Building a port facility in hostile territory from the sea is the kind of d-day scenario that the US military will train for and have some kind of plan for. I don’t know how the 60 day figure came to be, but that’s almost certainly not how long it takes to actually construct a usable facility once the resources have been committed and are on the scene.
Doesn’t Ireland already have defensive pact status with a bunch of NATO members through the EU? If your fellow EU states are being attacked, can you really stay out?
How reliable is this actually? There are a millions reasons for me to fake which is and web browser in using.
Shouldn’t this effect cause Linux use to be under reported? That is, the real percentage would be higher than 4%?
I would pretty strongly expect significant correlation between people who spoof their user agent and Linux users.
In the one soundbite I heard, it definitely sounded like she was more enthusiastic about one part than another part. So that checks out, I guess.
It’s not git that’s complicated. The work is complicated. git is just one of the tools that programmers use to manage the complexity.
I also think that some people get too hung up on having a “clean” history, and trying to “fix” the history after it has already occurred. I usually have enough problems to worry about in the present, without also trying to worry about the past.
Yeah, I think that guy only got a superficial understanding of what Uncle Bob was saying.
My policy as a tech lead is this: In an ideal world, you don’t need the comment because the names and the flow are good. But when you do need the comments, you usually really need those comments. Anything that’s surprising, unusual, or possibly difficult to understand gets comments. Because sometimes the world is not ideal, and we don’t have the time or energy to fully express our ideas clearly in code.
My policy on SCM logs is that they should be geared more towards why this commit is going in, not what is being done. And what other tickets, stories, bugs it relates to.
It’s also possible for a particular lightbulb to be expensive to replace because it’s in an awkward location, and takes hours of labor to gain access, or really specialized tools and equipment.
Not saying that happened here. But it’s certainly conceivable.
NATO question here: if (purely as an example) Poland joins the war in Ukraine, do they give up Article V protection if somebody like Russia later makes territorial gains into Poland in the same war?
The veto and permanent seats are there to keep the superpowers in the UN organization. If you take away the veto, then US, Russia, etc would probably just say they don’t recognize the authority of the security council, and then go do their own thing.
This veto mechanic kept the US and USSR in the room and at least talking to each other throughout the entire cold war. That’s gotta be worth something.
Operation Praying Mantis, I believe.
I don’t think this is an accurate view of the current border situation, but it’s a view that one might have consuming media from a different kind of media bubble than the Fox News kind.
There really is a situation with migrants who cross the river illegally and immediately turn themselves in and claim asylum. This isn’t a new situation, but the numbers have gotten worse over the last year.
The migrant caravans, plural, really did and do exist. What tends to happen is they gather into thousands strong mass marches in and around Tapachula, after crossing from Guatemala to Mexico. So these big marches start towards the US in southern Mexico, but they tend to break up and thin out over the 1800 mile journey to Texas.
If anyone could organize a mass foot march over the whole distance, that would be an extremely impressive feat of logistics. But that hasn’t happened yet.
Conclusions: this border situation is not completely made up. Many right wing conspiracies going around have some kind of kernel of truth to then.
And some mainstream media outlets (I have this experience with NPR in particular) have started to seemingly impose total blackouts on not just the conspiracy ideas, but also on the little nuggets of true news that get them started.
To be fair, they probably spent a decade or more planning, designing, building, launching, and completing the actual sample return. Once the actual samples are safely in the lab, I’m sure there are no deadlines whatsoever. Take whatever time it takes to do it right.
Even if they’re currently shipping some LGPL components, they may want to prevent new LGPL components from being added if they eventually want to be LGPL-free in the future.
I don’t think that’s the case for this specific package of 155 mm shell accessories.
I could be wrong.
I think part of the difference is that Israel is a paying customer on that last deal.
That makes a lot more sense. Thanks.
That is a wildly morbid slogan.
When I started working in 2011, we had a file share we published documents to called “word processing”. It was called that because the one file share was the only remains of the previous word processing department, which was presumably staffed by word processors.
They weren’t any dumber or smarter than we are today. They just didn’t have the preexisting base of scientific research. If you study the history of science, which is fascinating, you will find a fundamental truth: essentially every major advance or discovery in any field of science is made after carefully studying the records of everything they has come before.
This base of knowledge builds on itself exponentially over time. Now, you can get it all in Google scholar and scihub.
Israel is a long ways away from the Caribbean and central America, where the CIA had the most success with that stuff, thanks to the Monroe doctrine.
I don’t think it’s that easy to get what you want in the Middle East.
