Out of genuine curiosity since you mentioned UMPCs, what would be a good UMPC with LTE module support? I've looked into things like the various GPD Pocket devices, but I'm wondering if any of the other alternatives are any good. A

Truth is the best narrative, and it's better than – perhaps unconsciously – downplaying the culpability of the Russian Federation for the war. Heroyam Slava.

Well given that you're the first in this subthread to even mention socialism, that lesson of the 20th century would probably ring true, yes. Although I must admit that talking about classes like that probably did help conjure that idea

There have always been segments of the working class, which have deluded themselves into believing that by co-operating with the capitalists, they could shield themselves from the adverse effects of what is happening to the rest of the work

Number bases are arbitrary. Like, base 12 certainly has interesting properties since it is a highly composite number, but a lot of the convenient representations can be achieved by using actual fractions instead of insisting on radix points

There should be a way to have the function/method document what sort of stuff can go wrong, and what kinds of exceptions you can get out of it. It could be some kind of an exception check thing, where you would either have to make sure

Aside from the points that others have raised already, this sort of deep nesting can be seen as a feature instead of as a bug, since it can force you to think about refactoring the code into being less nested.

The point of schools is an attempt to provide uniform education to all pupils that are funneled through the system. Whether or not they succeed on this is irrelevant for the point. Also forcing kids of an age cohort to socialise with each o

To be fair, this doesn't really require these sorts of trillion euro unicorns to achieve, although it really is sad to see our industries be reliant on a regime that may turn hostile at the drop of a hat. We need to do better, but it s

Sure (although Trump's legitimacy to be in the position to do this kind of stuff is also suspect, but that's just me looking from across the Atlantic) but that doesn't make things necessarily legitimate. Musk being in a posit

DOGE, or alternatively Elon Musk. And even if one can argue whether those count as foreign entities as in other countries, they're certainly foreign to the US government, since this is quite novel BS.

Haskell culture tends to do this kind of stuff for records, FWIW. Of course, in this case, it might even make sense to render this in a way such as the following: { "foo": "bar" , "baz": "hehe&qu

To put the long story short: yes. Americans made their bed, now let them lay in it. Ideally those tools would have been used against him, but since they weren't... now is the time to reap the results of that inaction.

Well apparently at least public school libraries in Utah's Davis County[0]. To their credit, they did actually ban it due to vulgarity and violence, so at least they were principled in that sense, but then the book was brought back due

Okay, but counterpoint: why don't these school libraries also remove for example the Bible, a work known for extremely graphic content, eroticism, calls to kill based on one's tribe and doing stuff like working on the Sabbath. It&

Well given that the story of Atlantis is quite clearly allegorical, probably not. Although there probably was some sort of maritime link from Greece to beyond Gibraltar, the link to the Atlantis myth seems rather tenuous and moreover, isn&#

Zero-based counting works better with modular arithmetic. Like arr[(i++ % arr.length)] = foo; Is certainly nicer than the equivalent in one-based subscripting arr[(i++ % arr.length) + 1] = foo; (The above is actually wrong, wh

We haven't gotten the texts, but we do have the French statement that the denial was done due to the researcher's personal opinions about Trump's policy towards research. Is there some reason to be sceptical about the validit

Of course, there's no need to "demand" something that is already given. We have free speech rights here, no matter what Vance or Musk say. Also, calling someone else's point "sophistry" is not exactly nice, and

The funny thing is that this is both whataboutism and also irrelevant. While countries can turn foreign people away at their borders for any reason under international law (unless they're in specific protected classes of people, like r

One would imagine that free speech would mean that foreigners wouldn't get deported at the border just for the mockery of, or having displeasure against the POTUS. And even if it didn't mean that, it'd be very ironic for an a

Since we're talking about the "utopian and unrealistic vision" of the GNU project, I'd just like to pedantically note that the GNU project has no vision for "open source" but Free software. Indeed, the Chief GN

Well, it seems that at least according to the article, Finland, Scandinavia, the Baltics, Poland etc. weren't even asked for our opinions. Unfortunately typical that we just get ignored here in the eastern flank. One can only hope that
