I worked on software at one point that had at it’s core a number of “modes” that it switched between. It was, at the time, in the process of migrating from enums and switch/case trees to an inheritance based system.

In practice this meant there was a single instance of “Mode” for each mode which used pointer equality to switch/case on modes like an enum.

To add a new mode (that did nothing) I think I had to change about 6 different places.

These guys are Canadian and I’ve always thought their tech seemed really creative and novel

Scrum that’s not adapted to your needs isn’t scrum.

Can you just drop to assembly for what you want to do? Gnu compilers even have inline assembly, but with any compiler you should at least be able to built a separate, assembly, object file.

I know you put in scare quotes, but I have to note for newcomers: as an open software built on an open web standard, 3rd party apps are first class citizens for Lemmy

If it doesn’t fulfill the requirements it’s not any kind of solution

This article seems to have a bizarre assumption all the way through that the schools must use Microsoft 365.

Obviously Microsoft is failing morally and probably legally (what else is new), but the schools also have a moral and legal requirement to choose software which protects the rights of the children. Microsoft is sort of right in the way they surely didn’t mean; schools have the responsibility to not use Microsoft 365.

It’s a watermelon. It’s used as a symbol for Palestine due to it’s alignment with the colours of the flag

The coal plants are decommissioning due to costs, renewable energy is booming, and (obviously due to the ban) there is no local nuclear industry or expertise. Even if you manage to lift the ban, which nobody is trying to do*, nuclear would not be replacing coal plants here, but might divert renewable funding. In other countries I have no doubt building more nuclear could offset coal, not here.

* The coalition claims to be in favour of nuclear power, but they’ve spruiked it before in opposition, and nothing gets tabled when they’re in power. It’s got as much chance of happening as high speed rail.

I don’t think there are too many people arguing against fission who are in favour of coal

Header files aren’t part of the C++ language at all.

Also mandatory “C++/C is not a language”

Member functions that are defined within a class definition are implicitly inline

I’ll throw in, YouTube channels are all fully functional RSS feeds, and you don’t need to interact with YouTube at all to get your subscriptions.

Nicotine eCigarettes are still available by prescription

I disagree with the chosen changes , but they come as a result of nicotine being found in the vast majority of “nicotine-free” vapes and juices. So we’re not really coming from a position of “choose what goes into your body”.

WD-40 leaves residue, it is not suitable for cleaning

The FTC argued this would happen, it’s the court that swallowed Microsoft’s tripe. This is the FTC’s “I told you, bro!”

Is that the OSS F_Droid feeder or the other one?

FYI Israel is no longer doing roof knocking

Software wise, it’s not. The difference is in transparency and ownership
