Recession is probably a bit meaningless at this point. The Russian economy is already quite small in relation to the country size and population. They have plenty of natural resources though, and oil which they are exporting. In many ways i

It takes about 10 years to train a human to do anything useful after creation.

There's a great deal of space between effectively human and god machine. Effectively human meaning it takes 20 years to train it and then it's good at one thing and ok at some other things, if you're lucky. We expect more fro

I would argue that you are not a general intelligence. Humans have quite a specific intelligence. It might be the broadest, most general, among animal species, but it is not general. That manifests in that we each need to spend a significan

I personally use both, and I'm not sure I find the argument about needing to step through convincing. I put the debugger breakpoint at the same place I might put a print. I hardly ever step through, but I do often continue to reach thi

I just tried it on my machine and it doesn't lag. There is an animation, and I'm not fond of those as they make interactions slower (I speed them up to max where possible). However, in that gif there's a clear lag before the

I still don't understand about the t-shirt thing. Companies spend their money on all kinds of things that are apart from their core offering. Like lavish office buildings, on-sites, big paychecks for executives, charity donations. I do

Still needs a VM. It'll be running more VMs than something like orbstack, which I believe runs just one for the docker implementation. Whether that means better or worse performance we'll find out.

why do you care about these things exactly? Please explain a bit more. You like the service but don't agree with the company spending money on... t-shirts? That's not exactly like "I like the company products but I don't

They banned the Brave user agent I use, for a transgression from many years ago and hasn't reoccurred, and has nothing to do with the way I use that browser. That's their choice of course, but not one I respect - different if it w

I don't think that was the plan at any point. That's just what happened. The politicians in the west wanted things to go back to how they were before the war and never wanted to give enough aid to jeopardize that. Though that has

I don't see it. Russia is spent on their war with Ukraine. Whatever ambitions they had beyond that, those are fantastical now. I'm sure plenty of nations are studying the war there and seeing that it is expensive and difficult. An

There are quite a few remote work opportunities around with US and AU companies. It might not be what you're looking for, but it seems to work pretty well with an NZ lifestyle.

Why not use something else then? I wrote my own router, when I outgrew that I wrote an extension to react router to do the extra thing I needed. Complaining about stuff never gets you far with software written by others.

Thing is, snarky often gets the votes. So the unofficial guideline is the opposite of the official one.

Just a clarification: in NZ most soft plastics are sent to landfill, regardless of what happens to most of the plastic that is actually recycled. We're pretty bad for general recycling and really bad for plastic recycling. Most soft pl

Clear responsibilities between the teams can help. Then you don't need to blame, the blame is in the process. "I'll be blocked on X until Y is implemented, but I can work on Z" rather than "They didn't implemen

No, it was longer and wasn't concentrated on red dwarf. It started on the casting for Sherlock.

They did it with models. They then rereleased some of the earlier shows with CGI, demonstrating how much better it was with models.

Eye of the beholder. I personally think Red Dwarf series 1 to 6 was great. It even charts a course of British TV decline. Series 1 and 2, low budget sitcom, class warfare and the loneliness of space. Series 3, more budget, more sci-fi, but

They couldn't start the legal battle without doing this. They needed to get solid legal standing. So yes, they planned it, but they couldn't easily challenge Apple without getting the rejection. Your suggestion is that they sit on
