That seems overkill

Doesn’t matter, the point is that, if it starts with “is” then you automatically know it’s a boolean.

Have you read the report?

I haven’t read it all, but from reading like a couple paragraphs it says that the Chinese government is making mass incarcerations with accusations of extremism and terrorism, while these terms are not well defined and it appears that they are only targeting Muslims for their religion. Furthermore in these jails it appears that the Chinese government is doing things like forced injections, forcing people to take pills and other classics like torture, waterboarding and rape, invasive gynecological exams etc.

Inmates are forbidden to pray with guards making rounds at night to ensure compliance, being forbidden to speak their own language or practice anything from their culture. Prominent scholars, artists and intellectuals are being incarcerated, people are forbidden to leave the region or to receive or send money from the outside.

If it were Israel doing this, and they are doing this, you’d call it genocide, wouldn’t you?

Or doesn’t Uyghurstan have the same right to exist as Palestine?

I mean, I wouldn’t mind a car with “only” 200km range, but that can charge up to full in just 5 minutes. I use my car just for work 99% of the time anyway, the times I need to go somewhere further away I can easily stop midway to charge, get a coffee in the meantime and then be on my way.

If you have time then try working out and doing sports. It sounds asinine, but I’ve found that exerting yourself increases your levels of energy in the long term. Even something small, a little bit at a time will be greatly beneficial. Also try doing it with someone else and try having an active social life that will motivate you to go out of the house and stop spending all the evening alone on the couch watching YouTube (which is really detrimental, ask me how I know it).

Like the Romans said “mens sana in corpore sano” (you need a healthy body to have a healthy mind)

I mean, it’s great for audio and video chats. What I never understood is why people started using discord as a forum, as documentation or as some kind of program (like, why is Midjourney on a public discord chat? It’s probably the worst possible interface).

Discord is excellent for chatting with your friends while playing games, and that’s it.

bit, Nibble, Byte, Word, doubleword, longword, quadword, double-quadword, verylongword, halfword

They check all Imperial criteria:

• confusing names
• some used only in some systems
• size depends on where you are
• some may overlap
• doesn’t manage to cover all the possible needs, but do you really need more than 64 bits?
• would probably cause you to crash a rocket

That’s a US thing I think, which doesn’t make sense btw.

In Europe you are required to report the nutrition facts per 100g. Any other size is optional. In Italy Tic-Tacs have 94.5g of sugar per 100g of product https://www.ferrero.it/Tic-Tac#expand-jump-1

So if you are unsure about the nutrition facts, check the European website

It should be clearly labeled then. Also in the nutritional information it should be clearly stated (pure tea is 0% carbs, 0% sugar).

I don’t think you can hide your sugar as “aroma”

Some joined when the rules stated that you could choose. Some others are just waiting to meet conditions that will allow them to enter the Eurozone (like Croatia did last year)

The number of job applications using Java as a shorthand for Javascript…

Yes, but I’m not sure if we want to open the “programming language can of worms”.

There’s B, C, C++, C#, Objective-C, D, E, F, F#, F* and so many more. Also, they may or may not have anything to do with each other

Used Ricoh laser. Enterprise grade quality, just works

I work for a plastic recycling plant manufacturer, specifically for the sorting, shredding, cleaning and drying steps of plastic recycling (after that you usually have melting and extrusion before ending up with small plastic pellets that can be used to make other stuff).

I can confirm you, we have “cycling filtered grey water” cleaning. You don’t need to clean up your plastic containers, just empty them. Also various chemicals will be used in the process, when necessary.

We also make de-labelers to remove the labels from plastic bottles, although this kind of label in the picture is extremely hard to remove and, afaik, either requires human labor (aka poor countries with labor conditions you don’t want to think about) or just becomes waste. So yeah, this is some of the worst shit.

Ok, I’m a c# developer and I use async await quite extensively. Is it different in JS? Or am I missing something?

I’d wager that it will get pushed to 2026, release half broken, good to play in 2027

Yeah, proper documentation is not done with comments in code, but it’s a project in and of itself. Proper documentation is also fucking hard and I have no idea how people (in open source projects) can do it. It’s so fucking boring and tedious, especially when there are a million interesting problems you could tackle instead. Mad respect for people writing documentation, seriously.

I also hate writing comments and prefer to just write out everything in code.

Firefox has the same problem with V3, it has nothing to do with the browser

Didn’t they say they will implement V3, but change it slightly to allow extensions like ublock origin to block web requests? Also I’m pretty sure there’s still no timeline for any deprecation of V2 in FF, unlike for Chrome, which will disable all V2 extensions.

Hopefully they’ll get slapped with a fat GDPR fine

Google Shopping

is Google Shopping really used that much?
