“fn” was just one example. There’s also other abbreviations like “pub”, “impl”, “extern”, “mut”, “ref”, “bool”, “u64” And it’s true that some of these keywords are only relevant in Rust, however other langues have their own specific keywords, and they tend to be longer. In languages like Java (which is the worst example I can think of), you see things like “private static boolean” as function definition. In c++, you have to type “unsigned long” or even “unsigned long long” to represent “u64” (depending on data model).

Keywords aren’t variables

One of the reasons i find it so hard to use non-Rust languages is how ugly they typically are by comparison. “fn” instead of “function” is such a great example of saving key presses where they’re most needed. And you get very used to seeing compact abbreviations. Idk if that’s what you’re talking about though.

In my personal tests of jxl, it manages filesizes 1/9th that of png while remaining visually identical (unless looking VERY closely). It’s a massive improvement over jpeg and honestly a replacement for png in most cases.

Like I’m saying 8MB for a 8000x6000 file at max quality (estimating from memory)

This video is so fucking funny lol. I can’t tell whether it’s ironic or not

Good thing there’s half of a catch point there to save them

Gnome largely refers to the software suite. gtk is included in the set of libraries anyone can use to make any software. So yes, anyone can use full screens when making software with gtk, but the pre-existing gnome software doesn’t.

Maybe defederation or privatization

The position of the sun is already not exact relative to the time. Check when the sun rises and sets for you. Very random times. The further away from the equator you are the fuckier they get.

I got multiple of my friends on GMT/UTC and it’s the best thing ever. Time is guaranteed and simple with them.

I find that if the speed limit in a city interstate is 65, people go 70, but if it’s 55, people go 80-85

woah RPN is awesome

Upvotes and downvotes are only relevant to the post and not the user now, since karma (thankfully) isn’t a thing. It even further encourages using downvotes as disagree buttons, since it doesn’t hurt the poster. But yeah, it also makes sense to downvote irrelevant posts instead. The problem is that there are only two buttons.

I pointedly avoid ChatGPT for that reason. When the NovelAI leak happened, it was amazing, and the open ecosystem flourished in response. I just can’t believe they call themselves OpenAi.

My Windows installation breaks and has to be installed every 9 months on average and its so fun

This is paywalled lol.

The south china sea is bordered by many nations. It does not belong to china.

Does anyone understand the impacts of this (genuine question)? I doubt the crack actually goes very deep, and is probably just in the deck armor. But that’s probably very expensive to replace. I assume the point here is that it’s ridiculous their carriers are cracking on their own while in active service, probably due to negligence.

Also, is it possible that’s just water or dirt? Or are we sure that’s a crack?

This is fucked up! Planes crash at lower altitudes from wake turbulence from much farther away, and that’s from being behind passenger jets! Not only do they crash, but they sometimes rip planes apart where they stand! This is an act not just of warning/bullying but of blatant aggression.
