I dont' know what the hell he means with this Eurocentric view. We know a lot about ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, we know about Göbekli Tepe that is from Neolithic period, we know also about many African and Asian civili

You are completely wrong about this. I don't consume them almost at all. This does not mean that I accept to be interrupted. I don't want the Internet to become TV 2.0. Being able to define my own flow has been the main defining f

Normal ads are fine for me, but it is about forced to watch video ads. I don't like to be interrupted in Internet, it's not a bloody TV.

Ads didn't bother me until they started to force me to watch annoying video ads that interrupt my flow. Internet is not a bloody television, I don't like to be interrupted, it is incredibly irritating. What made the matter worse,

To summarize. This is a new possible feature for the upcoming release. No, you don't have only full backups with Postgres right now - it is possible to perform incremental backups using Write Ahead Log (WAL), but with WAL you have to r

If we compare US to Germany that has 1000s of km without any speed restrictions then it has roughly 2 times less deaths. Even France, where people drive like they have a death wish has 1/3 less deaths. It is even slightly higher than B

I think you are very seriously downplaying the extra effort family care takers actually are making. For sure it is not comparable to the historical levels but it still exits. I get your point, but your comment is equally damaging.

How much do you cook for yourself instead of eating out when you live alone? Now multiply it by 4 and ask if you still want to do it. Doing laundry takes also 4x more time and children make a lot of mess. But we are discussing about histori

I think that the main (human) error is to assign the same level of importance to very different computer systems and their deficiencies and defects. In some industries, like aviation (at least in EU) it appears to be more understood, but in

Of course not all Russians share this sentiment. There are people, of whom many have by now emigrated, who are against Russian government genocidal actions and there is large part of people who are either ignorant or indifferent.

You can learn Chinese, but it is good to keep in mind that being fluent in German didn't save Jews for example. It might be smarter to be smarter.

There is a funny thing about occupation in the eyes of the international law. For example Armenians have always lived in Nagorno-Karabakh, this is their ancestors land, but according to the international law they were occupying the territor
