I disagree. This case is very controversial, at least from the point of view of the parent. Being reported may be seen as betrayal by the parent, even if it is objectively justified. That could also be the reason why „everyone around“ faile

I don‘t like dismissing technologies on the basis of being „magic“, since the magic could often just as well be called abstraction, and the line between them is often personal preference. The abstracted-away logic in a Laravel application c

Even less is correct: outdoor fibers (G.652.D) have a minimum bend radius of about 30mm. The indoor counterpart (G.657.A1 and A2) have 10mm and 7.5mm.

We can't really tell that without knowing where the code is used, no? It's not hard to imagine a test that checks the following: bill = FactoryBot.create(:bill, products: []) expect(bill.currency).to eq("USD")

The exclamation mark has a reason: if the newly created records fails validations, an exception is raised. Without the exclamation mark, the error is silenced (and the method returns a falsey value). This is a convention across Rails. Ruby

I don‘t think so. At least the french one is quite old and was discussed here before AI was in wide use: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28490935 I remember that many of the other languages popped up a little later.

The status quo is that companies which are required by law to have this information (banks, telecommunication providers etc) do require an ID scan (and often video identification as well). All the others don't really care and just let

I agree that it can be useful, but I fear that in the future, we will have many more online platforms that require an ID than we currently do. In the past, things like age verification required users to upload a scan or photo, and someone h

Isn't an apology a bad metric for evaluating models? Without understanding much, it seems to be more an indication of the type of content the model was trained on, rather than an indicator of how good or bad a model is, or how much it

I just tested it, and it looks as if that was fixed. It seemed to work for me.

In a way, yes. I don't count on it being private though. But it appears nowhere online, so it's not used by credential stuffers or other bots.

I have added what I think they call login alias to my account. This blocks logins using the normal account username (which is my public email address), and only allows them via the alias (which is not public and just a random string). Not a

The article is still understandable, and someone took the time to write in their second (or third?) language. This was probably much more work for them than for us needing to reread some sentences because they mix up the order of some words

I don’t know if two minutes are possible, but in Berne, Switzerland, the bus line 10 runs every three minutes. Parts of the loop have dedicated bus lanes, but it‘s probably less than a third of the distance. PDF: https://www.bern

I always thought it was funny that people criticize the "magic" of certain frameworks, when at its core, almost all programming is magic (since it is almost always an abstraction). And there is probably no clear distinction on whe

This is just a feeling, and I am still speaking for the German part only, but I think age matters less than urban/rural. Many older people I know have no problems communicating in English when they‘re abroad. Would be interesting to ha

No, I wouldn't say it's an English-speaking country either. No one talks in English to their peers that are from the same language region. But yes, I can mostly speak of the German-speaking part. People generally have little probl

That doesn‘t match my experience. About 40% of all Swiss inhabitants speak English at least once a week [1]. Anecdotally, I can't think of a single acquaintance younger than 50 years old that doesn't speak fluently. Everyone in Sw

„Early days“ is until 1990 in that case, which is surprisingly late. Some nations got around the ban by employing the athletes as soldiers and allowing them to prepare almost full time though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki

I often travel from Switzerland to Scandinavia or Finland by train, so a journey of about 30 to 40 hours. There are frequent delays, especially in Germany [0], but it was always easy to get a confirmation from the railway companies, and I w
