I don't know, asshole is a job that requires a lot of creativity in screwing people over.
And it doesn't even stop at the financial stuff where someone has an incentive to screw with society's expectations. All kinds of other aspects like friendships, relationships, parenting,... are strange in movies too.
Honestly not so sure about that. Seems like people who reach the highest positions of power in any organization in the world are extremely over represented in the "take what they want without worrying about the consequences for others" category of people. Makes you wonder how we choose leaders in general, not just the how the Church does it.
Snapchat still exists?
It isn't really a circle though, there are also politicians, media people, police and military officers,...
Yeah, but "some cases" is extremely vague. If it is indeed cached indefinitely under all circumstances I would expect changed passwords to never work at all.
If it is just "some cases" it could be anything from the system using a stale cache just when it can not reach the online server (reasonable) over caches still being in some kind of TTL period to some sort of bug.
So if I understand that correctly that cache is never updated again after it is initially created? Wouldn't that lead to a lot of issues when the online account has its password changed in terms of the new password not working too? Something seems to be missing from this article.
Arriving soon on the hyperloop.
it won’t look the way you expect it to when someone opens it up in Adobe which their company definitely has.
That sounds like a problem between them and Adobe tbh
Are we talking Solid Snake or an actual snek?
Honestly, at this point I sort of wish there was a new technology that was as advanced and useful and revolutionary as the various hype-waves of the last few years have claimed, be it block chain, hyperloop or now AI. They all share in common that the hype just refuses to die because scammers love them even though their actual use cases are extremely limited.
A lot of the AfD members in the east are also not originally from the east.
There is usually also a general lack of education and awareness involved how much worse things can get.
Their downfall is actually precisely the opposite, they are so afraid of appearing like fascists that they dragged out the decision about banning of this fascist party until it was too late and never even considered banning the media that makes up pretend problems like immigration when in reality we are fucked without immigration due to our age distribution here.
We understand people can be brainwashed/emotionally and mentally manipulated to unbelievable extremes - watch any of the hundreds of cult documentaries that have come out over the last decade.
Steven Hassan's BITE model is a good start for that kind of information, the interesting thing being that a lot of those cult-manipulation techniques are visible in anything from individual relationships (not just romantic ones either, parent/child in either direction, "friends",...) over cults and religions to workplaces and political movements.
From what I’ve seen in my life, you will always be proven wrong if you stereotype anything about any perceived group of people.
Not always but the exceptions (or as close to exceptions as generalizations can ever get you anyway) are usually cases where the stereotypical behavior is entangled deeply with the very definition of the group, e.g. the vast majority of kids of rich parents can't understand the struggles of being poor.
On political topics it is very likely that we just gain a few hundred more repetitions of the same arguments that were already going in circles before.
I wouldn't but only because there are already too many of them and they take up too much space...on the other hand if they could be pasted and then deleted again after use that might have some applications.
Well, okay, I can see how it would be useful in languages like Java that are extremely verbose and have a low expressiveness. Writing Java pretty much was already IDEs with code generation 20 years or so ago because nobody wants to write so much boilerplate by hand.
I wouldn't say that Germany learned "all the wrong lessons", there was probably more of an effort to critically examine history in Germany than in most other countries who still revere the times when their own atrocities happened.
However, Germany did two things wrong, they learned an overly specific lesson "never again should Germans do something this horrible to Jews" rather than "never again should any group or individual do something this horrible to any other group or individual" and the emphasis was also often more on remembrance rather than examining how it started and how we can prevent the same thing from happening again.
Meanwhile most other countries seems to have skipped even that little bit of effort and gone with the comforting "look how evil Germans are, this could happen in our country of good people (TM)".
I would say better effort than most countries but still not enough to push it all the way through to the lesson all of humanity needed to learn.
Automatic checking of information in error logs/error return types?
After adding some lines today to log some information I had missed that was vital for debugging I was wondering if there were any automated tools like linters or similar static analysis tools that help you identity the information to log and or return in error cases.
I am specifically talking about the information that should be identifiable automatically because it contributes to the control flow arriving in the current scope such as values of variables in the condition for the scope or parameters of functions that calculate those values (e.g. the file name in a permission error, the value of a variable that failed an if let or let else pattern match,...
Is there a spec somewhere on how Lemmy, Kbin and the rest of the threadiverse use ActivityPub?
It seems to me the basic ActivityPub specification is written from the perspective of Mastodon and Twitter-like fediverse instances.
I assume Lemmy and kbin did extend this with some more objects or at least agreed how to use the existing objects and activities there to model a link aggregator with comments on top of that.
Is there some sort of specification or design document about this somewhere? All I found when googling were some old links that resulted in a 404 and the current Lemmy documentation seems more focussed on users, admins and developers and less on the protocol side of things.
Navigation in Second Life
Since a lot of people here don't seem to know about Second Life I figure some introductory materials can't hurt in case anyone decides to try it.
Second Life is made up of so called regions, each of them is a square 256m to a side and 4096m high as far as building is concerned. In theory the water level can be set to different values in each region but the most common is 20m, especially for the connected mainland regions where it has to match for the water to look connected between adjacent regions.
Inside a region there are coordinates x (low=west, high=east), y (low=south, high=north) and z (low=down, high=up).
Each region runs on a separate simulator (modern servers might host more than one simulator but it is separate processes) so crossing or teleporting into another region requires a handover. If regions are crossed in quick succession, especially with high latency connections, this can lead to crashes or falling off a vehicle.
The regions themselves are placed on a grid with
Summer Sailstice in SL from Saturday the 24th of June to the 7th of July
This year's Summer Sailstice event is coming up this Saturday with lots of events. This link contains an event calendar among other things.
Second Life Activities - Sailing Cruises
Since some people here do not seem to be very familiar with the many activities we use to fill our time on SL I am going to start a new series of posts, introducing some of them.
There are many different vehicles on SL, bicyles, motorbikes, cars, trucks, mechs and many other land vehicles of course, planes, helicopters, paramotors, blimps and others up in the air and of course sail- and motorboats of many different types.
Of course it is possible to just take some friends and make your own fun with these but there are also some organized group activities. Some are races and others are cruises where people just sail together on a route provided by some cruise director in the group. For some groups it is the same person every time, for others the role is shared by a couple of people.
These cruise groups are a great place to learn sailing since there are a lot of people to ask for help and there is always someone who has a moment to answer your questions.
If you don't have a boat of y

What are your favourite annual Second Life events?
For me Fantasy Faire is definitely the one I am looking forward to most. They just have the best mix of stunning regions and avatars, great stories and music on the radio, amazing events for the whole faire and they somehow even manage to integrate the Relay for Life donations and remembrance of those we lost into the event without spoiling the mood of either the sad or the happy parts of the event.
In the past I was also looking forward to Mario2 Helstein's seasonal light shows but sadly he stopped doing those.
Since Linden Labs is notoriously bad about letting us know what is going on, what are your favourite events that others might not even know about?

What are your favourite Second Life activities?
Personally, apart from spending time with friends I do enjoy sailing and motorboats, dancing, live concerts, flying my planes, blimp, paramotor/trike, Shergood Aviation helicopters.
In the past I have also roleplayed in various medieval fantasy, urban fantasy and sci-fi regions but that activity, while fun, always took up a bit too much of my time to leave much for other things I enjoyed.
For sailing and motorboat use, apart from doing so on my own, I like to go on cruises with groups that design routes in advance. It is a good way to get to know the grid better and see how it all fits together and it is a fun way to get to know people in the group over a shared activity.
I don't like land vehicles as much because the roads often cross through sim corners or go close to banlines and security orbs I would like to avoid.
Which viewer do you use?
Personally I have been using the Firestorm Viewer for about as long as it existed and it offers a nice set of additional features over the default viewer but I regularly hear that others use a different third party viewer. What do you use and why?
Which Second Life Blogs do you read?
Personally I sometimes read the ones below.
