Antimatter Dimensions

Which is a pretty counterintuitive russian tactic, Bruce like what better option for building long tables would there be than cheap Swedish modular furniture systems?

Let’s hope there is a way to cure it.

I always thought it was only genetic, so noone could do anything against a wrong eyeball shape. But this seems very uplifting.

I wonder though why this article cites mainly eastern Asian sources. Is the rest of the world not interested in curing myopia?

In what countries is it illegal?

“works”

I don’t see how this is world news, in less public settings this happens all the time over here.

Does GDPR apply to stackoverflow? Since my data there probably does not identify me as a person?

So how many tons do these things hold?

Article says they ban the original.

Everyone who says otherwise is a flat-flagger!

So he was unable to go to the bathroom, I guess? Because the plane was not at the gate yet?

Well in that case, as disgusting as this may be, you can’t fine anyone for having bodily functions. I believe peeing in a cup is the right thing to do. Better than on the floor.

The maintainer is a human that needs to eat every day, and not just whenever their services are needed. So at least, the sum of money would need to be a few times higher than whatever labour the fix takes.

But then, the maintainer’s ability to fix these bugs doesn’t come from nowhere. They worked on this project for likely a long time, which would also need to be taken into account when agreeing on a sum.

Further, this would be business to business. And those contracts often include the value that the client gets out of the software. So if Microsoft makes billions from this open source library, then the maintainer’s - as a business - should receive a payment that reflects this for the fix.

All that implies that a few thousand is not nearly enough. Maybe 100k and the maintainer would budge.

The tweet is from today. The ffmpeg team felt like it needed to be said.

Such a great piece of art displaying one of the many issues with stack overflow.

Sure. But first and foremost the problem is that innocent people get sent to death. Their reactions to that are just symptoms, and not the cause. And the cause is the real problem.

No. It’s a double standard. You can’t send people to death and then complain if they lose their moral compass on the way.

Does anyone really think rape in war is a bigger problem than what is done to the soldiers? You are sending young men to be scared of dying at any point for months until they hopefully finally die. Or they get permanent injuries that prevent them from fighting. In any case, they will have severe psychological trauma at that point, so even if they survive the war otherwise unharmed, they will carry the ultimate punishment in their heads.

A soldier is basically dehumanised. Fighting to death is not a job. It’s severe abuse. And what happens to people that get abused? They likely become abusers too. Sad for women that they are physically weaker and hence make a good target for a male soldier. But rape is not the root of the problem, it’s a symptom.

Want wars without rape? Why not just vouch to end wars instead?

Blocks go BRRRRR

Basically using legit anti-Russian rhetoric against Ukraine. Pretty powerful way to spread misinformation by just basically saying “no you” to everything.

Russia is certainly keeping their people hostage, and wasting them in a pointless terrorist war, causing death and suffering in Ukraine. Pretty much like Mordor in Lord of the rings. And Ukraine is holding together, fighting back the orcs. Russia just acts as if it was the other way around.
