  1. Russia attacked directly after Ukraine removed their nonalignment leadership. I'm not saying Ukraine changed its constitution before the attack, just that the 2010 law was evidently possible to reverse.

    Even if Russia didn't attack, Ukraine would've gone back to NATO alignment just as they were doing pre 2010. Maybe even more seeing how the entire point of the 2014 revolution was to push away from agreements with Russia, and the protest leaders were all loudly pro-NATO politicians. How could this possibly have led to nonalignment, aside from "this is a Russian talking point"?

  2. Reminds me of when people were clamoring for the ability to delete 1P apps to save space
  3. NAT is way harder to screw up than a firewall, especially in cases where the defaults were left untouched. Also what the other commenter said about your internal addresses being at the mercy of the ISP.
  4. It's just Brave browser, you don't multiply by the number of every kind of service
  5. Important part missing here, they didn't tell anyone about the affiliate URL rewriting and only removed it when caught.
  6. Is he the one responsible for the 2016 MBP? It took Apple like 6 years to fix everything about that
  7. So are you an expert on Venezuelan politics? I'm not.
  8. If the answer is "nobody" then yeah. Venezuela doesn't have nukes. North Korea or Russia aren't going to nuclear war over a country they don't even have a security agreement with, or even if they did. The US has already attacked Iran, Iraq, and Syria (under Assad).
  9. Why does history have to start in 2010 for a 2014 war? You're picking a Russia-backed presidency that was getting ousted before Russia attacked. There's no way they were going to stay nonaligned. That 2010 law was just a law, signed by the president, undoable by the next (and it was undone).
  10. I don't mind Liquid Glass. What annoys me is how it's seemingly someone's full-time job at Apple to periodically make me relearn how to find my photos or open Safari tabs.
  11. It'd be fine if it didn't lag horribly
  12. Reminds me of how OSX used to treat opacity in app icons as not part of the hithox. So I'd accidentally click the hole in the "O" for Outlook and it wouldn't open, haha.
  13. Biggest downside of Mac OS has always been this. It doesn't provide a stable platform for third-party anything.
  14. My wife only knew R and still had a way easier time using Python than R for some simple data science stuff. I gave her one Python example and she took it from there.

    There are things that are hard but have gold at the end of the rainbow, like SQL. CSS isn't like that. Idk about R, I ragequit it too fast.

  15. I used React before learning it, it was fine. There are still simple things that absolutely require CSS hacks but are easy in React.
  16. Google could still exist but add Go to killedbygoogle.com
  17. DBMS can be any of the major SQLs, and NodeJS will have a pretty small driver lib for it.
  18. Isn't JS the same? But seems like people tend to make a lot of exception types in Java with inheritance, which I think is overkill.

    Typically I'll only have a couple of exception types that my own code throws, like user error vs system error. If I want more detail than that, it goes into the exception payload rather than defining many different types of exceptions.

  19. The error handling is by far my least favorite aspect of Go. It's tedious and dangerous. It should either be like Rust or like JS, there isn't a good third option.
  20. I'd rather have exceptions so this is done for you. Not really an option in Rust due to overhead ofc.
  21. GCP has had some multi-region outages
  22. Google still suffers the most from not understanding those two. Probably more than other companies.
  23. It's ok if the users are internal
  24. Nuclear war with who?
  25. 2014 yeah, only under Yanukovych who was on Russia's side. 2005-2010, Yushchenko publicly stated that he wanted Ukraine to join NATO and was taking steps towards it, while both Bush and Obama supported expanding NATO to Ukraine.

    "I welcome the decision by President Viktor Yushchenko, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, and Parliament Chairman Arseny Yatsenyuk to declare Ukraine's readiness to advance a Membership Action Plan (MAP) with NATO" -Obama

    Before 2005, there were already smaller steps taken, including granting NATO military access. 2005 was a disputed election with both Russia and US involved.

  26. Oh also they didn't even set up that pipeline during all the time we were there
  27. Ok, to put it this way, we'd have gone into Afghanistan with or without the possibility of a pipeline.
  28. They don't pay us anything to sell their oil. We have a relatively small partnership with them, but that's about it. And they're part of OPEC, which is deliberately designed counter to US interests.
  29. Ah, I understand. Well having dnsmasq fully automatically run DNS isn't crazy at all if you're using DHCPv6. If you're not, it sounds unreasonable for you to need to spin up your own DNS server.
