Yet I still had an urge to explain an obvious thing. Because it’s C++, so everyhing goes. There are even tools to auto-generate C++ interfaces, because of course someone decided that C++ is inadequate and must be improved using some kind of poorly-documented ad-hoc extension language on top of C++.

I know at least three ways, one of them involves variadic macros.

You don’t even need to look that far, take any sufficiently aged library, like OpenGL.

C++ is fiiiiine. Just use the modern variant of the language, don’t bother with hand-optimizing your memory allocators, and generally avoid anything involving pointer arithmetics. So, basically, use it like you would use Python.

I guess that phone would use eSim, so no slot is needed.

This needs some simple hardware trigger, that can be queried by bootloader, but specific wnough so it won’t trigger in your pocket. If buttons are unavailable, I can propose several idead:

• Cover the proximity sensor 10 times per second. Requires good motor skills.
• Shine separated red, green, and blue lasers into three of the phone cameras. You’ll need a box with three different-colored LEDs to cover cameras module.
• There is a low-speed data channel in wireless chargers. Just add the button to the charger instead of the phone.
• Put your phone at exactly 2.5G of acceleration. Accelerometer is easy to use even from the bootloader, however you will need to put your phone in a centrifuge and reboot it while it’s rotating.
• An option ‘Reboot into recovery’ in system settings, duh. Won’t help if your ROM fails to boot.

You’ve mispronounced wcscoll.

I’m pretty sure Apple and Google already rewritten all important GNU parts into something with Apache or BSD license, to throw everything GPL licensed out of their embedded systems. The biggest and most important part was obviously GCC, replaced by Clang.

How many GPL-licensed system libraries and tools are in Android right now, except for the kernel? I’m pretty sure the answer is zero.

It’s wild seeing square brackets for something other than array indexing.

Eh, Lemmy Connect does not format it properly.

Just look at those nested parentheses. A true sign of (pedantic) greatness, when a person needs to clarify something in their earlier clarification.

• Ctrl-C will not do what you expect, use Ctrl-Shift-C, or click mouse wheel
• There are many better terminal emulators that XTerm
• If you accidentally press Ctrl-Alt-F1, you can press Alt-F7 to switch back to the graphical desktop
• There are in fact many ways to exit vi, no need to reboot your PC
• There’s no need to suffer through The True Commandline Experience For Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins⁽¹⁾, just install mc and get all the benefits without typing cd and ls every time you want to find a specific file

⁽¹⁾ Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins don’t use vi to edit files, they either write a sed script or use cat to copy the file to the terminal, then use cat again to copy the contents of the terminal back into the file by clicking the mouse wheel while typing manually the lines they need to change.

I was trying to make a dumb joke, because I’m disappointed that they didn’t release it for Android.

Yeah, I perfectly understand why. World of Goo 1 was one of the best Android games, but the sales numbers were non-existent.

I bet you’ve also replaced Microsoft Edge with Chrome.

This incident will be reported

Steam

I see how you are casually ignoring Microsoft Store.

“How do we make a 7-feet-long blade with a 25-foot-long edge?”

But it’s all herbal and natural!

dried plants are no less effective in making you vomit than synthetic drugs

It doesn’t matter for most drugs, as long as you can tolerate the taste. There is a gastric ulcers medicine that’s basically a weapons-grade concentrate of chili pepper, eating it raw will cause most people to vomit. Some rare drugs react poorly with saliva, and there are also drugs which are designed to dissolve not in your stomach but in your intestines, but those are usually not capsules but thumb-sized pills with coating so thick you won’t be able to chew through it.

Capsules are considered more advanced drug packaging because none of the drug dissolves in your mouth when you swallow capsules. Unlike pills, 100% of the drug goes straight to your stomach, so there’s no variation in the drug dosage, and the patient won’t complain if the drug is bitter.

Also because you can open the capsule and pour it into the glass of water, if you have trouble swallowing pills. Which defeats the first advantage, and you can simply order powdered drug instead of pills, but it won’t come pre-packaged as pills so it will be more expensive.

None of that matters for vitamins, you generally need more than 1000% of the daily dose for it to become harmful, so each pill contains more than your body really needs, because there are no side effects, so you can buy a pill and lick it, chew it, crush it, and add it to your coffee, and it will still work just fine.
