How do they still have money
They are printing it.... 18% inflation...
And with a bit of namespacing and/or object orientation and usage of dots, it becomes perfectly readable.
There are also camel case and underscores in other languages...
BTW: How on earth should a newcomer know that the letter "n" in that word stands for number without having to google it? The newcomer could even assume that it's a letter of the word string..... And even, if you know that it stands for number, it's still hard for me to understand what it means in this context... I actually had to google it... But that's probably some C++ convention I don't know about, because I don't program in C++.....
Why are they even named like this?
When I read code, I want to be able to read it.....
Is this from a time when space was expensive and you wanted to reduce the space of the source files on the devs PC???
For me (with a native language != english), this made it a lot harder to get into programming in the first place.
There are open groups on Telegram in which people post that they want to see person XY dead... Everyone who joins the open group can read it anyway.
They decided not to moderate this and not to delete illegal content once reported, although it's easily possible without breaking encryption.
IMO, this has not much to do with privacy.
This is like posting that we should kill someone on Reddit and nothing is happening.
Contamination via Selfie? I hope, they recover well....
That's just a camp fire of the 43th Russian Bingo Brigarde to distract "the Ukrainian enemy"!!!!!!1111
Da fehlt noch das typische "Ich habe das Ganze dann mit Käse überbacken, weil der weg musste"
Well, with permission from the corresponding ministry, it's allowed as long as the local government does not veto it.
Thanks, did not know about this.
So, from a technical view....
There is a person who is mad about the fact that a different opinion might exist... That person clicks downvote in their app and it does not have any effect??
Or are the downvotes still broascasted to all instances, but "my new" instance just ignores them? Just curious, how dislikes enabled and disabled both work in a decentralized system....
Showing upvoters and removing downvotes completely!!
People downvote totally harmless posts and comments, just because they have a different opinion.
This useless and contraproductive negativity is the reason why YouTube removed downvotes and many other platforms never offered such a feature.
Imagine, you destroyed the GDP of your country by -75% in 8 years and seriously think that you are not done yet and are the solution.
That's probably true, but just to highlight this: Bitcoin is not untraceable
Well, there are countries like Turkey with a currency that lost 95% of its value during the last 10 years. In such countries, Bitcoin is a way to have a currency that does not have a guarantee to ruin you. When your country has 60% inflation like Turkey, the deflation currency might be seen as a gift. So, this might be a legal use case..
The people's republic of Kursk?
Let's ignore crypto for a second...
People in the USA loose around $10.000.000.000 per year to scams according to FTC...
And for donations to Wikileaks, we don't want the government to be able to reverse or block them. That's what PayPal did with then before Bitcoin was invented.
I don't think that Bitcoin can or should replace the current system, but it can be an addition for rarer cases.
But yes: Most of the other blockchain stuff is just completely useless and therefore not used.
Da manche Leute (u.a. meine eigene Familie) Russland für eine große Wirtschaftsmacht halten, und unser Land gerne lächerlich machen, hier ein bisschen Mathematik:
Das BIP von Russland beträgt ca. 2.2 Billionen Dollar.
Das BIP von NRW, Bayern und Baden-Württemberg beträgt zusammen auch ca. 2.2 Billionen (plus/minus 2-3 Saarländer 😉, je nachdem wie aktuell die Zahlen sind)
Ja, das kleine Deutschland ist wirtschaftlich stärker als Russland. USA, China, Indien, Frankreich und GB übrigens auch...
Russland ist eine Tankstelle mit Atomraketen.

Imagine, your are a Java developer with multiple years of experience in the job. You really like working with the language.
Your employer kind of canceled most of the Java projects of the company over time and is now really focused on AI...... And AI means here: LLMs, GPT, ... Not like basic Machine learning... It's all about language models. Most of this stuff and the tools are written in Python and your employers wants you to kind of throw away your pretty good Java skills completely and start over in Python.
The new tasks would be kind of "easy"... You have to prototype "LLM bots". And that's your perspective for like at least 1.5 years. No, not real software development.. Prototyping... And that means, quick and dirty is what they want... It's also very easy to impress your employer with GPT doing things. Easy money, isn't it?
I'm in this exact situation right now and worried.. What, if I quit in 2 years and the new potential employer for a Java job asks "What have you done recently?"
I kind of liked working there and like the colleges and the salary is fine and switching the job and maybe moving away is a huge thing for me... It could get better... But maybe also worse........?
What would you do in my situation? Accepting it? Starting a rebellion? Looking for a new job somewhere else?
I got banned from "World News @ lemmy.ml" because of “Nationalism”, because I argued that especially Europe does not just send weapons to Ukraine, but does also support Ukraine with the injured, with money and with a perspective after the war… My comment got deleted, too…
Does anyone have an explanation or is the mod just some kind of GPT-2 model with a very special understanding of “Nationalism”?
Has anyone bought some of the components (e.g. a hard drive or RAM) somewhere else instead of buying the full laptop from the frame.work website?
Was is worth it?
Looks like an easy possibility to save a few hundred dollars/euros...
Just curious...
I'd describe myself as politically "center-left" and I go on the streets against the far-right in my country... Not "left" enough for the lemmy community hexbear(.)net, I guess, which banned me for "facism".
"Advertisement": Go to hexbear(.)net if you want to be able to say "Death to Israel" or "The situation in Gaza is like the holocaust" without getting banned. No, you even get a lot of likes and no one will say anything against that. No one will share arguments against yours. Why? Because those people will instead get banned.
At least, I have an explanation now... There is no one arguing against what is posted there, because everyone who tries, is getting banned.
I'll disable the 2nd one for sure. 3rd one, too... 1st one stays enabled.
When can I expect to be able to install Debian on a device (let's say, I'd use the "testing" branch) and have the choice to use KDE Plasma 6 as UI?
Can I expect this to happen during the next months?
Just curious...
PS: I'm not interested in other distributions, just the raw Debian with Plasma 6...
I'm young, I'm male, I'm gay and a "side" (side = neither top nor bottom, I just don't like anal sex at all).
The question might be weird, but serious: How do I get started with non-anal sex (e.g. oral, handjobs or frotting)?
I'd like to start using Grindr or similar and meet people, but:
- not liking anal sex eliminates what most people like to do. Are there even people on Grindr like me? Most of the profiles are like "top", "bottom", "versatile", but all with a focus on anal sex.
- oral sex is kind of a difficult topic. Doing it without a condom with a person you've never seen before feels unsafe. Doing it with a condom feels weird.
- When doing handjobs or frotting, at least the topic "safer sex" is pretty much gone, but it could be difficult to find people for that.
- should I try to get something like PrEP? Is it even worth it in my situation when I'm at "step zero"?
Anyone here with a similar situation or with tips for me?
