You’re really claiming the U.S. military cannot stop the Houthi attacks?

Yes, absolutely we cannot. Everytime we drive by we roll the dice with hundreds of lives.

And stop reading western propaganda! It's bad for you.

That said, the simplest response would be to give the Saudis a weapons deal to secure the coasts. You have to blow up the ports, which will trigger a humanitarian disaster.

The saudis have BEEN a humanitarian disaster for longer than either of us have been alive.

Interesting that they chose to capture him alive. Surely this poses a great problem to the administration. Maduro didn't exactly commit any crimes....

This is a horrifying way for any country to act, and millions of people will be hurt. Truly a travesty of the greatest order.

Eh macos still has usable apps and an actual design language. Windows/bsd\linux/minix/whatever need to sort their values out to compete

Hey macos obviously still sucks ass, but it sucks ass less than all the other options. The userland situations for linux and windows are both horrifyingly, incomprehensibly bad. Just look at their reliance on a single fucking key "control" for all operations when that was always an inexplicably bad choice. You have so many fucking keys, why douboe dip when it defacto cripples both cli and gui contexts?

but once built properly they always just work for me

If you figure out how to reliably do this, you're a rich man

Sure, but nvidia has always been seen as a liability for basic operation of the computer. Their driver quality is notoriously as bad as it gets. Nouveau fixed this.

I guess I don't subscribe to the same hysteria about russia you do. I'm far more worried about how my own country behaves, i'm extremely cynical about european leadership including this exact attitude you profess, and I don't trust the people who run this place. All of these things I fear far more than i fear russia

Look if russia wants to conquer the world, let them. They can't make things worse than the indolent ivy-league rot that has destroyed western culture. If people braying about the threat of the east want to be taken seriously, they need to make a much more concerted effort to convince us that the western model makes sense and we're not just working our asses off to suck off rich retards

Installing the nvidia first-party drivers (downloaded from the nvidia web site) will fix a lot of things.

Crazy—it used to be that nvidia drivers were by far the least stable parts of an install, and nouveau was a giant leap forward. Good to know their software reputation has improved somewhat

Only compared to windows. Sadly, we're still stuck with a PC clone for the near future.

In the USA at least cancel culture seems to be dying out and people no longer feel as obligated to be politically correct or self-censor

Americans have always been assholes and proud pedophiles. What are you referring to?

Is rust simple aesthetics to you? Why use rust, or any language at all really, at all then? The whole point of formal languages is to point a gun at the people who refuse to be adults.

If we can't have this, C itself offers zero benefit over assembly.

This persona is the heart and soul of the "weirdly emotional about languages" archetype along with ruby fanatics. Look, y'all have notable and significant value, but only in very specific and unusual circumstances

If Rust optimizes based on borrow-checker assumptions

This is a binary assumption that you can understand to evaluate to "true" in the absence of a borrow checker. If it is "false" it halts the compiler
