Both are usable, but I just don’t understand why you’d choose the separate line style if you were starting a new codebase. I can’t see the benefit of it, but that could also be me not having enough experience with the separate line style to see it’s advantages.

On the other hand, having the brace on the next line means that the parent statement and the code in the braces are further from each other, also more lines in the source file is more scrolling in general. You can fit less lines of code on the same vertical screen height if you have a lot of nested blocks or just generally use a lot of blocks. Especially for things like many small functions or many if blocks, being able to fit a few more on your screen is really convenient IMO.

void main() {
    //code
}

Is better than

void main()
{
    //code
}

Why would you want to put it on a separate line? Are you paid by the height of the source file or something?

“Because fuck your sleep cycle that’s why”

I live in Vancouver and we’ve had massive issues with people (both tourists and locals) feeding coyotes in our downtown park. It got bad enough that they had to euthanize a bunch of coyotes because they were habituated to humans and have even attacked some people. They’re not puppers, they’re wild animals that play an important role in the ecosystem. You do them literally no favours by feeding them. Also, even worse, feeding bears.

When I heard about schools using Chromebooks literally the first thing I said was “Linux can do more than a Chromebook can and is free, why the hell aren’t they using that?!” Linux running on the cheapest OEM laptop (make sure you get ones without the prepaid Windows license so you don’t spend more than you need to) is a better experience than the most expensive Chromebook.

Private property. I don’t actually want to own things for the sake of owning things, I want a stable and reasonably comfortable life. In the current system, the only way to reliably achieve that is to own the things you need in your life. But if the system were such that you could live a decent life without owning a thing, I’ll take that.

And that is with the interpretation of private property as literally any possession you can own. If we go by the socialist interpretation of private property as property used to generate capital, I already have no private property and neither do most people here.

Can Linux run programs that rely on frameworks like .NET or other Windows-specific libraries?

Isn’t .NET open source and cross platform now? Isn’t there an official Linux runtime? Or is it just the most basic subset of .NET without any of the GUI libraries or other things Windows .NET apps routinely depend on?

Firefox: We’re the “privacy” browser

Also Firefox: But I’m sure they won’t mind if we shamelessly erode that privacy. Just a little, and we can always gaslight them into thinking people asked for it.

He argues like a toddler. “But I want it NOW!! You’re a LOSER!”

Honestly if I had my current level of knowledge, probably hygene. Teach them to make soap (animal fat and a source of base like ash), wash their hands, keep poop away from potable water sources, stuff like that.

Remember, it literally took until Victorian times to figure out that washing your hands prevents disease.

Also, math. Teach them how to do basic arithmetic, how to use a unit of measurement to figure out how big something is, stuff we’d learn in elementary school but weren’t rigorously developed until the Ancient Greek age.

Why not just use and support fully open source alternatives like Krita, Inkscape, Kdenlive, etc instead of giving money to Adobe?

That glass is a liquid at room temperature, just a very viscous one so it doesn’t appear to flow. It’s not. It’s not a crystalline solid so it has an internal structure similar to a liquid, but the structure is definitely solid at room temperature because the components are not capable of moving relative to each other like a liquid would.

It doesn’t even matter how good Linux is or how bad Windows gets, Linux is lacking the one thing that made Windows mainstream: Billions of dollars in marketing and brand recognition.

Hyperthreading. I don’t buy processors if the cores don’t support it.

Also clock boosting to whatever the thermal solution allows. What’s the point of having a high end cooler if you’re not saturating it under load?

A door with the best lock possible is still not as secure as no door at all

But people regularly find bears in their yards and driveway. Lots of people open their doors in the morning and find a bear within meters from where they’re standing. And the vast majority of those encounters don’t end up with anyone getting hurt.

Source: live in BC, Canada, tons of bears around urban areas.

Imagine if he took his current desire not to get killed and extrapolated it to the people he murdered.

That was the kind of person Sigmon had become after his decades on death row, the kind who fretted over other people’s comfort at his own execution. Sigmon had agonized over the fact that his loved ones would have to see him die like this, gunned down, mere feet away from them.

If only he was this sympathetic to his victims or thought about how their families would feel after finding their murdered bodies. Actually no, he did. As someone mentioned, he literally waited for one of the family members to come home so he can murder them too.

Even on death row he doesn’t show the least bit of remorse for the lives he took, he’s more concerned about how his execution will make him look bad in front of his family.

Trash article written about a trash human being to try to drum up sympathy for someone who mercilessly beat multiple people to death. And he has the gall to call his well-deserved punishment inhumane.
