i used to always use proper em- and en-dashes because i care about typography, now i force myself to use a regular dash whenever even the assumption i used ai for what i wrote may impact me negatively
completely off-topic, but i love the fact that this blog has the exact shade of black for the background as my site loosh.ch. Guess we both took it from some of the Google product’s night theme
> This has long been the argument for a male-only draft. One woman can make 1-2 babies every 9 months on average.
It is difficult and expensive to speed that up; you can
implant quadruplets and induce labor at six months, but
that introduces all sorts of other problems. Sperm is
much easier to obtain.
this argument is detached from ukrainian realities. Can ≠ will. Also have you checked the birth rate? Do you expect it to grow in a post-war context?
> Women, if too many men die in the war
so who will then raise these 1-2 babies every 9 months on average? If women need to replace men in the workforce, first they need to go through education and training. Along with having children, it’s incredibly hard to accomplish
> Women entered the workforce in large numbers for
the first time. Plenty of precedent for this sort
of shift
in the same sentence you say ‘for the first time’ and then ‘Plenty of precedent’. You either have no idea what ‘plenty’ means or you contradict yourself
the states weren’t ruined like europe was. The large numbers you are talking about are only large compared to normal historical numbers and female population percentage
also you completely ignore the cultural context, ukraine is not the states. The story of your country, which seems the only one you know, isn‘t as relevant as, for example, the history of ussr. We didn’t have a boomer generation. There are way too many differences for me to continue, so surely you are uneducated on the ussr history
> yelling at others.
yelling? Not a single exclamation point but still yelling? You have a rich imagination for sure
that argument is uninformed, check the birth rate in ukraine
also check who are these refugees abroad: mostly women and children. How many will return? No one knows. Also what’s the incentive for women to return knowing there are far less options to marry?
who will be working hard jobs where men are prevalent?
what about the current generation? Who will be rebuilding the country from ruins? I’ve never seen women working in construction in ukraine
also this is cynical, your position assumes it’s either men or women, not sharing the military service duty
go learn the history and then come here to comment on the matter
> The constitution made it impossible to make a less sexist law
with the right level of public exposure citizens would surely have been able to put enough pressure on the government to make this happen. But instead zelensky kept repeating the talking points that we should not be concerned about the war because the risk had not changed since 2014. Near-zero effort was made to evacuate ukrainians living near the russian border or those who would be in the way of russian troops. The intelligence had been there for at least six months before the war began
> and the government was already struggling with making a law at all
agreed, i use neovim as a terminal multiplexer because vi-mode is really bad. I wrote a blog post on how i solved the issue for myself https://loosh.ch/blog/neovidenal
hey folks, a while ago i made gouse to toggle ‘declared and not used’ errors in Go
the goal of gouse is to make debugging and exploratory phase easier
recently i improved the tool and published integration plugins for all the major IDEs like VS Code [1], Cursor, Windsurf, Google Antigravity [2], IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and GoLand. And since the back end of the tool is a cli, (Neo)vim integration [4] is super simple
> being posted by Americans
> Americans with vested interests
proofs, please?
> who would never dream of posting the same comment if it was about the US reducing their dependency on Chinese tech
it’s just your assumption. I personally don’t know anyone from the states who would want this except their government
> Imagine a post on that topic - there have been many when it was higher on the agenda - and droves of Europeans commenting "Gee, how strange that the US wants to do this"
again, it’s the government who fights the dependency on China, not the regular people. You are confusing politics and normal people’s concerns
so much reasonable scepticism here is being downvoted, i don’t get why
to add my 2 cents: why does anyone think the EU countries don’t or won’t pose the same risks as the US? They might just be doing it silently and illegally. Where is the guarantee that the mere fact a service is EU-based provides benefits over using US-based ones?
hey there, i was trying to get my Neovim key bindings and plugins in my terminal and have spent quite a bit of time trying to solve this task. Sharing it in case you ever wanted to achieve something similar. It’s a repost, i made some updates to the original version, e.g. added a few demo gifs and clarified a couple of code snippets
