The most insane part is that British ton is 1016 kg and American is 907 kg

Since when it’s acceptable for politicians, not just some politicians but presidents use such language

Some time ago I downloaded dump of all stackexchange sites. It’s not deployed to my home lab, just sitting there on hard drive so that I know I have it even when Internet goes DataKrash.

I cannot recall which dump I have. I believe it’s sqllite DB from 2024. I think newer dump are xml only. Here is good starting point - https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/224873/all-stack-exchange-data-dump-releases

By fake I mean business which officially registered but effectively does nothing, files 0 profit tax forms and pays just enough fees to keep it formally open. It doesn’t hide your identity from government but it does allow you to access content via countries where there is no age verification thus companies don’t get your id

You not uploading to cloud, you validate your docs locally

That’s nonsense, VPN is tool needed to run companies. Even if they make VPNs business only, people will just register fake businesses

You go bankrupt, AI company buys you and all your competitors. Other AI companies do the same. Each product includes AI costs like other raw materials. All costs passed down to consumers (which have no money to buy shit coz they were replaced by AI). AI companies just trade between each other in walled gardens.

Business is fine. People are screwed.

Correct answer - depends.

Option 1 if enabling led is action itself, not side effect. This would justify having enable/disable specific side effects in those functions. This is unlikely for given example. Enabling/disabling led likely side effect itself. You don’t want to put side effects into side effects.

Option 2 if it’s a side effect of bigger process. Option 2 makes harder to add side effects which will drive (but not guarantee) better separation of concerns.

Though, I’d go with option 1 anyway since I trust my self to not nest side effects even when code doesn’t hint me

TLDR: a lot of text to say that maybe you have a bug because you forgot ordering and idempotence. Check your code.

Has nothing to do with retry in particular btw.

You can have both. Just not in one MR. Do what is needed, push, branch off, do what is nice

Me, me, me. Only thinking about immediate inconveniences. This why they are where they are. Shoulda think about “building the country and wellbeing of others” in 2014 and 2022. Hell, there were hints in 2008 that their government began to rot.

I mean, if structure is O(1) for low N, it’s still O(1) for high N. If O “changes” from 1 to N with size then it’s never been 1. All I’m saying

“if it’s big”

is not how you identify correct O

Be me, have 15 items. Use any structure with any O. Latency still low

That’s not how Big O works

It’s all nice and cool but wtf is that road sign. Who the hell going to pay attention to grey sign which doesn’t even look like road sign while driving on what looks like 30 km/h road

You need to give up you personal data and buy €199/year subscription first. Special offer for Burgerstan

I had this thought that if things continue to move in the same direction, technology will split into corporate and independent. What I mean is that you either setup your home server with all local stuff you need and connect to Fediverse only, or your hardware and digital life fully dependents on corporations and subscriptions.

I never paid attention to the fact that people have racks at home in futuristic movies but I guess that’s how authors see future too

I’m not saying Article 5 is UN. I’m saying UN authorizes NATO operations (including the one initiated by triggering article 5) meaning Europe’s participation in Afgan invasion actually example of following international law, not selectively ignoring it

While I agree Europe bend rules sometimes, your examples are out of the place. Europe (NATO actually) assisted in Afganistan because it respected law - UN is authority in such cases and it authorized operations as per article 5 triggered by US. One can argue that Europe supported Israel but honestly EU part of Europe is just slow to react, even when they just need to withdraw support. I feel like EU didn’t want to support Israel (and looking at how mad orange man support was not according to expectations) but since it takes so much time for 27 countries to coordinate on foreign policy it was going by inertia.

By chance, maybe, but I specifically don’t click on “Advertised” links in search results. Even if do, does it matter if I’d chose service anyway? Coz all it changes is money moved from one rich ass to another. It doesn’t make me buy what I didn’t plan to buy. Contrary, I might avoid products which are too pushy with ads. In place where I come from people used to say that good things don’t need advertisement. So to me this ad changes nothing. If tomorrow world stop making ads nothing changes to me - I do search, it gives me options, I do research and make a decision
