Glaubt der ernsthaft, dass ein iPhone weniger als 25% teurer wäre, wenn es in den USA hergestellt werden würde? Das ist einfach eine komplett wertlose Androhung, weil Apple gezwungenermaßen so wie bisher weitermachen muss.
Das Einzige was die Androhung bewirkt, ist dass Aktionäre abspringen und stattdessen ihr Geld lieber in Firmen außerhalb der USA investieren.

I mean, there’s definitely also some neurotypicals that put lots of skill points into languages. I could imagine that auties are more fascinated by the rulesets, whereas for neurotypicals these tend to rather just be a means to an end…?

I think, it’s mainly just companies trying to get their foot into the market. If Microsoft can establish LLMs as alternative to search, then it’s Google that loses market share. And once they control a share of the market, then they figure out how to capitalize on that.

At the very least, they can use it to control what information is available to the public and how it’s framed. But they can also integrate things like the LLM generating an affiliate link when asked about a product, or just generally weaving ad placements into the generated answers.

Krass, also fußt das Klischee, dass gebildete Menschen eher Brille tragen tatsächlich irgendwo in der Realität.

Naja, dann würden sie ja aber nicht “Zitronengeschmack” schreiben, sondern “mit frischer Zitrone”. Also wahrscheinlich doch eher ein gammelnder Duftbaum, der durch die Bottiche gezogen wird.

Damn, I’m neither deep into history nor into movies, but I always found those scenes to be immersion-breaking, because well, apparently I was right to think that it made no sense to have your archers pause shooting. And yeah, now I’m wondering how this didn’t bother the directors producing these movies.

Do you just get used to it, if you’ve watched lots of movies and don’t question it anymore?
Or do you say, fuck it, it’s a trope that viewers expect, like how knives always make a shing sound, even though they don’t do that in reality…?

Wow, wie muss man sich “aromatisiert mit Zitronengeschmack” vorstellen? Hatte man da in der Fabrik ein Duftbäumchen aufgehängt?

Nur für Dinge, die eine Masse haben. Bei Photonen sagt man in diesem Kontext typischerweise, dass sie keine Masse haben (die Definition von “Masse” ist leider nicht so einfach).

Das geht jetzt klar über die Schulphysik hinaus, aber Photonen selbst (sowie auch Gravitationswellen und andere masselosen Dinge) fliegen mit c durch’s Universum, weil es vermutlich eine obere Geschwindigkeitsgrenze für Kausalität gibt.
Also etwas vereinfacht gesagt, müssten sie bei 0 Masse ja gemäß a = F/m im Grunde unendlich Beschleunigung und damit unendlich Geschwindigkeit haben.
Haben sie aber nicht, weswegen man davon ausgeht, dass es da eben tatsächlich nochmal eine harte physikalische Grenze gibt, über die sie nicht hinaus beschleunigen können, also eben die Geschwindigkeit der Kausalität.

Hier gibt’s ein Menschli, der das nochmal sehr viel schlauer erklärt: https://www.pbs.org/video/pbs-space-time-speed-light-not-about-light/

Jo, gibt’s schon seit ein paar Jahren. Deswegen hatte der Kommentar, auf den du geantwortet hast, gegen die drei Distribution geschossen, die im Meme dargestellt sind. Also Mint hat mit Timeshift zwar auch eine ähnliche Lösung, aber bei Arch ist das schon nochmal extra viel Handarbeit und bei Debian gibt’s meines Wissens noch überhaupt keine Bemühungen in die Richtung…

Snapper ist das Snapshot-Programm für btrfs aus der *SUSE-Ecke, also ja, gibt es durchaus. Snapshots könnten sich aber so langsam gerne mal als Standard durchsetzen, so dass man das Feature nicht mehr “irgendwo finden” muss, sondern das auch für Neueinsteiger einfach immer verfügbar ist.

One thing to understand here is that it mostly depends on the “desktop environment”, which is basically the GUI of the system. (Imagine you could have the Windows XP GUI on a Windows 11 PC. Or the macOS GUI on a Windows 11 PC.)

Distros intended for desktop use will typically come with a certain desktop environment by default, so to some degree, you can talk about the distro, but yeah, there’s just gonna be a strong correlation with their default desktop environment.

To my knowledge, GNOME and (recent/Wayland versions of) KDE have good support. Most comments here imply these two desktop environments, so for example Ubuntu, Fedora and POP!_OS are typically GNOME, whereas Kubuntu and Nobara are typically KDE.

Some folks here also mention Linux Mint and LMDE working well, which use the Cinnamon desktop environment, so I guess that works well, too. Cinnamon is somewhat based on GNOME.
Well, and Elementary OS’s whole shtick is its Pantheon desktop environment, which is also based on GNOME.

So, basically, as Elementary’s Pantheon is its own thing, there’s no guarantee that it’ll work, but I would not be surprised.
As someone else already said, you can use a Linux Live USB to try it out before installing. You should be able to just follow along the installation instructions of Elementary OS and shortly before you actually install things, you should find yourself in Pantheon and can try it out.

I mean, it’s kind of the whole point of this article, to explore why they felt it was a good idea to try to create a programming language. Bashing other languages and coming up with reasons why none of the existing ones would do, is kind of the whole point. And they do self-reflect and admit that their reasons were ultimately not good enough from a purely objective point of view.

I mean, B does make some amount of sense, if you realize that it’s supposed to give you the maximum among the parameters (so you’d normally call it as Math.max(5, 3) === 5).

Well, and you can call that with zero parameters, because you can spread an array into it, which might have zero length. And then given these conditions, and if you don’t want to throw an error, then -Infinity is kind of the least bad remaining option, as it’s likely to generally work with the rest of your logic.

I also have basically only my personal experience to go off of (from studying computer science), but I never had to plug hardware into my laptop. Printers were available over the network and the one time we worked with hardware, they had dedicated lab PCs there, which had the necessary software pre-installed.

From what I’ve heard on the internet, that’s quite a common theme. Lots of hardware equipment is ridiculously expensive, so you don’t go buying new equipment when accompanying software doesn’t work on newer operating systems anymore. Instead, you keep a PC around with that old OS and the software, specifically for operating that hardware.

Weil die eingebaute Taschenrechner-App bei Android an’s Unbenutzbare grenzt. Wer ist auf die Idee gekommen, dass man in dem Textfeld nicht einfach seinen Cursor irgendwo reinsetzen und editieren kann? Da habe ich einen vollwertigen Computer in meiner Hosentasche, aber die App hat trotzdem die Limitierungen eines physikalischen Taschenrechners. (┛ಠ_ಠ)┛彡┻━┻

Damn, those pipes look useful. Can use them to send stdout from one command to the stdin of another, as you’d expect. But you can also easily send stuff to stdin from Rust code (and of course, easily read from stdout and stderr, too): https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/io/fn.pipe.html#examples

There are edible talers: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schoggitaler 🙃

I guess, kinda? In my head, a Verein is definitely more of a hobby/socialising thing, but I do have to say that “club” certainly doesn’t feel impactful enough. Like, Germany as a whole would fall apart, if you took the Vereine away.

For example, the Red Cross is an e.V. here. There’s e.V.s that support the local voluntary firefighters (although those are also organized by the municipality). We’ve got big-ass nature preservation e.V.s that do really important work in suing awful corporations. Local sports organizations and orchestras and whatnot are also organized as e.V.s. And perhaps the most relevant in this community is the KDE e.V., which helps organize/assist the wider KDE community.

So, yeah, some of them definitely do work that one might expect from a charity…
