NATO advised to have important stuff evacuated and preparations were actually taken to move the mriya.

According to the SBU, the Mriya aircraft was in good technical condition on the eve of Russia's full-scale invasion, the Hostomel Airport had sufficient fuel for the flight, and the crew was ready for departure.

"However, the former General Director of Antonov State Enterprise did not issue the relevant order and ignored the reports and proposals of his subordinates," reads the report.

Nim is not transpiled. Transpilation means translation between equal levels of abstraction. The C code generated by Nim is not something most people would do anything with.

I like Nim and many concepts of it with the big point of discussion being that function names get normalized (helloWorld === hello_world).

But I feel like that Nim is a language without purpose. It's all nice and cool on paper, but it has no use case where I think "I have to do it in Nim".

Go is known for making small, fast startup web apps, Python for making small one time tasks or Data work, Rust low level programming if you like functional programming, PHP if you want yo setup a website as fast as possible.

But Nim doesn't have this, it doesn't have a library that's better than in all other languages. It's nice but what for?

The "microsoft rival", as it is called in the headline, is alfaview, a company that offers GDPR compliant video conferencing software.

And they complain that Teams gets bundled with Office by default which givea this an advantage over other (their) product.

I used the chat feature semi-regularly to chat with people about more private stuff. It was mostly about exchanging in creative endeavours, sharing what we had before posting it to Reddit.

So I am a bit moved now that they want to delete it.

But I also hated Reddit's implementation of it. Under certain circumstances it wouldn't load older messages and worst of all it was only available on the official app, not even their mobile web app. So continuing my chats forced me to use my desktop, or to try out the app which was horrible.

At this point, let Reddit burn in their mistakes and hopefully the others will make it better.

I only know of a handful of cases where branchless programming is actually being used. And those are really niche ones.

So no. The average programmer really doesn't need to use it, probably ever.

I have some great fun playing Pokémon RomHacks like Unbound or GS Chronicles.

Otherwise I started playing the original Mega Man Battle Network titles for the GBA.

The manufacturer is chinese, so that's why most offers are from chinese resellers.

I think it would be the best advice to buy directly from their online store

Absolut unverständlich. Wölfe sind wunderbare Tiere und die Gefahr für Menschen ist minimal.

Außerdem sind sie eigentlich ein wichtiger Teil des Ökosystems. Die Jagdkultur in Deutschland geht definitiv zu weit.

Apparently they learned a lot from r/subredditsimulator

Reddit is really on their way to become the next facebook.

Was aus seiner Aussage letztendlich folgt ist, dass wir mehr getrennte Trassen brauchen. Da gehe ich voll mit.

Ja, ich auch. Mir hat letztens jemand erzählt, dass wir in D früher in jede Richtung zwei Schienen hatten, eine für Normalverkehr und eine zum Ausweichen. Das ist eigentlich ganz praktisch wenn z.B. ein Zug Verspätung hat, dass die nachfolgenden nicht betroffen sind, oder für Reparaturen.

Ebenso sollten Fernverkehrszüge auch eigene Trassen haben.

Aber das Zugnetz wurde in Deutschland leider an Trassen, Zügen, Bahnhöfen, Personal kaputt gespart.

Und auch wenn ich eher negative Erfahrungen mit der Bahn habe, fühle ich die Geschäftsführer auch, wenn die kein Geld bekommen und unlösbare Erwartungen haben.
