i’m facing this dilemma right now. We require a library that hasn’t been updated in two years with a maintainer/developer that’s no where to be seen. But it’s really the only solution aside from building something from scratch or forking. This is for an enterprise level peice of software/spaghetti from a top 3 company in the industry…and super normal to see happen regularly.
Basically, every floating point number represents a range of numbers. Which can lead to small errors like this. It has also to do with trying to represent a decimal number in binary, which works fine for integers but not for rational numbers.
I assumed, at first, that it was somehow falling through the infinite loop and accidentally runnning the unreachable function, but it clearly explicitly runs it in the assembler generated…
edit: ah, it’s called from __start, which suggests that main is being elided entirely by the optimiser, and somehow ‘unreachable’ is simply becoming a defacto ‘main’
well, I saw your comment and made it here, so at least one happy customer was served.
Kind of short-sighted by Christian to do this. He could put up an instance, make an Apollo update (not trivial) and migrate a bunch of users onto Lemmy. Getting a decent percentage of Apollo users over here would be good for a producer of a popular app based client. I’d wager operating his own instance would end up being cheaper than Reddit’s API fees. He could even benefit from donations to keep his servers running.
Everybody wins in this hypothetical, magical, free business idea.
I don’t mind the ban too much as I don’t use reddit often, but it’s probably indicative that the developer plans to stay with reddit. Our door is always open to him if he changes his mind tho.
Could any of you genocide deniers make an argument about why the people of Xinjiang should stay in their concentration camps without bringing up America’s past sins?
Isn’t it totally possible America is evil and so is China?
