We embedded third party auditors in that crypto exchange so I’m curious exactly how inscrutable tiktok really are.
I mean the accusations are that they’re too beyond oversight and we can’t confidently audit the data, so giving us a button to stop them when we can’t see what they’re doing would be a joke. But I’m skeptical that it’s as difficult to lock down their data as we make it seem.
Tiktok offered us the ability to shut them down? To avoid being shut down. By us. Woe to the vanquished I guess.
I would not want to sacrifice my time and energy making a product better just so a corporation can make more money or earn more kudos. And the higher ups definitely don’t want to invest more than they have to. Minecraft is just a product now.
The Shinzo Abe situations are always weird to me. One or more people decided to do this, in the sense that the buck stops somewhere.
It’s easy to find addresses, workplaces, family members, an itinerary.
It’s like in order to make it to these positions you need to have a defective brain that allows you to hurt lots of other people while ignoring how easy it is for one of them to reach out and touch you. I’d need constant anxiety meds.
There are tracing programs that let you see when a program makes system calls to read and write files, control hardware, etc. It might be easiest to run it and see what it does in a VM sandbox. Process Monitor looks like a strace equivalent on windows.
It’s new to me, I think it’s saying that your system is built up by you declaring what you want in a file, a single source that everything comes from.
It’s atomic because each action the system takes is carefully completed rather than bailing out and requiring you to fix something.
It’s immutable meaning you declare how you want things to be set up and then critical changes stem from those declarations and nothing else. You would obviously generate preferences, save data, etc. but the files that make the system / packages work are carefully locked.
It’s like the concept of flatpaks + structured system defining + modern common sense OS operations?
And because corporations aren’t people, here’s the CEOs that ran things during 2014:
Hans Vestberg (b 1965) Verizon
Randall Lynn Stephenson (b 1960) AT&T
Glen F Post (b 1952) CenturyLink
We let these people act with impunity in our society but it doesn’t need to be this way. Look at how Elon, who thrives on attention, flips out over being tracked and heckled. They stole hundreds of billions from us but we don’t even act like it.
No problem. I’m no guru and I’m currently on Zig but I think learning some Rust is a really fast way to hone skills that are implied by other languages.
You could have support for this thing in the board’s software, but I don’t think it’s common. So normally, where a post will have at least a header, sometimes also a footer, multiple posts means duplicated data on screen. Pretty minor though.
I think it fragments the workflow a bit because normally you can just quote a block and easily interject your replies + add more quote syntax. If it were multiple posts you’d need to repeat certain steps each time. Personally I want to minimize switches between keyboard and mouse. On mobile it’s more even.
I see both styles here and there. It might be too much if multiple posts were the norm but when it’s occasional it really doesn’t matter to me. I’d rather you do what feels natural.
S. Korean government is the woman before ~20 seconds, N. Korean government is the woman after that point, and I guess regular citizens are like the people in the diner.
Fighting is one thing, poop is another.
You use lifetimes to annotate parameters and return values in order to tell the compiler about how long things must last for your function to be valid. You can link a specific input with the output, or explicitly separate them. If you don’t give lifetimes the language uses some basic rules to do it for you. If it can’t, eg it’s ambiguous, then it’s a compile error and you need to do it manually.
It’s one of the harder concepts of rust to explain succinctly. But imagine you had a function that took strA and strB, used strB to find a subsection of strA, and then return a slice of strA. That slice is tied to strA. You would use 'a annotation for strA and the return value, and 'b for strB.
Rust compiler will detect the lifetime being shorter than expected.
Also, ownership semantics. Think c++ move semantics. Only one person is left with a good value, the previous owners just have garbage data they can’t use anymore. If you created a thing on the heap and then gave it away, you wouldn’t have it anymore to free at the end. If you want to have “multiple owners” then you need ref counting and such, which also stops this problem of premature freeing.
Edit: one more thing: reference rules. You can have many read-only references to a thing, or one mutable reference. Unless you’re doing crazy things, the compiler simply won’t let you have references to a thing, and then via one of those references free that thing, thereby invalidating the other references.
Not going to X (or any wrappers) but I’m curious what “supported games” means. Because I would expect that it’s actually “games that support timeline markers” like how they integrate rich presence. Devs could just use a new header and implement this nifty feature.
It’s a lot of work making stuff up just to have your spiritual alcohol.
Nearly all guns will have a legal upstream source, so it stands to reason that taxes can directly impact people selling guns used in crimes, indirectly impacts those who sell them under the table, extracts money from gun owners who as a class aren’t being as responsible as they should, and fundamentally reduces the amount of guns in circulation.
I don’t see a negative. It’s foss so you ought to be relaxed about others using your code. The issues are probably just articulating problems that were already there. If it’s stuff you don’t care about… it’s a foss repository so you just ignore it.
Essentially, they needed a list of things their target audience would eat up. Then they included the minimum amount of content required to say they had those things. (Remember, Trump et al are cheap as hell.)
It’s like an anthology saying, “We have Anne Rice! Stephen King! Issac Asimov!” and then it’s just one novella from each. But the customer just wants a book with those names on the front so it’s fine.
Based on the headline I got the impression that the bible was excluding these two amendments. As in, their absence was jarring in the presence of the other amendments.
The truth is that they left out 17 amendments. Because it’s Trump. It’s aimed at people who don’t care about the Constitution. The customers just want the greatest hits, the big names.
Misleading headline aside, here’s what the they actually omitted (aka here’s a truth which doesn’t leave anything out.)
Can’t sue a state unless you live there.
Structures electing presidents / VPs.
Slavery is banned except when it isn’t.
Born on US soil == you’re 'Merican, Harry.
Suffrage regardless of race.
Taxes.
Structures electing senators.
Prohibition good!
Suffrage regardless of sex.
Specifies length for Presidential / VP terms.
Prohibition bad!
The two term limit for Presidents.
Gives D.C. electors.
You can vote even if you didn’t pay taxes.
Formalized the VP succeeding a dead president.
Voting age set to 18.
That time when Congress took 200 goddamn years to impose a restriction on their salary.
This makes some sense as all foods are salads; sandwiches are untossed salads, tacos are untossed taco salads.
Oh, your god said we should do that? But my god is a super god times infinity and he says the opposite.
Just goes to show you that for every kid that is mature for their age, there’s 100s of adults that never left the playground.
I meant that if someone made multiple replies within some time threshold, similar to how ‘this post has been edited’ works, the board could automatically join them into one post, maybe with a little indication that it’s concatenated. You could even make it config option for users.
