Yes, most likely they use it for implementation inheritance which is sloppy anyway since it usually violates the Liskov substitution principle and also most OOP languages that have that concept tend to have issues around co- and contra-variance in either function parameter and return types or containers or both.

It hasn't been safe to travel with a phone or laptop since at least the post 9/11 changes to travel rules, at least not into or out of the US and other oppressive regimes that spy on your phone on the border.

TIL Cloudflare allowed unencrypted traffic to its API endpoints up to March 2025.

They might not need to be creative but they do need to produce useful results and AI is just really bad at that, especially without a human spending a large part of their time correcting and filtering its output.

Which probably means it uses deep inheritance hierarchies since that is the one thing that does not exist in Rust (and for a good reason).

The GitHub project seems to be mostly C++ and the Qt comment in the article would support that.

Ladybird seems to be C++, I don't really see a new project written in a language that is that horrible to use attracting a lot of contributors in the long term.

Or, to rephrase that, every other employee just as useless as AI because HR and managers are clueless about judging performance.

I don't care much about them harvesting all that data, what I do care about is that despite essentially feeding all human knowledge into LLMs they are still basically useless.

He seems to be very much in favor of his own speech being completely free of any relation to reality.

Yeah, dryers themselves are a waste of both money and energy.

You are correct that it is the natural progression of this kind of censorship which is the reason this kind of censorship is a bad idea in the first place.

Money is anything that someone is willing to exchange for goods and services in a stable and semi-predictable way (i.e. you need to be able to plan ahead at least long enough to know if what you get for your current transaction, e.g. your paycheck, will be able to buy you what you need to buy in transactions in the foreseeable future) and that is easier to store and/or exchange than actual direct bartering (good/service for good/service directly).

By that general definition most crypto currencies are not money because they are too volatile and transactions are too complicated and slow.

But that is asking the wrong question. The real question isn't "What is money?", the real question is "What is value?", as in why does money have value at all, what backs that value. Money only has value because a large amount of providers of goods or services with inherent value are willing to exchange those actually valuable things for your money. And the number of those can vary over time because supply or demand for a good or service increases/decreases.

Most crypto-currencies are not equipped to deal with those fluctuations in the availability of actually valuable things by adjusting the money supply. Not to mention that the required money supply also depends on the velocity of money and how much people store away in savings and don't touch at all.

Or in other words crypto-currencies are an incredibly primitive attempt to solve a complex problem with a solution so simplistic it is not fit for purpose.

That theory was mentioned often in the early 2000s when most people stilled used pseudonyms online but it has been debunked since then by the many people who feel perfectly fine spouting the same kind of hate on social media under their real name and sometimes even in video form.

Physical repercussions do not exist in the real world for anything but the most extreme of actions. If anything the culture of lying to each other's face (a.k.a. being polite) and looking away when abuse happens makes abuse very common in the real world, just ask your average minority or retail worker.

It takes at least 15 minutes to get back into it if you get interrupted for even a minute or two. An hour is not unreasonable for a cold start, so no, that is normal, you are not shit at it.

To be fair 90% of the corporate bullshit we are looking at today is born out of the same mindset as popups.

That is just not true. Plenty of nice people online and plenty of assholes since before online was even a thing for the average person. In fact if anything it feels like those assholes from before are re-asserting themselves.

Ah yes, you have figured out that if you consider whatever you believe to be the "correct answer" people who give the "correct answer" likely also agree with you about closely related topics.

Well, at 2 years it is probably older than at least one other game.

"easily", I guess console players are used to the pain.
