Sometimes you can't not have a god class (struct in this case). When doing UI specifically, I always end up with one.

You can try using encapsulation to reduce the amount of fields technically, but in the end it's the same amount of information in a single god class.

The comment you replied to originally was talking about why billionaires should support a democratic society.

If the society is not democratic, it would be authoritarian. Therefore what I explained could happen.

A billionaire cannot exist in 2 countries at the same time. It doesn't matter if his company is multinational, he isn't.

If you jail that billionaire, which is not hard as a state if said billionaire resides in your country, you can "convince" him to give even assets in foreign countries.

That's why they removed his passport.

To anyone unfamiliar with Spain politics, it might not be even noticed.

But it is incredible that the party with most scandals and corruption (PP) claims that they'll party will do less corruption than them. Why don't the media give attention to other parties that have less corruption than PSOE instead of the masters of corruption PP?

We no longer live in a 2-party country.

What chat? Is that a mastodon feature?

I can block .ml communities in my GUI. But I can't block its users, unless I go 1 by 1. Blocking the communities is big, but not enough.

Most legislation is not done through petitions like these.

The EU is composed of tens of countries with very different cultures. And plenty of parties.

In the US there are only 2 parties. And they mostly vote in favour of whatever their party wants.

Having multiple parties means that it is very rare for a single party to have 50% of the vote. Which means they have to make agreements constantly. Which is very time consuming.

Let's say you have parties ABCDEF. Parties A and B are big, the other small.

Party A wants to make a law. It either needs help of B, or 2 of the small parties. Parties BC are immediately opposed. So it has to convince D, E or F. D will only support it if they can pass another bill. That other bill is a deal breaker for E and F.

Now A's only option are E and F. So if they want to have that bill passed, they'll have to give E and F whatever they want. Which probably A doesn't want. So even though A is a big party, it is impossible for them to pass that bill.

So you're saying that GTA VI is only going to be used by the developers?

And how does tech companies putting AI results on every interaction of mine count as a user? I never read their bullshit, yet it's all over my screen, wasting both insane amounts of energy and valuable screen space.

Ignoring the shitty quick maths. Those are energy costs of employing people. Those programmers and artists won't stop needing AC and a computer if you get rid of the videogame industry, they'll move to another industry with AC and computers.

The supreme court gave total immunity to the president while Biden was president. He didn't use it a single time.

I don't know how hackaday works. Is literally anyone allowed to write articles full of non-factual information?

Rust: has stronger typing than C. This guy: I don't like rust since it's weakly typed.

Also this guy: doesn't uses cargo because it downloads from the internet without taking the 5 seconds of research to know that --offline exists.

Also this guy: I don't like that rust calls C unsafe. It's safer than assembly.

The guy is just dumb as rocks.

Seeing this I think now it's more than half the US.

Probably they'll point at this and say "finally, a politician that does what he promises, I should vote for him next time"

I'm not talking about the technical possibility. Of course you can have multiple video stream, one per participant.

I'm saying that without multicast, it can be more resource intensive than having intermediate servers that can multicast on the application layer.

Is a connection between 3+ people still p2p? Or is there another term for it?

I don't know how this would work over the internet though.

On a LAN you could use multicast, but I don't think ISPs support multicast, it seems like it would be an easy way to DoS. But I honestly don't know.

So, if you can't multicast, the way to have serverless multi-user video calls would be to have a separate video feed for each receiver, which I can see using more resources than through a server that would replicate the stream to all the receivers. Of course this is dependant on distance, even without multicast it consumes more resources if everyone is in the same LAN.

I watched it for the first time recently. He just kept making the dumbest decisions every time. He's supposed to be a super genius, yet I would've chosen most of the decisions better.

The only explanation is that he's bored and wants to make things difficult, but that is not what's portrayed in the anime at all. It's just what I came up with to explain his horrible decisions.

If you're biking at the appropriate speed for being near pedestrians, you don't need to alert of your presence because you are no danger.

You only need to alert your presence if you're going faster than what is safe to do, which is being a dick and pedestrians are right to be mad at you.

It was nice to learn of all this bullshit. Thank you.

Yeah. It is clearly possible. I don't know why I read it as 60th percentile instead of 60% of median

After reading my comment. You are right, it is not impossible.

However, it still is not a good indicator for minimum wage.

IMO, minimum wage should be based on expenses. That is, it should cover what you need to live a decent life.

That definition is based on other's income. Imagine you live in a country where housing is 1€/month and food is 0.10€/month. The rest of the costs scale accordingly. Yet it is an incredibly rich country and the median income is 10000€/year. Would you say that a yearly wage of 120€/year is risk-of-poverty? It's 0.001% of the median income, yet it can provide for 10 years of housing in 1 year of work.
