  • U.S. war in Iran has cost $25B so far, says Pentagon official

    Jump

  • That amount, according to some, is much lower than was spent, at least 100 billion when one accounts for the long term costs

    And when one thinks of the economic disruptions worldwide, the scams and market manipulations, probably above 1 trillion dollars

  • What movie franchise gets worse with each new film?

    Jump

  • I agree, there are a few sequels I liked on their own merits. But the majority of the ones are just as you said.

    That said, I have a weakness for space ship drama. Can’t be too much of that. So some sequels really don’t need much of a plot, rhyme or reason. I’ll spend my money on them.

  • Microsoft Teams users are extremely angry at new banner asking them to pay

  • Yea, it’s nice; I’ve coded with it.

    Rails just never hit the mainstream. That might be because it never had many powerful sponsors. There are some clever people and big companies that think it’s good to use. But I think the support is too scattered to attract an increase of use, so it languishes in the ecosystems.

    And having hundreds of well maintained libraries will be the only way it can get popular now. And it cannot attract the new programmers in sufficient quantity to do that. And it cannot increase its sponsors until it has it.

    So, it will remain a very cool thing most people won’t use

  • The New Democratic Machine — And The Billionaires Behind It

    Jump

  • I think I do not understand American politics. Given that federal politics are mostly hidden vote counts manipulated by people. Is this new group hopelessly out of touch or is there a grift where I don’t know how it works ?

  • 5 ways the Iran war shows NATO is not ready to fight Russia

    Jump

  • It seems technology has once again made it easy to create military stalemates regardless of the nations fighting.

    This seems like a hard lesson to learn for many in different countries. Perhaps those obstinate generals of World War One, those that ordered failed assaults, should be looked at differently, and not judged so harshly as history has.

    Because people seem to just do this

  • FCC orders early license renewal for ABC stations following Kimmel's first lady joke

    Jump

  • I understand this is a vast overreach of power and something bad.

    But with thousands of systems failing in the nation, and hundreds of political scandals just as bad that were not reported by ABC news. I’m happy to watch them fight, as a little treat, while the nation falls down .

    But they will not fight, they will fold and people will forget about it soon enough. And I will not have my enjoyment

  • How in the fuck can they restrict software download? This is impossible to do.

    This is possible if the government continues its path

  • That’s because this news site is owned by a multinational company, which owns several other publications. They sell advertising and not reform

  • Trump’s approval rating sinks to lowest point of his second term

    Jump

  • It will sink a couple of more percentage points if he detonates a nuke , or gas prices climb.

    But it will not go lower

  • Zohran Allies With Genocidal Obama, Shills Rush to Defend Him

    Jump

  • Obama was the perfect transitional president in office during the shifts of power going on in the USA.

    While many rightly say the USA has always been a cesspool, it was fundamentally changing due to the global economy changing. He was very careful to not interfere, while he projected a sense of Camelot and calm.

    Basically he was fiddling while Rome burned and that worked out well for him.

  • PM Carney declares U.S. ties now a ‘weakness’ in address to Canadians

    Jump

  • I’m making a general observation, directed to no one and everyone in the USA at the same time, including myself, that the concept of collective guilt does apply to aggressor countries.

    There is always something that was not done. Even if the lack of action for the individual was trivial, minor, laughable even. If the reader thinks they are exempt, I invite them to read more history.

    My particular crime was staying silent about votes not being accurately counted in my state (Texas).

    My background as a computer programmer, who contributed to large systems similar to the software used, rang alarm bells inside me for years.Particularly after exit polls were diverging worse from the norm. And I had questions and insights that were helpful.

    But I understood the issue as an impossible conversation to have except among friends and fellow believers, so I simply stopped participating in the Democratic Party because of it 10 years ago, well before it became unfashionable to critique the voting systems.

    I had little influence, so anything I could have said would have little, if any, impact. But when one thinks how many other people who have a background in large systems also were silent … one gets the picture, I hope.

  • A majority say the war is not in the national interest, and many lack confidence in the president’s goals — including some 2024 supporters.

    Jump

  • There is no way people can be asked about confidence without explaining which goals; and once those multiple, contradictory and insane goals are fully explained it would invalidate the poll.

  • Well...

    Jump

  • My opinion of a liberal is one who thinks change can happen by hoping a central authority figure will fix it.

    Some liberals think no change is needed as long as authority is followed.

    The key idea is that both types are authoritarians, and need to follow rules and orders

  • rust blasphemy (added context)

    Jump

  • Hah I learned c++ in the 90s and never felt shame for messing up an allocation.

    I think when this happens, I have a puddle of memory, the spilled ram “lubricates” the pointers, which often rub against each other. The wasted memory acts like oil does to a rusted chain. It’s helping push the program through the finish line.

    Yes, I am having fun here
