Genuine question: AFAIK the Republicans would like to use the US Military against its own people, as well as disband institutions like the FBI. What would you do if they actually went ahead with that?

Nah, I just don’t want to engage with someone who started the conversation in bad faith and then never stopped. You know what you’re doing, I know what you’re doing, so let’s just stop. I’ll even let you have the last word.

Same to you I guess. Oh well.

I’m not entitled to an opinion, remember? So, please, enlighten me.

Yeah, and the problem is that the history of the conflict didn’t even start with the current state of Israel being established. There really is no simple good/bad narrative to be had. It’s just a shitty situation for anyone who happens to live there.

You are really good at putting words in my mouth, that’s been clear from your first reply.

So what’s your great plan that isn’t childish idealism?

Maybe try looking at it from the point of view of the individual people living there (and having been born there for generations) instead of whatever strategic/historical layer you’re on. The state of Israel exists and won’t be going away, that’s a fact. You can hate the injustice if you want but it would still be better if they’d finally make peace and just live in the present instead of murdering each other over the past. But neither leadership is willing to do that.

Okay, now you can continue scolding me. Don’t forget to link this to Russia’s attack on Ukraine!

Let’s just fight forever then. Endless hate. Only war. Is anyone who started this shit even alive anymore?

The people who won’t accept a two state solution are the bad guys, so much is clear.

The reason I replied is because of the “submissions” part. They aren’t doing that, everyone can still submit code that might get accepted. What they did was remove some of the people in charge of deciding what gets accepted from the team.

They removed maintainers that work for Russian corporations, they are not blocking submissions from any Russian citizen.

You could fit an entire modern OS in that space, together with all the drivers, a web browser, an office suite, graphics editor, an IDE and a compatibility layer for running Windows applications.

My guess would be Nvidia. But probably both.

They convey time instantly, without reading. You don’t even need the numbers for them to work. It’s like showing a progress bar versus just giving the percentage as a number.

The unease doesn’t come from the word itself being a grave insult but, for example, from being bullied for being “weird”.

Also the guy who fixed GTA Online’s ridiculous loading times.

I am, only reason I’m dealing with Powershell is work.

vi is the way it is for very good reasons, I don’t really see that with VS Code. Even gVim has menus. You can have both accessibility and flexibility/speed.

I would still try to adapt to it, but the PowerShell experience I had a couple months ago put me off it (and VSCodium) for good. Install IDE, install plug-in, hangs forever until you figure out that the useless error message means you need to install some additional .msi from Microsoft. Blergh.

I agree, thought Atom was kind of a fun text editor but silly for being an entire Chrome browser, then it mutated into this intentionally held back IDE where not even developing PowerShell or C# can be done without mucking about first.

There is barely any functionality without add-ins but not because they want to keep the base program light. And it siphons all the data it can get, of course.

It’s pretty clear to me that they don’t want it to be better than Visual Studio proper, so you don’t get a sane menu structure or out of the box functionality. Microsoft made an editor that is somehow more opaque and unintuitive than vi, not because of necessity or for practicality reasons but because it has to be different from the flagship product.

I’d much rather work with Spyder, Netbeans or Eclipse. Or some Jetbrains product. Or Notepad3 + Terminal and a browser.

For real though, containerization isn’t the only way to separate applications from each other but totally fine, it’s the “It works on my machine, so here’s my machine” mentality that doesn’t fill me with confidence. I’ve seen too much barely-working jank in containers that probably only get updated when a new version of the containerized application itself is released.
