But why would the US destroy NordStream?

There was no gas flowing through the pipeline anyway.

Ukraine is already winning the war.

European states are already looking to buy gas from anywhere but Russia

And finally, there is a huge risk involved for the US. If any evidence ever surfaces, the US may lose the trust of most of its allies. I don't see why taking this risk would be justified.

The problem is that C++ is full of so called "zero-cost-abstractions" that are only zero cost if you ignore:

1. Compile time

2. Non-optimized builds

Stuffing everything into the Standard Library using lots of template magic does has its upside, but debug performance is one of the big downsides.

Another one are really clunky interfaces, like std::variant. This should really have been a language feature, not a library features.

Most lost books weren't lost because they were burned. Ancient manuscripts were usually written on Papryus, which does not last very long. So only the ones that were repeatetly copied survived.

Interesting. I have been near a lightining strike as well (about 20m), so a similar distance. There was a very loud bang. The lightning struck a tree, so maybe that's different.

Also capacitive touchscreens. The resitive ones of older Smartphones wouldn't have worked for the revolutinary UI

I often hear about the great battery life of the Pebble watch, and that there is no smart watch with a comparable one. Thats kind of true, depending what one wants from their smart watch. But there actually is an alternative if you only need basic smart watch capabilites: Sport Watches. I personally only want notifications from my phone, which my Garmin Forerunner 245 can do perfectly well. And it has a battery life of up to 2 weeks, depending on how much I use the GPS of the watch.

I like the video, but the title is a bit misleading. There is hardly any talk about logistics in the video.

It's not that weird, but I stopped eating meat during lent a few years ago. I'm not religious, but here in Austria, many non-religious people abstain from something during lent (sweets, alcohol, cigarettes...), so I tried it for myself.

I actually didn't expect much to happen, but it completely changed my diet. It was the first time I actually had to think about what to eat, and it turned out, that I ate a ton of meat, and not a lot of vegetables.

For the first few weeks it was pretty hard to find something to eat, but it got easier. Over time I discovered more vegetarian recipes I actually enjoy.

I'm not a vegetarian, but nowadays I hardly eat any meat, and still do the meatless lent every year. I lost about 15kg in the year after the first lent, and held this weight every since.

I think one of the biggest problems of Wayland are the "non standard, but kind of necessary" extensions.

E.g. screencapture. Does Wayland support screencapture? Yes (kind of), but I can't write a Wayland screencapture app. I need to write a Gnome screencapture app or a wslroot screencapture app, or I can even write one that supports both.

But what if someone using the new Future Desktop Environment wants to use my app? It probably won't work because it probably will use a different extension for the same behaviour. So I need to add the extension for that too...
