> Basically they've overspecified their datastructures and we're now paying the price

I strongly disagree, and I'm perplexed how anyone can describe fundamental traits such as object lifetimes of fundamental infrastructure such as standard data structures of being over specified.

Just imagine the shit show it would be if upgrading your compiler broke your code because std::set started leading your code to throw exceptions because they sneaked a major breaking change such as moving objects that should not be moved.

It's also perplexing how breaking backward compatibility is depicted as a perfectly acceptable thing to do to a major programming language while completely ignoring the ability to release code as a third-party library. If the new implementation of a std::set alternative is any good, people would be lining up around the block to adopt it. I mean,it's already a standard practice in game development to use custom data structure implementations with custom allocators. Why is this not an option, but breaking half of the world's code suddenly is?

Money quotes:

> From 2021-23, FMS sales averaged $55.9 billion per year, a 21.9 percent increase over the 2020-22 average of $45.8 billion per year.

Followed by:

> Poland was the single largest FMS customer in fiscal 2023, with over $30 billion in transfers.

I wonder if the article boils down to "Poland bought $30B of military equipment all of a sudden".

> The world is feeling so free.

A significant portion of these transfers went to Ukraine. Thanks to them, is managing to resist Russia's 3-day invasion for the second years and counting.

Given Putin's repeated threat of nuclear Armageddon and annexing west Europe up to Lisbon, undoubtedly the world feels free thanks to its ability to oppose these imperialist ambitions of a few tin-pot dictators.

> Feels kind of gross to include the nieces observation that he had been stressed as some kind of counterpoint to the statement in the title.

You're grossly misrepresenting what the nieces actually said.

The article is quite unequivocal: the quote in the article is literally "stressed and depressed".

Why did you opted to omit the reference to depression? Do you think direct statements from his family should be ignored but your personal baseless assertions should take center stage?

In addition to that, here's what his own brother had to say about the apparent suicide:

> “He was suffering from PTSD and anxiety attacks as a result of being subjected to the hostile work environment at Boeing, which we believe led to his death,” the brother said.

Why is this fact glanced over?

> You have two options: -highly accomplished and highly experienced engineers were actually too stupid (...)

You're making quite clear you are the type of person who is extremely quick to accuse everyone and anyone of being incompetent in the absence of evidence or in spite of evidence.

You do not need to Google too hard to find tons of open-source benchmarks of real world servers showing off performance gains from switching to HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

But here you are, claiming everyone is incompetent and that their work was bad. In spite of all the evidence.

It's clear that you have nothing relevant to say about the topic and no evidence to even suggest your beliefs have a leg to stand on.

You wrote a wall of text about a link, but you failed to paste a single link.

Enough.
