and even a tetragraph: szcz=щ

Actually, for most of its existence, Cyrillic has had a θ (theta) like in Greek, used only in loanwords and pronounced either as ф (f) or т (t) because the th sound is not part of Slavic phonetics. θ was dropped fairly recently - in the 20th century.

If opposition to the Euro is so massive, can't they simply hold a referendum over it?

Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are easy - they go in alphabetical order from north to south.

By default git diff works on entire lines, but try this:

    git diff --word-diff=color --word-diff-regex=.

It highlights only the parts that have actually been changed/added/deleted.

If the title says it's the CIA's "turn", then of course the article should be expected to draw a parallel with similar events in the past.

There are no proofs in science. It's probabilistic reasoning, which is the best we can do when studying nature.

Yes, it presupposes the principles you mentioned.

> What if scientists don't understand reason?

They do.

> Do they see science is subject to reason

Yes, the scientific method is a specific kind of probabilistic reasoning that works remarkably well in practice: you make a guess about how the world works, you design an experiment, and either reject the theory or not. You can only reject a theory, but never confirm it with absolute certainty. Theories that disagree with experiment are rubbish. Theories that pass the test of many experiments are believed to be true only with very high probability. Theories that can't be tested are outside the realm of science.

Thanks! For the record: I added the sentence after "No, thank you" after I got a few downvotes. And please don't call them idiotic. It might be they truly believe in the necessity of someone "managing" FOSS projects and their authors.

> product management, project management

No, thank you. FOSS developers are usually skilled and self-motivated engineers, so corporate-style control is unnecessary or harmful.

Money, quality code, bug fixes, documentation, publicity (there are so many great but little-known FOSS projects), or a simple display of appreciation for the authors' work are all welcome.

They can still profit, but they'd have to open up their own code, which most are afraid of doing.

You can buy support from a third party.

A library is compiled with a compiler.

Shh... don't tell anyone!

Probably most of the work is hidden in the underlying "framework" or "language". Here's a text editor in 1 line of html: <textarea></textarea>

Just a joke.

> The US is not going to lift these restrictions. Why would they? If you live in these terrible places

"these terrible places" == "The US"?

> armed rebellion

Armed. Definitely, the US was meant.

On the contrary. With idempotence you know the state after an action. rm -f will always delete the file (if possible). ln -sfn will always work, even for a directory.

With the default behaviour of rm, ln -s, etc you know neither the state before, nor after.

> Businesses loose millions and they just burn cash because of toxic and arrogant developments teams

If a business is treated like that, maybe it should quit its current development team and try to get a job at another.

> It doesn't hurt anybody

Not anybody in particular but it does hurt society as a whole. It's one of those things that make the rich richer for no reason other than them already being rich.

You don't see this kind of stuff every week, and surely Apple has the resources to at least confirm it.

This argument assumes developers have access to the market. In reality most of us are not in a position to benefit directly from selling software, regardless of how "good" or "bad" it is. We can only sell our labour for a pre-negotiated salary to an employer who will then pocket the profits. In such an environment, sharing, taking pride in, and building upon each other's work makes a lot of sense and works in the developer's long-term interest (as well as your employer-du-jour's).

Free software, just like proprietary, could be of good or bad quality. This depends on the people who wrote it, not so much on the choice of licensing terms.

> It makes me sad that I can get paid so much more to not make software than I can get paid to make software.

I can relate.

or the prisoner could spread his expectations over the five days so that they sum to 1, and then lose 1 minus the expectation for the day of hanging

Lisp only replaces looping with recursion, it doesn't eliminate it. APL does.

please, avoid abbreviating European as EU

> 3. It is functional.

That's questionable. APL doesn't treat functions as first-class values. Its higher-order functions are limited to "operators", i.e. second-order and no higher.

Baltic and Slavic languages are related.

There's a simple and polite way to learn that - just ask some of them.

I don't think very many users would go out of their way to be vehemently pro-telemetry either. It's indistinguishable from spying. Most people just shrug off their own inability to counter it and carry on with their lives, that's why marketers and other scum are able to get away with it. But it's certainly not in the users' best interest - I sincerely hope you have that interest at heart.

If you care about having users at all, it would be wiser not to antagonize them by send their information to third parties.

why does a keyboard shortcuts extension need to collect any data in the first place?
