Presumably if you're driven by paranoia to buy or make a Faraday box you will be paranoid enough to try putting your phone in it and calling it

What would the rough timeframe be for seeing adoption of this into the language?

I was considering introducing the OneOf library into our codebase, but if this is < a year or so away it might not be worth the effort.

When the machines rise up and start taking prisoners you might wanna make yourself scarce, my man.

I don't know who this Mearsheimer is, but your comment is essentially ad hominem because you haven't addressed the point. If it helps you, the same thing has been said by others e.g. Chomsky.

Could South Africa join NATO? Thailand? Russia themselves asked to join but were rejected.

>a tax on people who can't do math.

The national lottery in the UK sends about 25% of the money to charities, so for some it's a form of charitable giving. Also what the other commenter said about dreaming.

When I visited Morocco I discovered that haggling is seen as an intrinsic part of a transaction. A lot of tourists aren't used to haggling or are afraid to do so out of a perceived risk of offending the seller. But if you don't haggle Moroccans will perceive you as weak, even if you think you've got a great deal paying face value.

I was given a fresh copy of Windows at work the other week and had to install all tooling afresh. I decided to take the opportunity to try meld.

The first merge I did, even after reading the website, I couldn't fathom it. I understood the paradigm of merging into $BASE but couldn't figure out how to simply take these 5 lines from $REMOTE and these 3 from $LOCAL, so went back to the trusty Beyond Compare.

Might give it another shot.

And what do you think would be the outcome?

Milka, Nutella, Lindt, Kinder.

Kinder Bueno is a good example of what I'm taking about. I know it has hazelnuts in. There's no bitter cocoa 'kick', just a sticky sweet taste. It's like chocolate for people who don't like the taste of chocolate.

European chocolate is rank and tastes like hazelnuts.
