also the person apparently spent 2 million dollars to find the number. and the money is probably from stock compensation from nvidia

that does happen to be one of the defining characteristics of mersenne primes.

And searching for mersenne primes happens to be the easiest known way to find extremely large prime numbers (via the Special Number Field Sieve I believe)

Looks like the image I found cropped out the signature, seems to be jeremykaye.tumblr.com

Garbage collection is still allowed, and technically JIT languages are still compiled so it really isn’t that restrictive

every single language (except Vlang of course) is memory safe if you program it perfectly.

Very, very few humans are capable of doing that, especially with C.

Are these families somehow more meritorious than the rest of the population?

lacking multi-generational connections is still a pretty rosy picture of disadvantage. Statistically “unmeritorious” parents are far more likely to have their child suffer from malnutrition due to lack of money and neglect due to the parents working 2 jobs or having substance abuse issues. If the country has private schools, they won’t have access to them and due to living in a low-wealth area their public schools will have a disproportionately high amount of other neglected and abused kids which makes everything harder.

did you know the USA is not as bad as north korea? checkmat e librals

to be honest, 80% of their customers probably don’t even know what an emulator is and don’t follow news about nintendo

yeah that’s not good, may get you prosecuted under “material support” laws

I always have a niggling feeling that maybe it’s a human who sarcastically pastes a recipe

…which ironically makes for a perfect parallel with “C/C++”

fairly sure hezbollah has more than 2800 members

bonus points if you’re using a statically typed language but the library uses extensive metaprogramming seemingly for the sole purpose of hiding what types you actually need

I think the problems there are exacerbated a lot by over-eager type coercion and other crappy design decisions inherited from almost 30 years ago

if you can’t connect to a vpn using only open source software, that’s a crappy vpn

importantly it’s (hopefully) an ISP that operates from a less copyright-happy country and isn’t tied down to tons of expensive infrastructure and long-term contracts

to be even more pedantic, if we follow the relevant official RFCs for http (formerly 2616, but now 7230-7235 which have relevant changes), a 403 can substitute for a 401, but a 401 has specific requirements:

The server generating a 401 response MUST send a WWW-Authenticate header field (Section 4.1) containing at least one challenge applicable to the target resource.

(the old 2616 said 403 must not respond with a request for authentication but the new versions don’t seem to mention that)
