WHO was also preparing for Covid turning people into zombies. It's their job to prepare for anything that has an above 0.5% chance of happening.

That's not how mines work. They don't only explode on people you want them to explode on.

He isn't saying that at all, though. He is saying that by the nature of war, innocent people will die. Everyone knows this, which is why international law is based on proportionality, not on whether or not a single civilian was harmed.

Surely nothing to do with the missile launcher next to it, right?

How would you like a country to respond to getting bombed?

Kind of. It supports an end operator as well, and imo everyone should be using it. I actually really like the `end name` approach as opposed to the Lua-style plain ends.

No, we wouldn't.

How much does it take advantage of being a DB underneath?

This is incredibly neat and might actually become a part of my toolbox.

You could reasonably argue that both are in their interest, and which one they choose to push is down to a decision. The war already has popular support in Israel (last time I checked, the quoted number was 86% in support) so the government

The EU does quite a lot of military and non-military censorship as well, such as banning RT and its ilk.

I've seen crazier conspiracy theories...

Apparently resolving bets requires at least 3 sources. At the same time, ToI is the largest news outlet in Israel (that reports in English), so I imagine it'd get a lot of the focus.

I assume the strange English translations of some of the Hebrew messages are because the messages were badly translated to Hebrew. It certainly sounds like the kind of result you'd get out of Google Translate.

This always seems like such a lazy way of thinking. How do you know more local news outlets didn't report it? More to the point, do you even speak Hebrew? If not, how would you be able to tell whether or not it was reported on, or what

Iranians primarily use rockets, not missiles. It's perfectly possible, even likely, that said rocket just missed. If you read the article, the journalist did actually say he had a military source...

I'd agree with the blackjack comparison, but not roulette. Both "futures betting" and blackjack need skill to be able to win even if luck plays a significant part, as opposed to roulette, which is just pure luck.

Where does C claim to have strong typing?

by Pay08 7mo ago
Compilers could choose to not place the literals into .rodata. Honestly, I don't know why it isn't at least an option on modern implementations.

by Pay08 7mo ago
Maybe since it's free and therefore not a "product", it's fine? But then you also have things like gitkraken, which is certainly a service.

I'm fairly certain that the C standard doesn't specify that string literals should be placed into .rodata, just that changing mutating them is UB.

Those exist elsewhere too, but at least in Hungary, they aren't separate institutions with different legal statuses (except for vocational schools), unlike the system I was talking about.

Nobody is saying they are mandatory, and I'm actually a big fan of gradual typing. My point is that they do nothing. However, type hints reducing the functionality of the language isn't true either.

It's valid in C, due to semantics around pointers. Try that in Java and you'll quickly find that it's not valid in "C-ish languages". C absolutely checks types, it's just weakly typed. Python doesn't check

I guess an overflow would be possible if the size of a point and int differs.
446.
by Pay08 7mo ago
Exactly my point. If I need to run 300 external tools for a language feature to be worth a damn, why is it a language feature?

That's a terrible comparison. You could've at least compared Git to a lathe. Imagine if educators had this attitude, no one would want to learn anything.

While I have my issues with the system, many Soviet-controlled countries implemented a two-tier higher education system that solved this by having one tier be focused on practical subjects and the other on theoretical ones.

I still can't get over the utter idiocy in Python's type hints being decorative. In what world does x: int = "thing" not give someone in the standardisation process pause?

Especially since a lot of the quotes in the article sound like Google-translated Hebrew.
