Same exact process in Italy, except we also use ballot tagging to fight organized crime. For all the problems we have, trusting the results of an election isn't one...

Yeah, the article isn't a problem, I'm pretty sure the author is being 100% honest, but the editorialization is. The title of the the first paragraph is "Declining Productivity and Moore’s Law".

Fine article from a reputable source, but there's a tendency I despise in modern journalism: making it unclear they're talking about a declining growth rate (positive first derivative, negative second derivative: increasing with t

No, unless with "race" you mean something other than the ordinary meaning of the word. You can find those differences and draw lines between populations, but they don't overlap very well with the folk interpretation of race.

We should not, because race is a useless concept. There are traits individuals can have, some of which are immutable, and some of which correlate with what we call "race". But race itself is, even taking the most benign meaning po

They are nominated by the Council and confirmed by the Parliament, it's cheap populism to imply they don't represent the public at large.

I agree. Ironically, Java the language doesn't have any more boilerplate than, say, C++ or Go, which people are apparently okay with? It does however have some stuff that's plain dumb (can't have functions outside classes, pu

Occasionally MODO does offer throwback constructed. It did a few years ago with Tempest (mono-blue Capsize format). The problem is that formats tend to be solved by the end of the year, and nobody really wants to play a solved format. Limit

Java is still 95%+ of the marketshare of the JVM. Also "C++ being replaced by go and rust everywhere" is very much hyperbolic. You are either wildly exaggerating or living in a bubble.

Definitely THE website to bookmark if you're interested in C++ at all. Notice that due to SEO fuckery, your first search result might be cplusplus.com, which is not the same and not as good. cppreference.com is where it's at.

A platform whose audience is mostly teenagers is the wrong place to ban streamers actively promoting gambling? How is that even remotely censorship?

Yeah, technically it requires diacritical marks, but unlike French they are only written explicitly when they fall on the final letter of a word. Italian only has seven vowels, so these are the only common ones: è é ì ó ò ù à. What I would

As another non-American, I'm curious as to why you would say that. The US constitution was objectively very far ahead of its time, and it still is a far better attempt at a constitutional order than most. Very rarely can a country&#x27

Yes, programming with anything other than the US layout is simply unbearable. I simply switched to the US layout for everything. Although to be fair my native language is Italian, which doesn't need many special characters. Most progra

There's over 200k loc of Python in numpy alone, so yeah, it's the same order of magnitude of work to end up with a credible alternative.

It's massive work to reimplement say, Numpy and Pandas in javascript, in part because the language is different, and in part because the API is huge. It's technically possible, but not something that's available right now (no

I haven't explained this very well. By "hypotheses on the schema" I mean we are assuming the schema is already in a very normalized form. I fully agree most database schemas are awful, this is a deliberate choice to avoid get

We are going for a narrower scope than that. We are working with stricter restrictions on the database schema, where you are only allowed to join on synthetic keys and there is an enforced distinction between measures and dimension attribut

If you are so inclined, you may take this as a rejection of platonism on my part. Hardly an unusual position, especially among people with a CS background.
