Among other things it lets you define the return type in terms of the arguments to the function.

Guess my aeroplane mode is never turning off now.

For the topic of the thread I’ll throw in “toilets that are so bad at flushing that you need to keep a plunger next to them”

The only time I’ve owned a plunger was in a house with a broken clay sewer pipe that was about to kick the bucket.

Wordless instructions make the world a more equitable place by making everyone equally frustrated

+1. BinaryEye is far more reliable than the QR code reader in my camera.

It also has support for a large number of QRlike and barcode formats, and generation as mentioned.

I put a 3060Ti in my latest build. The NVidia drivers would consistently hard lock my PC after about a day of uptime no matter what I did. I spent ages trying to hunt down the issue, and waited through several kernel and driver versions in vain hope, fuelled by people insisting that the NVidia drivers were “good now”. I switched to nvidia-open once that released (or once I realised it existed) to no avail. Nouveau was not available at all for those cards when I started and was still missing critical features at the end.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever encountered a kernel crash in nearly two decades of Linux computing. And second, and third and…

I switched to an AMD card, a 7600 (a generation newer! In case anyone thought this was a “new hardware” issue) and the problem was immediately gone, and my PC has returned to being my sanctuary.

My problem is exceptionally rare - I think i found one other person experiencing it over the course of 1-2 years. But the concept that NVidia had redeemed themselves continues to ring hollow for me.

“Easily” is definitely a stretch with the ones we were just given

Making fake rocks with concrete

I always thought the random button should lead to fascinating things, but it really shows how much of Wikipedia is just random dudes and small towns.

I don’t think it shouldn’t be that, but I wish there were some filters for random

Secret out-of-court settlement is an option.

Also known as “bribing your way out of the law”

Paru started as a rewrite of Yay by the main developer

Partitioning is something I don’t mess with on the terminal. Last time I set up a new drive I used SystemRescueCD first just to use gParted before installing arch (manually)

What was your experience with Inkscape and Godot? I have those both installed from repo.

I’ve never felt the need to use flatpak at all on arch.

Check ArchLinux.org for news before you kick off an update. It’s got an RSS feed and a mailing list if that helps.

Read the Wiki, and turn to it first for any issues you have.

This one may be a special “me” problem, but if you’re manually interacting with wpa_supplicant, stop and go read the Networking page in the Wiki again.

Learn how to use journalctl (at least superficially) before something goes wrong.

Generally you want to restart after an update to the kernel or graphics drivers or things start degrading strangely.

Previously in bash & sed, in case anyone else was curious.

The total functional component was previously 25 lines long. Personally I would consider this different enough to be an entirely different project, but I guess this is a good way for the developer to avoid being asked to maintain something they’re not interested in.

Yes, although admittedly I only know it from Umberto Eco’s Ur-Fascism

Worth clarifying that it requires individuals to insert backdoors if told to, it’s not a blanket backdoor and frankly I’d be shocked if it held up in the high court.

Nothing ever makes it there though, and it’s full of baked in secrecy. I don’t use local or US services for anything where privacy is important for that reason.

Good thing Australia doesn’t have electronic voting, hey?

The concept of a “social contract” is regularly used to deny rights to prisoners.

It’s not necessary, even to address the “paradox of tolerance”, it’s actively harmful, and it’s erroneous anyway (contracts are necessarily consensual^[1], but exceptionally few people get to make a choice about the society they live in)

That would be illegal in Australia and I have to imagine most functional democracies since it has the potential to link voters to votes and undermine the electoral process.

Where are you that there are cameras in the booth?
