Proof of my and your existence is impossible in a similar way - we could all be just brains in vats and all external stimuli might be hallucinations (or we could be just GPT-powered chat bots). In fact, I could be a hallucination of yours a

What is the reason why Java and Flash runtimes were somehow more prone to malware but JS seems fine? Is it some specific sandboxing technology or something else entirely?

It does seem like almost entire world (including most of South America and Middle East) condemns this particular invasion, though: > The vote on the “Aggression against Ukraine” resolution was 141-5, with 35 abstentions. > Only Belaru

Will it be a lasting peace, though? Doesn't demilitarization mean that if another "people's republic" appears, let's say near Transnistria, Ukraine will be unable to do anything about it?

Python is definitely simpler to start with but it doesn't expose the beginners to some concepts directly - interfaces are implicit because of duck typing (unless you use the ABC module), everything is public (underscores are just a con

I think it's a pretty reasonable assumption, even if the ordering is strictly personal (some people would take a job with better work-life balance instead of the better paying one, some would make a different choice, same thing with te

I guess the same question could be asked in the opposite direction, so to speak - isn't a belief that such a right exists enough for it to exist, even if it's unwritten?

Could you point me to some resources about this sort of thing? I remember hearing about someone implementing transpilation of some subset of C++ to some subset of Java using Prolog but I couldn't find the actual code.

I have settled on putting tags (bunch of words I associate with given subject separated by underscores) in names of files/directories and using FSearch ( https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch ) to search for the ta

I think this is just how operator overloading works in Groovy: https://groovy-lang.org/operators.html#Operator-Overloading "Or" is the name of the "|" operator. From the looks of it it's impossible

How about Groovy? ("ls".execute() | "grep -i old".execute()).waitForProcessOutput(System.out, System.out) It can also be written as "ls".execute().or("grep -i old".execute()).waitForProcessOutput(Syst

I think this is can be handled with Lombok using @Getter and @Setter annotations ( https://projectlombok.org/features/GetterSetter ). It is not exactly the same because you call generated methods instead using assignment

Could you list these features? I was under the impression that apart from some things that can be easily done in C# but are pretty much impossible to do in Java (like value types* and pointers) the languages were pretty similar. Some C# thi

Surely there is no escape from solipsism but since it's all-encompassing then how much actual value does it provide? I mean, we can annotate every observation and every thought ever with "for all we know it could be just an illusi

It most likely has no impact, just like most (if not all) equipment targeting audiophiles.

What distinction does the word "natural" provide? Chimpanzees use tools, does that make their behavior and societies "unnatural"?

Is CurlFtpFS still developed? Last time I considered using it it looked abandoned and there was some regression from years ago which supposedly made it really slow. I think rclone offers pretty much the same functionality and more?

Should we expect evolution to explain evolution, though? It reminds me a bit of the "falsifiability is not falsifiable" kind of argument - just like falsifiability doesn't apply to itself (it applies to science and falsifiabi

I think it uses WPF for the interface, so Linux support would pretty much require a fork unless WPF starts supporting Linux.

Oh, so by fuzzy search you mean full text search, not just a simple 'LIKE A%' pattern - it's an entirely different kind of flying altogether ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qNtyfZP8bE ). I don't know wh

Would it not prevent some optimizations based on statistics regarding the data distribution, like using the most selective attribute to narrow down the rows that need to be scanned? I'm assuming there are 2 indexes, 1 for each column t
