There isn’t any that I’m aware of - most governments fall victim to the rich and powerful, one way or another.

Oh I’m not pushing for them to “keep waiting”. I personally am of a mind that if you’re going to do “real communism” then just do it - don’t know how that works or looks, but we inevitably end up with governments like China when going the s

That’s all just a matter of preference though. I personally like how allowlist and blocklist sound, and they also immediately convey intention. You may also be biased towards whitelist and blacklist if you’ve heard them your entire life - i

This is the correct response. The origins of the terms are less important here, and often people get hung up on them. Whitelist and blacklist are indeed ambiguous, and they also create negative connotations that could reinforce other, actua

“Soviet style communism” quickly became authoritarianism, especially under Stalin. He was communist in title only imo, with a focus on genocide and foolhardily believing that eliminating people with actual education in their fields and repl

An argument I’ve seen is that we haven’t seen a truly communist country yet. The most promising ones (imo) were smaller countries who’s communist ambitions were stifled by American-backed coups. Many of the earlier communist leaders like Le

Correct, at least from my experience. In my personal projects I was heavily Vanilla JS, but I also didn’t care if IE didn’t have full functionality (I did try to use graceful degradation when functionality was important, like navigation), b

I think this is the slight rollback response to when they originally locked everything until it became known that I doing so they began DDOS’ing themselves. My guess is making top level tweets public mitigated this for now.

Yeah, parroting memes poorly and saying “I’m rich, biotch” oh stage with Dave Chapelle isn’t exactly funny. He’s worth more than most of humanity combined and that line falls flat - heck he even got booed for it.

Right, I think the person you’re replying to is partially correct in that the parser gets to “<br “ and recognizes that “this is be a br tag”, but it doesn’t close because tags can have any arbitrary attributes, and the W3C says br may a

I grew up on Windows and Linux, but a mostly daily Mac user for more than a decade now. I think the app vs window centric model really comes down to user preference - I think I could get used to window again but I had Chrome, Audacity, and

I definitely prefer in avoiding surprises. In this case the review was upgrading and migrating from Vue 2 to Vue 3 and, while the rest of the team was in the loop and aware of coming changes, the change set itself was massive. I definitely

I understand the desire to make larger patches, but how do you effectively manage them in the review process? For super large commits in the past, I’ve had other engineers hop on a screen share to review the diff together and answer questio

I would even think OP could research and send a very bare bones C&D, and possibly get a couple local (potentially free) consultations on that to learn more. If the other entity doesn’t reply favorably then assess the cost/reward[1]

The history of the bad rap for MSG largely comes from racism (yay!) and then “studies” used to support this and to paint immigrant-run restaurants in a bad light. Like almost any substance, a lot of MSG isn’t good for anyone. In the amoun

I think that’s always been known, but the tacit agreement between users and Twitter has always been “I’ll post my content and anyone can see it, if they want to engage they make an account”. From a business perspective this feels like a big

I mean, it’s clear the Musk overcorrected. The fact that managers were asked to name their best employees, only to then be fired and replaced by them, or that musk purposefully avoided legal obligations to pay out severance/health insu

In theory, wouldn’t continuous scraping by AI farms et al put a log of this infrequent data into cache though?
