    And with a bit of namespacing and/or object orientation and usage of dots, it becomes perfectly readable.

    There are also camel case and underscores in other languages...

    BTW: How on earth should a newcomer know that the letter "n" in that word stands for number without having to google it? The newcomer could even assume that it's a letter of the word string..... And even, if you know that it stands for number, it's still hard for me to understand what it means in this context... I actually had to google it... But that's probably some C++ convention I don't know about, because I don't program in C++.....

    Why are they even named like this?

    When I read code, I want to be able to read it.....

    Is this from a time when space was expensive and you wanted to reduce the space of the source files on the devs PC???

    For me (with a native language != english), this made it a lot harder to get into programming in the first place.

    I'm calling the E2E algirithm open source. That's the reason why WhatsApp is using it, too. As long as the message is correctly encrypted for E2E on the client side, it should not matter what the server is doing as far as I know.

    There are open groups on Telegram in which people post that they want to see person XY dead... Everyone who joins the open group can read it anyway.

    They decided not to moderate this and not to delete illegal content once reported, although it's easily possible without breaking encryption.

    IMO, this has not much to do with privacy.

    This is like posting that we should kill someone on Reddit and nothing is happening.

    The algorithm for the end to end encryption is open source as far as I know. Should be easy for security researchers to prove that something is manipulated...

    1. When talking abou encryption for chat apps, it's uaually about E2E...

    2. We are usually talking about open groups on Telegram. I can join them. You can join them. Police can join them. Everyone can read everything afterwards.

    Your connection to the Lemmy server you are using is also encrypted. But I can read your response anyway... So, no E2E...

    You don't need to crack down encryption for most of the platform. There are people in open groups who sometimes post illegal stuff.

    If someone posts that they want to see person XY dead, it should not make a difference whether it's on Reddit, Lemmy or in an open Telegram group..

    The least we can expect is some kind of moderation like on Reddit or here.

    Thanks, did not know about this.

    So, from a technical view....

    There is a person who is mad about the fact that a different opinion might exist... That person clicks downvote in their app and it does not have any effect??

    Or are the downvotes still broascasted to all instances, but "my new" instance just ignores them? Just curious, how dislikes enabled and disabled both work in a decentralized system....

    Showing upvoters and removing downvotes completely!!

    People downvote totally harmless posts and comments, just because they have a different opinion.

    This useless and contraproductive negativity is the reason why YouTube removed downvotes and many other platforms never offered such a feature.

  • Da manche Leute (u.a. meine eigene Familie) Russland für eine große Wirtschaftsmacht halten, und unser Land gerne lächerlich machen, hier ein bisschen Mathematik: Das BIP von Russland beträgt ca. 2.2 Billionen Dollar. Das BIP von NRW, Bayern und Baden-Württemberg beträgt zusammen auch ca. 2.2 Billionen (plus/minus 2-3 Saarländer 😉, je nachdem wie aktuell die Zahlen sind) Ja, das kleine Deutschland ist wirtschaftlich stärker als Russland. USA, China, Indien, Frankreich und GB übrigens auch... Russland ist eine Tankstelle mit Atomraketen.

    Imagine, your are a Java developer with multiple years of experience in the job. You really like working with the language. Your employer kind of canceled most of the Java projects of the company over time and is now really focused on AI...... And AI means here: LLMs, GPT, ... Not like basic Machine learning... It's all about language models. Most of this stuff and the tools are written in Python and your employers wants you to kind of throw away your pretty good Java skills completely and start over in Python. The new tasks would be kind of "easy"... You have to prototype "LLM bots". And that's your perspective for like at least 1.5 years. No, not real software development.. Prototyping... And that means, quick and dirty is what they want... It's also very easy to impress your employer with GPT doing things. Easy money, isn't it? I'm in this exact situation right now and worried.. What, if I quit in 2 years and the new potential employer for a Java job asks "What have you done recently?" I kind of liked working there and like the colleges and the salary is fine and switching the job and maybe moving away is a huge thing for me... It could get better... But maybe also worse........? What would you do in my situation? Accepting it? Starting a rebellion? Looking for a new job somewhere else?

    I got banned from "World News @ lemmy.ml" because of “Nationalism”, because I argued that especially Europe does not just send weapons to Ukraine, but does also support Ukraine with the injured, with money and with a perspective after the war… My comment got deleted, too… Does anyone have an explanation or is the mod just some kind of GPT-2 model with a very special understanding of “Nationalism”?

    Has anyone bought some of the components (e.g. a hard drive or RAM) somewhere else instead of buying the full laptop from the frame.work website? Was is worth it? Looks like an easy possibility to save a few hundred dollars/euros... Just curious...

    When can I expect to be able to install Debian on a device (let's say, I'd use the "testing" branch) and have the choice to use KDE Plasma 6 as UI? Can I expect this to happen during the next months? Just curious... PS: I'm not interested in other distributions, just the raw Debian with Plasma 6...

    I'm young, I'm male, I'm gay and a "side" (side = neither top nor bottom, I just don't like anal sex at all). The question might be weird, but serious: How do I get started with non-anal sex (e.g. oral, handjobs or frotting)? I'd like to start using Grindr or similar and meet people, but: - not liking anal sex eliminates what most people like to do. Are there even people on Grindr like me? Most of the profiles are like "top", "bottom", "versatile", but all with a focus on anal sex. - oral sex is kind of a difficult topic. Doing it without a condom with a person you've never seen before feels unsafe. Doing it with a condom feels weird. - When doing handjobs or frotting, at least the topic "safer sex" is pretty much gone, but it could be difficult to find people for that. - should I try to get something like PrEP? Is it even worth it in my situation when I'm at "step zero"? Anyone here with a similar situation or with tips for me?
