Nah. For most of human history there were not referendums to "let them choose". They just annexed the place.

The referendums is a relatively modern "invention".

Asking the people that currently leave there is not always the correct course of action though.

You want that land over there? Then you just have to kill/displace anyone currently living there, then fill it with your own citizens, then ask them. Easy land grab. Also a genocide.

There was no colonization.

The issue with the malvinas/Falklands is that there are no "historically rightful owners", since no one lived there when they were discovered by the British.

But it's also not as easy as "the British discovered, so it's theirs", because they just discovered and left. They didn't leave no settlement.

The islands have a complicated history, both sides have strong arguments in favor of themselves, there's no clear cut "rightful owner".

Yes. Dying your hair crazy colors will get you attention. But it doesn't mean that you dyed your hair because you wanted attention.

If my dog goes too far away, I will shout its name very loud so it hears me and comes back to me.

Doing this will inevitably draw the attention of most of the people around me. But that was not my intention though, I just wanted the attention of my dog. The attention of the other people is just an unavoidable side effect. It may even be an unwanted side effect.

This is not a list of all the things they are banning AI from.

This is a list of every reasonable use of LLMs they can think of in their environment.

So if anyone thinks "hmm, I know they don't like LLM contributions but I'm just going to use it once for X". The immediate next thought should be "They don't even allow LLMs to spell check, therefore my single use of LLM for X will not be welcome, I will not do it".

Basically none of this is enforceable. The rules are there so if someone is caught doing something, it can be pointed out that that something is written in the rules. And also to give a general sense of what is tolerated or not in a community.

This reminds me of a traffic law in my country:

It is illegal to go all the way around a roundabout 3 times in a row. There is not a police officer ok every roundabout, or a camera counting how many times you go around it. But if a kid goes off and do stupid shit at 2AM with a loud AF car, one of the things one might do is do many loops on a roundabout. Therefore they can't just say "I'm not doing anything illegal, I'm just using the public roads with my car and a valid driver's license". Since one of the things they did was doing more than 3 rounds in a roundabout.

When standing up it's definitely harder to get the last drops out. Sitting is easy as fuck, just use TP. On urinals there is no TP, so can't get rid of the last 1-2 drops. Never have that problem when sitting due to TP.

They were (mostly) safe when manufactured. Who knows after 80 years. Things degrade

I don't think the difference is the minimum education for entry.

I'd say the difference is how much of your paycheck is because of you specifically and how much is for just general labor.

So a physics researcher job is "skilled" because most of the pay is because the specific researcher knows about physics.

But a waiter job is "unskilled" since the skills needed to do the job are the skills needed for basically any job:

  • Basic maths skills
  • People skills
  • Willingness to work
  • Physical endurance
  • Enthusiasm to work
  • Memory
  • Handling stressful situations
  • Other relatively basic skills

Of those, only physical endurance and people skills are "exclusive" to being a waiter. There are some actual jobs that require no physical endurance. And some jobs don't require as much people skills as being a waiter does. But the rest of them are general across basically every job.

Of course, "unskilled job"s do require skills, I just listed a bunch of them. But most of those skills, any other worker that does any other job would have. Therefore I count payment for those skills as payment for "general labor" and not "payment for you specifically".

TL;DR:

Domain Driven Design has a flaw: not all types can be categorized into "valid" and "invalid", since it often depends on context.

Solution: you just haven't modeled your domain correctly. You have a type for "MyData" but you don't have a type for "MyDataThatIsBeingEditedByTheUser".

So the "final" type should be valid, but often you should have intermediate type(s) that model incomplete input.

Basically, when doing DDD don't forget your builder types.

If you come with reddit mentality, you're gonna see reddit eveywhere. In Lemmy, upvotes are not a popularity contest. There is no karma. Votes have no use other than sorting.

One of the reasons my comment may have more upvotes might be because it directly answers the question of the commenter above.

OP didn't ask what the borrow checker was, OP asked if it was an integral part of rust, and I answered it. Just like another commenter asked more specific questions about rusts' borrow checker and I answered them.

Another reason might just be that my comment has more entertainment value, while the other one is purely educational.

Another reason might be that Lemmy is already full of rust explanations, therefore there are probably not a lot of people left to learn how it works.
