the usa propaganda is strong on you
garou··on Remember Hong Kong
USA propaganda. They try to weaken any democracy so they seems the least worst option. (Of course there is other "worst option" countries, who wants to live in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Rwanda, Uganda, Etc.? [allies of usa]).

garou··on Mid-pregnancy pollution exposure linked to postpartum depression
Increase the quality of live for the working class and you get healthier people right?

It is great to se people trying to get hard evidence of these thing to argue in favor of it but I can only see dark times ahead and the misogyny will not decrease in the next decade.

Taxes of importation would be to protect the internal market of the taxed good. Taxes on raw materials that the country does not extract/produce enough somehow pointless and the consumers will pay for it.

Eventually your president will step back (as always).

Your president just want to take the news with these hot topics and bypass quietly worse things that will not appear in the big journals. It is not necessary to be a communist to see it.

garou··on What is there left to believe in?
Workers and oppressed peoples of all countries, unite!
garou··on Character amnesia in China
I am not from Asia so I would trust more what our wife has to say than me. But I would argue that it is common for people living in a country with different language from they native language to forget how to write or even say some simple words. There's a good active effort to learn a new language.
garou··on Character amnesia in China
If you consider that a lot of people using the Latin alphabet does use the cellphone autocomplete to check how to write a word used infrequently...

So I would say this text is biased by the "western" view of the writer, something that could be categorized as "Orientalism". A study about this phenomenon is valid, is important. But this post is not a good study.

garou··on Is the US Headed Towards Fascism? [video]
'without ideological bias' is a ideology bias my dear.
garou··on The Nazi of Oak Park
Sadly no. One day perhaps.

But I know who did...

garou··on Japan was the future but it's stuck in the past (2023)
US tried very hard after ww2 to make japan to be "the future" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_economic_miracle). But as it is said in this article (not with these words), the neoliberalism is not compatible. The youngs are literaly dying of too much work and what it wants to summarize is 'the old are still in power', 'samurais that surrended'. It all is just neoliberal ideology. All these contradictions are roting its society.
garou··on KIP-932: Queues for Kafka
It's looking like PostgreSQL vs MongoDB...

RabbitMQ has implemented Streams and "Super Streams":

> Super streams are a way to scale out by partitioning a large stream into smaller streams. They integrate with single active consumer to preserve message order within a partition. Super streams are available starting with RabbitMQ 3.11.

garou··on Rethinking Window Management
Sway (i3) can stack any program as tabs.
garou··on Purring is a love language no human can speak
Do you have any studies that prove this statement?

I can raise the hypothesis here that, the cat being a small animal, it is also prey and the development of low frequency communication between mother and kittens can be quite beneficial in hostile environments. Of course, I can't claim this to be true.

garou··on China asked Russia to delay war until after Olympics, Biden officials say
It looks like China is asking for Russia to wait for when China would be able to invade Taiwan.
garou··on What happened to Russias Air Force? U.S. officials, experts stumped
Would be possible that their objective was to start by invading easily the Ukraine and Moldova then with close base to NATO old soviet nations start the "real" war to conquer all their "territories" back?

If so, their plan just completely blew up now with their destroyed economy and wasting a lot more of their planned resources to capture only the first step… And Putin don't want to admit/face defeat so is trying to win the Ukraine even with the fact that he already lost.

It all is so insane, it is freaking hard to understand these maniacs…

Slava Ukraini!

garou··on SikuliX – Automate what you see on a computer monitor
I've used it to automate a desktop app in the past, a ruby script in the server side running in multiple windows instances doing GUI things… It was like having robots working for us…
garou··on A website hosted on a floppy disk (Be patient while it's loading)

garou··on Steam survey shows Linux marketshare hitting 1.0%
I'm only waiting for it to nuke out my windows install.
garou··on Re-Thinking the Desktop OS
I think that we should have a third DE with the same level of UX for configuration and simple customization as Gnome and KDE. But focused in Tiling WM. Pick something like Awesome or Sway and creating the whole ecosystem. Pick a OS that suits it like Manjaro (look to the logo, its tiling wm for sure!) and offers the DE as an initial option in the installation.

But considering the "natural selection" that happens here, it may be the way that is because only technical people care about this kind of thing… Idk…

garou··on Kitty – A fast, featureful, GPU based terminal emulator
Yeah. I've tried the Kitty last year and when my colors showed different I found this Issue already closed and with some strong words/opinions from him. Hard to like it.

mikeal commented 6 days ago:

> Let’s just bump the major version when we deprecate. That way most people depending on the project won’t see this error until they try to upgrade to a new major, which means they are actively developing it and really should look for an alternative.

garou··on Seven habits of effective text editing (2000)
I am not going to say "ViM is better".

Are you intended to keep using vim to edit these remote config files? May it be unnecessary, but if you want to try read this article to figure out how make these things faster using vim.

But IMHO if you are just going for it, there's no reason to learn vim.

It is a long path indeed, but wort it.

garou··on ASCII and Unicode quotation marks
It's very odd for me to see the grave accent (`) as quoting mark in bash and other programming languages. I understand that the accent alone lose its function for the human language. But still uncomfortable to se an accent as delimiter to a string.
garou··on Show HN: Getting started with Puppeteer and Chrome Headless for Web Scraping
I am writing almost the same thing but for PDF [1]. But I am having trouble with scaling.

I got able to make it run inside a docker.

In this exact moment the example at the repo is just returning a blank PDF but the problem is at the API Gateway.
