Well I consider stopping donating to them.

Well mistakes happen. I hope your next contributions wont be regurgitated AI slop.

Cool AI Post.

Also since when is Alphabet the “creator” of Google? It’s literally Google but under a different name to avoid Antitrust.

The Ads position:

We’re growing the Mozilla Ads product team, passionate about display advertising in Mozilla products that is privacy-respecting and values-aligned. You will be one of the lead engineers that will craft, build, and be responsible for the core systems, both front-end and back-end, that support advertising in clients (Firefox, MDN, Pocket, Fakespot, etc). You and your team will be the domain guides when it comes to advertising, providing direction and shepherding to various product teams across Mozilla.

Yeaaaah fuck off Mozilla, we don’t want Ads.

Why Mozilla?

At Mozilla, we’re serving humanity—by maintaining a safe, open internet—while also helping the individual humans employed here to reach their personal and professional goals. […]

I guess that’s no longer the case then?

Gravity is desire

NGL, it looks like a Samsung phone.

You realise that the modlog is public right? Learn from your mistakes and read up on the rules.

More like deranged at that point.

Rice cookers. It’s super low tech but works great to cook perfect rice.

Holy Hell!

A bad try at distraction? Also how he handled his daughter… Uuh I guess nobody should EVER be “impregnated” by this asshole.

sure thing buddy, and never feel discouraged to ask “stupid questions”, it’s how we learn after all :)

but rather a raw binary sequence, e.g., the first 24 bits of an IP address, therefore allocating 3 bytes of memory for storing the NID.

That would require dynamic memory allocation, since you can never know what CIDR your stack encounters. It could be a nibble, a byte, a byte and a nibble, …, 4 bytes. So you would allocate a int32/int64 anyway to be on the safe side.

But why do we need the bitwise AND for that, specifically? I understand the idea, but would it not be easier to only parse the IP address string of bits only for the first n bits and then disregard the remainder (the host identifier)?

Essentially it boils down to:

bit operations are stupid fast and efficient, String operations are super slow.

Also, IP addresses are always stored as int32/int64, so applying String operations would require them to be converted first.

Okay, so you want a laptop or a desktop?

I mean you can program on a potato, so what would be your programming need? Something specific you want to get into?

Yes Hardware Firewalls exist, but those are primarily infrastructure and not part of a computer.

If all you want to do is program on that rig, then maybe consider an integrated GPU solution so you don’t have to invest in a overpriced Graphics card.

When you care about security and privacy you probably want to run a Linux distribution/BSD instead of Windows? Or do you want Apple (as then this discussion would be superfluous anyway)

It would be so much better, yeah.
