yes, but in the struct you can name them anything you like, which is good documentation. for example, name for purpose, like STATUS_LED

Exclusive: Justice Alito sold Bud Light stock amidst anti-trans boycott effort
Alito did not respond to questions about the sale, but its timing raises fair questions — particularly in light of other ethical questions the justice has faced over the past year.

"Scientists have found large reserves of Helium that will give capitalism a pretext to continue heedlessly wasting the element."

Scientists just discovered a massive reservoir of helium beneath Minnesota
Researchers have discovered a large gas reservoir boasting extremely high concentrations of helium that could boost a dwindling global supply in Minnesota's Iron Range.

CORRECT. This should say:
"Buses and trains will arrive so frequently that you are unlikely to need a schedule. That said,
yeah—I'm pretty happy with my ageing Kobo Aura HD though, even resolution wise. maybe because presbyopia is outpacing it
1) it's never been for aid
2) if they wanted aid to pass,they could have guaranteed it (100s of trucks waiting) at any time
3) if they didn't want Palestinians to NEED aid, US wd have prevented the complete destruction of homes &facilities
The US govt wants Isr•el to complete the 76 year genocide
when it comes to more killing it turns out there are no obstacles whatsoever
What has been happening in Palestine for the past 7 months and 76 years is genocide regardless of what any poster on BlueSky thinks. #readABook
that there is a values imbalance between voters and Biden's essentially fascist career is partly WHY they are refusing to vote for him now
do some research. voters are way to the left of biden on most issues including genocide.
and obviously _only_ left policies address material needs of voters
This is certainly why nothing has been done to address the profound housing crisis in Canada. How could it, when the PM is a hereditary aristocrat who only talks to the super-rich? Premiers are no better. And the cabinets are packed with careerist ghouls? #cdnpoli
Sorry, it was WTO protests in 2000, not 2001, a particularly confusing transposition. redflag.org.au/node/7370
And it didn't start in 2000. The crushing of antiwar dissent in 2002 and onwards was also fascism flexing its muscles. Things have only gone downhill since then, in every continent.

redflag.org.auhistorically only tough law and enforcement is going to move this needle
I feel the same. We need to start with some basics: recycling. no metals/nonrenewables in landfill. No electronics in landfill. Warranties. Repair.
For example we have a recycling program in this city but… where does it REALLY go? Under this government, who knows.
We also have to change the way it is marketed. I don't know what the path is. Apple alone is sociopathically evil, ecologically. If they could fix THAT they could be a force for good. Essentially this amounts to _reversing_ most of the way things are done today!
it doesn't get much more "supports" than sending BILLIONS in funds and bombs
and not even that's enough, he wants to remove oversight and limits; and not just Biden: HIS SUPPORTERS (like you) ARE ALSO FULLY BEHIND GENOCIDE apnews.com/article/us-i...
Biden administration is moving ahead on new $1 billion arms sale to Israel, congressional aides say
It’s the first arms shipment to Israel to be announced by the administration since it put another arms transfer on hold earlier in the month.

that tech bros think they know better than the laws of thermodynamics is one of the signs they're dumber than rocks
can we get back to making tech that 1) uses less energy, 2) doesn't end in landfill in 3 months, 3) solves actual problems, 4) doesn't take as much electricity as France to do nothing
I'm not sure if anyone's done a model of "what if we kept on rising emissions but we just geo-engineered our way out of it" but it's probably worth doing as a modelling exercise, to demonstrate exactly how absurd and fantastical that scenario is - particularly given how many tech bros are into that
yeah things like graalvm have basically resolved this aiui, though I haven't tried it (the jvm stuff I work on are long running services, albeit pure functional Scala).
www.graalvm.org
yeah, immutability is part of it, this is where Scala >> Java (modulo various haphazard java boltons)
This is one thing jvm allowed for from the start (with equals/hashCode).
(e.g. you can't have something as simple as Set for anything but scalars.)
This is one thing jvm prevented from the start (with equals/hashCode).
As long as you have proper value semantics for the keys. Icon, quite old, lets you do things like that but having reference like semantics for keys and values makes it basically useless.
Even "because of his religion" is nothing but a figleaf. The cruelty is because of _what_ he is.
Every anticapitalist or antiwar protest in the past quarter century has had police deployed to violently attack it. I directly recall it was a feature of the September 11 protests in my hometown in 2001 and was already a regular expectation by then. Toronto's violent G20, under Harper, was 2010.

We used to have the Webbys, right?
Now we need the "Zombies", awards given every year for the most spectacular platform self-destructs.
Forgive me, but "Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister" was actually funny nerd self deprecation regarding a useful tool.
ha, was just fretting about this myself.
