That is generally true, but not in this context. If you are an addict, having $50 doesn’t enable you to improve your life. It just enables you buy your next fix. I don’t say this to demonize anyone, but the point is that many homeless have mental or physiological issues that make it very hard for them to spend money wisely. Handing out money is slapping a bandaid on the issue or possibly worsening their situation. Chronic homelessness cannot be fixed by a few good natured individual’s pocket change. It requires actual rehabilitation, which is incredibly hard.

OK, what do you think they can do with the $50 that they manage to accumulate that will seriously benefit them?

They likely can’t buy shelter with a fiver or whatever you decide to give them either. The truth is that charities, food banks, and churches are much better equipped to supply the homeless with what they need because it isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, which is why I donate to those organizations instead of trying to hand out money.

Let’s also be real: not wanting to enable addictions is not about policing morality. It’s about harm prevention. The drugs and alcohol they may buy with your money is likely to do more harm than good in a very practical sense and has nothing to do with my personal beliefs.

At the end of the day, your money won’t help them a majority of the time. Offering food or supplies gives them the opportunity to tell me what they need short term rather than me guessing or leaving things up to chance. Long term solutions are provided by other organizations, and your money is better spent there.

If someone asks, I’ll offer to buy them food or other supplies. My wife hands out handwarmers during the winter. We used to put together care packages for people, but lost the habit. I don’t give out money because I don’t want to enable addictions. When you offer something other than money, you are able to more easily separate people who want a fix over people who want to improve their situation. Your resources go farther when you help the latter.

And technically you can still do that, but it’s super laggy. Playing a game through X11 forwarding would be horrendous

kitty. The ssh kitten is enough reason to use it. I work ob a lot of different systems that require OTP. Using the ssh kitten I can type the OTP once and can spawn new terminals that ssh and cd to the remote direvtory without logging in again. Obviosly the tabs and window panes are are a must too. There’s tons of other useful features that I like, like using hints to select nunbers, filenames, urls, etc in the terminal output.

Not sure I understand your comment on multithreading. pthreads are not very hard to use, and you have stuff like OpenMP if you want some abstraction. What about C is not ideal for multithreading?

Nobody tell dunkey we’re getting another game with a girl wielding a sword.

Looks interesting for sure, but the frame rate was hurting in some spots of the trailer. I don’t have much faith in them nailing the performance side of things

I remember easily getting gems for free. Also the streak basically doesn’t matter at all. What made me uninstall is the slow pace. It felt like I was stuck on the same words and topics forever. It felt like I was not actually learning anything, which if you’ve ever started learning a language if a formal setting, is very apparent.

Every time I’ve looked into it, most advice I’ve gotten was that it’s not a good idea.

Thanks for the details! I have done MPI work in the past, so I was curious how an MPI implementation and iceoryx2 might be similar/different regarding local IPC transfers. It’d be interesting to do a detailed review of the two to see if they can benefit from each other.

Can you explain on a high level how iceoryx2 is able to achieve low latency? Is it as simple as using shared memory or are there other tricks in the background? Are there different transfer methods depending on the payload size?

Crystal hot sauce is my goto. Tangy and just the right amount of heat to casually throw on anything if you don’t want to go into battle mode. Frank’s come close. Surprised that I’m the only one mentioning Crystal.

Secret Aardvark I think would be my second goto if you aren’t looking for a hot sauce with the acidity of Crystal, Tabasco, Frank’s, etc.

Sure, it meets the technical requirements to be a comic. But it doesn’t meet the practical requirements to be a good one.

Yeah but comics are also supposed to be creative. This is a essentially a lemmy comment with illustration.

Isn’t that how all physical media works?

What are your metrics for “effective?” As someone who is both teaching and taking classes currently, I can tell you engagement is pitifully low in online formats. Education is not just about memorizing facts and going through the motions to get a good grade. There’d have to be some amazing innovation in online education practices to convince me it will be the default anytime soon.

with kitty you can open a new terminal session that sets it’s cwd to the remote directory of the server you’re ssh’d into. Honestly the only thing I can think of that termux can do that kitty can’t is saving sessions

This genZ-bait soundtrack is making what looks like pretty cool gameplay look incredibly lame. Too many of these GaaS titles that inevitably enshittify use this same marketing to the point where it gives a Pavlovian signal to stay away.
