Further, assuming intelligence is measurable by an IQ test.

I have never heard this version. Still addresses elimination of heirarchy. Happy New Year and thank you.

“No gods, no masters” also applies to demagogues like Pinker or Dawkins. Disconnecting an idea from the people associated with bringing it into your life can be difficult.

New feature with terrible syntax. There are features of every language I choose not to use. As a C++ developer, I would choose not to use this syntax, so that my team can write better designed code. However, I am an oddball on my team for loving trailing return types. In peer review, the schlong operator i.e. ---> would only be used where it makes sense which should be nowhere.

Peer reviewing this seriously would require knowing more context. Instinct tells me MyClass**** is probably allocated from the heap. A possible reason for so many levels of indirection are jagged arrays. Maybe the function only gets the first element of each level of the arrays. The function name doesn’t make that clear. This is poorly designed. Please re-design/re-write. I will happily review those changes. I expect unit tests to show example use cases.

I would suggest using a stack allocated array with sentinels for missing values to improve cache coherency. Without context, I assume looping over the jagged structure will be common. Loading more into cache should improve efficiency in loops, but benchmarks are required.

Wait… I should join the crowd. So I say, “down with C++” and up with some safe alternative. Maybe rust: https://github.com/Speykious/cve-rs.

My speculation is there will be a cooling off period for voting. I’m often wrong.

Politics is group decision making. Religion is humanities relation to the supernatural. Drama, in context, seems to be a flaring of emotions.

Politics is unavoidable. Working with others requires decision making. She is telling you how she goes about making decisions i.e. deferring to authority.

Religion is also unavoidable since it informs politics. Many people believe God-King Jesus will come fix all the world’s problems. Thereby they are primed for deferring to authority.

Drama is a result of the multiplayer game of conversation. You can control your inputs and responses. You can control your internal state. There is no shame leaving a game instead of grinding to “git gud”. Not every game is for everyone. I enjoy the grind.

Sometimes the units are given cute names like “wiggly waggly units” to make physicists cringe. Acknowledging a unit with cute names when the unit is not important is entertaining.

Roast pumpkin puree can be added as filler to sauces. Bottom right option seems fine too. Why kink shame?

Wanting an end to needless slaughter, healthcare and working equipment sounds reasonable. I am glad there are reasonable voices on Lemmy.

I am probably missing a lot of information on Israel, but continued learning is important. I recently learned about the USS Liberty incident in 1967. I am not sure how Israeli’s could mess up that bad. There are still individuals maintaining the incident was deliberate. Who knows? Troubling history abounds.

People have different reasons for being on Lemmy. Examples are looking to feel validated or to pick a fight. I think these folk also existed in ye olde times. Maybe the attention economy is amplifying specific behaviors that would not have been amplified in the olde times.

Being fair, I usually come to Lemmy to argue. I am probably part of the problem.

The vote is worthless outside of swing states. May as well vote your conscience when fptp and Electoral College enshrine disenfranchisement.

Informative. Well written. Seems like the short version of my Intro to American Politics class at Uni. I classified myself as a social democrat back then. I was told I would get more conservative when I was older. Now I classify myself as an anarchist. Not sure what went wrong.

I am grateful local debates are posted online. Instead of listening to music at work I listened to the debates. Living in a one party state is unfortunate. The opposition tends to have similar political convictions to the incumbent.

Agreed. Voting shouldn’t be the only activism we are involved in. My comment was about solidarity against the oligarchs that can decide to make life harder for people they deem icky.

Republicans and Democrats were unable to stop legislation from the Judiciary with Roe v. Wade and later Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Super PAC’s donate multiple lifetimes of dollars to Presidential candidates in a quid pro quo system protected by the first amendment under Citizens United v. FEC. Americans outside the oligarchy will never exhibit their influence.

If oligarchs find your existence icky, they have the power to remove your “right” to exist. You lack the power to prevent it. Instead of thanking anyone, I suggest we take the power back. Punch up.

Is it the wealth inequality that makes it bad for democracy? Normal people are not allowed to influence the political class like the wealthy? Who should democracy work for?

Fire, fire… Beavis impression

Bees and other insects are pollinators allowing food to grow. Say humans succeed at sealing themselves off in such a way that we can grow the food we need without impacting outside ecosystems.

Would humans still need pollinators? Would human pollinator populations be separated from outside populations?

The idea could inspire some entertaining science fiction. The best writer would probably have a background in Entomology and Horticulture.

Naturally fallen fruit has ground bugs enjoying them like slugs. If a slug is already enjoying the fruit, that would violate Jainism?

I respect this argument. I would like to know how Humans fit into the ecosystem.

Humans tend to remove predators from population centers to prevent Humans from becoming prey. The culling of predators allow more prey animals to survive. Humans find themselves competing with prey animals for fruits and vegetables. Humans hunt prey animals to increase yields of fruits and vegetables.

How do we reconcile that our population centers are built on the culling of predator and prey species?

How do Humans balance protection and food production with the morality of minimizing animal and plant death?

What should Humans do with the bodies of culled predators and prey?

Harm reduction voting makes sense in swing states. How is voting third party useless in a non-swing state?

I find it eloquently said that oppressors can be public and private. People seem keen to trade public for private oppression. Humanity deserves less oppression of all forms.

The function wcstol appears to be missing. Cross platform C is difficult.
