Exodus 20:5, “You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations o those who hate Me,” It's repeated in li

You need thicker wires for the same power. Which is why Americans live in constant fear of power extension cords, and people in EU just daisy-chain them with abandon.

Not everybody knows that Stanisław Lem lived through German occupation of Lwów (now L'viv) during WW2 (as a Polish Jew) and barely escaped an execution. Many of his most famous books can be interpreted through this lense, but he also s

Create a system in which politicians have to suck up to rich people to win elections. Wonder why you get oligarchy as a result. If anything it's a miracle it's only becoming explicit now. The whole system was held by spit and glue

What would it even mean in practice for them to think about concrete "walking" instead of the abstract concept? Verbs are inherently abstract. When I was with my dog in my parents' house and said "spacer" (walk in P

Again, because for some reason people keep forgetting - Russia stopped deliveries of gas to Germany BEFORE THE PIPE RUPTURED. When they tried to use the sanctions and broken turbine as excuse - sanctions were circumvented by Germany. Russia

They did stopped sending gas. And they would have to pay fines for that.

The guy who did it being Ukrainian in no way indicates Ukraine did it (as opposed to Russia). There's plenty of Ukrainians to choose from in Russia.

I'd say it's 33/33/33 whether it was Russia, Ukraine or NATO countries that blew up Nord Stream. Russia shut down transfers through Nord Stream months before it blew up, used lots of excuses not to re-open it (they said

Require ships entering Baltic to be insured for damage to underwater infrastructure. Blockade all the other ships. Insurers will figure out who is trustworthy enough.

Of course they can. They already forced their government out of a war once. They don't want to, because they get away with it so far.

We also have a separate case for missing something. So it's "Mam 3 książki" (I have 3 books) but "Nie mam 3 książek" (I don't have 3 books) or "Brakuje 3 książek" (3 books are missing).

Because old cities had these kinds of fires constantly (in my city there's still a paiting of a fire from 18th century that destroyed half the Old Town) and usually only stone/brick buildings survived. This isn't a 0%/10

There's left-wing orthodoxy. There's also right-wing orthodoxy. On the internet right-wing orthodoxy is the prevailing one, and it's also better funded (and more politically connected). You are not a rebel if you support the

Yeah people say use git bisect but that's another dimension (which change introduced the bug). Bisecting is just as useful when searching for the layer of application which has the bug (including external libraries, OS, hardware, etc.)

That's why you make it break differently first. To see your changes have any effect.
324.
by ajuc 2y ago
It's healthier to assume your code is wrong than otherwise. But it's best to simply bisect the cause-effect chain a few more times and be sure.

Legislating the lessons most medieval cities learnt in dark ages only in 2007 is still wild.

In real world you're not implementing binary search but using one implemented already. Hopefully implemented by someone who cared enough to avoid bugs or at least document the range of the arguments.

In Java. In C you just access random memory values (or segfault).

Well it's either that or document the domain.

It's as simple as replacing one NULL character with something else. Or 1 length field.
