The case of the two policewomen which ran away from a shooting and left their male colleagues to fend for themselves caused quite a stir in Germany. During the trial they said they were deadly afraid and didn’t see how many shooters there w

There is no counter-example of thriving democracies developed after western regime change projects. On the other hand, there’s Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.

I don’t know. Probably the posterity :) Given political support (with the exception of Lasconi) for the annulment, I expect that nothing will happen in the near future.

Based on my reading of many controversial threads around elections, politics and the Russo-Ukrainian war, the entire internet, including HN is infiltrated either by Russian agents or their useful idiots. The more likely reality which is con

Yes, the CCR can probably get away with what they’ve done, but when we’ve finished processing this there’s good chances that the decision will be proven to have been made outside of the court’s strict mandate. And even if they have a good e

Regarding Article 52, paragraph one, there is no proof of fraud. In fact, if I’m not mistaken a vote recount was done and the court accepted the results as valid. There is an allegation of foreign influence which has not been proven in a co

Do you have a reliable source for those facts? Because there’s a lot of newspaper articles and allegedly some report from the Romanian spooks and I wouldn’t call any of those facts. If they have a trial and if they prove corruption then tha

People were hysterical about Meloni before the elections and then nothing actually happened. This could be yet another case of the EUSA establishment crying wolf.

Rust is a continuous additional investment of time which will need to happen when writing the code, changing the code, doing the massive refactorings you mention and last but not least when reading the code. There are benefits to that inv

I struggle to think of a way of keeping an entire house or apartment warm without power. Is there an actual solution recommended by the respective governments for this or was the problem reformulated into keeping one or more persons warm in

Nope, still using C++17 and not bothered by any slowdown. C++ has been moving too fast lately.

We’re just in the middle of the propaganda maelstrom. If you pay attention to what the odd article from the big newspapers is saying and what politicians (or especially ex-politicians) are saying you’ll get a more accurate picture. Merkel h

It would help if you got your basic facts straight on Georgia, but to be fair this topic has been thoroughly retconned: the EU fact-finding mission reported that Georgia attacked Abkhazia and South Ossetia. They also found that the action t

Who’s “we”? The C++ developers that like the “Safe C++” proposal which is tacking Rust on top of C++ are a tiny minority. It seems very fair to tell them to just use Rust and leave C++ alone.

If it were critical, it would have already happened. But Germany and the EU know deep inside that this isn’t about ideology and conquest and Ukraine is a pretty unique case. On the other hand with Germany and the EU acting so tough, Russia

Besides the short-sighted beancounter China outsourcing, Germany had a healthy industry. That’s notably shrinking with no clear path to recovery.

Is this still a career path worth investing in? It seemed super hot a couple of years ago and then people stopped talking about it. Saw many comments complaining about lack of jobs.

These long-range missiles are a short-time tactic designed to merely hurt the Russians or prevent them from doing certain actions under threat of pain and not a real strategy. Ukraine hasn’t had any battlefield successes since the Kursk Hai

The Budapest Memorandum was a way to force a potential* nuclear player and/or nuclear wildcard out of the game. When you see it for what it is, giving Ukraine nuclear weapons is the last thing anyone (except internet posters) wants. *

Likely response is bombing whatever is left of Ukrainian power generation and potentially arming the Houthis. The analysis I’ve seen indicates that these weapons will not fundamentally alter the course of the war. Kursk was a gamble to imp

What did the Rust community expect to happen if they so strongly and often claimed that Rust is easy to learn and user-friendly? And how did we get from that to “for some people, some languages may never fully agree with their preferred sty

This only makes sense if one wants to write a Phd on C++ UB and needs the exhaustive list. For the rest of us, there’s cppreference, UBsan and quite a few books on writing correct C++ code. Of course, these will still not suffice to write 1

I think you’re missing the author’s point, but OTOH he undermined it himself by stating that learning the rules helps: because Rust requires that the ownership and relationships are encoded in the type system, it requires significant design

I don’t think about this at all in terms of numbers. Home office nudges towards isolation and lack of physical activity, while the office nudges towards interaction, moving at least a little bit and face to face interactions. No matter the
