Turkish F-35 is real (finally)
  • The credible subtext is that everyone knows Trump will about-face and sell them to Erdogan anyways, security issues be damned, so might as well try to thaw erdogan’s perception of Biden and the DNC since Turkey is (frustratingly, given their behavior) a key strategic ally.

  • Are Overemployed ‘Ghost Engineers’ Making Six Figures to Do Nothing?
  • You’re 100% right. And I have absolutely done this in the past when some dipshit has the bright idea to tie comp adjustments to SLOC metrics. And it’s more than just comments: you just make EVERYTHING a variable, duplicate as much as possible, and avoid terse syntax at all costs. It makes the codebase nigh unmaintainable… but hey, if you’re gonna hit me in the wallet if I don’t do that, I don’t fucking care about the quality of the codebase under those constraints.

  • Are Overemployed ‘Ghost Engineers’ Making Six Figures to Do Nothing?
  • This fundamentally misunderstands the domain of software engineering. Most of the time, with an actually difficult problem, the hardest part is devising the solution itself. Which, you know, often involves a lot of thinking and not that much typing. And that also entirely puts aside how neurodivergent people - who are somewhat over repressed in STEM - often arrive at solutions in very different ways that statistical models like these simply don’t account for.

  • Merkel does not accept criticism and believes she is being made “scapegoat” for war in Ukraine
  • Hey someone should try to find a ladder - it might help her to climb down a bit from her own asshole.

    For real, she killed any possibility of a response because she was too invested in nordstream 2. It was a conflict of interest, and it made a difference, and this war, right now, is the consequence.

  • Considering last night's results, I don't expect NATO to be credible 4 years from now

    The most crediblest D-30 howitzer ERA tiles

Dynamic protection, in essence, is blocks of plastic that explode towards the cumulative stream of anti-tank ammunition and deflect it to the side. Placing this protection on anything other than the powerful armor of a tank is fraught with even greater damage to the “protected” object.

    nymag.com What Happened in Biden’s High-Stakes ABC Interview?

    The president looked and sounded better than he did in the debate, but repeatedly dismissed and denied widespread concerns about him and his campaign.

    What Happened in Biden’s High-Stakes ABC Interview?

    Personal commentary: reading the summary (I did not watch the interview live), I’m not really seeing anything that assuages my concerns about his mental acuity. More importantly, I’m not seeing anything that indicates he’s being anything even close to as pragmatic as Macron is being with the election they’re doing now in France, with regards to just trying to make sure the fascists do not fucking win. I must admit I’m feeling quite pessimistic about things.

    Also available with a roasted crab, which is what they’re famous for, but this version is still delicious, because those noodles are straight crack
