So the current status from before all this? Hope you are right, would be good for all of us.

I think it might be the latter. There is a lot of weird people online, but I don’t know that many of them in real life.

Of course! What would be the use for a machine that could only work when I am also in the office?

I honestly think British food is some of the most underrated in Europe. It is unfortunately a few years between each time I visit, but I am always blown away by the tea houses and pub food over there. Of course there is a lot of bad fastfood over there, but pointing to that alone would be like judging Norwegian food by our frozen pizza.

While I agree that would solve much of the motivation behind rewriting in rust, I don’t think it would bring many of the rust-enthusiasts over to C. For me at least, the killer feature of rust is having a modern tooling and language with proper library management, functional stuff in the language and one language standard everyone agrees upon.

It is ca. 1 pm here, and I am amused. Thank you for your funny picture random person on the internet :)

I would recommend looking at the Norwegian system, where each region elects multiple candidates proportionately to the local votes, and all parties above a certain percentage nationwide shares a pool proportionally as well. It’s not perfect, but it gives a sane amount of different parties without the inevitable deadlocks of 100-party systems. The national pool limit can tune the approximate number of viable parties.

I had a look at some of the recordings, and the whole thing was just poorly executed. Surely the us military can march better? I have seen kids in school wind orchestras get drilled to a much higher standard in a few evenings, some of the soldiers were walking completely out of beat with the rest.

I would have agreed with you if I thought such a war could have been fought conventionally, but a single nuclear missile slipping through the air defenses would be too high a cost to pay for anything outside NATO.

And how could we do that without Eastern Europe, London and Paris being turned into self illuminating parking lots?
