The "evidence" is that it was not in his will. Where do you think we should draw the line on what could be called a Nobel price? It is not like Alfred Nobel did not understand econ…

Google left China, Apple crashes your phone when you get a Taiwanese flag (in China), who cares about privacy? Never Apple. Apple only cares about your money. If you care about pri…

Generics are useful all the time. That is why Go has generic Maps and slices. The question is why I am not allowed to use other generic collections.

I can not create a really mean example because Go is Turing complete. That means that everything can (with a few extra lines) be expressed in Go. The problem with your mutex soluti…

If you value compile times (and you actually think generics make a difference, I do not) you would not make slices and hash tables generic like in Go, would you? If you wanted a si…

You can not have a custom collection class containing objects _only_ of a certain type. For example ConcurrentHashTable . That is something that is used every single day. It is use…

I think it is quite easy. If you have a relationship with someone and having a "position of authority", the simple solution is to get rid of the "position of authority", let your l…

They sold your data to Google. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/14/google-paying-apple-3-billio...

If the hardware is done correctly, and used correctly. Previous Secure Enclave on iphones did not work even though Apple and its user said it was secure. Why trust them now?

But we do not know if it works, do we? Previous implementations have been crippled in ways that suggests that it could have been done on purpose. Limit the password to few characte…

The single party government. Google "democracy Poland".

I am not defensive, even though it might sound so, you see I am not German, in fact, my grandfather did flee Nazi Germany. I believe they deserve credit for how they are handling t…

Japan lost the war, yet they still can not educate their population about the horrors performed in Korea and China. They pretend nothing happened. That kind of response does not fo…

Poland, Greece and other states that have _huge_ internal problems does use the Nazi trick---not that surprising. Its a clear sign that something is not working correctly in their …

Nah, that is only the character position sets to change, you also have to permutate the characters (which would be 2^(4*8) if we consider byte characters) Or did I misunderstand yo…

You can permutate all possible character positions for combinations of four changed characters, and for _each_ permutation permutate all four characters and then compare the hash, …

A static method can of course mutate an object of the same class (give the object as an argument (direct or indirect) or use a static variable of the class) I can not see how they …

If you read your own link you will realize that the highest rate of sterilization for eugenic reasons where during the second world war. This point is _unusual_ in Swedish 20th cen…

At work PCs just work. Macs can not print and a colleague of mine is a forced email printer for the UX people that _think_ they must use hardware they do not know how to use. All t…

I would pay _more_ for a Linux laptop than a Mac if I _had_ to. It is a matter of taste and also what you are used to. I have the choice not to use KDE and Gnome and choose xmonad …

G2 seems to still get updates if you install LineageOS. My Note2 works beautifully. It is a pity that you have to install it yourself though. On Apple you get updates for as little…

Interesting, I have disliked celery during my childhood, but I like it now :-) Though, I have always thought (and still think) celery has a peculiar and quite strong taste. Lettuce…

Where does the recursion end? Should Catalonia accept independence from pockets where the majority wants to be Spanish?

So if they succeed to split would you call it tyranny not to let pockets of Castilian speaking minority areas in Catalonia claim independence? Maybe joining Spain? Where would this…
