That’s more what I was getting at - I agree that it does seem like she’s getting targeted a bit for a comparatively minimal amount of shady things. Not an excuse, but it does feel disproportionate.

That’s ok, we’ll just film you and dox you and… well. I leave it there for now, but you can fill in the blanks from that point.

If the metric is stupid and the metric is also tied to comp, there should be absolutely zero surprise when everyone starts gaming the metric.

I mean, prosecuting corruption is good, but also, the amounts stated in the article are 4-5 orders of magnitude smaller compared to the overt embezzlement and looting going on in the states right now

Geneva Convention, Protocol I, Article 39.2:

It is prohibited to make use of the flags or military emblems, insignia or uniforms of adverse Parties while engaging in attacks or in order to shield, favour, protect or impede military operations.

So yes, I believe that would actually cover it.

Oh, most definitely.

Several months back I was kinda pulling my hair out over the frustrating state that Apache Airflow was in, because (due to my company’s infosec, SQA, and regulatory policies) I found some delightful mutually-exclusive transitive dependencies when I tried to diverge (with version upgrades to get past CVE-marked releases) the constraints from the officially-packaged constraints.txt. Though, that’s packages, not actual lang level.

Were you around for the 2 -> 3 migration? Now THAT was a categorical shitshow.

Well, yes and no.

He also started it to distract from the Epstein files and new revelations therein.

He also also started it (well really, jumped on the bandwagon, if we’re being technical) because Bibi twisted his arm to do it and sold him on the idea that it’d be easy peasy, and orangeboi is a fucking imbecile and easily manipulated,so he believed him.

The fact that it helps his handler is, I think, more of an incidental “benefit”.

Ok that’s actually an excellent point that I hadn’t accounted for lol

Well if you had the means and good sense to leave Russia, but still kept all your assets in a Russian account, do you really have “good sense”…?

I know why we ended up where we are. I know the history because I was there: with the Lua/LuaJIT schism, people wanted to support both environments, and targeting 5.1 was a good way to support both. And then 5.2, 5.3, etc. came along and people wanted to keep supporting the latest PUC-Rio Lua, but still felt tied to the 5.1 anchor. I’m sure I’m partly to blame for this because I engaged in this and helped others, by maintaining compat-5.3, itself an evolution of compat-5.2, with a history tracing all the way back to compat-5.0, which predates my involvement with Lua… and then we’re talking over 20 years ago.

So I haven’t worked with Lua myself, but is that right? There are forward-incompatibilities in minor versions…? Because that honestly seems pretty fucking stupid. Making basically every version include breaking changes and refusing to follow semantic versioning standards that are designed to essentially account for that is pants-on-head stupid.

That’s not really an applicable context tbh

Jesus I can’t decide whether to laugh or cry 🙃

“Everyone knows what the problem is: The organizations that bring young staffers to Washington, D.C. have spent the last decade prioritizing blind ideological loyalty instead of competence or intelligence,” said a senior GOP congressional staffer, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel issues. “We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots.”

Oh good golly gosh and gee whilikers, I wonder how that possibly could have happened?

Honestly mildly surprised they didn’t unload a couple on the dogs just for shits and giggles.

UAF, after conducting a drone saturation attack on the factory in the near future:

They literally stopped tracking the pathogen that is causing this. They know what’s causing it, but they stopped caring a good bit before this started.

face-eating leopard noises intensify

Lmao what is going on with that Austin Powers stuck-in-the-hallway bullshit at the beginning? 😂

Sounds like you shouldn’t be fucking landlording, then, because if I pay rent, I can do literally whatever the fuck I want that’s non-destructive and doesn’t disturb my neighbors.

What a consummate tool, holy fuck.

lol wow.

My dad has insisted for ages that “they won’t touch Medicare or social security because that’s a third rail”.

I honestly cannot help but have a bit of schadenfreude at all the naively optimistic status quo enthusiast boomers who will be shocked - shocked, I say - by this eminently predictable development.
