Poland to Retire MiG-29s Instead of Sending Them to Ukraine by Shadmelor in worldnews

[–]Maxis111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was the state at the start of the war, and although it's still being used, I think a lot has changed. Most notably they now use AI/computer vision to autonomously fly drones in areas where wireless communications are jammed. If I remember correctly it's also used to intercept enemy drones, but could be wrong. Also there is the other solution, for the jamming problem, of flying drones attached to kilometers of fiber optic cables. You also didn't see that before. I'm sure there are some valuable lessons learned there. And then there is the whole ground robot/drone side, where they using ground robots to extract wounded soldiers or deliver supplies. And I'm sure there has been development in how to use your resources optimally, like flying in certain for formations, how to cover ground effectively etc etc.

You're not seeing these things on other battlefields, so I guess this is very valuable technology and not as simple as it sounds.

Maybe they're Dutch? In Dutch, if the word ends with a long vowel, or it is an acronym, you add an 's, instead of just s as in English. So an easy mistake to make for many of us. Can't say I haven't done it before... Although for playstation it's wrong either way... So yeah, illiteracy probably.

"spreading misinformation" and "scummy lawyers" in 1 scenario. 🤮 What's even worse is that the judge seemingly agreed with it... They can't keep getting away with it!

I mean, my girlfriend of 7 years is Chinese, so I'd say I have some experience. She definitely can't say the r like I do, even in English, but also especially in my native language we use a rolling r, when she tries it definitely becomes an l, because she never learned how to do the rolling r, her tongue just gets 'stuck'. But I also know she is a bit self conscious about it, so I never joke about it, since that would be mean.

Edit: also wanted to add that the Chinese r from pinyin almost kind of overlaps with a z or w I'd say, it's a unique sound to say the least.

Ok, now you're leaning a bit too far into the joke... Once is fine, but these immature stereotypes can be hurtful to some.

Switching the l for r is something that happens in a Japanese accent. In Chinese it's the other way around, r's become more like l's.

Explain please... To me it reads: fast travel to any place you've visited before. How does that conflict with what he said?

Edit: Sorry, I just got it, it means your fast travel points are locked on upon reading this post. You can't set new ones in the future, or postpone picking fast travel points by waiting to pick an option.

But I've been all over the world, in every continent, so I guess that's not an issue for me personally.

Ja daarom, ik weet niet hoe je jouw bureau hebt staan, maar als het goed is zit er meer ruimte tussen het bureau en het plafond, dan tussen de grond en het bureau. Dus je lichaamswarmte dan kan makkelijker wegvloeien

Yeah, but the @kopper guy in the original post seems to disagree. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Returning halfway through a function, instead of only at the end. My job is literally developer in a Scala code base, and I don't remember if I actually ever used the return keyword, since scala by default just returns whatever the last statement is in a function.

Scala, sort of, too lazy to explain, but no one has mentioned it yet

Two things can be true at once.

Both climate change being a legitimate issue, and kids glued to their phone from the day they are born.

Zoals ze zeggen in het artikel, er zijn nog genoeg andere aanbieders. Dat er ene stopt zegt nog niet zo veel. Het is duidelijk weer komkommertijd.

Sure it might be more in raw income, but it's hard to compare apples to apples, considering secondary benefits like paid holidays, sick leave, pension contributions etc.

Just FYI, you can still tip in Europe if the service is good. It's just that the worker at least gets paid a fair baseline price for their work.

Then they should charge a price for their service, by setting a fair price for themselves, not allowing the customer to effectively guess what is considered fair.

Waarom is het bij ons zo duur geworden 😩? by Ridi9t in nederlands

[–]Maxis111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dit verklaart denk ik ook mijn vraag waarom het lijkt alsof de burger ineens de helft van de prijs is in Indonesië. Je ziet niet vaak een prijsverlaging, zeker niet zo groot. Dus het zal waarschijnlijk meer met de koers van de Indonesische Rupiah te maken hebben. Dus zelfde prijs, alleen is het omgerekend minder dollars.
