_ache_··on ElonJet – Account Suspended
This is not about freedom of expression. Freedom of speech is the ability to express yourself. It is not about the publisher publishing you. You can create your own paper/website/communication and distribute it.

No one is obligated to publish you.

_ache_··on ChatGPT, Rot13, and Daniel Kahneman
Well ... Only for english sentences.

If the prompt is a French question (encoded in base64)

> I'm sorry, but I'm unable to understand that message as it appears to be encoded in a way that I cannot interpret. Can you please provide more context or explain what you are trying to communicate?

But if the sentence contains `base64` (encoded in base64) it explains in spanish what is base64 !

_ache_··on ChatGPT, Rot13, and Daniel Kahneman
In French, ChatGPT sounds very natural yet a little formal. I didn't found any mistake but sometime the form of the verb seems unusual but correct.
_ache_··on Nobody tell Paul Graham but I rebuilt his site to be beautiful
I have dark-mode by default and the bug is on light-mode for me. I guess, the problem is that the switch mode isn't applied correctly to the search.
_ache_··on Nobody tell Paul Graham but I rebuilt his site to be beautiful
I not sure there is much to say.

Regular users will be interested in the most recent articles, seems fair to put them first.

Curious users will be interested to found an article that they may like. No need to say that a description of an article (and associated metadata) is far better than just the title.

And there is a search accessible in 1-click. Seems to me as a fair trade-off for every use case.

_ache_··on Fast midpoint between two integers without overflow
Division by 2 is one of the quickest operation. The correct implies 3 additions instead of one, so you go a point.

But y>>1 + x>>1 + (x & y & 1) is easier to remember than ((x^y)>>1) + (x&y).

_ache_··on Fast midpoint between two integers without overflow
x/2 + y/2 + (x & y & 1) should work.
_ache_··on Asymmetry detected in the distribution of galaxies
In fact, it may be even more exiting if they don't !
_ache_··on Show HN: Controversial quiz game generated by ChatGPT
USA invades Spain ? O_o

Isn't it a little exaggerated ?

_ache_··on Everything I wish I knew when learning C
It can happen easily if you don't pay attention with only the standard library.

    const char *hello = "Hello World !", *world = "World";
    char *tmpStr = strstr(hello, world); // IMPLICITE cast from const to non const
    if(tmpStr) {
        *tmpStr = 0; // Oupss 
    }
C is hard.

> You can cast T to const T, but not vice versa.

Humm, actually, you can. But guess what ? Modification of the underlying data is an UB !

_ache_··on 75% of the time we spend with our kids in our lifetime will be spent by age 12
Sorry but I don't plan to have kids by the age of 12.
_ache_··on Who’s your favorite public thinker?
Any homogeneous group has a limited number of opinions. Knowledge is a strength. The uniformity of this community is a great weakness, not a "healthy spectrum".
_ache_··on Who’s your favorite public thinker?
Maybe we are just a bunch of men. So we prefer men “public thinker”.

I guess we identify ourself to them easier.

_ache_··on Who’s your favorite public thinker?
Oh ... The toxicity is strong here.
_ache_··on Why I built a dictionary app
I did the same but not in an app. On a cli application. And I added a web interface too.

Work's pretty well. I use it every day. It's only in french.

The web version:

(My use case was that I need pronunciation of the words)

Just, be a man. You will look like you know everything constantly.

_ache_··on On the Weaponisation of Open Source
Weaponisation ?

I guess you are victimizes yourself. It is fair for free software developers to express themselves in the software they build.

If you don't want them to, or if you want a specific idea to be promoted, just pay for that.

_ache_··on On the Weaponisation of Open Source
> French being the French

That's racist. And a deny of history about the anti-french sentiment in the USA consequently of the opposition of French to to participate in a war that later you want you never make.

_ache_··on Data races in Python, despite the Global Interpreter Lock
I'm unable to reproduce. Increasing the number of iterations to `1000000` and using a temporary variable `c = counter + 1; counter = c` doesn't help either.

Why ? I'm on Linux, using Python 3.10. It's only happening using Python2.7.

_ache_··on Apple added an orange dot that’s a showstopper for live visuals
I guess the quickest fix is too change you menu bar color to orange.
_ache_··on Google DNS at 010.010.010.010
Yeah ... Just use 1.1.

Cloudflare is way better. It doesn't even look like an IP. And you just can't have shorter.
