If the point of Lemmy is just to generate as many comments as possible with everyone just assuming whatever they want about linked articles without reading them I’ll quickly leave again. I’m here for informed discussion, not for a competition in generating engagement
except for c++ it was just to avoid a single function call, not extra indirection. also on modern compilers size() will get inlined and ultimate instructions generated by the compiler will likely be the same
why comment if you don’t even want to read the article? python lists are not linked lists, they’re contiguous with a smart growth strategy.
good thing about the terminal is it scares most general users so much that they won’t touch it even with instructions. There will be many issues, but I don’t think people running random commands in the terminal will be common
the problem is that there’s people out there who in the analogy don’t know how to drive a car, defend it by saying ‘I’m just not a car person’, and constantly ask to be driven around when a major part of their job is driving a car. somehow when it comes to computers employers tolerate this
you could have progressive taxes on wealth as well. there’s a difference between having one house worth 500k and having 500 million in shares
this right here is the issue, people don’t even remember the size smartphone used to be. I’ve got a phone that’s one of the smallest available that still have decent hardware. the screen is still 6.1 inch. your example of a reasonable size is 6.3 inches.
what op and I are actually looking for is something around 5 - 5.3 inches instead, like smartphone used to be. For that size, all that is available today is no-name chinese phones with shit hardware and no support. the big brands are busy selling 6.2 inches as “compact” where it used to be considered phablet size
haaave you heard about our lord and saviour Typst?
same layout algorithm as LaTeX, but:
To be a positive impact, they just need to be less carbon intensive thans the energy they displace. According to the first results on google, (presumably utility-scale) solar is about 12 times less carbon intensive than natural gas and 20 times compared to coal. So as long as you’re replacing base load and not utility solar, balcony solar could be as much as 10 times less efficient and still come out a net positive.
Keep in mind also that these numbers keep improving as solar panel manufacturing becomes more efficient and starts using more green energy itself over the coming decades
is this a reference to something in particular? confused non-USian here…
I’ll be damned, a PC part that’s cheaper in Europe than the us? first for everything I suppose. it’s 95 euro here, including VAT
it works great on desktop using mouse too
are you seriously blaming conservatives for something that the progressives of the time championed?
I think or rather hope he confused vacation days with bank holidays.
hard disagree about the permissions. If I want to run closed source programs like games, discord, zoom or whatever, I like knowing they can’t log all my keys, take screenshots or even run their own version of windows recall without my explicit permission
