I don’t speak hebrew but someone online said that this is an unnecessarily literal translation of "double colon" and it’s not what most developers would call it. Take that with a grain of salt though.

I’m sure people will hate on this because it’s Adobe but their Premier Rush is great for extremely simple editing purposes. It does constantly feel like you’re being scammed though because there are some checkboxes labelled with a little st

Yeah default users are fine, but the basic architecture of Linux (and, to my knowledge, all operating systems) means that there’s no meaningful way to create a user without creating a password, so you can’t have a default user without a def

I think you have a misunderstanding of what the change is and what the previous situation was.

Good, but frankly it’s pretty embarrassing for them that it took the threat of a multi-million pound fine before they made this change.

Right now it would be pretty noisy even on slow-moving games, but it’s a good start. I’ve never done graphics work professionally so take this with a grain of salt, but I’d wager that fast-moving games can probably actually get away with tr

The sony cameras support a fair amount of external control, I’ve never written code for it directly but third-party apps have no issue other than the requirement that you connect to the camera as a wifi access point, which is a pain but und

I had a sticker on my work laptop at my old company with the company logo edited to say "ecstasy" and no-one ever commented on it

Ah yes, the best way to bury a moral scandal of the kind that usually gets forgotten in a week is to undermine the trust of almost every single user worldwide. This is a very good conspiracy.

It’s not just "social media junkies", a very pretentious phrase to use considering you’re writing it in a comment on a social network. Hundreds of thousands of apps use Facebook APIs, often in the background too (including FB&#x27

This outage also affected whatsapp, one of the most widely-used communication technologies in the world. It also almost caused me to be locked out of my apartment, were it not for random chance and the kindness of a stranger, but I’m glad t

Can we please stop posting Foone to HN? They’ve stated multiple times that they don’t want to be posted here and every time they end up posted they complain and ask for it to be taken down.

This is the fundamental observation that the Zig language is built on, and it proves to be an extremely powerful way of understanding your system when taken to its logical extreme.

Because it’s an effect system, it’s not returning monads. It’s a different kind of type system with different restrictions and benefits. You could make every function implicitly pure, but that would be syntactic sugar, as opposed to Haskell

Unless someone with more experience can chime in and add some more info, I’ll say that my understanding is that HDDs are better for archival since they last longer when not in use. Certainly the price of SDDs, while within reach for most no

The entire point is that they’re not being paid handsomely, they’re being taken advantage of. Did you even read past the headline?

The amount of power that Nim has is absolutely obscene. I don't really have a good use-case for it right now, but it's a language that I know I'd enjoy if I got into it.

Rental properties are inherently rationed by the fact that there is no reason to rent more than one flat in the same city.

I completely agree, and it’s also a problem that other immensely powerful languages like Ruby and C++ have but Lisp has it far worse since A) the more arcane abstraction features are more immediately accessible from day one of writing Lisp

I lost my password, access to my email address and all information that could have been used to identify me like my paypal account. This was somewhere around 2017. It took 2 emails to get them to transfer my account to my new email address

This would be a fantastic way to teach programming to kids, in the same way that redstone or (for people of my age) wiremod makes programming tangible and feel more real. I’d love to see this adopted in schools or something. Really well-des

How much control do you have over rendering without having to discard Bevy's renderer and asset server entirely? A big problem I had with Amethyst (and, honestly, other big engines like Unity and Godot) is that you have very little abi

Ok I misunderstood "determined" to have its meaning closer to "discovered", and then subsequently misunderstood "turkey" to mean the animal. Definitely made me do a double take

I self-medicated with caffeine for my ADD for years, not realising that my (pretty serious) case of the condition was absolutely not normal, and eventually realising that I needed a diagnosis at the age of 24. Even after that, I still took

People with racist or otherwise regressive views know that these views will (rightly) get them criticised by the majority, and so they won't couch them in those terms precisely, but it's often very clear when you take context into

Genuine question - I hang around in some pretty seriously left-wing, often social-justice-obsessed circles and I've never heard anyone complain about the term black market, or want to pretend that slavery doesn't go on in the midd

I know the Rust Evangelism Strike Force is a meme, but Rust genuinely has a good solution to language rot with its "edition" concept, where the language can be updated and the compiler just converts all code to a mutually-interope
