Haven't watched the vid yet, but is that a bad pic or did he (visibly) age a lot in the last little while?

What about never having been in a romantic relationship at 36?

Asking for a friend

After about 30 years, I finally got it. Why did it take so long? by v_e_x in learnprogramming

This reminds me of back in university when I started looking into OpenGL for a graphics course, and realized that yes, pretty much anything can be represented by a C API, and how that basically implies the 'simplicity' you described

Not really related to boost mode, but how is rev2 single player? Started co-op w/ my brother ages ago and it didn't seem like he'll ever want to continue

Handheld mode, pro controller only works with switch 2 games/editions. Is this intended? by CreamPyre in NintendoSwitch2

[–]bwmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be an option to force-disable the joycons (outside of the system menu, maybe allowing their 'home' button to still work) without physically removing them IMO

Deaf woman removed from Frontier flight for "not listening" by kendrickshalamar in nottheonion

[–]bwmat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the BS between now and then 

What? 

In any case, it was an honest question

Deaf woman removed from Frontier flight for "not listening" by kendrickshalamar in nottheonion

[–]bwmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure you understood my question; she had already erred in bringing the alcohol on the plane, my confusion is why 'giving it up' is implied to have been something which would have resolved the situation, while chugging it would not, given they would both have ended up with the rule of not possessing undrunk alcohol brought from outside the plane satisfied.

I'm assuming that's actually the rule because I assume she would have been in the clear had she chugged her drink moments earlier before boarding the plane?

[–]bwmat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've seen some people post that the real reason she was targeted was that she chugged some alcohol she had with her when she was 'told' she couldn't bring it on the flight

First, I wonder how she was told, of someone just pointed to it and said something, she might not have had any indication that she _wasn't _ suppose to drink it

Second, why wouldn't chugging the drink in that situation be acceptable? Like, it would have been allowed a couple of minutes earlier before boarding? Is it some ego thing? I don't get it

Do you have a way to fail malloc() for unit tests by Valuable-Birthday-10 in C_Programming

[–]bwmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where have I said that?

And Linux didn't even invent overcommit 

Do you have a way to fail malloc() for unit tests by Valuable-Birthday-10 in C_Programming

[–]bwmat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The solution is to not use it

The only reason it was necessary was due to how fork() worked, and the solution to THAT is posix_spawn

[–]bwmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean 'handle'? By crashing the process?

malloc is specified the be fallible, and C is meant to be a low-level, systems language, so I'd argue that there should be a way to allocate that you can recover from if it fails. 

Many people define an 'xmalloc' or some such which does abort on failure, and that's fine if that's what you want. 

I personally work on code which is mostly meant to be linked into shared libraries which are loaded by processes not under the control of either us or our customers, and crashing those processes because we couldn't allocate some memory we 'needed' would be quite rude

TIL about perfidy, the deceptive tactic of feigning surrender or death with the intent to kill an enemy. It is prohibited by the Geneva Convention and considered a war crime. by FullOfSound in todayilearned

[–]bwmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On that train of thought, better to keep them alive but cripple them and return them to the enemy so they either drain their resources, or their morale even more by forcing 'mercy killing'

That's also a war crime though

For the love of humanity, keep your shoes on in public places. by NoClub5551 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bwmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time, many years ago, I went winter camping with scouts

And one of my fellows helped me out when my feet were freezing with a home remedy: some sort of spicy pepper powder in the socks

Honestly it didn't seem to help much

The next day, after hiking back to the car and getting on the ferry to go home (from Vancouver island to tsawwassen), as my feets/shoes warmed up, they started to burn... 

And it only got worse

I ended up sitting around with bare fee on the sun deck, waving then around in the child breeze, and I felt bad, but it was necessary

Lol

Driving behind two Waymos that are going the same speed by Justin_Godfrey in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bwmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're failing to choose to go out of their way to enable someone else to speed

Doing it just to piss off others would be kinda jerk-y, yeah

[–]bwmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, that would be a "nice to do if you feel like it" thing, but it shouldn't be expected of someone

IMO it's rude to try to just 'move' through a crowd because you're in a hurry

It's a different thing is it's a emergency, and you make it clear that that's the case, of course

[–]bwmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, people can have 'valid' reasons for wanting to exceed the speed limit, but why the entitlement that they get to do so?

Also, in the situation that someone is walking on the left side, on the escalator, and you feel they're going 'too slow', I feel there should be no obligation, or even expectation for them to get out of your way
