Yes? It's been Palestinians for a very long time. It was the British colony of Palestine from 1920 to 1948, when it was established as the Jewish ethno-state of Israel. They gave no fucks that a non-Jewish population already lived there.

Israel responded by blowing up mosques and apartment buildings. They cut off power to everything, including hospitals. They're blockading to prevent any supplies from entering Gaza. Both sides are committing war crimes and intentionally targeting civilians. Nobody is right here. Supporting either side is encouraging a religious war.

I have used the top of the line MacBook Pro (work provided) for ~8 years. They're great laptops. They can handle any programming compilation workload I can throw at it, even on top of all of IT's required malware. The OS is stable and stays out of my way for the most part. I don't use any Apple software and generally dislike when I have to do anything Apple-specific, but the hardware and runtime environment are undeniably solid.

That said, I'll probably never own a Mac because they're unreasonably expensive. I can get a high end gaming laptop or build a ludicrous desktop for the same price and run either linux or windows.

And not all of the thousands killed or wounded in Palestine were affiliated with Hamas in any way. What's your point?

You can't just casually use "shot up" when talking about kids in school...

💯 she got it for the RGB

Doing so amounts to switching their party affiliation. The GOP will totally abandon them and primary them so hard in the next election. It will entirely end their political career, and is likely to attract all manner of death threats and probably actual attempts on their lives. Republicans are super into stochastic terrorism these days.

He killed a fuckton of vampires tho

Sorry someone pissed in your Wheaties this morning. Hope your day gets better!

This community is for talking about reddit. Block it if you don't want to see it.

That sounds awful having to go through all that! In America, just buy a splint from the drug store for $20 and go back to work same day. No exhausting time in the hospital and seeing lots of doctors. No missed work. No being a drain on society and suckling on the government teat. FREEDOM!!!

Because they're always thinking of the children!

I don't recall which Java environment was used; I'm not a Java developer so some of those technical details went in one ear and right out the other. They did implement snapstart for Java lambdas and that made the warm start time similar to Go. But the runtime performance isn't even close after they put a bunch of effort into trying to optimize it.

I truly can't recommend anything other than Go for lambdas. It's better by every metric and it's a lot easier to manage your infrastructure (just a single binary file with no file or environmental dependencies; it doesn't get any more straightforward than that.) I'd definitely recommend doing a PoC to compare performance for your specific workload in Java vs. Go. As long as you have devs capable of writing Go, it's a real winner. If you don't, I'd still go with nodejs lambdas over Java; Java still seems to require a lot of tweaking to get its performance comparable. It's a 30 year old swiss army knife, and it shows.

They're all in with this guy Gerry. He's manderin' all over tarnation!

Yeah, my team maintains a C#/.NET SDK and we don't use any windows machines. We use mono for compilation, because that was the only option at the time the project started, but hope to make some updates soon to be able to use the newer targets that have native cross-platform support. Microsoft has come such a long way with .NET!

The house is the bigger shit show and typically writes the budget bills since the Senate will usually pass it if the house does. (Not 100% accurate , see edit) The Senate did pass their own bipartisan stopgap funding for 6 weeks, but McCarthy refused to even discuss it because it contained funding for Ukraine.

This is yet another one of those things that has no real safeguards because Congress has always passed budgets without much issue for the majority of history. There's always negotiating, but shutting down the government has always been off the table until fairly recently.

There is a bipartisan bill being proposed to end shutdowns and just fund the government at current levels until a budget is passed. But most members of Congress don't support it because it means they can't use the shutdown as leverage, on either side.

Edit: there's also the Origination Clause, which directs the house to handle money issues https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origination_Clause#:~:text=The%20practice%20was%20intended%20to,between%20small%20and%20large%20states.

C# was my favorite language to use, though I haven't touched it in 7+ years because I don't do any windows or desktop UI development anymore. It feels the most expressive and doesn't get in your way too much. It has all the mainstream OO language features while not feeling overly burdensome like Java.

Go is now my favorite to use because it's super fast at runtime and I don't have to deal with a bunch of environmental and framework nonsense at runtime. It's hands down the fastest runtime for serverless lambdas, which is the majority of my work. I have several gripes about the language, namely the embarrassment that is their implementation of type inheritance and generics, but the lack of ease for the developer is offset by performance. Java handles that stuff better, but I'm not trading a little ease in dev cycles for 20x longer cold starts and 5x poorer runtime performance. (Actual stats based on some use-case specific testing we did)

TypeScript is my fav for frontend dev (React), but it's not as if there's any choice there. I used to be a plain-JS psychopath, but then I had to work with other people on projects and TS makes that waaaaay easier.

Family of four here, 3 of us got it for the first time this past weekend. My wife still hasn't had it.

Recessions also cause a spike in vice and escapism, so it could drive more game sales or at least offset the lack of disposable income.
