.dev Why is C hidden gold?
  • C is the first language I learned and I think it’s a terrible language full of inconsistencies, footguns and unnecessary complexity.

  • If Jesus can turn water into wine, but wine is still mostly made of water, can Jesus apply his powers recursively and create more and more concentrated wine?
  • Sorry for being pedantic, but the set of rational numbers has the same cardinality (size) as the set of natural numbers, so it’s not “uncountably larger” (in fact, it’s countable). You should’ve chosen the real numbers for your example, which are uncountable.

  • After a year of operation, Switzerland's government closes its Mastodon instance
  • What is ridiculous about it? What do you see as the difference between moderation and censorship?

  • I’m not citing the author to add credibility, just to give credit.

  • ~~Most~~ many file types are just a renamed .zip
  • For HTML, it’s to distinguish “standards mode” HTML from “quirks mode” HTML (which doesn’t need a header).

  • Co-op campaign mode unlocked
  • I’m still not sure how that’s supposed to help in terms of being lovable.

  • Moderation is when you take down material because the recipient doesn't want to see it. Censorship is when you take down content because you don't want the recipient to see it, regardless of how the recipient feels about it.

  • The unlocking flow is slower. With the fingerprint scanner, I just put my finger on the screen and go. With face recognition, I have to turn on the screen, wait for it to pick me up, then swipe to unlock.

  • What's the most polarizing thing you've ever done or said?
  • I definitely agree that it’s mutilation. I was pointing out the whataboutism that occurs every time someone talks about male circumsision.

  • What would make you happy?
  • I know :) But here I have a special reason to care, which is too complex to explain in a short comment.

  • What's the most polarizing thing you've ever done or said?
  • INB4 “but what about female circumsision”

  • What would make you happy?
  • If I could convince my friend to stop smoking.

  • How serious are you guys when you talk about punching nazis?
  • The bartender first peacefully told the Nazi to leave, and after the Nazi refused, the bartender threatened them with the bat, without actually using it. Do you really not see the difference from randomly punching someone on the street as you walk past them?

    Or would you also say that there is no difference between a police officer threatening someone with a gun after they refuse arrest, versus immediately shooting them on sight?

  • How serious are you guys when you talk about punching nazis?
  • Of course if someone uses violence, you can use violence back. You’re arguing against a strawman.

  • How serious are you guys when you talk about punching nazis?
  • Neither of the links seems to mention immigrants from intolerant countries, so I’m not sure how they’re relevant to the comment you’re replying to.

  • How serious are you guys when you talk about punching nazis?
  • Okay, but what does this have to do with punching? No violence took place in this scenario.

  • Linux is Popular
  • For whatever reason, GIMP includes this image of a green pepper as a built-in brush.

  • Gender roles are important or not?
  • But what even is a “gender expression” if not linked to sex? Why not just call it a personality trait?

  • What even is happening here?

    Am I having hallucinations from being awake at 3 in the night, or are the comments tilted? And there are buttons with nonsense words?
