Seems like the new norm on Lemmy is to post nothing and have your feed flooded by ContentBot.

Plenty of comments here but 80% of other posts mirrored from Reddit are a graveyard.

Le détour devrait être mieux indiqué. Donc en avance, peut-être à Laurier et Saint-Joseph. Et il devrait avoir un détour différent pour cyclistes et motoristes.

Présentement tu es pitché sans indication dans une rue étroite entouré de conducteurs de VUS impatients avec un risque d'emportierage à droite et à gauche.

 

Âgé de 46 ans, Juan Manuel Becerra Garcia a enregistré sa réponse à l’accusation au palais de justice de Montréal. Mariia Legenkovska s’en allait à l’école avec son frère et sa sœur lorsqu’elle a été heurtée par une automobile, le 13 décembre 2022. Manuel Becerra Garcia ne s’est pas arrêté pour lui porter secours. Il s’est livré plus tard à la police cette journée-là. Mariia et sa famille se sont installées à Montréal en 2022 après avoir fui l’invasion russe. Son père Andrii Legenkovska combattait au sein de l’armée ukrainienne au moment de sa mort. Il est venu à Montréal pour assister à l’inhumation de sa fille.

If you look at the author's bio, it seems like they're more of a hardware peripherals tester than a perf tester.

You have a lot of experience with victims of sexual assault?

We can already see the opposition's false equivalence rhetoric take hold. Here's the difference:

Say you had 1M$ a couple years ago to invest (lucky you, was it a gift from your parents?). Say you didn't do much research and invested in a stock that was pretty low at the time and you sell after the new tax at which point you see a return of an extra 25% (you were pretty lucky to beat the market with little effort). This means you get back 1.25M$ before taxes. The extra amount of money you have to pay with this new tax is exactly 0$ more than before! This is because your gains are 250k$ and you still haven't reached the new limit.

If on the other hand you were even luckier and somehow managed to get 30% extra (!!!). You're only going to pay the increased rate on 50k$ that's above the 250k$ you made.

Now if you're starting out with 10M$ and get the same kind of return that new tax is going to bite.

Ask yourself though, who is playing with that kind of money. It's not the vast majority of "people who invest". It's going to be the extra rich.

Isn't RTTI for polymorphic classes and stored in (or around) vtables?

Can you expand on this? I'd love to read more on the subject.

So rust finally gets reflection? In stable no less!

Funny how on these threads where someone lost their life always someone rushing to don their cape to defend the poor driver who killed someone.

Such a bad take. Even if he was riding recklessly (no indication in the article that he was), would he deserve to die if he was riding along the road on winter? How would that work exactly? Are you imagining him charging at 2 ton truck with a meter high hood?

I don't know about the value of libro.fm... Seems to me that the monthly subscription is the price of a physical book and you only get one per month?

I get a much better deal with my city's library which offers a large catalogue of audio books for free. It's not owning, it's borrowing like you would from a library but at least it doesn't cost anything.

I had a similar experience. It must have been around 2021. Maybe it was about the Freedom Convoy. It's a while ago and I forgot the details but it's not the first time he rubs me the wrong way. Kinda stopped listening to the podcast because of it.

 

America has Traffic Engineers. The Netherlands has Transportation Engineers. One is concerned with moving as many cars as possible, the other builds transportation systems. In this podcast, I'm joined by Steffen Berr, an American Traffic Engineer turned Transportation Engineer who now lives in the Netherlands. We discuss the myopic approach taken by Traffic Engineers in America, and how it ultimately ruins cities.

Steffen has a great article that is worth reading: https://nextcity.org/urbanist-news/america-has-no-transportation-engineers
