Your statement doesn't make sense. Most Americans do support Israel and are very opposed to Putin and Russia. Check the polls. Which is why it's suspicious that JD Vance and Trump seem so afraid to upset Putin. The idea that Russs

Many people have inherited great power and wealth and squandered it. That's the default case. Philip inherited too. He built on his father's very considerable success, just like Alexander built on his father's. Amyntas III -&

1. He never lost a battle and conquered more territory than anyone in history, all while leading from the front. He's considered the greatest military leader in history by most every other great military leader in history (are you a be

And yet most people who inherited the same as he did would have done nothing of note with it and faded into obscurity. Like most of the Macedonian kings before and not long after. Reality is complicated...

Just throwing it in here in case it helps someone: if you have migraines, get an eye exam to check if you need glasses (you might not realize it!) and that your prescription is still sufficient.

He's been posting on Twitter obsessively for years now, it's definitely one of his worst addictions. He blew $44 billion to satisfy his cravings, which has to be a record spend on an addiction. But he's also addicted to drugs

I really thought his inauguration performance (the drugs, the saluting) would finally wake people up to what's going on what Elon Musk. To anyone who can see it (maybe it takes some relevant life experience), it's patently obvious

Not really because "Staff software engineer" has become the new "Senior Software Engineer" due to title inflation. It's become an essentially meaningless distinction at many companies. Case in point, this person has

Well these are just anecdotes but "five times the amount of code" is an outlandish claim. I've done direct ports of code written in more expressive languages (Python, Scala, others) to Go, and also created SDKs in multiple l

There are some useful features that Go really should add, and enums might be one of them, but lacking a useful feature doesn't mean its not well designed. The results are in for Go. It's already one of the most successful programm

The criticism that Go is for "average programmers" almost universally comes from people overestimating how good they are. I've worked directly with hundreds of highly paid programmers over decades. I can count on my fingers t

You can point out flaws so it's not well designed? By this logic nothing is. And pointing out missing features in a programming language is just about the weakest criticism possible. Piling on lots of features is easy and fun. That&#x2

I used to have migraines and eventually had one with aura. Turns out I just needed glasses. Having an out-of-date eyeglass prescription can probably cause the same problem. (Posting in case this helps anyone)
