That really depends on how you look at it. By that argument, to Ukrainians, the Nazis were the liberators. The Soviets had starved millions of Ukrainians in the Holodomor, and many, including the infamous Stepan Bandera, erroneously saw the

It absolutely depends on the child. I phrased it too generally. I like the idea of Montessori a lot, but it depends a lot on executive skills: being able to plan, start project, finish projects, etc. My kids both sucked at that, and I'

These were randomised. It sounds like they eliminated this selection bias. Also, this is just about preschool. For regular school, I've grown more skeptical, because it didn't work well for either of my kids. They struggled with t

It's a bit harsh to demand that people are thankful for decades of oppression. Central and eastern Europe were caught between two monsters, but one of them lasted a lot longer. The main reason that the USSR's role in the start of

Want to see how often Microsoft accounts redirect you? I'd love to see Google block all of Microsoft, but of course that will never happen, because these tech giants are effectively a cartel looking out for each other. At least in comp

It would be glorious if everybody unjustly screwed by Google did that. Barring antitrust enforcement, this may be the only way to force them to behave.

Yes, the irony of Google warning for other sites as malware, is not lost on me.

"Now"? Were they still sharing as much as usual until now? Trump blabbing Israeli intelligence to Iran's biggest ally during his first term should have been a massive warning to everybody to be incredibly careful about what y

It's the exact opposite in Cypher. I'm currently working with some complex data in neo4j, and wondered why my perfectly fine looking queries were so slow, until I remembered to use DISTINCT. It's very easy to get duplicate no

There are multiple reasons for a different style, but U think a big one is that a syndicated cartoon is expected to have a recognisable style. We recognise many cartoonists by their unique style, despite many of them being far more versatil

Fascinating how much effort Amazon puts into screwing their customers. And impressive how people manage to circumvent that anyway. But I still think the better option is to never give any money to Amazon.

If I recall correctly, it ran into a number of problems, and they abandoned it when oxygen levels dropped too much. So I don't think this counts as having mastered it.

No country has a pure implementation of any ideology. Ideologies are directions you want to take society, and economic systems are always a balance. But the US is quite a bit more blatantly capitalist, with its lack of holidays, lack of wor

That sounds awesome. Can we get laptops with that thing? We should be getting rid of the power hungry x86 stuff.

A few weeks ago, I was testing the difference between two libraries to draw graphs: cytoscape and NVL. I started with NVL, told it to implement a very basic case: just some simple mock data, and draw the thing on the screen. (Those weren&#x

That's boilerplate stuff. That's what it's best at. But the moment I want something slightly off the beaten path (and I always do), it struggles and makes mistakes.

More often than not is not good enough for me. But worse than not following instructions, is simply being wrong, and then doubling down on it. This is something that happens to me a lot. When I ask it to do something moderately complex, or

I'm amazed this is so common. I don't think any of my household appliances require wifi access. Our PC, laptops, phones, tablets and printer do, of course. I do occasionally check which devices are connected to my wifi, and try to

I get it. You don't really know what social democracy is. So let me give you the briefest definition: social democracy tries to balance the best parts of socialism and capitalism, while trying to avoid the worst parts. Those worst part

That's true. But thanks to Trump's tariffs, much of the world is working to make itself less dependent on the US. There's talk that the Euro could become the new reserve currency. Maybe the Renmibi. It's quite possible t

Or maybe that's exactly what they learned from history. Maybe we should learn from some revolutionary history, then.
