A polar land grab is consistent with their plans to accelerate global warming though.

All depends which traditions you favor.

His admiration for "strong' leaders (dictators) starts to take shape. Supplying weapons to Ukraine to fight military aggression doesn't seem appropriate when you can simply try to outdo Putin at his own game.

Julius Caesar did this... it is not a new pattern.

This is a false equivalence. The content of the art discussed here has no labels or logos. As soon as you posit the existence of such content, IMO you are in a different conversation.

My WAG would be that they need more busywork for the prisoners.

Thanks for the helpful response. The BC looks like a potentially very useful anti-bugging tool.

Well, I suppose the DoD association probably turned off a lot of people... but the language lived up to its promise of being a strict schoolmarm so if that is what people are looking for these days it is still an option. It can link with C, not sure about C++.I am not sure what being in the Linux or Windows kernels says other than reinforcement of the popularity contest... Windows is proprietary, and Rust being in Linux is hardly controversy-free.

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts. I also found this:

Isn't this basically the plot of "Home Alone" and it's very popular sequels playing out with a firearm? With FPS games as the cultural backdrop, why is anyone shocked at this? Or is this just hand-wringing?

I have only skimmed the surface of learning Rust, but I am wondering what it has over Ada. The memory safety features that Rust emphasizes have been standard there for 40 years, and just as unglamorous compared to C++.

I tend to focus on scripting nowadays... R and Pyrhon... with the odd C++ for high-speed algorithms because it is popular. But is Rust merely a new face on Ada?

Since when has Trump ever backed down from a lie? Reasoning doesn't work...he is immune from facts.
