I agree, but idiomatic code is in most cases more readable and easier to modify if you start adding things, you don't have to rewrite things from scratch often 😂
Well, in any case, this comes with experience, but a good book might save you some time. The one I have however isn't of this sort, on the contrary, it uses things you won't normally do with Rust as examples.

No, it's KEX, the engine they use for all the FPS remasters nowadays. I did like the way they did the original Quake remaster with it: it doesn't have any graphics enhancements like most opensource engines do and mostly retains the glquake look.

I've started using Rust for my relatively small utilities, but the language is so extensive, there are dozens of ways to do the same thing and I'm not always sure I'm writing idiomatic Rust 😅

That will show her! 🤪

@pointlessone
Interesting theory!
I'd say the timing is a bit odd. Now, having F-16s it might've made sense to weaken Russian airforce first, making ground forces less vulnerable during such a raid. But as I don't have all the information, something else might've contributed to choosing this moment. In any case, it's a bold move.
I hope there won't be many civilian casualties — the officials are of course claiming they are evacuating people, but according to other sources it's all bullshit 😩

@pointlessone
No, I mean tactics-wise — there might be some targets and they might've been lacking range for suppressive fire so they had to cross the border, but even Western think-tanks seem clueless as to what that might be.
More likely this operation is either an attempt to divert forces from other fronts — or indeed, to sow dissent and cause the panic to disrupt the military operations in the adjacent regions 🤷
Either way — only time will tell.

Yes, sadly…

Да многие мне кажется VPN освоили — на телефоне настроить вообще ничего сложного, многие даже платят. Моя давняя подруга платила за Nord ещё года с 2016-ого кажется — хотя к технологиям она никакого отношения вообще не имеет, уж не знаю чем она сейчас пользуется.
Да и в Instagram видно, что люди сидят, не во Вконтакте же им идти или в Одноклассники: «Не солидно» 😂
А Instagram вроде блокируют вполне официально — но как-то же они им пользуются 🤷

А замедление — с тех пор, как они начали это делать, я скорее положительную динамику наблюдаю: то ли из-за того, что они свои ТСПУ-коробки постоянно перенастраивают, то ли они просто перестали справляться с нагрузкой, но сейчас даже обычный WireGuard заработал, которые они раньше фильтровали, и с теми узлами, которые они обычно блокировали по адресу.

@threat
Я напрямую Интернетом не пользуюсь года с 2014-ого — с того момента, когда они только начали Грани блокировать, так что я такие вещи обычно даже не замечаю.
С другой стороны, сам YouTube теперь постоянно разломан, да так, что он у меня в браузере даже с Enhancer for YouTube перестал открываться. Но я его и не особо часто смотрю.

"Ukrop^W Ukrainian flag" 🤣
If not a PsyOp, it's both entertaining and insightful.
I'm not the proponent of calling everything a PsyOp, but the whole incursion into Kursk only makes sense in this context, not in the traditional military sense. Even according to the ISW, the Kremlin is shooting itself in the foot by both overblowing the what's happening internationally to blame Ukraine and downplaying it domestically to prevent panic — they might lose the trust of people.

@rvps2001
Didn't mean to barge into your newsflow, you're doing one hell of a job, but… This is just too funny 😂
I'm currently reading a book about early investments into Russian and Ukrainian Internet sectors and there is a whole paragraph about how bad the barter was and how everyone was happy when it was left in the nineties. But certain geostrategician brought even that back now 🤦

Now they are looking into the options to transition to barter: https://www.reuters.com/markets/first-russia-china-barter-trade-may-come-this-autumn-sources-say-2024-08-08/
That is exactly what bilateral trade between two great superpowers looks like in the new multipolar world! Pooteen's dream comes true 🤣

@kevinrothrock
Good post! But I will still report you to the alt.text enforcement squad. Not everyone can read this, now mostly forgotten language, you know 😜

@trdebunked
But that is beside the point, which is: neither China, nor Elon Musk are trustworthy 🤷

@trdebunked
Starlink for one is being used in Ukraine now, that's a rather extreme case, but it demonstrates the field of application quite well. Rescue teams use satphones during floods, fires, massive power outages, including in the areas where communication isn't available even under normal conditions. Having broadband Internet as an option? Why not, it's good! Of course it doesn't come without downsides, for one, space debris looks like a problem.

@trdebunked
Worse and more expensive than what, submarine communication cabling? I don't think that either of these two is supposed to replace already existing and reliable infrastructure in urban areas, same as satphones didn't replace regular cellphones, but they exist and are very useful where there is no infrastructure or when it goes down in case of emergencies.
