“Computer, replace all the whitespace indentation with curly braces and put a semicolon at the end of every line, in order to convert my Python program to Rust”

I already understand exception handling, concurrency, typing, etc.

But I only know the exact syntax for some languages

Now I can replicate the best practices for those concepts in a language I’ve never touched, and I can understand what it does because I know the equivalent syntax in another language and so I can also judge the quality as well

I’m sorry but this just doesn’t match my experience. I have used greenlet, Node.js, asyncio, POSIX threads, kqueue, and uv and just recently I had to look at something that uses tokio (Rust) and I would never say confidently that just because I know the syntax of one concurrency library, that looking at a different language and equivalent library I can immediately judge the quality and understand what it does.

That is just not realistic

I can’t really determine how much of Europe’s talk about Russia and Ukraine is posturing and how much is serious, if they actually got called on it. They’re right there so any “limited exchange” wouldn’t really feel that limited.

I have believed that peace in Ukraine means having to give up claims to parts of eastern Ukraine.

I had hoped that perhaps the Trump administration would at least not be like the Biden administration, but frankly I had forgotten how America never keeps anything it promised under Trump (Iran nuclear deal torn up, and now the American hostage exchange with Hamas) OR the Biden administration.

So I’m not sure where we go from here. I don’t see a peace deal being made.

I know right

immediate consequences i’m seeing of this is that internet comments are getting really comfortable with doing out and about antisemitic hate speech

I would argue that perhaps you are just more aware of it. The use of the (((them))) is a 4chan meme from twenty years ago and all of this really leaked out of 4chan around a decade ago when Trump announced his candidacy

Yep this is the audiophile community. The same kind of people who buy Monster cables

Just wanted to wish you luck!

“Have you looked at the social security actuarial tables lately”

I was going to say “Who?” until I looked at his bio, he helped start Django which I use. I need to go lay down.

I agree with Jeffery Sachs when it comes to his analysis of the Ukraine war but I’m not in agreement with him about the US lab leak theory.

Honestly I don’t believe any theory that is being pushed about the origins of COVID being a deliberate, conscious act, because most of the theories are being pushed as part of a geopolitical strategy.

Mr moneybags over here

I saw the word “Megatoken” on The Orange Site so I think thats the unit by which things are priced.

But what about all those hours I spent torturing myself learning jq’s filter syntax, and jmespath ?
