That’s wild! I would have liked to join LD again as well, it’s been ages. But life getting in the way.

Goodbye ssh access

Maybe it’s not automated and whoever is responsible isn’t awake yet.

Your user is still linked to your home instance. If that goes down, you don’t have access to it. You can still browse Lemmy from other servers.

Or right click the back button

I think it would help if people used the cross posting feature

Denying entry for people in need can’t be the answer. Honestly, it’s unfair that we were lucky enough to be born into a stable country. It’s unfair that other people have to live under dictators looking only for their personal interest. It’s unfair that people have to live under the consequences of global power struggles and it’s also unfair that Western countries exploit other nations and then don’t lend assistance when everything turns to shit.

How can you justify sending away these people that are fleeing from warzones or due to global warming. They are losing family and their homes and yet, they spent their life worrying while we can go to restaurants, cafes, play in parks, go hiking, swimming or biking without ever having to worry.

Leaning into the immigration policy of the right cannot be the answer, there has to be another solution.

Just wanted to mention at this point that the quantum computers in this post are the so-called superconducting quantum computers. There are also other architectures like ion and neutral atom quantum computers which are basically steel tubes with viewports that contain a ultra high vacuum. Lasers are used to control the ions or atoms.

There’s also photon quantum computers, but they are even more different and not in a really advanced stage yet.

I wonder if Nvidia / Intel would’ve been forced to help out AMD to get around a monopoly. Wasn’t that a thing with Microsoft and apple in the 90s?

Given that you probably are using pointers, and occasionally you are allocating memory, smart pointers handle deallocation for you. And yes, you can do it yourself but it is prone to errors and maybe sometimes you forget a case and memory doesn’t get deallocated and suddenly there is a leak in the program.

When you’re there, shared_ptr is used when you want to store the pointer in multiple locations, unique_ptr when you only want to have one instance of the pointer (you can move it around though).

Smart pointers are really really nice, I do recommend getting used to them (and all other features from c++11 forward).

As a computer science problem it ends at position = window center / 2 - object width / 2

In what sense for bad?
