The “Democratic” National Convention in c/usauthoritarianism

[–] aion 3 points 3 months ago

A party nominating their candidate before the state deadlines to appear on the ballot is not authoritarian, its making sure their candidate appears on the ballots for the election.

Yep, according to the US Flag Code:

When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right, that is, to the observer’s left.

TBF, it does have different instructions about how to display the flag outdoors, hard to tell from this perspective if it was actually hung properly.

Even when hanging the flag vertically, this is the correct orientation, with the stars in the upper left.

I'm think about putting them on bathroom fans as well. It would be really nice to have them automatically turn on/off based on humidity.

I was looking at the Enbrighten switches, the zigbee ones are on Amazon but they only list them the z-wave ones the Enbrighten website. Maybe the zigbee ones were discontinued? Seems like the industry is moving toward z-wave, maybe I should get a z-wave adapter as well.

In-wall light switch recommendations (self.homeassistant)

I'm looking to replace a few in-wall light switches for lights that are not easily replaced with smart bulbs. I currently use Home Assistant with z2m for all my smart lights and switches, so zigbee switches would be preferred. Does anyone have recommendations for smart in-wall switches?

Interesting, I wonder why Silverblue hasn't switched yet. Or maybe the documentation is out of date.

It's in the Silverblue FAQ: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/faq/#_how_can_i_play_more_videos_in_firefox_like_youtube

Admittedly, it does say you can use the flathub version.

Fedora Silverblue uses flatpaks for most apps by default. The exception is Firefox because the codes haven't been sandboxed yet, but they are working on it. If you don't need to play videos in Firefox, there is a flatpak available.

I realize Firefox is probably the biggest thing that really should be sandboxed, its why I haven't switched to Silverblue yet.

How can I report apps that falsely claim to be open source? in c/[email protected]

[–] aion 30 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The code for the first is there, its just on other branches, they seem to have a very unusual way of using git.

I picked this up at a yard sale and reseasoned it. There are no markings on it. Any idea what brand this is?

Using expectEqual (self.zig)

submitted 1 year ago by aion to c/zig

4 comments fedilink

Is this the best way to use expectEqual?

fn add(a: i64, b: i64) i64 {
    return a + b;
}

test "basic test" {
    try std.testing.expectEqual(@as(i64, 10), add(3, 7));
}

Without the @as the test doesn't even compile:

./src/main.zig:12:40: error: expected type 'comptime_int', found 'i64'
    try std.testing.expectEqual(10, add(3, 7));

Having to use @as seems makes the test less readable. It seems to me inferring the type of expected from the type of actual would make more sense.

I've started seeing some posts that appear to be from the future when sorting by new. These posts get stuck at the top of the feed until their posted time.

Is this a bug in the server? It seems like this could be exploited by normal users to effectively pin posts to the feed indefinitely.
