That’s actually true, the American accent (excluding the southern accent) is the closest thing to the original English accent we know of.

The modern British accent and the Aussie accent that derived from it came to be in either the 19th or 20th century, I forget which.

On some level yes, but reading the article nothing persist between boots. This seems like a vulnerability that’s really only that serious A if you don’t apply AMDs patched micro code and B there’s another vulnerability on your system that lets this persist between operating system reinstall/in the BIOS.

But they are not the default option. And your new job may not use them.

Who cares if it’s the default? If it’s the best tool, use it.

It’s silly to have a reason for “going Rust” be the build system, especially in the context of something as new as a WASM context where basically any project is going to be green field or green field adjacent.

Exceptions is a non standard exit point. And by “non standard” I’m not talking about the language but about its surprise appearance not specified in the prototype. Calling double foo(); you don’t know if you should try/catch it, against which exceptions, is it an internal function that may throw 10 level deep ?

And that’s a feature not a bug; it gets incredibly tedious to unwrap or forward manually at every level.

By contrast fn foo() -> Result<f64, Error> in rRst tell you the function may fail. You can inspect the error type if you want to handle it. But the true power of Result in Rust (and Option) is that you have a lot of ergonomic ways to handle the bad case and you are forced to plan for it so you cannot use a bad value thinking it’s good:

You can do this in C++ https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/expected (and as I said, if you feel so inclined, turn off exceptions entirely); it’s just not the “usual” way of doing things.

I mean, maybe it’s not easy because they don’t provide debug information, but a sufficiently motivated person can debug a web assembly binary.

1. It’s statically compiled and isn’t dependent on system binaries and won’t break if there if the system has the wrong version like C/C++, allowing you to distribute it as a single binary without any other installation steps

You can do that with C++ too.

2. Still produces fairly small binaries unlike languages like Java or C# (because of the VM)

I mean, the jars are actually pretty small; but also I really don’t get the storage argument. I mean we live in a world where people happily download a 600 MB discord client.

3. Is a modern language with a good build system (It’s like night and day compared to CMake)

Meson exists … as do others.

4. And I just like how the language works (errors as values etc.)

Fair enough; though why? What’s wrong with exceptions?

I work in a code base where I can’t use exceptions because certain customers can’t use exceptions, and I regularly wish I could because errors as values is so tedious.

The minifiers have long made JavaScript just as indecipherable

I work in a small company that doesn’t hire hardly at all… Stories like this scare me because I have no way to personally quantify how common that kind of attitude might be.

The fediverse as most people on here would reference that term, isn’t really designed for what you’re looking for.

Matrix effective is what you’re looking for. The only alternative to that would be something like TeamSpeak 6, which is a closed federated chat system (that’s still not really fully baked).

Netflix is like the only one on Android I have that ISN’T opt-ed out.

Well it sounds like this is the thing for you! Haha

I installed it, but I’m probably just going to use it periodically. I really appreciate the website prioritization feature of Kagi … so it’s unfortunate that isn’t compatible.

You had me in the first half lol

Market share and yes, Proton/WINE ultimately lessens the need for a native Linux port.

In a fair number of cases, even when there is a native Linux port, Proton/WINE has worked better than the native game.

If Linux gets to 5-10% of the market, we’ll probably see them come back for platform specific optimization reasons. However, without a larger market share and with the translation being so good these days, there’s not a lot of need.

Yes, Trump trying to take Palestine for the US, possibly with US troops was preventable.

Was all loss of human life preventable? No, because the US Govt does not control Isreal but considers its relationship with Israel critical.

People need to get off their high horses and vote on the spectrum, not on single issues.

I didn’t like everything about Kamala but acting like not voting in protest was “the right thing to do” is not a good answer. I hate that our bombs were used on Palestinians, but people need to accept their protest vote moved things one step backwards.

You’re doing a lot of talking about “not driving a wedge”, but I didn’t drive a wedge. I voted for the clearly more qualified candidate, some others decided “I don’t like what that candidate has done for Israel, so even though I agree with her on so many other things, I’m not voting for her.”

The wedge is these idiotic purity tests the left keeps applying where “if you don’t agree on this particular issue, you’re not one of us, and you don’t get my vote.”

It’s obnoxious that these folks had the audacity to tell people “if you vote for Kamala you’re a horrible person because Palestinians will die.” You know who’s going to die because of their vote? Lots of people. Climate change and pollution kills. The destruction of the US AID office kills. Disease kills. Between the three, we may see many many more deaths than we can even fathom.

There’s no gloating here. This was a preventable escalation, but people played a moronic game and now we all have to live with the consequences.

I really want to know what all those folks on Lemmy that didn’t vote for Kamala because Biden wasn’t doing enough for Gaza think of this. We warned you.

I don’t know; it’s one of those weird things where digital “cost to copy” being cheap really makes things problematic.

Unlike BitTorrent you were giving away your access to that item and possibly never getting it back; we don’t really have a standard way of doing stuff like that in the digital era. The closest thing we have is very clunky, greedy, and intrusive DRM systems.

They also had subscriptions… And paywalls… You had to buy them from a newspaper stand or subscribe to have the paperboy deliver them…
