The problem with reviews is that on Reddit, it’s almost guaranteed that you’re reading a PR company’s post. Starting 2020, marketing agencies have been openly advertising that they game Reddit threads for product placements. If you know anyone working in those departments, just ask around.

Then guru-influencer-like people started selling growth hack tactics. Pretty much, again, openly discussing purchasing old Reddit accounts, how to make posts that are not obvious product placements and etc. Like if you see a list of suggested products, it’ll be:

1. Competitor
2. Your product
3. Competitor

With some pros/cons listed with the hopes to skew the result towards the second choice.

There are exceptions, like very hardcore tiny moderated subreddits, but I really wouldn’t take product recommendations from Reddit very seriously.
In Rust, the default behavior when using resources like any other type is correct. You have to introduce a specific type to leak them.

In Python, you need to handle resources differently and introduce a language feature to not leak them.

That's the difference you're pointing out.

yeah i don’t understand why clouflare isn’t competing head on with cloud providers. Imo they should acquire fly.io, give them a blank check and 2 years and I think they can take down aws.

The reason aws is dominant is because it’s the default and a known quantity. But developers and cost conscious organizations will look at alternatives. Not saying it would be easy but the prize would be huge. Plus AWS seems in chaos with a lack of sensible leadership.

As much as social media will try to ingrain this into you, people are not just "right" or "left" and you'll find plenty of conservatives in the US that are not in agreement with Trump's stance on distancing from old allies and not helping Ukraine, and that doesn't make them "left-wing", "libtards" or other slurs.

Not having developed a game myself, but harbouring aspirations of doing so at some point, I don't have any advice that can be backed up by experience.

However, I did find this game development series[0] by Yahtzee (of Zero Punctuation fame) rather insightful, so perhaps it might help.

I've also watched a few of the videos[1] made by Timothy Cain (Fallout 1/2, Fallout New Vegas, Outer Worlds etc) where he goes into some of the underlying mechanisms of video game design.

You can count how many high school children there are in Ukraine. There is something like 4 millions now, so the loss of a couple hundred of students of both sexes does not make classes girls only.

People, families with kids, leave Ukraine, because living in a country during war is not nice, to say the least. The fear of mobilization is only one aspect of it.

Safari it is.
What's the point of hypethotical then?
This weakens the US against China. Europeans have no stake in a big Pacific conflict and will be much less interested to back US war mongering now. It’s short sighted for us to forego alliances that were helping us build a world order and a trading bloc that isolated China.
Some games are indeed zero sum, some are positive and some are negative.

Of course, I understand you don't leak resources if you pay attention and use linters. However, default out-of-scope behavior doesn't exist. In Go, you can defer, and you can also forget to defer. The default behavior is that resource cleanup is a program logic problem that is entirely on the programmer.

The same applies to C#: You program your resource freeing with Dispose (okay, fair so far), and then if the caller forgets to Dispose, you leak. Again, the default behavior is that resource cleanup is a part of the explicitly implemented logic, always.

Compare that to Rust, where you can explicitly drop(), but once a value goes out of scope, its resources are freed.

This is about default and consistent behavior. C# and Go handle memory as a special resource you only sometimes, only in some ways, need to worry about (new, make) but most other resources (files, sockets, threads (if they exist)) become an afterthought and have special logic the programmer needs to worry about *by default*.
What if the enemy won't allow for your surrender and just want to kill you regardless?
My experience with AWS is the documentation can be bad/wrong, it can be difficult to find stuff, but the actual services are very solid. It does what you tell it to do. Stuff works.

My experience with Azure is that it simply breaks in ridiculous and frankly unacceptable ways, all the time. It's like someone is unplugging network and power cables every couple hours just for fun.
It's a counterpoint to :

"Our housing policies have broken this social contract. Many younger people cannot afford to live in high opportunity but high priced cities. Those that can, often only do so because of help from family"
i think azure is fine. it wouldn’t be my first choice and they have some questionable choices but its possible to circumvent them.
Heh, I'd argue it's grosser. It's the cheek thing for me.

This take seems pretty short-sighted. You may well have a point regarding what hiring managers actually value but speaking from experience having a couple people on hand that are better at solving problems than manufacturing them is pretty clutch in most settings where results are actually important.

You don't have to ask this sort of question. He literally says it in the discussion. He wanted to show the world Zelensky's attitude. And he was successful in doing so

Trump failed to make the deal, they tried to get resources for a minimum of involvement, and the deal didn't go through because Zelensky is adamant in wanting to protect Ukrainian integrity.

From Trump's perspective this puts him in a good light. He is attempting to negotiate rationally and Zelensky is irrationally spending Ukrainian lives to hold on to an ideal.

Of course Europe and many Americans believe in that ideal and would support Ukraine, but that's not Trump's political platform. His motivation is to end the war, and the easiest way to end the war is to yield to Putin's demands. Making Zelensky look unreasonable is a critical part of that.

I disagree. If you watch the entire 50-minute video [1], everything was going very smoothly until the final question. If Trump and Vance had intended to provoke Zelenski, why would they have spent the first ~40 minutes chatting with him amicably and only become heated in response to one specific remark he made at the end?

If European leadership does this right, Europe will emerge out of this much stronger than they went into it. It has already strengthened the collaboration across the EU‘s nations, has led to higher defense spending, will lead to even higher defense spending, will drastically increase energy independence, and eventually also increase EU‘s soft power (because they would have the hard power to back it up). If they play it right
The attack involves the connection of various USB peripherals. [...]

The quirk, or non-standard coded path to handle this USB device was introduced in 2010, almost 15 years ago. [...]

The code for this device was introduced 11 years ago. [...]

The relevant quirk code for this device was introduced into the Linux kernel almost 14 years ago. [...]

This USB exploit chain shows the long-tail risk of non-memory-safe Linux kernel code, particular the large amount of device driver code introduced to handle a range of non-standards compliant USB devices. Recent efforts to introduce memory-safe languages such as Rust in the Linux kernel provide a promising option to reduce such security issues in newly written device drivers.

Thought this was particularly relevant given the recent Rust for Linux drama[1][2].

Ukraine just lost the war. Europe has no weapons to give them. They will now have no money from the USA. Zelensky was stupid and he bit the hand that fed him. Now he must live in shame and watch his country be conquered by Russia. I think Putin will change the name of Ukraine after he wins. What do you think he will call that land?
> I, for one, don’t want to keep dumping money on him throwing his citizens into the meat grinder.

Neither does he, Ukraine just wants real security guarantees.
Here is a more nuanced take imho:

* After decades of reckless spending and lax economic management the US is going broke in a number of ways. In particular dealing with the national debt before and after Covid are very different beasts

* Coupled with similar problems in other countries and gradual global demographic decline, the global future looks like a zero sum game

* In its relations with other states, America has tended to leave a lot of money on the table since the Cold War era, in order to curry political favor, which it can no longer afford to do

* Republicans speak and campaign more openly about this than Democrats even though they both agree on the fundamental ideas I just outlined

* This is why Republicans are currently ascendant with the electorate and Democrats are seeing some of their worst numbers ever in favorability polls

* It is eminently reasonable to not prefer zero sum geopolitical games because they tend to cause poverty and war, but we've boxed ourselves into this future through decades of poor decisions
Ukraine’s constitution doesn’t allow for elections during martial law. This is pretty reasonable, and the UK did a similar thing whilst we were under threat of invasion by the Nazis.

Realistically it’s not possible to hold a free and fair election while:

- A foreign power would bomb polling stations

- An invading power would try to interfere in other ways

- Millions of voters are displaced (within and outside the country)

- Millions of voters are in the armed forces at the front line

- Voting districts are occupied by an invading force and can’t really vote

That last point is pretty key, too. How do you ensure only Ukrainian citizens vote and aren’t doing so with a gun to their head? What if you manage to do this and Russia refuses to recognise your election because “you counted votes from legally Russian citizens” (which Russia claims the occupied regions are)? Then if you don’t count those votes, those Russian oblasts suddenly become Ukrainian and Russia claims you disenfranchised legitimate votes to rig an election.

All of this is why Russia (and by extension the USA) position of holding elections in Ukraine is complete nonsense.
This. What DOGE has showed is that the US government is the most efficiently run government in the world, in fact we already knew that. The corrupt politicians are the real issue.
This study has nothing to do with the claim being made by the grandparent comment.
I agree with your characterization of Europe's actions. However, belittling Ukraine and siding with the aggressor to make a point with europeans is not "articulating forcefully". It's bullying.

Red states are the welfare queens of the US.
This is a gracious response and I appreciate it.

Europe in total equals the US by numbers: population, GDP, military availability (though obviously not cohesiveness). It's not that the US wanted a weak Europe; they wanted weak individual states depending on each other and the US for collective security. No, it was never an alliance of equals; that's not the point. Collectively, NATO was incredibly strong, and what Europe offered was the battlefield. In the Cold War, the plans were that the Warsaw Pact forces would come streaming through the Fulda Gap and burst through NATO defences, crossing plains to the Rhine River and surging westwards across Europe. The NATO plan to handle this was to detonate nuclear land mines in the mountain passes, blocking them.

The NATO plan was to detonate nukes on German soil to take out the initial advance and block the second echelon of Soviet tank divisions (without Soviet nuclear weapons, tactical or otherwise, having been used). Germany OK'ed this plan. Upon detection of an imminent Soviet attack, special forces would, 12-24 hours in advance, emplace the nuclear mines (about the size of half a minivan) and prepare to detonate. NATO's warplans always anticipated first use of tactical nukes (because NATO numbers were always dwarfed by Warsaw Pact numbers) and the battlefield was always Europe. Every warplan always involved European allies taking the first blow and America responding.

Calling European states protectorates that begged for American protection really undersells the value of a relatively independent (western) Europe, both economically and militarily. Without Europe as the front line in a future war against the Warsaw Pact, America would either have to watch Europe be subjugated by the Soviet Union, or fight a war across the Atlantic without local cooperation (and the Pacific, where Japan/South Korea stood in for Europe). Europe offered intelligence co-operation and direct contact. Economically, Europe (and Japan) rebuilding quickly and participating in first world market economics was unbelievably beneficial to the US. If nothing else, the fact that the US dollar is the world's reserve currency is justification enough for US expenditures in the Cold War.

To go back to my original point, it was always mutually beneficial, and everyone knew it and was in agreement. Everyone was stronger together, and no one is in debt to anyone else.

If the cost/benefit calculus has changed, then that's just life: shit changes. All of the problems you mention are exclusive of America's (previous) commitment to NATO--American has more than enough money to attend to both. But the idea that Europe/the rest of NATO should suddenly be a defense subscriber to the US is just... America didn't bootstrap itself to the position it's in now. Its prior close workings with the free world have made all the difference, and for a while (and no longer) it seemed like everyone understood how it all worked.
Some kind of seed would do it.

I think they would basically be just the fan bit of a turbofan (where they replace a turbofan). A turbofan generates some of its thrust from the fast, hot exhaust, which you wouldn't have in an electric fan engine.

Not sure about electrifying engines for slower planes, that currently use turboprops. Would that be an electric prop too?
Perhaps this is really about keeping out potential European car battery manufacturers from sourcing their raw materials from Ukraine in the future. Trump is under the influence of Musk after all.
You got my upvote! If there's one good thing that comes out of Trump's position on Ukraine, it's Europe stepping up its own security and strength. This will be good for Europe and America in long run.

I watched the Trump Zelensky show today. I dunno about you, but I detected a possible calculated confrontation. I don't think Vance is a good actor. He took it to 11 too quickly.

These days the media demands wartime strategy be played out in real time detail. How is that beneficial for actual strategy? To counter this, Trump may be leaning into the media circus by playing some sort of ambiguous good cop bad cop card. Smacking Zalensky while buttering Putin's muffins and arguing against world leaders, might be what's needed to penetrate Putin's emotional bubble. A kind of Trumpian trojan horse. Fascinating stuff. I know many here wouldn't give Trump such tactical credit, but if he were short on tactics he wouldn't have won two presidential elections.

Not really. What does it provide that other browsers don’t? What must I give up? The open-source tax isn’t one I am willing to bear. That doesn’t mean it’s the case for everyone. But while it has value for me, it’s hot a hard limit.
Europe has always been willing to defend itself, but the US had interests in keeping EU dependent on the US for defense; It was a win-win because US could keep their large global sphere of influence and the EU could spend money on other things to benefit its citizens.

The EU will soon announce major defense spending in partnership with the UK, and the US' large sphere of influence, as well as America's superpower status will continue to decline. Whether that's good or bad is yet to be seen, but the world will rebalance itself - China is already throwing money at places where USAID is no longer present to expand their influence.
Yeah, legal words are frustrating like that. When the law comes to their house, using "acting purely as a user agent and sending data" will just help them on reddit but not on court. And no, you don't always send the data to the "address in URL bar", there can be services that are in iframes or with other add-on services like their Pocket, VPN, AI chats (ChatGPT...), similar to any client softwares sending data to other services that are not their own.

That's why they use these words, which actually can include more activities inside browser

If you redefine words and ignore logic - you can salvage anything, sure.

I'm not sure what's the point tho. If you start with abandoning logic - you cannot later return back to using it. Starting with 0==1 you can prove anything.

If Bible gets away with contradictions - you can't then accept the conclusions and use logic on them. The moment you abandoned logic you are left without it forever. Full-blown postmodernism. Nothing is true and everything is true.
