I mean they had huge protests against lockdowns during COVID which resulted in the government relaxing those lockdowns. I can’t think of a more public or vocal way of criticizing the government than that

You absolutely can criticise the government. Having spent the last year travelling there, it was a regular topic of conversation with locals. There was absolutely no fear of being dragged away by the secret police

Wow. He’s done for now…

Is Chipocalypse honestly the best they’ve got?

Technically, yes.

There are some good videos out there that can explain it a bit better than this

Easiest money I’ve never spent

JavaScript is very easy to understand

I really don’t want to say

Toilets.

I’d say they are doing a pretty good job of dismantling and privatising it under our noses. When I was a kid I got my teeth fixed with braces for free. Can’t do that anymore. Can’t even go to the dentist for a checkup without paying for it now. I’m sure people have other examples if they want to chime in

JavaScript doesn’t suck and it’s performance is more than adequate for most applications. If you are doing some serious number crunching you might want to look at web assembly, but last time I checked it doesn’t actually have access to the DOM so it’s not really got any control over the page itself.

JavaScript is great. Typescript is better. Give JavaScript a go and if you want more safety try typescript.

I personally use the Vue framework for my web apps but there are many others out there, and if you really want to keep things clean you can opt out of using Frameworks altogether.

Anyway, you are never going to be able to completely avoid JavaScript no matter what approach you take, so if suggest learning some and making up your own mind

Easily. I imagine that most spacecraft are already traveling faster than the speed of stick. It’s likely only a few thousand meters per second

Because the stick isn’t infinitely rigid. If you push it at one end the other end doesn’t immediately start moving. The time it takes, I think, is equal to the speed of sound inside that material. Ultimately the forces that bind atoms together and allow them to interact are limited by the speed of light.

Everyone will travel in tubes

Me neither, but I do enjoy it

Today i helped the hostel owner make a Christmas tree. It was fun. He did most of the work but I sat back and supervised, regaling him of tales of all the times I’ve been really drunk in Christmas eve.

Were going out to a bar later to try and emulate the experience.

I’m subscribing to the Marxist view of the capitalist class. I don’t form my opinions based on movies and I’m not sure what movies you’ve seen that paint investors in the way I’m describing them, but do you have any recommendations, because they sound awesome.
