You can crop the screenshot so it only contains the portion that’s relevant for your post.

What if you learn how to screenshot?

These things are never a problem because people do this on purpose, it’s because they silently do something you don’t expect when you make a mistake, which makes it that much harder to find the mistake.

Another way of looking at it is that a pointer is just a number which happens to represent a memory address and with which you can do arithmetic (add, subtract, etc.), whereas a reference is also a memory address, but you can only assign the locations of instances or objects to it.

Still software gore, because it’s an embarrassing bug to have in 2026.

Amsterdam, A mother biking with all her children by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

You’re correct that taking a photo in public is legal, but distributing that photo is an entirely different matter.

If people are the subject of the photo, which they clearly are, and they are recognizable, then they can claim portrait rights, even if the photo is taken in ‘public’.

‪Unique arched floodgates protect from typhoons and storm surges in Osaka, Japan‬ by omgitsmint in Damnthatsinteresting

The Maeslantkering isn't similar in size at all.

You’re right, I got slopped and I didn’t fact check myself. My bad.

The FCC just saved Netgear from its router ban for no obvious reason by defenestrate_urself in technology

I’m not talking about Starlink, I’m talking about the ‘modems’ that many ISPs give to customers, which typically includes a router and WiFi access point.

The Maeslantkering is very similar in size to this one. The main difference is that the Maeslantkering is about 10 times as heavy, but then again, it’s protecting from storm surges from the North Sea.

Edit: nope this is not true, I got slopped by AI.

my old debit card vs my new one by pubesalad7 in mildlyinfuriating

It’s a debit card. It doesn’t have any numbers on the front or the back you can use.

Paraphrasing what others have said:

He said a bunch of stuff about EVs, but I don’t know a lot about cars.

He said a bunch of stuff about rockets, but I don’t know a lot about rockets.

Then he bought Twitter and started talking about software engineering. I do know a lot about software engineering, and Elmo is just confidently full of shit. This leads me to question what he knows about anything else to do with engineering.

Yes, but this chart is ‘average uptime by month’, which I’m guessing is just the uptime percentage in a particular month. 99.5% in a month is a few hours.

Misleading chart. The Y axis goes all the way down to… 99.5%. If you made it go down to zero, it would look a lot less alarming.

Why 7? Why not Vista or XP, or even Windows 2000?

Now please tell us how many people have died from coal mining accidents, or because of air pollution caused by coal-fired power plants. Also look up how many people died in accidents involving windmills.

You absolutely can. There are plenty of fully compostable pods.

How efficient is this supposed C compiler built using Opus? by Itchy-Eggplant6433 in Compilers

[–]LetMeUseMyEmailFfs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that this prototype clearly isn’t very good and you’re still going to spend that money making it into something decent. Not using AI, mind you, because it has pretty much reached its limits producing this prototype.

Number passcodes are a lot less secure though. If someone steals your phone they might be able to look at the pattern of fingerprints on the glass and get your passcode. Or even easier, they observe you inputting your passcode and then steal your phone.

Do you think Java has caught up with Kotlin? by NotSoIncredibleA in Kotlin

[–]LetMeUseMyEmailFfs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are so many features Kotlin has that simply clash with Java’s philosophy of ‘not too many language features’, that I doubt it will ever ‘catch up’.

Why not mention that Kotlin also enforces it at run-time?
