Its like if subroutine bar could say its going to execute at line N of routine foo. But if you were just reading foo then you’d have no clue that it would happen.

You can simulate this effect with bad inheritance patterns.

We let almost all manufacturing jobs go overseas just to cut labor costs and now we’re suffering the consequences and our government completely incapable of doing what’s necessary to bring that manufacturing capability back to the US. At this point basic Keynesians economic policy is tantamount to heresy for anyone but the far left. Its like we’ve adopted the economic policies we forced on third world nations, and found ourselves with a third world economy.

Being able to produce cheap drones as good as DJIs is far more important for national security than whatever espionage risk they pose. Cheap, easy to use, drones like the dji phantom are omnipresent in current wars. Banning them prevents us from learning via competition or basic reverse engineering.

I think your trying to argue with someone that isn’t me. South Africa changed for the better. I never said it was perfect. Just that decolonization is possible. I never said shit about Canada.

This loony bullshit is why tankies go full useful idiot and parrot shit most of them know isn’t true. The right-wing disinfo about Tianamen square - or any other communist atrocity - is so widespread. Tankies think that the most ultra counter-narrative will somehow combat that even if its just as loony.

That’s changing the society that I argued against. Also I’m pretty sure majority of land ownership in south Africa is still owned by whites.

Do I need to worry about using the same distro or a device with hardware related to the old one?

No. Only if you were doing something very weird on the old laptop or on the new laptop. In which case I’d assume you’d know what you were doing and wouldn’t be asking us.

There is no changing a society built upon colonization. Many have tried.

How does South Africa fit into that perspective?

In general I agree but this is Israel we’re talking about here.

My method names are the same way but I aggressively sort things into modules etc so it comes out the other way.

But if I was staring down dozens of these methods and no way to organize them, I’d start doing the sorted names just for ease of editing. L

Mercurial or darcs?

git is a way more important contribution to the world that the linux kernel IMO. Its basically the assembly line of almost all modern software production. And Linus actually wrote most of the initial code for it. With Linux he organized the project but was almost immediately not a major contributor. He developed git in the process of maintaining the linux repo.

You were supposed to use plastic coffee straws not a hard piece of metal. Turn a $1 bag of 100 straws into $25-$100 in laundry change depending on how much your reuse the straws.

Running and LSP on a monorepo will destroy those 4gigs no problem.

China censors what its people sees on its platforms so its people started using facebook. Then China started demanding that facebook censor itself in China (there was a major terror attack that sparked this) but Facebook refused so they banned it. Same thing happened with reddit and such.

Meanwhile, the US started censoring its major media platforms people either fled to niche libre sites like this or the shiny new addictive app from China. China doesnt care about what americans see. It’ll happily let americans see Israelis document their war crimes. The US said, sell to american investors, and be censored or be banned. ByteDance chose being banned. Welcome to the great american firewall.

China built their firewall to protect themselves from foreign “disinformation” campaigns. Just like we are now.

At the moment brainwashing the youths to support Gaza, but not for long…

How do those nuclear generators work without steam?

No. Persistent Data Structures are not mutable. The memory space of an older version is not rewritten, it is referenced by the newer version as a part of its definition. ie via composition. It can only safely do this if the data it references is guaranteed to not change.

x = 2 :: 1 :: Nil -- [2, 1]
y = 3 :: x -- [3, 2, 1]

In this example both x and y are single linked lists. y is a node with value 3 and a pointer to x. If x was mutable then changing x would change y. That’s bad™ so its not allowed.

If you want to learn more about functional programming I suggest reading Structures and Interpretation of Computer Programs or Learn You a Haskell for Great Good
