Not necessarily, you can just call the functions in the C library from D as you'd call them from C or C++ with the added benefit of being able to leverage the D GC, RAII, macros etc.

Dunno about the Debian benchmarks game or their build environment. I did my own benchmarks and it was quite easy to write working D code compared to C, C++ or Rust. I used LDC, the LLVM D compliler as opposed to DMD. Dub is not that seamless compared to Cargo but given that you have to set things up manually, it doesn't encourage dependency hell.

If you're writing networking code, Go is probably a better choice than vibe.d.

That's exactly what Mr. Loophole would say. Mickey risking his life for ad revenue. Sure. Mickey throwing his bike in front of a speeding vehicle, when he clearly dismounted before getting struck. Sorry mate, I live, drive and cycle in a country with the highest road fatalities in the EU. I think its unfair to take it out on Mickey.

It all ends up like YAML. Thanx but I'd rather take the parens any day.

> The Wikipedia Tungsten article states the largest reserves are in China followed by Canada, Russia, Vietnam and Bolivia

Easy one, then. The administration will kidnap the president of Bolivia, install a replacement and strike a minerals deal.

This doesn't even seem that far fetched at this point. The economic influence of the USA is being eroded at every turn. Their military capabilities could very well turn out to be their last hope one day. South America stands virtually no chance against even a decadent USA. It's actually embarrassing how weak South America is.

The problem is that the main military enemy of South America is Other Bits Of South America, especially internal enemies. That's why Costa Rica has no military: can't have a military coup without a military.

(also the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraguayan_War was so devastating that nobody wants to get back to that point)

A BND (German intel) analysis shows otherwise.

"The BND stated that these expenditures are being used not only to sustain the ongoing war in Ukraine but also to expand Russia’s sub-threshold operations against countries on NATO’s eastern flank."

Fuck the BND

> What would targeting NYC help Iran?

Destroy the infidels? Of course it doesn't exactly help anyone, but at least that's what their leadership keeps telling Iranians.

You'll have bots spreading propaganda in notime if it gets succesful even without those. So the 'algorithmic recommendation' (aka ads and propaganda) don't even have to come from the platform operator.

You can probably trivially shield the GPS with an aluminium foil sticker once you know where the antenna is. The GPS sgnal is very weak.

I think the GPS antenna is either omnidirectional or very nearly so., since my phone can get location in many orientations.

So I don't think a single foil sticker would make much difference.

Unlikely. The data is freely available for download from geofabrik and other sources.

The data is, the app isn't. OSM provides a giant data dump, not a way to view maps

We are still making hardware and feel the same way about the US market. The litigation is insane. Meanwhile the Chinese don't give a damn about any of those.
