Because social media. The same goes for a phone number. If your contacts give out a phone book, your number is leaked.


Yep, in New York the pothole season is early Spring rather than winter, for example.


It only works in Chrome, not Firefox or Safari. Sad.


huh! I tested in firefox and safari and it worked for me on both. maybe you're just running into the fact that the website is kinda dying right now?


I convert and upload my flac files to Apple Music which is available cross-platform, though poor on linux.

Speaker quality makes a huge difference according to my experiences from lower end $30 portable speaker to stereo sound systems in cars. Last weekend I rented a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Its sound quality is noticeably terrible because I couldn't hear some backing violin/piano sound of a symphony compared with my own car.


Have I found a bug? I entered JFK and Heathrow, it resolves to correct airports but the map shows a route between London and Lisbon.

Addresses used:

John F. Kennedy International Airport, JFK Access Road, Queens, New York, 11430, United States

Heathrow Airport, Cranford Lane, Hatton Cross, London Borough of Hillingdon, London, Greater London, England, TW6 2DN, United Kingdom


This is an OpenStreetMap issue, that's what it gives you when you ask for driving directions across the Atlantic: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm....

I'm not sure exactly what's going on, even if you provide a US address in the middle of the country it will only ever give you directions for the European side. If you replace Heathrow with a different continent, like Africa or Asia, it correctly says it can't find a route. My best guess is that the algorithm sees there is a water crossing, but then finds the ferry from France to England and says "ah ok all good". Maybe there is a special case to handle Europe to UK that is causing the problem? If you put in JFK to Dublin it will find two ferries, France to England and England to Ireland, but still nothing on the North American side.

Edit: No nothing to do with the ferries, I think Europe just has some special status. For example, try Brazil -> Morocco vs. Brazil -> Spain.


I think you used standard bus route search with JFK and Heathrow. OpenStreetMap suggests Lisbon since the departure and destination are on different continents, providing a route in close proximity to the destination with access to the sea.

If you prefer the flight path, you can visit dev.sitinshade.com/flight [beta].


As an average user, wayfire has been pretty reliable since 0.7.5. It is just its ecosystem needs more work.

The famous htop actually employs OOP in C. https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/blob/650cf0f13bf667270d0a6a...


So does Glibc in its stdio implementation (bog-standard vtables except the vtable pointer can occasionally change at runtime), Linux in a number of places (I don’t really know much there), the FreeBSD kernel in its driver ABI (more like ObjC than C++) and many others.

(GObject is of course also object-oriented, but IMO hardly counts as C programming in how it works, it’s more of a separate OO language hand-translated into C—Vala is basically that language, finally implemented years later.)



So far as I can tell, it's not quite the same thing since these still have pointer semantics (and thus have to deal with aliasing etc). The in/out approach is more generic, since "in" can map to a pointer where it makes sense, and to a copy where it does not.

Better yet when you prohibit such arguments from aliasing (or at least make no-alias the default) - now the compiler can also implement "in out" by copying the value back and forth, if it's faster than indirection.


Ehh that's not quite what those are. The types being added for C++23 are designed for FFI.

Herb made a proposal for proper in/out parameters for C++ in 2020 https://youtu.be/6lurOCdaj0Y


This can be further extended to show plot images if the author decides to render repl outputs in a separate terminal (or a tmux pane) instead of a vim window.
