I associate the word “straphanger” with tabloid media. They have some words that they really like. It doesn’t really even make sense for NYC Because the subway doesn’t have straps.

I’ve always thought it was weird how there are two media properties involving genderless gem people.

Great article, thank you for sharing.
But he lives in NYC (Staten Island). It’s his own local government.
Sometimes I wish that I didn’t have a corporeal body. It would be better to just be a mind.

Swift was developed by a lot of former C++ committee members, and in C++ circles they’ve been advocating for it as a “successor language” for quite some time.
This could definitely be confusing if you don’t have that context, but making Swift useful for this kind of project has been an explicit goal of the Swift developers for years.

I don’t know the details of the situation in Poland, but Poland does have an 87% home ownership rate.

There’s also a whole industry of ex-Googlers reimplementing Google tooling as SaaS services to sell to other ex-Googlers at other companies.
There’s even a lookup table: https://github.com/jhuangtw/xg2xg
(some of those are open source projects, some are SaaS services)
I haven’t tried this, but if you just need the parent to call waitpid on the child’s pid then you should be able to do that by attaching to the process via gdb, breaking, and then manually invoking waitpid and continuing.

Inbox for me. I still manage my email the way that Inbox taught me to do it, but it just isn’t the same.
I hate the capslock thing. I sometimes feel like I’m the only person who regularly uses capslock (for C macro names and SQL when programming, but also for typing acronyms).
I don’t mind the function key thing. Even from memory I can say that in a browser F5 = refresh and F11 = fullscreen. But kids probably are less likely to know those these days so a label could be helpful.
The way the article makes it sound is, if individual employees download OracleJDK while on the company network, and use it for small personal scripts or automation, then that might be enough to trigger Oracle to act.
If your company is large enough, then enough employees may have done that to make you a reasonable target for litigation if you don’t work something out with Oracle. And Oracle is an expert at litigation.
I think that the best defense for a large company would be to IP block all Oracle domains and periodically scan employee laptops for any Oracle products (especially JDK and VirtualBox guest additions) and delete them.
You really have to treat anything that Oracle touches as malware if you want to protect yourself.
I know for sure that there is a mastodon client for Emacs, but of course that uses a different protocol and wouldn’t work for lemmy: https://codeberg.org/martianh/mastodon.el
Oh, the non-citizen voting stuff. Yeah, that’s kinda weird. It does seem like every instance so far has been for local or specifically school-board elections. Ballotpedia has a comprehensive article on it: https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States
I think my personal viewpoint is as follows:
It is probably reasonable for legal resident aliens who have lived in a school district for 30 days and who have a child in the public school system to vote in school board elections.
I don’t know what to think about legal resident aliens being able to vote in local municipal elections. I live in NYC (which attempted to enable this option, but it was struck down in court as violating the state constitution) and this would significantly alter the voting landscape of the city. I’ll have to think about it more.
I don’t think that undocumented resident aliens should be able to vote in any elections.
I don’t think that legal or undocumented resident aliens should be able to vote in state elections.
And of course the right to vote in federal elections has been explicitly reserved to US citizens by congress.
I did some research into this out of curiosity. It turns out that the 30 day requirement for local and state elections was decided by the Supreme Court in Dunn v. Blumstein (1972) as an application of the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment, on the basis that states already allowed long-time residents to register to vote up to 30 days before an election and that restricting new residents from doing so was arbitrary.
That seems like pretty solid precedent and I would expect that this rule will never change, barring exceptional Supreme Court shenanigans.

My poodle knows how to tap the homepad with his nose to play music. He gets up to it, taps it, and then curls down beneath it to listen. It’s very cute and definitely intentional on his part.
