At some point it starts sounding like an amateur mumble rap cover of the Pillar Men theme.

I don’t find it confusing at all. The function doesn’t test equivalence, and the return value is not meant to be a logical value.

That’s not the truth. It’s one of infinitely many truths. They hated him because Jesus didn’t understand how implicit type casting between int and bool worked.

tldr is the application you need.

They were probably trying to run out the warranty period. (for legal reasons, this is speculation)

Not exactly. It splits the terminal into multiple tiles and each one contains a different Hacker screen. Anything from Matrix-style falling characters to echoing a random manpage to a filesystem tree to a character graphic world map.

Since the article fails to link it (and also reads like slop), here is the actual publication: https://commission.europa.eu/document/8af13e88-6540-436c-b137-9853e7fe866a_en

The title is gross clickbait. The EU is not banning virtual currencies, but introducing informing publishers of regulations guidelines to ensure the user is informed of their real monetary value, and that deceptive or unfair pricing practices are avoided.

I use Linux because the Windows normies recoil from my computer in fear whenever I open the terminal, like a school of fish around a shark. Sometimes I even open htop if I want the office to myself.

a lot of younger devs like it and thus it will attract their contributions.

You get it! That is probably the biggest “soft” factor for why I want to see Rust proliferate. Nobody wants to learn C! It’s an ancient, cumbersome language that is difficult to use in a secure way. I’ve been both a student and an employee at a university with many programming-related classes, and beyond the absolute basics of memory management, nobody does anything in C, or even C++. It’s almost always C#, Java, Javascript, or Python. No Rust yet because most of our teachers are also geriatrics.

Linux (and FOSS in general) has an age issue. Prolific older developers are leaving their projects or transitioning to less code-focused tasks, and the ranks are not being filled. Prospective young developers simply bounce off projects because of steep entry requirements, and the active resistance of anti-Rust evangelists (the likes of Christoph Hellwig for example) doesn’t help either.

Some of their 13th and 14th generation CPUs have manufacturing defects that resulted in oxidation. In some use cases (servers and such), failure rates sometimes reached 50%. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVdmK1UGzGs

who are very loud

Most of the “should we or should we not” discourses/dramas I’ve read about were initiated or escalated by the anti-Rust crowd. They seem to be a lot more vocal (not to mention impolite) about their opinions than actual Rust developers.

The bane of Intel CPUs, and a trigger word for C geriatrics.

Skelly is rapidly approaching your location.

tl;dr: some applications (like Bottles) are designed to run only in sandboxed environments. Flatpak is a robust way to ensure that an application has the correct dependencies and conditions for proper functionality.

I’m using a monospace font, am I a hacker yet?

The y stands for “yoink the database”.

/s

I think they either just ran out of letters, or y was seen as reinforcing the action (as in “yes, download the database too”), with yy being an even stronger action (“yes, download the database even if there’s nothing to update”).

“When something is made idiot-proof, they will just make better idiots.”

Arch presumes that the user has some familiarity with CLI tools and can read documentation. You couldn’t even install it without using the terminal until archinstall became a thing. If it’s an issue, Arch is the wrong OS for you.

Besides:

• pacman -S - synchronises packages between the remote and local repo.
• pacman -Q - queries the local repo.
• pacman -R - removes packages.
• pacman -F - queries the files of a package.

Et cetera.

Did you hallucinate that I said anything like it or something? Obviously not every situation is solved by the same concept. Dense city centres – sidewalks, bike paths, trams, human-scale infrastructure. Suburban areas – abolish Euclidean zoning, European-style grid streets, buses, local light rail services. Inter-city transit – high-speed rail. Smaller villages and towns – regional rail. It’s an issue that most of the developed world has solved.

Public transit is not supposed to replace cars altogether, but give people another choice. A transit system that is built well, operated well, and cheap, will reduce the reliance on cars, and make the streets safer for people or services that have to use cars.

Uh, yes, actually. I know someone like you can’t even fathom the possibility of a public transit system being well-built because you’ve been gaslit into believing that whatever happens in The West is the best humanity can offer, but we’ve got 80 bus and trolley lines criss-crossing the city. As a guesstimate, three quarters of the city is within a 10-minute walk from a stop, and the elderly and disabled who can’t walk benefit from the resulting reduction in traffic.

Yes it does, if done properly. I have stops for four bus lines within walking distance. During peak hours, buses come once every 15 minutes. Trolleys in the city centre, every 10 minutes. Trams, every two minutes, and always packed. Most of the surrounding villages have bus stops. A lack of perspective is not an excuse.
