I’m a gen Zer (albeit on the older side) and I don’t feel this way about work. Probably depends what field you’re in, I quite like being a programmer.

For sure it’s very carefully moderated, dang works very hard to keep conversations civil and away from flaming, especially around politics. “Heavy” has some negative connotations though. I think the moderation is appropriate.

This is a misunderstanding of the case, as rayiner’s comment in that thread attests. That code was not the only code that was copied, there were also tens of thousands of lines of interface code that were the same. The case rested on whethe

Nuance and shading is not entirely unselfish. Too much nuance indicates a lack of trust in your reader.

I used my iPhone 12 as a 5G modem while working from home for a couple weeks after I moved last year before I had my gigabit RCN service setup. It was remarkably performant and stable. I could probably use it full time if it weren't fo

I think expecting that most laypeople connect the Huawei ban to 5G as a technology is really strange. The conspiracy theories about 5G all relate it to wealthy Westerners like Bill Gates, not meddling by China.

That’s begging the question, because behaviors can absolutely have chemical causes.

You should already be using continuous integration, so it should already be moot.

Thunderbolt 4 is a standard interface, and it supports DisplayPort 1.4 as well as 2.0.

No, it was left in an ambiguous position after the Bucharest Summit in 2008 as Germany and France opposed its membership. As of now it can’t join because of the territorial dispute in Crimea, which is probably one of the reasons Russia inva

Yeah except the difference is that loads of innocent people were being raped and murdered and ethnically cleansed in Kosovo whereas Russia made their reasons for this invasion quite clear Monday and it’s a desire to reconstitute the Russian

That’s one of the main tenets of the realist school of IR theory that Mearsheimer is a major proponent of. States act in their own rational self-interest.

I can’t tell if you’re being pedantic here or if you actually substantially disagree with the characterization that it is primarily about the security of Europe against Russian aggression.

NATO didn’t authorize the Iraq War.

In that case I’m not sure how that’s consistent with believing Putin is a rational actor.

Russia currently occupies the USSR’s seat on the UN Security Council and concerns about Russian aggression have persisted have persisted since the collapse of the Soviet Union. It’s not literally true that it’s a defense against the legal e

What responsibility is that? Should the US have vetoed the NATO membership of all the Warsaw Pact countries that wanted to join?

NATO is a defensive alliance against Russia. What the invasion of Ukraine has done is proved that the states that chose to join NATO in the decades since the end of the Cold War made the right decision.

I do wonder why they captured Chernobyl and are fighting their way to Kyiv as we speak, then.

You can blame the US all you want, at the end of the day they invaded Ukraine for no discernible reason (it's been nearly eight years since Crimea, with no moves towards NATO from Ukraine and no moves towards Ukraine from NATO) and it&

I respect the difference of opinion but it's hard not to think Mearsheimer has been proven wrong about Putin's motivations by this invasion. It's basically inconceivable that the full-scale invasion of Ukraine is really in Ru
