Oppenheimer was making a bomb from day 1, he knew exactly what he was doing and how it would be used. There aren't so many different use cases for a bomb, after all. It was a nice movie, but it does not absolve him

Why is that? Hours or even days of downtime are still better than just losing all data. It's a simple cost-benefit analysis, and it's ok to pick different trade-offs depending on your use case

There are very, very few old buildings in the world that haven't been rebuilt and reimagined at least once in their lifetime, for the majority of them the parts that we find most esthetically pleasing are later additions

You know that brutalism is long dead, don't you? At this point it's just a scapegoat, if you cannot see beaty in at least some parts of modern architecture, you clearly haven't been paying attention. Just look at some of the

I'm actually still disappointed that they did not chose some bold and modern solution. France has no shortage of gothic cathedrals, many of which are much more interesting than Notre Dame of Paris, this was a once in a century chance t

In most cases residential buildings are not the original target, some rockets/drones just miss, some get shot down and fall wherever. It happens to the both sides of the front line, btw. Not to downplay the humanitarian catastrophe tha

The problems you're describing don't exist in go. There is exactly one standard type that is used by everyone, at least in public API's, you can always just return the error to the caller, if you don't want to handle it

Dostoevsky is funny, but his humour is very subtle and can be easily lost in translation. And being funny and dark are not mutually exclusive things, there is a whole genre of tragicomedies, after all

That's clearly stupid. What we should do is use AI, this is a much better idea

Yeah, but Peter actually flirted with the Dutch, not Germans. Nobody just sees any difference ;)

I'm sorry, are you seriously proposing that I should read the text before commenting on it? That isn't how the things are done around here.

To be fair, your experience from 5 years ago is just as irrelevant. Russia under sanctions is very different.

> just hard enough that it hasn't been progressed for decades That's the thing, though: it doesn't need to progress, it's essentially solved. At least, for our current usage

KDE was my first linux DE when I first switched from Windows around 2005, but I moved away from it during the early KDE4 debacle. Switched back to KDE a few years ago and cannot be happier, feels so good to be at home again. Happy birthday!

Our ancestors and Neanderthal ancestors for that matter came there all the way from Africa. It was definitely doable at the time

It costs very little to try and see if it works out, they will try again shortly. You can see the same bahavior with chat regulatons in the EU.

You're talking past one another. The whole point of being interested and passionate about a topic is that you want to learn stuff regardless of whether or not it's useful

If you get rid of the runtime, which most compilers allow you to do, C++ is just as suitable for this task as C. Not as good as hand-rolled assembly, but usable

The language of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky sounds just as archaic to Russian readers as Victorian English does to you. In a sense, preserving this archaism is closer to the original than trying to modernise it

At least, we can hope that AI will master pointers one day. For people it's completely hopeless

Because that creates a lot of additional work and controversy for no real gain. Do courts rank cases and hear them in the order of severity of the crime? It's exactly the same situation. I agree that both companies should be held to th

Why does it have to be more of a monopoly than Microsoft to be considered a monopoly?
