Just curious, what are you using instead of git, and why? :)

Personally, I prefer the CI/CD setup on GitLab over GitHub Actions. Horses for courses I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have found huge value in CBMC and KLEE for statically verifying C code for real time safety critical embedded applications. ACL2 is also VERY powerful and capable.

You know, not providing any evidence for your claim (the “fact”) does not prove your point..

Where do you get that ‘fact’? Can you elaborate? According to all the Annual Threat Assessment reports from the office of the Director of National Intelligence[1], the top four threats are 1. China 2. Russia 3. Iran 4. North Korea [1]: htt

This resonates with my experiences. I once broke an ankle badly and were on crutches + stabilizer boot for three months. I could mostly only use one hand if standing (other was holding crutches). It took me weeks to notice all the things I

Denmark holds the EU Presidency. That means they chair the Council of the EU, set the agenda, organize meetings, and drive forward legislative work in that period.

I respectfully disagree that Denmark is left-leaning wrt. immigration. 20-30 years ago that was true, today not at all. From https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2lknr2d3go.amp “UK seeks Danish inspiration to shake

I would not categorize Denmark as particularly technocratic, on the contrary. Many politicians here go against science and research because “I simply disagree”. Populism largely runs Denmark.

This was done to appease the racist voters, who are unfortunately a relatively big factor here. The law was installed in 2016, (colloquially called “Smykkeloven”/The Jewelry Law) after Syrian refugees walked up through Europe and Denma

Denmark mostly has authoritative politicians in government. Pragmatic and without ideology. The misguided tools believe they are doing us all a big favor. They handwavingly dismiss all privacy-related criticism with “well our experts say so

But are DRM and poor user experiences hard requirements for something to fit in your pocket? Otherwise, I don’t think I get your point - maybe you could clarify?

I am a European, so may be wrong, but it is my understanding that Indians have intuition around lakhs (100k) instead of thousands/millions. Apparently 100 lakhs is a crore (10M), but I haven’t seen that used so don’t know how prevalent

I don’t know about that. Python gets forked in other investment banks as well. I wouldn’t say that is evidence of any deficiencies, rather they just want to deal with their own idiosyncrasies. See https://calpaterson.com/ban

IMO it is a false dichotomy to equate piracy with theft like that. I think 90-99% of anything pirated (or accessed by bypassing paywalls etc) would just never be bought/paid-for if there was no alternative.

I think you are right that fingerprints are much easier to read and compare. I do believe it is for matching against images from social media, driver’s license, passports etc. The government likely has pictures of many more people than they

Thanks for responding and elaborating. I am not sure if we are in disagreement, but I believe my point stands: that Switzerland is a rich country despite working less than 40 hours/week on avg (actual hours).

Sorry, I am not Swiss myself, so I may be completely mistaken. I read that the average working hours is ~31/week. Digging further into that, it was the number of actual working hours on average (including part time and self-employeds),

You may be right about some parts of Europe, but I think you would be surprised just how prosperous at least the northern part is, despite sub-40 hour work weeks and comparatively high taxes, 5-6 weeks paid vacation and “socialist” politics
