If you’ve got a complex and potentially nested object, what does the body of this simple function look like? That’s what they mean.

Play dom-jot, hu-mon?

Well of course, but some of us want to be well-informed on the tradeoffs we’re making.

What do you mean? Payment isn’t anti-FOSS at all, it’s just a lot harder to make money when the source is libre.

There’s something to be said for coercion. Most people have no option to live without ‘agreeing’ to such a sharing model.

‘Need’ as in why do they need to stretch their development resources to cover a video player when they’re already stretched thin and perfectly serviceable alternatives exist.

I have no actual idea, but that’s what was meant. My guess is they want everything written in Qt6 so it can all be portable to windows etc.

PiHole is the most common way I hear of network-level ad blocking these days.

Liquid coolers are by definition just an extra heat exchange step unless you’re venting heat into the ocean or something like a nuclear plant. Otherwise, the atmosphere is your final heat sink either way.

Unless a liquid cooling radiator is significantly larger than the air cooler that would fit directly on the CPU there’s no point whatsoever.

What’s being discussed here is the hiring of engineers rather than consumer choices. Hiring an engineer is absolutely an expression of trust. The business trusts that the engineer will be able to concretely realize abstract business goals, and that they will be able to troubleshoot any deviations.

AI writing code is one thing, but intuitively trusting that an AI will figure out what you want for you and keep things running is a long way off.

Of course, but when you don’t know who is a deadly foe, there’s a bit more subtlety than having to be defenseless because you aren’t certain. The risks can never be reduced to zero, and the safety of you and your team can’t be ignored.

At least aiming their phasers while they were unsure would have given them a chance to react once the changeling transformed.

You’d think, but that’s essentially the California proposition system, and it has significant downsides.

RIP to an OG.

Gentoo: not even once.

You mean enhances the episode with her peerless villainy.

I don’t buy that it’s the vast majority. None of the sports fans I’ve ever known have had any interest in it.

Horga’hn!

“Bones, help me, I’m injured!”

“true”

I feel like part of the impetus for the name change, and perhaps the extreme hype to some extent, came from trying to distance themselves from the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

It does happen among Esperanto speakers; parents whose common language is Esperanto is a major source of what few native speakers there are.
