sure it depends on the design, but no standards-compliant non-PoE Ethernet design is going to light up an LED, it barely uses 1 volt.

Except neither of those things are true.
the link light is powered by the switch
No it’s not. If you don’t believe me, unplug your PC’s power cord and watch the light go out.
If the power cord is plugged in but the computer is shutdown, and the light is still on, then that means the network adapter supports WoL or OOB management and must stay on for that reason, but the network switch connected to the adapter is not physically powering any lights.
I think syntax preference plays an enormous role in convincing people to even try it.
It was better in audio/video quality and being smaller, but not runtimes.
I have, I still don’t like it and I have tried several times to get used to it and I just can’t. I don’t see any problem in avoiding a language because of its syntax that is painful for me to look at all day.
Regardless of whether you think those reasons are subjectively bad or not, it is the current reality for many developers.
there are plenty, you just don’t happen to use them
It’s wrong to force it. Most choices in history don’t end up with the best one being used. Beta was better than VHS for example. Rust people are very bad at convincing others to try it, and objectively many people just don’t want to or don’t like it for various reasons.
Personally I highly dislike the syntax. People like familiar things, and to me it’s just too different from C++.
If anything I think Swift will be an easier sell when the speed and cross-platform issues are solved.
Any reason to use this over notcurses? Are there docs somewhere with examples on how to get started?
I’m very happy and healthy but thanks for asking
why does the logo look like a noose
Not if you only ever used tor to access the site.
Screenshotting this for the long troll
Actually they’re smarter than you… they know they don’t need to brainwash every single citizen, only the ones gullible enough to fall for it, which is the vast majority of the population.
Only even 5% of the world population has objectively good computer skills according to OECD.
Now imagine how many services just silently cut off your password at 8 characters and people never notice.
UltraVNC is very guilty of this.
Did it work before on Pop? If so and you switched distros then you’ll need to re-pair the controller itself (or clear its pairings and re-initiate the pair from the controller before it’s visible to Bazzite) as the controller only remembers the pairing from your old OS install.
I want to see specific examples of serious bugs that rust would catch that clang -Weverything
, clazy/clang-tidy
and scan-build
would not find for C++… because I’m still not convinced it is anywhere near worth learning at all for career/veteran C and C++ folks.
I was not refuting that, yes drivers can control the LED since forever. The original comment was “the link light is powered by the switch”, which I’m saying is not possible. An ethernet switch (assuming it’s not PoE) cannot directly power an LED on a network adapter in your PC let alone the rest of it, that’s all I’m saying.
