Come on, that's not an accurate depiction of what happened to ethnic Germans in Eastern Europe. It is the neo-Nazi party line though.

I experienced the mirror stage twice in my life: once in real life and once in Duke Nukem 3D. Took me ages to realise why I couldn't kill the enemy in blue uniform behind the weird portal.

It's not about mustache twirling villains though is it. There are also a large number of people there who sit at desks and handle the logistics of moving people who are entitled either to be treated as PoWs or to a fair trial, into cou

I believe it was the subject of the test who could make the polygraph reading show whatever they wanted, even though it was being administered by an experienced operator.

One of the creepiest aspects of this is that the 'thirsty content' is mainly mainly AI-generated pictures by spammers who know what they are doing, but also includes 'correlated' posts by normal users. Eg you have a 15-y

I believe it was somewhat like that at large cigarette companies in the heyday of smoking. An ashtray on every desk and throughout meeting rooms. Free packs of cigarettes you could grab anywhere in the building + a certain number of packs g

SQLite is tested against failure to allocate at every step of its operation: running out of memory never causes it to fail in a serious way, eg data loss. It's far more robust than almost every other library.

Selling for a negative price is completely different from buying, because the flow of 'goods' is in the other direction.

I mean if the capacity has outpaced people's ability to use it, to me that's a good sign that a lot of the future improvements will be making it easier to use.

If you don't believe in the power and corruption of the military procurement industry and the military itself, then your comment is so unrealistic as to be deluded. If you do believe in it, then it's simply irrelevant. Given the o

This result is out from the article by a factor of pi/3. This is the multiplicative difference between his inner integral with all the sins 24pi^2 and the GP's observation that 3 points on the chosen circle have density (2 pi r)^3

I think it's fairly straightforward to adapt your method. Given circle center c you just need to multiply by 2 pi c to get all the circles. int 0..1 2 pi c int 0..(1-c) (2 pi r)^3 dr dc / pi^3 int 0..1 2 pi c int 0..(1-c

It says this but the numbers in the article actually show flatlining after 2013 with a huge drop off after 2020. 2022 8th grader cohort missed much of 6th and 7th grade. 2024 cohort missed 4th and 5th grade. These results are extremely in l

Looks like Croydon, Wandsworth, Brent, Lewisham, Hackney and Harringey are all boroughs which don't have tree databases or don't integrate the data with the GLA. Most of these have centrally maintained roads through them where TfL

A couple of interesting anomalies on the map of London highlight complexities in our system of local government. Hyde Park shows as an empty space. Hyde Park does contain trees, but the park is administered by the Royal Parks Commission, wh

Heuristic: (65/64)^64 is extremely close to e. This comes from a classic formula for e as the limit of (1+1/n)^n. Therefore (65/64)^32 is roughly sqrt(e). Since 1 < e < 4, 1 < sqrt(e) < 2. So 65^32 < 2 * 64^32.
