Yarmuk 636 is one of the most depressing events in history.

Whenever I read about that or the disasters that ensued in the following centuries I always spend a day depressed.

Grim.


Hey, get with the times. Whitewashing jihadis is in vogue these days.

You might be into that. The rest of us like to analyse things honestly, especially given America is going down the route of making the same moves as history. If you don't see that, then it'd probably be better for you to go read something than to offer pithy comments on here.

Personally I preferred Boylestad as well as Sedra & Smith.

Boylestad was an excellent first look at electronics with S&S being great for going in-depth on some topics.


>list of requirements So basically Neovim, but swapping out Lua for something else.


And with better defaults akin to Helix


Always check MDN - for web stuff they truly are the best reference out there.


>cleaning, buying food, coordinating

Food? A party's just booze and music, maybe even move some furniture out of the way for a dance floor.


Millennial here - they definitely were real! Even back in 2008-2010 when I was in high school.


Even after high school, when I moved to the city we had parties quite often. They weren't quite as large, drunk, or disorganized, but people actually got together all the time. Some places were like designated party spots, where no one had kids or demanding jobs so it was a reliable place to head and have a good time.

My kids don't know anyone or anything like that. It's so strange. They still have sleep overs where they play video games and use their phones. That's fine in a way. At their age I was in the woods getting drunk and starting bonfires. It was fun as hell, but maybe something closer to the middle would be ideal.


It looks beautiful! Now, if I could just find a non-JVM version...


I have to agree, particularly if you look at functions as pipelines: data/events go in, other data/events go out.

If I had to hazard some kind of heuristic with 99% applicability, it'd be to always strive to have code with as few indentations (branches) as possible. If your code is getting too indented, those deep Vs are either a sign that your implementation has a strong mismatch with the underlying problem or you need to break things up into smaller functions.


I think this is a human thing, being very myopic given our short lifespans, we forget even relatively recent things.

The Cold War for example was full of these intricate, complex and stunning feats of spycraft that they'd pull off on each other.
