There were many empires throughout the history. Of course there were very few at the scale of your examples. We didn’t had internet or ability to fly and sail bunch of tanks across thousands of kilometers within days. But history shows that intend was always there

We just gonna have other bully. That’s how power vacuums works

Infrastructure is there to be used by apps/services. It doesn’t matter how it’s created if infrastructure across providers does not provide same API. You can’t use GCP storage SDK to call AWS s3. Even if API would be same, nothing guarantees consistent behavior. Just like JPA provides API but implementations and DBs behavior are inconsistent

Thanks! I didn’t thought looking them up as “Famine in Russia”. We started this conversation from Holodomor. When Amnesigenic was speaking about “that area”, so I wrongly assumed we talking about Ukraine territory only. Not to say there was no famine in other places, just did have associations with broader famine of 31-33.

Going back to “periodic famine” argument, I don’t see how 3 times in 600 years is periodic and that’s including famine in 1315-17 which affected entire Europe all the way to England. I’m sure there were couple others which went under the radar.

But I think it’s delusional to claim Holodomor was not man-made taking into account that major USSR’s ex-member Russia stated that it was “famine caused by forced collectivization” and “strongly condemn the regime that has neglected the lives of people for the achievement of economic and political goals”. So no, it was not yet another periodically occurring famine

IDK how you know did I try or not. Sorry I didn’t spent whole day searching of info you claim to be true when it took me 5 mins to debunk your other claims. If you have some rare knowledge or you are some sort of history expert you are doing poor job spreading what you think is truth.

You need a source for what dates of establishment of Ukraine SSR or ASSR? Or Tatarstan femine, that is first hit in search - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1921–1922_famine_in_Tatarstan. You are so protective of communists so I assumed you knew some basic dates on topic. If you don’t, that’s also first hit in search. Let me know if you need help with that.

Also, adding “lol” doesn’t make it stronger argument, lol.

Couldn’t find any info on periodic famines at that area. Do you mind sharing any clue, like name, specific area, years? Genuinely interested.

On communist part. Ukraine SSR was established in 22, Holodomor started in 32. Famine in Tatarstan started in 21, year after Tatar ASSR established. So something not adding up. Even if one ignores those. There were no famines after USSR collapse in both areas. Feel free to point one if I’m missing something.

Wow, who could’ve thought China will choose their cheap labor over local. Hungarians got owned by their politicians, again.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d always choose html over js if I could. My problem with css, and web in general, that it’s too fragmented. It’s like those people who are designing css, html, js and browsers didn’t speak to each other whatsoever. So now there is entire industry of js frameworks to glue all shit together. Like, look at the WebComponents. Which supposed to be native, out of the box replacement. So much effort and they still cannot compete, in some cases they simply do not provide basic features needed to build complex UIs. Next time I can choose stack I’ll probably just go with htmx

Don’t know about tailwind but I used styled-components and not going back to vanilla css. CSS seems to be designed to be used with HTML, which did make sense back when it was created. Modern web is 99% JS and components composition which does not work well with Vanilla CSS in terms of class name uniqueness, specificity. Also it easy to dumb shit with CSS, like, I worked in the project where we had a lot of legacy global CSS. We had like dozen CSS styles which were adding margin to <label/>, <p> and so on. I mean no classes, just globally. I’ve been forced to add ‘all: unset’ to basically all my new components just to avoid changing global styles and breaking something else. Do not recommend.

Explosion?

It’s not like I’m deciding on customer’s IT policy

I’m doing cloud migration now and one of assumptions is that two regions in Americas is enough for resilience. I’m in danger

Nope, JS is “You think you are nerd”.

Also, why React is there? It’s a lib not a language

PRs should be exactly as big (or small) as task requires. It’s task that needs to be split into smaller task, if it makes sense to split of course.

AFAIK, the whole thing managed to continue so long because protesters refused to affiliate with any political power or have any formal leader. This because once it gets political, government accuses them to be agents/sponsored/influenced. It became an excuse to ignore or suppress. EU should be very careful to not compromise Serbs’ fight for justice

My understanding Quantum field theory says virtual particles can be created out of vacuum fluctuations, which makes me think there will be more energy after expansion. Again, I might be getting it wrong.

Does it mean space being created out of nothing between things? I’m not good at it but wouldn’t that violate conservation of energy?

I feel like people are complaining about wrong thing. At least for me it’s not a problem that there are different communities. To me problem is same posts. What would be great is to have same posts merged into one post with comments from all its duplicates. This way communities are independent, lemmings don’t get to scroll same copy-pasta and discussion of same thing is visible cross communities/instances. Question is how we define “same” is it carbon copy of post, or same content only? Alternative titles can be shown if content is same but not title.

What you expecting called natural sorting. Mac employed natural sorting back in 90s. What you get is legitimate Alphabetical sorting which used by Linux and Windows. Natural sorting parses tokens in the string and compares them. Alphabetical sorting compares two strings by comparing individual characters at same index (position). Alphabetical sorting is quite common as it simpler to implement (or rather harder to screw up) and yields predictable results

One of many libraries for Python which implements natural sorting https://github.com/SethMMorton/natsort
