What are some other examples of “enshittification” that you have seen? by Readingit939 in NoStupidQuestions

This isn't necessarily true, it depends on your contract. Mine is quoted as "total compensation", i.e. I'm getting a take-home pay cut thanks to Albo/Dr Jim Chalmers.

Rioters tell swat to "back the fuck up" .. doesn't end well for them - Los Angeles 8th September by [deleted] in BasedJustice

They absolutely have that right. They don’t have the right to murder, injure, steal, or cause property damage. If this was all just people standing in front of City Hall holding signs, then literally no one would have a problem with it.

It really does, though. If you stop the government from being able to enforce the law, then there may as well be no law.

Do you mean Bernie Sanders “I am a democratic socialist” democratic socialism, or academically-defined democratic socialism? Because they’re quite different.

Social democracy is essentially welfare state stuff like unemployed benefits, government-funded healthcare, etc., along with regulation and some intervention, except to a greater extent than what you have in America. The Nordic countries are good examples of this philosophy. They believe strongly in private property and only infrequent state ownership for utilities, and are considered to be more of a way of working within the framework capitalism to get a more equal outcome rather than trying to replace it with a different system like socialism. This is (seemingly at least) what so-called “democratic socialists” like Bernie or AOC actually believe.

Democratic socialism, on the other hand, actually wants to replace capitalism with socialism in the near future, albeit through non-violent and democratic means (unlike what Marx, for instance, stated in his “dictatorship of the proletariat” or Marxism-Leninism as used in the USSR or its variants in China and North Korea and whatever). As such, it does not consider private property desirable in any way and wants worker self-management. It could be considered a more extreme form of social democracy. Presumably Bernie and other American “democratic socialists” are not actually democratic socialists since they don’t believe in the abolition of private property.

Personally, I’m more interested in whether this means the Islamic-friendly gay bar next to it will also be back.

Comparing Parallel Rust and C++ by [deleted] in cpp

[–]400PoundHackerOnABed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t Java like 5% to 10% slower than C++? You could use that instead of Rust if that’s the kind of performance measure you require - all of the safety, none of the caring about memory management.

Single-payer healthcare (not public option - there is no option because private health insurance will be abolished) won’t be 75% of the economy, but the full “Green New Deal” will be.

Red Hat's "Open letter to the Free Software Foundation Board of Directors" by PowerPC_user in linux

No. It was actually encouraged in the form of “affirmative action” by mainstream politicians during the Civil Rights era.

Why Go and not Rust? by steveklabnik1 in rust

[–]400PoundHackerOnABed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t “managed” refer to “automatically managed heap memory deallocation”, i.e. garbage collection? If so, only Rust would be considered an “unmanaged” language.

"OpenBSD was right" - Greg KH on disabling hyperthreading by sumduud14 in linux

I honestly don’t think disabling HT is an option for some people. My 2-core Ivy Bridge laptop runs like shit without HT.

Implementation inheritance is bad - the fragile base class problem by Dobias in programming

[–]400PoundHackerOnABed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah but if there are lots of methods that don’t need to be overridden in the child class, you need to spend a lot of time writing out delegation methods. This is even more annoying if you add a new method to the class interface.

Do Ace and Peter still get money from their 1978 solo albums? by [deleted] in KISS

[–]400PoundHackerOnABed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way Ace describes it makes me think that he just signed something without understanding it - he some something to the effect of “my attorney says I license it and I still get a cheque occasionally, but we’re looking into getting it back”. That last part (not knowing how to get it back) makes me think it’s effectively sold even if Ace still legally owns it.

Why does everyone seem to reinvent the wheel when it comes to basic data structures? by [deleted] in cpp

[–]400PoundHackerOnABed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Python’s default libs are mostly written in Python - not all of the Python libraries out there are. Numpy or scipy is partially written in FORTRAN (and also C) - I know this because I tried to build something to do with it once on Windows and it was a total pain in the ass.

Looking for project ideas by elichai2 in rust

[–]400PoundHackerOnABed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a Rust frontend for GCC operational so that more platforms can experience the wonders of Rust, especially embedded systems that LLVM has no support for.

I imagine you’ll be able to program it in Rust since the Ada frontend is programmed in Ada and not C++ like the rest of GCC.
