If immigration leads to more unemployment, then that is an economic problem, especially in the hypothetical case where the social benefits system is getting more and more strained by an influx of unemployed people. But generally, I think that you can expect that the immigrants will soon find employment. Besides that, there’s the cultural aspect that @jet@hackertalks.com mentioned. You could also make the point that the country’s infrastructure is more and more stressed as the population grows, but that is fixable and potentially counteracted by the labour potential of the immigrants themselves (i.e., qualified immigrant work forces can make a large-scale infrastructure overhaul possible that will lead to greater national capacities and a net benefit for the entire population).

Aside from these things, I would argue that most of the other reasons boil down to xenophobia or racism.

Hmmm I love Rogue, it’s such an emotional journey and to me the most compelling and interesting story-wise, seeing an Assassin turn into a Templar and underlining the hubris of the Order of Assassins

Yep, gun culture is really big in Switzerland

Unix is literally the most important operating system (specification) family on the planet. Even bigger than M$ Windows. You’ve got all the Android phones, all the Apple iPhones, macOS, FreeBSD and all the GNU/Linux distributions. Unix-like installed base is by far the largest of any on the planet.

Yep. They tried desperately to build up an IT economy and for that wanted to appease all the tech companies.

But that is not the comparison they drew, and you know that.

How did any generation not grow up with the technology as it evolved? Gen X did not invent computers, nor did the Boomers, but every generation made valuable contributions, just as Gen Z will. Again, it is the actions and ideas of gifted individuals that count.

Not a very enlightened take. As @nednobbins@lemm.ee correctly put it, tech savviness is the property of an individual and not of a generation. There are non-savvy Zoomers, just as there are non-savvy people from your generation.

It’s nostupidquestions after all :( I am not saying that anyone ever did anything worse, my question is aiming at the answer for why the current approach is the way that it is, on a technical level.

Yep, I agree. Though one could make a hypothetical argument for expanding the array dynamically when needed. Of course, due to the varying sizes of NIDs resulting from CIDR (which you correctly mentioned), you would need to have a second array that can store the length of each NID, with 5 bits per element, leaving you with 3 bits “saved” per IP address.

That can end up wasting more memory than the 32-bit per NID approach, e.g., when the host identifier is smaller than 5 bits. And there’s the slowness of memory allocation and copying from one array to another that comes on-top of that.

I think that it is theoretically possible to deploy a NID-extracting and tracking program that is a tiny bit more memory efficient than the 32-bit implementation, but would probably come at a performance overhead and depend on you knowing the range of your expected IP addresses really well. So, not useful at all, lol

Anyway, thanks for your contributions.

Though I would like to clarify that maybe my wording was a bit confusing. By “string of bits”, I did not mean the term as it is typically used in programming language environments, but rather a raw binary sequence, e.g., the first 24 bits of an IP address, therefore allocating 3 bytes of memory for storing the NID.

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you.

Whoa the disrespect. The way she threw away C++ haha

Also, the whole thing was next-level cringe

As many others have already said, Lemmy is fully indexable by search engines. In fact, in this very community there have been posts about Lemmy content being above other results from more prominent sites like Reddit for certain topics.

What? There is no “Fediverse objection” to indexing by search engines. Who told you that? Lemmy is actively being indexed and is showing up when you search for posts.

Okay pal. Judging from your comment history, you seem to be a very belligerent person. Maybe it is time for reflection? Maybe it’s not always the others that are stupid? Maybe it’s not always you that has the “moral high ground”?

So take your pompous attitude and choke on it.

See how your blatant and baseless assumption falls apart? Idiot.

So sick of you Linux clowning fanboys parading your free advertising.

No, but through the existence of both options, you can get more plurality than by using one individual option.

Radiation pressure does not have anything to do with mass-energy equivalence. 1), the energy for this process does not come from the conversion of electric energy into mass, and 2) having a momentum is not a property tied to massive particles. All electromagnetic waves carry momentum according to Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism, and its transfer is fully explained by his equations and results from the interaction of the EM wave with matter, i.e., absorption and reflection. Each such interaction will transfer momentum to the massive object. This is classical physics, you don’t need any Einstein relativity to explain electromagnetic phenomena because his theories only become relevant for very massive bodies and their movement, and nuclear reactions.

Tbf, many humans would make the same mistake. But still funny nonetheless

Wow I’d take it for 800
