Technology@lemmy.world•When Escalator Breaks, It Turns StairsEnglish
4·5 days agoMy understanding is that even if the brakes are working, it’s still not safe for maintenance people to have the public using them as stairs. And maybe to fix whatever is wrong they might need to disengage the brakes anyway.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You have 3 movies or TV shows to use to craft a world you would love to live in. What are they?
3·5 days agoStar Trek: Lower Decks
Xanth (cheating on this one because apparently it’s been in production, but it’s not released. Mainly I just wanted something where everyone has superpowers/magic, and not just a small minority.)
Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•foss nerds stop being condescending to those who don't know the same things you do challenge (impossible)
1·6 days agoI’m on the edge of that, it started existing while I was in college, but was called Phoenix, and then Firebird. It didn’t have the name Firefox until I had graduated.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who are your instant watch/listen/read media producers?
7·9 days agoI did in fact spend roughly an hour yesterday listening to a rant about how hybrid cars work.
Absolutely worth it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some social media platforms everyone should know?
3·11 days agoIt’s unfortunately a far-right hangout.
In US English at least, it’s also a very common abbreviation for “convict” as in a convicted criminal. Although one would likely see more of those in a prison or being lead out of a courtroom, I’m sure a typical police station has plenty of repeat offenders.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You have to invent a new type of candy or dessert, but if it's physically impossible or another commenter can prove it already exists, you lose. What are you making?
4·13 days agoCandy that smells like the house I grew up in specifically. Totally possible, but guaranteed not to exist. (Especially because there would almost certainly be no market for it, even including me)
Or perhaps Dragon Ball Zedd
And not just throw rock, also run very long distance.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the longest you've hid or just chilled in the restroom at work?
6·17 days agoSo did you win the wrongful termination suit?
Looking at the forecast: Tomorrow it’ll be June 1st.
The ambulances will have to wait their turn.

1·18 days agoThat’s true, it is a very different paradigm.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say that nobody thought it possible before Rust, but I agree it’s much more effective and performant.

1·18 days agoAh, yeah looks like address 0 is nothing special on C64. I was thinking more about things like Qbasic and especially Visual Basic where dereferencing address 0 expecting a string or object is easy enough to do.

2·18 days agoI can’t claim to have learned them well, but I have used Java and various Basics over the last 30+ years.
Which parts of my comment do you disagree with?

31·18 days agoI thought one of the goals of Java and similar was partial memory safety? If it didn’t have null it seems it would be most of the way there.
And don’t forget Basic. Yeah most variants had pointers and equivalents to null, but they are ‘advanced’ and not meant for general code. (Although that’s interpreted and you said compiled, often it could be ‘complied’ similarly to Java bytecode)
