> these people are quite literally fighting for less government control. How can that be construed as fascist?

At risk of derailing this thread... It's entirely possible for someone to fight against government control in specific areas of policy. If that person feels threatened they might become more strident in their views, and become more supportive of new policies that implemented their preferences 'firmly'.

I've rarely seen anyone support 'less government' in 100% of situations. When anyone's societal values are threatened (real or imagined) there will be demand for the government to do something about it. When people feel increasingly threatened, they support increasingly 'robust' politicians.

Having said all that, I agree that the word 'fascist' is unhelpful here.
> I'm not sure this bill is a good idea. Africa has a problem with witchcraft and human sacrifice.

They don't have a problem with actual witches though do they?

This is about killing children, and I doubt the bill here would prevent someone from accusing someone of killing a child.

This is about trafficking children, cutting and abusing them. All things you can accuse someone of.

Heads up to anyone that this is a disturbing read about a particularly horrible murder of a young boy.

I’ve seen a few of these. A family friend built a custom energy-efficient house in the ‘80s that is partly built into a hillside. The other main feature is automatic ventilation when exterior temperature/humidity conditions are favorable (basically just automatically opening windows using ‘80s-era home automation electronics). My guess is you don’t see more of these because the site-specific architect and engineering costs put it out reach for non-wealthy people, unless you have the skills to DIY much of it. Plus possible maintenance issues and building code and insurance hassles. Here’s a basic intro from the DoE: https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/efficient-earth-sheltered...

Rent control is a limit on margins. That makes it a declaration that builders can only scale up profits on volume, which is what is necessary anyway in regions that are largely built out but still massively short of supply. Which means that it’s aligned with the goals and even predicted dynamics to the point where it’s little more than a formalized constraint.

Complaining about it is basically an admission that either other more important factors are keeping supply from happening or that the purported market benefits if/when it does might not be real.

Quite possibly both. As far as I can tell even when there are no obstacles the market isn’t interested in adding supply to the point of diminishing marginal returns, and unit prices do not fall on supply movement, only demand drops.

I would check out Celeste or Shovel Knight. Neither is exactly the run and gun style of Contra or Jazz.

> When compiling and running a C program, the only thing that matters is "what the C abstract machine does". Programs that exhibit UB in the abstract machine are allowed to do "anything".

This view is alienating systems programmers. You're right that that's what the standard says, but nobody actually wants that except compiler writers trying to juice unrealistic benchmarks. In practice programmers want to alias things, they want to access unaligned memory, they want to cast objects right out of memory without constructing them, etc. And they have real reasons to do so! More narrowly defining how off the rails the compiler is allowed to go, rather than anything is a desirable objective for changing the standard.
Just n=1 but I grew up in the country playing in the woods, creeks, dirt, handling bugs and reptiles, surround by tons of flora and fauna. I rarely get sick and only have one allergy that I know of. Meanwhile it seems like many of my friends that grew up in the city proper always complain about allergies, getting sick, covid wrecked them, etc. I never caught covid either (I was vaxxed and boosted a couple times). I think there may be some truth to the exposure theory, especially for the youth
You could say that about a lot of topics. Heck you could say that chemistry is just an emergent phenomenon of physics.

The benefit of taking such a class or reading such a textbook is that these things have been studied extensively, we have good models for them, and it is useful to know because people are still doing fundamental research on it to this day or working on phenomena that are closely related.

In my Play Store experience, a modicum of trust is established merely over the icon. If I see an app and positively confirm that its icon is official and authentic, that's a good flag. If I search for something and I see a bunch of janky fake icons, then I avoid them all. Of course an icon is not the be-all-end-all; you need to check the publisher too, and reputable apps usually have Verified Publishers to go with them.

So that's why, even if your X app shows up in a search for the term "Twitter", if your app doesn't bear the officially-trademarked blue birdie icon, then everyone's going to squint and scoff at it, or not even notice it.

Awhile ago I was playing mobile games with a friend, and she has iPhone while I have Android. So part of the challenge was finding a cross-platform game. And many of them didn't have verified publishers or anything, so the best way to ensure that we both downloaded the same app was to show her the icon so that she could hunt for the same image in the App Store.

Icons are also becoming the default way of identifying apps on your system, too. While Android 11 still has text captions for icons on the Home screen, I find them superfluous. In fact, I've taken to creating folders and labeling them with several emoji, and no Latin text at all. I've also done this to my Bookmarks Bar: saves a lot of screen space!

This could be solved by using for..of in an asnyc function though.

It might look like surprsising behavior maybe, but putting the async keyword outside and looping without non-awaited callbacks is the only possible way to keep the semantics sound, no?

In other words, forEach would have to return a Promise too.
That's where the function coloring rightfully annoys programmers to catch their mistakes, there are if cause also lint rules for this.

You said electron sucked. That might be, but vidcutter, the subject of this thread, isn't proving your point. Just goes to show that who writes the code has more impact than the tech stack when it comes to such tools.

I don't know if all the numbers are accurate but it's true that vidcutter does weird things. I think it extracts ffmpeg to the temp directory on every start for whatever reason (it's not like it's a portable executable, it requires installation so why not extract it then?).

I can't explain why it uses more memory or how they managed to make it look alien despite using QT (so much for accusing electron of not looking native).
To be honest, I don't know, I've never heard of lossless-cut before. I've always just used VidCutter.

I switched to only one carby meal (not really carby but "typical carb levels") a day with the rest of the day and it has helped (by a very large margin). the fugue state I would always be in by the end of the work day (say 3 or 4). All my blood work, vitamin levels etc were fine. I just changed by diet. My doctor suggested I try low carb/keto (he's a fanatic over it), but I knew no way I could handle never having bread again so I chose the 3rd option of greatly reducing the number of carbs. Seems to have helped like with you. I am eating a lot more meat than I used to though, I try to stick mostly with white/brown meat and not so much beef/livestock, but everyone loves a good hamburger occasionally.
There are, of course, less friendly mobile sites. But this one is terrible because it "works" in a terrible way.
How complicated is it to learn a framework like React (which celebrated its 10 years 3 months ago) if you have a background in software engineering and some basic knowledge of HTML/JS? Like an afternoon to read the doc? 3 days to practice and be totally fluent? I managed graphic designers who knew nothing about computers but were able to learn React and be very productive.

The idea that React 10 years ago is the same as React today seems to be highly oversimplified. React was simple, then hooks were added, and state management fads that turned something simple and intuitive into an IQ signalling exercise. At least that was the case when I switched to back-end only dev a couple of years ago. And of course other parts of the stack also keep evolving: TypeScript (which is probably a positive, but again, I know people who do bizarre things with the language to build their "nerd cred").

Off the top of my head there was also Grunt/Gulp/Webpack/whatever is around now. NPM-Yarn->NPM. Angularjs->Angular 2.0+.

There’s certainly fields of math where I’ve seen a twist on the advice. Differential geometry, for example, is a big field with a lot of notation. Different textbooks end up using very different notations and covering non-overlapping sections of the field. Therefore, the advice I got was to not just do the problems, but translate the definitions and theorems into a unified notation that you feel is natural.

I assume the devs use it to prioritize bug fixes and to learn what game design works/doesn't. Knowing the % of players having difficulty with a dungeon etc. I don't see any harm in that, it could improve their next game. It's not like it's used or useful for targeted ads or something.

I recently learned of a spectacular example of this: The Forestiere Underground Gardens in Fresno:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forestiere_Underground_Gardens

> The Forestiere Underground Gardens in Fresno, California are a series of subterranean structures built by Baldassare Forestiere, an immigrant from Sicily, over a period of 40 years from 1906 to his death in 1946.

> Baldassare dug a small cellar to escape the summer heat. He was likely influenced by Roman catacombs and wine cellars he had seen in Italy. Finding it effective and comfortable, he carved a series of attached rooms and took up residence there. Baldassare then began experimenting with growing trees in underground chambers with skylights, and found that with care they would grow well, and being below ground protected them from frost.

Every time I read a post about the sublime nature of Lisp I end up feeling stupid. I read SICP and didn't really "get" it.

Forth gave me a little bit more of an "aha" moment, but still no enlightenment.

I have never used either language to actually build anything useful, so maybe that's part of it.
