I'm not even reading the article, this is such a dumb premise that comes up every time. If Europe was forced to compete as a single nation, we'd have a lot fewer participants. And then there's just the fact that counting medals is kinda dumb anyway, since some sports have may more medals than others - a country that specialises in ice skating will often be good at many types of it, be it 500m, 1000m, etc.
Heh, are you saying relations with Israel are worse than those with Hamas? And which of those two (note: that's Israel and Hamas, not "Arab territories") is at the receiving end of most European money?
The main thing about Israel/Palestine is that Europe (and especially the US) has significant leverage over one of the parties, which gives it more responsibility for its transgressions.
I'm glad I live in a place where this would give you almost no info.
Because there's more than two options.
Honestly the biggest takeaway for me is that apparently, they talk like this in private as well. In other words, they do seem to actually believe what they say. Or at least believe that they have to keep up appearances to each other.
Appears to be a mistake, but needs gorhill to appeal to make the reviewer aware of the mistake and to be able to fix it, which he doesn't feel like doing because he thinks it's unlikely to have been a mistake.
Update: now reversed, but gorhill removed it himself just to not have to deal with the review process and the possibility of human error anymore.
This sounds exactly like the type of nontechnical nonsense they're complaining about: attacking a strawman ("they're trying to prevent people from refactoring C code and making them rewrite everything in the current fancy language") even after explicitly calling out that that was not going to happen ("and to reiterate, no one is trying force anyone else to learn Rust nor prevent refactorings of C code").
They've committed to not changing any displayed text ("strings"), so that translators have time to translate everything.
I'll always upvote StreetComplete.
If TypeScript still is a fad at this point, his definition of fad is far lengthier than mine is.
I'm fairly sure TypeScript will remain in popular use longer than whatever project you're working on 😅
It's a good thing we're no longer this narrow-minded, right? Right?
Is trade not one end receiving money? Is it not leverage that we could stop that trade?
