This is good they are found. What is concerning is why number is so high in the first place. Europe estimates are between 170 to 300 thousands

Correct answer - depends.

Option 1 if enabling led is action itself, not side effect. This would justify having enable/disable specific side effects in those functions. This is unlikely for given example. Enabling/disabling led likely side effect itself. You don’t want to put side effects into side effects.

Option 2 if it’s a side effect of bigger process. Option 2 makes harder to add side effects which will drive (but not guarantee) better separation of concerns.

Though, I’d go with option 1 anyway since I trust my self to not nest side effects even when code doesn’t hint me

Entire intelligence agencies will try to hack into your communications to ensure that cat does not resembles supreme commander. At the same time ignoring that dude which paid 5 bucks in taxes, has private island and absolutely not sus traffic from all over the world.

Nope, JS is “You think you are nerd”.

Also, why React is there? It’s a lib not a language

TF is this formatting

Half of it is fragile CEO ego reply

90 km/h, for those who use metric in sane ways

Idea of not distributing registrations is dumb. Sounds like they didn’t even tried to find something better. This defeats purpose of federation. Everyone will land on one instance because hashtags don’t federate and people will start moving to big instances.

We don’t need corpo sso. We need federated auth providers and org which can fund instances which want to be on “trusted list”

I feel like people are complaining about wrong thing. At least for me it’s not a problem that there are different communities. To me problem is same posts. What would be great is to have same posts merged into one post with comments from all its duplicates. This way communities are independent, lemmings don’t get to scroll same copy-pasta and discussion of same thing is visible cross communities/instances. Question is how we define “same” is it carbon copy of post, or same content only? Alternative titles can be shown if content is same but not title.

I think those are symptoms of more general trend - IT is not a tool to make people’s lives easier or fun anymore. Until last 5 years all my projects were about making things possible or automating tedious manual tasks. Now, for almost all use cases there is some solution or components you (or AI) can slap together to build a solution. Today it’s all about cutting costs and increasing margins. There is nothing fun or creative in this job, all feedback you get is lower numbers on dashboard. Budgets are squeezed to make more profit, so there is no time to get bored and improve things around you.

Look, in my IT company, I have to track my time in 3 different system and no-one cares because there is no ROI in automating it. That should tell you in which state IT is

I’m so confused how all these “manly men” seeking for lord to submit to.

While trade war isn’t good for anyone US is clear looser here since China’s export to US (as of 2023 stats) is only 15% from its overall export. They can sell more other countries to smoothen impact. Meanwhile who gonna buy US stuff? “Best friend“ Russia with total GPD of less than California?

Seriously? With Tymoshenko? Trump is naive if he thinks she’ll accept any sort of deal. To me she is sorta fanatic and bit more on radical side. Let alone she was accused of dealing with money laundering and corruption. She ran for president 3 times and her best result was 25% in first round of 2010th. That won’t represent people’s will.

Also WTF is this interference. Accusing Zelenskyy campaigned for Dems when he visited factory at the same time plotting coup with Tymoshenko.

Honestly IDK why companies especially medium-big don’t do this. They could plug in RAG with internal/confidential data and have better results and security. I guess question is what is capital plus maintenance cost of running such infra for say 10k+ employees

EU should fine shit out of US platforms to the point they leave. All these Xittors, facebooks and instagrams are hybrid war tools at this point. At the same time EU should spin up official EU Mastodon and Frendica instances with strict anti-eu-separatism and anti-political-interference policies. Some will say this is bad, make no mistake US platforms do same but targeting europe. With EU platform there is at least a chance to make our policy maker accountable

What you expecting called natural sorting. Mac employed natural sorting back in 90s. What you get is legitimate Alphabetical sorting which used by Linux and Windows. Natural sorting parses tokens in the string and compares them. Alphabetical sorting compares two strings by comparing individual characters at same index (position). Alphabetical sorting is quite common as it simpler to implement (or rather harder to screw up) and yields predictable results

One of many libraries for Python which implements natural sorting https://github.com/SethMMorton/natsort

Too lazy to read article but title sounds silly. One can fart and it will have sound wave which can be unique. And you don’t need entire power plant and quarter of UK water consumption for that

People forget we had hot-swappable li-ion batteries decades ago in phones and DSLRs. They absolutely could’ve done that with no to minimal form-factor changes.

And this is how your city’s traffic, pollution, petrol expenses, stress, respiratory disease infections go up coz some CEO feels power forcing others to do something unnecessary just because they can

Coz money?
