“Czechoslovakia is not my problem” vibes. How did that end up?

So having western troops in Ukraine should also be fine if they stop at the russian border right?

More like democracy good, but justice is not a popularity contest.

In a well run country that requires a supermajority of some kind of council picked by different groups like some representatives for the judges, others picked by the legislature, etc. which avoids any group having full control of the courts.

“identify”? What makes you believe that the CCP will respect the right to self-identity? As every other reactionary authoritarian party they see everyone with a working uterus as cattle.

completely ignores all the vote buying, voters threats and propaganda done by a fascist regime in Russia because the world is clearly a black and white Hollywood movie, while posting leftist posts

Your imbecilic idiologic forefathers that were sucking Hitler’s dick when he invaded Poland in 1939 would be proud of you.

AWS SLOs are going to shit aren’t they?

In other news: Chinese marketing departments caught up to Western marketing departments in overselling their products.

As IBM said in 1979, computers aren’t accountable, and I would go further and say they should never make any meaningful decision. The algorithm used doesn’t really make a difference. The sooner people understand that they are responsible for what they do with computers (like any other tool) the better.

Up to 2022 the general vibe was that NATO was a remnant of another era, because almost no one believed Russia was stupid enough to start a large war in Europe. In this mindset having an half functional NATO wasn’t a full catastrophe.

That’s not even a Chinese innovation. At least the Chinese gave Mao a proper burial instead of desecrating his corpse Christian saint/Lenin style.

Google paradox of tolerance.

Unfortunately, despite its name, it’s a Thirth Generation Programming Language (you asked for it).

It naturally contains some of the buzzwords of the time, such as fourth-generation programming language (4GL). If you’re not familiar with that term, suffice it to say that the Wikipedia page lists several examples, and Cobol has outlasted most of them.

Lots of 3GL outlived most 4GL languages, C, C++, C# Java, Ruby, Python, and even newer languages like Rust and Go are 3GL. In fact so did plenty of 2GL (assembly languages).

Programming language generations are about usage and level of abstraction not about being obsolete.

How long until Belarus asks NATO for air defense?

The initial phase of colonisation in Africa (until the 17th century) involved mostly religious propaganda, unequal trade and miltary alliances with existing political powers in Africa. Look, for example, how Portugal, and later the Netherlands, slowly eroded the sovereignty of the Kindgom of Kongo and compare it to what China is doing today.

TLDR: African leaders are making the exact same mistakes with China as their predecessors did with the European powers.

You know, there’s plenty of Syrian refugees that have skills France actually needs and also learned how to speak French and are not cozying up with criminals and dictators. I wonder why Macron doesn’t give them French nationality.
