I learnt that I must be good at computers when in 4th grade, despite never having touched a PC before, I not only managed to ace my Logo class but was asked by my teacher to help out other struggling students (I am just realising that essen

Yeah, I had the protector. It cracked from inside, so I guess maybe the force came from the other side.

Mine's screen cracked in a month. Didn't drop it or mishandled it. Be aware that is it much more fragile that a Kindle.

How would you divide 22 in small ratios, considering that 11 is a prime number?

West Asian maqam has 24 notes, Indian classical has 22 notes, Indonesian gamelan has 5 or 7 notes. What would be the ratios that sound pleasurable now? What is or isn't pleasurable is a matter of cultural training, and treating them as

As a non-musician non-Western programmer, the only music book that is making sense to me (still reading) is Robert Snyder's Music and Memory[1]. It's the first book that doesn't trick me by trying to pass cultural artefacts (

Even ignoring Hansson's racism and general assholery, can Linux users please start treating OSes like infrastructure and not like costumes? Just use Mint (or Fedora if feeling adventurous) on PCs and Debian on servers. Nobody can build

It’s not clear from the post, are they supporting the Content Blocker API? In other words, can I use Adguard with Firefox now on iOS?

History wouldn't keep repeating if they did so.

And who will fix the slop? Not Silicon Valley programs being paid $200K or whatever. We stand on the verge of a golden age of outsourcing in software which will make all previous phases of outsourcing look like trial runs.

Ah, so international law matters? In that case, surely China will follow the verdict of the South China Sea Arbitration?

And much of this is result of corruption and mis-governance. Hence my comment of the State betraying the Nation.

What do you mean "finally"? And why are you so willing to accept the fault of Kings but not the fault of the current Government in circumstances that look increasingly similar each passing day? Just because a Government was electe

India has gotten more powerful since the Cold War. If Iran can stand up to USA, then surely India can too; but only if the State has not sold its soul and its Nation.

> Both sides are getting something out of it Indian kings made deals with the East India Company. What did the people got out of it? Destitution? So no, I am not being melodramatic. India has a history of the State betraying the Nation.

What a fall from grace for the progenitor of Non-Aligned Movement to be bowing down to USA and hurting its own people. The Nation has been betrayed by the State.

So primarily state intervention then?

by HexDecOctBin 1mo ago
Why is that? Is it simply a matter of scale (not enough shipping containers leaving from India to Trinidad and Tobago)?

So they still don't support the Content Blocker API? Wouldn't that have been easier? Then I could use whichever lists or providers (Adguard, uBlock, etc.) that I want.

Well, graphics programmers were used to the mess from OpenGL days. Now compiler writer and hardware designers get to share the sorrow.

People don't like getting their dogmas challenged, especially when it comes to their Fathers' sins.

But the advent of Indo-European languages in Northern India (let alone Southern Sri Lanka) has nothing to do with Alexander or the Mughals. The Aryan Invasion Theory was propagated by the British to justify their colonial brutality, and no

Yeah, despite puritanical hand-wringing over C23, I do like both the discipline and the selectivity with WG14 has shows (and I say this as a card-carrying C++ hater). I do wish they will start looking into proper arrays since there is alrea

But if I don't care for object atomicity, can I get struct-like behaviour in Java for arbitrary large types?

What's the latest status? Is it still limited to 63-bits of data plus 1 bit for nullability?
