That's the implication of "At some point you have to decide: if my country ..." since "you" can't refer to anyone other than the Iranians. They have not "decided" to get bombed by Zionists.

Perhaps you may want to address my argument instead of nit-picking on that I used "Arab world" instead of "Middle East"?
273.
by bjourne 8mo ago
Great, but that is nit-picking---I'm describing a cultural trait present in Iran which makes certain decisions seem irrational to Westerners.

I have ten times as many Iranian friends as you have. They are all against the bombings.

Fleeing is seen as dishonorable in many parts of the Arab world. Remember the Israeli lies about how Yahya Sinwar dressed in women's clothes and were trying to cross the border to Egypt? In reality he was out in the field with his men

Oh, please. If you think the majority of all Iranians are in favor of US-Israeli bombings of their home country, you're seriously smoking some potent propaganda.

Hyphenization is language and content-dependent. You need different rules for English and French text, for example. Moreover, it doesn't fit the "short paragraph style" most non-academic text is written in these days.

... Can everyone in the world ready our passwords or are they "protected" somehow?
282.
by bjourne 8mo ago
Nope. It is a problem if you reuse email addresses.
283.
by bjourne 8mo ago
... And how do you access the passwords that password manager manages?
284.
by bjourne 8mo ago
You'll still have your e-mail address exposed, which you may not want if it is to some random porn site. Moreover, password managers do not work if you use multiple devices for log in, which most people actually do.

I read the "hit piece". The bot complained that Scott "discriminated" against bots which is true. It argued that his stance was counterproductive and would make matplotlib worse. I have read way worse flames from flesh a

Isn't that the point? That the oversight of DOGE is so bad that the only way to get information about its operations is through online news? Banana republic level of state behavior.

Statistics! Can a person below the median income afford to retire early? The answer is a resounding no. Can a person the top 10th percentile (upper middle class) afford to retire early? Yes.

No. It is a blanket statement that is never true. A programming language has no inherent speed. Your appeal to authority argument is rejected.

by bjourne 8mo ago
No. I will continue my crusade against blanket statements about performance.

The billionaire class loves their crypto nazis--they won't let Musk fall from grace. Given the Epstein files, the Panama papers, and what we know about the elite networks, you'd have to be a sucker not to believe that the stock ma

Props for admitting jealousy and for being honest! I often feel the same way when fixing bugs in others code.

Most modern compilers for modern languages do an insane amount of inlining so the problem you're mentioning isn't a big issue. And, basically, GPUs and TPUs can't handle branches. CPUs can.

Isn't that like proofreading text in a language you're not familiar with?

And restaurant workers should be paid by their employers. If the goal is to spread happiness then, again, the homeless person trumps the employee.
