Best way to find yourself in war is not prepare for one. As shown time and again. Also, persuading your enemies not to prepare for war is a part of the war effort.

> As shown time and again

what a load of warmongering bs.. I literally can't think of a single example. Korea, Vietnam, France, Britain, Japan, Germany every country involved in a war in the past ~100 years had prepared for it. Maybe maybe Iraq under Saddam Hussein didn't properly prepare? Though they were highly militarized. On the contrary, the more you prepare and get people frothing at the mouth the more likely it's gunna happen.

Thank god none had been between two nuclear powers so far

They had a bunch of tanks and seemingly lost huge amounts of them. They seem to be a prime example of tanks not working in the modern context

>> They seem to be a prime example of tanks not working in the modern context

Without proper strategy nothing works. Size of the russian army was too small for the task to fight and occupy such a huge county as Ukraine.

Also russians had bunch of old tanks, almost all of them made in USSR.

So what do you propose we do when China attacks? Capitulate?!

Why "when"?

Military build-up. Xi's own bellicose declarations towards Taiwan. Closeness to and participation into other dictator's military endeavors.

quic is more layer 4 or close to tcp reimplementation. Far from http layer 7.

how would they know? - this is (one of) the ways for people to let them know

Let's stop bullshitting, nobody here is going to contribute to Gentoo and is now put off because of this policy change.

What we're looking at is mostly JavaScript monkeys who feel personally offended because they're unable to differentiate criticism of their tools from criticism of their own personal character.

The outrage is purely theoretical.

As a JavaScript monkey I believe you have a point, and this was the core of my original question.

How many contributors to gentoo are upset by this? Probably none.

How many potential contributors to gentoo are upset by this? Maybe dozens?

I'll be amazed if this has any notable negative outcomes for Gentoo and their contributions.

I suspect most of the people upset by this are the sort to dump a pile of unreviewed slop on the maintainers & get upset when it gets rejected, i.e. they're the problem this is aimed at fixing.

No offense intended to JavaScript monkeys, I'm a JavaScript monkey too. And a PHP monkey, which I think is worse.

It isn't though. This is just noise. It's a good conversation thread for HN, but it has absolutely zero influence on Gentoo policy.

The only way it'll be revisited is if active Gentoo developers and/or contributors really start to push with a justification to get it changed and they agree to revisit discussing it again. I can tell you every maintainer has heard the line: 'I would have contributed if you did X thing'.

What's the point of a private bank or do you mean investement/brokerage?

sure, let's ignore russia working on massive annexations in Ukraine

I’m not. But Russia is not the US. The US is suppose to be the world police. If the police is doing the bank robbery, then why shouldn’t everyone else?

they now also compete with aws $15/year certs

yes, same reasons as running ubuntu
