A pointer to the list would allow you to modify whatever’s at that pointer’s address though. If you want to look at the list and not edit it you pass by const reference 99% of the time (or you pass a copy) and if your language doesn’t have that I don’t like it.
Most of the time you pass by reference for more outputs, or by const ref to avoid copying a big-ass data structure (which is not always straightforward, with structures smaller than a pointer, which are pretty big in 64 bits architecture, you lose more to the ref overhead than to the copy IIRC)
Forgot the phone one too. Or was it a phone “case” ?
Not sure what they’re implying about being forced to sell non refillable vapes. I bought a Centaurus kit (refillable) two years ago and they’re still selling. Though the same brand also has lines of disposables…
In reality the people buying disposables don’t want to deal with the hassle that is e-juice (and changing coils). But the modern refillables are pretty good at not leaking every time you look at them wrong, though in my experience the big ones still don’t like being upside down.
It’s economics jargon either way (this sentence, not Das Kapital as a whole lol)
Great idea, let the exploiting class directly influence our climate, what could go wrong ? They have been so responsible with their indirect influence so far…
Are we sure they’re not doing this already ? The only compelling arguments I can make against it is the legality, but they don’t seem to care much about that in other cases, and the fact that they’d have to spend more on food to make them renew their blood. And I’ve seen the food and portions they serve in the “good” nursing homes, so that might be the only thing holding them back.
(Not so) fun fact : that is exactly what some end up doing ! Gf’s grandmother escaped her nursing home to walk in front of a train.
Sounds like some surplus value generated from labour is being extracted by the people owning the means of production
Wouldn’t you still get some airflow through convection ?
DUI hires lmao
If you limit it to like a few seeds a day, I don’t think you’ll become their primary food source
Disclaimer : I’m not a biologist. But I remember reading somewhere that birds need to eat almost as much if not more than their body weight per day.
TIL there’s a Wikipedia article for Unidan
Just don’t get caught feeding them lol, should be easy enough if you could do it from your backyard, and don’t overdo it because if all the crows in a 50 miles radius start nesting on your roof, people might start to notice.
AI makes that happen because the execs believe the lies of the AI companies and/or use them as excuses for their bad decisions during or following COVID to lay people off.
Yeah I think I was mistaken. It does appear to be only stellantis so far. So Renault and alpine should be safe (and Aixam I guess if you lose your license)
Yeah but you’re not gonna see many AA or indie games made with anvil. My point was that your original assumption that a game using steam networking won’t be able to “talk” to the same game using another platform’s networking is somewhat correct, and basically still is the case for games that can’t afford crossplay solutions, with the notable exception of EOS.
I was young back then ! I wash my reusable bottles with diluted bleach now but I think it can damage the plastic in water bottles.
It’s been a while since I learned this but yeah we were taught it significantly reduces images in size, though in quality too (mostly because of the 256 colors limit, otherwise it is technically lossless IIRC). PNG results in slightly smaller files with much better colors and alpha channels so yeah by comparison gif isn’t that good, but to be fair, PNG was created as a direct improvement over gifs for single images compression/encoding, and quite some time later too.
Adding to that, video encoding and compression algorithms have gone so far now that encoding basically any video longer than a few frames as a gif is a waste, but that’s because these hardly store any actual still frame IIRC, it’s mostly codecs-based wizardry which, for a simple explanation, can cheaply encode several frames by basically saying “this whole area stays the same color for X frames” and even moving blobs of pixels across multiple frames, whereas gifs, by design, store each individual frame making up the video.
I’m not even a C++ wizard or anything (though it’s my most advanced language) so I’m not gonna argue that is good or bad, that sounds fine to me for a wide range of applications already.
But the way is see it, pointers kinda allow you to use “raw memory” which is an actual thing that’s gonna be handled by the program one way or another, and it’s a way to relatively refer to memory for example. As some guy on stackoverflow put it “That guy at the end for the bar” vs “Bob” can be very useful. Especially when using data structures you don’t know the size of at compile time.
