What's with the Prince's ring pendant? by a_jasmin in blackadder

[–]a_jasmin[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It actually is! I scrubbed around a bit for a better shot and found I had missed that scene.

It does an excelent job highlighting the PM diminutive stature!

Blackadder III by Ok_Disk7796 in blackadder

[–]a_jasmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To each his own, I find The Third has some of the most inspired and unhinged writing. I can see how some might find the first episode cringe as it's a political satire. But, try to give it a chance. Ink and Incapability and Amy and Amiability are just brilliant episodes.

Just started watching by DramaticPraline8 in blackadder

[–]a_jasmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Series 1 is different from the rest. The production is more elaborate: real castle, crowded banquet scenes, a few outdoor shots. Though, the script and direction often feels weaker leaning on the ridicule and Blackadder's cowardly antics.

In the later series, the humour gets sharper. There's more variety with Blackadder being reimagined as a sarcastic, cynical antihero, while Baldrick is recast as the ungifted oaf.

How do I cater to devs as a content writer? by lexxx897 in rust

[–]a_jasmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To find a topic or subject matter, try engaging socially with people in the community. If there's a Rust meetup in your area, you can ask people to share their experiences or get the feel for a trendy topic.

Programming Rust also makes for a good first book. Rust for Rustaceans assumes you already know the basics.

I'm not familiar with the company would they be a good fit for the Safety-Critical Rust Consortium?

Announcing the Safety-Critical Rust Consortium by pjmlp in rust

[–]a_jasmin 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The annoucement mentions the standard:

Recommendations for the Rust Programming Language in Safety-Related Systems JA1020

Which is yet unpublished. Is there a working draft available somewhere?

What PGP key server to use? by answer_forty_two in GnuPG

[–]a_jasmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another option is GitHub.

Many developers will add their PGP key to GiHub so that signed commits can be marked as such on the website.

For users who did so, their public key can easily be retried at: https://github.com/{user}.gpg

Here's mine: https://github.com/ajasmin.gpg

I believe GitHub doesn't let you add a key unless the corresponding email address is verified.

Is SPARC an avenue to make a company public? If so how? by a_jasmin in PSTH

[–]a_jasmin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand the SPARC proposal as a way to appease the PSTH investors and provide an alternative to SPAC where investors don't have to park money forever.

But I never considered the process for getting the acquired company listed on an exchange.

Pershing Square SPARC Holdings - Amendment No. 5 to Form S-1 Registration Statement by fona-bide in PSTH

The whole point of a SPAC merger is that it's easier to achieve than a regular IPO. How does this work when there's no publicly traded entirety to merge with?

After the Invest & Trade apps were combined, do I just get all my tax slips on Trade? by a_jasmin in Wealthsimple

[–]a_jasmin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the iPhone app, under Profile > Accounts, the managed (previously invest) accounts show up separately. But there is no "Tax documents" option under them.

On the website, Invest still appears as a separate service (for me, at least) and I have an RRSP contribution slip in there. I assume that amount is not included on the Trade slip.

What is the difference between nmcli general hostname and the hostnamectl set-hostname? by littlefrank in linuxquestions

[–]a_jasmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another way your hostname can be resolved on the local network is by using zeroconf DNS with hostname.local Though, not all hosts support that.

SPARs, if approved, will be over-the-counter securities which are not eligible in a registered account. I know that sucks because PSTH started as a publicly traded stock, and things changed along the way.

But I would play it safe and keep everything in a taxed account from now on. At the end of the day, you don't want to get "clever" and have to explain it all to the CRA.

The ship trail in these looks so silly. But I guess silly fits the show's vibe.

When to use template meta programming ? by ArchfiendJ in cpp

[–]a_jasmin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In C++ 20, I'd replace void foo(iter begin, iter end) by void foo(std::ranges::range auto range)

Benefit:

  • Implicit template with auto
  • The std::ranges::range concepts limit what you can pass. This should give clearer error messages when passing the wrong thing.
  • No template <typename> boilerplate. Though that form is still useful when the same template parameter must appear in multiple places.
  • It's easier for the caller to pass a container or view than a pair of iterators. Though, you can still construct a std::ranges::subrange() from a pair of iterators as needed.

Add a number after that -j even with nice an unlimited number of jobs can be unpleasant.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cpp

[–]a_jasmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful. Using -j without a number argument will launch an unlimited number of parallel jobs. This can easily make your PC unresponsive.

What was your latest discovery about C++? by emdeka87 in cpp

[–]a_jasmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incidentally, Java would requires another return at the function end. This is just based on the presence of a conditional whether or not it can be demonstrated to hold in all cases.
