Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What movie line did you mishear as a child and then have an "a-ha" moment as an adult?
2·1 year agoPretty sure Napoleon had something to do with this saying? I mean, if you don’t take it as closely, you could argue Sun Tzu first came up with it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Should Ukraine build the bomb? How would you feel if they did?
8·1 year agoThat’s my understanding. Furthermore, they had the nuclear weapons of the soviet union. Even if they could maintain them at the time, without much of the infrastructure that the soviet Union had, I think legally they were Moscow’s. Moscow held the metaphorical button, if not the physical one. Similar to US nuclear weapons in Germany aren’t controlled by Berlin.
That being said, I think this whole war has lead to a situation where nuclear armament is very appealing, not just to Kyiv but to many of the similar states looking on. It is again, for world peace we need less nukes in the world, for Ukraine’s sovereign safety, they need (more) nukes.

Programming@programming.dev•Is TypeScript a fad or is my manager delusional?
3·2 years agoInteresting argument. I have used both typescript and JavaScript, but I spend 99% of my time writing firmware in C, because of this I LOVE strongly typed languages, and I get kinda annoyed/paranoid when my variable COULD change type quietly so end up doing (perhaps too much) type checks etc.
I can say with surety I hate programming in both Typescript and JavaScript, but I definitely hate Typescript less because of the typing.
Having said that, I don’t really like the compiled javascript that comes out of the typescript compiler, because it puts some distance between the user and the code and I am all for clarity, especially when people have to go out of their way to not run this code.

Hackers (1995), admittedly it has a fairly respectable 6.2 on IMDB, but only 33% on the tomatometer.
