If it doesn't, what's the point using it? Trusting it with your workflows, your code?

Since this is under the "Next Steps" section, it's pretty clear to me that the €200M fine is a fixed one-time fine that was issued now, but further, repeated fines ("periodic") will be issued if the hazard is not removed.

I'm not amused. Are you amused?

> They created a new society on the land.

I see my message didn't quite get through.

You're almost there however. Think one step further: What stops the next "immigrants" from renaming your cute "society" that you currently have there, and declare a proper, civilized society, with a proper culture for once?

As a European, I also support this. Natives should not have to compete with all these new people for housing. Real Americans really need to begin advocating for themselves. For their material interests.

Come back where you belong.

> immigration should be slow enough that they can be thoroughly assimilated before they change American culture

I support your idea. Would you agree that all immigrants that arrived in America after, let's say, 1493, have to leave America and apply for citizenship?

If you don't agree, can you propose another immigration year after which you'd have to leave America again? Would you agree on 1783?

If it isn't, it absolutely should be.

The penalty cannot be high enough.

This is exactly what Uncle Bob predicted in his talk "The Future Of Programming" [0] 10 years ago, way before LLMs.

Why not simply use NewPipe [0]?

You also get ad filtering and you can download Audio/Video streams from within the app.

In PHP, an established tool is adding GrumPHP [0] to your dependencies.

It will then handle git hooks on each commit via composer script by default (but can be omitted per commit).

IPv6 will never make it. Maybe IPv8 [0], which IPv6 should have actually looked like:

FastAPI is quite old (2018)

Svelte even older (2016, SvelteKit was just an new version in 2022)

SQLAlchemy is ancient (2006)

Use newer tech, like HTMX (2020)

(/s obviously)

MySQL does not let you have transactional DDL statements (alter, create, index etc).

If you're building anything serious and your data integrity is important, use Postgres.

Postgres is much stricter, and always was. MySQL tried to introduce several strict modes to mitigate the problems that they had, but I would always recommend to use Postgres.

Exactly. That's my point.

When saving, it simply should say "Exporting pic.jpg".

If you want to draw circles, you're probably looking for a vector drawing program, like Inkscape.

Why is then opening a JPEG not an Import?

I get it, and when Photoshop changed this default, GIMP followed with changing this workflow. It used to be different in older versions of Photoshop and Gimp.

Advanced user usually know exactly what they're doing, and opening a PNG or JPEG file, changing a few pixels, and saving it, should require as few key presses as possible.

I don't want the UI to get in my way when I open->edit->save.
