The Nuclear Waste Software License is brilliant. Not only does it make the right impact when publishing random write-only code, it’s legally BSD so lawyers won’t be up your arse about it. In fact, it only strengthens the warranty disclaimer.
My prof called K&R C “Knall und Rauch C”, “bang and smoke C”. Also: C lattice fence.
CVS was, for the longest time, the only player in the FLOSS world. It was bad, but so were commercial offerings, and it was better than RCS.
It’s been completely supplanted by SVN, specifically written to be CVS but not broken, which is about exactly as old as git. If you find yourself using git lfs, you might want to have a look at SVN.
Somewhat ironically RCS is still maintained, last patch a mere 19 months ago to this… CVS repo. Dammit I did say “completely supplanted” already didn’t I. Didn’t consider the sheer pig-headedness of the openbsd devs.
It’s not actually much different in Germany, there’s zero bins just randomly lining the streets. Areas with shops will have some, parks and playgrounds usually have one or two, but that’s it. “Park” here is to be understood quite broadly, it might be a footpath with nice view and some benches. Bus stops also tend to have bins.
Even if that were the case, still better than being an imperialist like you.
And I’m referring to you consistently refusing to denounce imperialist aggression.
The French (partly) dismantled their own bases, their own military infrastructure. Which is to be expected during a withdrawl, the rest has been transferred. Leaving when asked to is not an act of imperialism or colonialism, and neither is taking your stuff with you.
If, for example, Russia were to withdraw from Ukraine and take all its tanks with them, that would not be an act of imperialism. Them staying, OTOH, is an act of imperialism: The have not been invited. You still have to denounce Russian imperialism.
Did I already mention that you yet have to denounce Russian imperialism? You might want to do that if you want to have a conversation with the grown ups.
Flipping over the table on your way out does not signal a cordial exit nor amicable split.
Don’t flatter yourself. I do not fraternalise with imperialists, campist, non-campist, left, right, middle, doesn’t matter.
There was no kicking anyone out. The government asked France to leave, and France left. That’s not a kick.
Still no condemnation of Russian imperial aggression. You know just because you’re not using your lemmygrad main doesn’t mean that you’re not obvious AF.
Chad, as in the country, no. Chad, as in the powers that be in Chad selling it out to foreign interest, yes, they’re very much at fault. The Déby dynasty (I guess that’s how it’s going to be now) is better than Habré but come on none of them are worth even a single clap of applause.
Overall, that’s some real neo-colonial, infantilising, BS from you, there, “Oh these poor undeveloped countries can’t make decisions for themselves, they’re at the whim of foreign influence, they have no agency”. That’s like 1/1000th of a step away from “we should invade and rule for them because they can’t”.
Does your script not cover Africa? Is that why you need to deflect to another place entirely?
No, Tovarish Vatnov. That is not the reason.
I’m curious why you’re not giving specifics. Maybe because it’s part of the Russian colonial programme? France left, willingly, when those states withdrew their invitation. They didn’t force themselves in in the first place, they were there to fight Boko Haram and like ilk. The states had some reservations “The French are going to do all the fighting without developing our own military capabilities so afterwards we’ll still be vulnerable”. Germany said “yep we’ll expect the same that’s how they roll” so Germany went in together with the French, specifically doing training. Both left together once uninvited.
And don’t tell me they should’ve left bases etc. for Wagner to use.
I’m curious: Is Russia currently involved in an imperialist, genocidal conquest of Ukraine? Yes or no. Once that’s out of the way we can start talking about Africa.
…and don’t fucking even begin talking about Uranium. Noone needs North African Uranium, Australia has everyone covered for millennia to come.
As to extractive capitalism: What part about “strategic autonomy” do you not understand. How can you be autonomous if you’re reliant on extractive exploitation. Also, former colonies. Also, ask Mali whether they’re faring better under Russia’s thumb. France is not in the business of forcing itself on countries if they’re hell-bent on making idiotic mistakes. The offer was there to help Mali keep out Islamists and extractive capitalism, what did the Junta do? Invite Wagner over so they can join in massacring the civilian population.
France does have some homework to do regarding its colonial past, big and glaring one being the Haiti debt, but you know what you sound like? Like an ANC politician willing to blame your country’s issues on anything but your own corruption. “Oh no it is the colonisers who make us embezzle our people’s wealth”.
Macron’s foreign policy isn’t left or right or centre it’s French. It’s actually quite exceptional for a nation’s foreign policy, at least in its core aspects, the steady lines, doctrine and long-term strategy, to be partisan.
And that applies to the US too, btw: Biden waged a trade war against the EU with the inflation reduction act. Tactics might differ, crassness differs, the core elements? Exactly the same.
Teens have a perfectly functional frontal cortex thing is they are still figuring out when to actually use it. They can be perfectly adult one moment, or in a particular area, and completely stupid in the other. Visiting Auschwitz, one might presume, would be a situation where an Israeli teen isn’t a rage of hormones. Be that when racing shopping carts.
Sense of right and wrong develops way earlier.
They also have warehouses in the EU which means that as a customer you don’t have to deal with duties and import VAT at all.
Unless you are advocating for a Communist regime along the lines of the Soviet Union or Maoist China, you aren’t really “far left”.
If you do that you definitely aren’t, authoritarianism and far-left are mutually exclusive.
Council communists and Anarchists generally qualify for far-left status. (Or, differently put, council communism is methadone therapy for Marxists who don’t yet dare make the jump to syndicalism).
It’s not so much sugar in the flour but amylase in the flour turning starch into simpler sugars. If you add sugar to your dough it means that you’re either not giving enough time to autolyse, or you’re making cake. Either way it’s not proper bread. And yes this also applies to non-sourdough bread. You need a minimum of two or three hours of autolysis for the dough to be nicely digestible and workable on the benchtop, there’s dough conditioners which can imitate part of that but well then you’re getting American “bread”. A typical German process develop the sourdough for about 1 1/2 days, then mix the final dough, let it rest for 2-3 hours (Stockgare, depending on temperature, humidity etc), then form it, then 1 - 1 1/2 hours of final leavening (Stückgare). And it’s not like you can’t get industrial bread over here, it’s just that they’re not taking shortcuts when it comes to time.
There’s regions which add sugar beet syrup, recipes with extra malt (often with active enzymes), or good ole pumpernickel which develops its sweetness through low and slow baking (24 hours in the oven), but adding plain sugar? That’s just ignoble.
