imcritic··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
But there's no genocide in Ukraine towards Ukrainians even now when "cannons speak": liberated civilians aren't killed or imprisoned, instead, criminal Russia dares to give them homes, pensions and employment (and not a forced one)!
imcritic··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
Chances of what? Of winning in a war against a far bigger country with bigger military complex? It could just avoid the war (if followed Moscow's demands (and Moscow didn't demand much)), but I think it had no chances in winning a war.

As for the 3 days - you seem to be uninformed, just google how fast Russian forces captured Gostomel airport near Kyiv.

Then Zelensky threw white flag and peace talks started, but then Zelensky changed his position and now it's a war to the last militant Ukrainian.

As for NK - they were just on an excursion to learn from Russian battle front, since NK is now Russia's ally and this was done just for the case if/when this war changes into a WW3.

I bet the economy of U.S. will only prosper under Trump and Vance.

Riiight. Just when someone you don't like gets elected as a president - you instantly claim that that country isn't democratic anymore.

You, Germany, need Hungary selling you Russian LNG, as you, Germany put your head up into your ass with sanctions against Russia.

You either change your position or your economy will continue to degrade and more of your factories will get closed and you will lose more positions on the market of automobiles and will get higher unemployment rate and higher unrest levels. And given your multicultural policy of welcoming Muslim immigrants - the unrest may get accelerated with just a few more "incidents" where someone rides into a crowd again or decides to start a jihad on some street in one of your cities.

U.S. should have responded to the letter that Russian president sent to U.S. president in 1991 suggesting that Russia should join NATO in the future.

U.S. ignored that suggestion.

And when almost 9 years later Putin pitched the same idea again - he was left ignored, again.

EU and U.S. reap what they sawed.

imcritic··on WASM Wayland Web (WWW)
Why would anyone want this? Is the author evil or just stupid?
imcritic··on Show HN: While the world builds AI Agents, I'm just building calculators
I don't see the issue being fixed: try to calculate investment of $1M with 20% annual interest for a loan with 0.5y duration. The calc says the income would be 0.
imcritic··on Show HN: While the world builds AI Agents, I'm just building calculators
I tried your interest calculator and it fails. Maybe because it accepts duration in years and I've specified 0.5 (with quarterly payouts).

I didn't get any errors, just the wrong result (0).

I think the main problem is the poor choice of units: user should be able to select even days as units, not just months/quarters.

imcritic··on War rooms vs. deep investigations
How is that not racism if it's discrimination by origin of requests?

I bet money she doesn't block requests by such a wide filter if the origin is USA.

imcritic··on War rooms vs. deep investigations
That would expose her to the others, so obviously she doesn't manifest her blocks to everyone, she just configures her servers to drop packets received from specific origins.

It used to work directly and now it doesn't.

It works via foreign proxy/VPN, but I'll just stop visiting her site from now until she stops with her racism.

imcritic··on War rooms vs. deep investigations
That's a very stupid generalization on your side. And again: you talk about some customers as if I came to her site to buy some service.

No.

I just used to read her blog.

Now she can go to hell with her racist discrimination.

Easy for you to speak like you do until you personally get in a situation where you get discriminated for something like your origin.

That's even worse than being discriminated for skin color.

And again, that's very stupid of you to think that people from "good" country won't exploit your site or that all people from "bad" country only come to your site to exploit it.

You are as disgusting as she is.

imcritic··on War rooms vs. deep investigations
I don't know you, so I don't care about your services, block whomever you want.

Rachel has a weblog, she writes articles, I used to come to her blog to read them, I am not a customer of any of her services.

Now that she blocks users by their origin - I see she has no problems with being discriminatory. That's a shame, I thought of her a bit higher than that.

imcritic··on War rooms vs. deep investigations
She configured her server to block requests from certain nations. One could suppose that's just due to some misconfiguration or something, but in fact it became a quite popular trend nowadays.
imcritic··on War rooms vs. deep investigations
That's a shame that Rachel turned racist too...
imcritic··on Perplexity Deep Research
Does perplexity offer anything for code "copilots" for free?
imcritic··on Gixy: Nginx Configuration Static Analyzer
I tried. I failed to configure it to work as a proxy that proxypasses to php-fpm.

I'd call it's configuration way less intuitive than the one of ngnix (and I wouldn't call myself a great enjoyer of ngnix configuration).

imcritic··on We were wrong about GPUs
What a good and open and honest blog post. And I liked a lot the way it is interlinked with other interesting posts from that blog. I wish I'll have some time to read more articles from that blog.
imcritic··on Extend Extra Extreme: keyboard extend layer mappings
That site is propaganda. Ukrainian forces have fascist battalions (azov), but you probably support them.

A numpadless atrocity.
imcritic··on Beej's Guide to Git
Git is wrong in some regards: they introduce an entity "branch", but it is not stored properly, it's like virtual data.

The proof that there are really no branches in git's storage is a simple task that's not achievable in git:

suppose you had some branch, but you don't remember it's name, then you branched off and issued some commits. Now there's no way to get a git history consisting of just the commits introduced since you branched off.

imcritic··on Beej's Guide to Git
It is quite bad and uninformative, you better not spread it.
imcritic··on Httptap: View HTTP/HTTPS requests made by any Linux program
No, you are wrong. I would. The pod would be mine though.
imcritic··on Show HN: I made an open-source laptop from scratch
This seems to list some components multiple times in a versioned way, did I get it right that this is rather a whole list of components you've bought while working on this project rather than the final list of the components needed to assemble the notebook you've built?
imcritic··on Show HN: Stratoshark, a sibling application to Wireshark
Can this program do more than just observe and trace what happens?

Can one use it to set up some rule to suppress some of the syscalls sent to a specific process? Or alter them by some logic on the go?

On mobile I get

imcritic··on Egui – An immediate mode GUI written in Rust
Yes.
imcritic··on Are Immutable Linux Distros right for you?
SteamOS is not a general purpose OS, yet you mention it as if it is one.

macOS is not immutable at all.

imcritic··on Firefox releases tab groups for nightly
I want tab groups in Chromium :-(
imcritic··on Show HN: K8s Cleaner – Roomba for Kubernetes
Improve it! Teach it to figure out if the resource is managed by ArgoCD or FluxCD and then suspend reconciliation.
