As someone who’s done C++ for 20 years: Rewrite it in Rust

C++ as a community is too toxic and largely unwilling to do the work to change. Ditching C++ makes it possible to move away from that culture.

Ok, this thread by @cwebber is about Bluesky infrastructure architecture, but tbh, this point here goes for a democracy too. It needs to be designed to be as resilient as possible if/when hostile forces gain control over it.

He should’ve been in jail years ago, and here you are.

So I guess the Democrats are just going to hand over the country to a despot because that’s what you do when you play by the rules? Good luck with that. Good luck with history recording you as the Good Guys that handed over the nation to a fascist dictator.

As wild as it sounds, I’m starting to root for variation on Costa Rica’s “Civil War” : arrest Trump and call a new election.

When people in all seriousness put their faith in military personnel refusing orders… then we’re in a precarious situation.
