Also it is not illegal to speak Russian, how ridiculous. Please stop watching whatever garbage TV propaganda you are doing.

These are mostly rehashed Soviet propaganda talking points. The Baltics cannot be compared to Central Asian republics, and Soviet occupation was greatly detrimental to the Baltic nations, not to mention unwanted. Much more economic wealth was taken by the Soviet Union than ever received. The Baltics were more than capable of building hospitals, schools, etc and had fine examples of all of these. Many atrocities were committed in the Baltic nations by the Soviet Union (as indeed many atrocities occurred in all parts of the Soviet Union) Indeed, today the 14th of June is the memorial day for the mass deportations from Latvia to the Soviet Union https://www.mfa.gov.lv/en/policy/society-integration/history...
The USSR was quite literally an evil empire which rightfully belongs in the trash bin of history

Nothing in "capitalism" watches the scale of stalin's purges and dead camps. Or Mao's They followed an impossible dream straight into hell.

That all looks horrifying to me. Why do SF tech companies so love to treat their employees like children? I would not like to commute two hours a day to sit in a balloon pod or go to team camp "s'mores". I just want to focus on my work please.

Can someone explain to me where Twitter and Facebook get the nerve to censor news stories from major publications? What exactly is going on here?

Sharing a land border with Russia also tends to concentrate minds

A company I worked for decided one day to purchase budget fingerprint readers for door access. They were installed with much fanfare.
Unfortunately it turned out that the fingerprint readers were racist, and refused to allow black people into the building.
They were swiftly removed.

Twitter is cancer

As a teenager at the time it was impressed on us how important it was to not use our real name on the internet. I didn't use my real name for anything on the internet for at least 10 years after I started using it.

These news organisations should pay twitter every time they source a story from there.
Hopefully it would stop journos from writting such gripping stories as "According to some blowhard on twitter...", "These is my opinions, and to back it up here are three people on twitter who agree with me,...", "Twitter was OUTRAGED by... (several posts with five likes and one reshare)" etc, etc, etc

Powershell is the ultimate expression of the Unix pipeline imo.
Passing objects through the pipeline and being able to access this data without awk/sed incantations is a blessing for me.
I think anyone who appreciates shell pipelines and python can grok the advantages of the approach taken by Powershell, in a large way it is directly built upon existing an Unix heritage.
I'm not so good at explaining why, but for anyone curious please have a look at the Monad manifesto by Jeffrey Snover

You may not agree with the implementation, but the ideas being it, I think, are worth considering.
