Why is Ukraine listed separately from USSR? It has only been socialist as part of that Commie empire after being conquered by Red Army.

no idea, I did not make this meme. If I'd have to guess, because of Holodomor which resulted in 3M dead people, result of socialist policies.

Makes sense.

Yes, just noticed that Tony Heller, a computer maven and data fan, has just been censored on You Tube for inconvenient thoughts mandating re-education and Gulag time.

Shiff's expression when he realizes his mask is made from Nadler's dirty underwear:

If voting by mail is totally safe and secure, why can't I buy guns online and have them shipped directly to my house without going through a FFL?

Hey @Patrick - this is how to embed newtube.app video into a webpage:

https://samoyed.dynu.net/~patrick/example_newtube.html

If you have any videos on other sites, I'll figure that out as well. What language are you using? Python? If it's Perl, I can do it in a snap.

If it's Perl

People still use that crap?

If voting is a right, and bearing arms is a right, why should you not have to show ID and submit to a background check before getting a ballot?

Not really funny but real.

Haha, and it's terrible... Why?

I am fully aware of how difficult it is to debug a perl script and to make it secure. Perl is not a secure language, it is practically impossible to make it "bug free", however, for regular expressions - i.e. finding needles in haystacks, I have found nothing that comes close to it. For data mining, there's nothing that comes close.

Python is a distressingly slow language and not a replacement. And don't think I'm a lightweight in this area, I can write in ARM assembly - that's a beautiful machine language. A very elegant design, in my opinion the most intelligently designed architecture ever made. Programming assembly is a lost art though, I'm fully aware.

Perl is so versatile it can be TERRIBLY misused.

So is configuring DOS. I am thankful for tools that allow us to stay away from low level programming concerns.

Does anyone remember segment : offset addressing?

There ya go... That's the answer. That and it's shit to read.

I've been digging Rust lately.

Perl is s...

I used to code in assembly for the commodore Amiga. Beautiful cisc processors those 68000 series with a rich instruction set plus a killer ide with devpac which made assembly almost as convenient as programming in C. Not to mention Amiga OS, one of the best OS ever written.

Rust has great ideas but the syntax is overly complex. Plus I'm not convinced that the owner - borrower model which sits in between self memory management like C and modern GC in the end is that much faster than modern GCs to be worth it (though it's mostly the unpredictable timing of pauses not the overall speed which makes apps avoid GCs). But it's a great concept.
