No, it is not deuterium. The thing that differentiates deuterium from “normal” hydrogen is a neutron, while here, we are only talking of antiprotons (without antineutrons or positrons).

AFAIK, the movie received a 10-minute standing ovation at Cannes. It is an art film first and foremost, and probably not for the general audience that flocks to the same old, boring formulaic movies a la Marvel & co.

Not really sad. Coppola is an artist, first and foremost, and he said that he doesn’t care whether the film will be financially successful. It is a passion project financed at least partially from his own money, and to be his magnum opus.

How many support LineageOS? Answer: a lot.

macOS definitely is Unix. In the literal sense that it is actually certified (unlike FreeBSD, for example), and it is very much Unix-y under the hood.

If immigration leads to more unemployment, then that is an economic problem, especially in the hypothetical case where the social benefits system is getting more and more strained by an influx of unemployed people. But generally, I think that you can expect that the immigrants will soon find employment. Besides that, there’s the cultural aspect that @jet@hackertalks.com mentioned. You could also make the point that the country’s infrastructure is more and more stressed as the population grows, but that is fixable and potentially counteracted by the labour potential of the immigrants themselves (i.e., qualified immigrant work forces can make a large-scale infrastructure overhaul possible that will lead to greater national capacities and a net benefit for the entire population).

Aside from these things, I would argue that most of the other reasons boil down to xenophobia or racism.

It’s nostupidquestions after all :( I am not saying that anyone ever did anything worse, my question is aiming at the answer for why the current approach is the way that it is, on a technical level.

Yep, I agree. Though one could make a hypothetical argument for expanding the array dynamically when needed. Of course, due to the varying sizes of NIDs resulting from CIDR (which you correctly mentioned), you would need to have a second array that can store the length of each NID, with 5 bits per element, leaving you with 3 bits “saved” per IP address.

That can end up wasting more memory than the 32-bit per NID approach, e.g., when the host identifier is smaller than 5 bits. And there’s the slowness of memory allocation and copying from one array to another that comes on-top of that.

I think that it is theoretically possible to deploy a NID-extracting and tracking program that is a tiny bit more memory efficient than the 32-bit implementation, but would probably come at a performance overhead and depend on you knowing the range of your expected IP addresses really well. So, not useful at all, lol

Anyway, thanks for your contributions.

Though I would like to clarify that maybe my wording was a bit confusing. By “string of bits”, I did not mean the term as it is typically used in programming language environments, but rather a raw binary sequence, e.g., the first 24 bits of an IP address, therefore allocating 3 bytes of memory for storing the NID.

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you.

Whoa the disrespect. The way she threw away C++ haha

Also, the whole thing was next-level cringe

Radiation pressure does not have anything to do with mass-energy equivalence. 1), the energy for this process does not come from the conversion of electric energy into mass, and 2) having a momentum is not a property tied to massive particles. All electromagnetic waves carry momentum according to Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism, and its transfer is fully explained by his equations and results from the interaction of the EM wave with matter, i.e., absorption and reflection. Each such interaction will transfer momentum to the massive object. This is classical physics, you don’t need any Einstein relativity to explain electromagnetic phenomena because his theories only become relevant for very massive bodies and their movement, and nuclear reactions.

Yes, that is true. Unfortunately, as I see it, this tragedy once again reinforces my belief that many humans can be so stupid and ideologically blinded that they forego any rationality and connection to reality. No rational person could ever want Trump to be their candidate unless they had something to gain from it. Almost no one has anything to gain from a potential second term except some schemers and ultra rich.

This seems to be an inherent flaw in present-day democracies. I am from Germany, and we are experiencing the same thing with an alt-right party that is set to win the most votes in the 2025 election, with an ultra conservative party likely being second (or maybe their positions will be flipped, it does not matter effectively). Germany, just like the U.S., is on the cusp of losing freedom and democracy. And once it’s gone, it will be a hard fight to get it back.

Anyway, for future attempts at democracies, I think we need even stronger constitutions that make such stances and policies like the ones from the Republican party illegal, and we need institutions that are willing to enforce such constitutions. Furthermore, rigorous civic education should be implemented so that the populace becomes less susceptible to populism. Finally, in order to qualify for the privilege to vote, would-be voters should pass some kind of (equity-compatible) test every election year that assesses whether they still possess critical and rational thinking capabilities.

But I imagine that the most effective measure would be to treat conservatism and related ideologies the way that fascism / national socialism is treated in Germany. Exclude radical conservative and nazi opinions from the right to freedom of expression and make advocation for them punishable. Furthermore, outlaw all political parties along those ideological lines.

These measures are not pretty, but as it stands today, much of the votership in Western democracies is just not qualified for partaking in national elections.

I think in your analogy, the county should be variable instead of the state.

Yay Gwendoline Christie, for me always immortalised as Brienne of Tarth!

Not everything is about new ways that capitalism can be painted as evil. There are valid reasons for why gluten free products are pricier, all of which have been presented in this thread.

It’s disgusting to see how many genocide apologists are on Lemmy. Keep fighting, @Linkerbaan@lemmy.world, and never submit

I genuinely can’t tell at whom you are addressing this. Those claiming it is a Windows problem or those that say otherwise?

Poor sweet little hinges 😭

How can they still operate with 1B in debt? There’s no way they are ever going to be able to repay that in a reasonable time frame
