There was no flame war in this thread. But there is clear evidence of abuse and harassment by a mod. I'm flagging dang's post in the hope that a real moderator will look at it.
What an embarrassment indeed. Hackernews deserves better moderation.
America was murdering people in the Middle East more than a decade before ISIS was formed. How is what America did in Fallujah any less evil than what Russia did in Mariupol?
Yes, Russians didn't manage to take Kiev or Kharkiv. But that doesn't change the fact that they are making progress in the east and the south. Wars have more than one front.
Fun fact: the rabidly anti-Nuclear part of German politics is the Green party. Who are also the most pro-American and pro-War faction these days. It makes 0 sense.
I use both GitHub and Gitlab for contributing to various open source projects. In my experience Gitlab is far superior. Github is too sluggish and buggy compared to Gitlab.
