I'm willing to buy that YouGov is a low quality poll, but you can't be suggesting twitter and youtube comment sections as a better alternative. Half of those comments might not even be human.

Not sure how much we can trust this poll, but it's already happening: https://today.yougov.com/topics/international/survey-results... > Do you approve or disapprove of the U.S. bombing nuclear sites in Ira

It's Trump. He could bomb LA and 30% of Americans will cheer for it. I'm not sure consent matters. Hopefully the ensuing economic meltdown will sour enough Americans before too many people are killed, but who knows.

New Amsterdam was founded on 1624, ~150 years before the federal government. You're comparing apples and oranges.

Well, it's my understanding that Xorg still cannot do per-monitor fractional scaling these days, have they fixed it? That was the major selling point of Wayland for me, as an occasional linux desktop user. Retina MacBook Pro was rel

TBH any mainstream language (and most non-mainstream ones) will be better than Python at this. Python can be pretty useful, but it's not known for having reasonable performance.

According to a popular quote, "Languages differ essentially in what they must convey, not in what they may convey." You can convey relative social position in English, if you want to. You don't have to, if you don't w

Umm... I'm not sure I follow. You were casually asking prices in English and the shopowner jumped to the conclusion that you were trolling him by using English when you were fluent in Korean? If it was around that time, most Koreans

On the positive side, Trump is so unstable that he'll trash your business one day and then the next day he'll reverse course. So, "if people kiss your ass enough, they get contract" does not seem to be a long-term viabl

When you employ your developers at $200K/yr you won't trust them to tell you the first one hundred digits of pi, but you'll trust them with your business logic, which is much more important and mission-critical to you. Same t

Of course wealthy people, whether they're Korean or American, buy and live in bigger houses. No surprises there. But that's a pretty weak argument to support my parent comment, which reads less like "people love big houses&

The point I'm trying to make is: if Trump bullies you, and you make a concession, Trump will feel no obligations to pay you back and may bully you further. China played hardball (up to some degree - I'm sure there were backstage

Maybe, but I doubt it. Trump is not a mafia boss - time after time he showed that his words cannot be trusted. If Harvard makes a concession, there's no guarantee that Trump will "forgive" it. Look how China is dealing with

All the talks about US national debt being "unsustainable" rings hollow, when you consider that Trump did everything to tell debtors that the US government is no longer a trustable entity and lending it money might be a bad idea.

"merely less performant" is severely underselling it. It could easily add a few zeros to your execution time. (And that's before you even consider GPUs.)

The final twist is... the mayor somehow came back from political suicide, and he's Seoul's mayor again (since 2021). At least he stopped complaining about school lunch. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

South Korea started dabbling in free school lunches around 2001 - when a few schools started it. It gained momentum, and then it became a huge debate in 2011, when Seoul's mayor somehow decided he hated free lunches so much that he ar
