Yeah it’s an artificial dichotomy based on a popular misconception of what std::endl is and how \n is interpreted.

Ultimately it does not ask about line endings, but about flushing, which is a completely orthogonal question.

Haha absolutely, I’m also one of the people who always said all this rainbow and green washing is bullshit. As if they ever cared for anything.

Capitalism has no values, except for one: shareholder value. Yesterday they help sending people to concentration camps, today they help saving the world and increasing diversity, yeah, totally convincing.

There is one thing to rely on with capitalism - if you convince people you can make good money with it or it is good for the brand, they will jump onto it and squeeze the shit out of it. An abstract, amoral force, made from a large number of concrete shitty people.

Yes, exactly. To make America great again, Americans first have to take their country back from the oligarchs that are destroying it and sucking it dry. Noone else can or will do it for them.

Nice! I’d love to use Rust at work, I was a Haskell guy for hobby things, rather recently switched to Rust for that, and I enjoy it a lot. Taking 80% of the good lessons from functional programming while staying performant and practical and just have nice tooling - whoever designed Rust are wise people who know what is important for happy developers.

My job is mainly C++, and if you have seen the bright side of life, it is difficult not to be frustrated by the language and tooling. I think C++ without clang-tidy is almost as horrible as Python without types and linters. Undefined behavior and foot guns everywhere!

Python with type hints and mypy and ruff = <3

Large Python codebase without types = nightmare

Only a strong and united Europe can successfully stand up against the bullies to the West and to the East.

Right populists might have tried to make it look different, but despite all it’s flaws all countries end up gaining more from the EU than they lose. Looks like many people in the UK were disappointed after effects of leaving kicked in and felt mislead by politicians who pushed the vote for leaving.

We certainly need to reform the EU to be faster, less bureaucratic, and so on, but this is the best we got right now and like democracy, it’s a shitty organisation but better than all existing alternatives, including not having it at all ;)

I never understood all the love for the US when I was younger, now as an adult with enough experience and cynicism it’s clear it’s all just very successful propaganda and the power of cultural hegemony.

Europe was sitting very comfortably in the matrix of the US soft power, and good profitable business has been done for and with the wealthy class. But because life of average Joe was still pretty good, this ass licking arrangement looked like a great deal.

Now the rules changed, and if we don’t get our shit together real quick, we are also pretty fucked.
