I don't think it's fair to say that Europeans started. Danes always bought US hardware over European arms, went to war when US called and lost soldiers. Now they are threatened with imperial invasion and called a 'bad ally' by their 'ally'. This was one of the most pro-US countries in the world.
Europeans absolutely agree with your statement. So do Canada and Mexico.
Alas, the US declared Ukraine's president a dictator, is literally talking about annexing its allied neighbors, and launched a trade war against them and the EU.
The EU has been very explicit about wanting to maintain good relations with the US but the US unilaterally decided to treat its allies as enemies (except for Israel) and instead cozy up to Putin. Canada, Mexico and the EU have been extremely consistent and very measured in their responses.
If you don't want allies to turn into enemies, I'm sorry but you need a regime change. Unless you are literally asking for the rest of the world to join forces and invade the US to depose the government, I don't know what you expect us to do. This is on you, not us.
By the way, allegedly Trump is working on an EO that would declare fentanyl a WMD, which would legally justify military strikes in Canada and Mexico. I'm not saying the US is going to do that but given that Trump refuses to acknowledge the Canadian president and instead consistently refers to him as a "governor", and keeps insisting that Canada should be part of the United States and that the border is illegitimate - I'm sorry but this scenario is beginning to sound increasingly more plausible, especially once the tariffs on imports from Canada (e.g. fertilizer) will start to directly affect Americans and Trump will need someone to blame for the damage he caused. This isn't conduct appropriate for an "ally".
Frankly us Europeans (similarily: Canadians) have no choice. Trump demonsttated quite clearly that if you're down he will squeeze every last drop out of even his closest allies — just look at how he treated Ukraine.
So the choice is to be at the whim of a despotic tyrant from abroad or do your own thing. I guess there aren't many populations out there who'd prefer the former.
But I also see it as a chance. Europe is the biggest single market in the world and got a lot going for itself. Becoming less reliant on US security guarantees and other things the US provides was overdue. Trumps predecessors understood that keeping European potential moderated by ultimately ensured US influence within Europe remained strong.
So as much as I hate to witness what my American friends do to themselves, it feels like Europe is waking up, finally.
And, sadly, I know many people that think the same. Maybe not a civil war per se but we're heading towards many internal conflicts. And the more we wait to solve things, the worse it'll be.
I can somewhat imagine this happening in the USA after Jan 6th set the example of modern political violence in the USA.
But regarding Europe, I see more right-wing politicians getting elected more often in some EU countries as a response to allowing extra immigration from the war in Syria. In Poland as a counter-example, it went the other way. However, all of these political shifts were non-violent.
"Civil war" is politics via violence. Please give me a scenario as to how you see that happening in specific countries in the EU.
>If this is the case, what is your proposed solution to avoid this "civil war" in France?
I am neither French nor responsible for the generals writing the open letter. Why not ask them?
You asked for evidence of possible civil war in the EU. I provided evidence from a very compelling source of such a possibility in one of the EU's founding members, something you obviously had not been aware of. Taken aback, all you can do is to sputter "no u".
> This report will provide greater detail about the multistep effort devised and driven by Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election and block the transfer of power. Building on the information presented in our hearings earlier this year, we will present new findings about Trump’s pressure campaign on officials from the local level all the way up to his Vice President, orchestrated and designed solely to throw out the will of the voters and keep him in office past the end of his elected term.
> As we’ve shown previously, this plan faltered at several points because of the courage of officials (nearly all of them Republicans) who refused to go along with it. Donald Trump appeared to believe that anyone who shared his partisan affiliation would also share the same callous disregard for his or her oath to uphold the rule of law. Fortunately, he was wrong.
> The failure of Trump’s plan was not assured. To the contrary, Trump’s plan was successful at several turns. When his scheme to stay in power through political pressure hit roadblocks, he relentlessly pushed ahead with a parallel plan: summoning a mob to gather in Washington, DC on January 6th, promising things “will be wild!”
> That mob showed up. They were armed. They were angry. They believed the “Big Lie” that the election had been stolen. And when Donald Trump pointed them toward the Capitol and told them to “fight like hell,” that’s exactly what they did.
> Donald Trump lit that fire. But in the weeks beforehand, the kindling he ultimately ignited was amassed in plain sight.
- Economy is not getting better for everybody. Affordable housing doesn't exist anymore. Owning a car is becoming more and more expensive due the price increases and taxes while also paying other taxes to subsidy rich people buying expensive EV.
- Public services like healthcare are becoming a nightmare everywhere in Europe. COVID changed everything. If you are sick you better have a private insurance or you'll have to wait months for anything. I had to wait 8 months for a 5 min call to tell me the result of some tests. Thankfully it doesn't look like anything serious but that's not the case for everybody.
- Other services are worse. Having to pay money to do some paperwork reminds me of the corruption in Eastern Europe after the fall of the communism.
- We're already exporting terrorist to fight in foreign countries
- You can see even in HN people talking about moving cities because they are unsafe
- Russia is at war with us, fighting the long war, waiting for any chance to destabilize us. Meanwhile a huge part of the US population supports Russia and wants nothing to do with the EU.
- Dumb policies that come from the EU that restrict speech, therefore freedom, only to keep some bureaucrats happy.
- More friction in politics than ever. The era of respectful debate and sharing of ideas is over. Now you have to be incendiary, be trending topic on twitter, point at your enemy (not rival anymore), threaten them and create more friction than ever.
Now, all this is only getting worse. There's no will to improve things because there's no acceptance of a problem. You say immigration must be regulated, you're a fascist. You say big corporations shouldn't be able to do certain things, you're a communist. We only scream at each other while things get worse. We're going at full speed with no brakes.
I think there's a bigger chance of a conflict in Europe than in the US. We only need a country to fuck up and drag everybody else.
It looks fancy but after using it for a while I can't really see what are the benefits of using it over something like tmux which is battle tested, fast, robust available everywhere, etc.
I haven't tried this, but I'm always frustrated that tmux doesn't have sane scroll and copy/paste behavior out of the box. I'm not even sure how to configure it properly to have sane behavior. If this could solve that by default, as well as making it easier to restore sessions I might be in.
we don't have parity with tmux yet. in terms of scripting and screen splitting, tmux is better. but, we will get there for most of the features, and i hope we'll be able to deliver those features in a more user-friendly and accessible way to non-power users. by using web tech, we know it is (relatively) easy and possible.
imo, building these types of features into your terminal make a lot more sense than having them run on every remote machine. ever run tmux inside of tmux?
While I use tmux and don't like this new Wave app, tmux is not entirely battle-tested. For example, displaying images in terminal is a problem with tmux.
I only know laravel from skimming the docs, but I got the impression that there was not enough difference between it and Django to justify switching to a language you don't know,going either way.
That said... Does Laravel have something like Django's admin view?
Processing or ingesting? We're being bombarded with information and we're not capable of digesting it all.
Same with goes with communication. We're probably thousands of km away from each other and we can communicate but we can't bond, that why people are more lonely than ever.
Not as good as it used to be. I'm a backend developer with around 8 years of experience.
I actually received 2 offers today, the first two in like a month. One is not for me, and I don't think I'm ready for the other one. I'm having a big imposter syndrome lately. I guess I need some time to learn more stuff and collect my thoughts.
If it helps, some of the most successful people I know made their achievements by taking a risk on their current capabilities. It's obvious to say, but the best way to grow is to be in a position where you have a good growth opportunity - and inherently, that means you'll be swimming in a slightly bigger pond than you're comfortable in.
I don't know anything about the specifics of your situation, so definitely discount this advice if it's not applicable - but remember that every high level / successful person had to be, at some point, wholly out of their depth in order to rise to the occasion!
I've been having big time imposter syndrome lately, too. I haven't received a single offer in any of the interviews I've been doing, either. It's been especially hard to keep that at bay after getting laid off again, but that's how this economy seems to be going for the foreseeable future.
Feel you distortion. It makes you really feel a bit shaken, when you have your internal view of what you can do, what you are good at, and think 'yeah, I'm decent'. And then you interview / apply and the rejection seems to be saying 'you go it wrong bro, WE don't think you are any good!'
