Russia can obviously lose this war. Larger militaries lose their offensive wars not every time, but all the time. It's difficult to remember a more just war after WW2 than what Ukraine is waging against the aggressor Russia. Ukraine ne

Don't teach your kids programming. Answer their questions when they have them, stop them when they're doing something obviously stupid (like too many hours on the computer, staying up too late, punching/yelling at the compute

I braved out and got the latest x1 carbon, and I've been rather happy. Battery life with latest kernels is quite ok (although obviously not macbook level) and nearly everything seems to work quite nicely. Only weird part is the slow th

Yes, python has strong typing and in that sense passes this bar. It's a fine choice for many things, and if you enforce certain things in CI, it can be a good choice for many more.

On the other side where this question is not asked we have things like > "1" + 2 3 And it's utter madness that everyone does anything important with languages like that.

The worst of both worlds is colleagues who insert type annotations but they're wrong. And there's no CI pipe to verify the types before check-in. Working with these things makes me often think that people who want to write high qu

Don't blame the tool for your shoddy work. Either accept your mediocre quality or do something to fix it.

Typically it's amazingly great evidence for the high quality of a mail service that certain governments hate them.

Bit of a Game of Thrones situation when going against tyrants: you win or you die (in some sense).

I was on your level 10 years ago. It has become obvious recently that humanity cannot handle it. Now, I need very good evidence that it's a good idea before I support the kind of free speech that destroys civilized society from within.

What are Fitgirl repacks? Looks like straight up piracy, but I'm guessing you could not advertise them on Github if they were.

>Musk has believed that Tesla is on the verge of solving self-driving technology for the last few years It's nowhere even close to solving it, and it's also no longer even the best at trying. Elon Musk is a pathological liar.

The reason is known already: diagnosis got better. I'd welcome more knowledge if the endeavour wouldn't be by a known charlatan.

Nfc card payments have a pretty low max limit at least without a pin. Phone nfc payments do not.

Looks amazing. I had to deal with time handling in my very first programming job 25 years ago, and lousy handling has been a pet peeve of mine ever since.

Once I was in a team that had built for themselves a bubble of happiness, because the CTO / second founder of the company was a toxic scumbag. At the time I thought it was the best team ever but the bubble was cracked in a very ugly wa

The whole things seems like such a massive living system that I cannot help guessing that what we think of as universe is just a somewhat large single creature.
