I also can't believe the big bad USA has turned the Baltic states, Poland, Ukraine, etc on Russia. It's because the media is just too weak in Russia, China, Iran, North Korea so they haven't been able to communicate their upstanding values clearly enough.

I really don't understand this framing of liberals as becoming pro-war. The opposite of pro-war is not nonresistance, in the same way the opposite of pro-murder wouldn't be anti-self-defense. There is no inconsistency in being against the invasion of Iraq and being against the invasion of Ukraine.

Please. Read through his twitter. ZERO pushback on the mountain of bullshit coming from people like Tucker and Trump, ZERO pushback on pretty much everything Russia is doing. He has vastly different standards for the RNC and DNC. Not a peep about election denial becoming a mainstream conspiracy theory in the GOP - but don't worry, no shortage of Russiagate complaints. I can only assume that he believes that as a counterweight to MSNBC (?) he can just completely ignore these, but in reality it makes him come off as a hack.

Look at this: https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1666559102527389699. Tucker is a "US elite" by any reasonable definition (except if you're using it as generic right-wing boogeyman)... in that case why not mention Tucker claims, with no evidence, that Ukraine destroyed the dam?

There's really no need to listen. Everyone knows his shtick. I didn't listen but can almost certainly summarize what he said: Woke woke woke blah blah blah mickey mouse and the cartels are grooming your children into transgender drug mules

Idk typing +1 seems easy enough... 1:N == union(1:(N÷2), (N÷2+1):N).

But really, these discussions are funny to me - each side pretending their convention is how God intended indexing to be done. You see it's naturally composable because N/2 shows up twice, which is really the perfect amount of times to show up, and as you recall I just defined composable in that way (not to mention it matches the fact that N/2 occurs twice in [0, N)!)

Little do Julia fans know they're missing out on gems like range(n - 1, -1, -1).

The colon is a bit overused (ranges, ternary, quoting), but this would be pretty clear with parentheses and spacing, i.e. ex.head == :(.) and ex.head == :(call). Now you can see it's a comparison against the symbols '.' and 'call'. Kind of like saying C has too many weird character combinations because there's a "--> operator".

Yes the real injustice is that women don't want to participate in the violence that has been perpetrated almost entirely by men since the dawn of time

That should be a valloc or aligned_alloc for it to actually be page-aligned

No worries, that's definitely a reasonable impression since there are way more postgrads than undergrads. I just wanted to point out that undergrads are allowed to participate in the 'action'. But of course there is the occasional bad class (Peter Shor is not that good at teaching Shor's algorithm).

Yes usually blackboard or slides. Sometimes iPad + stylus.

The undergrads are more involved with research than at most other schools (huge range in quality/difficulty/etc, but the option is there). The teaching quality doesn't really suffer from the focus on research. Blackboard style classes probably aren't much better than any other school, but lab classes were quite good.

As someone who knows nothing about this stuff, I'm looking at the "Data Mart" wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_mart. Ok, so the entire diagram here is labelled "Data Warehouse", and within that there's a "Data Warehouse" block which seems to be solely comprised of a "Data Vault". Do you need a special data key to get into the data vault in the data warehouse? Okay, naturally the data marts are divided into normal marts and strategic marts - seems smart. But all the arrows between everything are labelled "ETL". Seems redundant. What does it mean anyway? Ok apparently it's just... moving data.

Now I look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_analytical_processing. What's that? First sentence: "is an approach to answer multi-dimensional analytical (MDA)". I click through to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional_analysis ... MDA "is a data analysis process that groups data into two categories: data dimensions and measurements". What the fuck? Who wrote this? Alright, back on the OLAP wiki page... "The measures are placed at the intersections of the hypercube, which is spanned by the dimensions as a vector space." Ah yes, the intersections... why not keep math out of it if you have no idea how to talk about it? Also, there's no actual mention of why this is considered "online" in the first place. I feel like I'm in a nightmare where the pandas documentation was rewritten in MBA-speak.

Yeah, this is why I can’t take you guys seriously. You take something completely reasonable: researching something that has been publicly proposed for decades and you jumped to loading it with shit like “openly admitting”. Let’s see this preponderance of evidence lol.

First they were "likely" doing it. Now they've "clearly" been doing it. But lo and behold, after fooling stupid normies for decades they're ready to announce their doomsday device to the public because......? Were the coherent ones who could look up patents ready to drop some truth bombs on the public?

This has gotta be satire

Literally you in a sibling comment:
