Half grandfathered in from a period when UK was a commonwealth, and ANZAC were not technically independent.

ISO-3166-1 has a lot of “countries” that aren’t actually independent - but useful to have codes for because they are geographically distinct.

ccTLDs are based on the ISO two letter country codes - it’s deferring the responsibility for cleaning up the British mess to ISO

Nope. They already have .mu

Once the treaty is signed, the .io cctld will phase out over 5 years.

Unless ICANN get greedy and grant an exemption.

Is this based purely on UTC offsets?

Are there polygons available for the tz database?

Thank you for the far more detailed (and correct!) explanation.

~~You know the counting numbers? 1, 2, 3, so on?

There’s infinitely many.

But there’s fewer of them than the “reals”, which are numbers like 1.5, 42.7, and pi (basically all the whole numbers and all the ones in between).

This diagram is showing the “Continuum Hypothesis” which says that there might be some set of numbers that are “in between” the counting numbers and the reals in terms of size. We (humanity) do not yet know for certain if it’s true or not.

This is obviously a gross oversimplification that probably gets some important details wrong.~~

Sir, this is Lemmy.

You can still adopt or go through surrogacy, so don’t think you’re completely out of the woods yet

My immediate thought is that Klinger will be happy.

Trump’s legacy will be long term damage to national security, rampant racism and discrimination, and widespread corruption.

Once upon a time, I accidentally created a folder named “~” in my home folder (the company provided scripting framework would inconsistently expand variables, so the folder had a ton of stuff inside it).

I ran “rm -rf ~” and only panicked when I started to wonder why it wasn’t taking too long.

Good news is that it only managed to get halfway through my local checkout of aosp before I stopped it. Bad news was that it nuked most of my dotfiles.

The original article smelled wrong when they claimed to have broken AES. Thankfully, Bruce Schneier is far more authoritative than I ever will be and gives a short and succinct list of links to debunkings of this.

The anti-Israel crowd are basically the MTG and Boeberts of the Democratic party. Right on down to outlandish claims about crisis actors

That guy? He was horrible at AA. Did something to the water cooler and now everyone is falling off the wagon

I mean, it is shit posting

I think we finally figure out how to not poop for three days

Those young machine spirits need their rest

One upvote is not enough.

I once wrote a commit message the length of a full blog post comparing 10 different alternatives for micro optimization, with benchmarks and more. The diff itself was ten lines. Shaved around 4% off the hot path (based on a sampling profiler that ran over the weekend).

Ew no.

Abusing language features like this (boolean expression short circuit) just makes it harder for other people to come and maintain your code.

The function does have opportunity for improvement by checking one thing at a time. This flattens the ifs and changes them into proper sentry clauses. It also opens the door to encapsulating their logic and refactoring this function into a proper validator that can return all the reasons a user is invalid.

Good code is not “elegant” code. It’s code that is simple and unsurprising and can be easily understood by a hungover fresh graduate new hire.

Yes. I’ll read the content, but I try to avoid interacting.

Mind you, db0 himself is a tankie, although he doesn’t seem to insist on imposing that on the users or communities on his instance.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Apologies to db0 for lumping him in with that crowd.
