didn’t have an issue, but here's an alternative geocities mirror page I found: https://www.oocities.org/unixmanpages/ircnames.html

I posted this mainly because I found two titles I wrote and it was an intensely nostalgic experience

Fair enough, however there are a lot of other areas of CS I would use Rust before frontend.

Also, easy to work with completely depends on personal preference but at least for me Rust isn’t too high on that ladder

Can someone please explain how Rust and frontend converge so often?

In my mind Rust is similar to C++ including the very ugly syntax and fixation on memory management, while frontend languages are well.. exactly not that. Why?

Make sure your quotes are plain quotes and not smart quotes.

They used to have a bug with those

Haven't used windows 11, but there were times when 999999999 was a valid cdkey and there were times when you had to activate the OS with Microsoft servers

I always thought that when revenues are too high these companies need to raise expenses so they could have places to trim for rough quarters up ahead. Therefore the hiring strategy in 2020 was sound.

I've also seen the reverse, Netflix not curbing on shared accounts and Microsoft having really limited anti piracy tooling early on, allowing them to keep revenue reserves for the future

Well, they are known not to have correct answers, but in my brand of ethics risking the lives of people that are destined to die in order to save millions is pretty clear cut

Especially during a war where Dresden was fire bombed and Hiroshima was nuclear bombed

Train loads of people were coming in daily to be slaughtered, over 80% were killed on arrival and were not kept as prisoners, while deaths among prisoners was very high.

This was not a static prison camps that kept the same people during the war (except for very few). That’s why I think this was effective even if bombs had hit the living quarters themselves.

Auschwitz was effectively a factory of death. Bombing the gas chambers, crematorium, rail lines might have helped.

Also forgive me if I have assumed because of the context that you argued through analogy for protecting minorities of harmful language, my bad

Jews in WW2 needed the Allies to bomb Auschwitz, they did not need Churchill to stop using the word Jew because it is offensive.

It is not similar, unless if you have the preconceived notion that 'language is action'

> Photoshop breaks Arabic. We even have a website that will break our Arabic so that Photoshop breaks it back to normal. Yes, Adobe is aware. No, they do not care.

Photoshop since time immemorial had a Middle East edition (ME) which supported RTL and used to curb piracy

I don’t know how it’s with their new pseudo-sass but I think they integrated it into their main product
