JIS is much better than Phillps, as long as you have the exact matching driver.

I'm glad you agree, but the problem is that making jokes of their willful evil is literally helping them. It's making light of a situation and implying ignorance in their actions. When in reality they are knowingly trying to kill people,

The first comment worked as bait, but that last question is way too obvious.

Although just for fun:

Then Python is not a scripting language.

That is true. It is often used as one, but it was developed from the start as a general-purpose language.

Would you consider C to be more or less complicated than Perl?

You know about Python, Perl and C. You know the answer and you're just trying to incense people.

Do you know what community you're in? Do you want to start a war?

There is no clear definition because there is a lot of overlap, especially when you get into the details, but:

• Scripting languages are often considered to be very high level and can commonly run without compilation. Making them great to automate tasks or create a simplified interaction/abstraction layer to a more complex program.

• Programming languages usually have much lower level access, and by extension they tend to be more complicated. In exchange for that, you get much more control. Although the access varies from Assembly to languages a C programmer would consider "scripting".

Although for every example, there is basically a counter example. Because programmers being who they are, see it as a challenge to do something with a language that others consider impossible or wrong.

For example, there are things like NodeOS, a "Lightweight operating system using Node.js as userspace."

They got the data they wanted already.

Three months of civilian employees reporting on their tasks each week. They were literally mapping out the internal military structure of operations. And the media is glossing over how Russian IPs have tried to log into DOGE accounts with valid credentials.

An unbelievable amount of material thundered down into the valley

Yeah, watch the video if you haven't. That was huge.

And it's not over: The material is positioned such that it might block the river and flood the valley. So more people have been evacuated downstream.

Edit: also just checked. The statistic is provided by “Statista” who basically just scam people by aggregating statistics they take from other sources and then don’t disclose their sources unless you pay extra.

They block access for anyone visiting from a GDPR area. Which should really tell you all you need to know about how they treat data.

Ishii Shiro is a prime example.

He was the head of Unit 731 and did things like live and unanesthetized vivisections on people, bioloogical weapons testing on children, etc.. Which is among the milder things. The US made a deal for all his data, and he lived his last years in peace and anonymity as a free man. He actually worked for free as a local doctor for a period.

If you look up information about him in Japanese sources, most of it is apparently all about how was such a nice man who helped people, and basically that he did a little oopsie in the 40s.

Yes, the science was valuable,

That's one of the worse parts, they didn't really gain any of the knowledge they hoped for:

However, the information obtained was not of significant value, as the U.S. biological warfare program had surpassed the capabilities of Unit 731 by 1943.

No, you have to wait until traditional media like the evening news and print newspapers do it as well. Because the average boomer is still fed lies about the situation through those.

That's the thing, they know that. Trump just thinks he's "winning" as a master negotiator.

There are a bunch of smart people who know what they're doing, but they're pinning all the blame on the useful idiots like Trump, RFK Jr., Leavitt, Bondi, etc.

Is it morally wrong for an entire nation to bait their despot into increasingly deranged ego trips?

Nope.

The more deranged you can make him a appear, the more people are willing to distance themselves from him.

One thing he's at least consistent on, is calling things "nasty" when they get to him personally.
