hahaitsfunny··on Crystal Programming Language
You can ditch Nims GC and runtime and bring your own if you want. Of course you'd lose access to most of the stdlib but this is why Nim can be used and is popular for embedded / bare metal.

Tmk Crystal still lacks Windows support as well and probably other os's / archs's compared to Nim

hahaitsfunny··on Spate of polio outbreaks worldwide puts scientists on alert
Probably that Zionist Israel's longtime allies are also reporting the virus in their countries. Many theorize the Rothschilds still run things, via the WEF and other NGOs and that Zionists in Israel were behind COVID-19 and are the real movers and shakers. At least it sounds like it's following the lines of this conspiracy / theory to me.
hahaitsfunny··on Universal influenza B vaccine induces broad, sustained protection in mice
Eh, they still get funding and money from rich elites and the government either way. Many board members in big pharma served in the government and many former politicians serve on the boards of big pharma. The conflict of interests is amazing, but I'm pretty sure they all made out well enough on COVID.

Klaus Schwaab and the WEF too, since they were running virtual scenarios on zootonic novel coronaviruses breaking out and mandatory lockdowns, etc... a year before COVID-19. Then he wrote that whole COVID-19 the great reset book. Seems like everyone's making a killing off these vaccines, and the world population, are well, just dying.

From a virus, which still hasn't been confirmed, to not have originated in a lab. Or a group of experimental vaccines rushed into production. One of the two.

hahaitsfunny··on Uber broke laws, duped police and built lobbying operation, leak reveals
Sounds like there's a lot of violent crime happening there in collaboration with the local police, according to the ramblings of some random drunk dude on the street. Right...
hahaitsfunny··on Medicare Could Have Saved $3.6B on Generic Drugs
Oh, I know - most likely it will contribute to more death and destruction or as you described, wind up in some corrupt official / warlord / oligarch's pocket. There are no good guys in corrupt and evil wars, yet people love to try and pick one.

If folks new the whole story behind this war and the history of the region and US / NGO intervention in it, before throwing their support blindly behind a cause because their government and media told them to, I believe the sentiment around this war would be much different and no one would be cheering either side on in it.

It's just like Medicare and prescription drugs though - trusting citizens expect their government to enact policy that has their best interests at heart. Then they don't, and they turn around and vote for them again anyway. Then they'll wag the finger across the aisle and find some other virtuous cause to distract from the fact they're being screwed over by the very leaders they voted for, that turned around and lied to their faces. Military industrial complex, big pharma, our state-run media - It doesn't really matter what sector the federal government decides to get in bed with, people complain about it and then go right back to the polls to signal their willingness and intent to go through with another cycle of it all over again.

If you're angry about this, I can't imagine how angry you'll be when you find out our government sent 40 billion to pay Ukranian pensions from another illegal proxy war they helped start and have funded for the past eight years.

The US government doesn't care about its citizenry and the two political parties play off one another to further enable their own agendas and further divide the citizenry. They are no different and neither has our best intentions in mind. They do whatever they can to retain and hold onto power, and once in positions of power they abdicate their duties and do whatever they want or fulfill the agenda of whomever they are bought by. The sooner people start realizing this, the better off everyone in this country, and the world will be. It's not like the US is the only country where corrupt and morally bankrupt leaders are running the show.

hahaitsfunny··on Uber broke laws, duped police and built lobbying operation, leak reveals
People on here pretending like unelected rich elite influencing politics via NGOs by meeting with elected government officials in Davos every year isn't a big deal or anything to worry about, and that Uber's behavior as well as the behavior of corrupt world leaders who enabled Uber, is justified because Taxi companies and labor unions are also corrupt.

People unconcerned with this stuff are probably the same folks who think Klaus Schwab is a benign leader of the WEF which is just some benign global humanitarian organization, and that when Schwaab talks about penetrating government cabinets, and people owning nothing by 2030 and liking it, it's just a conspiracy.

This is one of the major problems with the world - tech overlords and globalists have everyone brainwashed into thinking this dystopian shit is normal, and that we should accept it, or that it's necessary to build a "sustainable" future - whatever that means. Sounds to me like the rich and powerful will do whatever they can to become more rich and powerful, damn the costs. Their purported ends justify their means, no matter how violent, destructive, unethical or immoral.

Edit: I just thought more about this. This article literally painted a scene at one point where the effing POTUS, supposedly the most powerful person in the world, was being spoken to like a child by the CEO of a corporation, and then changed policy on the spot after being bullied around at a secretive conference that I won't even get into the sketchiness of. If this isn't concerning, I don't know what is.

Great - he created another site that embraces censorship, echo chambers, and mob rule, very similar to twitter, just with a tech / academic theme. Amazing accomplishment.
hahaitsfunny··on Historical language records show surge of cognitive distortion in recent decades
Yeah, well much of accepted history from that time is up for debate - from who funded the Germans and Soviets and their ties to industry and banking in the US and Europe. The current energy and inflation crises are caused in parts by similar global forces pursuing agendas today. I don't think revolutions will be forms of inward-directed change, but more as a result of financing by global elites similar to how Lenin and Trotsky's revolutions were funded by wealthy financiers in the US and London. Kennedy's father also helped fund the Germany war machine.

As you pointed out - we find ourselves in a similar political climate but not because of the people who elected these governments but because of the globalists who still run them behind the scenes, just like they were doing prior, during and after WWII.

hahaitsfunny··on Ask HN: Where are all the senior front end engineers?
I've been working on it professionally for over two and I still abhor it. I think it's much worse than it's ever been.
hahaitsfunny··on Ask HN: Where are all the senior front end engineers?
I personally disagree. I find the internet and web browser to be the least interesting portion of the computing stack - I get my kicks doing graphics programming and systems programming. The browser and web are the last technologies I want to write code for in my personal time. This is why computing and programming a great though, no matter what your interests are, you can probably find some niche or specialization that suits your personal interests and strengths.
hahaitsfunny··on Large-scale ‘sand battery’ goes online in Finland
Yeah, well Europe becoming more dependent on US crude which is 5x more expensive than cheap Russian crude (which more of would have flowed into Europe if Nordstream 2 had been completed) is exactly what the US petroleum companies want. Biden and those who support his administration are using this as an opportunity to push their green energy agenda here in the US, and most of the equipment manufactured for solar comes out of China.
hahaitsfunny··on Ask HN: Where are all the senior front end engineers?
Well also, the low barrier to entry in the web development world means literally almost anyone can become a "developer" or an "engineer" just by following some stupid React / Vue tutorial. The problem is - this doesn't include knowledge fundamental to being a strong computer scientist - like understanding how a computer works or how data is stored and retrieved in memory.

I think the web offers a very limited slice of what folks can potentially learn about computing, and this is why many folks don't stick around in FE for long.

hahaitsfunny··on Ask HN: Where are all the senior front end engineers?
Wouldn't "full-stack" engineers be coding the frontend themselves?

Sounds like some of this strife and frustration and criticisms being levied has more to do with organization / management vs why there aren't as many senior FE developers as compared to other specializations. I doubt the situation at your organization is the same everywhere.

hahaitsfunny··on Ask HN: Where are all the senior front end engineers?
Because senior engineers realize what a dumpster fire the modern web is and then don't want to work on it since they can make more doing backend feature dev just as easily if they learn another skill set / language.

There is also a limit to what you can do in a browser. Many folks get tired of working in this environment and want to branch out and explore more areas of programming / application development.

Also, the constant churning of overengineered tooling, libraries, and frameworks in the modern web ecosystem is another big turn off for a lot of folks.

hahaitsfunny··on Roe's overturn is tech's privacy apocalypse
They're constantly promoting the topics of critical race theory and BLM which one can easily lump in with other Marxist mass movements. Whatever the Biden administration feels is important tends to be what they cover - so right now it's all about race, how shitty America is, gun violence, LGBTQ+, etc... They never talk bad about the federal government, and they only give one side in any debate a platform - those who agree with their sentiments. No one else gets airtime.

I guess if you believe everything the federal government tells you, and you believe the federal government is a benign hegemon, then you'd have a tough time classifying NPR's content as misinformation / un-American. I don't fall into that camp so many of NPR's claims are debatable and the fact that the only give one side a voice and push for a neoliberal agenda, makes them anti-American in my humble opinion.

hahaitsfunny··on Roe's overturn is tech's privacy apocalypse
We might as well go back to the social contract then. My comment written to open up some historical debate about when the downfall of America started, but to point out that big tech is a fundamental contributor to the destruction of the fabric of America. I never claimed there were no other contributors or that it started with the advent of big tech.
hahaitsfunny··on Roe's overturn is tech's privacy apocalypse
Yeah well, I believe the OP's comment was typed in reference to abortion, not mothers taking illicit substances and their pregnancies not being viable because of that.
hahaitsfunny··on Roe's overturn is tech's privacy apocalypse
NPR is funded by the federal government. They rely on the same fact checking services (the IFCC, PolitiFact / Poynter) that are funded by Soros, the Gates, the Clintons, the Koch foundation, etc...

They're probably the most anti-American media outlet in existence and I wouldn't trust the words they print further than I can ball them up and throw them.

hahaitsfunny··on Roe's overturn is tech's privacy apocalypse
Where did I mention progressivism or conservativism? Neoliberalism is intrinsically tied to politics because you can't affect economic policy without getting involved in the political system...

Regardless, your implications surrounding my comment, and my intent by making it, are incorrect. Both movements have been disastrous for the United States.

hahaitsfunny··on Roe's overturn is tech's privacy apocalypse
Neoconservatism too. Let's not forget about Bush, Blair, Powell and Iraq...
hahaitsfunny··on Roe's overturn is tech's privacy apocalypse
I'd go even further and say that tech is fundamental in the destruction of the fabric of American society.
hahaitsfunny··on Mastering Nim – now available on Amazon
No, it is not - Nim's compiler backend is extremely complex and full of cruft. I've been around Nim for 7+ years now and there's a reason the compiler was hard forked.

Nim's compiler is definitely not speedy, and this is why so much effort has been spent on incremental compilation, which tmk, still isn't working - https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/19757.

hahaitsfunny··on The Pentagon uses a secret program to wage proxy wars
The US didn't win WWII - the Soviets did the majority of the dying and fighting. Don't get it twisted.
hahaitsfunny··on The Pentagon uses a secret program to wage proxy wars
The US was doing their best to cover up their involvement in the region since 2014, with secret CIA training programs for Ukranian paramilitaries etc... It definitely hasn't been "very public" over the past eight years.
hahaitsfunny··on The Pentagon uses a secret program to wage proxy wars
Have you looked into who funds the media and their fact-checking services like PolitiFact (Poynter), and the IFCC? You might be surprised to find it's may of the same groups / people - George Soro's open society, Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, Clinton foundation, The Koch foundation (interestingly enough) etc... When the same folks that lobby and buy politicians, own the media and fact-check their own stories, the government doesn't need to "control the media". They're both already being controlled by some people with very deep pockets and substantial political connections.
hahaitsfunny··on The Pentagon uses a secret program to wage proxy wars
Let's not forget about Ukraine too with the CIA training far-right paramilitaries to fight Russia...
