The distinctions get blurry if you’re the sole user.

I‘m using DataGrip (IntelliJ) for any manual SQL tomfoolery. I have been where you are. Luckily for me, the tool asks for additional confirmation when doing any update/delete without where clause.

Also, backups are a must, for all the right reasons and for any project.

the Arab nations all voted against as they felt the share of Palestine left to be called Palestine was not enough

Not only did they vote against it, they invaded Israel (already in civil war) and fought a bloody war until 1949. To their demise, the result of that war was that Israel won against the combined Arab League, even captured much of the Palestine territory and kept it.

Great update, and an interesting read, too!

Hamas yesterday fired 5000 missiles at Israel and took hostages which they called „Operation Al Aqsa Storm“. At a first glance, it sounds like the two incidents might be related…

Alt and title attributes for screen readers don’t require space. Actual labels require space that might vary greatly depending on the language.

Home | Products | About | Privacy

Takes less screen space than e.g.

Startseite | Produkte | Über uns | Datenschutz

It is still doable, of course. It is just another thing one must account for. Languages that read from right to left or top to bottom are especially hard to implement in a satisfying manner, if you’re not used to it. With icons one can somewhat circumvent the issue.

It is hard to read text with very long lines. Have you tried it? You need multiple text columns if you want to use more horizontal space (newspapers and large books have been doing this for centuries for this reason).

Creating columns was quite tricky before the widespread browser support for the relevant css. There was at least a decade with widescreen monitors but without proper (and responsive) column support in browsers.

That being said: Pages that are newer than let’s say 2020 don’t have this excuse.

You don’t own franchise partners by definition. They are individually owned restaurants that pay you a fee to use your brand (name, menu, marketing, etc.).

„Shutting down“ here means: Don’t renew these franchise contracts. The restaurants will continue to exist, but they will have to rebrand and be less lucrative.

I probably don’t know the full context. A cheap uninterruptible power supply (UPS) costs like $50 to $100 and does exactly what they asked for, doesn’t it?

plans for reducing reliance (i.e. ditching)

Plans for reducing reliance and ditching are two very different things.

That is not legally possible in the EU. You can grant irrevocable usage rights, but you cannot give away your copyright.

Not that hot of a take. They committed plenty of war crimes of their own and some were dealt with accordingly after the war. Sadly, not all war criminals were put to trial for various reasons and now it’s oftentimes too late.

The difference in opinion can’t be that big or important if they’re willing to kill and die under Nazi orders.

That’s a valid point. They also did commit war crimes, including dozens of massacres. I am certainly not trying to whitewash the Waffen-SS foreign units. They are to blame for what they did, including those of them that were coerced or conscripted.

I was talking from a historical perspective and trying to provide some needed context about those organizations and why it’s incorrect to equate membership in a Waffen-SS foreign legion with membership in the SS. Both organizations are guilty of war crimes and atrocities. With the Waffen-SS it’s less certain if each and every member is guilty and to which degree. I cannot say much about Yaroslav Hunka, whose name I have heard for the first time here. From what is in the article, he sounds guilty as fuck.

I have also updated my above comment to clarify this.

SS is not the same as Waffen-SS. The Waffen-SS again had foreign legions. These Waffen-SS foreign legions were volunteers at first, later a mixture of volunteers, voluntolds, conscripts and in the end pressured and/or forced conscripts.

I don’t know about the individual motives of the person in question. But the Waffen-SS foreign legions are too much of a mixed bag to generalize.

In Eastern Europe many joined the Waffen-SS foreign legions to fight against the occupation of their countries by the Soviets. Their values and goals didn’t necessarily align with those of the Nazis, except that they had a common enemy.

Edit: The Waffen-SS was part of the German war machine and they did commit plenty of war crimes. I was commenting to differentiate between two different criminal organizations here (SS/Waffen-SS) and to explain how the recruitment changed as the war went on. It was a mistake on my part to omit this, given the sensibility of the topic. Please do not take my comment as an attempt at whitewashing the numerous crimes of various Waffen-SS units.

Why would anyone switch from Unity to Unreal to evade the revenue share? Both engines have that.

Godot might be an alternative.

"non-retroactive" clause directly in their contract

I also wonder how Unity‘s approach will work in countries where that is the legal default. I have a feeling that we will be seeing quite a few lawsuits next year, if they actually go ahead with their plans.

I have yet to find an LLM that can summarize a text without errors. I already mentioned this in another post a few days back, but Google‘s new search preview is driving me mad with all the hidden factual errors. They make me click only to realize that the LLM told me what I wanted to find, not what is there (wrong names, wrong dates, etc.).

I greatly prefer the old excerpt summaries over the new imaginary ones (they‘re currently A/B testing).
