This is how every second website has looked for the past 10 years.

That's a completely different thing from AI drones or whatever (not to mention that I wouldn't trust anything the Guardian puts out, not to mention that magazine).

This is just complete fantasy.

Flagging irrelevant comments isn't censorship...

Is there any evidence suggesting that Ukraine is targeting civilians?

Don't you know that big bad Ukraine forced innocent little Russia into this war?! (Do I need to add the sarcasm mark?)

but you seem to think that getting their own soldiers killed was their goal..?

Actually, to some extent, that is the case. Russia has been conscripting violent criminals (generally murderers and rapists), who, unlike normal prisoners getting conscripted, don't have a way to "earn" their freedom and are instead sent into the proverbial meat grinder.

How so?

Definitely the former.

It’s arguably not ideal to have more than one option

It's a complete ergonomic travesty that Python doesn't have one.

At the same time, both of those games had an entire AAA studio behind them (you could consider CDPR to be AA), whereas most other AAA studios work on a number of projects at a time. Same reason Starfield ended up having such high visual "prowess", in lieu of talking about just graphics.

That whole rescue fiasco was honestly what soured me on a lot of politics. I can barely remember anyone mentioning the hundreds of kidnapped boys.

The primary benefit of consoles is a mix of price (at least in theory) and exclusives, which Sony still does.

Doesn't Boko Haram control basically all of northern Nigeria? Yes, it's incredibly rural (even deserted) but it's still half a country.

What does "white terrible" mean?

How many of those are available in the language(s) they speak, though? AI might have been used as a glorified Google Translate here.

Honestly, Boko Haram is in general just bad at propaganda and mostly confines said propaganda to Nigeria.

FYI, "Baal" is a much later invention. In ancient Hebrew, the word "Ba'al" means lord/master/husband and is often used as a honorific.

Oh, I understand. For what it's worth, some implementations do have that as an extension, although I've personally never used it. See http://www.sbcl.org/manual/#Extensible-Sequences.

I don't quite understand what you mean by generic collections in this case. Do you want to restrict a list to only contain one specific type?

In my mind, it's 2 distinct criteria: interactivity and the manipulation of symbols (whether those are implemented as symbols or identifiers doesn't really matter). I don't know about Erlang, but from the admittedly little JS I've written, I believe it achieves both criteria, even if it's worse at them than a "proper" Lisp.

Some people that are called "Nazi" today are often __way more Nazi__ than these average Nazi citizen.

No, they aren't. This is the exact thing I was talking about but you can't seem to divorce your thinking from preestablished patterns. The Holocaust wasn't some universal evil. It was a genocide of Jews. The greatest incarnation of antisemitism seen in history. It wasn't a crime against the entirety of humanity. It was a crime against Jews that got appropriated. Antisemitism is the core of nazism, but since Jewish lives are cheap, no one gives a shit about that part, or about how post-war antisemitism in Austria and Germany gave rise to Hitler and the NSDAP. They haven't "eaten" the propaganda, they lived it before the nazis ever existed. Hell, Simon Wiesenthal was forced to invent 5 million non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust simply so people would give a shit about the whole thing (I'm not even going to mention that the whole "banality of evil" thing was based on false testimony.)

And when people are actual neonazis, they get excused. If you're familiar with American politics, you can see Platner as the most recent example.

The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable’.

- George Orwell, Politics and the English Language (1946)

Without mentioning the offensiveness of your comment, what exactly made you think I was American?

As far as I'm concerned, I already hate the write-compile-run cycle, any further slowdown in that irritates me exponentially.

Have university faculty become mostly Asian too?

What does PE mean?

Can't say I share your experience. I lived in a house built sometime in the 18th century and mold, leaks, and ants were all issues.

Not really related to the post, but does anyone else get a reflexive negative reaction to a .app TLD?

That's essentially the same thing as modding a game, though. I know there have been lawsuits to stop modding, but I don't think any were successful.

Then Google can either discontinue their AI or make damn sure it's good.

Corruption like Orbán stealing my taxes to fund a palace for himself? This is the most smug, privileged thing I've read in a while. If you're fine with corruption, say it loud and proud.

No, it's just good old corruption and/or nepotism.
