Some countries in the EU, like mine, have funny discrimination laws that say a positive discrimination is not considered a discrimination under the law, so it cannot be challenged. It is used as the basis for all women-favoring regulations.

Because not only that the immigrants have no allegiance to Germany, most have different culture and sometimes incompatible values. I grew up in the Middle East and I can tell that cultural differences and values were more smooth and compati

Observing the color of your comment, you hurt the feelings of many audiophiles. Feelings matter more than facts these days.

I think the problem is what you asked. 90% of time I ask LLMs practical questions about tech, equivalent to Stack Overflow questions, but I did have some discussions about some situations and I asked for information and arguments, not advic

In WW2 most shooting was covering fire, not targeted shots. That means people where not aiming shots, but just firing in the general direction of the enemy. If the 80% would have done it, the positive would be the other 20% would have been

Just curious, most people that use FreeBSD are either experts or hardcode enthusiasts. It used to include FreeNAS/TrueNAS users, but they migrated to Linux as the product moved to Linux. That means the users of FreeBSD are not the ones

No, AI is anything but "smart". And my understanding is that the network stack is so well done in FreeBSD that it is a shame to touch it with AI code.

Japan is a very interesting country for Western people (US and Canada, Western Europe) because it is by far the most developed country that is not Western. In this regard, it is unique and intriguing.

I am probably too old for this, so I don't understand the purpose of this app. As life goes on, old relationships are either maintained naturally or fade away, new ones replace them, etc. If I don't remember or feel like calling s

There is no sovereign immunity for firefighters, that is for states. Firefighters are city employees and cities don't have sovereign immunity.

Ambulances can be seriously damaged by attempting to do it. Police cruisers can do it, but then they may be sued for damages. I know that cars blocking fire hydrants were a serious problem in the past and owners sued firemen for pulling wat

The business model of any website that you care is your business. Or else it may just disappear. For example, this is why we all pay a maintenance fee on a small forum that we keep for 20 years, because without that it will close. "N

I used to write documentation in Markdown manually. About a year ago I started using a VSCode extension to tell me if there are minor errors in the documents, but nothing else.

Agree, but your explanation stops short of the full explanation: because fraud appeared, people were not punished for it, so it grew until it mattered, so everyone was punished with bureaucracy. If fraud would be quickly and severely punish

Ethernet did not stagnate. Ethernet on UTP did stagnate due to reaching the limits of the technology, but Ethernet continues to advance over fiber. For 10 Gbps I find it simpler and cheaper to use fiber or DACs, but motherboards don't

I don't think career plans matter. Workload does. If you have a work plan and taking any free days puts it in jeopardy, you will not take any extra free days. And if not meeting the full work plan results in no salary updates, which is

I am trying to imagine. The end result is similar. In Europe it would be "unlimited unpaid vacation days on top of the mandatory paid vacation". The same problems will appear: self-restrict to taking it. Management would never hel

I used jQuery for the past ~ 10 years on smaller apps and I had no problems with it. Then I slowly replaced it with modern JS wherever possible and I found that today I am using jQuery only because Datatables.js depends on it. It was a nice
