The Eastern part of Ukraine used to be called "little Russia" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Russia); just like eastern Belarus was simply "White Russia". That's also why from 1721 the C

IMO they should be closed after due process. Not by administrative decision, i. e. censorship. If they were closed because after a short trial, a judge determining that they were spreading disinformation systematically, that would be comple

That's a pleasant fiction. Just like the fiction that the large company and the job-seeker are on an equal foot when contracting... Unfortunately, there are such things as corruption, lobbying and regulatory capture everywhere. The big

Vaguely related amusing bit of trivia: the word for smith or blacksmith is one of the most common names about everywhere: Smith (England), Schmidt (Germany), Smit/Smet (Belgium, Netherlands), Fabre/Favre/Lefèvre/Lefèbvre

Not really. However the position of Russians has been absolutely constant. See these excerpts from talks between Gorbachev and James Baker, Baker and Chevarnadze, with the famous "verbal assurances": https://www.les-cri

Putin is currently playing out the same game as he did in 2008 in Georgia. Abkhazia and South Ossetia aren't formerly part of Russia; their existence merely guarantee that Georgia cannot be part of NATO. That's the plan: preventin

This is what Dacia proposes in their cars. They know it's better to have a basic system with a radio, bluetooth and a place to store your phone, that will stay up-to-date and usable for years to come (check early-2000s high-end cars GP

Weird. I find Latin relatively easy and extremely clear, and much less convoluted than English. I love the wonderful terseness of Horace, the extreme information density it carries in a few words, all that's implied in these often non-

No I'm asserting that people are more comfortable and productive with the system they know best. I'm just saying that I know many people who are perfectly happy and productive using MacOS, or Linux, and that your dismissive commen

If you want Ubuntu without snaps, run Pop_OS. I'm using it and it's really fine.

No, that's just plain wrong. Me, my family and everyone in my company use Linux exclusively for everything, and did so for the past 15 years. We use it for photo editing as well as CRM, video editing as well as videoconferencing, gamin

DaVinci Resolve is historically a Unix (IRIX) program, and works best on Linux; post-houses who have dedicated Resolve workstations generally use Linux.

This is a canonical case of premature optimisation. I have performance problems with the database backend, the network, disk access, but too slow a regex is a completely non-existing problem in real-life for me. Or else I wouldn't be u

But I don't want functions such as start_with() or startWith()! I'd much rather use regexes, which are more powerful and more expressive, than a mish-mash of tests like if ( (myvar.startsWith('hello') and myvar.en

Perlmonks has been around for ages, and until the rise of SO was the definite go-to resource for any question Perl-related. Eons ago, the naive questions about HTML and regexes ( like https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=47553

It actually has this in a more powerful form: you'd use /^./ or /.$/ of course, and if you want more explicit writing, you can use Regexp::English that provides the kind of functions you like (see https:/&#x2F

That's not contradictory. The earth may be greening but become inhospitable to our staple crops at the same time. The world could become a lush jungle, that wouldn't make it a good place to live for 8 billion humans.

About 400 to 500g of CO2 per kWh. That's everything but green. Plus as Norway and Netherlands production are in sharp decline, the proportion of EU natural gas coming from Russia, currently at 40%, is deemed to grow. That's mind-b

This is very menacing, more than could seem at first glance. All sort of crops could bloom much too soon, and be destroyed at the next cold event. And every summer from now on, we'll be under the menace of an extreme hot event destroyi

In French, always the Littré: https://www.littre.org/ The exact opposite of dry, modern dictionary, you can read it along for the quality of its prose, and its numerous and interesting quotes.
