This code would run a lot faster as a hash table look up.

Ya, this pic just gave me flashbacks. I thought I had buried that for good.

This is definitely to ensure continued reliance on oil and gas.

It was named after Java, which they already had the trademark for.

Thank God I don’t live in England!

Consider a Brazilian Lemmy instance. They will have to remove everything anyone complains about.

There’s no way to tell legitimate requests from illegitimate and as soon as volunteer admins are overwhelmed with requests, they will have to automatically delete any post that they are notified about.

All the power is on the side of the complainant. Nonprofit Lemmy hosts would go bankrupt in minutes trying to fight it.

Cooking oil helps with scrubbing it off so that it doesn’t continue to stick. Good for scraping off the residue.

GNU/Hurd

100 year copyright is fucking ridiculous, but I still think copyright has its place. The enemy of my enemy is a useful ally?

They’ve both been mentioned multiple times already, but I think you need to try out both Logseq and Obsidian and pick whichever you like better. They are both very similar, but take slightly different approaches. There are also plugins for each to make them behave more like the other.

I personally use Logseq because it’s open source and I like the daily journal and outlining features. I used and enjoy obsidian, too, and it has plugins to improve journals and outlining.

They can be sweet, but definitely don’t need to be.

That’s a great article, thanks. In his book, he just sticks to recursive descent parsers and doesn’t get into Pratt parsers, but I think it’s a great introduction to interpreters.

If you’re interested in this topic, I can highly recommend the book Crafting Interpreters.

I am not an IP lawyer, but to me, service manuals and wiring diagrams are not creative works and therefore not subject to copyright anyway.

Sometimes the only way to find the tool you’re looking for is to create it yourself, share it on forums and wait for people to berate you and ask why you wouldn’t just use X.

It’s a time-honoured tradition.

This is not just a case of MIT vs GPL. Microsoft has violated the MIT licence.

They deleted the original copyright notice which is basically the only requirement of the MIT licence. The software is stolen.

It took 6 years for them to even invade Poland, which is when other nations got involved and eventually led to Nazi Germany’s downfall.

If they didn’t try to take over Europe, they might even still be around.

Definitely this. Lemmy isn’t that big, so it pays to browse all. Just block any topic you don’t like. I had to block a lot of furry and meme communities because they don’t interest me.

Of the 50ish Amiga floppy disks we had, I think Bubble Bobble was the only one my dad actually bought.
