I'm reading up about C++ move semantics and I don't understand why anybody in the history of humankind has ever tried defending this language.

@fasterthanlime Oh look it's a good chunk of what my C++ video is about and why C++ failed its move semantics and the reasons behind it (the reasons are worse than anything you can cook up in your head).

... Oh. Uh. How badly would everyone hate me if I wrote a paper that allowed

T foo[2];
and
T[2] foo;

to mean the same thing as far as type declarations go in C?

@karolherbst 2 arrays of type T, foo and bar

Getting my m1 restored at the Apple Store to deal with not having a second Apple to restore the broken one.

Man I do not like this kind of vendor lock-in!!

(Yes I can restore from Linux; but the Apple device WAS my Linux device 😂😭)

thephd OP , vor 12 Tagen

Unfortunately: I had to wait a long time in line and so now the restore they do will be "overnight". Of course it could take up to 30 flippin' days and they may also extort me for hardware failures soooo

we are in the endgame worst case if things go sideways, here's hoping I can just pick this up tomorrow bright and early.

Well, after wasting a bunch of time trying every combination of login names imaginable with the password I know works I guess it's time to just completely re-do my Mac from the ground up, because Why Not.

Come on, man. :/

How are Apple machines the least functional of all the devices I've ever had to use. What the hell is going on.

"I'm gonna try to use this as my daily driver!"

Apple M1: "Hehe, no you're not!"

In very rare circumstances, such as when a power failure interrupts macOS installation, your Mac might start up to a circled exclamation point. This means that the firmware stored in your computer's memory needs to be revived or restored.

Well, here we go.

I NEED A SECOND MAC TO RESTORE THE FIRST ONE WHEN SHIT GETS THIS BAD?

Bro come ON.

thephd OP , vor 14 Tagen

@Sobex Given my current luck, do you think it would be good to do this, or do you think I should just go to the Apple store?

thephd OP , vor 13 Tagen

@Sobex @lina Alas, I am screwed in this regard (it won't boot into RecoveryOS anymore, I think it broke) and I always get put on the exclamation point. I don't have Linux machine but I can pribably make a liveusb with idevicerestore on it or something....?
