Musk wasn't "pushed away", russia wasn't 'provoked' into invading a sovereign country and people, especially powerful ones are responsible for their own actions. No one made them do terrible things, especially not some vague amorphous label.
Consider that most of the country shifted Right/Republican this election, which is another way of saying ex-Democrats turned Republicans.
Kind of ironically, the Democrats also became the party of neocons and war hawks by inviting the likes of Bush and Cheney.
The Democrats keep moving further Left, leaving normal people behind. You can only play the "world is out of touch" Simpsons meme so much before even that becomes too stupid to bother.
>Of the counties with nearly complete results, more than 89 percent shifted in favor of former President Donald J. Trump in the 2024 presidential election,
Kind of ironically, the Democrats also became the party of neocons and war hawks by inviting the likes of Bush and Cheney.
You know this didn't happen right? There was no war and they didn't switch parties, they just said trump was so dangerously corrupt that people should vote against him.
You mean the likes of GWB, Liz Cheney, et al. all going on the record endorsing the Democrats were all fake news?
Hyperbole aside, no, it is fact that the chief targets of criticisms lodged against the Republicans during the 00s made their new home in the Democrat Party this election and probably onwards. Getting told by corrupt warmongerers that the opponent is a corrupt warmongering Nazi is ironic, for all their faults I thought the Democrats swore off such people.
So now it's not the Democrats also became the party of neocons and war hawks, it's GWB, Liz Cheney, et al. all going on the record endorsing the Democrats.
No one controls what they say.
Hyperbole aside
What you said wasn't hyperbole, it just wasn't true at all.
That's only ironic if you actually buy into the propaganda that the Democratic Party is actually leftist, much less extreme leftist/neo-Marxist or whatever the Republican hyperbole du jour is.
Everyone else, including American leftists forced to ally with the Democrats because they're the only game in town, is well aware that the Democrats been moving steadily to the right since Carter.
It didn't help that the only reason anyone voted for Biden to begin with was that he wasn't Trump. Biden's only mandate was to be less evil than the other side and he couldn't even manage the simple, basic task of being against genocide. And then Harris doubled down on it.
Which is really why they lost - not because they're too radically leftist for "normal people" (the implication that no leftists are normal is seen and noted) but because they aren't nearly leftist enough, and so Democrats decided to stay home in droves, or cast futile votes for third party.
This is fantastic. FLTK is great software and a very nice library to know. Now having wayland support and high dpi support, it will what people need in a more modern GUI library.
With previous versions you could get the pdf for all your documentation and start with a 100KB completely static binary that would show a window and buttons. The source is pretty clear so making your own components or modifying existing ones is straight forward and it really is lightweight and FAST.
It also has network stuff and jpg/png and audio libraries so checks off a few more potential dependencies. It has threading too, but that seems like less of a modern issue.
If someone was delivering software I would love it to use FLTK and be a single fast static binary. That's the kind of stuff that isn't a constant pain and can just work so you can move on to other problems.
Are you asking if it's well known? I don't think it is actually used in any context, it is so unstable that if you start it and do nothing, it will crash in a few seconds.
Most of what people do in photoshop is easier in a node based system anyway since you can made a non destructive graph of operations. The biggest downside is that the best program is nuke, which is expensive, but anyone can use fusion for free or pay a few hundred dollars for a lower tier of houdini and use those image manipulations.
Houdini also allows vex shaders out of nodes, which is basically a more polished version of this interface where you can manipulation pixels more directly and make your own nodes.
In the 90s I worked for a company in Kansas City designing pagers. We rented space underground for RF testing. There are no radio signals in the caves, at least back then. I'm sure that's different now, especially with manufacturing happening there. (Our cave was closer to downtown and was mostly used for warehousing.)
I think they mean that there might be WiFi access points or cellular base stations now installed in some of these caves given the ways the spaces are used.
What does this mean? The article says 'TB' which would be terabytes. Terabytes are made out of gigabytes. There is nothing faster than straight memory bandwidth. DDR5 has 64 GB/s max. 12 channels of that is 768 GB/s.
Terabytes per second is going to take multiple computers, but it will be a lot less computers if you're using shared memory bandwidth and not some sort of networking loopback.
A huge part of atomic operations in programming languages and modern CPUs (meaning in the last few decades) is updating pointers in a thread safe manner.
Unprovoked war? Look at the map of NATOs expansion and take a history lesson about Ukraine's importance to Russia as a teritorial buffer against Western inavsion.
Care to explain why countries are willing to give up some of the control over their own military and risk being dragged to other wars just to join NATO? And what caused Finland and Sweden join after 2022 even though historically they were fairly neutral?
I don't know man. What's to the east that makes these countries beg to join? Is it a peaceful country? Or one that sees "russians" in need of protection everywhere, one where the president goes on TV and gives history lessons that reduces these countries russian land, one that makes regular threats about invasion or nuking their cities, etc?
The US has a lot of influence, but that has limits. The good thing for them is that with Russia behaving like this, they don't need to move a finger to have eastern Europe on their side.
Why do you speak for the whole Eastern Europe? Many people in slavic countries in Eastern europe feel sorry for Ukranians because their government is so stupid. The only people that predominantly egg them on to war are non Slavic countries like Lithuania, Finland, Estonia, etc. Maybe these countries take pleasure when slavs kill eachother. After all they did welcome Nazis with open arms not that long ago. And another unspoken reason these non Slavic countries fear Russia so much is because they have very significant number of Russians living umongst them, whom they often refuse to recognise as citizens
Neither you nor me speak for "the whole Eastern Europe" or the "slavic people".
I'll ask again: why did the countries in the east tried to join NATO? Why join if there's no threat?
It's not Estonia or Lithuania making regular threats about nuking a Russian city or taking the Russia in 2 or 3 days. They may hate Russia (why did you left the part where they were invaded and their language and culture was repressed for years?), but they're not going to start a war against a huge nuclear country. They will, for obvious reasons, try to have the means to make any invasion very costly though.
You can play dumb all you want, but it doesn't take a genius to understand that Russia's behaviour and their lack of respect for other countries' borders drives those countries towards NATO. NATO was losing its purpose until Putin decided to start invading countries... but of course you can't see this as Russia can't do anything bad and it's all the US fault.
Have you heard the saying, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"? Try to understand it, maybe then you also understand why countries that were attacked then sided with Nazis and anything that opposed the country that invaded them.
Russians living in eastern Europe is a well known thing, something that the Soviet Union did many times in different places, so it's not "unspoken" at all. In any case, this is not rocket science: Mexico doesn't get to invade the US because there are many mexicans there. The US doesn't get to invade Berlin because there are many americans there. Ang guess what... Russia doesn't have any right to anything outside their borders. Why is it so hard for you and Russians to understand something so simple?
There's only one country in Europe talking of changing their borders and waging war. It's Russia. No "buts" or "ifs". Russia started a war, full stop. The fanboys just need to grow a pair and stop making up excuses for them.
The US set the precedent of changing borders with Kosovo. Russia just used skmething from their playbook. Russian government even said of US recognition of Kosovo that they are opening pandora's box.
The US set the precedent of changing borders with Kosovo.
The US did not attempt to annex Kosovo and admit it as a 51st state. I'm also not aware of any pronouncements from an American presidents in regard to "the historical unity of American and Kosovan peoples".

In late 2021, Russia massed troops near Ukraine's borders and issued demands including a ban on Ukraine ever joining the NATO military alliance. After repeatedly denying having plans to invade or attack Ukraine, on 24 February 2022, Russian president Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation",
Why did russia lie about what they were going to do?
Putin espoused irredentist views challenging Ukraine's legitimacy as a state, falsely claimed that Ukraine was governed by neo-Nazis
If they were "provoked" why did they lie?
Just like you're statement that russia was "provoked", stating that ukraine is not a country is wishful hallucination.
This isn't how reality works. You wishing something was true and saying it is true doesn't make it true.
Whether you like Russia or not ks irrelevant, you honnestly need to be pretty dumb to think that Russia would just cop NATO going into Ukraine. Putin even said this wouldnt be allowed on multiple occasions prior to 2014 but the US thought Russia is too weak and did not care.
Even Ukraine supporters admit that Ukraine has a problem with neo Nazis. Like waaay bigger than it should be. Just google it. Its a pretty out in the open fact
Putin doesn't have a say in other countries. Where are you getting these ideas? Why do you think this a justification? Link me some sites that you get your information from.
The things you are saying here are straight up russian propaganda. Sovereign countries don't operate on putin's terms. Ukraine can join NATO if they choose to.
Is there anything you don't like about Putin? Say something negative about him, anything at all.

Im pretty sure all imperialists have a say what happens in other countries. US does it kn a regular basisneven to allies. It is kind of in the definition of the term. This is not about morality of it. I am saying it was down right stupid not to have expected Russia to attack while the country was taking serious steps toward inviting NATO in its borders. Anyone with a brain could have predicted how Russia was going to react toward this. The US tried to pull a bluf but honnestly they couldnt care less since they are on another continent
> Ukraine can join NATO if they choose to.
I mean, that is obviously false as things stand right now
