Instead of domestic production you could also buy them from China and put them on stock for the next pandemic, like a strategic PPE reserve.

Actually I didn't. But everyone else did, even though Russian troops were surrounding Ukraine. Now Russia is under much more pressure than Putin ostensibly anticipated. They wrongly published a victory piece after just a few days into

A week ago Russia wasn't going to invade Ukraine. I think if there is a lesson to be learnt, then that some things we thought are certain really aren't that certain.

It's not cheap. I gave reasons why the world changed. You reasons (they used to listen, now they don't) don't hold water, because you can't point to anything concrete.

I think you misunderstood me. How did they decide what to implement? Reacting to the outrage of individuals from their user base? I don't think so. Instead they innovated and did what nobody really asked for, because they knew it was g

The title is wrong. They don't bet. It is deeper in the article. They are actually hedging their bets and can afford to loose that money.

I think the point GP is making is that hybrid Teams are worst off. And that was my experience also pre pandemic. Actually the people who always were remote felt a huge improvement, because suddenly all had the same 'distance' and

What exactly did they do that is most accurately described as listen to their users? Maybe I don't know everything that happened. But from my understand they made the best browser they could given the resources and succeeded massively,

Firefox was quality wise on a higher level than IE 4, and it didn't loose any of that. IE got better over the years, made a massive step forward with Edge and now again with Chromium based Edge. And finally MS is approaching Firefox in

Yes. It's a shame that the firefox user base is so easy to outrage. Same with the more recent change ragrding tabs. I am using firefox for a very long time now, and I just don't see that firefox is massively going downhill so far,

I hope that in 200 years we are well past the notion that government can't regulate these kinds of things. If not, we might not even be around that long as a civilization.

I would say, no need to plan out a career. But don't be surprised if you end up where you are currently heading. There might be unconscious things affecting your day-to-day choices affecting your career.

So the study (is there a study?) that found this result included Rwanda, and found that Rwandan kids suffer less from SIDS?

For long years I didn't really try to loose weight, because I thought it would require me to work out, which I didn't want to do. I know enough people with joint problems very likely relating to the amount of work out they did&#x2

I did a similar thing with the esp, which would fit inside the keyboard when folded. Of course the battery still wouldn't fit.

The German greens, now freshly back in government, have greatly accelerated worldwide deployment of renewables when they were in government last time. Without them it would have easily taken a decade longer for prices to plummet to the curr

Unicode 13 uses 143859 code points. 21 bits can encode more than 10x of that. And there are not that many languages left to add. We are already debating elvish. I am not sure what would warrant extending the coding scheme if we are already
318.
by stkdump 5y ago
The current scheme is extensible to 7x6=42 bits (which will probably never be needed). The advantage of the current scheme is that when you read the first byte you know how long the code point is in memory and you have less branching depend

I wonder what it would take to bring Linux to this state, where while running a program, you can decide to look at the source code, check in the debugger what is going on, apply a change and run the program as if you used the precompiled ve

I find it pretty funny that you would attribute something to the nature of a people after getting a well reasoned explanation of why people act that way and what the effect is, without even going into the argument.

I think a country at least gets to decide what it calls itself in english. For example in official documents that they translate to english. Or what they teach in schools as the 'correct spelling'. Now if the rest of the world fol

I think the problem is that economics needs to take human behavior into account, which it tries to do via game theory, which in turn relies on rational actors. I don't think individual human behavior is predictable like that. You could

You could do this with the factory pattern, applied to a template type. Though, if you would do this for the whole range of say, an int, you would probably blow up the compiler. How is that done in languages that do support this? Or does it

I also thought that. But on second thought I agree with her analysis. The reason that y and y' are different is the same that x and x' are different. It is a problem of lacking resolution, so it will always underestimate more on t

One thing always bothered me: how can something be cheap (after initial investments) and create lots of jobs in the long run at the same time? I mean what is the money for fossil energy spent on, if not either raw materials or people part o

So I pay for what I don't need to get the little that do I need. What you call irrelevant I call the core of their business model.

I used to live next to a DVD rental place that was 1€ per day. Often I would return the movie the same night. I used to watch 1-2 movies per month. Nowadays I have Netflix for what, 12€ a month? I still watch maybe one movie a month. So I g
