It is crazy to go to all of the extra trouble of dealing with an additional pointer for the email_t type, when it is just a struct that is a simple wrapper around a char * that could be passed around directly; a lot of the code in this example is just for dealing with having to manage the lifetime of the extra email_t allocation, which seems like an unnecessary hoop to jump through.

How do I discover the Pixelfed content that is out there when so many big instances block exploration?
It is true that I personally do not find most of her recent political comics to be particularly funny or insightful--which is fine, she does not have to draw to satisfy me--but there are plenty of her comics which are not about politics but about cats or silly reflections on life, especially before Trump got elected.
So in short, thank you very much for your comment because it totally inspired me to check this person out and find comics of theirs that I enjoyed! 😀
How do the likes of JD Vance and Drumpf rationalise no more DEI when they have wives who are DEI? It makes no sense.
People are not generally as self-reflective as you might think; when someone settles upon a core belief, they tend to stick with it for the rest of their lives, with any challenge to it being treated as a threat rather than as a potential opportunity for growth. You might think that when a core belief is completely wrong and leads to disastrous negative consequences that this might at be enough to lead someone to give it up, but strangely the mind does not actually work this way.
(I mean, I am not saying that these people are not also evil and/or oily snakes, but I think that there is value in observing the mental fallacies at work in others so that we can better spot them at work in ourselves, since our own mind is the one thing that we have at least some limited control over.)
Honestly, I felt that the writers also underserved Worf a bit as well. In TNG, he was (or at least, eventually grew into) a consummate professional. In DS9, it seemed like they took this earned sense of professionalism away from him and turned him into a stereotypical Klingon rage machine who was always on the brink of losing control.
It's not really an architecture that is intended to map into anything in existing hardware, but having said that, Mill Computing is working on a new extremely unconventional architecture that is a lot closer to this; you can read more about it here, and specifically the design of the register file (which resembles a convener belt) is discussed here.
But if a hashtag has not made its way over to my instance, then it effectively does not exist to me. Even if I do see it show up and decide I want to see more content related to it, if said content has not ever made its way over to my instance then I am still left out. The great thing about being able about able to check out what is on other instances is that I am no longer restricted to whatever the people on my instance are interested in.
This a completely different experience from Lemmy, where I was immediately able to go to a bunch of different instances, look through their communities, and go: "I want to subscribe to this one, this one, and this one!"
