mainecoder··on Friendship Recession
Especially Post-Covid it is made more worse, also from there is reason to believe more men are lonelier than ever since in general women have more friends than men when there is a friendship recession the men you had 2 or 1 friend will be alone. The lack of third places is another commonly cited reason this is especially true in the US where any place to hang out is optimized to get your money and get you the F*@# out. Additionally, there is also a class thing in the US people not working "corporate" jobs like those in retail/walmart hourly workers are doing overtime or tired to do other things. This is also responsible partly for the current "gender war" the lack of intermingling of men and women in groups if there are not men groups and women groups there will not be this mixed group thus it's not even an us vs them its me vs him , me vs her .... Birth rates are down things are going bad and now using falling birth rates as a reason they want to restrict the rights of women in the US, a deliberate calculated effort is underway with funding political lobbying, policy prescriptions etc the ultimate goal is control they don't give a damn about falling birth rates or gender relations or women or men for that matter.
mainecoder··on Amazon rewards loyal Kindle devotees by closing the book on old e-readers
This is why having the actual pdf is better, if you can't have it offline you don't own it digitally, if you can't give it to another person or copy it or modify it then you don't own it to it simply attached to your account even with offline access.

mainecoder··on The Military Almost Got the Right to Repair. Lawmakers Just Took It Away
What will happen when the greed of defense companies outweighs the needs of the country for defense? can the defense companies continue overcharging the US government and being drunk on their profits lag behind and lagging behind lobby for the requirements of the US military to be out of date(which is already happening as we see requirements persist that still look like they are from the 1970s in an era where low cost drones, and cheap loitering munitions do not exist, era only way to track a fighter jet is long range radar that distributed camera and ir camera tracking does not exist that fighter jets have true stealth.)and once that lobby works they become over budget and late on delivering on those requirements. This thinking that the defense companies can slumber and we will still be ok is erroneous and will result in us getting humbled in the conflicts to come (having nukes will not make us impervious)

Awesome job is it possible to have predefined specing features and perhaps a layout as well for instance if I need a specific layout, font , order , certain UI elements it could be for accessibilitys' sake or preference , can you make the internal code used for app creation be configurable insuring security of course.
mainecoder··on Netherlands returns control of Nexperia to Chinese owner
What if I told you that China has more influence over the EU than it has over the Kamer der Staten-Generaal( the Dutch parliament), thus they are using the EU to pressure the dutch. The irony is that European Sovereignty is respected when all the countries of Europe are able to make their own sovereignty respected i.e. it is each of the individual states making their own sovereignty respected that actually elevates the sovereignty of Europe, the EU by pressuring, disregarding and relegating the sovereignty of the member states devalues the collective sovereignty of Europe. Additionally adversaries need only focus on having leverage over EU officials and the EU officials will do their bidding for them.
mainecoder··on Netherlands returns control of Nexperia to Chinese owner
Additionally I forgot to mention the withholding of shipments from China of the finished product that served as a public(visible) leverage.
mainecoder··on Netherlands returns control of Nexperia to Chinese owner
Well the Chinese are powerful and without the help of the US the Netherlands can't do much. Additionally, the process of moving discrete semiconductor production to China is already underway. Production in Hamburg will stop sometime in late 2029 and the R&D center in Nijmegen, Delft will close done late 2028. The US should have helped the Netherlands but now it is over the Chinese won this battle and fairly easily they did not need to use much of the leverage that they had. The commentary by EU officials shows that they used a top down approach using the EU to pressure the Dutch.
mainecoder··on Rust in Android: move fast and fix things
Rust allows us to collect paycheck rewriting code, rewriting code is so much easier since you do not have to think much about the underlying business you already have the code it's purely technical also you can just collect paycheck rewriting code for quite a while since most code bases are large easy money if you already know rust.
mainecoder··on Rust in Android: move fast and fix things
My friend told me he likes writing rust because he loves doing things that have already been done his senior pushed management to rewrite in rust and got approved after 2 months, he jokingly told him I guaranteed us a job for the next 3 years rewriting will take time. One paycheck collection strategy push Rust -> get adoption -> rewrite code (now memory safe yay) -> collect paycheck rewriting . In the meantime others will write memory unsafe code for you which is new and provide you a paycheck guarantee and the rust compiler helps you take your time when rewriting you can read the old code while it compiles.
mainecoder··on U.S. agencies back banning top-selling TP-Link home routers on security grounds
Why does this have to be a political issue the TP-Links hardware and software can be examined, this is not a difficult process that would need the greatest experts on earth a simple examination should show whether data is being sent to China or if there is any security issue that can be spoken of so far nothing. Might as well say sanction then because we need to make a distinction between a technical security flaw or economic and political reasons, if the security flaw is not articulated then it's safe to assume it is political.

mainecoder··on US hits $38T in debt. Fastest accumulation of $1T outside pandemic
as long as the military is there there is no need to worry because who decides which debt gets paid who enforces this financial rule, who makes the rule by what power?
mainecoder··on US hits $38T in debt. Fastest accumulation of $1T outside pandemic
Well I agree than Gold will have the ultimate endurance but for now the Dollar is backed by US Military. As long as the Military is Strong the US economy is guaranteed to at least be better than the median of developed nations there has not been real economic reasons for war yet but as soon as there is the economic reasons become politicized and that will serve as a pretext for taking the resources.
mainecoder··on No science, no startups: The innovation engine we're switching off
this is silly money spent on research is always going to be better spent than the numerous misuse of tax payer dollars spent. ICE has a bigger budget than NASA and NSF combined consider this how little is science being valued. We have gained tremendously from NSF and NASA and now we are seeing that only SpaceX and maybe Rocketlab could hold a candle to China's CNSA and their private industry which is quickly going to be catching up because they have the ability to produce it in scale.
mainecoder··on America is getting an AI gold rush instead of a factory boom
It is highly unlikely because the government has an explicit goal of bringing harmony, and the people have had such a uniform upbringing that even their discussions of politics is around policy effectiveness, economics of implementation and metrics where as here in the US it is republican vs democrat and the topic is about Transgender issue or something that is not policy but a belief or some intangible thing that does not make a material difference for the majority of people.
