Modern computing does not make me feel good. Really hate this signing business controlled by the OS vendors. I get the added security benefits, but I'm not sure the tradeoff is worth it.

It was very interesting because it came to light the administration in power at the time, trump, leaned heavily on Twitter to promote what they wanted and hide they wanted hid. Meanwhile Biden's campaign requested revenge porn be removed and Matt and friends got extremely upset about that and called it government overreach (Biden wasn't in office at the time, of course).

Very funny when you think about it, but sad too

I've been migrating my DikuMUD (originally C) to Swift for years! It's been pretty fun and Swift is a great language for it

yep, the US fucked up by not properly ratifying the JCPOA

tearing it up and pissing all over it led directly to this quagmire

The US wasn't doing nothing about Iran though. The JCPOA was a thing, before trump tore it up. This approach is about the dumbest way Iran could be handled, which makes sense given who is giving the orders.

I can't say I'm surprised about the downvotes but it is odd, this isn't really a secret

Google freaked out that Apple had a better reputation and went all in on fucking their Android store up. Everything about it is worse now than it was before. So tiring.

maybe trying to be too clever here but i think he was implying they were in over their heads and just really lucky

I haven't shipped any Swift on Windows myself but I have a production Linux system using Swift (and C++ interop) and it works really well

Looked it up and he did say these things, pretty shocking how racist he was. RIP, hope he finds peace in the afterlife and leaves the hate behind.

I'm okay with criticizing the government response - they should have arrested him in town. But pretending he was not an awful person is beyond the pale, and I felt the comment I replied to came close to that line.

The white washing of Koresh is sickening to see. Similar to how some in the US idolize the traitor Colonel Robert E Lee.

Not for at least a decade, CNN is run by extremely hard right folks today

This is a very different vibe in the US than it has been in living memory.

To be clear, despite the downvotes, my statement is true. It is the Department of Defense. As someone who spent a good portion of my life working under it, it is offensive to me people are going along with the pretense that these idiots can unilaterally rename the organization.

There is no Department of War. This is the dumbest fucking timeline.

Your language is unnecessarily inflammatory and seem unrelated to this, unless you think the US committed war crimes in Ukraine?

My point is: Ukraine does not want Putin to consume them. It isn't the US using Ukraine, it is Ukraine asking for help. Putin's agents infiltrated Ukraine and Ukraine kicked them out (yes with intelligence and money given by the US and others).

Do you see the difference?

ARC is GC, Swift definitely uses GC.

It isn't a _tracing_ GC
