  • All of Telegram's Lies About Privacy

    Jump

  • They still don’t have backups on iOS which is a deal-breaker for me.

  • Federal grand jury indicts six men for conspiring to steal and re-sell restaurant cooking oil

    Jump

  • How is this not an actual crime? The restaurants had the oil in collection containers to be a collected by someone they had an agreement with, and these people came around and stole it.

    Why are American universities so expensive?

    Jump

  • Going to a private university certainly isn’t a requirement, and in-state tuition for public universities is much, much lower (but still too high).

  • When describing color temperatures, the "warm" color tones actually have colder temperatures.

    Jump

  • Also a bleak winter day is usually mostly whites and blues.

  • Yeah I’ve opted out every time (a couple times each at three different airports) and haven’t had any issues, the agents I’ve seen knew exactly what to do if someone opts out.

  • Every airport I’ve gone through that’s doing it has half a dozen signs up as you move through the line telling you that you can opt out by letting them know you want to.

  • I’ve refused it a few times now and every agent knew exactly what they needed to do.

  • Oh boy what a beautiful regex. I'm sure it does something logical and easy to understand.

    Jump

  • Yes, the first one matches only 2 more characters while the second matches 1 or more. Also the +? is a lazy quantifier so it will consume as little as possible.

  • I Don’t Know Why Women Keep Laughing at Me When I’m Out Driving my Tesla Cybertruck

    Jump

  • That doesn’t really make sense, even if they’re in the 37% tax bracket if the wrap costs $100 they only save $37 on taxes.

  • Would this be a correct syntax for error handling when making an http request?

    Jump

  • They did say they haven’t learned the ? operator (that’s chapter 9 of the rust book), so this approach might be better for once they get there.

  • Would this be a correct syntax for error handling when making an http request?

    Jump

  • You can use expect on Options and Results to extract the value and panic on Error in the same line (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/result/enum.Result.html#method.expect).

     rust
        
let html_content = reqwest::blocking::get(&permalink).expect("the request should succeed");

    You can also use unwrap if you don’t need a custom message. The ? operator is definitely the most compact way of handling errors, and for good reason because the rust developers want people to use it. Once you learn that the code will become somewhat smaller.

  • ‘Giant bronze poop’ statue ‘honoring’ those involved in Jan. 6 riot appears on National Mall

    Jump

  • Terrible headline, I assumed the statue was suggesting the people involved are shit. The fact that it’s on a desk makes it very different, this is despicable.

  • Oklahoma seeks to buy 55,000 Bibles – exactly like the ones Trump is hawking

    Jump

  • The point is the requirements have been tailored so that they aren’t just buying bibles for schools (already bad), but their only option meeting the requirements will be the Trump one.

  • About that...

    Jump

  • I wouldn’t say the OS is Linux any more than the OS of an Apple computer is XNU. Linux is just the kernel. Similarly the other OS isn’t “Windows NT kernel,” but Windows 10 or Windows 11.

  • What's the easiest way to host a music colletion (FLAC)?

    Jump

  • I’m not sure when you were using it, but Navidrome definitely let’s you play individual songs and shuffle.

  • Random raspberry pi freeze

    Jump

  • fsck almost certainly isn’t going to cause loss of data, but it will likely inform you about a loss that already occurred if that is the issue you are having.

  • Google and Apple lose their court fights against the EU and owe billions in fines

    Jump

  • Yeah but also this is only for their EU profit, so it’s really an even higher percentage.

    It doesn’t really make sense to talk about money they made in other countries when talking about these fines, as if they make 5 billion in profit in country X and get fined 6 billion, they would still have lost money for operating in the country regardless of how much money they made other places. Since they lost money in the country, that fine would be high enough for them to want to fix their law breaking or totally pull out of the country, and so the fine accomplishes its purpose.

  • UK's first 'teacherless' AI classroom set to open in London

    Jump

  • To be fair the glorified babysitter wouldn’t require 4+ years of education on educating children, so they probably couldn’t just be “simply teaching.” This is still an awful idea, they seem to be trying to save money by paying a glorified babysitter a lower wage than a teacher. Private schools can be for profit in some place, I wonder if that applies here.

  • The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates

    Jump

  • I’m pretty sure that it’s true that citing sources isn’t really relevant to copyright violation, either you are violating or not. Saying where you copied from doesn’t change anything, but if you are using some ideas with your own analysis and words it isn’t a violation either way.
