Wasn’t it the blahaj admin who defederated from some popular instance because it had an “adorable porn” community, claiming that contained child abuse content. Nevermind that a subreddit with the same name has existed for like a decade. And when proven wrong they doubled down and never admitted falsely accusing people of serious crimes.
Beehaw’s reasons for defederation were completely unrelated to what’s happening now. They didn’t want the general public to have access to their “safe” community.
Why are you bootlicking? Stop encouraging corporations to milk money from consumers because “it’s not as bad as the others”.
The quality of writing has been the lowest I’ve seen my entire life. The number of shows where the plot or characters are broken because the writers literally don’t care what they wrote just last episode is astonishing. Some choices are so baffling that they look like deliberate sabotage.
Shows that actually want to tell a story don’t seem to have the problem of early cancellation. Severance and Silo, two recent examples of shows with good writing had no trouble being renewed. There is also “From”, which isn’t particularly well written, but its low budget allowed a very quick renewal.
This is the second time I’ve seen an article incorrectly call a streaming service a “streamer”. Have they been paid off by some PR campaign to attempt to redefine the word?
Okay, someone gains access to your device and sends themselves the NFT that proves ownership of your house.
What do you do? Do you just accept that since they own the NFT, that means they own the house? Probably not. You’ll go through the legal system, because that’s still what ultimately decides the ownership. I bet you’ll be happy about middle men and “waiting 45 days to close” then.
To avoid a type conversion that might not be expected. Integer math in Java differs from floating point math.
Math.floor(10.6) / Math.floor(4.6) = 2.5 (double)
If floor returned a long, then
Math.floor(10.6) / Math.floor(4.6) = 2 (long)
If your entire code section is working with doubles, you might not like finding Math.floor() unexpectedly creating a condition for integer division and messing up your calculation. (Have fun debugging this if you’re not actively aware of this behavior).
You don’t have to use inheritance with Java. In fact, in most cases it’s better that you don’t. Practically all of the Java standard library doesn’t require the use of inheritance, same with most modern libraries.
On the contrary, I think inheritance is a very natural way to think. However, that doesn’t translate into readable and easy to maintain code in the vast majority of the cases.
I am not sure what you mean by how it’s stored or manipulated on a computer. A garbage collected language like Java manages the memory for you. It doesn’t really care if your code is using inheritance or not. And unless you’re trying to squeeze the last drops of performance out of your code, the memory layout shouldn’t be on your mind.
It doesn’t. A double is a 64 bit value while an integer is 32 bit. A long is a 64 bit signed integer which stores more exact integer numbers than a double.
Anyone thinking that Microsoft’s recently found appreciation for open source isn’t a Trojan Horse is a fool.

It’s Microsoft. They will gather every bit of your data they can and use it for whatever makes the most money. Which is usually personalized ads.
