Well, those busts tend to be of marble and they are not easily broken. I was afraid they might be little terra-cotta sculptures, and that can really shatter.

The only problem with that book is the title. It is just great, helpful, clear, enlightening… You name it. Seconded. Get over the title asap and read it.

Your years are of “professional experience”, not of “learning complicated things in a bunch”. It is vastly different. And, well, it is te students who are missing the opportunity…

That is a decision taken by Linus. It might have been different but life is choice. This one has been made while Linus is the boss.

Linus is not a “collaborator”. Sometimes you need to stress the difference betwen “my opinion” (as in “Kernel development requires greater safety standards”) and “facts” (“safety does not exist in software because it does not control the ha

I am probably wrong but I understood that “safety meaning panic” is noeither “safe” not allowed in the Linux kernel because the kernel must not panic when an error arises.

If there are margin calls for pension funds, the managers are doing things with other people’s money which these people do jot understand and would probably not consent to.

Not at all, but imagine having to perform 10.000 multiplications on numbers of 10.000 digits just to encrypt "This is my password". And that, differently, for each access (write and read) to each cell in the table. Not what you wo

Wow, removing the personal allowance is bonkers and totally against the principle of equality. But, of course, “the rich”…

I invite you to come to probably half of secondary schools in Spain, to verify.

It is indeed frustratingly oversimplified and abstruse, in my view. Space “expanding”: imagine a 10cm ruler (with markings) such that the markings “compress”. Now you have the same ruler but “longer”. That is what is meant by space “expandi

Mmmh… Sunday is religiously the first day of the week (the Lord rises on “the first day of the week…” (John)). It has become the “last day” only because people rest after their jobs (i.e. at the end of the “week”). But conceptually, it is s

You’re right but what then was the USSR and now is Russia et al. has so huge borders and neighbors foreign to th Europe concept that thinking that (and knowing who ruled it) was worse than wishful thinking.

So sad. Just because… “fitness is not health, you know? there is no informed consent nor a doctor here”.

Wow, the jerking also? That is enough for a recall, or should be! If you are in the EU, have you spoken to the consumer ombudsman (or whatever name it has)?

That is the technical definition.

What does “conversation “ mean in that text. I can perfectly mean just the audio exchanges when both parties talk. Also: E2E does not imply necessarily that they do not know the key.

Either you can create value (which seems reasonable as long as we receive free energy from the sun) in time or not. If you can, the natural interest rate cannot be zero. We are at the moment in time when we can make the most out of “thin ai

Evidence of what ? Has Carlssen explicitly said "This guy has cheated?" He has only said "I cannot speak because I would be in such a big trouble that I am not willing to do so". It is not so trivial as "prove it&q

The "if I talk I am in big problem" video is exactly the most he can say without forcing him to go to an unwinnable (because the burden of the proof is on him and it is practically impossible) trial. What can he do if he is comple

Just revise your tax payments and social security. In Spain: 33% goes (more or less) to SS and then 25% to income tax. I’d say at least ask for 1.5 times what you get minthly in the bank.

However, if the symbolic package knows that cos(a+b) == cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b) then it works. Something must be known in advance about the relationship between sin and cos for addition, otherwise you cannot go from one to the other (

That is not a “proof” in the statement of Gödel’s theorem. A proof (there) is just a finite number of symbols which happens to have a specifix form (A=>B AND A), where A and B are sentences, which are finite sequences of symbols having a
