Basking in the hot water

That's the only reason i don't think this is real

Mostly because at the lowest level of computing (machine code and CPU instructions), pointers are the only method (that I know of) of any kind of indirection.

At the lowest level, there are 2 types of references:

• CPU registers
• memory addresses (pointers)

Every higher level language feature for memory management (references, objects, safe pointers, garbage collection, etc) is just an abstraction over raw pointers

Pointers themselves are really just abstractions over raw integers, whose sole purpose is to index into RAM

With that in mind, pointers to pointers are a natural consequence of any kind of nested object hierarchy (linked lists, trees, objects with references to other objects, etc)

The only other kind of indirection would be self-modifying machine code (like a Wheeler Jump). But the computing world at large has nixed that idea for a multitude of reasons

This looks more like a solar eclipse

As a furry,

These are both really funny

Fire alarm

1 - popsci headlines about food are always bogus

2 - skimming through the article, it suggests that the Vit B in vinegar is the suspected cause

3 - substituting vinegar for antidepressants (which the article does not state, but seems to ~~elude~~ allude to) is a bad idea

Use a towel

Just make sure it's not damp, or the resulting steam will burn you

As a furry, this confuses me in ways i did not anticipate

I wonder if KDE connect could leverage the way Syncthing does device discovery and pairing

It works across networks, with no configuration

Just a software dev furry passing by

I feel like that would cause false positives

Then again, not that many people mess with their router
