You can often buy the “digital signage” of TVs. Same pannel, but it’s just a screen. I think it’s targetting businesses but you can buy them too!

With this parliament the military will stay and grow and become more and more unavoidable. Service citoyen would have countered that…

That’s an option I would accept too.

What is not well enough reprensented in this post is that the Service Citoyen was not only about makimg women do a mandatory service. It was to transform the outdated and regressive mandatory service for men into a more general service to the collective that treated security not as a entirely militaristic issue but as a wholistic one.

Now parliament will interpret this as a mandate to cull the existing useful civil service and force every men (and potentially women too) into the military.

😨

Don’t tell me it is law already!

It’s actually interesting! It means that there is a way out: If europe accepts to help keep the US out of Beijings business. I don’t actually know how that could be done. And the EU doesn’t have that kind of coesion.

To those who know the product, is if possible to extend the connected functionnalities with selfhosting?

I dislike treating None as an equivalent for the empy list, but that does not further the discussion…

I hurt myself in confusion while reading the second quote. Is it the right quote? (also, nazi (relating to the nsdap) is probably not the right word, did you mean fascist?)

I agree. So if None is a valid input we should check it first, and then check if the length is zero. In this situation, we see a type error only if the programmer screwed up and everything is explicit

I don’t really understand the point about exceptions. Yeah “not foo” cannot throw an exception. But the program should crash if an invalid input is provided. If the function expects an optional[list] it should be provided with either a list or None, nothing else.

Passing None to a function expecting a list is the error…

Well, in your case it is not clear whether you intended to branch in the variable foo being None, or on the list being empty which is semantically very different…

Thats why it’s better to explicitly express whether you want an empty collection (len = 0) or a None value.

I really dislike using boolean operators on anything that is not a boolean. I recently made an esception to my rule and got punished… Yeah it is skill issue on my part that I tried to check that a variable equal to 0 was not None using “if variable…”. But many programming rules are there to avoid bugs caused by this kind of inattention.

Yeah, the fact that Putin is not really pushing for a ceasefire means that they are not as out-of-stock as the headline suggests…

Great article I think. I don’t have a lot of experience in zig, but I feel like it’s just a better version of C. More specifically, C with a more modern synthax, better defined behaviour, better error handling. As the author highlights it, using the comptime and reflection to make generics can easily become a footgun and make the code messy. But hey, having the option to make generic code is still better than C.

This is so terrifyingly close to what we see in the US… Is this an accurate representation of the historical facts? Is this really not historical manipulation to sound like what is happening today? I cannot discern truth from lies here :'(

I have my anti-confirmation-bias-bias activating strong while reading this article

edit: raising suspicion is that I could not find evidence that nazis used “draining the swamp” refering to the parliament

Unless your encoding has a special value that, by definition, is euler’s constant :p

Does a microkernel matter for anyone but nerds? Maybe companies that make variants of the OS?
