Funny to see someone here who did something similar! I walked a 90 day pilgrimage from Canterbury to Rome last year, had the same sort of experience.

I did meet a young French man when I was in Italy who was on a providence pilgrimage on his bike, cycling about 150km a day with no plans of where to stay, he would show up in a village or town and just begin knocking on doors and asking people if he could stay the night. He told me he always got a place and was even offered a meal many times, and his hosts were often delighted to have his company.

The story inspired me, but I'm still not brave enough to try it myself. The idea is to trust completely on the providence of God in the form of your fellow man, very romantic idea. I've often thought how the sterile transaction of cash entitles me to privacy wherever I go, its attractive but lifeless.

Well you would have to know how to code in k, not just q, the syntax is a lot more terse and there are a lot of features missing

>Hitler was a devout capitalist.

Is this tongue in cheek?

Not really, if you want your new platform to instantly become one of the most used websites in the world. Why should he care about twitter's brand name?

Could also be why you can't find a job. You may be too expensive, and they're looking for engineers in the sweet spot of cheap/can keep the machine running.

Wow its not even an international agreement, it's just straight up an American law for Israel's benefit in particular

>Maybe they want Putin to invest more and more and grind Russia down slowly? Losing too quickly would leave Russia with too much left? Of course, the cost of such a strategy would be borne by the Ukrainians, who pay in blood.

I think this has been the conventional wisdom for a while. One thing I ask people who are vociferous in their support of Ukraine (and our paying for that support) is, how is this going to end?

Russia quietly bleeds out and overthrows Putin? Is that realistic? If Putin is a madman dictator, do you really think he'll just whimper and disappear? It seems necessary that a negotiation take place at some point, and that negotiation result in lost territory for Ukraine. It's not a question of justice, but practicality.

I'm sorry, appealing to in-group/out-group bias is a horrible way to address a point, regardless of what the point is.

Why would they want less time spent on the site? That's optimal perhaps for the user not site, and the article discusses how the site is designed to keep the user searching.

Also, these sites had a play on hovering over a video thumbnail feature that youtube copied

I'll give it a read, thank you!

Out of interest, does anyone have any book/article/resource recommendations for writing a programming language? This is something I would like to revisit, not to write a 'good' language, but to revisit all the concepts I was introduced to in college in practice rather than in theory.

I'm not sure that I like the term 'Web3', as it implies that everything will move in that direction, which I don't think will be the case. I just refer to it as the Decentralized Web. Centralization has many benefits over Decentralization and vice versa. Its a very healthy thing to happen though.

I do think it has a place, and is a promising emerging market. Which is why I've been interested in learning development in that area.

Thank you. I'm not aware of the complications of developing an anti-viral for this disease (and I'm not going to go into the debate around existing anti-virals). I did not intend to be dismissive of the effort involved. I'm coming at it from a place of real frustration.

I can't see how this pandemic ends without an effective treatment.

Vaccines are specific and usually take years to produce (this time being the exception), it was more of a question than a statement of fact because I genuinely don't know (hence the use of 'surely', it seems intuitive to me but I really can't say.)
