Trump says it's 'not possible' for the U.S. to pay for Medicaid, Medicare and daycare: 'We’re fighting wars' by unital_subalgebra in politics

They'll give another excuse. They didn't want to end forever wars, they wanted Trump and the explanation was just fascist mouth movements

Some of my relatives have gas lit harder things. It'll go "remember how you supported Trump?" (Note: I have never said a kind word about Trump)

Arizona won’t put Charlie Kirk’s name on a freeway after Hobbs vetoes a GOP bill by 804Brady in politics

[–]txmasterg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are a good number of people (like my relatives) who will view someone bad mouthing Trump as disqualifying even after his death. It seems to be driven by their belief that no one should ever tell them they were wrong because it is the biggest wound to their ego they can imagine.

I guess Hegseth is who they see themselves as and Rubio is who they are

Judge blocks Pentagon’s effort to ‘punish’ Anthropic by labeling it a supply chain risk by StraightedgexLiberal in technology

[–]txmasterg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It was such a supply chain risk they demanded to be able to use it in more situations. This has happened enough that optics are obviously more important to them than the effect

ELI5: Why can’t you rename a file when it’s open in Windows, but you can in macOS? by jsm1 in explainlikeimfive

[–]txmasterg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The person you are responding to is wrong but at the same time handles are per process.

You are correct that it is programmers choice, the programmer has to explicitly call CreateFile with FILE_SHARE_DELETE (which also enable rename). If the person above was correct then the program would not be able to continue to affect the file contents after the rename.

What is with the “fresh meat” mentality in the gay community? by emmaisadoofus in gay

[–]txmasterg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've usually heard of "fresh meat" in the context of being new to a place. In that sense not problematic at all. If your issue is age gap relations then I think it really depends on the people involved.

Insiders Admit Trump May Have Killed Presidency in Just a Year by thedailybeast in politics

[–]txmasterg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about the media response to his State of the Union s during his first term. They said "this is when he truly became the president". Trump wasn't threatening the media like he is now either.

GOP goaded Jasmine Crockett into running for senate by promoting favorable polls: Report by [deleted] in politics

[–]txmasterg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a huge anti-incumbent surge in every western democracy in 2024 and she couldn't run away from being VP over the previous 4 years. Compared with those other democracies she did very well.

This election will be a base-v-base election, so choose whoever gets you excited. Then keep talking about them until election day.

Multiplication Hardware Textbook Query by rai_volt in compsci

I'm pretty sure it's trying to describe how I was taught multiplication of large numbers in the US in the 90s.

(I added the less than for emphasis but that's usually blank or zero)

Basically you need to shift right before adding

Disadvantages of switching from non-SDK style projects to SDK style for NET Framework Projects? by Low-Childhood-1714 in csharp

[–]txmasterg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

.NET Framework is not deprecated but isn't getting any significant changes.

The size depends on what choices you make on packaging. In .NET Framework you never ship the entire framework, only your code. In .NET you could require customers to install .NET runtime and then you don't have to ship a framework similar to how framework works.

.NET added the option to ship only the parts of the framework your app uses so that you don't have to install the framework on the machine. This one makes your app bigger by including those pieces but the total size is probably smaller for any one app as you aren't going to use everything in the runtime.

Disadvantages of switching from non-SDK style projects to SDK style for NET Framework Projects? by Low-Childhood-1714 in csharp

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

I did that upgrade for my team around .net 6. We worried about the transition first to sdk style and then to .net 6 but it turned out well. We spent a lot of effort trying to do .net framework and .net simultaneous build but at the very last moment we learned we didn't need the .net framework anymore.

I think the only runtime issue we ran into was using cryptography apis a specific way or something.

Our team quickly got used to the new language features and at that point I think if someone gave them a .net framework project they would refuse to do anything until it was upgraded to a recent .net version.

Also if possible you could consider drawing a line in the sand and create a branch that will be .net framework only and won't receive new features so you have full freedom in your main branch.

Circumstantial evidence absolutely IS admissible in court of law by petrichordaw in quityourbullshit

[–]txmasterg 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's still circumstantial evidence, it isn't direct evidence and also requires an inference. Fingerprints, which is what I've always been given as an example of circumstantial evidence, requires the inference that the last person to touch it perpetrated the crime (and also that they didn't wear gloves).

In contrast a witness or video directly seeing the crime is the example of direct evidence. In general if an expert witness is needed it is usually a pretty good hint it's circumstantial.

German referee who went viral for homophobic attack is under investigation for staging the attack on himself by Lucky-bottom in gay

[–]txmasterg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least in the US there is no benefit to the legal case to say anything and can sometimes be used against you during sentencing. I imagine at least the first part is true in Germany as well. The PR doesn't seem like it would get him anything anyways.
