That seems overkill

Doesn’t matter, the point is that, if it starts with “is” then you automatically know it’s a boolean.

If you have time then try working out and doing sports. It sounds asinine, but I’ve found that exerting yourself increases your levels of energy in the long term. Even something small, a little bit at a time will be greatly beneficial. Also try doing it with someone else and try having an active social life that will motivate you to go out of the house and stop spending all the evening alone on the couch watching YouTube (which is really detrimental, ask me how I know it).

Like the Romans said “mens sana in corpore sano” (you need a healthy body to have a healthy mind)

bit, Nibble, Byte, Word, doubleword, longword, quadword, double-quadword, verylongword, halfword

They check all Imperial criteria:

• confusing names
• some used only in some systems
• size depends on where you are
• some may overlap
• doesn’t manage to cover all the possible needs, but do you really need more than 64 bits?
• would probably cause you to crash a rocket

The number of job applications using Java as a shorthand for Javascript…

Yes, but I’m not sure if we want to open the “programming language can of worms”.

There’s B, C, C++, C#, Objective-C, D, E, F, F#, F* and so many more. Also, they may or may not have anything to do with each other

That’s not what a Sport Utility Vehicle is for. An SUV’s purpose is just to show off

Here in Italy the FIAT 500 was the first “family car” and was less than 3 meters long, the FIAT 500 Giardiniera was the station wagon version and it was 3.1 meters long. If you look at an old 500 now, you’d wonder how would a human fit inside.

Today’s average SUV is over 4 meters long, with some going over 5 meters. In Japan there are Kei cars used as trucks, people movers, vans etc. The fact that you need a Jeep compass to be able to pick up your kid from school is absurd

Not all christians recognize the Pope. It’s like asking why the patriarch of Constantinople or the patriarch of Moscow didn’t comment on the news.

Ok, I’m a c# developer and I use async await quite extensively. Is it different in JS? Or am I missing something?

Why would he think he could cover that up by tossing his gun?

He’s 15, just shot his little brother, saw his sister die and is freaking the fuck out.

But yeah, he should have been better at pondering the ramifications of his actions 🧐

Working on it doesn’t mean they have something even remotely functional.

Btw, shouldn’t they be working on 5nm before 3nm? I’m also not sure how many 7nm chips they can produce. Have they made anything other than that one chip for Huawei? Has that been sold anywhere in the world other than China? Is that phone common in China?

Because 42

This is completely retarded, therefore, probably, what the most fundamentalist Christians actually think. Although I’m pretty sure most Christians around the world don’t actually give a fuck about Zionism

This sentence is so generic it could be applied to both sides, depending on what’s your opinion of either side.

I mean, this is the same country who walled off an entire city to stop people from leaving. This is not really surprising

They have a complex system on how to channel work by prohibiting living-, healthcare- and pensions-systems to citizens based on their location and citizens need to apply for changes to these systems to be able to work in other regions.

This is called indentured servitude, it was common in feudal societies.

BTW, you should add a new line between points to have proper formatting

Still, you can’t question the authority of the Pope and call yourself a Catholic, it’s impossible for the Catholic Church

Some people are lucky that today’s popes don’t act like the popes of the olden days.

BTW, which one was the last true Pope in theory eyes? I bet it’s the fascist one

I never said they didn’t win the civil war, although they did try to take Taiwan during the civil war, when the KMT fled mainland China, and just failed. In the battle of Guningtou the PRC tried to take the small islands right on the shores of mainland China, much much closer than Formosa, and got defeated right there. For context the islands of Kinmen are just 10km away from mainland China, and 190km away from Taiwan. Amphibious attacks are fucking hard, I tell you. Way harder than you think.

Russia was thought to have the second most powerful army in the world, and to some respects they did, yet they got bogged down in Ukraine, lost organization and just got stuck in a shit position while losing hundreds of thousands of men and equipment. And Ukraine is a flat terrain with hundreds of km of frontline, it’s not a bottleneck 200km away from shore with no logistics support.

To pull off an amphibious attack of this magnitude you’d probably need 5 to 10 times the military prowess of the enemy and impeccable organization and logistics, plus complete control of the skies. Right now China cannot simply waltz in and take it, it would be a brutal war with millions of deaths, untold destruction on both sides and a possible escalation to a world war (too many countries rely on Taiwans and Chinese microchips for way too many things).

China could have invaded Taiwan ages ago and won very swiftly

I’m just refuting this claim, nothing more. I’m not saying the Chinese army isn’t powerful or doesn’t have huge numbers. Actually, I’m saying it is, which is why Taiwan, Japan and SK are rearming themselves at breakneck pace. To deter a possible act of aggression from a country that keeps building up their military and keeps talking about invading.
