The FSF looks even more like a sect if you do mental gymnastics like that for your former guru. RMS publicly defended child rape. Someone like that should not get to define what freedom means. RMS has all the right not to get attacked about

Implicit casts can be a bit dangerous in C#, but the bigger problem is that you cannot generically use operators like you can with type classes in Haskell.

Those fears have been discussed endlessly. Just look at the graph I posted to see the change in the last years that is still continuing. Availability has nothing to do with what you are talking about (it’s much higher for photovoltaics anyw

Your opponents of course seem ignorant if you turn them into straw-men. There are legitimate concerns against nuclear: Lack of a proper handling of nuclear waste, which is pretty much impossible given the timeframe. Weakness to improper han

The question needs to be asked how new power plants that have to cope with much higher building costs can be more cost-efficient than already existing ones. It’s not like that nuclear has any cost-cutting progress like wind and photovoltaic

I would call it unwise, but there has been no disaster. Electricity production through fossil fuels went down, renewables reached 50% last year while Germany still has one of the most stable electricity network worldwide: https:/&#x2F

You can have both: write your code in a way that you pass it’s configuration. This makes code more testable and reusable. Now in the outmost layer where you start your program you get the environmental variables and pass them.

In theory you should deeply know how the frameworks that qualify for your project. You need to know it to make a good decision wether to take it or not. You need to know it deeply if you use it, because frameworks usually offer relatively l

I am a pretty strong car-hater my self and I can only speak for myself, but I think that nobody wants to ban cars everywhere. There are lots of places though that would be much better with no or minimal cars.

Cooperatives (at least here in Germany) often have a maximum amount of shares that you can own and are open for people to get new shares.

There’s always going to be something that is hard or unreachable by public transport. The key here is multi-modality: you reach the edge of the city by public transport and then switch to car sharing.

A lot of grammar is not arbitrary but just has a very rich history that is not apparent and sometimes not even traceable anymore. Schlüssel basically is a combination of schließen (close) and the ending -el. Here this is the third meaning

I have the feeling it also happened the other way around as well. When Gnome 3 came out the big buttons and huge whitespace seemed ridiculous, especially with Big Sur MacOS looks very similar.

Those were stockpiled for the EU. Meanwhile also the US has a stockpile of AstraZeneca vaccines, but none were exported.

I just took the first study I could find. You seem to claim that it’s conclusions are wrong and that young people are less affected of COVID than influenza. Do you have good studies to back this up?

No matter the reasons for his way of thinking, but maybe we shouldn’t have a person whose definition of freedom includes raping children on the board of a organization that promotes software freedom.

If you have real unit tests then refactoring code also means refactoring unit tests, as they just test small units like functions in isolation. When refactoring you will need to replace units or delete them to be able to change units that a

That's the point where you need refactoring. The basic problem is that you cannot look into the future and clearly see what exactly you are going to need (if you are lucky enough to implement something along a specification, you should

That is just one factor though in which COVID-19 is worse than the seasonal influenza though. COVID-19 has a basic reproduction number of 3.3 – 5.7, while the seasonal influenza has one of 0.9 – 2.1 [1], which means that it spreads far more

Healthcare is around 10% of GDP (bar some countries that have organized their healthcare system inefficiently like my native Germany). That still leaves you with $10.800. A liability insurance costs here around 50–100€ per year for a family

That’s what (mandatory) insurances are for. Not insuring against events you cannot deal with alone is gambling.
