That kind of evidence usually turns up when the suspect ends up shooting people. When it's already too late.

You can always use Crystal or Dart if you want builtin types. I like Ruby the way it is an trust Matz with his language design decisions.

Yup, I wrote smartcard reader programs in it. Some of them talk to a http server using async-http. It can be used for anything that Perl or Python is good at, well maybe except data science because Python really shines there. And irb is mas

Dunno, it has to be some energy beam because kinetic ammo needs replenishing. In space. So laser, microwaves, EMP etc. Maybe it could ignite the ICBMs fuel somehow, as most of the missile's payload is the fuel.

Too much hype around it. It's a subpar van experience as in not quite practical, but an ok family car, drives very nicely. See: https://www.topgear.com/long-term-car-reviews/volkswagen/id-...

Apart from human rights, it's up to those individual groups to defend them, not to society as a whole. That's why you've got Trump, because other parts of society are pissed off with DEI policies.

Good luck with that. Last I checked most more countries went to the BRICS summit rather than the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. https://policyexchange.org.uk/blogs/brics-and-the-commonweal...

What's the use of a pan EU military when most EU members are already in NATO? Just to add Austria, Cyprus and Ireland to a pan EU force? Rather than that allow a share of EU funds to be used for members' militaries and adopt commo

Trump is talking out of his ass. The US doesn't need to annex Greenland, just set up a few bases there which can be more easily done. But even that has less benefits now than it had during the Cold War. If one wants to intercept hy

That only encourages Putin in Ukraine and maybe other parts of Europe.

Hydro turbines are almost always peaker plants, with Niagara as an exception. Geothermal is base load. They don't really compare.

You look at the electricity bill. If it's much higher than usual, it's most probably either a BTC mining operation or an underground Cannabis farm.

Biometric databases will be hacked and leaked, criminals will perform cosmetic surgery to assume new identities. > US drones + US satellites that enable global connectivity of drones was a rather obvious consequence of Starlink ~4 years

Google also made Dart which is better than Js in every regard.

Heh, he's so right in every regard although I use Node. Worst of all, they made npm packages dead easy, so most of them don't even have a readme file, not to mention inline docs like POD or RDoc. This is how you end up with spam p

Bob Dylan has Jewish heritage as well, although I don't recall him writing any Christmas songs.

Because C syntax makes pointers harder to use and understand than they really are. Also constraints around pointers, casting etc. I still clearly remember figthing the C compiler and getting back "makes integer from pointer without a c

And it uses html instead of stipid component templating that reinvents html with different semantics.

Yup, I once drank water from a stream in which cows were pooping upstream. It had a distinctive taste. Nothing happened. I guess got lucky.

It loses the login every few months to the point that I got fed up to repeatedly login and obtain the token again and never touched it again.

Add Tiktok to those as well. In fact it should be the first one banned along with Meta.

Putin is playing with fire manipulating elections that put borderline fascists in power. Especially in the US. He might be in for a dissapointing surprise. We shall see. The only way to win against the US is to divide it from within and&#x2

It wouldn't have worked anyway. The ROK has a history of right wing patries abusing power and violent student protests clashing with riot control police. That is hard earned democracy. If he thought the people wouldn't be out in t

They're technically still hold the #1 ballot but now they need other parties to form a coalition, just like in other European countries (Germany, The Nederlands). Which is not that bad, because this party was founded by those trained b

Even voting is influenced by social media campaign as recently seen in Romania, Moldova and Georgia. The right approach is ban the behaviour and fine the perpetrators like the EU does. If you can't punish the perps, fine the ad deliver
