It is clear nobody here read the article. Turns out German “journalism” students are even worse at their jobs than those who get the sham degree.

As soon as fighting is over they become captives. Hamas follows Islamic rules for the treatment of captives.


Were the Epstein files too legible?
A thousand times this. People hate bad female actors not because they are female but because they are bad actors.

Airbnb no longer ads much value over hotels. Their pricing is frequently similar.


The original video I saw of this was a clip of only the cop assaulting the old man.
Then someone asked for context, and they posted this “full video”
So ironically you already have “context”.
Unless I find a longer video, in which case the cycle continues.


Adopting a mindset to reduce the amount of risky consumption is more effective than avoiding it at any cost.


I thought the biggest problem for Python would be the GIL as it cannot share memory between processes and therefore needs to do use a database or other tool to share between them. Though in hindsight most web related services probably use databases to read and write data and this do not work out of shared process memory.


I thought Rust was faster for basically every metric?
The entire advantage of Python is supposed to be ease of development, in exchange for slower code execution. It is especially bad in terms of multiprocessing, which Rust is great at.
As I severely lack expertise on back-end development I asked for clarification to the forbidden oracle (AI) but it also told me that Rust is faster. I am not sure whether you feel like debunking an AI comment but if this is false I would love to hear why because from my current understanding Rust is always faster (for back-end development).
That statement is technically false, but it contains a grain of practical truth that often confuses people.
Here is the breakdown of why that statement is misleading and where the misunderstanding comes from.
Rust is almost invariably faster than Python, even in IO-bound tasks.
If you have a web server handling 10,000 concurrent connections that are all waiting on a database (pure IO-bound), the Rust server will use significantly less RAM and CPU to manage those “waiting” connections than the Python server.
The argument assumes that “IO-bound” means the CPU does zero work. That isn’t true. Even in an IO-heavy application, the application server must do the following:
Event Loop Management
The server has to track which connections are waiting and which are ready to resume.
asyncio loop has significant overhead because it is still running interpreted Python code to manage the tasks.Serialization/Deserialization
When the database replies, the server receives raw bytes. It must turn those bytes into objects (JSON parsing, ORM model instantiation). This is CPU-bound work.
The GIL (Global Interpreter Lock)
Even if your code is async, Python can only execute one bytecode instruction at a time per process.
The person making that statement is likely conflating “faster” with “indistinguishable to a human.”
If a database query takes 100ms:
To the human user, 100.1ms and 105ms feel exactly the same.
In this specific context, you could argue that Python is “just as fast” as Rust because the bottleneck is the database, not the language. But it is incorrect to say Python is faster.
The statement “web servers are IO-bound” is often true for something like a simple blog.
It is less true for the Fediverse.
ActivityPub (the protocol PieFed and Lemmy use) involves two things that are heavily CPU-bound, not IO-bound:
JSON Parsing
Fediverse servers throw massive JSON blobs at each other constantly.
Cryptography (RSA Signatures)
Every time a server sends a message to another server, it must cryptographically sign it (HTTP Signatures). Every time it receives a message, it must verify the signature.
cryptography), which are fast, but the overhead of calling back and forth between Python and C for every single request adds up.The statement is false.

The F-16C Fighting Falcon crashed around 10:45 a.m. during a training mission “over controlled airspace in California,” according to a statement from Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.


The EU is buying a ton of American weapons though?


Germany should build up a massive army to pre-emptively invade Russia. But first they should unite the rest of Europe. It is very pressing so there is no way to do this except by toppling their corrupt regimes. In fact lets start with Poland.


Piefed uses Python which is faster for development but the language is slower. Lemmy is built on Rust. I appreciate some features Piefed has but I do wonder about its scalability.


Canada is a big weapons supplier to Israel, the modern day Nazis. If that does not break their code of conduct nothing will.


NYPost does not care about what their readers think. Their only job is to push a certain agenda. It is a propaganda rag.


I like how all Arch based distros are in “quotes” by the way.


It is a lot of slow frog boiling. They start off with “voluntary” so they can eventually introduce mandatory conscription without too much pushback.
Europe and the US are very likely gearing up to start World War 3 in a few years.
