    I don't think I've ever made a point that PL (and earlier PL-LI commonwealth) had a stellar record of treatment of minority nationalities in its borders. Could you clarify with whi…

    It had authoritarianism (with many democratic elements in place) since 1926 (way way more liberal than that of Soviet Union, or Nazi Germany). Before that it was fully democratic (…

    Polish borders as of 1918 are here - https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historia_Polski_(1918%E2%80%93... Soviet Union decided to attack, it lost the war, it had to ceede territory.

    - In 1918, borders of Poland were established on the future Curzon line (more or less, less in fact) - https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historia_Polski_(1918%E2%80%93... - The territo…

    I've already condemened it. PS: I like sharp counterarguments, but I guess it cannot go as "P1: We did wrong! P2: What about that time you did wrong?"

    Polish government went exile after the Soviets invaded. PS: In 1919, it was USSR who fought the war on Polish ground, and lost. I don't think you'll find too much material to play …

    That's something both Polish and international historians condemn, and there's no serious justification of this act, not in maintream Polish history books, nor on Wikipedia (descri…

    A digression: in effect of the secret protocol being signed, then-USSR attacked Poland on 17-th of September 1939 (co-starting the 2WW, together with Germany). Wikipedia articles d…

    Hi, > I mean, linker tricks à la LD_PRELOAD, DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES are a lot less work than rewriting code. They don't even require a recompile most of the time. Thanks. Also, simp…

    Hi, Thanks for those ideas - some early comments on those below: > symbols could just be all prefixed IMO, this wouldn't be conceptually different from how it works now - i.e. call…

    Hi, one of the authors here. The sandboxed library is indeed exec'd (it's a separate binary), so the only "secrets" that leak into it, are those which are already there - compiled …

    Hi, one of the authors here. It'd most likely lead to symbol conflicts, if you'd like to both use the sandboxed library, and the original (unsandboxed) one, even for constants / de…

    The thing about Lem is that he was reading a lot (I mean, a lot) of scientific journals and later scientific papers (in an interview with him he mentions Soviet "Priroda", "Scienti…

    Oh man, Asimov was so bad with futuristic ideas. If you'd like to read good thoughts about future, go for Stanislaw Lem (Summa Technologiae, Golem XIV)
