Honestly not necessarily the worst idea. I don't know about Iran, but I have family in Israel. The general consensus (backed by recent polls) is that Bibi is just keeping war going so he can stay in power. The average Israeli is not as genocidal as their leaders. They just have to choose between mandatory military service where they will likely just patrol a border and not let aid through but probably not die or directly kill anybody, or commit a major crime by dodging military service and risk their lives. At 18 years old I don't know if I'd have the courage to take that risk. But Iran is different, they can actually cause risk to "important" (read: wealthy/powerful) civilians. Could sour the public on Bibi enough to oust him. Maybe.

I'm honestly worried mango Mussolini might try the same thing in 2028. Maybe he'll get food poisoning from eating a Danish, call it an assassination attempt and declare war on Denmark. "We can't have an election right now, we're in the middle of the GREATEST war we ever fought against the MEANEST nation in the world. We're gonna WIN. MGAA (make Greenland America again)!"

How is #6 not specific to IDEs? I've never had vim, np++, or any other dedicated editor freeze; and I've used them to edit multi-gigabyte log files before.

Out of curiosity, what is the original?

Any of the cluefinders games, or gizmos and gadgets. Plenty of other edutainment classics do it too. Outside of edutainment, only NHL2000 and Halo: CE come to mind.

Dvorak with caps lock as a dead key here. No programmer's Dvorak despite being a programmer... Never quite made the leap

I grew up in Durham region (Bowmanville specifically). This absolutely checks out. Luckily some of Bowmanville is somewhat walkable-ish (about all you can hope for in Durham), probably because of the sizeable Dutch immigrant population of old Bowmanville I'd guess?

This is always my thought when I hear that kind of response too. "Replace US hegemony" great. With what? China? Russia? India? Iran? Maybe the EU would be better, but I don't see an EU hegemony replacing US hegemony successfully any time soon. I feel like in a lot of ways the US dominated world order is/was a lesser of 2+ evils... We might be about to find out what the greater ones are :/

I think self hosting the proxy with the services at hobbyist scale mitigates most of the security risks. The single point of failure risk is another matter. I once had to effectively reverse-hack my services by uploading a Jenkins test job through an existing java project to regain access. Ever since then, I maintain a separate ddns address that's just used for emergency ssh access.

I believe it stands for Free/Libre Open Source Software. I think the idea is to explicitly indicate both free as in beer and free as in speech. However, to me it just sounds like throwing in a romance term for the sake of it. But maybe I'm just ill versed on the whole free/libre divide?

One of the rare cases where I hear of a death and check wikipedia to still see the word "is". I wonder how long confirmation will take.

So we meet at diefenbunker.ca? Sounds like a plan! 🍁

Ada, hands down. Every time I go to learn Rust I'm disappointed by the lack of safety. I get that it's miles ahead of C++, but that's not much. I get that it strikes a much better balance than Ada (it's not too hard to get it to compile) but it still leaves a lot to be desired in terms of safe interfacing. Plus it's memory model is more complicated than it needs to be (though Ada's secondary stack takes some getting used to).

I wonder if any other Ada devs have experience with rust and can make a better comparison?
