Think responsibility. Even if you watched the thing roll you don't have a lot of responsibility. Only a little. Because as you said that I am involved. Let's say there will be an investigation because of criminal liability by inac

This happened to me too, I answered one problem a bit differently than I intended. But exactly that's the case in point! That damn lever is way too dangerous to touch. Only touch if you are extremely confident.

The problem is the responsibility. If you aren't willing to take over responsibility, it's better not to do anything. If you already have responsibility then it's a different matter.

Please be explicit. Do you mean something like insurance: a small amount of people has insurance but someone decided to insure even the people who haven't paid insurance? In that case it's clear that I won't pull the lever. I

I am a father myself. You need to weigh between letting your children learn things by doing and forbidding. Usually, when I see something I deem dangerous, I tell my children to be careful then carefully watch them. If I feel they don'

This was quite easy for me. The principles: 1. Only pull the lever if you are sure. With an action you assume responsibility for the outcome. 2. Don't believe everything what you see or are told. If you doubt do nothing. Imagine you ki

What does mean entitled, then? My other son tried to push his brother from the stool in the kitchen because he wanted to take that place. Is this entitled?

Thanks, that was something I am trying to understand. In other words, these are only pixels on a screen and these affect me in a different way than a real llama does.

To add to this: these Xeons are usually power-hungry. If you run them at home during the winter you might save some heating expenses if you do it cleverly. But the summer? Nah, forget it. This said, there are some Xeons which run on moderat

I usually don't play computer games. But I know Minecraft because my children play this game. To understand the game dynamics, I played Minecraft for a few days and watched Youtube videos and consumed other contents about the game. I a

> 22 is far too young Yesterday I had a stroll at the local cemetery. We discovered children tombs. One girl died when she was six years old. I can't imagine how hard that was for her parents.

Haha. In many european countries a child can only buy something if the parents agree. I as a father just would tell Nintendo to reimburse because I didn't agree with my child's purchase, give them some time then start a charge-bac

Meteor came out before async-await was a thing for Node. Meteor solved the callback hell with fibers. However fibers introduced concurrency bugs. A fiber has pre-emption points when doing IO. If some other code then changes some state then

Built is the right word for the trans-alpine rail tunnels. But why stop here? The Swiss continue to build even more tunnels, one of them is the Eppenberg railroad tunnel.

by _nalply 4y ago
These projects are almost finished, some tunnels are even in operation for years. But don't worry, the Swiss have even more projects in the pipeline, planned and in construction.

Bern is at 550 m (1800 feet) and Basel at 260 m (850 feet). I don't think that elevation changes matter a lot.

Imagine you ordered something from Amazon. It will take about 24 hours till it is at your doorstep. If all that time was spent travelling at 30 km/h, it could have come from 720 km or 450 miles. In Switzerland, the distance from Geneva

My brother is hard of hearing and extremely disillusioned about his workplace, but somehow he managed to bulldoze the team. The last time he told me that he has a separate captioning software running to Zoom meeting audio. This seems to wor

Your team mate should post his story himself. If you post for him it is like he cannot speak for himself. Discrimination can be so subtle that people aren't aware that they discriminate, yet it is damaging. Deaf people have a word for

It's a complicated but well-thought out system which tends to avoid copies by making them explicit in the source code and preferring taking references or slices which are cheap operations. The string slice for example is an Unicode-cap

I think neural networks alone are not enough for sentience. After all, only those animals (humans included) survived whose actions were beneficial for them (aka evolution). Neural networks seemed to have been beneficial for animals, so they

It's a niche feature on a declining medium. Probably not. (By the way, I didn't downvote you.)

If you can take up a brownfield project, try to make the debugger for Rust better. I am currently using CLion and sometimes I can't even print values, it is that bad. I would like to be able to call functions from the debugger. Perhaps

One concrete example is using hashes as identifier for objects. It is possible that this a bad idea because of collisions. However, if you have for example a federated system you don't have a central instance issuing identifiers for ob
