If they actually redesigned and rebuilt it evety 6 months, that would be a reasonable approach. Often they just want to build more stuff on top of what they already have, however.

Diplomacy was actually a lot more common than war.

You should probably put it at the top - otherwise those of us happily using the browser have to skim over a lot of stuff on various useless apps before we can see that you ruled out the obvious (to us) solution.

What are some more reasonable uses for the but operator, then?

Maybe with evil-mode and some judicious key remapping one could get by.

I wonder how convenient it would be to run i3 with a browser and an emacs window or terminal on the thing. That would cover a lot of possible use cases for me.

I don't think anyone disputes that nations are social constructs, it is the "and as such all immigration policies of any sort are illegitimate and harmful." part that is controversial.

The second part of the statement was "and as such all immigration policies of any sort are illegitimate and harmful.", which seems to be being ignored by those who want to claim that the fellow was unreasonably complaining about n

I'm short sighted in one eye, so my brain doesn't really resolve the different images into a cohesive feeling of solidity, so 3D is wasted on me.

Tail recursion optimisation gets rid of all tail calls in functions, not just those that might lead to loops - you cannot in general detect those calls that might be loops. This can put a lot of holes in your stack trace.

As long as people are free to leave, I wouldn't worry about it. If Gates' plans include a large wall, or making it into a single employer 'company town' type thing, that might be an issue.

I can well imagine that Machiavellian strategies of that type go on in most politically powerful peoples heads, but as far as I know Stalin never stated anywhere that his aim was to reduce the size of the economy, and the beliefs of everyon

How would you describe the support for Lysenko's disastrous agricultural policies, or the persecution of the Kulaks, if not as ideological?

You could use boost::optional. Or std::optional, come c++17.

Czechia and Slokavia would seem an apter comparison.

I don't think the political spectrum is in any way well defined - you can come up with left- or right-sounding justifications for pretty much any specific policy you care to, and if you look back across the decades or to different coun

Fair enough then, I suppose that in C you have to do something like that if you want both that your matrix size is decidable at runtime, and to be able to index it with m[x][y] rather than some function.

Unless you're passing arrays of pointers to things about, the individual elements in a C array should be contiguous.

It wouldn't be the first time that large sections of the US political classes fell for conspiracy theories about Russia.

Understand "left" as a political marketing strategy rather than a political ideology, and referring to the Democrats as left wing will make sense to you again.

Those articles are about students taking notes on laptops during lectures, which Ibthink is a pretty different case to taking notes while reading a book. Reading on a phone, I get the ability to look up unfamiliar words immediately, add the

Personally, I don't usually retain much, ebook or physical book, unless I take notes, and I find ebooks make such note taking a lot easier.

Accountants are pretty important once you have a sufficiently large organisation to manage.

Given the widespread images of riot police and blood spattered citizens for nothing more than trying to vote, I'd put it down as a strong political victory for the independence movement.

So really, the Spanish government should just have let the referendum go ahead peacefully, and thereby have had that fact publicly demonstrated.
87.
by sbmassey 9y ago
That doesn't seem to address the point made in the comment you are responding too - if the referendum is illegal, then why not just make the point that it is illegal clear, and ignore the result, rather than attempting to shut it down

Catalonia has it's own language though, whereas Mancunians may speak strangely, but it is still considered English.

What do you mean by "fairism"? Presumably not the Urban Dirctionary definition: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Fairism
