  • arrays start at (offset) zero

    i.e.: *(array + i)

  • The only reliably persistent thing which keeps running in background is Termux.I don't know how, but it just doesn't die in background. I also use it for downloads with wget. I can lock the phone, and it will keep working until it's done. Any browser just has a high chance of dying.

  • Directed by Quentin Tarantino, full title - Gravity 2: The feat of space travel, which definitely isn't a pun.

  • This doesn’t dismiss the moral issues with it, though.

    Genuine question, what are those?

    I recognize issues with large power imbalance, such as huge gap in maturity, roles (e.g.: student/teacher, worker/boss), intelligence (severe mental disability on one side), etc. where one party could easily coerce the other into something, possibly even unintentionally (e.g.: one party wants something and is already upset, the other party is worried about not only breaking up, but also getting fired and not being able to afford rent, thus pushing through).

    But in this case, if the above doesn't apply, what are the other problems?

  • Orthopedics

  • I'd want to get a finger trackball, but they're kind of expensive. Something like Kensington Orbit.

    Recently I got a mouse. One with side scroll wheel, but just a normal one. I am honestly disappointed. First 2 days I found myself being less accurate with it than TrackPoint. And it also feels less comfortable to use.It's only better if I have a second monitor to the side.

    Also, I wish I could somehow get easily varying sensitivity. Say, the more I press, the slower it moves. Or even just such 2 speed selector. Maybe it would get hard to predict with that pressure idea.

  • ‘I want to cancel’: YouTube Premium quietly hikes its US prices for the first time in three years, forcing many users to consider the unthinkable

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's... interesting. Especially with donations.Apple takes a 30% cut, then Google does so as well from the remainder.

    Feeling generous? Congrats, more than a half goes to corporations.

  • Also to note are regional pricing differences. Let's for example compare US and Ukraine pricing:

    Though I don't know how much that would seem over there.But anyway, I pay $1.99 for DNS (NextDNS), so $2.28 for streaming high quality video without ads? Sure, would seem fine.

    I wonder how much cost difference there is on the Google side between the regions.

  • YouTube's ad problem just got worse: Users now seeing 90-second unskippable ads!

    Jump

  • Almost all of the ads I see on the home page are of type "Hot ${GROUP} in your area."

  • Also, Trump referring to Jeremy Hansen:

    And the 4 brave astronauts of Artemis II are our modern-day, you really are modern-day pioneers, all of you. And one of them happens to be a neighbor. You know who that is, right? You have a special person over there, a neighbor. And, uh, we like our neighbor.

  • In 2021, when Amazon launched its first “just walk out” grocery store in the UK in Ealing, west London, this newspaper reported on the cutting-edge technologies that Amazon said made it all possible: facial-recognition cameras, sensors on the shelves and, of course, “artificial intelligence”.An employee who worked on the technology said that actual humans – albeit distant and invisible ones, based in India – reviewed about 70% of sales made in the “cashier-less” shops as of mid-2022

    UK AI company builder.ai has been tricking customers and investors for eight years – selling an advanced code-writing AI that, it turns out, is actually an Indian software farm employing 700 human developers.
