Anyone who still believes in Bitcoin at this point is not worth listening to. Dorsey is a kook

... and it was totally unnecessary. All Putin had to do, when he came to power, was keep his cronies happy. Put an economic marble on that terrain, it would roll straight to Moscow and St Petersburg. Russia could be amazingly wealthy.

He would have friends.

But he's such a shitweasel, incapable of thinking strategically.

I don't give him six months more. His fall will be great.

@mister_shade02X2 @benroyce

That's a bet I'll take. Putin will die of gunshot within two years at most

@dsmdexter @benroyce @mister_shade02X2

You could be right.

@benroyce @dsmdexter @mister_shade02X2

That's SOP for the West. It never works. It didn't break Saddam, it hasn't broken Iran, hasn't broken NoKo.

Who has it broken.

Ben, it's nothing but eyewash. Looks like they're doing something.

The current Ukraine war has become a war of attrition. Whiz bang gadgets don't win wars. I've heard all this before, those cheerful chuckleheads in Saigon on the Friday Night Follies, telling us how many Vee Cee they'd killed. We dropped more ordnance on Laos and Cambodia than all of WW2, German and Allied, including the nuclear weapons.

This is becoming a Verdun, a lobster trap. Too little, too late.

@skinnylatte

What do you think of this proposal?

We should know who's in the country. If we reformed work visas, we could have people coming and /going back home/ if that's what they want - and be allowed to come back without all this rigamarole.

What we don't want is a two tier system of "illegal aliens" and everyone else.

I sense every social media entity gets in trouble over time, once it reaches an arbitrary size.

Here's some kitten music. I played a lot when both my children and my cats were young.

Have a kitten pic.

Heh. They most certainly do change their minds - I'm a child of fourth generation missionaries, pastors and suchlike.

I remember when Divorce was a big issue. If you got divorced, you left the church. No fault divorce went through the church like a forest fire. The pews emptied out. In desperation, the evangelicals called the divorced "singles" and put in Sunday School classes 'n everything for them.

Their opposition to gays in the congregation is mostly gone, too.

Improved Query Planner:

Just-in-Time (JIT) Compilation:

PostgreSQL can now compile parts of queries into machine code at runtime, which can significantly speed up execution, especially for complex queries and analytical workloads.

Heh! Auch an Hacker-Pschorr mangelt es hier nicht. Gott hat uns Bier gegeben, damit wir glücklich sind.

@markus @morph

Die Archäologen erzählen uns, dass das erste Lied, das sie gefunden haben – geschrieben auf einer Tontafel, sumerisch, glaube ich – eine Hymne auf das Bier war.

1/ Conditional probability explained to my kids:

Deck of cards. Shuffle. Now draw cards until you get an ace:

P(Ace) = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes)

Let's break it down:

Favorable outcomes: These are the outcomes we're interested in, which is drawing an Ace. There are 4 Aces in a standard deck.

@ApostateEnglishman @rysiek @futurebird

No.

This isn't about the generation of random numbers and why it's so hard to do it properly.

It's about the fact that drawing one card from a deck of 52 results in a pile of 51 cards.

And that's all, bunkie.

@ApostateEnglishman @rysiek @futurebird

Answering you has gotten me in a foul mood.

Cards are displayed until Ace 1 appears.

I then ask - how many cards are remaining in the deck.

THAT NUMBER BECOMES THE DENOMINATOR

@ApostateEnglishman @rysiek @futurebird

It hardly matters. I'm violating one of my own rules: never attempt to teach math online, knowing as sure as night follows day, someone will ask your sort of question - about an ace-less deck.

@japonica @rysiek @futurebird

No.

What is conditional probability?

It's the probability of an event happening given that another event has already occurred. Think of it as narrowing down the possibilities. We're not looking at the whole universe of events anymore, just a specific subset.

@cstross

This war will end within five minutes after the confirmed death of Vladimir Putin - and not one minute before.

Ukraine's troops will never serve under a Russian, not after Bucha. No, sir.
