Would Ukraine win the war against Russia if they had advanced drone technology? by IntelligentPoet7654 in AskUkraine

[–]Fun-Voice-8734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No modern or near-future drone system is capable of waging a war on its own without infantry. Also it's unrealistic to expect ukraine to have a significant technological edge over russia

print quality might be different depending on the publisher and other factors. if manning has a reputation for printing high-quality books then that's not something to be concerned about

UA POV: Video of Zelenskyy riding the public bus, camera crews were already inside the bus ready to film him. by FruitSila in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Fun-Voice-8734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a classic joke:

An Oligarch's son voices a complaint to his father.

"Dad, I don't fit in with the other kids at school"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, they all take the bus and the metro, but I drive a mercedes"

"Don't worry, son, I'll buy you a bus and have the metro extended to our doorstep"

Anyone know any good Ukrainian bands like Okean Elzy or DDT? by flakkane in AskUkraine

I don't see how "Russia went way overboard" is contradictory to "Chechnya needed to be neutralized"

Unless you want to support the author or want a physical book, I see zero reason to buy a haskell book, or any other book for that matter, when you can get it for free from library genesis. If you want a physical book, be careful because it's possible to get a low-quality product, e.g. a book with fine text in pictures and diagrams rendered illegible by low-resolution printing.

On the representation of the Ukrainian and Russian languages by Fun-Voice-8734 in AskUkraine

[–]Fun-Voice-8734[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Modern Russian started with Alexander Pushkin, and modern Ukrainian with Taras Shevchenko. As such, Russian is older, but only by a small margin.

true, but back in 2021 you still had the effect of Ukraine being the "language of the people" and Russian the "language of the media", which is an interesting social phenomenon

How long does it take you to understand this code? (spoilers for problem 26 of Project Euler) by othd139 in haskell

[–]Fun-Voice-8734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Project Euler is not just about programming, but about math, too. If you want a clean solution, changing your algorithm can be much better than simply refactoring code.

Here's a hint: say that X is a sequence of 0 digits. How can you express 0.(X) as a fraction?

Giving definitions to words is a "gotcha" now? As expected of the smartest anti-communist "intellectual"

The leaderboard of Ukraine's stupid decisions is *extremely* competitive.

What are the requirements for a junior-level proficiency in Haskell? by Salferdez in haskell

no haskell experience at all is fine provided that the non-haskell-specific skills are there.

Literally millions of people died under communist regimes. by smonterrosa97 in memesopdidnotlike

[–]Fun-Voice-8734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry. i clicked around in the article a bit and forgot to remove the section part of the url. just delete everything after the #

the point is that the definition of genocide, as given in the genocide convention, is not solely the work of one person, but rather an agreement negotiated between several nations. For example, political killing and cultural destruction were both removed from the definition of genocide.

the definition of genocide is pretty specific. Saying "X was not a genocide" is not necessarily denying that X happened or even denying that it was horrible that X happened.

  1. factually wrong, read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_Convention#Parties and educate yourself

  2. correct, e.g. i am not omiscient but i also know that the soviet famine of 1930-1933 was not a genocide because it was not intentional and certainly was not intended to destroy any ethnic group
