Exactly. If Democrats had taken more than 2/3rds of the house and senate opening up the possibility to ignore vetos and actually get a conviction on impeachment, then it would have been a sweep. This was definitely a Democrat victory as they got a majority of both chambers of congress, but it was not an overwhelming victory. It's a sign that there's some hope left, but there is still a lot that can go wrong and there's a ton that's going to be need to be done over the next couple years and it will still be an uphill battle the whole way.

Even if he died he should still be tried posthumously, if only to give his victims closure, claw back some of the money he's stolen for those victims, and to insure his legacy as the most criminal president of the US is properly recorded. It will also be important for the cases against his collaborators.

Counter offer, nationalize Starlink and/or force Muskrat to sell it off to somebody who isn't a complete piece of shit and then let them buy Boost Mobile. The last thing anyone needs is Musk any more deeply involved with telecoms or satellites, owning the launch platform should be enough.

Article linked elsewhere seems to indicate it didn't go to German users because the German QA team found the issue before it was sent, but due to an internal communication breakdown the issue didn't make it back to the international team before the emails had already been sent. GOG immediately apologized for the mistake and changed their internal processes to catch these types of mistakes sooner.

It very much reads like an honest mistake, and even then it only impacted a subset of GOG users because it's entirely dependent on the font used to render the email subject. The actual Unicode character used was a curved S (a letter from the Greek character set), but certain fonts render it looking more like the infamous SS symbol.

This seems like a good thing if he can siphon the worst of the crazies from the Republican party. The real test will be if his kook party will have any staying power or if he'll just pop up for one election cycle and then disappear.

I've been very happy with Bitwarden for password management. Their hosted service is pretty good and if you want to retain complete control you can self host.

The most charitable interpretation is that they're banking on taking at least one chamber of Congress and actually being able to remove him from office this time. That it simply wasn't worth releasing any of this stuff before because they knew the GOP had control of everything and would kill any attempt to hold Trump accountable.

The less charitable interpretation is that this is just an attempt to swing the midterms more in their favor and no matter the outcome nothing meaningful will come of this.

I'm hoping for the more charitable interpretation, but even of it's the other case if it moves the needle even a bit away from MAGA I'll take it.

Trumps DOJ is too busy protecting the perpetrators to worry about protecting the victims.

I've been a professional programmer for over 30 years with some of the biggest companies in the world. I've worked with assembly, c, c++, c#, java, kotlin, perl, lua, haskell, rust, javascript, typescript, coffeescrpit, dart, php, python, and I'm sure 3 or 4 other languages I've just forgotten about at this point. Some of those languages are terrible and I hope never to touch again, others were great and I'd be happy to work with.

PHP should have been retired as a language 20 yeara ago, but WordPress has kept it alive all this time. The rest of the industry has moved on and learned lessons from what came before, but the sheer momentum of hundreds of thousands of WordPress installs has somehow kept PHP alive. The language started as a hack, and it remains a hack. It's gotten faster over the years, but it's still just as badly designed today as it was when it was originally created.

Of course it's Primeagen. I haven't watched this particular video, but I've seen enough of his videos to know he's an idiot. I wouldn't trust anything he says about programming, at least half of everything he says is wrong.

Most of the things wrong with PHP can't be fixed, at least not without completely breaking all the existing PHP apps in such a fundamental way it would be tough to argue it's still the same language.

Correction, anything can function as the wrong fuse, but only the right fuse will actually keep your stuff from catching on fire. People always seem to forget that you want fuses to blow because if they don't something else will at best melt and at worst ignite. A blown fuse (or tripped breaker) isn't a problem, it's a symptom.
