You still can have fun, but first drink verification can.

>Apple is trying hard to destroy the concept of an "Album"

Why though? Honest question.

Unless they, somehow, rip a hole in the hull. That would be FUBAR.

> Languages evolving and borrowing good ideas from each other* is not the same thing as hyperbolically sneering at some of the most popular programming languages in the world because they're supposedly all converging into one single language, which they never were doing and never will do.

And yet PHP, Java and C# MVC web apps looks all the same in both syntax and structure. Same syntax for interfaces, classes, namespaces, entity models, query builders, controllers, views and so on. A modern Symfony application looks almost the same as a Spring one.

You should see Zig's interoperability.

> Surely there must be some reports of the outage by now?

Not everyone is AWS. There's a lot of obscure software providers nobody cares when they're down.

> YMMV, but I tried to self-study out of "Art of Electronics" and I ended up giving up because I didn't feel like I was getting the fundamental basic circuit analysis skills that I needed to actually comprehend everything they were doing. The difficulty level ramped up very quickly, at least for me.

Same here. "Practical electronics for inventors" ended up being way more approachable.

> Jews seek refuge from Antisemitism in their historic homeland, immediately get attacked by 7 nations. But this is all their fault, of course.

Of course. That's what happens when you unilaterally found a country on someone's else historic homeland and start an apartheid state.

> Right, all these Jews in Israel are using "many dirty tricks". Thanks for demonstrating, once again, that biased attacks against Israel are heavily laced with Antisemitism.

Ah yes, the antisemitism card. Obviously.

> Note that genocide means the (attempted) deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group[0], shooting civilians deliberately or accidentally is not genocide.

That's semantics. Endless wars without a purpose and thousands of death civilians, what's the difference?. Drone flattened a school? Though shit. It's war so you cant call it genocide.

> So why doesn't China allow independent investigations into what's really taking place? Maybe if they weren't hiding the truth people wouldn't be so quick to fill in the holes with their own stories.

Why they should? The burden of proof is on the accusers. "Independent" investigation guarantees nothing. Eg WMD in Iraq.

Reminds me of computer virus research in the 90's. "we've found the polymorphic encryption algorithm...". Ok? That's not akin to discover some function on a biological virus. It's just discovering other (even worse, contemporary) people's work. Just like a "reaction" YouTube video, it adds nothing new.

Yeah it's eight 0 but nobody knows in what order they are. That's the top secret part.
