I am with you until the last sentence.
In an actual war, the US would take Mexico in half a day. The US military is far more competent than Russsia. But holding it is another matter.
There would be insurgents for decades and you are absolutely right that it would spill over into the domestic United States. I would be an absolute disaster.
The Trump cartel?
Well, I guess it depends if you use VMs or containers. The VMs are QEMU over libvirt.

Agree.
Economic data for this month is that trade with the US is down but overall exports are up. We are successfully diversifying to other buyers and “Canada first” is working.
Don’t let the US off the hook but let’s stop trying so hard to change their behaviour and stay focussed on building the best economy we can with whatever we get dealt.
Don’t give the US more power than they have.
When everybody talked about “shithole countries”, practically everybody outside the United States thought of one country that deserved that label (we all thought of the same one).
Only for those that blow
Agreed. The C++ guys are basically JavaScript guys arguing that type safety errors are a skill issue. They must hate TyoeScript.
Some bugs. I have never heard anybody remotely skilled in Rust claim that it prevents bugs in general.
Python prevents many classes of bugs too (compared to C++). And any statically typed compiler will prevent some bugs that Python allows. Not too controversial I hope. Of course, unlike Rust, Python is unsuitable for many C++ use cases for other reasons.
I do not use Rust and my self-image is not tied to C++. So I do not have to get upset when people explain the benefits of Rust.
Rust is not perfect. That is why I do not use it. But it is not some elaborate lie either. It was designed to do certain things, and it does.
Java was created so that teams of intermediate skill programmers could maintain large, long-lived code bases. And it did its job incredibly well.
If that is not your use case (or you do not want to admit that you are such a programmer), it may not be your favourite language.
I always like C# far better. It may be my favourite language overall. It has a bit more headroom and was designed somebody far more skilled. But it was designed to compete directly with Java. So, you know who it was built for.
Sadly, it is a detachment from reality that is entirely normal, even typical. In all walks of life.
What I still find surprising, even though normal, is how technical people can push actual facts and evidence right out of their world view.
Sure, 70% of the bugs in C++ code bases are memory rated according to multiple sources. So let me aggressively and confidently berate this idiot that says the Rust compiler is doing something useful.
You do not have to use either language to see how idiotic this is. Even if you accept that this guy has “the skill” to make compiler help redundant, he has no point at all unless he thinks that “typical” C++ users have that same level of skill. And, provably and trivially researched—they do not. Being this wrong makes him, as self-evidenced, incompetent by definition.
All he proves in the end is that he is angry (and I guess not a fan of Rust).
“Angry and incompetent” is sadly a much more common trope than the ones he tires off.
Is the US still sending aid now? I thought they stopped.
I know the US is letting the EU buy weapons for Ukraine. Would that stop?
It seems that the most valuable asset Ukraine has in its arsenal are its domestically produced drones. The US wants to invest in those to further its own interests. This is likely to proceed regardless of the war.
