All mathematic exposition feels that way.

Somewhat off topic rant, but am I the only one who find mathematical notation unnecessarily obtuse? The bit that gets me is defining degree as n-1. For someone without a mathematical background, it takes a bit of pondering to figure out tha

All you're doing here is associating your hopes and dreams with grifters and charlatans. They should be mocked and called out, it might leave room for actual innovators who aren't glossy incompetents and bullshitters.

A cleaner, faster way to implement this sort of thing is to use the "labels as values" extension if using GCC or Clang []. It avoids the switch statement and associated comparisons. Particularly useful if you're yielding insi

This is nonsense. Not mentioned is that Greece has borrowed excessively and had defaulted on its loans. A bailout was organized by the EU and IMF with terms that Greece had every opportunity to reject. No one forced anything on Greece. The

The large carriers, created through mergers that should never have been allowed, have the most popular routes locked up through ownership of landing/takeoff slots and similar. On those routes, fares have substantially increased due to

Globally, big airlines seem to be doing fine: https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/most-profitable-airlines I think there are lots of airlines that are propped up by governments that lose money leading to the meme you&#x

Average airfare isn't a useful stat in this respect. What would be useful is comparing fares for individual routes over the years, which would tell a different story. Average fares are skewed by low cost carriers entering the market.

That's not what I'm talking about. It's the notion that if you get the corrupt to justify their actions that you'll somehow avoid corruption. Fixing corruption involves people refusing to put up with corruption.

This is the sort of bureaucratic nonsense people actually rail against. You're assuming you'd get something truthful or informative out of that process, when in reality you'll get the opposite due to the inherit (dis)incentiv

More broadly, ignorance and stupidity amongst the general population benefit some politicians.

This is not true for most people. They get comfortable with their phones and they don't see any reason to change something that works. My friend has had her phone for 7 years and she's being pushed off it because apps are refusing

How is "othering" people going to lead to peace? "Western liberals" aren't stupid or naive, they're just seeking a peaceful solution if possible. And why are people so willing to believe that military force wor

A non sequitur followed by a claim that Biden is responsible for Israel's security on the ground against Hamas. Well Israel's security forces were out to lunch on that score, given how Hamas literately walked all over them, so I c

This is probably the worst thing about Trump, he's let Bibi lead him around like a dog on a leash. Any other president would be infuriated with Bibi's actions, because they would know he's cornering the US. But he knew Trump

It's not really overzealous since not banning the CGNAT IPs just gives the abusers safe harbor.

> it does help you avoid being IP-banned Actually all it does is get everyone behind the CGNAT banned. I've lost access to the WSJ and NYT recently, and other websites over time. For every Cloudflare backed website, I have to pass a

I feel like an open source RV CPU is very likely in the high-performance space. The amount of effort required to design and implement such a device makes it difficult for a single company to invest in, but many interested users of it could

Generally speaking, the advantage of logic programming is that it's (more) declarative: you describe the problem and it derives a solution.

Musk tried to have a close associate installed as the head of NASA. Even if those facts are true there are many, many benefits Musk stood to get. So although the GP comment is a bit silly it's still in the ballpark.

Indeed, somehow Google is the worst offender with this. Lately they've decided that auto translating the local language into English in Maps reviews is the wrong thing to do. They translate every other language into English but someho
