  1. Why is "no early returns" not a good rule?

    I do early returns in code I write, but ONLY because everybody seems to do it. I prefer stuff to be in predictable places: variables at the top, return at the end. Simpler? Delphi/Pascal style.

  2. I've been in towns in Mexico where the kids ONLY speak a Mayan language. No Spanish or English.

    I asked for directions and just got blank stares until someone who spoke Spanish in the village explained, lol.

  3. Meaningless. You can replace socialist by capitalist and it would be equally meaningless.

    The correct word is democracy. The people (or "workers") having a say or not has nothing to do with socialism or capitalism IMO.

  4. AI progress has slowed down?! By what metric?

    Quite the statement for anybody who follows developments (without excluding xAI).

  5. "make speculative statements"

    isn't this 99 percent of modern infotainment "journalism" though? making speculative statements, omitting and lying..

  6. What are the chances that Signal is an op ran by the NSA?
  7. A single malicious infotainment outlet can fool thousands or perhaps millions of real people as that fact gets repeated in different forms and amplified with nobody checking for a valid source.

    Llms are no more robust.

  8. Feel free to accuse the Germans. Russian bribes is basically why they have some of the most expensive energy in the world now. They're surprisingly corrupt for a "developed" "high tech" nation.

    Search Gerhard Schroder for more info.

  9. Not if you consider that you need to either renew or add battery capacity (and panels and power electronics) after x years? Or did you take that into account?
  10. The good news is: there are still off-site backups.

    The bad news is: they're in North Korea.

  11. This could be a quote from some Roman around the year 100 :p
  12. Another fun fact: you can remove all of the brain of a cat on threadmill except the brainstem and he'll keep walking.
  13. I can highly recommend aluminum tape or copper tape. Doesn't let any light through and super easy to apply.
  14. Apple is even worse. Try searching for Grok in the app store and it will be almost impossible to find due to some deal they have with OpenAI.
  15. What right wing elements?! Almost all of the EU (both at the EU level and member state level) is dominated by self proclaimed socialist parties or coalitions and has been for decades. The push for spying was always there and immediately became worse right after the Snowden revelations more than a decade ago.

    Your comment makes 0 sense.

  16. My only hope is Tesla bringing out a phone with it's own OS at some point.
  17. Still are being called that now.

    Any political party of any member state that even thinks about being critical of the EU will instantly be completely destroyed by "independent" national (state sponsored) media.

  18. Ah, the good old "think of the children" argument. Does anyone buy that?
