club penguin (it's ok, the twitter reply formatting is impossible to understand)

But orbiting a point 1 meter outside the sun is not orbiting the sun?

You were the one that brough up the comparison in the first place.

I was going to say there was no actual evidence, but huh, I actually fell for some of the tankie lies after enough time. China's deputy health minister Huang Jiefu repeatedly publicly acknowledged that most organ transplants came from death row inmates, and separately China was exporting organs to south korea on a massive scale prior to 2007.

(though it's notable that this has not been connected to the Uyghur situation specifically)

(Also noting that it's Israel claimed to end the practice in 2000, while China claimed to end the practice in 2015)

Nim is more "high level, automatic memory management by default, but you can go 100% manual if you need to", though the reality of doing that is basically the opposite of rust's "everything you need to do is well-documented and solid"

Nim is a compiled language by default, and supposedly cross-compilation is usually as simple as

apt install mingw-w64
nim c -d:mingw myproject.nim

though I haven't really tried doing it (and my general impression of nim is anything "slightly obscure" like cross-compilation still has a non-zero risk of running into unexpected thorny bugs)

It be a joke

it's actually fits 3%.. PER MONTH

I remember tab groups showing up one day by themselves maybe a week ago, and then I quickly clicked about two buttons and now they're totally gone and I almost forgot they were a thing. But likely if I had summarily clicked 2 different buttons it might have been turned on without me realizing it, and that would cause the model to be downloaded and the CPU cycles to be spent (at least if I kept the tab groups on)

They seem to believe Vlang is a cult, and don't like promoting it because of that.

Now I'm pretty sure Vlang is not literally a cult, though it does have a history of controversy where it claims to be ready-to-use and with lots of features, but actually half the features are not implemented and the rest are extremely buggy (at least in 2022), and if you bring that up with the V community they really don't like that.

It is partially self-hosted though, which is cool I guess

Finland never recovered from the 2008 financial crisis, and covid + the end of trade with russia has damaged the economy badly and made public debt balloon heavily. Right now unemployment is about 10%, the 2nd highest in the EU, and the far-right coalition goverment that won the last election is trying to privatize healthcare and disempower unions.

The education system has been getting worse for about the past 15-20 years due to misguided reform attempts (and of course endless budget cuts)

Finland's birth rate dropped below replacement levels about 50 years ago and has been in freefall for about the last 10 years, and now the population pyramid is starting to be in really bad shape, which means the economic situation is likely just going to get worse and worse.

The retirement savings system is designed like a (partial) ponzi scheme due to aforementioned population dynamics, and participation is mandatory so it is effectively a hidden tax on all workers. Due to old people having the majority of the votes, it's the one thing that is immune from budget cuts, which forces the government to sell publicly owned infrastructure and dismantle public services in a futile effort to compensate.

We're going to have nuclear fusion before we have asteroid mining. And I'm not saying that fusion is anywhere close.
