I always find it unbelievable how people do not know or just forget about what happened in the east 85 years ago. Really sad. This is one of the primary reasons why people in the west don't understand why Russia cannot accept Ukraine in NATO. It was NATO that expanded to the east, contrary to the agreements after the fall of the Soviet Union. Russia said for decades that Ukraine in NATO is unacceptable.
Russia is the official successor state of the Soviet Union, the nukes never belonged to Ukraine in the first place. It was Ukraine that first attacked LPR and DPR in 2014. It was Ukraine that forbid Russian language, culture, church, etc... to Russians living in eastern Ukraine. By the way, Odessa will return to Russia.
Let me tell you what's actually "really sad": Bucha as a response to sovereign country's attempt to join NATO. Having a hostile country as a neighbour isn't an excuse for starting a war with it.
Following this logic Mexico and Canada can both join a military alliance with China and Russia, I guess the U.S. must accept that, both are sovereign country's after all...
I had to buy an SSD and some RAM to help my son build a PC.
The SSD cost 30% more than I paid two years ago and was half the capacity (1TB).
The RAM cost double what I paid two years ago, was slower, and was half the capacity (32GB).
It's easy to follow, it's a knee jerk tribalism reaction and not a logical or informed one. Go attracts backend or anti-frontend people so anything intermingling the two will draw out the commenters who bemoan anything that realistically builds a modern website. Just ignore it, your choice for dev tooling is practical and makes sense to me.
As someone who has had to clean up systems that only did a _npm install_ to get compromised, despite being good Renovate citizens, it doesn't matter if it is not "on the production path".
I don't care to hear arguments about how npm was _configured wrong_.
A tool with insecure defaults, with a long and storied history of being the vector by which data has been exfiltrated and companies hacked, needs to do an awful lot to justify still being used for any infrastructure our team is responsible for.
The proxy caches and package solution for Go has had its own drama.
My big contention with this project is that if I wanted to use node (or npm; or vite) in any capacity, I would have chosen node for that. I don’t want to use those tools in this context because it serves me worse than a well thought out solution.
The thought out solution is to isolate your frontend into its own directory. You can embed and serve that as part of your Go server. That frontend could have been done with react, vite, jsx, whatever typescript nonsense you want; without the Go parts necessarily needing npm or node in the build process.
Interesting that they are “dumping” them in Australia and other countries at prices that are competitive but far above what they cost in China.
Below cost of production my ass.
The only Western car company even competing with them is Tesla, who people love to hate for ideological reasons.
Calling what Chinese companies are doing “dumping” is pure cope for the utter failures of Western companies.
Look at my post history, I’m not pro-China at all, but I am a realist and can see the evidence with my own eyes since we can actually get the vehicles here.
I give it 5 years for Western and Japanese companies to be decimated in this market. Can’t say they don’t deserve it.
I hate going to our European offices over summer. It’s 2026 and their concept of climate control is opening the windows or maybe finding a fan somewhere and turning it on.
That doesn’t work so well when it’s 40C outside.
I wonder when they will join the rest of us in the future.
The last year with it has been so bad I canceled our $80 Family subscription and switched to the native Apple one despite its feature gap, because 1Password just couldn’t do its basic job reliably (fill passwords without requiring 20 taps, constant unlocking disregarding lock timer settings or some other arcane dance like force killing Safari to reload the plugin).
Try mentioning AI in a remotely positive light on Mastodon, e.g. just as a side comment about how it let you finally finish a side project or something cool, and you’ll get a wave of neckbeards swarm in to tell you they are blocking you, you are a bad person, killing the earth, fascist supporter, etc.
Very strange, but I’ve seen the same folks dog pile in for other causes, so I guess it’s just a part of the identity now.
