What is missing from here as a separate but interesting category is spreadsheet processors. I found two: sc-im and visidata under Text Processing, but I think these deserve a separate category to demonstrate to the range of utility of term

I think that instead of this trains bullshit we should instead make the lag in the air travel shorter and invest more into CO2 neutral aviation fuel and batteries.

Oh, they mean to never release on Fridays. I first thought that it is about shipping. I once bought something a little temperature sensitive and asked the seller to not ship on Friday so that the parcel has less time to be exposed to the te

It is completely relevant to the thread about Russia stealing Ukrainian "Rus" identity. This is not some European Americans dressing up like Native Americans "this is a cultural Appropriation" bullshit. This is the real

Thank you for pointing out that it was silver. But the gold and silver had more equal value at the time so direct comparison is not fair. In Roman times the silver was valued around 10 times less than gold but today it is around 100 times l

If anything then this personal attack is an example of poor quality. I'm far being upset. Maybe you are? My comments try to explain why Ukrainians believe that Russians have stolen the "Rus" identity (from them) only for them

Talent is told to be about 33 kg (or something between 20-40 kg). So indeed a talent of gold will be over $1 million today.

But it is clear that Polish pierogi ruskie can't be Russian dumplings because Russian dumplings are pelmeni that are dumplings with meat. But the origin of these dumplings is not Russian either, as the word comes from the Udmurt langua

Old name with a very specific meaning. The therm "Little Rus" was first used for Kyiv in sense of it being the center of Rus - Rus proper and "Greater Rus" meant the wider area of their influence. Russians (as we know th

And there is reason why they focus on "Ukrainian" (borderland etymologically btw) instead of "Russian" or even "Little Russian". The therm "Little Rus" was first used for Kyiv in sense of it being the

Actually no. "Rus" was meant to describe "all" East Slavic people, but Russians took it for themselves "only" and started to call Ukrainians "Little Russians" in sense of "Lesser Russians".

You then obviously don't know the history. One notable thing to mention is that Russia started as Principality of Moscow, a vassal state to Mongols, a collector of tribute for Mongols. Taking their own share from this tribute allowed t

I have read critique that the terms presented to Serbs were unreasonable. Maybe, maybe not, but let's keep in mind that Serbs had already committed genocide and kept aiming for it.

You completely miss the point. If we want to have better future then two values must become together - superior philosophy and superior weapons. It is clear that nothing good come out when only one is presented.

This is your imagination. I didn't say that. I didn't say anything about war. I said weapons save lives. We can see again and again and again that if you don't have weapons then the people who hate you will attempt to kill yo

So weapons should be the priority as weapons have again and again saved lives.

A relational programming language is an interesting concept and I have been thinking if somebody could come up with something. I'm not sure that it results in a good reusable code though. Any examples?

> Putting a string in a Vector{Int64} is simply not allowed. In Java the same applies. But Java is a weird beast. While every value has a type, not all types are equal - there are primitive types like int and double, that are value types

I am getting really bad vibes from this rant. It looks like some wannabee dictator who wants to define what is good/right and then force it upon others. It kind of correlates with the chosen name - Ansel Adams actively discriminated ag
