Had Biden done anything remotely similar it would be the top story everywhere. When Trump does it the news makes a small mention and labels it an "odd detour". How compromised are the news organizations?

> The world hates everything we produce -- our food, our movies, our culture -- but they end up consuming it in droves. The US has for the most part produced the best movies since... The beginning of movies I'd assume.

The double standard that US in particular has with providing Israel with weapons and protection vs withholding defense and capabilities with Ukraine is frankly disgusting. (And by western standards I do not mean US standards. By western sta

I personally like some types of ligatures, but I think it's good to not use them when others should read the code.

You can look at it the other way: Russia is so far gone that even the opponents of the current leaders in Russia are crazy by western standards. The same is true for the critics of the Ukrainan invasion. They dont want it to stop, they want

For me the big problem with the lack of macros is the unergonomic json conversions. In Rust for example you use a simple declarative approach and it uses the type system to serialize/deserialize properly. But in Gleam you need to do ev

Nah this is wrong. Ecto for Elixir is a big counterexample. You're focused on OO ORMs as the way to simplify working with queries, but FP approaches it slightly differently.

Running compute nodes in cars is honestly an even dumber idea than renting out your own car as a taxi.

> You can't be that lazy, or you would use a language that doesn't force you to do memory management. Eh, depending on what you're building you don't do much if any memory management in Rust. You just declare what you

And maintenance, with adding features to legacy code and debugging, is much more common (and important) than getting small green&field projects up and running.

Maybe the senior developers are just jaded having to maintain code that nobody, not even their authors, know how it's supposed to work?

This is the biggest reason I cooled a bit on Gleam and whenever I want to do some backend stuff I'd much rather use Rust (using serde to convert to structs) or Elixir (put it in dynamic maps). I wish Gleam would implement some kind of

The evidence I've been seeing is that progress with LLMs have already slowed down and that they're nowhere near good enough to replace programmers. They can be useful tools ro be sure, but it seems more and more clear that they wi

Mozilla is appalling. Not only are the disgusting people in charge running Firefox towards a slow decay into obscurity, they're also treating their fellow human beings as garbage. Not surprising, but still. I can't wait for Ladybi
