Stealing land from Taino people is as much unacceptable as confiscation of land of french citizens, and i am sure if there were some large Taino empire then it could protect property rights of Taino people against colonialists, but that is

It is not all or nothing. From today viewpoint, slave freedom and compensation from slaveowners is a legitimate goal, while confiscation of property (especially of non-slaveowners) and genocide is not defensible.

Well, there is draft, which (in case of a war) forces people to risk their life and health with much higher risk and for longer time than a pregnancy. And also there are bans on euthanasia, which just make people suffer for nothing.

District heating can use cogeneration in nearby power plant, so it essentially reuses waste heat from electricity production. There are even district heatings that use heat from nearby nuclear power plant. Also note that modern systems does

It is just quirky insert-sort. In each outer cycle, it inserts value originally from the A[i] position to already sorted sequence A[1]..A[i-1], while using A[i] as a temporary variable to shift higher part of the sorted sequence one positio

So they should prepare law novelization for cabinet, cabinet should push it to legislature, and legislature should vote on that. Like in any other country.

OTOH, results of elections to congress (house of representatives) looks balanced - total seats gained by each party matches popular vote with deviation < 1%. Which is much better than i expected considering single-seat system leads to ad

With all these stories about unexpected bills from cloud providers, are there cloud providers offering services with pre-paid credit instead of ex-post invoicing?

For me, it is hard to imagine to program in C without preprocessor metaprogramming. Obviously, it would be better if generic types and metaprogramming were available directly in the language. Alternative is either copying code and adapting

I live in country where houses were not designed for AC and now 1 month per year they are figuratively unlivable.

Energy for AC is easy - AC is needed in summer when there is available energy from sun, just waiting to be converted to electricity by photovoltaics. Energy for winter heating is much harder issue.

Fundamental problem with grapheme clusters as a basic programming language concept is that they are not uniformly defined, they depend on grapheme_extend property of unicode characters, which are known only for already defined codepoints. W

Why per-language package manager is ever needed? If the dependency is dynamic library, it is already handled by OS distribution. If the dependency is compiled-in, then one can just use git to load dependencies as submodules.

One sad thing about SIP that despite being pretty common here in Czechia, it is only used as a last hop to PSTN instead of as an independent federated network. It makes economic sense - it is hard to monetize running SIP servers for indepen
