You learn a bit about history in the region you'll know that Russia has been being the aggressor for about 300 years, but has always felt the victim. Stalin in the 1920s even had the phrase "capitalism encirclement", not unlike Putin's "NATO encroachment". This is despite the fact that it was Stalin's strategy to chase trade agreements with the UK, Germany and France, while at the same time supporting the respective countries communist parties attempts at revolution. As you see, the pattern of behavior has changed since then.

So no, NATO isn't the aggressor.

It's absolutely possible that the bots drummed up public opinion. But regardless of what public opinion is or why it is what it is, it's also clear who the aggressor is.

Somehow, lisp ends up being really slow. so it's doing something else wrong.

Good? NATO is on the right side of this.

Julia is excellent. There are a lot things with Julia (think multiple dispatch) that once you learn them you can't stop noticing that other languages are doing it wrong

Sounds tempting, but my experience has been that when these nice companies raise a lot of money they go to shit. Dropbox comes to mind.

Can you even imagine what kind of stuff they had to tell their investors in order to get 100m?

Wouldn't those people rather be told what her plans are?

I investigated my own conduct. After reviewing all available evidence I have found myself innocent.

> Give it 5 years, and the original Peter Jackson trilogy videos will no longer be culturally relevant because nobody wants LoTR content any more, while record amounts of it continue to get produced.

hehe this reminded me how after matrix 2 and 3 I had forgotten how good the original matrix was. Took me 10 years to rediscover it.

You know why, and yet you were asking why.

> they've told me that I can transfer if i want those pay scales but that's not a possibility for me

So basically you want to be paid more than anyone else in your location? Hard to empathize with this position.

As someone who lives in the UK, let me tell you, any interaction with the NHS ends with you being given paracetamol. It's like an inside joke that the whole population of the UK is in on.

I'm interested in the same subject, but the fact that the book bundles "event-driven" with "microservices" is a red flag for me...
