A slightly better metric to train it on would be chances of survival/years of life saved thanks to the transplant. However those also suffer from human bias due to the past decisions that influenced who got a transpant and thus what data we were able to gather.
And then Discord arrived
The comparison with Discord makes non sense, the feature seems to be just a normal group chat, like the ones in Telegram/Whatsapp/iMessage. Discord’s killer feature is the ability to have multiple channels within a server, which allows more organization.
Even in english this isn’t true, for example dots can appear inside a sentence for multiple reasons (a decimal number, an abbreviation, a quotation, three dots, etc, etc), which would make you split it into more than one piece.
I hate all the cruft in my home directory, but I also hate when stuff suddently stop working after an update, or when all the documentation online talks about something that doesn’t work on my system or is not there anymore. Developers are the ones that will have to deal with people with these issues, so I can see why they are reluctant to implement the naive solutions that some ask for.
Not sure if Discord is the best example here, as it didn’t support the screen capture portal for a very long time.
I don’t get sports fanatics…
Most people just want to watch a match of their home town/favourite team maybe once a week. This is very moderate, what’s so bad about that? However in order to do that they either have to either spend an absurd amount of money to get access to all matches, or spend a bit less money to play lottery and hope the match they wanted to watch gets selected.
The only options you have are:
Dazn Standard (45€/month, 35€/month if you pay for 12 months) to get access to all the SerieA matches (and a whole bunch of other sports nobody cares about)
Dazn Goal Pass (20€/month, 14€/month if you pay for 12 months) to get access to 3 SerieA matches per week which you don’t get to choose (and a bunch of other sports nobody cares about)
Sky (16€/month for the first 18 months, then whatever Sky wants after that) to get access to 3 SerieA matches per week which you don’t get to choose (and a bunch of other stuff nobody cares about)
Most people care only about some specific matches, so your only option is Dazn.
Dazn is also a very crappy service, it often has connectivity problems and also has ads. Fun fact, if you get a connection issue while watching a Dazn ad, it will restart.
So, as usual, monopoly, high costs and crappy services drive piracy.
If you distribute your app via Flatpak, what benefit is there over “disk space” (irrelevant for all but embedded devices)
Everyone always focuses on disk space, but IMO the real issue is download size, especially when you update a bunch of flatpaks together.
I still prefer the upstream flatpaks over Fedora’s though.
TIL that Discover let’s you change it. AFAIK there’s no way in Gnome Software though
What is good is users having a choice, but Fedora Flatpaks are the default choice and users have no way to change it. Many don’t even realize they are using them instead of the official ones from Flathub.
I’m also surprised “disk space usage” isn’t an issue for many. I just cleared out dozens of GB of disk use by Rust, and I had to fix my CI/CD to clear itself properly.
For me it’s just a matter or clearing the target directories used by older rust releases when I upgrade every 6 weeks. cargo-sweep is a godsend for this task
Well, but then you’re basically just pushing the mutability onto the container
That’s the point, when programming with immutable structures you always pass the mutability onto the enclosing structure.
It’s a good strategy at times though. Like say you’re working in a language where strings are immutable and you want a string you can change. You can wrap it in a list along the lines
s=['foo']and pass references to the list around instead. Then if you gos[0]='bar'at some point, all the references will now see['bar']instead.
A list is an antipattern here IMO. Just wrap it in some dedicated object (see e.g. Java’s StringBuilder).
What you need here is not the stability in memory (i.e. of pointers, which you lose when you recreate an object) but instead just the stability of an identifier (e.g. the index into a list).
FYI there is an open source reimplementation of Flash from scratch called Ruffle that should solve all the security issues that Flash had. It runs on WASM so it’s compatible with modern browsers. The New York Times is using it to bring back some old interactive/animated pages that relied on Flash.
You keep the recovery codes unexposed to the internet or obfuscated in some way, unlike your usual password.
How is a strong password I used exclusively for Bitwarden “exposed to the internet”? I do see the value of this for people that don’t care about security and reuse the same password everywhere. In that case you would need something like phishing to expose the 2FA code or the recovery code, just a leak of the email-password combination from another website would not be enough. But what’s the point if I’m already using a unique strong password specifically for Bitwarden?
yes, that’s the whole point, to recover your account if you lose your MFA device. what are you even trying to say?
If you can login without the second factor then what’s the point?
The fact that no widely used LLM is open source is not a good reason to change its meaning.
From the wikipedia link you posted:
Account recovery typically bypasses mobile-phone two-factor authentication
It also lists more advantages than disadvantages.
It is not guaranteed to do that. It could also use a register or be optimized out completly (like in the example you posted in the other comment).
The stack pointer is also not changed for each local variable, but instead for each function call, so it wouldn’t make a difference anyway.
