man (humans) is not an animal. the society of man has always changed and evolved. it's actually in the nature of man to change and adapt. the question should therefore be: why should you imagine that men have not changed their characte

seems they haven't read george bernhard shaw or at least heard his famous quote on the subject. he was a contemporary too.

but then amazon would not tell her that she should find the code in whatsapp, because amazon would still be sending send an sms. it should not have any awareness of whatsapp hijacking the sms function, and therefore the amazon message shoul

can you elaborate please? how do the methods differ? do you have some links to explain that?

that number does not feel right. global statistics show only very few countries with a homeownership of less than 50%, two of which are germany and switzerland. and there it's not because they can't afford it but because the citie

the Multi-Account Containers extension always only added additional UI functions to manage containers. it was never a different container implementation. so they are migrating UI features from the extensions back into the core. "Not al

interesting. i was not aware of that feature. this will be very useful.

as far as i remember, the low level container functionality was always in the core browser. what the extension adds is the UI to manage containers. with this change it appears the UI is merged back into the core browser.

by em-bee 3mo ago
the benefit of containers is that they are all in the same browser. all your settings, extensions, remembered passwords, etc. apply to all containers and you can more easily reopen a site in a different container. i don't get the login

There should be social housing in every ZIP code exactly. it has been shown elsewhere that one problem that makes it difficult for people to escape poverty is that everyone around them is poor too. as long as you live there there is an in

by em-bee 3mo ago
housing should be an investment the same way that planting trees is an investment. it should not be a financial tool to make you money by selling it.

we can separate technology from ethics, but should we? and if yes, how do we do it? the problem is not that we couldn't, but that the debate around this seems to be polarized. either the separation is 100% or there is no separation at

that's an interesting point, but the problem in my opinion is not the medium but the people that gravitate to one or the other and the culture they bring along. i am annoyed by a bump posts in forums just as much, on the other hand, so

it's surprising that there is still an issue with mailing list and forum split. that's am issue we already had 30 years ago. and i thought by now it's a solved problem. google groups solved it for example. is there no FOSS pl

good points that i wasn't aware of, thank you. though personally i rarely start huge operations that need to be parallelized so i prefer simplicity over speed.

you are right, i forgot to check the default. fixed my comment.

the example as given does not accumulate, so that is what i worked with. find -exec command '{}' '+' accumulates file arguments too. the only advantage of xargs is that you can tell it how many arguments to acc

why would you ever pipe find into xargs instead of calling -exec? find -exec the '{}' iterated command ';'

i'd like to add, there are many things that can be criticized on C++ or java. but language stability is not one of them. in fact i believe language stability is one of the things that keeps both languages an ongoing success.

Why are we so obsessed with updating dependencies, and at the same time, not willing to put in the work to update our own code? because i want to benefit from the improvements/bug fixes in the dependencies, whereas updating my own co

that's the conclusion i came up with after learning common lisp. it didn't feel much different from what i had learned before.

that's the book i learned with. it got me far enough that i was able to write two applications that i ended up using for several years.

what is your point? as far as i can tell the pictures only show the reality. they don't explain why. the interpretation is up to the reader. my personal experience suggests that cost of living vs living standards is pretty uniform glob

pike has that. or had it. for two decades. inline in the code, in each file you could specify the version. they decided to drop it because of the maintenance overhead.

to stress that analogy even further, i don't want to drive, i don't even have a drivers license. i rather arrange my life in such a way that i don't ever need to get to another town if driving is the only way to get there. tr

different preferences i guess. i much prefer language stability. the idea that i should have to test my code with every python version out there for example is disturbing, but there are tools to do exactly that. they should not be needed.

fair enough, but that's a different argument. and when it comes to a mortgage your alternative option is renting, and the worst case scenario that you can't pay rent or your mortgage is the same. it's not like a car where you
