For those who've never experienced one: Navigating ploughed fields was part of the design brief for the 2CV (note for Americans: it's pronounced "der shev-VOH", not "2 C. V.") The light weight was the biggest f

Well, this glides over a lot: > The wholly unreasonable decision by the German government in 1941 against Fraktur types hampered its completion. I had a glorious image of Hitler ranting at his aides about Jews conspiring to sneak their f

Hold on - you're cruel because _sociology_ told you to be? And at no point did you notice you were stanford-prisoning? And you're so invested in your identity that you're willing to degrade and humiliate another human being?

And you conflate your opinion with justification to dictate how others live. Your accusation of misogyny is disingenuous and offensive, and I won't have it. The fucking irony, after you had the brass neck to open with "protect wom

I am ambivalent. I see the value in what you're saying, and we owe so much to the ad-hoc accumulation of what we now call the gnu toolset. On the other hand, a system that has been designed coherently is much nicer to use.

The structural members in question were steel, not aluminium. The original costings were done assuming welded joints. It was a contractor who cavilled that expense, and the change to bolted joints was done without notice to the lead enginee

The team I described in GGGP were all strong in the roles they were originally hired for. The company likes to promote internally, which mostly works out for them. This shit team was an edge case.

Hi! Sorry to report this, but I've pushed a SQL injection vuln to prod when I was still very green. In my defense, we trusted the input. But that's post-rationalisation, because I simply didn't know what I was doing at the ti

It's for several console platforms but not, alas, PC. I'm also not a massive fan of busy saturated graphics. Good tip, though. I'm currently playing Invisible, Inc and loving it. It's more akin to XCom 2 in pace and scal

You act like that's settled fact. It's just your opinion. The opinion itself isn't the problem, it's when you want to hurt an out-group that it becomes a problem. Personally, I despise a bully, especially am adult one. O

You may be right. However, consider the directorial perspective. You have employees - you try to get and retain the best talent you can. However, every human has strengths and weaknesses, and these may not all be fully visible to you. Rolli

Space-based weapons should make you uneasy about America's home-soil impunity. This increases when rival powers gain heavy-lift capability. If you can lift a few tons into orbit, you can drop rocks on targets. Not sure if there's

Wait, what? I read through that entire discussion. I do agree that the quote you pulled out was not ideal, but that's the only thing in there that's even remotely abrasive. Skyline in particular took great pains to provide context

I didn't mean to describe python as "legacy"; it is a great choice for scripting in the year 2023. It's second only to pwsh for that. I use pwsh on Linux every day. Anything that isn't a lisp machine is a legacy OS

It blows my mind how big a deal argument parsing is in legacy scripting languages (including python). That snippet is concise, but relies on the user supplying arguments in the order you demand. AFAICS, non-trivial scripts require you to lo

The late 17th was an exciting time in England, and far more complex than I could describe, no matter how long my comment. The Tory party was not formed in a single day, not was every Tory born on a single day. There was continuity of actors

Although you do have a point, the freighted language isn't fair. Big white-collar crime is a different, and much more resource-intensive, set of challenges to investigate and prosecute. As such, it is not a constabulary remit - it need

Yeah bollocks. Guy Fawkes was attempting to reinstate a monarchy that the people roundly, and almost universally, despised. The Jacobins were, exclusively, Catholic landed gentry. Lopping off Chuckie's head set the stage for Britain&#x

While the bill is appalling, don't downplay the issue. Voluntary euthanasia is a total strawman. "kys" is widely-understood netspeak nowadays. It means "kill yourself". Children are cruel. Mostly because they are me

I don't think you read TFA, which anyway had a misleading title. He would not be charged for his prison costs. It appears to be a factor in determining compensation. It looks to me like they are basing it on how much he would have earn
