Yes exactly. This is why, European countries, with the strongest worker protection, such as Norway, Sweden, Germany etc. are so much poorer and far behind than US in terms of QOL and quality of goods they produce.

Revolutions are always made by young, are not they?

My point was that the original poster was wrong saying that Soviet and Post-soviet cities had and have hot water only during winters. This is idiocy; you know that, I know that. Right now, while I am writing, my relative is using hot water to wash her head.

What is your point?

Not sure what is your point. You've mentioned USSR and it was wrong, as Soviet System has never been like that - "hot water only during the winter". Ergo, you should not have brought up USSR.

Hopefully no nasty surprises in firmware.

A typical chinese N100 minipc takes from 5w at idle to 20W at full load.

Exactly my point.

have you read the original post?

> Old Soviet style communities get hot water from central plants, mainly used for heating but also for showers, so when winter is over, they shutdown the heating plants for the season and no hot water at all

Because if you reread it, you'll get the ridiculousness of that claim. So what you saying that situation in ex-USSR is such that there is only hot water during the winter. This is ridiculous, even taking into account grievances you have about Russian infrastructure.

What you describe is not normal today (unless we are talking about some Mukhosransk type of cities), and certainly was not normal in USSR, which kept civil infrastructure in a good shape.

As someone who is currently living in Central Asia, yes I do have no water for two weeks a year, they switch it off for "maintenance". However all last 5+ years, I had water through summer, with only occasional failures. We did have no heating one year, but water was all the time present.

It is so incorrect, it is boderline idiotic urban legend. post-Soviet cities have hot water year around; same heating plants used for winter heating, are used for hot water in summer time, albeit at lower power. Also waste heat from power plants used for the same purpose.

Central Asia (where I actually live) does not have much to see, esp. Kazakhstan. The main tourist destinations are historical monuments in Uzbekistan which has huge tourist influx lately (every time I am in Uzbekistan I see a good deal of tourists around hotels). Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have beautiful mountains, nature. Kazakhstan is bit dull post-Soviet place, Almaty resembles more some city in Eastern Europe than Asia.

Interestingly but central Asia it is called Arak. Same root.

Since what Moldova is Russia? Am I on reddit or 4chan?

AVR has no protection and no segments. I mean really, it seems to be true that new generation of programmers have zero understanding of hardware, nothing personal.

Is it even possible to core dump on AVR, with no storage and MMU?

(In)famous Bandermobile.

Good luck proving it in court. (It is not that I disagree with you).

It is far easier to switch an employee than employer, as decision is made assymetrically - the decision maker, the manager of your manager, for example, has zero emotional investment in you, compared to you and your being accustomed to your place, social relationships etc.

EDIT: It is also true that too frequent switching jobs will have negative consequences for your employability; and high attrition, even if it becomes a public fact, would have little consequences for desirability of the job.

Well, this is possible for sure, but not for primitive functions, such as strcmp. It just does not happen in practice.

It in theory may, but no one does.

Contrived example, never seen in reality.

Make no sense to me. OS restores all the registers incl. flags after leaving the signal handler. Besides, your scenario is not related to the handler _itself_ calling memcpy; it is about interrupting the main code. And it never ever destroys flags.

You must be from ex-USSR.

Super interesting project, however I do not believe that striving for producing 100% identical binaries worth it. They themselves seem to have already deviated from that, by producing a combined binary.

dwm_lut, widely used tool uses dithering

There two types of GPU acceleration: acceleration by a hardware codec bolted on a GPU, and actual GPU computational acceleration. the latter is not widely used but probably is not n gonna have any difference in terms of quality, and provides only modest acceleration.

Yes, tictacs may as well be from the ocean....

It still does not proof anything, as claiming that "there is certain bias for Human Language built into our heads" is quite different thing that saying there is some universal grammar in the brain structures, as much we do not have innate abilities to comprehend calculus or play chess, yet we still able to learn it, with a lot less training information than LLMs. In fact 2 books will suffice for the both.

Unrelated to what I said, with all due respect.

But that has never been proven that this is how indeed human acquire language; it is essentially a hypothesis. We may as well do it the way LLMs do - some undifferentiated networks acquires the grammar by unknown means.
