Ooh, let's play this game. Which date format was used to launch the first sattelite and human into space? What date format is used on the ISS and in the Hubble Telescope?

Firstly this logic doesn't hold water. Month is not the most important, day of month is. "What date did you mean?" can easily be answered with "the 25th" if it's a nearby date, month only becomes relevant if di

I don't know the exact number but almost all of China's oil is imported, and almost all of that comes through Sea. That is not something Russia can fix on a short timeline. It's one reason why Pacific naval power remains an i

I find this a weird take. In my country we're always amazed that there are places in most largish US cities where it simply isn't safe to be if you aren't a native, and lethal violence is a daily occurence.

That export sounds like a suspicious claim, do you have sources? afaik DE, FR and NL are much bigger exporters, and a random Google result seems to back that, placing Italy 5th in EU absolutely and almost last by GDP [1] [2] [1] https:&#x2

The analogy is even more apt when you think that most of the things Apple and Microsoft became big with in the 90's - like mouses and GUIs - were invented as Xerox but they failed to monetize, just like the basis for GTP came from Goog

The problem is it just means money == political power, which purportedly democracies try to not have.

You could add a schema_version column and use one constraint per schema version. It will only be per major version, if the schema is backwards compatible there's no problem.

It's the main reason beef and lamb are so much worse in terms of CO2-equivalent than pork or chicken, and cheese isn't good either.

In the latest LTS those all can still be enabled, so while it is a serious problem when they are finally removed, for now it's not really a good reason to block an upgrade.

I unfortunately encounter this mindset so much in Java programmers, and the similar "we don't need no feature X" even if the feature has proven themselves for a long time in a large amount of languages. I'm hesitant to b

That's the rule for normal features, that would mean there is no meaningful difference between stable and experimental parts of an API.

2 is not different for Option(al)/Maybe. 1 is simply not true in Kotlin: value?.let is both map and flatmap for value with nullable type. Which one depending on whether you return a nullable type inside the let (flatmap) or not (map).

Say the 1% 10y $100 bond is now worth $80 and there are now 5% bonds available. Say the monkey NFT is down from $100 to $80. The monkey NFT could be sold and 5% bonds could be bought, which will also pay out >$100 eventually.

It's beneficial for someone who is shorting a stock to put out negative press about the company. It's basically the modus operandi of some hedge funds. I also don't get the gotcha though. As long as it's disclosed and th

I fail to see the difference, note that the title mentions "depegs". If they buy 1 USDC at $0.9 with their reserves, they can remove the USDC, and keep $0.1 since they'll need $1 less reserve. How is this fundamentally differ

That's the whole point of a peg. If your thing goes below the pegged value, use your other assets to buy until your thing reaches pegged value (and vice versa). That's what "backed" means.

Anything that you have to do "extra" compared to managing the hardware yourself. E.g. this article is missing even basic stuff like the (prorated) salary costs of employees buying, installing and servicing the hardware.

That's only a good idea if the veteran actively prevents the situation from getting better, e.g. by being possesive and contrarian, trives on being the hero etc. This does tend to happen a lot in these situations. The team will also ne

This seems completely irrelevant. Photo cameras don't instristically rely on painters having existed and continuing to exist to do their thing.
