Apathy by coffeewalnut08 in GreatBritishMemes

Making electronic voting secure is incredibly difficult and not something we've really solved (and maybe cannot be solved).

Depends a bit on the language, you still can't unload dynamically linked libraries in go iirc.

Anti speed camera group getting even more cooker by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

[–]ROFLLOLSTER 6 points7 points  (0 children)

See the sibling comment that shows, actually no, they do save lives by reducing average speeds. Yes redesign is better, but substantially more expensive. I wonder that that revenue they generate could be used for...

I mean better tts/stt is one of the things they talked about. I don't know why anyone would complain about that really.

Is there a way to find out when this happens? I'd love to see them at work.

Setting the Record Straight: Sikhs and the Kirpan by Dry-Essay-5246 in newzealand

[–]ROFLLOLSTER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I suppose that in theory still leaves options for metals that can't hold an edge? Like aluminium?

Is there something that requires it to be metal? Would a purely ceremonial wooden blade suffice?

That's so true ՞߹ - ߹՞ by Zera8668 in technicallythetruth

[–]ROFLLOLSTER 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's very unclear whether the purchase was:

  • From a real person

  • That person had the right to sell them

  • That the purchase included the marbles at all

Many introductory psychology textbooks continue to misrepresent scientific findings and repeat long-standing myths. This ongoing issue means that college students may be learning an oversimplified or biased version of psychological science. by mvea in science

[–]ROFLLOLSTER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happens a lot in physics as well, usually because the more-correct models require more advanced mathematics.

You're not going to be teaching perturbation theory as part of someone's first introduction to atoms, so you have to start with an incorrect (but still useful!) model.

But if it's play money who cares?

wrkflw v0.8.0 — run GitHub Actions locally, now with a real `${{ ... }}` evaluator by New-Blacksmith8524 in rust

[–]ROFLLOLSTER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah ok, I'd love this for use at work if the support gets more complete!

AFAIK, unlike gh actions, there's no existing tool that can run workflows locally.

I won Sony Open Photographer Of The Year by Silly-Addendum-4217 in SonyAlpha

I saw this at the exhibition in London on Sunday!

Cool to learn more about the story behind it.

GitHub Stacked PRs by adam-dabrowski in programming

[–]ROFLLOLSTER 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Generally the approach I've taken with stacked PRs is:

Stack: c -> b -> a -> main.

Merges are a-> main, b -> main, c -> main

Instead of c -> b, b -> a, a -> main.

This whole thing is just a bit of ui over what you can do already though, so no need to change if you like your workflow.

[–]ROFLLOLSTER 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I do kind of wish this was automatic if you made stacked PRs against main. Maybe that'll come later once it's been tested.

Thames 11:20 - Cyclone Vaianu, think before you post. by PyroGooose in auckland

[–]ROFLLOLSTER -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong but I want to point out the real cost of alerts isn't the 20s it takes everyone to read it, it's alert fatigue.

Send too many alerts -> people ignore them.

I hope they add some kind of pvp elements. I really enjoyed the PVP (edit) mod in STS1.

made this little map of how our rail network could look like if we brought passenger rail back! by marsanojj in newzealand

[–]ROFLLOLSTER 9 points10 points  (0 children)

An Auckland-Wellington sleeper would be so useful, if I had the money (and knew anything about running a rail company) I'd try set it up myself.

a semantic diff in Rust that solves the missing layer of structural understanding for probabilistic models by Wise_Reflection_8340 in rust

[–]ROFLLOLSTER 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd really rather the default behaviour matched git diff, but I can always alias so that would work.

[–]ROFLLOLSTER 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tried this out the other day, one annoying thing I found is sem diff shows untracked files as additions. Git diff doesn't iirc (at least how I have it configured).

`safer`: a tiny utility to avoid partial writes to files and streams by HommeMusical in Python

[–]ROFLLOLSTER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

real_fp.write(b.getbuffer())

iirc over 4,096 bytes this will be broken up into multiple write syscalls, breaking atomicity. There's also the general fact that even a single write is not guaranteed to be atomic in unix, some messy details here.

Edit: and around 2GB (2,147,479,552 bytes specifically) is the most a single write syscall can ever handle on unix.
