Which is kind of just one way of saying "They don't know".

I don't think they do know. Nor do I think most of the shareholders know. If they did they would know that they can make way more money with forward thinking and planning beyond a quarter. The lack of that is the clearest indication I

I am unclear on how strong nationalism is an authoritarian signal. Can you go into more detail there?

Interesting. So they have a history of attempting to legislate authoritarian rules that restrict civil liberties for citizens?

I'm not familiar with the far right in Germany. Why should we be assured that they will reverse course as soon as they can afford it?

I do not think ICE is conducting themselves well here. The point of my post above however is that part of the reason ICE is acting like this is because ICE and Chicago have positioned themselves as antagonists and the results are reasonably

I read the link you posted. As far as I can see there was in fact reasonable suspicion that there would be people in those locations who were not supposed to be there. I can both realize that it is traumatizing for those involved and also r

There are plenty of people in poverty who do not put themselves in a postion to have a government put guns in their face. It is not poverty by and large that causes a government to put guns in their face in America. Poverty may at times be

They often don't. There are a lot of variables that affect the price. The doctor is not going to know all of them.

What? They did in fact maintain correctness. GTA was emphatically in the wrong here and only accidentally worked for a long time because of some internals of the CriticalSection code that they didn't even know they were depending on. T

I use firefox and I almost never see cloudflare captchas. I don't think it's the browser that is causing the problem.

by zaphar 1y ago
I have never seen credible evidence that this is what Cloudflare sees as their business. They fundamentally don't care what browser the user is using. What they care about are the traffic patterns of users and preventing their customer

I think you missed the point here. Forking is and always has been a totally viable hedge against any other parties control in an Open Source product. Google can't force Microsoft to take it as it is with no input because Microsoft can

So you are in fact claiming that "Han Chinese" is a political ideology rather than an ethnicity? Because that is the only way your point makes any kind of sense.
167.
by zaphar 1y ago
I'm trying to figure out how your comment has any relevance to the the coment it's replying to and I can't find it. Is "Han Chinese" a political ideology instead of an ethnic identity and I was just unaware?

The first as an effect is negligible and likely extremely temporary. The second I'm unfamiliar about and also likely extremely temporary. Your long term effect I disagree with. I don't think the murder made people feel any more em

Here's the problem though. Scientific studies that are one off, not replicated, and standing on dubious ground are getting used to justify numerous societal and policy changes. So while "Science" the practice of studying and

No cop who hunted down Luigi benefited from the CEO's death. Not a single one. Unless by benefit you mean "felt good about the death". Which, is lame and sad for anyone who thinks that. No policy changes were made as a result

Because I fundamentally disagree with the whole "power" is everything dynamic that seems to crop up here. They are leaders because people follow them. The only power they have is the power that others give them. Leaders captures t

The seeming trend that worries me the most these days is the lack of competence at multiple levels of society. Our leaders, their supposed subject matter experts, the people doing "the science" all seem to be demonstrably incompet

Arbitrary constraints are essential to any artistic endeavor. It's foundational to fostering creativity. So yes, it's an arbitrary constraint. That doesn't make it any less valid.

He specifically set a constraint for now curved surfaces. Using cylindrical and conical surfaces would have violated that constraint.

I go through those trainings several times a year. That email is as close to perfect for a phishing email as I've ever seen.

If you are actually using specialized exceptions and a catch-wrap-rethrow strategy then you are doing error modeling and you aren't "Just letting them bubble up to the top" which is basically making my point for me.

I can't think of any either. A sibling commenter suggests maybe Eiffel but I haven't really tried or looked at that language so I don't know if it's true. I think having all 3 would be great but if I can only choose one

To be fair, Rust could have done CheckedExceptions like Java has but no one uses. The problematic version is the RuntimeException. I think the real problem was that when Rust conceived of Result they didn't constrain the problem to jus

This is the "I don't care what fails nor do I wish to handle them" option. Which for some use cases may be fine. It does mean that you don't know what kinds of failures are happening nor what the proper response to them

The problem I think is that all the easy infrastructure problems have been solved and the market is crowded with those solutions. Solving the hard problems is probably where you could have a viable business but I don't really see that
