Is this "multiplied productivity" in the room with us right now?

You don't need React for reactive TUIs - at all. I can understand chosing React for web, but for a TUI it sounds like a really poor idea. And in practice we can see that the claude code TUI is also poor.

The point was to stop oil trades of "petro non-dollars", just like Venezuela.

If countries start getting away with selling oil in other currencies, then they wouldn't funnel back all these vasts amounts of dollars into the S&P 500 and the American economy would collapse.

It's a perfectly good term for the overall and historical attitude of the go dev team.

It's simply not correct that a judge must always enforce a sentence before any executive action. This is the same everywhere in the world: the executive can take certain preventive or direct action without judiciary. Otherwise just nothing would work, criminals would have it very easy.

You may argue that blocking internet access should always go through judiciary, for some reason. But you can't claim that this was undemocratic, that's just spewing bullshit for the sake of it.

It's wrong, but also: just stop centralizing on cloudflare. It's just a glorified proxy, do you really need it, or are you marking an enterprise compliance checkbox?

There is nothing undemocratic about this.

The law was already there, a minister in Spain does not only propose or vote on laws, but has quite some executive influence. This has always been so and is nothing unusual.

You can't really operate this stuff in a vacuum, otherwise it would take years to take any actions against illegal gambling, way too late.

Why wait?

Seems reasonable to preemptively drop support and let someone else either suffer the fallout, or get proven wrong and just pick up support again. It's not for a lack of people motivated by IA. Unless the motivation is more "use my IA generated content" than "actually consume IA generated content", of course.

And tomorrow people in the rich half of AB don't want to subsidize the poorer half, and so on.

But the meaning of "people want" is very delicately depending on the geographical area and moment in time.

Also, there is no such thing as valid markdown.

Putting HTML in markdown defeats the purpose IMHO.
