Is it too early to hang up Christmas decorations?

You mean “too late”, right? The deadline was like 2 weeks ago.

Anna’s archive, known for “open-sourced” books. They scraped spotify recently.

I have no idea why ground goes into the negative node, but it was the only plausible configuration, since the power simply has to come from the positive node, according to conventional current

Electronics are complicated. Ground = negative node in most circuits. Unless you have studied electronics explicitly, most prior explanations you have heard are just good enough approximatons for whatever thing it was about.

But free speech! It is our right as users to post hatespeech our own passwords!

I’d make a bug report for disabling this egregious censorship and lack of configuration options, but Lemmy’s development is on GitHub, eww.

My first chess puzzle, fun!

I use it everywhere: ************

Edit: How do you stop Lemmy censoring your password?

Some laptops have that. They’re completely impossible to circumvent, right?

It’s just basic statistics. Let’s say that 1 in 100 (murders are rare, as people usually don’t like killing) people kills someone, for one reason or another, like self-defense, money, revenge, war, paranoia, a quest, removing witnesses, minor annoyance or just general other+offence. Then, there are about 10-ish billiard bouillon bi-something people. Now, multiply the sample size by the probability and you get 10,00,00000,0000 deaths. That’s more than the population of a small country!

It’s still chess, so probably vertically?

まず、総理から前線へ。

I’m still learning japanese, but I think it translates to something like: “First, to the warzone, prime minister.”

I don’t remember having seen から used like that before, but I can’t think of anything else that would make sense.

Edit: fixed transcription.

Half the population worships a pedofile con ma who was born rich because they think he’s been chosen by god.

I can’t think of a pedophile who is worshipped by about 4 billion people right now. Mind telling who he is? Weird that I haven’t heard of someone so popular.

Does Chinese only have the one 1st person pronoun?

Well, a few niche topics are well/over represented. Linux & Communism are very niche in real life, at least in my experience, but quite well represented here.

Disclaimer: I’m learning Japanese & I don’t know Chinese.

It looks like the original character for the 3rf person pronoun is now the masculine pronoun & the female pronoun is made by substituting the person component (人, I don’t know how to type the left-component form) with the woman component (女).

Communism was previously provided by Marxism-Leninism, but it has been mostly unmaintained for a while, and was thus dropped from the latest Debian. Try the more actively developed Maoism fork.

You got the kernel from Debian’s official (read: central) repo, didn’t you? The decentralized mirrors exist for a reason, bootlicker!

No, I don’t want to “turn children on”.

If it were a magic lang item, you could treat the resulting value in a special way. Then, you could create an optimization pass for this situation: if a variable is assigned random in a loop and the loop can only be exited with a certain value, the compiler can coerce the magic rand value to it.

You could do a lot worse. If the type of i was an object, you could overload the negation operation to have side-effects for the third snippet, for example.

I don’t know what I was thinking.

But, if you borrow C’s semantics, you are allowed to “optimize” away side-effect-less loops, even if they would never terminate. But that would require the random method to be pure.
