What does "Upgrade to the next level" even mean? What next level? Where is the dividing line? Why should we, beside all other concerns there are?

But also very different. If code below this loop executes after elimination and wouldnt have before, that is a very significant change in semantics

I wondered the same thing. _dp might mean double precision, but the rest is beyond me

Way over the top mate.

I was just genuinely asking whether there was some specific reason or he just withdrew himself from the public because life happens.

No need to get argumentative.

Right probably. Do you know what happened by any chance?

Hey so, why would you even buy that? Was that some external requirement?

...uhm You are happy to share your home address and everything else to securely identify you to a government acting increasingly erratic? Because I am not. I would be happy if terrorism-flagged people are shared across borders, but not everyone.

Ask HN: Has anyone built "HN front page, with all AI stories filtrered out"?

They just annoy me and provide very little value. The non-AI gems in between however are very much still worth reading. Has anybody built that already?

Not identical but similar and state vs federal level, might as well be different parties. Thats not to say I am not Just as worried as you

chrystalkey — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 19:50:47 +0000

What? Tell me the similarities :) There is not strong-willed, controlling figure or imposed ideology, the financial institutions are fairly independent, in general journalism is relatively free to choose topics, the federal states can be pretty independent from the central power if they choose to do so, and all the rest I already wrote in a sister comment. Note I did not compare this to any country, just applying criteria for dictatorships.

I think you mean something different than I when we think of dictatorships. I agree in being unhappy with this decision and maneuvering, but we do have to keep a watch out for actual, in the political sense, dictatorships and not mix them up with other concerns.

That is incorrect. Usually, the legislation happens in the trilogue, which is an abomination and everything but well representing it's citizens interest, but the Commission can do very very little if the council says no. That again is a body consisting of elected officials with varying degrees of distance from a direct election. Best example for a change: everything that happened after Magyar replaced Orban in the council. This is just to say... Its complicated. The EU can definitely do with a reform and better, stronger democratic legitimacy.

Oh please. That is not and never was my argument. I just said, it is not a dictatorship. No Fun discussion anything with you.

If you'll indulge my argument: I have a fair amount of confidence in the stability of the system and fairness of elections. It may be rigged in favour of some interested parties, but there are solid ways to get the people currently in power to be replaced by others and still retain stability in the system. Not so in any of: Iran, Russia, Albany, Eastern Germany, The phillipines, China, Belarus, Sudan, ... That is my whole point. The rest is a different topic, but cynicism usually does not help in doing something.
