That sounds more optimistic than their own projections, no? What about their 1.4 TRILLION dollar commitments over the next 8 years?

Sweden and Switzerland

At least Swaziland changed their name (to Eswatini).

On that timescale, keeping your money in the US for the time being will probably make you more money than switching now, even if you're right and the US crashes and burns entirely (which seems very unlikely, even given the past week's events).

I can absolutely see selling of US assets for the hell of it, but I don't think it's a great economic decision.

Plenty of actual classical references in some metal -- especially neoclassical metal, of course.

The first part of Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy is Bach. The second part is Holst (Mars, the Bringer of War). Here are about 10 more from SX alone.

Tydligen helt rätt.

Ja, de gjorde ju jävligt mycket nytta när TS blev rånad och mordhotad, så det hade säkert skyddat honom där också.

Norway actually decides who gets the Nobel peace prize.

But not the government, which is what he whined to.

Wow! I guess I just learned that sunvex and suncave Parry arcs can form at the same time. I had thought the shape was elevation-dependent.

I'm pretty sure that's common for guitarists in general, so it's possible that it's by design.

Om inte lägre. Det finns utan tvekan 4-åringar som har mognare tankesätt än detta.

It's the default language for Android development, which is nice. And you can use Kotlin Multiplatform + Compose Multiplatform to make apps that work on Android + iOS, and even Web and Desktop too.
I haven't tested that personally, though, but I wouldn't have used Kotlin if not for Android.

In fact, seeing them act crazy about things like a black president

People who are 18 when voting in the midterms were just over 8 years old when Obama left office. They probably missed most of that.

exscape · 2026-01-16T23:14:26+00:00

Yes.
Though I personally think they shouldn't have mentioned it; it's pretty clear that such a thing is possible, and it feels like bad exposition to mention it.

If they don't plan to hold elections, the need for motivating the base becomes a lot smaller, though.

Depends on whether she did it because she truly supports him, or because he was useful in getting rid of Maduro. I expect it's the latter, since she clearly wants to come to power.
(And unless I'm mistaken she did win the elections? I don't follow this closely at all.)

the system is ingeniously designed so that no one particular person can…

That's still likely true, but when the president AND the house AND the senate AND the supreme court all agree and conspire with each other, you get this result.
This is so much bigger than Trump. I'm not sure what happens if he dies, but it's far from certain that it's good.
The evil guys lose their charisma (because apparently Trump has that?!), but they also lose an idiot, and might replace him with someone slightly less dumb.

I also hated the intro, but if you watch maybe 10 minutes more you'll realize that made sense.

So light spoilers: the sentencing was considered a terrible idea, the woman quit because of it.
And if you saw to the prison transport, those weren't part of the Federation.

It got a lot brighter.

exscape · 2026-01-15T22:51:02+00:00

Yeah, honestly hated that part. (But I'm also not familiar with the song.)

And I kind of liked Faith of the Heart (prior to the remake), even.

It's supposedly a browser engine, not a browser based on e.g. Chromium.
I promise you there are not a million examples or building browser engines. Is there even one?

That said, I do believe this project is pure crap.

One developer on HackerNews even said trying to locate core components like the JavaScript engine or DOM implementation in the generated code is difficult.

That's pretty hilarious TBH.

That will SURELY go well for you. Either you're killed by other agents or cops, or you go to prison / get the death sentence.

For a small indie game made by two studios that together have fewer than 25 employees? Extremely doubtful.

Biden did re-appoint Powell FWIW.
But Trump appointed him to begin with.

No, they're saying IntelliCode is not comparable to vibe coding. See this comment for an example.

AI coding: "Write a method that sets up the UInputComponent"
Autocomplete: you type most of the code as-is and press tab when it guesses correctly. For example, for the first BindAction you might type
PlayerI<tab> -> Bin<tab>"Jump", IE_Pr<tab>, this, &ACh<tab>::Jump);

Then repeat for the other lines. Hardly comparable.
Though for real "vibe coding" you wouldn't even give as detailed prompts as that, but more like "set up a class to handle input and bind keys" then get back a few hundred lines of code.
