The learning curve is an interesting one. We've had new devs contribute within a sprint from zero knowledge. When they are contributing to an established platform.

Once they start looking beyond the walled garden things get complex. Scala supports a lot of variety in approaches. Which do they choose? Which is ”better"? Those questions can be hard to answer.

For me the variety of choice is great. For a new dev... Not so much.

Seconding what the below poster says. Spark and akka. Akka streams, specifically, was the only real distributed streaming system for a very long time. Which is very, very nice for low latency. Even now it's tough to beat.

I'm amazed by how many gambling ads and games are pushed these days. Really horrible imo.

My previous phone was the Motorola RAZR 5g. No bloat as far as I could tell. Definitely a refreshing experience after the shovel of crap Samsung provided!

What's not so great is when they'll expect a bailout for their stupidity.

"we can do brilliant things with fancy scala but then wrap it up behind an “executable pseudocode” interface so users can access the most common cases"

Heck yea. Totally doable too.

The Koreans I know don't want "unification" because North Korea is not a country they recognize as "the same" anymore. Maybe 50 yrs ago but that's over a generation ago.

Also they think NK is a shithole.

End of active Korean war: 1952

NK food stamp baby rattle, I mean, nuclear testing: 2006

As for war crimes, article one states: ""settle any international disputes in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered, and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations."

So only so much as war crimes are inconsistent with the UN. In short, probably do care. But only as much as "refrain".

As for the second question: no. Can't join if at war. Why tho? I can't find a clear answer. The arguments range from: no, because that put article 5 in conflict with article 1. No, because then that means war with Russia and nobody wants that. No, because the process to join NATO requires political, economic and military integration that cannot occur while a country is at war.

Eh, I'm not convinced by some of those.

Probably going to be, somehow, a bailout paid for by us.

Otherwise I'll invest in a tiny violin.
