“Corrupt third-world country” is what we’ll end up calling most Western countries if we keep applying double standards in our justice systems.

I agree that unnecessary printing is wasteful. But i would see this just as anecdotal: Having information structured consistently and a easily accessible format. That makes a difference in the long run

AWS and GCP also use local Chinese joint-venture partners to comply with Chinese regulations. Warm greetings to Moscow!

I think part of the grief is losing the way we learned to do something we loved. Most people care about what software does, not how we made it. The hard part is accepting that what makes the job satisfying for us isn’t always what makes the result useful to others.

Australian company so: lol. Snowden triggered a few narrow real wins but the broader surveillance apparatus adapted, survived, and in some ways grew. Things were just legalised.

So we should only address the symptoms and not the cause. What are you saying?

Modern AC units are heat pumps the same box cools in summer and heats in winter, more efficiently than a gas boiler.

What is your stance on heat pumps? Conservatives here, who use the same talking points as you, are against them and they prefer to use oil and gas.

And is 5c a extreme night temperature? Where are you from? I'm not from Europe I think.

Exactly. There is plenty of code change however introduced by bundlers who do “bundling“, polyfill injection, minification, this kind of stuff.

Germany is in no position to go against the USA's geopolitical interests. Sure, they do trade shenanigans sometimes, like with Russian gas, but the relationship with Russia was pretty good before Putin decided to hold power endlessly - he even gave a speech (in German) in the parliament. But in the end of the day, those times are over; only extremist parties are pro-Russian, and Germany still has the 2nd largest US Army presence, including 15-20 US nuclear bombs parked here. It's unthinkable that any government here would go against "Western" interests and support Russia.

absolutely nobody used those outside of a language demo. We also got --erasableSyntaxOnly last year to remove them from the language. The TS team considers them “mistakes“ for a really long time now

A strong possibility? Where do you get your news from?

I had keyboards upwards of $200 with a very nice design but they have their Bluetooth switch underneath the keycaps ... and usually don't ship ISO versions. What keychron is delivering for the price is just amazing.

This is a minor point. It gives the government broad power to reject any request, associations and media outlets are excluded, it costs more and the mandatory REDACTION OF NAMES is undercutting accountability completely.

Yea, I don't give a shit wether only citizen should be able to request data.

"SPD will block this" is contradicted by SPD already voting for the identical Berlin version weeks ago.

I used to be a hardcore Cursor user until I spent more time with the alternatives and cursor has gotten rough on my machine lately: spins up the MBP fans in minutes and drains the battery in an hour or two on the go. The harness is great, but eventually someone will build something equally good that is not vibe coded to death.
