Generally, forcing developers to code something has been considered “compelled speech”

I’m European so I don’t quite understand.
Say person A paid person B to say X and had a valid contract. If B didn’t say X can person A sue person B to compel performance of contract or just money back/damages?

At least for new games wouldn’t it just be an implied part of the purchasing contract, meaning money back at least.

As a climber I have to disagree, figure 8 knots are the best, especially when double back.
It’s the one knot I trust my life to on a weekly basis and I have rarely encountered a situation where they weren’t part of the solution.

Short answer:
It gave us compiler explorer, now that it has served its purpose we should stop doing it.

Long answer:

Why does hft even exist?

Hft can exist because most stock markets react to requests as fast as possible and have no noticable fees for certain use cases. This means algorithms that do simple trades like if goggle goes up, buy other tech companies or buy any stock that goes up in europe on the NY market can make small profits if they are faster than everyone else.

Does it have any value?

There is one exchange that imposes a delay on every request, effectively inhibiting hft, and its opening actually improved market conditions on all exchanges. This implies it has negative value.
They also spend millions on hardware, tools and developers to skim small sums of many transaction on the stock market. They are effectively a (very inefficient) tax on the stock market that goes to improving C++ compilers and funding hardware startups.

The can’t find the difference meme would fit better.

Inline code in `back ticks`

Multiline code

triple back tics

I don’t know how to escape triple back tics inside a code block, just ignore the spaces

It is more space efficient, maybe he just does that to park. I heard pickup owners are very considerate persons.

Edit: spelling

I had quite the opposite experience in the alps, we have hiked within meters cows because the heard was laying and standing on the path. I have never seen very young calves or bulls on the mountains.

Go speak Lojban with people numbering “beyond what can be counted on the fingers of one hand”.

So they are tearing up toads and smashing cars in the west bank because they got attacked last time they went there illegally?

[…] would someone like monkeymant59h@icloud.com really be dishonest?

Iphone users can never be evil, I have learned that from watching films.

I looked at the diff, it’s around 100 lines of new code and a few hundred lines of comments and tests.
I couldn’t have written it, but there are many smarter people that fixed it after they learned of the problem.

What also made it easier to fix is that they (sensibly) chose to error on certain strings that can’t be escaped safely.

If only there was another way. Like trucks.
But Israel wouldn’t want an efficient way to feed Palestinians, it gets in the way of them dieing

What does defederation imply? Feeds aren’t aggregated, or users are not allowed from the other instance?

Iirc no activity from one instance is available on the other. No posts in their communities, no posts/comments from their users.

Also one other major question. I thought lemmy was its own thing, but I guess it’s part of the Fediverse? The Fediverse is just a set of protocols? What is lemmy then?

The fediverse is a group of social media platforms that use the active pub protocol to pass along user interactions between instances (servers run by different people).

Lemmy is the reddit of the fediverse, meaning posts in communities and comment in a trees structure.

Kbin is also the reddit of the fediverse, but with some less features (manly on the moderation side). Because they both use active pub in a reddit style they can easily interoperate.

Mastodon is the twitter of the fediverse meaning their content (mircoblogging) doesn’t fit the lemmy format but you will only sometimes see some posts like ‘If you can read this I have managed to post from mastodon to lemmy’.

Yes, I just wanted to expand on some details.

The people who would actually launch the missiles would be the same people who told Putin that the Ukraine invasion would be a walk over.

They where told it wasn’t going to happen, just some postering before going back to normal. They said ‘yes, we could theoretically walk over Ukraine’ believing they wouldn’t have to follow up on that.
They know dam well there is no theoretically winning a nuclear exchange, meaning they won’t tell their superiors they can do it and no superiors that would believe them if they did.

Americans will never understand tax brackets.

Boring story:
22 was free, he asked for it, he got.

I think the russia comment is about their law against disparaging the armed forces.

They are currently in training to get fighter jets from Denmark, there us no such excuse for the German cruise missile system Taurus they specifically asked for.
