  Better to leak that to segfault, take this:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spanish Notations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Spanish notation makes the parentheses around n-k obsolete, clearly saving one symbol in some formulas is worth introducing a new one in others.

  There is “not financially viable” and than there is spending 12 times the gdp of earth each year.

  Like mathematicians and physicists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What knot(s) should I use to secure this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Germany joins multinational force monitoring Korean border⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We can barely afford to send our troops to the Russian border where they serve a purpose, showing cohesion and solidarity and commitment in NATO. I doubt N. Korea will consider Germany, a nation across the globe with low power projection capability, a threat.

  That money is better spent on modern equipment, ammunition and aid.

  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

  The other atomic clocks that are averaged to give us our ground truth for time.

  … or one second back, that’s the problem.

  Well, apart from the free movement of people and goods, the common currency, the gdpr, the international students and the consumer protection what has the EU ever done for us?

  Brought peace.

  Uh peace, shut up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it generally safe to walk through a field of cows?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  The system works great all year round but what it delivers is not electricity…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why mathematics is set to be revolutionized by AI⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The absence of coincidence

  Look up the strong law of small numbers.

  Also, one of their examples of AI was an exhaustive search.

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US government reportedly ponders crimping China's use of RISC-V⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The spec is open source, particular implementation are typically under patent/copyright protection.
  Not that they can be enforced effectively, unless the chips are exported into the US.

  Nitrogen also becomes toxic, requiring you to substitute it with helium (or hydrogen).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know, but you can check individual instances by going to the /instances subdomain and searching for threads.

  shjw and blahaj are defederated, world isn’t.
  This can always change, but I have confidence in my admins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Matrix multiplication breakthrough could lead to faster, more efficient AI models⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if it made mining more efficient, Bitcoin would just increase difficulty to compensate.
  Bitcoin is a system adverse to efficacy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does lemmy differ from reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give me Options or give me death⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t random-access an iterator and use it again later.

  If your specific use case really needs random access to a list while lazy computing the elements just wrap them in Lazy and put them in a vector.

  Can Rust compute the value of calling a function an infinite number of times?

  The return type of an infinitely recursive function / infinite loops is ⊥, a type that by definition has no values. (Known in rust as !)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give me Options or give me death⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine using a linked list as your default sequential container.
  Rust iterators are lazy btw.

  Boring story:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please tell me does this make any sense? i can not sleep, is capitalism inherently designed to be invasive?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Their economy can tell us something about the demand for infinite growth in a finite world, which is inherent in modern capitalism.
