There is always someone else to blame for your failure.

Don't take this personally, but - I don't believe you. I've never seen complex abstractions that didn't leak. Maybe the feature is worth the complexity, I don't know, but I can't fault the authors for thinking not.

> Only? My understanding is that this is double, triple many European countries.

Considering what is going on in Europe right now, maybe this is not a good point to try to make.

Except that git commands generally accept partial hashes...

> These days if you build it with a central policy engine, e.g. on top of Open Policy Agent with Rego as a policy language, and stick to a (actor, object, action) triple system, you can build an extensible and powerful authorization system that usually also is less polluting to the codebase as many other approaches.

...and if they forget that, they can just edit the source code in command.com!

What do you think mature compatibility signals are?

> It’s a right.

Not if you're a felon or have mental health issues.

What you said makes no sense. The fact is that most Americans have retirement accounts, and most of that money is invested in stocks. In particular, large cap stocks like Exxon and Chevron.

Any definition of "regular folk" that excludes more than half the population is nonsense.

Those people also hate the IRGC; the recent popular uprising was only suppressed by murdering ten thousand people. The regime is not as stable as you think.

>> and Iran is losing its grip on Hormuz.

> That is just hope-believe, i.e. it ain't happening.

Best estimates are that 80% of the pre-war levels of oil are flowing through Hormuz right now. It's happening.

What are you hoping for?

The "not really changing" part is what shows Russia is weak.

Also, Russia cannot keep this going indefinitely. The West can. There is some question about whether Ukraine can or can't, but from an endurance perspective, there is absolutely no question who has the upper hand. Nobody west of Ukraine is on a war footing, we're all working our day jobs, taking vacations, and growing our economies.

$350 billion of foreign aid sounds like a lot until you realize the GDP of NATO is more than $55 trillion. We could keep this going forever.

Russia is spending 7-10% of its GDP, and fully half of its federal spending, on the war. And that probably understates because Russia forces war spending onto localities and companies. This will come to an end eventually; time is not on Russia's side.

I'll take "that" over a 10% GDP contraction every day of the week.

I really don't think you've considered the scale of these things. Yeah the US burned some billions of dollars and tens of lives. On the scale of the US, this is nothing compared to what Iran is experiencing.

> So we have a stalemate.

It's not a stalemate. Best current estimates are that oil traffic through Hormuz is back to 80% of pre-war levels. This is not going well for the Iranian regime.

On the other hand our commander-in-chief (engineering expert that he is) has ordered the Navy to switch back to steam catapults on an already half-built carrier. That will also require bringing back 70 year old retirees. Pretty sure Trump would switch back to coal if he could find any living boilermakers.

Sometimes bad ideas are just stupidity.

Big US oil companies like Exxon, Chevron, Conoco, et al are mostly owned by mutual funds and index funds. So it really is "regular folk", though of course not everyone has the same size 401k.

> I'd be more astonished if there isn't something superior to the SR71

Makes me wonder if this whole operation is just public cover for something like that.

I tried to source this and it appears to be speculation.

Dresden, Hamburg, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Warsaw, Grozny, Aleppo, Mariupol, Carthage... war is hell.

Sadly it does seem pretty normal.

My wife and my 9yo have Chromebooks. Their needs are met. I (mostly) don't have to worry about data hygiene.

I'm sure my kid will want a "real" computer at some point, but by then he will hopefully have enough maturity to keep it secure. My wife couldn't care less.

I have no idea what you are talking about. The honeycrisp revolution made me like apples again. Maybe your taste buds have changed?

Plenty of sources provided in this thread. You either have your head stuck in the ground or you're a paid shill. Go away.

...and when your site is hacked, will it have been worth it?

"Some random WordPress plugin" is usually the main entry point. The core has a bad track record, but plugins are worse by far.

> I would imagine data centers would have more military value for Ruzzia than Wildberry

You and I are not informed enough to speculate like this. Presumably the military planners in Ukraine are competent. If they haven't been striking data centers, it's almost certainly because they prioritize other targets. It won't be because they haven't thought of it or are afraid to do so.

And yet people build sophisticated apps with them anyway, because there are plenty of components you can bring in piecemeal in any language ecosystem. You can even do this in Ruby without Rails.

By way of example, "react doesn't have a router" hasn't stopped it from becoming the dominant frontend framework.

It's a mistake to blindly adopt tit-for-tat. Presumably Z has a list of important targets and is working his way down. Maybe data centers rank, maybe they don't.

During the Battle of Britain, Churchill ordered a bombing attack on Berlin. Consequently, Hitler ordered Göring to switch from attacking military infrastructure to attacking London. This is widely considered to have been a significant strategic mistake that helped the British win the Battle of Britain.

I wonder how much of a factor is that nuclear plants are effectively "unbombable". Ukraine's thermal plants have taken a beating, but their nuclear plants are still generating.

On the plus side, if it can change that fast, it can grow again too.

I've heard explanations for South Korea's low birth rate but they seemed country specific. What is it about Argentina?

They also have really poor judgement. A 4yo will find out how high you can get the car airborne.

Trump and Xi are meeting. Not the countries, just two corrupt and malevolent individuals.

Stop the conspiracy talk. This was Jake's chaotic personal life coming home to roost. It's not more complicated than it seems.
