And it's actually a good thing that it hasn't come any closer.


The simple English article seems to imply the True Justified Belief 'definition'. I don't think the TJB really gets us anything.

For instance: why is 'true' included in the TJB triad? 'Justified' should cover it, no? This gap seems to be the cause of the Gettier silliness.

To expand on each part: 'believe' is a rather tricky Theory-of-Mind concept in itself. Eg: how familiar with a scientific model like AGW do you need to be to be allowed to 'believe' it? 'True' is similarly difficult. 'Justified' is the most sensible part, but that is still very difficult. I think science is what it boils down to.

I think philosophers really badly want a concept of Knowledge that is a meaningful and 'hard'. For their own title to make sense, actually. They love it; shame if it was all sloppy thinking.

I know but the article talks about classes and almost equate the concept of a class with a type in the same way java does.


This expression is often misused, it seems. It sounds so cool, 'scorched-earth tactics'... like 'medieval', 'fire-and-brimstone', 'kill it with fire', etcetera.

Maybe read up on the specifics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_earth

And BTW, there just aren't any 1M+ shells per month to send. Maybe in 2028 or something. Production takes time to build.

The alternatives to using previously or normally civilian buildings are, I believe, to be outdoors or in tents. Originally military buildings are too few and probably already in bad shape.


Is this _really_ how you want the game to be played?


Yes. It's less delusional than assuming basic humanity from attackers ... in a war.


So when Ukrainian regime attacked separatists in the Donetsk and Lughansk regions in 2014, were they lacking basic humanity in your eyes? Just asking.


Girkin («Strelkov») is Russian agent from Russia. Do we need your permission to kill Russian invaders?



"Russian invaders, and the occasional local collaborator or two."

Who in any case know exactly what's coming to them.


Very nice. Made me think of Paul Simon, made me relisten to Graceland, the song. Always a great listen, great sound. Thought it was just about him paying tribute to musical roots, 'Mississippi delta' and all that. But wait what? 'after the failure of his marriage.'... 'Actress and author Carrie Fisher'. Well internet, Today I Learned.

Huge aside aside, aren't these songs a little similar?


Paul Simon was "inspired" greatly by African "highlife" music on Graceland. Some people dismiss it as plagiarism, but I actually think Paul was actually influenced greatly by a sound he hadn't heard before, and legitimately tried to recreate it and introduce it to a western audience. Having watched a few interviews with him, he meant Graceland to be, as you say, a "tribute to musical roots".

I personally don't care if it was plagiarism or not, as it introduced me to a bunch of artists I otherwise wouldn't have known, such as Prince Nico Mbarga and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.


I use a very low-tech solution: I stick a <pre> tag at the start of javadoc comments, and make liberal use of empty lines for spacing.

So I don't use any advanced html tags and stuff. Of course I use @link, which is the most useful feature of javadoc.

BTW, maybe the 'meaning' of <style> tags should be clarified for ambitious documenters... It seems they only affect the one javadoc they are inside of, which is pretty useless.


If status codes bleed into 6xx we'll know HE COMES.

I am starting an early warning system, a daemon process, polling random web sites for status lines like this. Do I need to handle Unicode?
