Reminder...those 51 "intelligence" people are also the ones responsible for: Iraq Afghanistan Benghazi Ukraine Overturning the Will of the American People in 2020 Covering up every mass shooter "manifesto" And God knows what else.
Reminder: 51 former intelligence officials, including five former heads of the CIA, went on the record during the 2020 election to say that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation. We later learned that not only was the laptop was in fact real, but they did it in coordination with Joe Biden's campaign and a few of them have even admitted they did it because they wanted Joe Biden to win. Not only have none of them been charged for "Conspiracy to defraud the United States" but all of them still have their security clearances today.

Page #254 from the terrible politician handbook: "If you can't solve any domestic problems, just go start a war."
France issues threatening ultimatum to Niger Paris, together with the countries of the West African coalition, demands the restoration of the power of deposed President Mohamed Bazum. The new authorities of Niger received one week to implement the decree. In the African Republic, there are now several military bases of Western countries with a total contingent of troops of 1.5 thousand French and 1 thousand US military.

Fun fact: If you delete all the code that doesn't have tests, you will instantly achieve 100% test coverage and all your tests will continue to pass. (Your customers are testing all the other code for free.)
100% code coverage does NOT mean you have well tested code code coverage is a vanity metric meant to make you feel good but provides nothing

Things I rarely use: 🚫 Currying 🚫 Middleware 🚫 Inheritance 🚫 Polymorphism 🚫 IoC containers 🚫 The actor model 🚫 Aspect-oriented programming 🚫 Complex design patterns My typical approach: ✅ Write small functions ✅ Try to keep most functions pure ✅ Compose them together Programming doesn’t have to be complicated.

Nope. Building something the military-industrial complex will use to enslave the world -- that's the most important quality. Oh and no scruples about it.

Hey @OpenTable it looks like some kind of problem on your website after I signed in and tried to visit the homepage:

Tears in my eyes. One day we may look back on this period of time and understand what was really happening.
Western Media won't be showing you this. Ask yourselves why? Yesterday, Vladimir #Putin and Alexander #Lukashenko surprised ordinary #Russians out walking in Kronshtadt. Judge the response for yourselves. Think for yourselves.
