The significance was that they needed to be based in a NATO country, and not in Ukraine. I agree that it wouldn’t make much of a difference if it was Poland or Germany.

The problem with the Polish jets was apparently that they planned to fuel and load them from a German airbase. It wouldn't really matter that the planes only were flown by Ukraine pilots. The German airbase would still be a legitime mi

When someone with a gun asks for the content of your wallet, you give it to them, and make sure you aren't unarmed next time you meet. When someone is trying to drag you away to enslave or rape you, you fight with everything you got.

What kind of outcome can you think of where Russia's economy isn't pushed back at least 30 years? Fighting wars over natural resources haven't made sense in more than hundred years. They are such small part of the global econ

I’m quite certain rivers always flows downwards due to gravity. So mountain ranges tend to be problematic to run through.

Not only the chemistry or the sensor, but also the exposure. If you want to see details in dark areas you need more light.

IKEA always have had a range of different quality products. You could buy cheap stuff that didn't last or you could more expensive stuff that last 20 or 30 years ago as well as today.

That of course depends on how you show it on the screen. You can of course show those part of the sensor that didn’t register anything (less than 40) as grey, and everything than saturated the sensor as a bit lighter grey. But people don’t

That is exactly what is happening when you lack dynamic range. Say that your eye is sensitive from light intensity 0 to 100 in some units, but your camera sensor only handles 40 to 60. That means that everything under 40 will be mapped to b

Is it dark complexions or everything dark. It might be that it is only when it is a a face you notice the lack of details.

In my experience, those that don't take any individual action rarely take any meaningful action on any other plane either. Either you get it and care, which means you do whatever little you can do yourself and work for changing the soc

I agree with you, but for me, maybe because I don’t have much hair on my head, adding a knit cap certainly helps.

It is liberals that do try to do something about climate change, while the right in the US still question if it even exists.

But we all do consume too much for it to be sustainable. While I agree that we primarily need regulation, mostly on industries and the production of goods and services, our collective individual choices do matter. And I can’t credibly fight

I'm so old so I consider everything this millennium kind of new ;)

Distributed systems is certainly not new. But the whole notion that we need to use them for absolutely everything is new.

We are currently paying quite much more than I'm used to, and our throughput is a small fraction. I don't mind managed servers, it just that we didn't use to need so much of it. Unix isn't that hard. And Docker container

I think that this is the problem. No one understands what is going on. So instead of trying to find the root cause of anything, they add another tool or another layer. And then we have 45 micro services running on a lot of expensive hardwar

Thank you for your answer. It have given me something to ponder. I've already considering getting a digital piano as a birthday present for myself in a few weeks time. Not only for myself, but also hoping I can inspire, or at least giv

My problem is that I quite early learned most basic music theory. But I’ve never really figured out how to use it. I read sheet music and I can play several instruments (not particularly well any of them). It feels like I learned a list of

Is that date format used anywhere outside the US? We have always used YYYY-MM-DD. Which is very nice, if for nothing you can use a single string sort if for whatever reason need to sort them.

The programming language certainly has something to do with it. If your programming language has things like garbage collection or dynamic dispatch, it's very hard to generate as fast code for the simple reason that your programming la

I'd say that Lightroom already today does quite impressively, and I'm certain that there are specialised software that does even better.

And that basic pattern is usually called Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) and there are numerous implementations. Some respectable Open Source ones too.

Yes, either you pay for a subscription or you once pay for a specific version and have to pay again if you want to use a later version. You can’t both, that is, you pay once and get upgrades indefinitely. Even developers have to eat.

Even wood is supposedly quite much stronger than steel for the same weight of material.
