The US is better than ever, so yes.
XajniN··on DeepSeek banned from U.S. federal civilian agencies under new DHS order
That’s not how it works. The training material in Chinese is more likely to mention DeepSeek. LLMs are not aware what model they are.
XajniN··on US imposes sanctions on ICC hours after former judge wins Nobel Peace Prize
Those bases are stonger and more organized than the host countries’ militaries.
XajniN··on What happened to the Snowden archive

XajniN··on The four-day workweek in Australia: insights from early adopters of 100:80:100
> Are "climate science" and "computer science" not science?

Computer science – applied mathematics Climate science – writing doom papers because they bring budget

Did you use them as examples on purpose?

And the most correct.

You do, even if you are not an enemy to them.

You are not aware of the interests of your enemies.
XajniN··on Meta Platforms: Lobbying, dark money, and the App Store Accountability Act
Your answer doesn’t make any sense to me.
XajniN··on LMArena is a cancer on AI
Your social bubble is making you biased. An average human is quite dumb.
XajniN··on Libgodc: Write Go Programs for Sega Dreamcast
This is awesome, but it’s even more amazing that it even exists. How many people actually make software for Dreamcast? Why?
XajniN··on Codeberg Reaches 300k Projects
Why would you want to damage GitHub?
XajniN··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)

For whom and how it’s better?
XajniN··on macOS 26 new Launchpad sucks, I replaced it
Not bad. Some suggestions: - make it behave more like the original Launchpad (e.g. click on empty space makes it disappear) - make number of columns adjustable - make font and icon size adjustable - I should be able to go back from a folder with a swipe or the back mouse button - I should be able to select multiple shortcuts (e.g. by holding CMD) and move them to a folder

But, this is already better than what Apple gave us as a replacement for Launchpad, thanks! Will you add it to Homebrew?

You’ve never seen `public static class Extensions` in a project named Something.Shared?
XajniN··on We regret but have to temporary suspend the shipments to USA
It's not a bold faced lie, it's a relative truth. An importer needs to pay the tariff upfront, before pushing the increased price to the final consumer. This has an immediate effect on the exporter.
XajniN··on Jane Street barred from Indian markets as regulator freezes $566M
There is so much more in life only if you have money.
XajniN··on I failed a take-home assignment from Kagi Search
I don't like the "take-home" interview tasks, but this one seems reasonable and actually interesting (maybe because my relatively recently found love for CLIs). If the language was C# I would apply.

Do I get some bonus points for being born in the same country as the founder?

XajniN··on $70M in 60 Seconds: How Insider Info Helped Someone 28x Their Money
There is a chain of command in the military, you have to follow orders even if you disagree with them (unless they are unconstitutional). You may express your disagreement to your superiors, but you may not publicly distance yourself. She would be courtmartialed for this in most militaries, and probably in the US as well in a more serious situation.
XajniN··on Bond rout starting to sound market alarm bells
US-related businesses are the only buyers of ASML’s most advanced machines. The 300 million American customers are worth at least 3-4 times as those 400 million in the EU.

So, while China has better cards than the US, the EU has no cards at all.

No one wants less consumption, you want to pay less taxes. The only way to reduce taxes is to reduce spending.
