Dont make the mistake of anthropomorphizing Mark Zuckerberg. He didnt open source anything because he's a "good guy", he's just commoditizing the complement. The "good guy" is a competitive environment that wou

shrug we were doing all of these at a small scale even before the war. Articles that brag about delivering the equivalent few weeks' worth of Russian industrial production to the Ukrainian front lines every 6 months actually kind of

It'd probably be a bit less winner-takes-all without the capitalist dynamics that make it such.

Can you use VPNs outside of your infra (e.g. protonvpn, mullvad) as an exit node?

If this were the intention we'd be building drone factories, steel forges, munitions factories and hiring troops instead of buying overpriced F-35s for which american permission to operate can be withdrawn at will and which have proven

Im afraid spending more money on American arms which require American consent to work because "daddy" demanded it doesnt really count.

It sure would be nice if the western world didnt have the same relationship with America that Belarus has with Russia.

In precisely the same way that the Nazis wanted their conflict to end with Jews emigrating to Africa (Madagascar according to their original plan) or vanishing into thin air.

The story of programming is not largely one of humans striving to be more reliable when programming but putting up better defenses against our own inherent unreliabilities. When I watch juniors struggle they seem to think that it's bec

to be fair, syncing is something that appears simple on the surface but which is a mess of complexity under the hood.

Have you tried holding Jira to a higher bar? I don't know how. I'd rather somebody just layered a conversational UX over it.

by pydry 1y ago
It's not the solution to every problem but it's a great substitute for a infrequently used app with mediocre UX and most of the world's apps probably do fall into that category actually.

Diplomacy is always a murky world but in this case there is one and clear stand out example where what you said is true. It was announced that Minsk 2 was purely meant as a stalling tactic to allow re-armament. Unfortunately for your little

I'd have taken the March pre-2022 deal rejecting NATO alignment in a heartbeat. In fact, even as the deals Russia offered got steadily worse they were always calibrated to be a better alternative than continuing to fight and lose. NATO

In general America considers non puppets to be puppets of another country and considers only its own puppets to be truly "free". This is as true in the middle east, europe, africa, south america or asia.
