that’s a very similar scenario now that you mention it

That’s by far the most frustrating aspect of the whole thing. It’s not like they were hiding this. You can literally read articles like this, published in mainstream press explaining in detail why the US wanted to have a proxy war with Russia. It’s all in the open, and yet we’re still having these struggle sessions with people adamantly denying that this is a proxy war.

Yeah, like how do they not see this project as being strategic for them.

It’s simply breathtaking to watch the meltdown of people who’ve spent three years guzzling propaganda, when reality finally intrudes into their bubble.

I love how you trolls always start making personal attacks when faced with news you don’t like. Also love how you’re insinuating that official Ukrainian media is disinformation.

I’m not really clear on what the plan is either. The US failed in their attempt at isolating China economically, they don’t have military capacity to subjugate China by force, and they’re entirely dependent on China economically. This would be a comical situation if the US didn’t sit on a giant nuclear stockpile.

Which is the desirable outcome if the government represents the working class and exercises violence against attempts at a capitalist counterrevolution.

Right, and that’s why talk of authoritarianism is infantile. The question that’s actually important is whose interest the government represents.

the worry I have is that it would end in a nuclear holocaust because the US regime would rather kills us all than accept that it’s no longer the global hegemon

A local park, looks especially awesome in fall when it’s foggy. Some pics from last year.

the west doesn’t have industrial capacity to fight ww3

I’m not deflecting from anything. I’m simply pointing out the fact that Germans are supporting a genocide, so your claim that you don’t want to get Russian energy because of the war is pure bullshit. I love how you trolls just memorize a handful of personal attacks that you regurgitate whenever you’re faced with the fact that you are the genocidal scum. Everyone can see you fascists exactly for what you are.

The actual genocide that’s happening right now is in Palestine and Germans are backing to the hilt.

To be fair, only 19% think it’s getting better. The other 30% or so just haven’t noticed much change yet I guess.

Yeah, I’d typically front an app with something like nginx and farm off stuff like rate limiting or tls handling to it instead of having to worry about it in the app itself. The general point in the article is solid though. I’ve started using this sort of heuristic to evaluate libraries as well. I first try to think of how I’d solve the problem conceptually, and then once I work through that and have a good mental model of what I want, I’ll look for libraries and try to find one that’s closest to the way I think about the problem.

Yeah, for a decent entry level camera it’s around a thousand bucks, and lenses tend to go for close to that as well. If you do decide to go for it at some point, something like Sony A6100, is a good starter. I started on the older A6000 model, and it served me pretty well.
