Depends. Did you talk them into suicidal ideation beforehand?

That’s great and all, but how does any of that justify an invasion?

What you’re doing here is whataboutism. You don’t address the actual problem, instead you’re derailing the discussion.

Are you two really naive enough to assume that Russia will respect a peace agreement?

Russia attacked several countries against international law, and Ukraine already had security guarantees from the US and UK following its voluntary surrender of their nuclear weapons.

International law and security guarantees meant fuck all when Russia invaded in 2014, and about as much in 2022.

Why do you think, Russia would respect agreements this time? They made their intentions very very clear.

…and because the older plants are simply written off already. If you already recouped the building costs, you can charge based on just the running cost.

That’s a shitty argument. The alternative is a windmill, not a coal powerplant.

Batteries can be made from literal saltwater nowadays.

Otherwise, lithium mining is certainly not exactly good for the environment, but can be managed. Uranium (even the non-fissile) is pretty toxic and can contaminate the whole area.

Ten years? More like twenty. Hinkley point C was started in 2013, supposed to be finished 2023. This year the estimation was corrected to 2029-2031.

No.

Debian takes a few clicks and you have a working desktop.

And how difficult is it to keep it debloated? MS seems to be hellbent on pushing their crap into everyone’s face.

I’m still convinced Electron only exists because there’s a huge surplus of mediocre web devs.

Electron solves hardly any problem that QT, GTK or all those other UI frameworks didn’t already solve 20 years ago. But for QT you need at least a few developers with passing knowledge of something other than js and css. And those guys are expensive.

OR, it is a huge conspiracy by Micron et al to increase demand for memory modules.

Because you don’t know what you’ll need that wrapper beforehand, that’s my entire point.

Unless you’re only doing trivial changes, the chances are very high that you won’t be able to design the class structure. Or, you end up essentially writing the code to be able to write the tests, which kind of defeats the purpose.

If you have to ask “can’t you just” the answer is almost always no.

And who actually writes tests like that?

I mean, do you think tests do the calculations again? You simply have well defined input and known, static output. That’s it.

Tests first is only good in theory.

Unit tests typically test rather fine grained, but coming up with the structure of the grain is 80% of the work. Often enough you end up with code that’s structured differently than initially thought, because it turns out that this one class needs to be wrapped, and this annotation doesn’t play nice with the other one when used on the same class, etc etc.

Especially then I’d test the shit out of everything? I’m getting paid for writing correct software.

For local development, it should be super quick. However, I’m currently building a small project where a device (or rather the library using it) can’t really be used with a debugger. So 500 print()s it is.

It’s wild to me, that there seem to be so many payment schemes.

In Germany you get paid monthly, either always on the first or always 15th, but that’s pretty much all variation we have. Even unemployment benefits and parental leave support is monthly.

It’s just a question of time. Every platform will devolve into either obscurity or cesspool.

Learning from a history and putting on a pseudopatriotic show to paint over any responsibility is not quite the same.

The US killed literally one or two orders of magnitude more civilians in retaliation for 9/11 and still acts like it was the second largest tragedy in the history of mankind, only slightly below the Holocaust.

Yes, 3000 victims is really bad, but what the US is doing about it is pathetic. It’s a simulacrum.

There’s more airport security, alright. But is that really that much of a change?

Especially if you consider how much of the security theater was added well after 9/11, because of other incidents.
