This is literally the definition of a superpower. Authorities are able to do things with little consequences anyone else would pay a heavy price for.

To get into such a position a nation must lose part of its humanity to become a emotionless machine.

    What's with users of fediverse using 'Go back to reddit' as a retort to other users? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
    [–] 1 point 8 months ago

    Reddit has produced a certain culture, many spam bots, toxic fights, that is disliked by many on lemmy.

    So telling them to "go back to reddit" means he is identified as part of that system that made reddit bad?

    This ignores the part that reddit the company created the environment that users have to navigate in.

    Unknown pirate: А можно шутку рассказать? ... Один «ррр» (звонок) – «да», два – «нет». (English: Can I tell a joke? One "rrr" [buzz] for "yes", two for "no".)

UVB-76 operator: [Two clear buzzes.]

Unknown pirate: Да за что?? ... А музыку включить можно? (English: Well, what for? But can I turn on some music?)

UVB-76 operator: [Two clear buzzes.]

Unknown pirate: Почему!? ... А за такие вопросы вам ничего не будет? (English: But why!? Are you going to get in trouble if you answer my questions?)

[UVB-76 buzzer starts.]

Unknown pirate: Да блин! (English: Well, damn!)

    How useful are functional programming languages? (mander.xyz)
     

    I hear they are good, make it easier to maintain code-bases. Most often I reach for python to get the job done. Does anyone have experiences with functional languages for larger projects?

    In particular I am interested to learn more on how to handle databases, and writing to them and what patterns they come up with. Is a database handle you can write to not ... basically mutable state, the arch-nemesis of functional languages?

    Are functional languages only useful with an imperative shell?

    That reluctance only heightens the risks of Grok’s “nudifying” capabilities. “When one company is able to do something and is not held fully accountable for it,” Winters says, “it sends a signal to other Big Tech giants that they can do the next thing.”
