I don't know, socket.io already feels like an unnecessary abstraction to me, and this is another abstraction on top of it. I generally dislike APIs that hide what's happening under…

I've been using Odin for the last ~6 months, wrote a 15k loc project and it's been an absolute pleasure. This is my first low level language after 10 years of web dev, and it feels…

It does bounds checking for you but there's not memory safety feature a-la Rust. That's not the point of Odin anyway.

> I wonder what do you think is the solution to this? Hard to tell, to be honest. Maybe the solution is a presidential republic with a federal government like the USA. Maybe it's t…

Of course not. The average citizen can't wait to sacrifice their livelihood to show it to Putin. People LOVE to take cold showers while feeling morally superior to the evil Russian…

I know the EU council appoints a commissioner. Sorry if I don't go on and explain every aspect of how the EU works everytime I write about it. The point is that we have 2 levels of…

Not that voters have any mechanism to punish them. EU elections have very little consequence on the appointment of the comission.

The same leadership that at the start of the sanctions regime claimed Russia's economy was about to collapse is still in power, mostly uncontested. I remember Mario Draghi's condes…

I keep telling you this system is broken, you keep replying that this is how things are supposed to work in this system. I agree that this isn't going anywhere.

> The main problem I see is not the "accountability", as the commissioner is accountable to the council that picked them. You realize that cannot work when both the council and the…

> The allies actually did create a just peace through strength They won the war, the goal was clearly defeating the axis. Did you have a shower today or did you achieve a just and …

> So what's the deterrent but for Europe to buy its own umbrella? We already have an umbrella and it costs 3 times as much as Russia's umbrella, while being much less effective. So…

Nothing of what I said is incorrect, yet you chose to provide a condescending and pointless explainer instead of addressing my arguments. Why is VDL ruling the commission if her pr…

A "just peace through strength", right? Orwell would be so proud, Newspeak has become the official European language.

There are many experts saying that tomorrow won't rain, unless we make it rain ourselves. Don't make it sound like there's a clear consensus. > What data do you have that Russia wi…

> The EU is a democratic institution I don't understand how Von Der Leyen got "elected" again then, given her horrible performance, and that only a 37% of Europeans views her favou…

Exactly where we drew it with the USA and Israel I'd say.

People claimed that Russians were stripping stolen washing machines for chips, that sanctions would have collapsed their economy, etc. Lots of people claim lots of things, sometime…

As far as I know, invading other countries and bombing civilians is an informal requirement for friendship with the EU. We've been friends for decades with the US, Israel, Turkey, …

> The only language bullies understand are consequences. Putin annexed part of another sovereign country in 2014 and faced no consequences. He therefore launched a full on occupati…

Basically making more debt that the future generations will have to pay? The end result will be the same. These are just financial tricks, money can be created out of thin air but …

I would even agree on this, but I wonder why do I never hear anyone requesting for the EU leadership to be held accountable for pursuing a policy of blind dependence on the US? We'…

> Russia can attack with ten million men armed with knifes and clubs. This is just baseless propaganda and you know it. What a shame would it be for the west and Ukraine if an army…
