So "CoC committee" recommends refusing pull requests because their author was rude when arguing technical issue with someone who appears to be incompetent? Am I getting this right?

This is strange because C99 has stdint.h so we don't need to use "short/long/long long/long long long" nonsense anymore.

What do you use for energy storage and how much can you store? When we were considering solar panel solution for our small apartment complex that was the major cost and the reason we decided against a few years ago.

Well ads have informational value. They are very reliable source of what a candidate or a party wants to convey. They are a way to be heard. I don't know any place where journalism is unbiased. Not saying it doesn't exist, maybe i

Man, we have stats on that. Drivers cause majority of accidents. They cause almost 100% of fatal ones where the innocent party dies/get hurt. It can't really be clearer. >>Everyone who drives around cyclists sees how badly m

How are you going to learn about the people running then? Rely on what they say? You need some mechanism so others can criticize them and be heard.

There is diminishing returns once you have enough money to spread your message. The problems arise when you don't have a way to spread it at all. It's not always a better funded who wins anyway. The last US election are the prime

Well, it's true that political parties/candidates don't tell the truth about themselves but they often point true things about their political opponents. I think it's better if someone is allowed to pay for an ad pointin

As someone who has run a small business in an EU country for 10 years and is in a process of relocating to a low tax jurisdiction I wonder what EU's endgame on this one is. It's not like EU countries offer a potential founders any

Poland is not terrible. You can do most bureaucracy online. Things that require you to visit a government office can be usually done in a day and there is not much waiting. Taxes are lower than Western Europe still (although pressure mounts

Poland still has tax friendly system towards self employed people. Usual deal you get is 19% tax (recently raised to 23.5%) so you avoid double taxation as a company (where you first pay corporate tax and then income tax or capital gain tax

Yeah, some do. They are not going to kill anyone though unlike drivers. We know where the problems is: cars and drivers. Focus on that instead of derailing the discussion. There are lives and health of people on the line.

I don't agree. Some of the safest places to cycle have about 0 infrastructure. What matters are driving culture, speed limits (and enforcement of those) as well as lesser numbers of "modern" cars on roads (cause those have ba

When you speed, use your phone when driving or ignore basic safety rules then you can't really say you don't want to hit someone or injure someone. I mean you can say that but it's as believable as shooting your rifle without

I simplified it a bit however this: >>that gets awarded entirely to the candidate with the majority vote in that village is not correct. It's up to the states to decide how they split their electoral votes. It seems natural to me

The important strategic part of Intel is the foundry business. You can spin it off. It will keep making CPUs designed by multiple other competent US companies. You can let the rest fail.

Another thing is that you need to click around the chat area just before the break ends (and you need to monitor when the break ends on that 3rd party site) so the chess.com server won't throw you out of the tournament for inactivity :
