Out of curiosity: was it marked as possible citogenesis during that period? How did the situation resolve itself?

Are you saying that the measures would have seemed more warranted if the phasing out of restrictions had been more gradual?

Actually, let me expand on that. And I hope I can say this without people reflexively seeing it as some kind of childish attack on Python. The reason I don't like Python is twofold. The somewhat minor reason is that I'm not fond

It would be helpful to move to a compiled language with a decent toolchain. Rust and Go are good candidates.

This is a relatively constant factor along the Norwegian coast and has been for many years. In recent years the behavior has become a bit more aggressive with communication cables at sea going missing. This tends to not make international

The two last statements of the post are indeed speculation. What was said up until that point can be verified. However, the speculation should be seen in light of recent history. Russia does have a history of shady maritime dealings cove

I'm assuming this is the ship? https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:16... Anyone have a Marine Traffic account and can tell us about its movements?

For those who downvote the above, yes it presents speculation as if verified fact, but what it puts forth is actually plausible when you see how Russian military efforts tend to make use of uncertainty. If you are going to dismiss it: dismi

Then I don't get it. Just the same way that I don't get Temu. I buy a lot of stuff on Aliexpress. Mostly electronics, odd tools, materials for hobby projects etc. I would think Temu would be interested in my business. But every

Every time I need to print something on MacOS I am reminded of how much I hate printers and any printer related software. I've been messing around with computers for 40 years now and goddamnit, every decade printers become more of a p

I would have expected to see some examples of how the GUIs look. Clicked around for a bit and didn't see one single example. This doesn't look serious at all.

I've spent some time (not a lot) working with Siemens PLCs and RTUs. Their target customer typically has an account manager who will help them choose the right devices, the right modules and the software that you need. Their typical

I agree with that sentiment, and I have tried to contribute in the past, but then again, you have to choose your battles. Making the kind of impact on auth that means I, or anyone else, will not have to deal with rubbish systems in the futu

The story of the gordian knot wasn't really about the problem. It was about the solution. So alluding to it when you talk about nuclear is apt, but not for the reasons people seem to think.

by bborud 2y ago
A lot of what is said about nuclear power fails to drill down to the bare essentials: how do you de-risk building nuclear power and how do you get the cost down. A lot of smug mumbo-jumbo written by industry insiders who have their heads t

Yeah, the thing is that `yes` isn't a stand alone project, it is usually part of a bigger project such as coreutils ( https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/ ). For the comparison to be valid you would have to

Yet, they are still a lot bigger than most micro-libraries. And more complex. And most of them tend to be parts of the same package (coreutils). So no, they have nothing in common with microlibraries. Not in concept, not in how they are

This has nothing in common with the UNIX approach. Awk, grep, sort, less and the like are perhaps small, but not that small and not that trivial.
