Your clique might be more skeptical. Statistics show the population at large is not.


It seems obvious to me. Just like drawing and sketching helps thinking about design, coding helps thinking about programming.

It's one of the reasons for the "one to throw away"-idea of writing shitty code first just to get it to work, and then remake it after you have thought through the problem by coding it.


He repeated it several times.

Europe certainly takes it seriously. Germany and France has spoken out officially against it, with Macron even visiting Greenland to show support.

Denmark is freaking out, and want to remove all dependencies on the US as quickly as possible.


Trump has several times threatened to take Greenland, by military force if necessary. He categorically has "not ruled out" military force against a NATO ally.

First source, but there are many: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/04/world/greenland-annexatio...

This has, for obvious reasons, been huge news in all of Europe and especially in Denmark.

I'm sure MAGA Americans want to hand-wave it away, and since Trump is so difficult to understand and says so many whacky things, we're all hoping he doesn't mean it, but it's underscored the need to quickly get independent of the USA.

Trump says many things that nobody actually believes.

Edit: @ujkhsjkdhf234 Answering your question from below here:

>Trump says many things no one believes then he does. Stop steelmanning for Trump.

That's actually a good political strategy in tough times: Keep your opponents always unsure about what you're gonna do next. Why do you think Putin invaded Ukraine under Biden and not under Trump?


Trump says many things no one believes then he does. His supporters often play it off as he's joking and then whoops turns out he does it. Stop excusing Trump and take his words seriously.


> Trump says many things that nobody actually believes.

It's not a valid argument to use the general case here. Because in the case of this particular statement, it clearly isn't true that "nobody actually believes" it. It's clear that many people actually believe it.

> That's actually a good political strategy in tough times: Keep your opponents always unsure about what you're gonna do next.

I mean, sure. But in this case Denmark thought they were an ally, not an opponent. Should they also be unsure about whether one of their territories is going to be attacked?

Or are they, after all, an opponent?


> Trump says many things that nobody actually believes.

I've made this point so many times before but I'll say it again: Trump being either an idiot or a liar is not a valid defense of Trump. Nor is it a "good political strategy".

Also, it's not tough times. I know it doesn't feel that way because Trump is acting as though he requires powers only endowed in times of war, but no, it is not tough times.


It doesn't matter Trump says many random things.

What matters is that the President of the US has said so.


They turned off all pro features


What Wordpress did is insane, but let’s not spread misinformation. There were no pro features in the free plugin to turn off, they removed advertising for the pro version.


I had the same reaction. It's a one time password, so it does not need to be as secure as a permanent one, but it still feels silly to have a long password that you can just type the first few characters and have it auto complete each word, versus just having a shorter password to begin with.

That said I can see how autocompleting from the first three letters of each word for "beaver-grass-hypocondriac-shelf" might be easier for a human than typing "beagrahypshe"


this standard is also pushed by Google and Chrome, AFAIK


Chrome has a different standard called Topics.


The use would be to make a profit


What? Of course they should. It shows they care about their customers, and that they are confident in their use case and honest when they say what they are a good fit for or not


i guess, but when you do this it increases the amount of people who think, “if i’m already going to this company for my database and they offer the same things fly does, why not just go there?”


Can't Github buy some high quality stars every now and then to kill those accounts who look legit (or perhaps once was legit) and ban them for partaking?
