The problem is that it's not that much harder to make it work for all the valid inputs. Not doing that is not good enough. Another example is summing lots of floats naively instead of using Kahan's algorithm. It's like we had

Or you could live in Poland and only get C64 and (clones of) NES in 90s. And copyright only started being a thing in like 1993. So before that public radiostations broadcasted computer software sometimes :) And there were open air markets w

Some things never change. I remember waking up early on Saturdays in 90s to load some game from tape on my C64 before the neighbor starts his sawmill. Couldn't load anything when it was running :)

The parasites you should be worried about are memes (in the biological meaning - an idea that forces host to reproduce and spread it - not "a funny image" meaning). We already have such ideas that change human behaviour on massive

Tuna is closer related to humans than to sharks for one example. So if your definition of fish contains tuna and sharks - it also has to contain homo sapiens and whales.

On reddit, hn, and internet in general the conservatives support modern totalitarian states like China, Russia or Iran much more often than progressives. Despite very real and very recent atrocities.

I worked on a 2-layer C++ + PL/SQL system with lots of legacy business logic in PL/SQL that was slowly migrated to 3-layer architecture with Java EJB business logic using Hibernate for database operations. The Java business code s

NATO can do several levels of conventional response that is at once completely in accordance with international law, more destructive to Russia than tactical nukes will be to Ukraine, and not threatening proliferation. And Russia will be nu

None of these countries expel their own citizens just because they had Russian parents or whatever.

I really like Timothy Snyder's take on this. Breakthroughs in information technology always cause disruption in the political meaning (wars and chaos). It was like that when writing was invented (making big organized religions possible

It's VERY unlikely EU funds were never involved. Public transport and transport infrastructure is often incentivized with public money, usually with EU participation. It's hard to find big projects that had 0 EU funding.

These things are pretty random and don't usually align with party boundaries. Train lovers / open source / hacker communities are marginal interests groups. If a MP is from the region where the factory is - he might support i

The basic difference that makes it slightly less of a deal than it looks like is - unlike in the US - the whole lawsuit costs in Poland are paid by the person that lost the case. The issue is still having the money when you need them before

NATO can destroy russia conventionally in a response to a nuclear attack. You can't sell a first strike nuclear attack to the rest of the world as "justified". And a tactical nuke won't change anything significantly mili

The assumption that a law that directly influences millions of people daily lives and has close to 0 direct budget costs associated with it won't be updated when it becomes counterproductive is quite funny. Are you American per chance?

USSR alone lost 5. We can make excuses all day long, some are even true, but the hard cold facts remain - russian navy sucks.

Putin was very clear the last 10 times too :) About western tanks, military jets, etc. It's all bullshit. Out of all the things Putin won't do - nuking NATO is the first.

Russian navy is objectively shitty. For one simple statistic - USA has about 2 times the number of nuclear submarines Russia has. Despite that Russia/USSR has lost 7 nuclear submarines and USA have lost 2. You cannot dismiss accident r

> Send them back on foot to Moscow, revoke their non-Russian citizenship Eh, why? Most of them escaped russia because they didn't liked Putin. I know a few such Russians in Poland (with Polish citizenship too).

Their policy is to do whatever putin wants, they were never particularly strict about their policies (for example half the things Prigozhyn did were against the Russian law). Policy changes are just posturing. Also - tactical nukes won&#x27

Oh they are always great in the press releases :) And it's not like the ships are badly designed. The Kuznetsov sister ship that was a casino for a while and now is Chinese works perfectly well. The problem with Russian navy is lack of

It's been long time coming, Russia needs to be dealt with. Give Ukraine a couple hundred longer-range missiles, let them attack the oil fields, powerplants, refineries etc. Seize the shadow fleet tankers. Sanction Russia for real. It w

Why not? Let me remind you the Russian capital ship of the Black Sea fleet during this war had most of it's self-defense systems inactive and half of them broken and was destroyed with 2 missiles. And the only Russian carrier - Kuznets

Black people in USA certainly gained political power over time and white people lost it. There is still white privilege, but the direction is obvious.

If Israel invaded and annexed parts of Iran and openly demanded Iran as a state was destroyed? Pretty obvious.

This is strongly politicized in Poland, there have been many commissions and expertises, and despite most Poles thinking all the worst about Russia - majority (me included) does not believe it to be on purpose.

Because Russia is innocent by definition. That's how Russians actually think.

As long as you disable the minimap in game. Which is the correct way to play open world games anyway. Other ways you look at the arrow instead of looking at the environment.
