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

I think Ukraine should definitely join, but right now we desperately need to reform the veto system before taking any more members

yeah I think I’d agree with that, hut I’m risk-averse myself so can’t go pointing blame at others

at least the fragmented markets, limited venture capital and closed-mindedness of established compagnies are relatively well known and recognised, wouldn’t say Europeans aren’t ready to hear it

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

maybe they like the look?

definitely don’t run towards them if they have a knife though. although I wouldnt know what to do against a knife wielding attacker if I couldnt run away in general

looks like normal variation in a persons lettering to me. compare the k in textbook with the k in skibidi, almost the same. distances between letters and especially risers as well are similar between the two sections.

amazing comment, thanks!

he did mention isolationist, so… we’d also have to consider how the eastern front would have evolved without lend-lease. not a historian so perhaps consensus is the Nazis still wouldn’t have had a chance, but still

clueless dev who very rarely touches web apps here, what things would break if you dont touch other records besides those for tour website?

apart from solar and batteries, they also seem to be doing quite well on wind and train infrastructure

true, but try making a half decent PC for the price of one console

it’s far too fast for residential areas, even for access roads they should probably be restricted to 30mph until you get out of the residential area. The main problem is of course the high speeds are dangerous, discouraging mixed use of roads in residential areas. it’s one of the reasons americans in suburbs can’t imagine walking somewhere, along with zoning law issues of course.

it’s really part of a couple of interconnected issues with american suburb design (in my opinion as a non-american who has only visited some suburbs in the us)

what is crazy is 45mph stroads in the suburbs
