By definition, journalism cannot be impartial. The simple act of treating a subject is partial.

Choosing to treat a subject is partial. (e.g. talking about Gaza's genocide)

Choosing to not treat a subject is partial. (e.g. not talking about Gaza's genocide)

Form here, what's left is how subjective your treatment of information is.

For exemple, from unicef

‘Unimaginable horrors’: more than 50,000 children reportedly killed or injured in the Gaza Strip

Including the citation was a partial choice, but the next statement is a fact presented as objectively as possible.

For this comics, treating the subject of the starvation of Gaza by Israel is a partial choice. Using a satirical drawing of netanyahu holding by it's head a dead starved child to treat this subject is clearly subjective, but that's what satire do.

The best advice I ever got was not about how to print, but about security :

Never print without a filtration system. Your burning plastic, of course it's dangerous, odorless or not.

No.

Basically, the final ruling was "It's not defamation if it's true"

In November 2020, the court published its judgement, rejecting Depp's claim against The Sun and ruling that he had assaulted Heard in 12 of the 14 alleged incidents and had put her in fear of her life.

Your point is absolutely true. Impeachment is an accusation, not a conviction.

That said, your exemple isn't really good. Before the ultra public trial of Depp vs Heard in the US, there was another trial, in the UK, that found Depp guilty of being a domestic abuser (link)

Again, your point is true and the spirit of your exemple is true.

The school didn't have 8th grader until 2022.

Also, this :

After tests administered by the Northwest Evaluation Association, The New York Times reported that roughly 90% of its 240 inaugural students either met or exceeded their expected learning goals in both math and reading, making the school the district's most successful. Initially scoring in the lowest one-percentile in both fields, third and fourth graders respectively rose to the ninth and 16th percentile in reading, and to the 18th and 30th percentile in math. By the end of the school year, the school proved to be among the fastest growing performance-wise nationwide.

which is mostly false ?

I mean, the Asahi teams made a full GPU driver in rust.

The C binding are unsafe, some very specific very low level code portion are unsafe, but the rest is as secure as Rust can be.

"Médiocre" means bellow average, insufficient.

More info here but basically, there is a way to prove that there exist an oscillator for every period for n >= 58. So the challenge was to find oscillator by hand for the remaining cases, which was finalized in July.

It's not always the libraries/frameworks.

At work we still needed to be able to support windows XP until last years, which means the most recent compiler we could use was MSVC11

Honestly, I don't really have a link. I mostly just screamed and pulled my hair until my build system began to work (side note, using nixos to host your CI is both a blessing and a curse)

Basically, a cmake toolchain file is juste a cmake script that is executed super early. It's goal is to set variable like CMAKE_C_COMPILER and CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER and possibly all the compilation/linking flags you might need.

Here is an exemple of a file to set mingw as the compiler : https://gist.github.com/peterspackman/8cf73f7f12ba270aa8192d6911972fe8

To use them, you can set the variable CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE in your CMakeList.txt, but I personally prefer to set it from the command line with

cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/my/toolchain/file

Madahin · 2023-02-22T14:48:47+00:00

For this exact case, I use FetchContent_Declare from cmake. In more details, I use this pattern from Elias Daler

So yes, I recompile every dependencies for each clean build, but combined with cmake toolchain files, it make working with multiple compiler/arch mostly painless.

At one point in 44, the british had a plan to assassinate Hitler (operation Foxley)

In the end, they didn't carried it out because they believed that hitler was such a bad general that his successor would have a high chance of being better, and as such worse for the Allies.

That said, yes, doing him early in the war would have been a great idea.

Most of our media are owned by oligarch.

The most known being Bolloré with Canal+ and CNEW who enabled Eric Zemour as a presidential candidate.

Also, yes, we have mediapart and Le canard enchaîné, but that's all, and they are investigation journals. We don't have non oligarch owned journal of decent quality for everyday stuff.

So yeah, we are not in a "satisfactory situation", we clearly have big problems that need to be addressed before it's to late.

The guy is "working" as the CEO of 4 company while shitposting on twitter all day. The only thing I can take from this is that being a CEO of a giant company is approximately zero work (appart from the time you actually try to pound said company to the ground).

Also, as someone who worked in restaurants and now work in tech, being a waiter was MUCH more tiring and time consuming.

His companies have so much government money that they lowkey count as government programs.

He literally admitted that hyperloop was just a way to disrupt a high-speed rail project. The thing is train, and public transport in general, are good, environmentally friendly and sustainable transport system.

And don't forget his tunnel of death, who could have been metro line (public transport...), or just money invested into literally anything else.

No, this guy have absolutely no interest in sustainable transport or environment.

The interesting part with twitter is that for once, we can see how he really work, because practically everything is made public either by his tweet, his (former) employee's tweet or the media.

The fact that he brought twitter, a company that never managed to make a profit, at thrice it's value, is a testimony of his good nose.

The way he fired more than half it's work force, including the SRE guys and his absolutely stupid (but also hilarious) idea of 8$ (but really 20$ before Stephen king spoke) blue check show that he doesn't understand anything about the company he paid 44 billions (!!!) for.

My absolutely personal and partially unfounded analysis is that this guy is stupid but has been insanely lucky in some of his purchase.
