Are you serious? This is like looking at a F1 car and going "oh yeah, that's super cheap. Go carts only cost a couple thousand dollars". DoD says that the payload of the balloon is as long as three buses lined up end to end.

Because German society is very different from American society due to historical factors. The modern German state and people must grapple with their country's role in WW2 and the Holocaust. They have chosen to limit free speech for the

My experience with pointers was the inverse of yours. My first programming language was Java, and I spent many hours puzzling out reference types (and how they differed from primitive types). I only managed to understand references after so

I see a lot of debate over what "meta" means, and I'd like to throw my own hat in the ring. I would argue that a playing a game at the base level (i.e. playing without meta) consists of (a) finding different strategies to use
