lol, right, this is terrorism!

If 10 people are sitting at a table…

When Russian citizens understand there are direct consequences to them, Russian citizens stop supporting Putin’s actions.

Personally I’m glad the sanctions have some bite. You can’t expect to just keep living your life as you wish when your country is obliterating its neighbors and disrupting stability worldwide.

Usenet or Fidonet would be a more apt comparison

If you think of low frequencies as “red” and high frequencies as “blue”, corresponding to the range of the visible light spectrum, then pink noise has more “red” and less “blue”; white noise has equal amounts of all frequencies, etc.

yeah, communities should have subject tag sets. I don’t care for anime or sports or video games - i should be able to turn off those tags. Not block 50 different game communities ad hoc

Surge suppressors do not drop extra voltage to ground. They selectively short out surges between whatever two conductors have a high potential between them.

No ground conductor means there cannot be a high potential between it and anything else!

A battery (or transformer secondary) has two terminals - neither is “ground”, and electricity will flow between them if a circuit is formed.

Often, one terminal of a battery or transformer is connected to a ground stake, so it’s possible for ground to become part of the circuit. But ground is not any kind of natural destination for electricity. (Other than lightning, which is a result of a charge forming between the earth and the clouds)

it doesn’t “find” the path of least resistance. It takes (flows along) all possible paths simultaneously. If you connect two wires in parallel between the terminals of a battery, one of which is thick (resistance) and one of which is thin (high resistance), current will flow along both.

What? No. Electricity takes all conductive paths through a circuit simultaneously, with a current in inverse proportion to the path resistance. Ground means nothing unless it somehow makes up a part of the circuit - it is neither a “sink” nor “zero” for electricity. It’s just dirt.

Calling people “resources” and the mindset that delivery teams are just a number that you can spend money to increase is a mark of poor project and personnel management, as well.

Why should no one be touching it? You’re basically forcing manually communicated sync/check points on a system that was designed to ameliorate those bottlenecks

If “we work in a way that only one person can commit to a feature”, you may be missing the point of collaborative distributed development.

Never use rebase for any branch that has left your machine (been pushed) and which another entity may have a local copy of (especially if that entity may have committed edits to it).

Not just calls to self - any time a function’s last operation is to call another function and return its result (a tail call), tail call elimination can convert it to a goto/jump.

Have you tried Scala.js ?

FYI, banks do run exactly this type of analysis inside their own system to get around not being able to share your account activity.

honestly, I don’t want established Reddit supermods land grabbing topics in the Fediverse. The right people will find it organically based on their own motivation (as simple as searching for “reddit alternatives”).

Especially don’t want the shallow, low-quality content from default/“top” subreddits.

One thing that I learned recently from the Modern MBA YouTube channel, is that these fast food brands don’t run stores – they primarily charge franchise/royalty fees, and the store operators/franchisees see a significantly different and lower-profit-margin situation.

“McDonalds Corporation” is not where these expenses accrue.

“prove it wrong”? “as we’re told”? Do you start conversations this way?

Bro, if you don’t like it you don’t have to use it.
