what is the appeal of Blazor (as for that matter yew), when now there's a healthy ecosystem based on Typescript for the front-end? Is it just the ability to never leave C# (or rust)?

As an anecdote, i have a Tajik friend from Xinjiang who's seen friends kidnapped by Chinese authorities and never heard from again for daring to criticise the govt.

Isn't it also sophomoric to not drink because of some superstition originated by a guy 1400 years ago that a being in the sky will burn you for all eternity because of it?

>The CCP could have all the data they want on you but there is almost nothing they can do about it because an ocean and a military separates you, outside some fringe cases. Not yet, but they recently passed a law that says otherwise.

You are refusing to look at the bigger picture. China is at a silent war with western countries -it has been for decades. Tech is the backbone of China. We have to hit them where it hurts in order to contain them, otherwise you lose much mo

I could stomach going through all the algorithms and data structures that I learned many years ago even though we don't use most of them just for fun, but what I can't stand is the time pressure. There is no way in real life someb

Yep, can't upvote this enough. I would rather not even look at companies who have hiring process like the FAANG.

Well then China should not actively be sabotaging western businesses and governments through various means. You get what you sow. About time somebody took a hard stance towards the Chinese govt.

That's like saying building a video startup is a bad idea because everybody else including MS, Google, FB, etc. already have same tech. You just need a polished product that's appealing.

I live in Tokyo, and pretty much every neighborhood has some cafe/izakaya being run from the back of a home by a grandpa or grandma. Usually these places are extremely tiny and can seat max 4 people. I've seen some of them open al
