It wasn't about Gaza. We call them "anti-Israel" but it's really anti-peace, and anti-Palestinian too.

The Netherlands: Ceasefire won't impact decision to withdraw if Israel participates in Eurovision | wiwibloggs
"If a ceasefire is reached in the near future or the conflict evolves differently, that will not change our position for Eurovision 2026."William (Wiwibloggs)
У меня есть приятель (у него есть «остаток», — на нашем жаргоне это значит, что он не совсем слепой, немножко видит). Так вот, он говорит, что ему прям вот супермегаудобно платить часами и что он бы в жизни не отказался от них только ради этой функции. Ну в смысле, платить в кассе в магазине, например.

“Apple is now treating federal agents—who are public employees exercising government power—as if they’re a vulnerable minority group in need of protection from ‘discrimination.’ This isn’t just a misapplication of content policies; it’s a fundamental inversion of what those policies were designed to do.”

the main trick all of these new performance mallocs do is "deferred free", gross
If someone values smallness and simplicity, they most likely don't look for rust or rust-based programs :>
@pj Ouch. I like Rust, and I'd rather not write any more new C or C++ code than necessary because, while I value smallness and simplicity, I value safety and correctness more. But I recognize you have a valid point about the size and complexity of the Rust project, and it does make me uneasy.
stretching is also a thing
