More proof that a nation with "world reserve currency status" can do whatever the hell it wants until the world decides to move to other currencies. Alas, such nation is using violence (abduction+piracy+war), threats and coercion

His example criticizing errors in `rootInfo` func is silly. There is utterly no need to do a `strings.HasSuffix(err.Error(), "not a directory")`.

They never run out of "their" money either. Can keep borrowing until eye-watering values are breached, making out like bandits and then run to the govt for a bailout when the bubble bursts.

I have observed that people who are used to Onenote mainly like it for its inline-box style notes which can be inserted at any point in the page. Obsidian due to its markdown backend can't support this. Unless you painfully mess with t

You have to fix your problems yourself. I say this as a citizen of a nation in South-East Asia. Do not depend or cheer external actors like the U.S. to solve internal issues - they will only use and throw you away. The U.S. is also a nation

Sure you removed the "bad dictator". Gratz! Will you now leave Venezuelan oil alone ? I am guessing not. The U.S. oil companies effectively become the new dictator behind the scenes, at-least until people realize they are being me

Yes, and oil will now flow to Florida - for as long as an obedient US puppet lives. The gal who actually won the election is not obedient enough for Trump since she doesn't have "support and respect" of the nation according t

WinUI 3 is basically utterly pathetic bul_sh_t attempting to pretend that it is a UI framework. A wet paper plane passing itself off as a passenger aircraft. Please compare with a real desktop UI framework like GTK or Qt. Or just a more m

Windows Phone was actually doing well and adoption was taking off when Nadella came in and killed it. It didn't help that they changed the app framework and then blamed lack of apps. Such a brain-dead decision.

What "flawed argument" ? All facts and evidence have been provided - the measured nitrogen dioxide increase of ~80% will harm the respiratory system. Folks who cause harm should be punished not excused.

The U.S taxpayer already pays for this. ~40% of FDA-approved drugs have direct NIH funding behind them. Nearly all modern drugs rely on NIH-funded foundational science. Taxpayer money additionally also floats through BARDA, DOD and DARPA.
