I was a resident of downtown Ottawa during this period. It was bad. We had a young kid and didn't feel even safe walking her to a park, because the route crossed over convoy lines and there were all sorts of stories of harassment and a

In this day and age, an organization on the scale of the US Army should have software development as in-house competency, rather than something they outsource and procure. It should be like combat engineering where it’s a set of technical s

According the opponent process model of colour perception you need three axes to represent all colours: luminosity [L+M+S+rods], red-green [L-M] and blue-yellow [S - (L+M)].

I'll agree with you that the Polievre / Conservative Party's anti-Trudeau astroturfing campaign has been extremely successful. You can see evidence of it all over the comments here.

They've used it well as a lever for pushing through their agenda on pharmacare and dental coverage. Overall it's been a success for the NDP.

This should be expected in times of increased inflation: prices for goods are increasing faster than wages, so most people have less disposable income. They'll respond by cutting back on or deferring unnecessary expenses (like upgradin

I've used Dvorak essentially full-time for the last 20 years and I can still type in QWERTY. In fact, I just switched to QWERTY just now to type this and it feels a bit awkward and I make some typos, but it's perfectly usable. The

My point is that the quantities that are consumed per serving are small and so it's the absolute costs that are more important than the relative difference.

In order to make that argument you have to assume that someone eats pancakes every day. I assure you we did not.

According to one random source online, a typical serving of syrup would be about 15mL per pancake, so perhaps 50mL for an average breakfast serving of three pancakes for an adult. My local grocery store sells maple syrup for $1.90/100m

The way I would have gone would be to define the standard to support both, such that the two sets of codes MUST be considered semantically equivalent, but that generation tools SHOULD prefer to generate the control codes for new files. This

The entry point can be anywhere in the .text section, and often won't be at the beginning of the section.

Technically the name _start is not special either. The binary lists its entry point address in a header and that’s where the OS starts execution from. That symbol is just called _start by convention by C and other languages, which is what t

It's not about physical distance but social distance, i.e who talks to whom, and how many degrees of separation there is there between who's making the decisions and who's doing the company's core work (for Boeing that&#

Mandatory naming systems are pretty common around the world. Many countries, for example, have a list of permitted given names, and requirements around what family name can be used (e.g father's name, if father is known).

I've walked on the ones at Toronto Pearson before. I was a bit surprised the first time that it wasn't moving at full speed like I expected when I stepped on, but after that the second time I knew what to expect and it worked well

Except that these are “actual Nazis” who have shown up. We’re talking about publications that, in some cases, use terms like “national socialist” and “reich” in their name and/or bio.

Sure, but without going too deep into hypotheticals, think of a group of neo-Nazis talking in the middle of a restaurant dining room or at the bar, sufficiently loud enough to be overheard by staff and patrons.

by a-priori 3y ago
That’s why I said “publicly”, as in you’ve called attention to yourself in some way, enough for the staff to be aware and to see that the other patrons are also generally aware of you and what you’re saying.

That’s not what we’re talking about here. We’re talking about newsletters that are explicitly pro-Nazi in nature.

If you went into most restaurants or bars or similar spaces, and you started talking publicly about pro-Nazi stuff, you’d have the owner of the establishment come over and ask you to leave. I don’t see how anyone can think this is unusual o

You shouldn't be able to simultaneously be a network operator providing wholesale connectivity for retail ISPs, as well as a retail ISP yourself. I'm looking at you, Bell Canada and Rogers.

It's more the other way around. There's a defined band plan, because historically cable TV was just transmitting radio signals over coaxial cable instead of radio, so it inherited the broadcast TV band plan. Then digital TV inheri

The fact that it's written in C++ doesn't make it 'bad'. It just means it's not suited to your use, which is your problem not the library's problem.
