Interesting read but I’d argue a fish is a concept by characteristics, not considered a biological classification. Much like mammals.
Fish: has scales and fins and a swim bladder and gills. Sharks are not easy to classify as fish, and whales certainly are not.
Again, thanks for the article, it was interesting to read indeed.
I was thinking figuratively of the UK as a person, and of persons as bipeds…
Because the amount of organizations needing data backups / protection far exceeds the amount of available qualified IT personnel. So instead of training themselves, they hire morons who say “sure I can do your IT”
german people have large privacy and date security fears. This has kept them off of many other platforms. Most people in my friends circle never had a MySpace / Facebook… Being in an anonymous space like here is nice.
While this is true for me(*) - partially, it’s not a fear, it’s a certainty that my data is not secure anywhere online - I would be positively surprised (but kind of doubt that) if younger people actually think consciously about their online privacy.
* never had myspace, deleted all my facebook posts, comments, contacts & then account in 2012 when they changed the terms & conditions to own everything you upload - and before then I had never used my real last name there
ah right - forgot UK still has one foot in the medieval ;) thanks for the clarification!
CPS is? City Prosecutor … ??
as to 1) - that’s judged differently in Germany - in part to protect victims of domestic violence who will often “change their mind and not want to” press charges after filing an initial report.
in that case, yes - but again, if it’s a criminal offense, the victim has an obligation to testify, even if they have no interest
I have no idea how the funding of our judicial branch looks like atm
Assuming the only evidence for physical assault isn’t just the victims statements (but even then), I feel that both crimes are currently being ignored.
To go back to the example of Germany: If you accuse someone of a crime (directed against your physical well-being or property) here, towards authorities (e.g. police) and then say “but I don’t want to press charges”, that no longer matters - they are obliged to record a report of a potential criminal offense and leave it to a judge to decide on how to proceed.
I guess I should have clarified in my original comment that I was exaggerating - obviously, C++ doesn’t get as bad as python, not even into the same ballpark.
My emphasis was on “don’t use C++ like you would python” because that’s not good advice imo.
Importing CSV into SQL is trivial and gives you far more control than Excel can.
Not quite, but smart pointers in the wrong location can be quite wasteful in terms of CPU cycles.
There’s a tool for a given job. And for some, Excel may be decent. But for many, MS Access used to be far superior to Excel. Not sure if it is still maintained well, as I no longer use MicroShit
But, if you’re a power user doing a lot of complex data analytics, Excel is still the king.
Only if you refuse to learn SQL and do everything in a fraction of the time with way more functionality.
That’s a cuttlefish though, and despite the name is not a fish.
So, basically, use it like you would use Python.
That’s a great way to get performance as shitty as python’s.
Isn’t having knowledge of a felony enough for a public prosecutor to indict someone independent of the victim?
That’s how it works in Germany at least - if the authorities get information about a criminal offense, they are obliged to start a criminal investigation. A victim not pressing charges only matters in terms of a civil lawsuit.
Don’t waste my time with your bigotry and shortsighted dumb comments.
Palestinians don’t accept that the borders change and still want all of Israel.
“Palestinians” here is a useless generalization, because it lacks a quantifier. Certainly some do, and just as certainly not all do.
You underestimate the amount of brainwashing going on. When two people brought up in entirely different parts of the world, all other circumstances identical, are exposed to two completely different systems - they can often believe opposite things to be true, despite no person being intrinsically more or less good or bad than the other.
Also, generalization is a BIG problem the moment you use it as prejudice against individuals before knowing them. As a matter of fact, judging individuals based on generalizations is - the moment the generalization is applied to an ethnicity - equal to racism.
I meant that thanks to abstract art we’re willing to forgive “image glitches” in art by deep learning models.
If you support fascists, you are a fascist. Period.
