The Israelis will reciprocate. I’m not convinced the net flow of weapons of war is towards Israel, especially when you count the “cyber” domain stuff.

That’s highly dependent on the hardware. My router only has two ports.

Just to make sure you know this, routers are not switches. You might get some of them to sort behave like switches with careful configuration, but most of the time it’s asking for a lot of trouble.

You have three routers? Why?

Throw 2 of them out and get actual switches.

I used the Borland Turbo Vision based UIs a LOT back in the day. They were very good for their time, but they can’t hold a candle to modern user interfaces.

Don’t hint!

Make the decision in secret. Communicate it in secret. Let them get the jump on the Russians.

Then announce it.

That took long enough.

Hah, I had kids in the low-res era. By the time 4K rolled along they were already teenagers in the “put the camera away, dad” stage ;)

What are you guys storing in your phones? Mine hasn’t gotten anywhere close to full in years.

I’m starting to feel like I’m missing out on something important!

Tbf they are very quiet.

Yes!

But I’ve learned that there are A LOT of people that are incredibly pritective of react, so I generally don’t wade out into that particular debate.

I like Vue better than react tbh.

My latest project is alpine.js. It’s not bad, it stays out of the way.

That said, I don’t do front end often enough to keep up.

All the cool kids right now are mostly on JavaScript/type script. It’s probably a good place to get started since you’ll need it on the front end.

I’m guessing most work on the U.S. side is react. You can probably pick up a bit of node/react native as you go for the backend and for native dev.

Java is the new COBOL. Big corps luuuuuuuuurve it. It’s not what I would expect a single dev to use. C# is similar but smaller, if you forget unity game dev. And you should forget unity game dev.

Rust is basically a less bad C. If you do things you used to do in C, learn rust. If not, don’t.

Python is also still a thing. If you like it you can probably use it for most things, but if not there are other options.

Brown people doing things in public? Send out the cops!!!

Oh yeah, I’m accepting the frame as a rhetorical device. The frame is bullshit.

It’s pretty clear that they worry way more about escalation than we do (which is why they talk about it all the time). The way to approach this is to call their bluff in tiny increments, slowly slicing the salami until TLAMs are pounding factories near Moscow.

The “wings clipped” tweet still haunts me.

She is such a remarkable and genuine person, we are all worse off without her contributions.

Now they have demonstrated the capability, selling/giving them western missiles would not be an escalation right? Right?

I mean that’s the supposed reasoning for selling trident to the UK. Surely it’s not just a post hoc rationalization right?

do you have supermarket monopolies in the US though?

I’m not in the US. And the post is about Canada. But the problems are global.

You are right, it’s not a monopoly in the strict sense. In most countries, including mine, there are a few serious choke points in the supply chain. Basically, there’s two or three supermarket chains, a handful of specialized logistics companies (turns out here they’re one that handles all packaged cheese distribution for all supermarkets) and then a very small number of producers per item (most detergents and soaps you’ve ever heard of are from one of two companies world wide).

If you dig deeper, it doesn’t really get any better. Yes, there are a lot of farmers, but consolidation is happening as we speak. Also, all fertilizer, herbicide and most of the seeds come from the usual suspects. So, yes, there are many companies involved, but there isn’t a whole lot of actual competition.

Dude. It’s the Guardian too. No where is safe from the TERF brigade.

That’s the shocking thing about being trans in Britain. There are no allies in print or politics anywhere In the main stream. Just fascists and terfs.

Since you’ve basically retracted your entire post piece by piece now, I’m just going to go away.
