What is the risk of sabotage from someone working in and very knowledgeable about how the unit works?

I agree that there was already a sizeable portion of the population pro brexit, but it referendum was close, 50% to 48%, and it would not have taken much to push it either way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_inte

A man walks into a bar, the second ducks. I would imagine this would be difficult to translate, unless "bar" has the two same meanings in language it is translated to. There might also be confusion where aquatic birds fit in, or i

There is a browning where the head would be, but there are twigs and other leafs in the brown area but no head that I can see.

Yes, it looked like a woman to me but I was going by the title of the thread "man's head". Anyways, the image I was commenting is the one clicking on the thread title takes you to. The head is definitely missing: https:&#x2F

What is wrong with clavicat's comment? He is pointing out the hypocrisy of Intel claiming not to tolerate any form of racist. Genocide is by definition racist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide

My comment was in response to his assertion that "the primary reasons which caused Japan to become imperialist are directly tied to Western imperialism".

Is it safe considering the 1000 square miles of Ukraine that Chernobyl made uninhabitable? How safe are they against terrorist attacks, an attack by a rogue state or in a conventional war?

As it has been said democracy is rubbish, the only thing going for it is that it is better than the alternatives.

Are you forgetting the 1592 Japanese invasions of Korea which had the intent of conquering the Korean Peninsula and then the whole of China?

Overly complex code is more difficult to modify than elegant simple code. A 10x developer will produce simple elegant code. That is one reason why they are a 10x developer. Ten 10x developers will create a much more simple solution than 100

How effective would such a vaccine need to be? A vaccine of say 70% might be effective enough for herd immunity for a disease that is contagious person to person. But you don't get Lyme disease from other people so herd immunity is not

There are the Channel Islands, but perhaps you could claim that the Channel Islands were the ones to occupy England and not vice versa since they were part of Normandy!

The prefer "outcomes to output" is not a "How do be successful? Step 1: Be successful. Step 2: Be successful at purple". I can see the use of such a list for example on a team wiki as a reminder that you don't get

Not false. Sure there are exceptions to most rules, but break them only if you know what you are doing and are able to justify doing so.

There are a number of agreed bad practises: long functions, deep nesting, obtuse identifiers, unrestricted use of gotos, global variables, no coding standard, premature optimisation, C macros, raw pointers...

"agreed upon deliverables" is one definition of output. I think he is talking more generally, e.g. lines of code, over-long email, unnecessarily verbose documentation, ..., I could go on indefinitely. But you are really arguing in

>> Outcomes matter more than output. A focus on output yields sub-par outcomes. But isn't this just stating the obvious, e.g. don't measure success by lines of code written, number of commits, number of bugs fixed...? And th
