  • What does defederation imply? Feeds aren't aggregated, or users are not allowed from the other instance?

    Iirc no activity from one instance is available on the other. No posts in their communities, no posts/comments from their users.

    Also one other major question. I thought lemmy was its own thing, but I guess it's part of the Fediverse? The Fediverse is just a set of protocols? What is lemmy then?

    The fediverse is a group of social media platforms that use the active pub protocol to pass along user interactions between instances (servers run by different people).

    Lemmy is the reddit of the fediverse, meaning posts in communities and comment in a trees structure.

    Kbin is also the reddit of the fediverse, but with some less features (manly on the moderation side). Because they both use active pub in a reddit style they can easily interoperate.

    Mastodon is the twitter of the fediverse meaning their content (mircoblogging) doesn't fit the lemmy format but you will only sometimes see some posts like 'If you can read this I have managed to post from mastodon to lemmy'.

  • The people who would actually launch the missiles would be the same people who told Putin that the Ukraine invasion would be a walk over.

    They where told it wasn't going to happen, just some postering before going back to normal. They said 'yes, we could theoretically walk over Ukraine' believing they wouldn't have to follow up on that.
    They know dam well there is no theoretically winning a nuclear exchange, meaning they won't tell their superiors they can do it and no superiors that would believe them if they did.

  • What's the problem with -0?
    It conceptually makes sense for to negativ values to close to 0 to be represented as -0.
    In practice I have never seen a problem with -0.

    On NaN: While its use cases can nowadays be replaced with language constructs like result types, it was created before exceptions or sum types. The way it propagates kind of mirrors Haskells monadic Maybe.
    We should be demanding more and better wrapper types from our language/standard library designers.

  • Team fortress 2 has it's fair share as well.

    Disguising as medics, killing medics, killing prisoners of war, non metallic shrapnel, weapons that cause unnecessary suffering (incendiary, bleed) and so much more.

  • I have a Microsoft USB-keyboard for my Linux machine, I should really find out how to remap that key to something.

    I bought it because it was the only one that I could find at an in person shop, that had an ergonomic bump and keys that have more than a millimeter of travel.

  • we can also not just let the entire world become Forrest.

    We could make charcoal from the trees and bury the same amount we dug up, but as long as we burn coal for power it's kind of pointless.

  • You can't random-access an iterator and use it again later.

    If your specific use case really needs random access to a list while lazy computing the elements just wrap them in Lazy and put them in a vector.

    Can Rust compute the value of calling a function an infinite number of times?

    The return type of an infinitely recursive function / infinite loops is ⊥, a type that by definition has no values. (Known in rust as !)

  • The shoot down only happened because the Americans were complacent (1) and the Serbs behaved reckless (2) and got lucky (3).

    1. flying the same routes every night
    2. doing three radar sweeps despite needing to to move after one.
    3. getting a lock during the second the bomb bays are open
