Nim paperback the other day! Should be arriving tomorrow, hopefully.

I had fun dogfooding my interview problem in it, I feel like it's basically step forward as far as modern syntaxes go.
