WhereIsTheTruth··on Is Telegram really an encrypted messaging app?
you don't use telegram for encryption

you use it because you can use disposable phone number

nobody ever cares about encryption, it's a false flag

people care about no footprints

that's exactly why it was used to create civil unrest in Iran

This tells you how hard people are willing to work on difficult tasks without getting paid

WhereIsTheTruth··on $50 2GB Raspberry Pi 5 comes with a lower price and a tweaked, cheaper CPU
That's what happen after an IPO, you have to please your shareholders

Price no longer match the reality, if you haven't already, look elsewhere, much better alternatives exist, much cheaper

WhereIsTheTruth··on Leaving Neovim for Zed
Same, ST is the best

But they really need to speed up the pace of their updates and offer plugin API that interacts with the UI

WhereIsTheTruth··on ImRAD is a GUI builder for the ImGui library
This website has a bias for rust related projects, they seem to be on a crusade to promote that language and to devalue everything that's not written with it
WhereIsTheTruth··on CPI for all items rises 2.9%; shelter up
Prefix your title with "US: "
WhereIsTheTruth··on Ask HN: What code editors or IDEs are easily scriptable?
Sublime Text could have been perfect, it uses python and it is hot-reloadable, but the API is limited, you can't extend the interface _at all_, want tabs in the build/task panel? nope, want to customize your status bar with clickeable elements? nope

VSCode is a joke, you can't use javascript, worse, you need to compile your scripts, and you need to restart the editor whenever you change your "scripts"

WhereIsTheTruth··on Signal messenger blocked in Russia, says Roskomnadzor
Most of TOR nodes are owned by the CIA/NSA

There are also rumors of Signal being operated by them too

https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/analysis/signal-faci...

Whoever claims total anonymity in the US is full of crap

All it takes is one backdoor or one engineered flaw

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/signal-downpl...

Likewise, whoever promotes that kind of messaging tool overseas is complicit

WhereIsTheTruth··on Apple is America's semiconductor problem
Both Google and Microsoft had plenty of time, resources and reasons to develop their own industry, they didn't, instead held hostage an insane amount of cash

Now they pay the price

That's what happen when your government consists of clueless warmongers

"Oh no, Samsung is developing their own homemade industry, sabotage! quick!"

WhereIsTheTruth··on Cosmic: A New Desktop Environment
It looks like Gnome, with the same CSD philosophy, wich is a bad sign

This is what has ruined linux desktop to me

WhereIsTheTruth··on Elon Musk's big plan to build an AI supercomputer
Conspiracy? It was a troll, how come you can tell when Musk is trolling, but not when I suggest you that I am?

NPC behavior, or behaviour, how to tell?

WhereIsTheTruth··on Elon Musk's big plan to build an AI supercomputer
You should look into leaks, what has leaked tells about the cabal's plan, that includes Bitcoin and its relation with the CBDC, US Steel, its relation with the collapse of BoJ/SoftBank, and that also includes the purpose of Musk's persona

It also mentions a strategy to cooperate with China for that specific goal

But something tells me you are not interested in leaks and instead work to push the current dogma

Must seemed happy he met with Breton to discsus the DSA, under the hood; he agreed on everything! Was he trolling?

Perhaps I am trolling? How to tell?

Elon Musk, or the team behind Elon Musk?

That's a lot for one single man, specially when diablo season 5 is just around the corner

WhereIsTheTruth··on Enum class improvements for C++17, C++20 and C++23
Obviously, you should still have the choice to be verbose when the context requires it, pragmatism is the key

In your example, to me, the value is obfuscated, I prefer conciseness, it's easier to read and it makes more sense

Besides, it encourages developers to better name their variables/functions

SwiftUI made me appreciate it more

WhereIsTheTruth··on Enum class improvements for C++17, C++20 and C++23
All that crap is the reason I never bother with enums in all these C like languages

     set_player_color(player, .RED);
That should be the way to use them, it's concise and typesafe

    set_color(Color::RED);
Why repeat yourself?

It's one of the things I love about Swift and Zig

    int main() {
        using enum ComputeStatus;
        ComputeStatus s = NotEnoughMemory;
    }

now you have polluted the scope.. C++ have lost the plot.. they understood the issue, but they came up with a solution that's worse...
WhereIsTheTruth··on Null-Restricted and Nullable Types
Conciseness is better, for the same reason we don't do:

    int a = b plus c;

It's easy to misguide people with regional words, symbols are universal

WhereIsTheTruth··on France high-speed rail traffic disrupted by 'malicious acts' on Olympic ceremony
That's the thing, 1 point of failure shouldn't take down your entire infrastructure, it's so frail, and you dare defend it
WhereIsTheTruth··on France high-speed rail traffic disrupted by 'malicious acts' on Olympic ceremony
US, Italy, now France, the west is not ready for a Cyber War, everyone should wake up

I lost hope personally, 2 days ago i got flagged for suggesting putting to jail people who didn't work to fix the Github security flaw, what ever..

WhereIsTheTruth··on C# almost has implicit interfaces
You can in D

    struct Foo
    {
        void read(){}
    }

    struct Bar
    {
        void read(){}
    }

    struct Nope
    {

    }

    void handle(T)(T data)
    {
        static if (__traits(hasMember, data, "read") == false) static assert(0, "struct needs a 'read' function");
        data.read();
    }

    void main()
    {
        Foo foo;
        Bar bar;
        Nope nope;

        handle(foo); // works
        handle(bar); // works
        handle(nope); // oops main.d(17): Error: static assert:  "struct needs a 'read' function"
    }

fun easter egg, software became too serious nowadays
WhereIsTheTruth··on Aro – Zig's new C compiler
What i like to use is to isolate the imports from C, since they usually come with other definitions wich might clash (already defined error thingy):

    import c = sqlite3;
On that topic, i wish it was possible to group named imports, perhaps this way:

    import c = sqlite3, miniz;
WhereIsTheTruth··on Aro – Zig's new C compiler
I was about to say this, and DMD compiles C code insanely FAST!
WhereIsTheTruth··on Garage: Open-Source Distributed Object Storage

WhereIsTheTruth··on I Hope Rust Does Not Oxidize Everything
The fact that i got downvoted says it all, people are in delusional mode

Zig devs are tackling the issue early, Rust devs are living with it, it's just sad

WhereIsTheTruth··on TinyPod – Apple Watch case with scroll wheel
same, but they'll ruin it by putting a stove in the back.. iPhone 5 still is the perfect form factor for a phone, at least for me
WhereIsTheTruth··on TinyPod – Apple Watch case with scroll wheel
a smart beeper, that's the evolution i needed!
WhereIsTheTruth··on I Hope Rust Does Not Oxidize Everything
Projects adopting rust makes contributing less fun and more painful

I tried to work on bug fix for Zed, waiting 30 seconds everytime you change a value was _very_ painful
