To say it like that is absolutely disingenuous and misleading. He was approved by the EPP, European Parliament (that is directly elected) and European Council (whose members are heads of states or government and they are directly or indirec

He was the President of the European Commission which requires approval of European Parliament (elected directly) and European Council (the heads of countries). What the fuck is EU supposed to do with him? Throw him out and tell leaders and

Guy Verhofstadt is a MEP, they are elected directly by the people. Peter Mandelson was a commissioner, they are nominated by member countries. Jean-Claude Juncker was the President of European Council, to become one he needed approval of mo

So we have an unclear "standard" that is only a de facto standard (and still varies in more advances directives between few big bots) that you're "pretty sure" about but that's seemingly not written down in its

That file includes at least two non-standard syntax extensions[0]. Robots is just a de facto standard and respect of some directives varies[1]. So much for it being 'not difficult' while the task is not even clear because there is

Sure, that's the only example of line starting with a dot (I think, I'm not super good at Python, just okay) so anything else that isn't a float should be fine.

Actually - I just noticed I dropped an I. It's Final Fantasy 13 (FFXIII), not Final Fantasy 12 (FXII). The sizes are correct though.

You can omit the leading 0 before the dot when writing float literals so just a '.1' or any other such sub-1 float literal with no leading 0 is technically a valid but useless line of code starting with a dot (you could use it ins

The overwhelming majority of space taken by games is HD or 4K assets, not code in any language or plaintext script. I can't even think of a single game that is 600GB off the top of my head, the latest huge AAA: Doom, Halo and Witcher a

This is inflation, (arguably) a positive force in the economy, it's not universal (see Swiss currency for a nice example) and it's also part of their own scheme (using the same justification as real life inflation) so why would th

I first thought it's some anti-inflation speak but it can't be since they want inflation in their system too and not all currencies inflate all the time (i.e. Swiss franc, but then again they might not care about Switzerland). Sim
