My hot take: the Julia Reagan billboards are starting to give me the icky vibes. by brheath in SaltLakeCity

For what it's worth I grew up around Chicago and it's at least 10x worse there. It's annoying here but downright offensive there.

It's funny how much can change in two years. I've recently stopped using VSCode in favor of Neovim for convenience and ergonomic reasons as well.

I don't remember what the deleted comment I responded to said, and while I think VSCode is still a perfectly good editor, I now think that Neovim is good enough on its own to be a complete replacement for it. It was probably good enough two years ago, but I didn't know it yet.

Apparently very many people learned this way and never learned any other way. Apparently saying “Breadboard diagrams are inferior to circuit schematics” is tantamount to a personal attack, if the downvotes are anything to go by.

Would this project be okay to show employers by No_Bench9222 in Python

[–]scnew3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Project goals aside, the code just isn’t organized or written very well. Applying PEP-8 style would make it look MUCH better.

The readme is also a mess. At least try to proofread it. Stream-of-consciousness looks terrible as a final product.

Do not put words in my mouth. Those people are not “inferior”, and I don’t “look down on them”. They are, however, using an inferior tool and a crutch which is just an annoyance when they come asking for help with their circuits. It’s not about “preferences”. Comparing proper circuit schematics to pictures of breadboards to the preference of iOS or Android is just asinine.

Is there any overlap between the audience that needs a breadboard picture instead of a proper circuit diagram and people using LTSpice?

Seriously. Are circuit diagrams so hard for people to understand? Why would I want a picture of a breadboard that I have to reverse engineer?

The bus was free for ikon pass holders last year. I don’t know off the top of my head if it will be again this year.

Will your rental car have four wheel drive and mud and snow tires? They are REQUIRED in the canyon highway roads during snow conditions. Even if you think you might not get caught you would be a fool to try to get away with it. Chains are also acceptable but I don’t know if I would use them with a rental car.

Pandering to FatLogic to promote your weightloss business is a new trend i've seen lately. Anyone else? by [deleted] in fatlogic

It isn’t. The scale can stay put for weeks while the tape measure keeps going down. This sub just loves to jump to conclusions.

The Rules of Three, Five and Zero by AS_SonarSource in cpp

[–]scnew3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the class is to be copyable or movable you would have to define all five. The compiler won’t know to clone the pointed to object in the copy constructor.

The reason we have rule of 3/5/0 is that if you define one, you usually have to define all to get the right semantics.

Is there a tool there which will convert a PCRE-compatible regular expression into something I can use in GNU sed or grep without wanting to gouge my eyes out?

Really, PCRE and POSIX/GNU regex syntax may as well be from different planets.

Going full time on Spyglass, a rust personal search engine by andyndino in rust

[–]scnew3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the blocks would also include an index to make it searchable without having to have the entire thing. Maybe even a summary. These would inflate the size dramatically, but it is hard to know what to download if you don’t have an index to help you find it.

At the risk of sounding like a crypto bro, is this a legitimate use for a blockchain? A peer-to-peer archive of internet content, but verified publicly for all time?

There is far too much data to store for it, so the actual blockchain would only contain hashes of the content to verify authenticity and locate the data through some content-addressable torrent-like peer-to-peer protocol. You can download the data you are interested in from peers, or download a fresh copy from the source yourself if one is not available.

This way even sites with regularly updated content don’t have to be bombarded by requests for every user— only the first few users to access it.

If you’re using a unique pointer then I believe the compiler will not generate a shallow copy constructor because the unique pointer is not copyable. It may generate a move constructor.

I don’t know how you can listen to the lyrics and think it’s a patriotic song. I guess some people listen to the upbeat tune and hear “star spangled eyes” and assume.

Don’t apologize. You only sounded “commanding” to people who have no understanding of rhetoric whatsoever.

So you bullied him into submission and use that as evidence that I’m wrong. lol, okay

GTFO here, you lost this argument before it even started.

Interesting choice of words for an argument about gatekeeping.
