- Comment on Are the research projects for long-term storage already deployed? 4 weeks ago:
Thousands is not that difficult. Paper lasts for thousands of years under the right conditions. Millions is a whole different game. That’s significantly longer than humanity has existed It’s not just about the material, it’s also about not losing the ability to read the contents. There are texts less than 5000 years old whoch we cannot read anymore.

No, just heat death of the planet
- Comment on People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like? 4 weeks ago:
Sounds like people have been put in positions which do not fit their skills. This should be fixed by either developing their skills or putting them in a position that fits their abilities, not by other people doing their job for them in person.

If you need a god to tell right from wrong then you might be a psychopath.

I completely agree! I would then ask that the CEO force his bootlickers back into the office, but leave everyone else alone. It’s not like he would ever degrade himself as to speak to the unwashed peasantry that is the employees.
- Comment on People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like? 5 weeks ago:
Not emails, conversations.
Do you believe such conversations are impossible by telephone?

Why do they have to?
- Comment on People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like? 5 weeks ago:
There was no discussion. The CEO likes it this way. His bootlickers invented a bunch of bullshit justifications in order to make the RTO rules seem to jave reasons, but there isn’t one other than the CEO likes it this way.
People have tried to discuss it reasonably but it has become clear that it is an emotional matter for the CEO and discussing it like adults is not possible.

Webdev not knowing anything about computer science (and thus mathematics)? I am shocked. Shocked!

Yes but everyone knows physicists like weird notations

Cannot confirm, we always used i.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 1 month ago:
Because China doesn’t want anyone to.
- Comment on Are display sizes always measured in inches? 1 month ago:
It’s usually marked in both inches and centimetres, but most people are more familiar with the inch-based size. I don’t know why. Perhaps it’s because the USA is/was so dominant in the computer and mobile phone industry. It’s the same with car tyres, for some reason their size is given in inches as well.

- Comment on I don't like to brag, but 2 months ago:
Interesting fact, this is one area where the USA and Europe have a very large cultural difference. In Europe, people are themselves at work, they don’t have a work persona like in the USA.

You can’t learn C++. Some parts of it maybe.
- Comment on Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouse 2 months ago:
Not true. They use the same model, executing compiled bytecode. It just feels like directly running a script because Python compiles it to bytecode on the fly, and because it is embarrassingly slow.
- Comment on Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouse 2 months ago:
C++ is a monster. I’d suggest C instead to learn about these basic ideas.

Kotlin is now the language of choice for Android.

Oh right. My mistake. I guess when it comes to art then anything that isn’t obviously a child is technically legal, if distasteful and morally more than questionable. At least that is the legal situation in most countries.
My objective is the minimisation of harm. If someone uses artwork and that means that they will never touch an underage person then that is a good thing even though I may not like it.
- Comment on Spread of sexual deepfake images created by generative AI growing in Japan 2 months ago:
Adults. Where I am from the word adult only has one meaning. An adult is a person of 18 years of age at the very least.
You said “mature looking” for which a 16 year old person might qualify depending on the exact interpretation which is not ok. It doesn’t matter what they look like, it matters whether they are an adult or not. Going for looks reminds me of creeps going “he/she is so mature for his/her age”. That is not ok.
- Comment on how do I stop being a sucker for alcoholic stuff on sale? 2 months ago:
Try putting the 6 pack in the cellar or attic and only one in the fridge. That way you only see the one. After having drank that one it will annoy you to climb stairs to get another room temperature one so you won’t.
You might also consider seeking professional help. You aren’t an alcoholic, but you will be if you keep this up. Alcohol is a terrible drug and one of the worst possible addictions to have. It’s like heroin, but worse because unlike heroin it’s available everywhere all the time, so staying sober is so much harder.
In my country there is a supermarket chain that doesn’t sell alcohol at all (nor cigarettes). If you jhae something like that then maybe go shopping there to reduce the temptation.

Or how about just adults.
