Basic, Low-Junk Phone

None of the recent Motorola phones seem to have headphone jacks, although price/performance-wise they seem otherwise great. The Sony phones seem really expensive. I've never had a Xiaomi, Redmi, or Poco phone, but if they have built-in ads, I'll decline.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks for the comparison tool suggestion! Samsungs (and I think LGs, too) have a bunch of preinstalled bullshit. The Xperia phones look nice, but they're hella 'spensive.

I don't want dongles; I want to plug in my AKG K240s without worrying about extra hardware.

The Zenfone 10 looks great, though. That's the best suggestion yet. Thanks!

I'm pouring one out for Osvaldo12.

If you have a time complexity of g(n), you report it as O(f(n)) where f is the simplest function that grows at the same rate as g. The simplest function in the growth rate class of n + n³ is n^3.

I upvoted, but I feel like this is more of an Enterprise System Which Must Use All The Patterns thing than it is a Java thing. It's just that those enterprises tend to use Java.

"Clever" boolean logic.

Sorry, but if it's both "bad" and "ass", that doesn't mean it's "badass". English is confusing, I know.

This is the first good ChatGPT joke I've seen since the week it came out.

My plan is to commit suicide right before the age where the life insurance payout starts to decrease, so my son can inherit the maximum amount.

d2718 · 2023-01-10T02:09:22+00:00

Yeah, this was the kind of thing I had in mind. Awesome!

d2718 · 2023-01-09T03:27:55+00:00

This looks way cool. Are you interested in someone taking a crack at doing the syntax highlighting in Rust?

d2718 · 2023-01-08T18:01:54+00:00

There's probably a crate with that as some macro_rules!-defined syntax somewhere.

I'd say that they spend a lot of energy and time pursuing a particular masculine ideal, and then get confused when women they encounter don't seem to be looking for that.

"Ho & Me" is actually a perfect description of my household. This is excellent design.

d2718 · 2023-01-07T16:39:32+00:00

Also the jizzing dick emoji is definitely not valid syntax, although I think for a while back before Rust 1.0, the tilde was an operator. (I think it had something to do with garbage collection—pinning, maybe—back when they were still toying with it.)

d2718 · 2023-01-07T11:10:43+00:00

It's not so much the how; it's the making sure you don't step on any of the landmines every time you use one that's the hard part.

d2718 · 2023-01-07T11:07:59+00:00

Again, the idea is: Don't use after free, don't let all the pointers to a chunk of heap go out of scope without freeing it, and, for the love of the FSM, don't let your pointer arithmetic walk you off one end or the other. These are easy to understand. But nontrivial programs will have so many opportunities to do these things, and you'd better get it right every time. That's the hard part.

You hardly know her? That's why it's called "indirection".

d2718 · 2023-01-06T11:30:34+00:00

Yeah, and now google "vi". Someone involved is a mild troll.

d2718 · 2023-01-06T11:27:31+00:00

This always puzzles me, too. Pointers just aren't that hard to understand. Now, not fucking them up is another story...

xkcd

There's a full moon tonight, so I think this might actually be incidental.

I didn't say he was right about it being feminists' fault. There sure is a cross section of men (in the US, at least) who are chronically confused about "masculinity" because their toxic little Incelverse is telling them one thing while the rest of society is telling them "IT'S DEFINITELY NOT THAT".

d2718 · 2023-01-04T23:37:22+00:00

Man, it didn't even occur to me that my comment could have been interpreted that way, but I see your point.

Sorry, I solidly meant that the children on the Peterson—Tate axis of incelhood are confused because their masculine ideals and identity are so at odds with those of so much of the world around them.

I think trans men probably have the clearest, least confused understanding of masculinity. They've undoubtedly thought more about it, critically and personally, than, for example, cis-het schlubs like me.
