Article 3 of the Geneva Convention. Laying down your arms is generally considered an expression of surrender and renders protection. Also, who sends scouts unarmed? They should at least have a sidearm.

Correct. That's not interpolation though, that's theft.

They meant that even the happens-very-fast AI singularity isn’t sub-picosecond. It still exists in time, and has a duration. The event horizon would then be the time period between the singularity becoming inevitable and it actually happen

Almost all of human development is interpolation over data we have seen before. It’s not exactly a strong argument against AI.

100%. I absolutely would prefer my own country to be a global superpower, but it isn’t. However, currently, only US and Russia have publicly threatened my country, and both are currently engaged in a trade war with us. China on the other ha

TBH China is not currently bombing a foreign country for no reason and it is not threatening to invade its allies. It’s not a particularly high bar, but of the big powers, only China currently meets it. And I know you will say „but payment

You changed the topic. The topic is not what Codeberg should care about. The topic was trust in the humans behind Codeberg to not delete private repositories on a whim. Codeberg community is free to care about whatever it sees fit. That doe

„ and if your intention is fine and good, they'll be OK with it“ That doesn’t work because „fine and good“ doesn’t mean the same thing to Codeberg voters/admins and to a large part of the hacke news population. Notably, Codeberg i

From what they list on the website, they don’t offer N+2 reliability / they are not present in sufficient geos to actually act as a CDN.

Can I just point out that either the vendor is small and therefor can’t actually offer the N+2 reliability you list as a weakness of self-hosting, or they are large enough for N+2 but then stop being small. My tiny website doesn’t need a CD

The pricing is bananas. Why on earth is the bandwidth metered? An EU tiny VPS on Scaleway with unlimited bandwidth costs 5€. This thing costs 9€. With limited bandwidth. ?!

An artillery crew is armed with the cannon. POWs don’t have attorneys, but they do have rights. Limiting food and medical aid is a war crime. Of course, everybody routinely violates the rights of POWs, and only the losers ever get prosecute

Note that the UK would be committing war crimes in this case, since you are not allowed to murder unarmed soldiers, you are supposed to capture them and put them in POW camps. Which is typically called „arresting“ when a government does it

No. Although I believe some crimes are not optional and must be prosecuted. Somewhat interesting, even if you as a victim don’t want it, some crimes are simply mandated to be prosecuted.

Private prosecution does exist, but only for some crimes. IIRC if the public prosecutor refuses to prosecute libel, I think that is one of the rare few crimes you can prosecute civil-ly.

Unless you know what that very specific word means, it’s not obvious to everyone because it’s not the same in all legal systems. It was worth mentioning. It also matters because that means UEFA can only really ask nicely, and hope they get

I am not a lawyer, but I do live in Zurich. AFAIK, you can’t actually bring criminal charges as a civilian. You make a complaint to the public prosecutor and they choose to press criminal charges. Some crimes are only prosecuted if somebody

Visual things often are. I love the visual style. It's especially interesting to set the colour scheme to the orange/yellow glow of reaaaly old school terminals.

Agree. But that is the OPs job then. The difference between good and bad design is that it will make those choices well.

I use eInk as my daily driver and do everything including ssh into tmux into vim and code on eInk. I build all my UIs with Rust and Ratatui. It works very well. So for web, I think it would translate to: 0) NO ANIMATION. You have like, 0.3

It seems to me you are not aware you can use dish soap and pry bar, wrench or screwdrivers to mount tires on rims. Enjoy: https://youtu.be/CbDCDOs3Vr8

I don’t think that a single-moving-piece gas turbine powered cars are currently on the market? And how many are single piston? Go carts and motorcycles maybe, but cars? And I was using complex as a shorthand for „more things to maintain“.

To be fair, DIY natural gas production from kitchen waste is a thing some people have done. It’s surprisingly doable and produces surprisingly large amount of usable energy. It can be scaled up.

True. But we don’t have enough synthetic hydrocarbons for the current most important usage: jet fuel. Might as well drive a quiet, renewable powered electric vehicle and let the jets use the synth. Or take the train.

Both, I guess. But fine, rotating tires and changing seasonal tires at least is something every car owner should be able to do. Either way, you need to do both on both ICE and BEV equally.
