It appears that (at least) one person died by the hands of them. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/08/politics/capitol-police-o... Also, a terror attack doesn't need to kill people.

The capitol was clearly barred+fenced off. They FORCED their way in. All of it was televised. Why even try resort to fringe observations by "some reporters".

Gutenberg is one example, Hitler another one. It like people already forgot that followers of the president committed an domestic terror attack right after attending his rally.

Trump still lied about it. 1. The 2% target is a non-binding guideline. 2. Germany has (for some time) a plan in place to increase the defense budget to meet the 2% target. It will increase on a year-by-year basis. 3. Germany spends quite a

Yes, I don't remember Julia being mentioned. Also, Elixir/Erlang isn't mentioned when they talked about actor based concurrency. Neither is Rust which has some simultaneity with swift. They also didn't really talk about

Edit: My bad didn't recognize the parent comment was about Ruby, and that the code isn't elixir by a long way. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think there are 1 (and a half) other ways you could write it - that don't resul

713,000 voters for 301 locations. Assuming 356k vote on election day, and voting takes place over 12 hours. That's still about 100 per hour and location. And that's ignoring that most will likely vote on their way from/to wor

The difference is that the 3000 series introduced 12 Core CPUs that weren't available before AND provided increased gaming performance. This time around the major reason seems for upgrades to be single core performance - which I guess

Sure, the prices of the new generation will fall over time. But I still don't quite see how the multi core performance per $ of the new generation will be competitive compared to their previous generation. At least at the lower end, si

As much as I like the new generation I'm not quite sure about those prices. Right now I can buy: - Ryzen 9 3900X (12C / 24T) 3.8GHz - 4.6GHz => 389€ - Ryzen 7 3700X (8C / 16T) 3.9GHZ - 4.5GHz => 299€. It seems

I second that. So far every talk by Dave Abrahams has been entertaining and insightful to me.

Looks great. But I wonder why there are platform requirements for what seems to me like pretty basic functions. In RandomSample.swift: // For log(_:) and exp(_:) #if canImport(Glibc) @_implementationOnly import Glibc #

Thank you for the very detailed response, I'll definitely read it more thoroughly once I have more time. Yes, what I imagine would probably be a 'closed-world' that goes against most of what makes Erlang special. It's no

As a more or less elixir beginner, elixir/mix releases remain confusing to me. First of all, it took me way longer than it should be to figure out how to set the entrypoint of my application. More importantly the resulting releases are

Very impressive. I predict that they'll be (more or less) sold out at least until 2021 at the very least.

Tbh Hearthstone would probably not be chosen considering the amount of RNG and the fact that it's not very popular compared to other games. But I agree, it's more comparable to chess and could be played as a tabletop game with lit

There is no obvious solution to balance changes. Using an open source structure or a committee for this would probably be slow, or doesn't work at all as it prevents meaningful/drastic changes. Those are often very opinionated. Ho

Yes, CS counts and Source can be considered a successor to 1.6. Similar with Dota2 and Dota. While the game changed in big parts, the concept and required athleticism remains the same. It's comparable to how tools for other sports chan

Esport has a physical component where every millisecond and mouse/keyboard action can decide the game. Chess doesn't, except maybe blitz.
