  • Whilst I agree on the wall, fog and rain are not extreme weather conditions. I'd rather he'd used a level of rain that was less intense. However, the fact is lidar still worked even though it was not clear it was going to.

  • Set it and forget it, eh?

    Any distro you like, as long as you stop futzing with it.

    Seriously... they're breaking because you change things. Linux machines stay up for years without issue. Stop breaking the install.

  • Doesn't actually say that 60k overheated his drive. He says that he ran a run on 60k, and that he couldn't do the whole database due to overheating. Two unrelated statements except that 60k is the lower bound for what he could process.

    Doesn't mean he knows what he's doing though, as pretty huge datasets are processable on quite modest hardware if you do it right.

  • Mmmmm. I think I disagree.

    Germany and the Soviets had agreed a boundary between the lands they both wanted to conquer. The deal was that the Soviets would take eastern Europe and Germany the west. Hence both countries invading Poland in 1939. Non-aggression is one way of putting it. Dividing Europe between them is another. Both aggressors against Europe.

    And then Finland. The Winter War was a defensive war against the USSR and didn't involve Germany. They then exploited it when Operation Barbarossa commenced and continued pushing the soviets back. Finally, once that was done, they joined the fight against the Germans. To say they were allied with the Germany just because the both were engaged with fighting the USSR at the same time is wrong.

  • One thing a lot of people really struggle with is that if you see something going on you don't like in an organisation, you have to options:

    1. Leave and set out on a new path
    2. Stay and try to change the organisation from within.

    I think too many people choose option 1, especially in politics. They resign and say "not in my name". However, from their opponents point of view they're now defeated. The obstacle is removed. They can now do exactly what they wanted to do, and probably go further.

    The harder option is 2. Stay and fight, and probably lose multiple times, but you'll make your opponent's goals as hard as possible to achieve. You may even start winning and through your example bring others to your cause.

  • I wish they'd put the articles behind those covers on their site, rather than just simple biographies. I'd like to read how people like Hitler and Stalin were perceived in the run up to WW2. Stalin in 39 is particularly interesting because that's just after Molotov-Ribbentrop has been signed and WW2 has started with the Russian allied to the Germans.

  • Fact is, even in the west we don't know much. The historical record has holes. We know of the protests. We know the military went in and nobody came out, but I'm not sure we really know what happened.

    At least... I don't.

  • Closest I can come with is nuclear disarmament. Not because I think they were on the wrong side of it, but I think it's far less clear cut and there's a credible argument that MAD has worked.
