The Bell's Inequalities are a test for the capacity for inductive reasoning of the pupil. If the pupil succeed he is not to be admitted to join the ranks of quantum physicist.

You usually show a pupil the problem with classical probabilities, and show that you can't violate Bell's Inequalities, then you show that Quantum Mechanics managed to replicated the observed probabilities using a non-local way, and therefore you conclude that the world is non-local.

But this logic doesn't stand. You need to use inductive reasoning to see it through. Ask yourself the question, what change would it take to your theory to make it local and still replicate the observed probabilities (and still look reasonable).

Solve the riddle (it's quite beautiful once you see it :) ) and you will be rewarded with the awesome title of crackpot physicist, pitted against other dubious crackpot physicist each convinced their loopholes are the ones and only.

Even amongst those numbers, .NET itself is a pretty small fraction of the overall dev community. I'm not sure why you're posturing as though it's some huge majority.

>it affects the poorest and least technically literate in society disproportionately.

Why does it affect the poorest disproportionately?
That still needs discipline though - or you end up with N half-finished Confluence pages describing the intention behind the design, all of which are now out of date (and naturally in completely different places). The best way I've seen to keep track of changing things is to have the design linked to the ticket somehow (and if it's a link, then that needs to be a permalink to something that will not go away in a year's time).
If the MBA-management class wanted good software they wouldn't be so short sighted, but it's all about the pump-and-dump right now.
A friend of mine (with an autistic child) explained it as:

If you give your kid a strawberry - even within the punnet the tastes and textures will vary - even mid summer some will be unpleasantly tart.

If I make a sandwich it will be mildly different one day to the next, depending on the freshness of the items I put in, the brand of the ham, the spread, the bread.

But junk food will ALWAYS BE THE SAME. If surprise and novelty is an issue for you/your child, then eating food like that removes so much stress for everyone involved. Yes it isn't healthy, but the meal gets eaten and no one cries.
I know for sure it’s in the US, but I’ve heard stories of people intentionally making a nuisance out of paying debts in cash in a lot of countries.
I don’t think what you’re saying is true. Everything I’m finding online says British shops are free to accept foreign currency (I would imagine lots of shops near the Irish border accept euros for example).
I thought this was a joke comment but I went back after reading the comments and it’s now on the second page already.
> The other side of the coin is for apps that are already listed in the Play Store, does side loading have any legitimate use cases other than piracy and IP theft?

Yes - bypassing incorrect assumptions.

For example, a US company I worked for at a non-US office (imagine it was e.g. Google Japan) gave most employees a corporate credit card. Citibank made it impossible to download their app through the Play Store from the country in question, even though it was required to use it. Only option was to sideload it.

This kind of thing has happened on other occasions as well.
The other answer about magnetostriction is technically correct (the best kind) but Misses the actual cause, which is subharmonic oscillation. This occurs when you have not stabilized your control loop properly and is often the result of inadequate phase margin. A simple fix may be to allow the control bandwidth by increasing capacitance at the work amplifier output. But this may also make the response too slow.

For most people designing DCDC converters, this is the most difficult part to understand and correctly tune. If you get the parts selection right and carefully lay out the circuit, this is the one that they can't get right. It takes some understanding of control theory or careful testing and tweaking. And it's what drives a lot of folk to the expensive and relatively inflexible power modules.

I personally wouldn't but I have a leaning towards foss tools where possible, currently using godot, blender and gimp, my gamedev holy trinity.

Godot is good enough for a lot of 3d games especially if you have stylised art that doesn't need the highest fidelity rendering.

If I was trying to make a high production, high realism, commercial 3d game I would probably look at Unreal engine over Unity because I think the former is better but also Unity have shown they're willing test the limits of money extraction from their licensees, Unreal so far haven't pulled any similar nonsense as far as I'm aware.

Since the ruling has already been made I doubt they can avoid it other than by exiting the EU market altogether.

The vehicle example doesn't make sense (start engine? At most, a notification from a rented vehicle to the server that the engine has been started, which is simply not going to arrive from a bicycle).

The shopping cart example is dangerous because it looks reasonable. Actually, the removal methods define atomic operations, so they are a big deal from an architectural point of view: can the cart change while we are testing elements for removal? Can the predicates look at other elements of the cart? Self-contained special case operations might be a more correct choice after all.
There are several possible reasons:

1. People who are "less well off" (i.e. poor) often can't get a credit card, because they've failed to pay off their balance on credit cards in the past, and their credit is shot.

2. Paying for things in cash is an effective budgeting technique. When you run out of your "spending money" (i.e. money not set aside for bills and necessities), then you can't spend any more, because you literally have no more money in your wallet.

3. Many poor people don't have bank accounts (possibly to avoid overdraft fees, and possibly because they don't trust banks), so they cash all their checks and pay for everything in cash.

4. In general, they tend to use check cashing places instead, feeling that the benefit of having a bank account isn't worth the hassle when they make so little money. & Even honest one-off jobs may pay in cash.

The situation is going to be different for different people, but it's often some combination of the above.

As an addition, if you first try to write the code one way, and then it doesn't work and you need a second approach, that's a really good indication that you want some kind of comment there. You were surprised while writing it, so if you'll forget that surprise in a year, you'll be surprised by reading it too.
IANAL, this is what I've heard, open to criticism:

Legal tender in UK legally only affects repayment of debts: they are obliged to accept legal tender for repayment of a debt, within reason. So you can always pay by cash e.g. if you eat in a restaurant, legally, as you are indebted to them after eating your meal; although they don't need to make it easy, you'll have to have a day in court to enforce this in practice.

Nobody's obliged to offer goods for cash, so you have no obligations in a shop, unless they gave it to you on credit.

For me database structure should be built with decent flexibility, everything else is easier to refactor in the future when needed and best to keep simple unless it is a pattern you have definite experience with in the past and it is basically no cost and high certainty of working out.

I hear YAGNIs when I know a pattern from experience with past projects even though deep down I know it is not that high effort due to past experience and we will need it.

I hate hearing YAGNIs when it is something I specifically have had experience with in the past and they think it is too complex because they haven't done it.

And they won't get it because they haven't gone through it.

It's okay. It can handle some boilerplate for me. For example, the stuff you have to do to make a bridge in electron between renderer and main. I'd say it's better than co-pilot though. I asked it to pull up some state and it could do that correct sometimes. If I asked to it do something complicated it would just make stuff up and waste my time though.
As a counter example I'm old and I prefer the internet now to the 95-00s. The problem I had back then was there was a lot of potential but the content was mostly junk. There's a lot of great content now.

I mean two tier policing of the anti-immigration protestors vs the rioters two weeks or so earlier in Leeds, sparked by children of (I believe) Romanian travellers being taken into care.

You could also look at other examples - protestors against Israel's actions in Gaza doing nazi salutes, for instance, or singing anti-semitic songs.

The other canonnical example is during lockdown, the treatment given to women protesting the murder of Sarah Everard vs BLM protestors.
IF the code is self-explanatory, then the comments are redundant, and is ok to delete them. But from time to time, there are things that are at least not so obvious in the code. Then is good to leave a comment.

That is because the EU is not responsible for the member-states’ national laws, so they leave some room for different implementations. It’s on purpose.

That's not quite how it works. The EU makes binding legislation in three different forms. Regulations - such as the GDPR - apply directly in all member states. Directives are the indirect ones that establish a principle but require member states to implement their own laws to give direct effect to that principle. Finally there are decisions, which are binding on a specific party such as a company or member state.

You can read more about the different types of EU legislation at https://european-union.europa.eu/institutions-law-budget/law....

But the decision in this particular case wasn't (directly) any of those things. It was a ruling by the ECJ in a case brought by the Commission.

What is relevant is Irish law, which is clear and unambiguous. What was misleading was the behaviour of the Irish government.

But this is the problem. Tax systems are always complicated and open to interpretation in numerous ways. Large businesses are always required to make judgements about what they need to do to be in compliance with all of the relevant rules and always take advice from experts on these matters. What this action by the EU means is that businesses - including properly run businesses that have no intent to cheat anyone of anything - can no longer trust that following advice even from what should be the most authoritative sources they can ask will be sufficient.

They are not moving the goalposts.

The arrangements this legal saga has been about ran from the early 1990s for more than 20 years.

The EU started the legal action in 2016 when those arrangements had already ceased anyway and has spent about 8 years chasing it through the various courts and processes to reach this point.

If the IRS went after someone's tax filings from a year or two ago because they hadn't paid the correct tax that would be one thing. This is more like the IRS going after someone's tax filings from 30 years ago after allowing the arrangements to continue unchallenged with its full knowledge for a further 20 years and knowing that the the individual had already paid tax to another tax authority during that period instead because they weren't paying it to the IRS.

Except it's not really like that either because in this case it looks like it was the equivalent of the IRS that gave its blessing to the arrangements in the first place. So it's more analogous to some hypothetical higher authority coming along over 20 years after the fact and declaring that there was an error in someone's taxes that had been reported according to an agreement with the federal government and accepted by the IRS.

Yeah, I wonder how much of the long-standing Unix philosophy & consistency is lost by breaking with best practices. autotools seems to be written off by many younger (and non- C) developers and maintainers, but still, it would be good to stick to consistent conventions on that platform.

Well the tricky bit is that AFAIK most of these companies have or at least had a full product that was indeed FOSS but then have a cloud offering which is open core.

Provided that the open source product is a close-enough subset of the open core cloud offering I think it's fine to take the easy route of just calling yourself open source although it's certainly a gray area.

> Use Power+Signal / GND / GND / Power+Signal stackup.

I'm just a novice (maybe intermediate) so I'm wondering: the common 4-layer stackups available to hobbyists seem to be 1oz/0.5oz/0.5oz/1oz and I assume the outer layers have better thermal dissipation since they're only kept from the air by solder mask; so wouldn't it be better to put power/ground on the outer layers and keep signals in the middle?

Also maybe I'm weird and this is pointless but I typically put a filled copper zone tied to ground on every single layer, unless I have a reason to put some other kind of zone in a particular area. Is it necessary to have a full, dedicated ground plane, rather than ground + signal or ground + power?
