I don’t think that makes things any better.

He has repeatedly stated during the campaign that he wants to use military action on people with opposing views (or “enemies from within” as he calls it). If that isn’t fascism, then I don’t know what is.

Good thing he’s not running for another term either.

If you’re siding with the more extremist candidate, then you’ve probably made up your mind to vote.

If you haven’t made up your mind yet, then you’re probably doubting about the more moderate candidate. The post is about setting aside those doubts and vote anyway.

The “it could be worse” is “US is having a president who’s fine with using military action against his political opponents”, aka dictatorship.

Not only are our heads in constant motion. Our eyes are also always in motion. We’re constantly, quickly and accurately shifting our attention to different points in our vision.

Reminds me of a YouTube video giving thorough advice on what you should do if you would ever time travel back to medieval Europe.

DS is like if Eurotruck Simulator had a story mode. And it’s about ghosts and babies.

From the original document:

Software manufacturers should build products in a manner that systematically prevents the introduction of memory safety vulnerabilities, such as by using a memory safe language or hardware capabilities that prevent memory safety vulnerabilities. Additionally, software manufacturers should publish a memory safety roadmap by January 1, 2026.

My interpretation is that smart pointers are allowed, as long it’s systematically enforced. Switching to a memory safe language is just one example.

If people don’t laugh at your offending joke it’s not a joke. It’s just offending.

I never thought the leopards would eat my face, says person voting for leopards eating faces party.

I can imagine Uncle Bob be proud of this Clean Code ™

My guess to why there’s two functions is because it was originally only internal, and the programmer realized they needed public as well, but changing internal to public is too scary so they created a new method instead.

Some person I just met at a party asked me if I have Asperger’s. He explained he has Asperger’s himself and just wondered.

I thought it was a rude remark of him. Especially since we barely know each other. I certainly don’t have Asperger’s.

This was some years ago.

Either way, I just got diagnosed.

Dreamcast had more games in its short lifespan than N64. The problem wasn’t software support.

I believe the problem was poor marketing. Especially after the failure of Saturn. Everybody was looking forward to PS2.

Apparently it’s super successful. Has made $3 billion within a year.

TAOCP is a misleading title. It shouldn’t be computer programming. It should be computer science.

For most people, programming is the engineering discipline. I think that’s a very different art form. Software engineers are rarely dealing with the type of problems TAOCP is concerned about.

There’s probably some truth in “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

The demo they showed is mostly a 1 hour cinematic with barely any gameplay. Fancy graphics, but if I want to watch a movie I watch a movie.
