Best I've been able to explain it is that it's a country build on hope and dreams, which are not compatible with reality and truth.

Well, who did you trust to build your hardware?

Well at some point you encounter a phase change, which complicates things, but mostly the heat capacity (how much energy it takes to raise the temperature) is fairly constant. In an ideal gas it is exactly constant, but that is a bit of an approximation, even if it works quite well for most gases.

Lenovo definitely deserves to be banned after that shit they pulled with the malicious root certificates.

That same description applies to downloading a zipped file.

For a revolution to succeed you need the power to remove any people in power that oppose you, doesn't get more authoritarian than that.

Agreed, but I am sad that they don't choose to share any of those personal experiences that they claim are vital for understanding communism.

Even if communist revolutions tend to fail for the same reasons most revolutions fail (a need for temporary authoritarian rule followed by fumbling the succession) anything that can help understand how and why something failed is useful.

And at this point it's also code for 'machine learning'.

Which really is just fancy statistics. Sometimes it's barely more advanced than plain regression.

Reminds me of the time I did roughly the same thing trying to get people to move away from internet explorer.

Heck if accelerating to Mach 19 in about 2 meters is acceptable you could just disable the rotors and only experience an acceleration of less than Mach 1 in just a few meters.

I won't pretend that its popularity is in any way proportional to its quality, but I enjoyed it and so did many others so she must have done something right. Calling a work that many people enjoy trash just sounds a bit elitist to me.

Feel free to call the author whatever you want though, at this point I've no respect left for her.

Just so I got this clear, making it illegal to tell advertisers when their ads are running next to dangerous or illegal content is a freedom of speech win?

I'm surprised you got tired of the stupid decisions if I'm honest.

I wasn't aware the characters were making any.

Wouldn't surprise me if even Unicode advices against using Roman numerals depending on meaning.

It was mostly a joke (though frankly if you try any implementation more complicated than that joke you're going to have a bad time).

It's simple ⅯⅯⅩⅩⅣis a number, MMXXIV is not.

Education has really failed to impress upon people the importance of asking questions. It's amazing how much time is wasted on making people learn answers to questions they don't even know how to ask.

Please tell me someone thought about a switch to take them offline.

Technically he was 19. Also under Dutch law the term rape would imply the use of force, which was either not the case or not considered proven hence why the sentence ended up being lowered.

Still awful. Just trying to get the fact straight so people can judge for themselves.

It's still wild to me that people announce things on X (né twitter).

For some reason I read 'zombies', was wondering what on earth you were planning.
