How to tell if a integer is even or odd in a 4-billion-if-statement program:

This is definitely going to be included in my next programming workshop 🤣
Awe shit forgot to tag it... Well here we go

Clouds are really beautiful this winter(maybe it's just because I'm outside more for a change)

@TechConnectify Decentralization was meant to solve the problem of one entity owning the network, and doing whatever they want with it(as with twitter). I also think Mastodon did it in a shit way(AFAIK likes/favorites aren't federated, and now this comments thing), which makes using it so much harder(like seeing something that is def a comment but the above posts wont load).
A different problem of social media is filtering and moderation, only now money isn't being made and servers are not trying to make profits(again, AFAIK), so it becomes less an option for someone to be paid to moderate it, and moderating have no explicit guidelines(because, every instance is on its own and can decide what it wants), meaning something that you might be ok with is not fine for someone else(and vice versa). As of filtering, you no longer must have an algorithm, since you don't need to keep people hooked for longer(also people are usually against it here for some reason), which means everything is thrown at you unless you act(i agree, it sucks)...
Anyway, shit sucks

if buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing
@Mehrad As someone who used it (for personal use), the program is quite good(esp comparing to the alternative of AnyDesk), so i guess if you are willing to self host, why not?

Infinitely many mathematicians walk into a bar.
The first says, “I’ll have a beer.” The second says, “I’ll have half a beer.” The third says, “I’ll have a quarter of a beer.” Before anyone else can speak, the barman fills up exactly two glasses of beer and serves them. “Come on, now,” he says to the group, “You guys have got to learn your limits.” #Sunday #sundayfunday

Interesting read (and design) about the difference between men & women pockets on jeans:
Someone clever once said

cannot believe that we taught rocks to whisper Secret Numbers so vast that their names have never before and will never be spoken again in the long span of human time, and we use them to key databases for e-commerce systems

Why are you stressing about arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities in #curl ? You were just going to pipe the output to sh anyway.

The "Async #rust is bad" article doing the rounds fails to mention that golang is unsound. golang is the poster boy of "we did everything right, except this one thing that is super bad and the compiler won't tell you". But don't worry you only have to run your app in this data race detector until it triggers the baddies https://go.dev/doc/articles/race_detector
