Can you fire tenured faculty? I thought that was not possible (and what tenure was about)?

What's the purpose of live if you won't allow yourself to enjoy it a bit? So yeah, I'll do it, have fun and socialise with my friends. Of course within bounds, we're adults after all. I bet/hope there are less harmf

I can't relate to this at all. I would trade driving for a train trip if the total duration is somewhat comparable (or even a little bit longer), especially if I would have to make the trip regularly. I don't think flying is conve

definitely illegal in Europe, never heard of it. Wouldn't that massively hurt the environment???

I though the green in the bayer-filter was over-represented because the human eye is more sensitive to green compared to other colours?

For context, this is a well known slogan for the german state of Baden-Württemberg and I actually had the same association at first!

To the outsider it might seem that the only thing we've been doing is scaling up the neural networks, but that's not true. A lot of innovation and changes happened, some enabled us to scale up more and others just improved perform

Wow, unbelievable that it was designed in 2001! It still looks fresh and modern, although maybe a bit too playful so that it appears a bit childish? But only barely. It appears to have all the basic functionality expected from a modern oper

The whole situation seems quite chaotic for me, as I've read here in the comments. Different tolls on different tunnels/roads, different transit providers etc. It seems suboptimal. I wonder why this is not better designed? At leas

but on the other side people living in NY have to endure it. You can not just make the people living downtown dependent on the woes of the commuters. I can not imagine driving into NY as a large share of commuting mobility to make sense...i

not only this, it just decreases quality of life in the downtown. You want less space for cars, less traffic, less noise, less pollution, less parking and more bike lanes, public spaces, space for outside dining on former parking places etc

Isn't it easier for tourists to just take public transit instead of renting a car? You probably won't find parking next to the empire state building...

I think it's the other way around. The death of the city is when you see it as dependent on the suburbs, it places transportation and ease of access over quality of life. To see big cities thrive means increasing quality of live so tha

> all functions marked inline (regardless which crate). Is this a problem is rust? Is too much/too little marked inline? What if you really need to inline some function from some library that was not marked inline by the author?

Can someone comment on "Library-defined containers, iteration and smart pointers"? I have no rust experience so far. Magic compiler support for such primitives is something I usually very much, really strongly dislike, it was alwa

I think you have to differentiate. At least in germany, most rail is not fenced off and when we do, we do not use fences but instead sound barriers. I think faster rail is usually behind sound barriers in populated ares, and slower commuter

this is so blatantly wrong that i loose every respect for these people. It really makes me angry. It's just so selfish. I really don't understand how you can make things worse for everyone, just because you don't want things

as someone living in germany this is absolutely not my impression about courts deciding differently and e.g. siding with "evil corporate side". I also doubt it's corruption, maybe just a smart pick of the district to maximise

this is still no excuse. You could just disable 3rd party replacement parts by group-wise policy, maybe even enabled as default.

I think it's possible and it would be a good thing. Although I wonder...I use a slightly older brother printer (prob. 4-5 years old) with 3rd-party cartridges without problems. Is it different with other printers?

that's actually a great idea. While it's certainly not for everyone, if you don't like it there's every other apartment to choose. It's great to have options from the monotony of the usual apartments.

There are also LGBTQ rights. What if your child ends up coming out to you? Just because you're not part of it is not a valid reason. It's like saying you don't care about racism because you don't personally experience it
