Or that, but I thought that advertising the products of a competitor with dubious ethical standards would be poor form.

Interesting article overall, but the counter-point is not that strong IMO. I don’t think that those which are arguing that NATO over-extended and that they’re not innocent bystanders harbour the illusion that failing such expansion Russia w

They’re charging 150+€ for each of these as VST… giving them away doesn’t seem like a sound business decision.

For those that prefer something with buttons, Roland has issued desktop module versions of some of their iconic machines under the name Roland Boutique. The equivalents of the devices they have in this online tool would be the SH-01a, TB-03

Why do you think nazis are so despised, because they write nasty things on twitter? Arming literal nazis with weapons and letting them loose in a lawless context is a criminally stupid thing to do. These guys have no problem harming civilia

C++ and Rust are very deep multi-paradigm languages, with many features that try to cover a lot of domains - that’s why they are complicated. Sure, C++ has the decades of backwards compatibility and weaker memory safety, but in the end it’s

by blub 5y ago
The keyword is overall. One wouldn’t typically pick a programming language purely based on how well it handles references. Generally Rust does memory safety better than C++, that’s painfully clear as soon as one uses the language and compar

Frankly I’d find it much more acceptable to label so-called sources of misinformation and link to the evidence of their past transgressions. This is the only measure which is respectful of the kind of free exchange of ideas typical of a dem

This reads like praising by faint criticism. The number one problem Rust has now is that it’s overall not significantly better than C++ and sometimes the reverse is true. I’ve learned for example quite a good chunk of Rust, implemented a pr

I believe this kind of policy of masking preschoolers is unique to the US. At least I’ve never heard such a thing in reporting about Europe. For example in Germany caregivers don’t wear masks when interacting with children either because it

Yes, so what if it is? Like I said the EU is not at war with anyone, so there’s no need for drastic measures which go against the principles of the union. If you haven’t noticed, the EU considers press freedom quite important, at least if o

Well, they probably can’t nuke Western Europe with impunity. But it’s not clear what NATO membership’s really worth for Eastern Europe. I’m from EE and I don’t understand why the US or the UK would risk their countries or even WE getting n

What you’re seeing here is a place which is not 100% anti-Russia and recognizes that there are gray areas to anything. This is invaluable and anyone who values liberal democracies should support such discussion forums. The problem is, many

A starving man will eat anything, even an Electron app. Windows and Mac users aren’t starved though and won’t quietly accept being fed junk apps.

You’re for annihilating the economy of a nuclear power with thousands of warheads? How do you imagine that a nuclear failed state looks and acts like? I swear, reading comments like these on social media makes me realize that a disturbingly

This has to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve read online. When it comes to war, countries like Russia or the US do whatever they want whenever they want, no matter how the population feels about it.

I'm surprised that this is now possible with .NET. It's amazing what Microsoft can achieve in 20 years if they put their hearts and souls into it.

Software developers are not completely subservient slaves. But some of them are certainly obnoxious prima donnas and like throwing tantrums about their oh so terrible working conditions.

I get the sprit of what you’re saying, but it makes an immense difference whether a country is democratic for 5 years or 50. It takes decades for the democracy to diffuse into society, institutions, education, etc.

Ukraine’s in no way shape or form a liberal democracy. It will take them decades to become one, assuming they can ever escape the Russian sphere of influence.

Working from the office is the default; you likely have this in your contract (I do) and you did that most of your life. Now if your life in the office was reduced to being parked in a cubicle, then no wonder you hate it, but don't pro

A hybrid environment doesn't work if just a couple of people from a team or department go to the office and the rest are permanently working from home. You lose most of the advantages and still have to pay for office space, etc. That&#

Friends and a social circle are complementary to professional socialisation. And no, going to meet-ups and conferences isn't a replacement either. It's very nice to be able to discuss with colleagues impromptu about new projects,

It's reasonable to ask to be able to work from home, but it's equally reasonable for the company to refuse the request. Going to a physical location to work is how things were done and continue to be done for most people on the pl
