No, I’m literally posting about a procedure that has high success rate in China while being questionable in Europe. The fact that this needs to be chewed up for you is phenomenal.

Oh wow that sounds like a big deal, what percentage of 1.4 billion is that again? 🤡

The former chief of NATO has already admitted that the war started due to NATO expansion, go peddle your propaganda somewhere else

The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition for not invade Ukraine. Of course we didn’t sign that.

The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership. We rejected that. So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders.

I don’t think they’re in control of anything in practice. It’s pretty much the same situation as Afghanistan. Turkey and Israel unleashed a whole bunch of extremists to overrun the country, but now it’s going to be impossible to control them in any meaningful way.

I imagine similarly to how Russia normalized relations with the Taliban. They’ll just work with whoever ends up in charge when the dust settles.

Yeah, WASM definitely looks promising. It’s also worth noting that you can treat Js as a compile target using something like Elm or ClojureScript. These languages have decent semantics that insulate you from a lot of the underlying insanity. For example, stuff like equality works the way you’d expect it to. I’ve worked on a few large frontend apps with ClojureScript and it was pretty nice as long as you didn’t need to interop with the Js ecosystem.

Pointing out the obvious always makes libs so mad.

many such stories

Coroutines are indeed much easier to work with, and I find it shocking that they didn’t catch on in Js world. In general though, I find plain sync code is just much easier to reason about and far less error prone. If you can keep IO at the edges, async’s not too bad, but in a lot of cases you need to do some IO deep within your logic, and that’s when things start to fall apart. Now you have to make everything async, error handling in particular becomes a pain. I think having async is nice as an opt in, but it shouldn’t be the default.

Those are the arguments I’ve seen most commonly as well. In practice, I don’t find they hold up in practice either. The downsides of having a janky foundation for the backend far outweigh any perceived benefits of having a single full stack platform. Also, async style is just far more painful to work with.

There is no evidence to suggest that HTS is reformed in any way, nor is there any reason to think they would be. Furthermore, it’s important to note that HTS themselves is just a small part of the whole picture.

Well people fleeing Syria is a pretty good sign that they fear for their safety. Meanwhile, there are now lots of posts on social media showing all the usual ISIS horrors unfolding in Syria such as beheadings, hangings, and so on. The worst kinds of terrorists have taken over the country, and they do the things they always do.

I actually think that everybody should learn a functional language like Scheme first because it teaches you to think about state explicitly. It’s very easy for somebody who learned a functional language to pick up an imperative one, but it’s very hard for people to go the other way around.

It’s already quite obvious that the whole DEI jihadist narrative is meant strictly for the smooth brained public in the west.

libs really hate looking in the mirror

Oh no, imagine the horror of being exposed to something other than regime sanctioned propaganda. 🤡

the empire is getting spread pretty thin nowadays

just don’t make it about an election this time

It is an abomination. I get that you have no choice but use Js in the browser, but you can use anything you want server side. Yet, people willingly choose to use one of the most horrific ecosystems out there.

The west literally overthrew a democratically elected government in Ukraine to put in a fascist regime. The regime is the biggest threat to people of Ukraine and they know it. This is why nobody is actually signing up to fight this war. The reality is that people are being gang pressed into fighting by the nazis https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/15/world/europe/ukraine-military-recruitment.html

In fact, according to Bloomberg, the share of forcibly mobilized soldiers in the Ukrainian army is 75% https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-20/ukraine-s-fight-against-russia-bolstered-by-millionaire-s-brigade
