they break with monospacedness

The IDEs I've used had the ligatures be of the same character width as the original operator.

Why are you casting to void*? How is the compiler supposed to know the size of the data you are dereferencing?

Something I've been for a while now is why this gender disparity is so strong in this specific area of engineering compared to all other engineering areas. People seem to claim it's because of the "geek" stereotype, but that seems more like a symptom than a cause and I fail to see how it enforces this disparity, considering there's nothing preventing a woman from being a geek too.

But there are already some: https://lemmy.ml/search?q=ama&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll

Due to its reduced instruction set; it uses less power in general

If that is true I don't think it can be attributed to it being RISC

No, I'm not appealing to that. Fuck nazis. (I don't actually see how my comment could be interpreted as that since my comment was in response to users complaining about having their content removed from other instances or communities, which if anything would make them the free speechers (I'm not saying that they are))

Lemmy, in contrast to centralized platforms doesn't force you to be restricted to the rulings of a single group of people under threat of being barred from using the entire platform.

My point is, when you are talking on another instance, you are a guest there and it is completely expected for them to kick you out if you don't abide by their house rules or if they don't want you there anymore for whatever reason. While it doesn't mean they shouldn't be criticized for it, the impression I got from the comments on this post is that they think it is some kind attack to a basic human right to remove their comments from a foreign instance and that admins should allow all content your instance allows.

The same can be said about the reactions people from other instances display towards news of some instance defederating from the instance they are on.

I want to remind everyone in here that Lemmy is self-hosted and federated. If you want to make your post visible on their server or community, you have to abide by the rules they set even if they or their enforcement may seem arbitrary or stupid. It's their server/community you want to put your stuff on and they do not have a duty to accept it. Lemmy allows you to block those communities or instances or even to create or host your own.

The rules are generally on the sidebar of the community or instance (depending on if you want to know the rules of the community or instance).

I wouldn't trust ChatGPT with teaching me about some tool. It in my experience very convincingly spews out stuff it invented, and if one is still learning I can see it being hard to spot those errors. I use it to fix syntax errors in SQL queries, though, since I can't be bothered to try understanding the not-so-helpful error messages I get with my queries, and because if chaptgpt tells a lie it will be caught by my syntax checker.

So, I guess you can use it, if you always assume it to be trying to mislead you until proven to the contrary.

When using git and are working on a feature, and suddenly want to work on something else, you can use git stash so git remembers your changes and is able to restore them when you are done. There is also git add -p this allows you to stage only certain lines of a file, this allows you to keep commits to a single feature if you already did another change that you didn't commit (this is kind of error prone, since you have to make sure that the commit includes exactly the things that you want it to include, so this solution should be avoided). But the easiest way is when you get the feeling that you have completed a certain task towards your goal and that you can move on to another task, to commit. But if you fail you can also change the history in git, so if you haven't pushed yet, you can move the commits around or, if you really need to, edit past commits and break them into multiple.

I don't think I've ever seen someone write a J with the top extending beyond the root. The inward curvature of the foot I think is because it loops around and connects with the «a» afterwards (that connection is either very faint or not visible in the picture)

Isn't it Tammy?
