Meh. Many coders don't know how transistors work, and they can still be productive.

If many "young coders" don't know how their code work but can solve more problems faster, is it really a problem?


The problem isn't knowing how transistors work (although in the old days, you often did learn something about that in the process of learning computers), but rather not even knowing how basic code structure works at all, or simple required math, or logic. Not knowing the absolute basics of code and then thinking you're a "coder" because you can blindly copy/paste code without understanding it on any level is straight-up dangerous.


Sure it's a problem if that code ever needs to be fixed or maintained. Or if it irreversibly alters data in a way that the "coder" didn't understand or intend. If it's a prototype or some kind of one-off with limited side effects, I guess there's not much risk.


Well, it's hard to solve a problem you don't understand right? When a problem fundamentally lies in a domain no one understands, how will it ever be fixed or solved? Best you can do is paper over the problem in some way, or somehow get randomly lucky.


Considering how many weapons the US sells to its allies, wouldn't be great for the US defense industry.


Europe has its own industry, but countries have made sure that they buy a significant amount of weapons from the US to keep them happy. That limits the size of the EU industry.

There have been many stories of EU countries choosing the American alternative, even if it was more expensive. In return, they expected some goodwill from US.

So when you read stories about EU countries not spending enough, consider that a large part of what they do spend goes to the US to appease them.

Now, US is changing the expectations


The golden rule of USA foreign policy has always been don't like local powers take over their neighbours. I'll let you to consider why that has been such a successful policy.


Boots on the ground, and blockage Kaliningrad.


Slow down boy. Defence not offense.


Sabotage Russian petroleum production and refinery operations then. Done properly, it will force shutting of supply wells for years, ending the conflict.


On what basis are you sure about that?

Is it just "they're all Muslims so what's the difference" or do you actually know what you're talking about?


> Of the 190,370 refugees registered with UNHCR in Malaysia, 630 are Palestinians, according to statistics obtained by MalaysiaNow up to June this year. Malaysia is not a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention or its 1967 Protocol, the key documents that form the basis of UNHCR's work to assist refugees worldwide. However, the country continues to accept those fleeing conflict zones, many of whom are tolerated on humanitarian grounds.

The conditions still suck here because we have so much corruption but the government generally accepts more muslim refugees.

The given number of deportees number only in the dozens. That's definitely within limits of what the system can handle


"bitcoin reserve" must be the dumbest idea I've heard since "bitcoin".


Yes, I do. More important than tech and jobs is that we keep too much power from accumulating in any one persons hands.


Sounds like an obsidian plugin.


Someone is building that: https://screen.garden


Notepad++ and VSC both have plugins for this.

They’re fine.


Trump just fired the chair of the joint chiefs of staff fyi.
