Fourth morning back in Vermont after spending a week on the other side of the world… and I am still wide awake at 2:00am… jet lag is a beast!

Badly needed in Germany, Merz and SPD so called government is only capable of backward motion and attacks on the weakest part of society..
"A pro-Israel messaging website badged with the name of a thinktank that does not exist has published more than half a million words in nine days, built on a commercial platform that promises to optimize content so that AI chatbots will cite it. (...) The site publishes in the name of the Hanover Institute for Public Policy, which apparently does not exist as a legal entity in any jurisdiction, has no physical address, and carries no named staff and no bylines on any of its reports. (...) The site is one part of a broader effort, financed by tens of millions of dollars from the Israeli government and routed through third parties including the European advertising group Havas Media, to prime chatbots to make Israel’s arguments for it"
With allies like these, who needs enemies?

If your Zig code has a for loop in a deinit method, you're using computers wrong.
If your C++ destructor is doing O(N) work thanks to RAII, you are using C++ correctly, but you are still using computers wrong.
@andrewrk RAII is optional in C++, zig doesn't even give you the option. And as others have posted in the thread, not every resource fits nicely in an arena world view.

someone in the US has once again typo'd their e-mail such that it ends up as my e-mail and is furiously trying to order things from a store called "CVS" via DoorDash

Governments want nothing more than to control what people say and read and hear online, and corporate monopolists are their natural allies. So the "kid safety settlement" by Facebook and states is going to be disastrous for everyone who cares about free speech. https://www.techdirt.com/2026/08/26/meta-just-paid-nearly-17-billion-to-make-sure-it-gets-to-write-the-kid-safety-rules-for-every-other-social-media-platform/
Who knew that gargantuan amount of power for Meta could come about through a single court case?
