Yup. The best strategy is to lie down and spread out, with your hands under your head. The bigger the contact area between your body and the floor, the better. But good luck doing that while falling.

aggelalex,

Hold on let me change my type of pp real quick

Slams bathroom door

aggelalex,

1 looks so chocolatey

aggelalex,

DOUBLE SUICIDE?!

aggelalex,

Python is by far the clown, especially against JS

Alpha Release [v0.2.4]

Hey everyone, I know it’s been a while since the last Thunder general release, but it is finally here! As always, there have been many improvements, additions, changes and fixes in this release which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the...

aggelalex,

Updated!

aggelalex,

No. The only bigger problem I have with the first image is permanence; the situation in the second picture is easier to clean up.

aggelalex,

F3!!!

aggelalex,

8 years on Linux, and I sure as hell am not as enthusiastic as I was, but that freed me from the distrohopping curse.

aggelalex,

Classical music is still looking down at you from above. Kaikhosru Sorabji especially. He wrote a piece for piano that lasts 8 to 9 hours.

aggelalex,

“Figure out how I’m gonna be completely happy and healthy for the rest of my life and then we can discuss chemotherapy”

That’s now how you fix things. Relinquishing capitalism doesn’t mean Stalinism, nor communism to be honest.

aggelalex,

Have you seen the hold France and Russia keep in Africa?

  • The CFA Franc still exists in Africa, even though France uses the euro and is an EU country. France enjoys a de facto veto on the boards of two banks of the CFA Franc zone.
  • Those “Wagner” pieces of shit were doing business in Africa before they went to Ukraine.

If that’s not imperialism, I don’t know what is.

aggelalex,

I’ve given up long ago, now I just write önsdag and whoever gets it gets it

aggelalex,

So, if I’m paying only for IDEA, I’m stuck in java and kotlin and have to pay extra to write rust? You know rust code intelligence is just as good in VSCode right? For Free?

aggelalex,

Virtual Machines.

aggelalex,

No

aggelalex,

Just say “no”

aggelalex,

Doesn’t seem bummed out about it. Not in the slightest.

aggelalex,

Tails! Maybe try the paranoid side. You can use it on any computer, it will leave no evidence behind.

aggelalex,

Suddenly I became Elon’s subject?

“Shoot a brother” lmao

What to learn next, Swift or Rust

I’ve been programming for decades, though usually for myself, not as a profession. My current go-to language is Python, but I’m thinking of learning either Swift (I’m currently on the Apple ecosystem), or Rust. Which one do you think will be the best in terms of machine learning support in a couple of years and how easy is...

aggelalex,

Swift has little to no use outside the apple ecosystem, and even if you are currently using Apple, you have to consider your targets as well. Writing in Swift means your code will only be usable by other Apple users, which is canonically a rather small fraction of technology users. Rust on the other hand is multiplatform and super low level, there’s very few other languages out there that can match the potential of applications of rust code. Thus you will, in time, be introduced to many other technologies as well, like AI/ML, low level programming, web, integrations between languages, IoT, those are only a few of all the possibilities. On the other hand, even if Swift has a much more mature ecosystem, it’s still only good for creating UIs in all things Apple, which is pretty telling; Apple is not willing to put in the time and effort to open it’s language to other fields, because it sees no value in them being the ones providing the tooling for other purposes. They pretty much only want people to code web apps for them, and Swift delivers just fine for that. So if your current purpose is making Apple UIs, you could learn Swift, but be warned that either you’ll either be doing that your whole life or will eventually be forced to change languages again.

Then again, most languages nowadays aren’t that different from each other. I can code in a truckload of languages, not because I actually spent time making something coherent and complete with each one of them, but because I know some underlying concepts that all programming languages follow, like OOP, or functional programming, and whatever those entail. If you learn those you will not be afraid to switch languages on a whim, because you’ll know you can get familiar with any of them within a day.

I think you don’t know what garbage collection is. Allocations and Deallocations is how the heap works in memory, and is one of the two main structures in it, the stack being the other one. No matter what language you are using, you cannot escape the heap, except if you don’t use a modern multitasking OS. ARC is a type of garbage collection that decides when to free a reference after it is allocated (malloc), by counting how many places refer to it. When it reaches 0, it frees the memory (free). With ARC you don’t know when a reference will be freed on compile time.

In Rust, the compiler makes sure, using the Borrow checker, that there is only one place in your entire program where a reference can be freed, so that it can insert the free call at that place AT COMPILE TIME. That way, when the program runs there is no need for a garbage collection scheme or algorithm to take care of freeing up unused resources in the heap. Maybe you thought the borrow checker runs at compile time, taking care of your references, but that’s not the case, the borrow checker is a static analysis phase in the Rust compiler (rustc). If you want to use a runtime borrow checker, it exists, it’s called RefCell, but it’s not endorsed to use. Plus, when you use RefCell, you also usually use Reference Counting (Rc RefCell)

aggelalex,

Pretty much, with some atomic additions like “you cannot mutate a reference when it is borrowed immutably elsewhere” or “you cannot borrow a reference mutably multiple times”.

aggelalex,

BASED!

Companies that put extra unnecessary incentives to preorders only to never actually deliver something good on those orders deserve this, if not worse.

aggelalex,

I’ve successfully moved to LibreTube and its fucking bliss.

aggelalex,

You’ve met Ether, now meet Urether.

aggelalex,

I think it’s probably illegal to sell anything, especially food, without being registered with the required services like the IRS or the FDA.

aggelalex,

It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that’s all I have :-(.

Famous last words

aggelalex,

How about no?

aggelalex,

C# isn’t that difficult to learn. Don’t be overwhelmed by languages or frameworks, they aren’t so different from each other.

aggelalex,

The new one looks so much better than that overdetailed crap, I don’t want a painting, I want an easily discernable icon. Also, I can’t believe we’re still doing Firefox so many years after its new logo debuted, especially since Thunderbird just changed their logo. In my opinion, it seems like people are just reiterating the same joke some bloke did without even looking up the why and how. And before you ask, yes I prefer the new Thunderbird logo too, it’s much more discernable.

aggelalex,

Cameras with microphones. Once a loud vehicle is detected the license plate has to be photographed.

aggelalex,

Well then fight back. Relinquish your phone first, as it’s the easiest thing to.

aggelalex, (edited )

As someone who knows a bit more about privacy in networking than watching the sponsored bits in YouTube videos, I agree with the examples you posed, but there are other technologies to fix your DNS leaking to your ISP. One of them being DNS over HTTPS. It’s default in Firefox, and pretty hard to crack just like any other HTTPS query. All your ISP can know is that you’re potentially making a DNS query. Another option is a local DNS server cache. Choose some domains you wanna be able to access, and diligently update your local cache using HTTPS from existing DNS servers every fortnight. Your DNS queries will never escape your LAN.

aggelalex,

Well yeah, you cannot completely cut deduction off the table. Not even in the real world. The fact though that the internet makes it easier is of course true. Even Tor is vulnerable to deduction-based MITM attacks using nodes that log activity. Nowadays though I think it matters less and less what you access, since everything in the internet has been reduced to a handful of huge websites (fucking SEO). If you’re in one of them, I doubt DNS info are going to be much of any use, apart from them having accessed Facebook, or YouTube. When I’m doing stuff I want hidden though, tor and DoH are a must.

aggelalex,

Just like I said on an older, similar post

thalasin+ vibes.

aggelalex,

BRB gonna get some nage real quick

aggelalex,

Speed, and by extension momentum, is relative. I’m sorry, but Einstein got you.

aggelalex, (edited )

Relative to the train, and by extension the portal, the people are moving towards it at the same speed as the train relative to the ground, since the people are tied to the ground. I’m gonna work with the definition of momentum that equals it to the velocity of an object times its mass, and with the assumption that the portals conserve mass and momentum of the objects during teleportation, or with negligible losses. Having found that the momentum stays constant, and given the mass before and after teleportation is constant, the velocities relative to the portal are gonna be constant too. (p1=p2 <=> mv1=mv2 <=> v1=v2). And since the velocity of the people relative to the portal is the velocity is the train relative to the ground, and the velocity of the train relative to the ground is far bigger than the velocity of the people relative to the ground, the answer is gonna be B, where the people shoot out of the portal with great speed.

If the people actually go into the portal and not under it that is.

aggelalex,

The front part of the pole wouldn’t pull the back part of the pole more so than in any normal contiguous space. If you send a pole flying from the front and catch it mid-flight from the back stopping its motion, you’ll have to apply a force opposite in direction to the motion of the pole, and by Newton’s third law (every action has an equal and opposite reaction) it’s gonna pull you towards the direction it’s moving by reactionary force while decelerating.

In the case if moving portals, it might be a bit confusing, but what it comes to teleportation through the portals, the portals are absolutely stationary the world around them moves. And in the case only one of the two portals move relative to the ground, not only does the world move relative to both portals, it also deforms in a non-euclidean manner. That is why the pole that was stationary relative to the ground suddenly started moving after coming out the portal. And yes, it would require massive amounts of energy for the portal to function like that and keep its own momentum relative to the ground after teleporting things, but tbh that’s a woe for Aperture science, not mine 🙂

aggelalex,

You just strip

aggelalex,

2015 called, it wants its trends back

Virgin normies call them “Bishops,” chad OP calls them “Doctors”
