How to disable Copilot

Delete Windows.

Seriously, you think those switches will keep working?

I was thinking that number is far too low

Ironically cars can park and navigate, but not drive.

I’m just not sure the two use cases meld very well. Mastodon tends to be “reply and fly”, whereas Lemmy can get into discussions.

I don’t know why that is. Maybe it’s the twitter character limit that’s been baked into people even though it’s not a thing on mastodon (might depend on instance).

For a long time it was just a software implementation of OpenGL. It’s grown into a completely different beast.

Talk about feature creep!

So how do you study literature without having the class all read the same book? Can’t really have a discussion on the themes of a work if the class isn’t all reading the same thing.

Manatees aren’t the only ones.

You didn’t experience the 70s, did you?

No. The board can decide to issue more shares, but this is a sub-dividing of the already issued shares and so normally requires a vote from the shareholders. Major shareholders normally sit on the board, so the two groups overlap but are legally distinct.

If a company buys it own shares, it’s normally a “buyback” and the shares cease to exist.

Of course. They are shareholders.

The company is a separate legal entity though.

The company doesn’t care if the stock price hits $1. If the company is paying it’s bills, it just continues. It’s the people who hold shares that care. The company doesn’t hold shares in itself.

Enron collapsed because the company financials collapsed, not because the stock price collapsed. That happened after all the bad accounting practises and hidden debt came to light. Now, in that case the shareholders succeeded in suing for their losses, but they only had a case because of the mismanagement.

And the people he’s buying headphones for, he probably wants to move out so he can buy their properties. I suspect their might be a tad of malicious gift giving here.

This is what you get when AI fanaticism combines with Rust fanaticism.

1 million lines a month is 2-ish line per second. That “engineer” is just someone to blame when things don’t work. They aren’t going to be contributing anything.

Suicide note is surprising as that suggest suicide.

Whoever is next is going to be busy enough in their first term just taking Trumps name off things.

Ah the bubble is the expansion volume. Not the storage volume… got it. I had it backwards.

So yes, very similar then.

We had these things called Gasometers in the UK for a long time. They expanded with the amount of gas stored in them, and they kept the pressure of the local gas supply up. A local gas reservoir, or “gas battery” if you like.

These bubbles are basically the same idea but at higher pressure.

Landlords would love it, at least.

And I thought you ment because the pubs would be full that week :-(

The article also calls out copper which will be in PCBs and wiring looms.

I recognise that different languages have different styles, strengths and idioms. One of my pain points is when people write every language as if it’s naughties java. Enough with the enterprise OoP crap.

I’ve also learnt languages like Haskell to expand and challenge the way I think about software problems. I learnt a lot doing it. That doesn’t stop a lot of Haskell code looking like line noise to me because it over-uses symbols and it being close to impenetrable in a lot of cases when you read somebody else’s code.

I think the aesthetics of Rust are the wrong side of the line. Not as bad as something like Haskell (or Perl), but still objectionable. Some things seem to be different even though there’s pre-existing notation. Things seem to be dense, magical, and for the compilers benefit over the readers (as an outsider).

I’ve been learning Zig recently and the only notational aspect I struggled with was the pointer/slice notation as there’s 5 or 6 similar forms that mean fairly different things. It has other new concepts and idioms to learn, but on the whole it’s notation is fairly traditional. That has made reading code a lot more approachable (…which is a good thing because the documentation for some aspects sucks).
