Jetbrains products also have a fallback license after a year, so you retain perpetual acces to an old version* and I don't think there is much change in the space of git UIs.
* iirc the version that you had one year before your payment lapsed, it applies to discounted versions as well

It's about hype and economics.
Tech companies can theoretically scale well and are valued on the expectation of growth while normal companies are manly valued based on what they currently do. An app can basically be copied for free to millions of users once it has been coded and servers don't cost that much. A traditional company, say a car company, that wants to increase profits has to build a new factory or something. The problems arise when a companies perception goes from startup/tech company to normal company.
Example: wework was a startup that rented office space long term and lets it customers rent short term from them. Once people realized, that it was a real estate company and not a tech company it's value plummeted, it couldn't raise more capital and went bankrupt.

For you to short something a institutional investor or market maker takes a long position on the same thing.
For some reason legit institutional investors never really show up in the crypto sphere and the smart market makers don't like to get high on their own supply (or are selling tokens they got at insider prices on the open market).

As an east Berliner we have trams and no double deckers, but I have only seen double deckers near the center of the city.
I can't remember seeing them in the places with trams, but I don't see them much at all. This is my limited observation, as I don't use busses as much as trains and don't know the west as well as the east.
If you really care I can cycle out (in?) on the weekend and check.

If you change the tokenizer you have to retrain from scratch, but you can do so with the old, unpolluted data.
It's genius if you think about it,* you can waste energy and tell your investors it's a new better model, while staying upstream from the river you pollute.

also nothing in the thread indicates why durov would feel threatened by Russia.
I think russia was debating banning telegram recently, because encryption allows for opposition, but kept it because of its military value.
If your platform was almost banned by a dictatorship I see why you wouldn't feel comfortable there.

Generally, forcing developers to code something has been considered "compelled speech"
I'm European so I don't quite understand.
Say person A paid person B to say X and had a valid contract. If B didn't say X can person A sue person B to compel performance of contract or just money back/damages?
At least for new games wouldn't it just be an implied part of the purchasing contract, meaning money back at least.

Good question. I said should, not could... it would take a constitutional change, [...]
I mean: if you had the power, how would you ban parties? At what point do political organizations become parties? How about individual representatives working together?
Bring back the old literacy tests while you're at it
Pfft. The two are not the same. You could be perfectly illiterate and still find out what the supposed values of the politicians were by simply listening to them, or just talking to others about policy and politicians ties to them, like we used to.
Yes literacy is not the deciding factor, but it was always a pretense to keep certain people from voting.
Imagine how much more attention you would have yo pay if you had to understand who to vote for.
How much time should a person spend following politics to get enough of an understanding? What about poor people working long hours with little free time?
Guess I should have gone with the landowning requirement instead.
The Hatch Act applies to all career federal civil servants and prevents anyone under that designation from running from office in any partisan race. Meaning if your local government doesn't allow political affiliations to be listed, then you
Sound like a problem with the Hatch Act, not with political parties. Over here civil servant can run in political races as long they separate their work and political live, they are not allowed to wear uniforms at political events for example.

Short answer:
It gave us compiler explorer, now that it has served its purpose we should stop doing it.
Long answer:
Why does hft even exist?
Hft can exist because most stock markets react to requests as fast as possible and have no noticable fees for certain use cases. This means algorithms that do simple trades like if goggle goes up, buy other tech companies or buy any stock that goes up in europe on the NY market can make small profits if they are faster than everyone else.
Does it have any value?
There is one exchange that imposes a delay on every request, effectively inhibiting hft, and its opening actually improved market conditions on all exchanges. This implies it has negative value.
They also spend millions on hardware, tools and developers to skim small sums of many transaction on the stock market. They are effectively a (very inefficient) tax on the stock market that goes to improving C++ compilers and funding hardware startups.

Desalination is expensive energy intensive and vertical farming is to expensive labor intensive. We could do them but they are massive inefficiencies when other options are available.
For better resource utilisation we could go vegan, except for animals exclusively eating grass/hay and waste products. But doing that would increase the price of meat and milk products, while making other foods cheaper and more available.
Sadly we can't have people only eating meat on some days, like in the "good old days", better use up all of earth before handling it of to the next generations.

We can barely afford to send our troops to the Russian border where they serve a purpose, showing cohesion and solidarity and commitment in NATO. I doubt N. Korea will consider Germany, a nation across the globe with low power projection capability, a threat.

Sometimes I come across links to communities or posts on instances that are not in the list of links the app recognizes as lemmy. Instead they open a browser tab. Given lemmys growing and decentralized nature it's unreasonable to expect devs to keep up with that. Please enable users to add to that ever growing list, at least for their own account. I understand that such a feature is may be far in the backlog or may never come at all, in the meantime I would be happy if you added the feddit.org domain to the list as feddit.de seems to be migrating there. **Workaround**: Apparently it works with the `! community @ instance` links like !ich_iel@feddit.org but not normal links feddit.org/c/ich_iel
