raverbashing··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Maduro is a coward and has no military power

People here saying it's "unjustified" should go and talk to a displaced Venezuelan.

raverbashing··on Finland detains ship and its crew after critical undersea cable damaged
They only know how to follow the manual

Good, another reason to seize them
raverbashing··on BYD Sells 4.6M Vehicles in 2025, Meets Revised Sales Goal
BYD selling to Europe would also need to conform to these
raverbashing··on BYD Sells 4.6M Vehicles in 2025, Meets Revised Sales Goal
I really wonder what are the parts where BYD gets its competitiveness from vs where it might be behind

Software explains a lot, dumping explains some of it but it might not be all of it

raverbashing··on Meta made scam ads harder to find instead of removing them
So there's Dieselgate for Meta as there is Dieselgate for Honey
raverbashing··on Bluetooth Headphone Jacking: A Key to Your Phone [video]
The epidemic of people not wearing headphones has been directly caused by the lack of headphone jacks
raverbashing··on Bluetooth Headphone Jacking: A Key to Your Phone [video]
Sometimes plugging a cord is a minor inconvenience.

But sometimes it's a large inconvenience

Example: if I'm using my laptop for work but at a slightly longer distance (think, using external monitor/keyboard) then it gets annoying (cord has to hang from the connection, or it gets between you and the keyboard, etc)

raverbashing··on Bluetooth Headphone Jacking: A Key to Your Phone [video]
Ah yes, the removal of headphone jacks, the gift that keeps on giving

Funny that there were always some people here pushing bt audio as "the future", whom I can only assume were the technically shallow but very opinionated people that would die on the smallest technical hills

raverbashing··on Ÿnsect, a French insect farming startup, has been been placed into liquidation
Yeah and to be honest the research on it is still at the start. Maybe with the advances in protein folding computational research we'll be able to understand this better

Because that's the biological equivalent of that catastrophic bug that only happens in very weird and very specific conditions

raverbashing··on Nicolas Guillou, French ICC judge sanctioned by the US and “debanked”
I doubt it. In fact I bet it will be quite the contrary
raverbashing··on Efficient method to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Yes

For the atmospheric one, grow trees and algae

raverbashing··on No strcpy either
Yes

And maybe even have a (arch dependent) string buffer zone where the actual memory length is a multiple of 4 or even 8

raverbashing··on Nicolas Guillou, French ICC judge sanctioned by the US and “debanked”
"Always has been" ;)
raverbashing··on HSBC blocks its app due to F-Droid-installed Bitwarden
You're the one advocating to help people whom not even their neighbours who share the same religion want nothing to do with it so I think you're the one who's joking
raverbashing··on Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain collapses as partner writes down deal by 99%
Hey just fool them once more and the counter goes to zero
raverbashing··on MongoBleed Explained Simply
Optimizing out a write to (example) an array on the stack seems fine to me.

Optimizing out a function call to a heap pointer (especially memset) seems wrong to me. You called the function, it should call the function!

But it's again the C language saving time not wearing a seatbelt or checking the tire pressure for saving 10s on a 2h trip

raverbashing··on Kidnapped by Deutsche Bahn
I wonder what's the level of mutual ineligibility between DE<>NL (probably DE is easier to NL) but it's funny how Germans sometimes seem to play dumb and not understand a thing in NL
raverbashing··on MongoBleed Explained Simply
Nope it is the C committee

> Once you accept that optimizing compilers do, well, optimizations

Why in tarnation it is optimizing out a write to a pointer out before a function that takes said pointer? Imagine it is any other function besides free, see how ridiculous that sounds?

raverbashing··on Kidnapped by Deutsche Bahn
Talk about a very appropriate domain name lol
raverbashing··on Kidnapped by Deutsche Bahn
I wonder if people think they will be taken seriously with so much hyperbole and drama

> Only then I notice: the driver has been speaking German only.

Oh wow a German conductor in a German train speaking German oh how awkward...

No you were not "kidnapped" your train just stopped at a different station.

> “That’s a different federal state.”

Yes and if you go to many cities in Europe and the US you can walk from one country to another. Oh wow shocking I know /s

Of course this is Deutsche Bahn at its best (in getting hand and feet mixed up) and that compensation is ridiculous. It should at least get your ticket back to the place you intended to go.

Neuwied to Troisdorf is 1h by car or train (in a good day of course)

raverbashing··on MongoBleed Explained Simply
Because, for the 1384th time, they're pretending they can ignore what the programmer explicitly told them to do

Creating memset_explicit won't fix existing code. "Oh but what if maybe" is just cope.

If I do memset then free then that's what I want to do

And the way things go I won't be surprised if they break memset_explicit for some other BS reason and then make you use memset_explicit_you_really_mean_it_this_time

raverbashing··on MongoBleed Explained Simply
Yeah the C committee is wrong here
raverbashing··on C++ says “We have try... finally at home”
But they're addressing different problems

Sure destructors are great but you still want a "finally" for stuff you can't do in a destructor

raverbashing··on Ask HN: Resources to get better at outbound sales?
1 - Understand the main processes that sales orgs use (MEDDIC or its variations) - you don't need to follow it in all its details but yes in the general idea

2 - Understand what is the problem you're solving and how companies can benefit from it

3 - Understand how companies actually do procurement

4 - Outbound sales are the ones that sucks the most. A rejection is just a rejection, don't take it personally (one part of having actual sales people is being a more impersonal process - they care about the sales but a rejection is taken less personally)

raverbashing··on Inside the proton, the ‘most complicated thing you could possibly imagine’ (2022)
Spallation is the easy part

But neutrons can't go around a tube being guided by magnetic fields

raverbashing··on Experts explore new mushroom which causes fairytale-like hallucinations
Capsaicin as well

And birds are immune to it

raverbashing··on How uv got so fast
I 100% agree with this

And it's true, while I disagree with a lot of systemd decisions focus has a leveraging effect that's disproportional

raverbashing··on My insulin pump controller uses the Linux kernel. It also violates the GPL
Good luck trying to enforce the GPL against a Chinese company
raverbashing··on Rob Pike got spammed with an AI slop "act of kindness"
But honestly who in tarnation thought that this would be a good idea?
