That's an interesting thought! The problem is that the "attacked" country could just seize the homes for themselves in a moment - you end up just giving an enormous fortune to your enemy. The only way it would work does would

Some need a house to live in, others want estate to invest in. I say we should prioritize housing: it is a basic necessity with few alternatives, if any. If you want to invest your money, (1) it means you already have money so you aren&#x27

Maybe the fantasy is better than the reality, as it often is. Dreaming of going to space makes some people happy and they won't let it go. Doesn't mean it's a good idea! But sometimes it's productive to have an unreachab

That's very dismissive. I don't agree that doing more of the same is good because it worked out before, even if the current goal is harder by many orders of magnitude. Criticism is good! Let the best ideas prevail.

Windows, docker and WSL are my favorite combo. Windows is a user friendly platform, WSL brings a good CLI, docker is a great way to distribute software. So I guess the uptick in Linux has been due to containers and WSL. In my circle, still

This sounds like the linked post: some people build the game engine, others build the game. I think what happens is that people use a tool and they find a flaw, and they come up with an idea which will not have it. They build it, great! But

According to the Cambridge dictionary, propaganda is: > information, ideas, opinions, or images, often only giving one part of an argument, that are broadcast, published, or in some other way spread with the intention of influencing peop

That's a very charitable interpretation. Another, which I find more likely when there's lots of money involved, is that there was deception to feed the hype machine which caused profits of millions.

Advertising is propaganda. Some frame it as informational, but advertisers don't just announce items with their kits of pros and cons. They make a story which manipulates your feelings into buying their stuff.

The technology isn't really important, but its what makes this possible. Without it, no one would do the alternative of employing dozens of people to look at faces and search them in record books of people they want to ban. I'm al

Lots of scientific research is done this way - you don't know if an approach works, but you try it and document it. If it does, others can follow up, if it doesn't, it's a hint to take another path.

Interesting, I assumed all high performance packages for science and math either used c or c++! Is there a reason to use Fortran instead?

It is lacking, but I haven't found practical ways to review it. I tried the github extension in VS code but the experience was even worse for me. Could you share details about how do you do it? I'm very interested!

Not an expert, but took my masters in data science some years ago: My interpretation is the sinusoidal converts the values from 0..N to 0..1. This may result in more predictable changes than using large integer numbers, such that the same w

Funny, it sounds more like an advertising than a regular comment. Perhaps affected by the word "praise".

Human artists cannot produce thousands of works in a few hours. This arguments come up in every thread, and I'm baffled that people don't think the scale matters. You may also be observed in public areas by police, but it would be

I wholeheartedly agree! With this, you can also push people towards smaller PRs which are easier to review and integrate. The downside is that if you és o work on feature 2 based on feature 1,either you wait for the PR to be merged in main
