BIG EDIT: Because it's so trivially unsolvable, I had a quick look at the posted solution. We're reading it wrong. Take the first regex on the top row, one you included in your example: [^X]*(DN|TE|NI) You're supposed to fill

Not sure what happened there but your link disproves your statement. Specifically, the link says two things: 1. That 2 parties want to add *limburgish* to the list, not frisian. That's the bottom-right part of The Netherlands, about as

OpenJDK redesigns massive swaths of the compiler every other month. The true explanation, at least the way OpenJDK says it, is that designing language features is more complex than a casual glancer can fathom, and there's 30 years of &

by rzwitserloot 1y ago
That's not how the OpenJDK sees things. They tend to think that the features they deliver are at best mildly informed by other languages. Not out of some sense of hubris, but out of a sense of pragmatics: Simply copy and pasting featur

This could have easily been a youtube short or whatever 'vine offshoot' is your particular favourite flavour. On one hand, videos are terrible for accessibility. On the other hand, by being a website, in theory this stands a bette

My comment originally contained something along the lines of "When the invasion of hostomel failed, they should have ended their operation on the spot" but that felt too presumptuous. But perhaps it did inform my sense that this w

That sounds like "the leg amputation operation was a success, other than the fact that the patient died on the operating table". That "except" is doing rather a lot of heavy lifting. I have absolutely no idea what Russia

For context, in The Netherlands, supermarkets are in urban areas and have no parking lot at all or a relatively tiny one. The usual USian aspect of schlepping a shopping cart waay out to your car and then not wanting to schlep it back or to

I don't think so. Even a villain is the hero in their own story. For the vast majority of folks who are or would be a nuisance in flight, I'm pretty sure: * If they hear about stories where folks got punished for being obnoxious,

That does have the slight disadvantage that a glassed parking lot, utterly uniform and totally devoid of all life, is quite stable. I agree that it'd be lovely to have a definition that is devoid of subjective (human) judgement, but I

What a weird end to a fascinating article. It's like I'm reading the words of a political prisoner. Everything in the first ~80% of it sets up for a conclusion of 'one-sidedly slapping a ton of tariffs on all the things and e

Near the end, the post jumps to conclusions. It starts with 'there is a tariff difference - 2.5% vs 10%, on car imports from europe to the US vs the opposite direction' and then jumps to '... and this explains why there are w

I think it was Heinlein who came up with it, but it's a principle that basic logic dictates is obvious: Power and Responsibility - those must be 2 sides of the same coin, or very very bad things happen. The mindset of 'too big to

This is an ad hominem attack in the sense that PK has laid out the logic underlying his statement here. He is not asking that you are to trust his point based solely on his say-so. The right approach is: "This argument is dubious &#x2F
