I know about steel as that is the Lisp I was referencing but it is unused anywhere else unlike Lua, and therefore only really maintained by one person which is not how I'd want a critical language to be used in an editor. Looks like Mitos is looking into using Wasm, from their Reddit comments.
We just got a rental Tiguan eHybrid. It's so big I can't park it anywhere without wasting my time, the high turning angle is annoying compared to my Suzuki, the controls are a hallmark of bad ergonomics and the driving experience is a let down even compared to a Toyota Yaris. I would never pay upwards from 36k euros for such an underwhelming car, when I could get a Corolla hatchback for 26k. The latter is boring, but it offers a seamless driving experience and okay controls.
The Russians have had authorotanian governments since Ivan the Terrible, who in the sixteenth century established the foundations of the modern Russian state¹. So nobody there would get rid of it. It's the normal state of things.
I don't buy it. Every single European country was ruled by non-democratic imperials assholes for a thousand years, until we each lost our last war and became normal modern countries.
There is no reason for me to think that Russia will not be the same. Ukraine could be Russia's last imperialist war. That would certainly be a good thing for the Russian people.
Normally during revolutions, some other worse assholes fill the power void and sieze power. It happened with the 1917 revolution who gave us none other than Stalin. Or the French revolution, which triggered a series of wars and then we had Napoleon filled that power void and started some more wars.
The 1989 revolutions are somewhat different, because they were triggered by the colapse of the USSR, so to some extent a peaceful transfer of power happened. Except for Romania, Moldova and Ukraine who is now paying the price for refusing to become the other Belarus. The collapse of the USSR ultimately led to Putin the wars in Chechhnya, Georgia and Ukraine.
86, 89 what's the difference? Putin is running a fascist elderly home at this point. Younger people in Russia won't be able to buy gas or hail a ride now.
No, what does it matter if he has 89 or 86% approval? Obviously who cares if Russians can't hail a ride? They should've stayed home as Bohumil Hrabal used to say in Closely Observed Trains about those other invaders.
Wiping out the Iranian government will only strenghten the IRGC and other rabid anti US Iranian groups politically. As demonstrated by the recent US strikes that killed Ali Khamenei, wiped out senior Iranian leadership and that girs' school.
