Used to do this to my rule all the time
  • I always see comments like these online, but they seem kind of absurd to me, coming from a country where it's not only totally common to walk dogs off-leash, but completely legal. There's really very few incidents of dogs darting into the streets here, and actually half the ones I've ever seen have been dogs on a lead anyway. A well trained dog doesn't do that.

  • molten cheese
  • The oddest spelling of "colourize", with both a U and a Z

  • Life is pain
  • YouTube Music still has this at least

  • Python is great, but stuff like this just drives me up the wall
  • Oh that makes sense. I didn't consider it might be treated as a char

  • LaTeX coffee stains
  • The whole document is a pretty funny read actually

  • Python is great, but stuff like this just drives me up the wall
  • "1" + 2 === "12" is not unique to JS (sans the requirement for the third equals sign), it's a common feature of multiple strongly typed languages. imho it's fine.

    EDIT: I did some testing:

    What it works in:

    • JS
    • TS
    • Java
    • C#
    • C++
    • Kotlin
    • Groovy
    • Scala
    • PowerShell

    What produces a number, instead of a string:

    • PHP
    • SQL
    • Perl
    • VB
    • Lua

    What it doesn't work in:

    • R
    • C
    • Go
    • Swift
    • Rust
    • Python
    • Pascal
    • Ruby
    • Objective C
    • Julia
    • Fortran
    • Ada
    • Dart
    • D
    • Elixir

    And MATLAB appears to produce 51, wtf idk

  • Encrypted DMs Are Coming to ActivityPub
  • I was under the impression it wasn't even truly private, nevermind encrypted. Not actually sure how it works though

  • Encrypted DMs Are Coming to ActivityPub
  • On Lemmy you can't exchange email addresses though... else you'd be exposing the addresses publicly and that's also rife for spam

  • Why are many men growing beards again ?
  • Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.

    Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I've got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.

    Clean or short shaven was actually less effort.

  • What kind of institutional gaslighting is this?
  • Quiet quitting is actually listed as a subheading on the work-to-rule Wikipedia page I linked, so I guess it's the non-malicious variation of your standard work to rule protest. If you look at the See Also section, there's some interesting related things. I think the Chinese Tang Ping suits exactly what you're saying too

  • No-so-silent Spring
  • Leaf blowers strike me as a very American thing. People do use them here in the UK, but rarely

  • Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules
  • Watch out I guess, because that opens the Emergency SOS page on my OnePlus phone and, if I have an additional setting toggled, automatically phones emergency services... the phone does not lock

  • Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules
  • Not sure about all phone models, but at least with mine, if I switch it off then it requires a PIN, rather than biometrics, upon being switched back on. Thus if the police arrive, immediately switching off your phone could be a sensible thing to do

  • The US veto against Palestinian statehood does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood: US Ambassador to UN
  • Yes, it simply represents the leverage Israel holds over the US.

  • Driving direction in Europe, 1922
  • This is a 1922 map though, not current

  • How do you say SUSE?
  • So what's the deal with GNU? When I first saw it, I was sure the G was silent, or formed a dipthong, like gnat or gnocchi or gnaw or gnarly or gnome or just any word starting with gn in English. But IRL, I've only heard it pronounced with a hard G, same with Gnome.

  • Europe's top selling souvenirs
  • Is an Umbrella really a souvenir, rather than just a necessity they end up buying because it's pissing it down with rain here in the UK?

  • How it feels to be alive lately
  • Free outdoor seating is extremely common though, it's not that far fetched it could apply to deck chairs too
