Wtf I can’t even…

Do I read it right that Hamas isn’t responsible for the atrocities they committed?

Ukraine’s attacking with fewer resources and fewer men in a war of attrition. Ukraine simply cannot win in that context.

This offensive != war.

Ukrainian strategy is fucking insane to watch and Russia simply isn’t incurring the losses necessary to pull out of the conflict.

It will likely take a couple more years to see who will outlast who.

Of course Ukraine can win. But I understand why a Russian imperialist would like everybody to believe that Russia is undefeatable (even though Russia was defeated many times).

you’ve bled half of your able-bodied men to either the frontline or the border.

It’s Russia who spills Ukrainian blood, let’s be clear about that.

But seeing your post history, you’re a Russian imperialist / apologist, so I guess you know that and just twist facts intentionally…

It’s a problem for people who indebted themselves to buy those homes with a valuation based on scarcity. Also a problem for the real estate Chinese companies, sector which represents a quarter of Chinese economy.

Really sorry to spoil the Putinist schadenfreude here, but Morawiecki simply said that they already stopped a while ago because they ran out of weapons to donate. It has no connection to the grain row.

Because it was taken out of context and used by Russian propaganda, Morawiecky later announced that Poland of course remains committed to Ukrainian defense effort.

He would love to, but he just can’t, at the moment.

Everything was simple and straightforward except for updating an app after new release before the distro maintainers updated it in repos (which often took months).

Far right gonna naziing and far left gonna tanking. Does not say much about political stability…

Who cares what OS the AWS machines are running? I can’t touch it, it’s completely inaccessible for me and other clients. I can only touch the services which AWS provides. I wouldn’t know the difference if it was running windows, since the OS is completely transparent, basically a hidden implementation detail.

You keep making the assumption that AWS == EC2, meanwhile it is just one of many services AWS provides.

Abstracting away is costly. You can target only the lowest common denominator. The abstractions are going to leak. It’s like the criticism of ORMs, only worse since SQL is at least standardized.

That must be why SMIC just showed 7nm capability years ahead of when people expected it.

Nah, it was expected all the way since SMIC bought 7nm lithography machines from ASML. It will be more interesting to watch when they start building their own lithography machines since their current stock will not scale (and will eventually break down without spare parts).

That must be why Russia is projecting GDP growth this year and Russia’s manufacturing

Yeah, according to Rosstat :-)

Who do you think you’re convincing with this?

I’m not trying to convince anybody, I’m fine with the current sanction course. But it’s kinda funny to watch the Russian / tankie desperate “sanctions don’t work, so … you know there’s no sense in continuing them, so … you should lift them.”

They are working, but they can still be improved, hence this.

Too bad that Purism’s stated values are the opposite of their real business practices.

Python is for some reason darling of many, sometimes it has almost religious connotations. Meanwhile differences from e.g. PHP are mostly superficial and each has their strengths and weaknesses.

Bourne shell is orders of magnitude worse clusterf*ck than JavaScript, yet it’s rarely criticized.

Rust rarely gets criticized which isn’t necessarily a problem, since it’s IMHO a good language for its intended use case. But people tend to recommend it for things where the trade offs come out negative. (apps not needing max. performance)

In general I wouldn’t follow the trends on social media, it’s all a huge groupthink, mostly focusing on (easily avoidable) warts, and ignoring strengths.

Swallowing your pride, merging into another project and taking a less glamorous role in that project is not as easy as it was to fork when steering your project.

I don’t think it’s because of the ego. But if you’re working with other people, you need to do a lot of non-coding (non-fun) things. Align thinking, find compromises, establish and follow processes. Things are easier and more fun hacking alone. No processes to limit you, no one telling you “this doesn’t align with the vision of the project” (and the other way round - you don’t have to maintain code contributed by other people with use cases not interesting to you) etc. For volunteer FOSS contributors, doing fun stuff is often a big part of the motivation to give their free time to the community.

I agree. Rust has advantages, but none of them outweighs the negatives (complexity, difficult to find devs) for this particular use case.

I also agree that JVM would be a good platform. It’s both performant enough and simple/conventional enough.

has documentation which says it is meant only to be used for logging / debugging

No, it’s not a breaking change IMO. The method contract (the “debug” name, the comment) heavily implies the output may change and should not be relied upon.

I’m in a golden cage where my job earns about twice or more of what a large majority of remote jobs offer (available where I am, which is Europe).

I guess I could get very lucky and find a great paying remote job, but I feel like I could lose in the end.
