Thank god windows does not copy apple stuff, also its usually apple that is stubborn it took ages for them to agree a mouse should have more then one button.
IIRC, hooking a two button mouse to an Apple (I can't say which or when) gave you right click/control click, when Apple was selling only one-button mice.
Also, the website for visual studio code seems to suggest that the copilot/LLM based suggestions are only present if you have the extension for it installed. (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/intellisense#_enh... ). If this is true, then (according to https://bobbyhadz.com/blog/uninstall-extensions-vscode ) you can either click "extensions" on the right side-bar or press Ctrl+Shift+X to open the extensions menu, type the name of the extension or select it from the installed extensions list, and then either click uninstall or disable depending on whether you want to to uninstall it or just disable it.
I don't have visual studio code installed, so I haven't tried these solutions, but I imagine that they will probably solve your problem. Hope this helps.
reusability is mainly done for cost instead of environment, but you need to launch a lot to re-cup the costs, and esa is not a commercial org like spacex.
I do think the ESA rockets use a more eco friendly fuel then others, that is probably more important then some metal on the seabed.
Yes let's keep up foreign relations where we pay for people to arm themselves against us (china). Or we pay for the defense of people who won't pay to defend themselves (EU).
> "we pay for people to arm themselves against us"
Sounds like you want a completely isolationist trade policy. How has that worked out for the US in the past? The only way to never pay another country to arm themselves against us or any other country is to never give them money, and unless we force them at gunpoint to give us what we want that is not going to happen.
> "we pay for the defense of people who won't pay to defend themselves"
The EU doesn't spend 0% on defense. Many of them are NATO members who are increasing their spending and who have demonstrated that they'll follow us into war after we are attacked (Afghanistan as an example). The US gets far more in soft power/geopolitical benefits out of our European allies and NATO members than we put in.
>> Sounds like you want a completely isolationist trade policy
> No. You made this up.
Okay - then square the circle for me. How do we buy things that China makes and be 100% sure none of that money goes to buying weapons to be used against us? Extend that to every business we deal with outside the US. The only way to get to the point where we're not know for sure that we no longer "pay for people to arm themselves against us" is to never trade with them.
Americans enjoy their current (highly subsidized) standard of living in large part because we produce a surplus of goods and services that we export to the rest of the world.
If a good chunk of the world turns against the US, such that they refuse to consume our goods and services, then Americans will not be able to continue to enjoy their current standard of living.
This is why "soft power" matters, and it's why would-be contenders such as China have invested as heavily as they have in building up their soft power in LatAm, Africa, and elsewhere.
So yes, enjoy your "hard power," but you'll probably be poor.
China is using soft power because they don't have hard power, especially not enough to compete with the US. But they are using profit from the soft power investments to fund their hard power ambitions.
As somebody whose work is closely involved with the US military, particularly INDOPACOM and SPACECOM, I can assure you you don't have the full picture.
China is plenty capable of competing with us in a high-intensity conflict, especially regionally, but also in space, and they can even hurt us in the home front, if we're being perfectly honest.
Sure, the US might ultimately "prevail" such a conflict, but it's not a conflict US war planners or anybody with a clear picture of the situation is in any hurry to jump into.
You should pray that such a war never comes to pass, because it won't be pretty for any side, and has the potential to be especially dicey for the US if domestic politics are as inflamed as they are today.
No this is wrong. Europe has nuclear power, weapons, and navies. And Europe has an obligation to spend on its own defense (which they have not fulfilled in some time).
Two countries in Europe have nuclear weapons (several have nuclear power though). Sweden for example had a nuclear weapons program that was shut down in the late 60s (guess which country strongly wanted us to shut it down).
I think most European countries cut down too much on the defence after the Cold War, but it seems we are about to fix that. But it’s not like the US gave away fighter jets and other weapon systems for free. Several European countries spent lots of money buying US planes and other stuff.
France and the UK have it despite the US not wanting it too.
Luckily!
> And Europe has an obligation to spend on its own defense
Yes, since the US wants to pivot to Asia. That's fairly recent on the timescale :)
> which they have not fulfilled in some time
Did you know the US, unlike the others, includes pensions as "military spending"? But yeah, now ... They will raise it to the required 2 % (which a lot already do)
IT IS what the majority of people voted for, so it very much IS a valid argument. If you don't like it, tough luck, but that's how democracy works. You can vote next time to change it.
This reduces democracy to free-for-all mob rule, which has been very well studied as a bad form of it. The government isn't supposed to wildly swing between extremes, and the guardrails against that are being taken down for the benefit of some rich old men trying to steal enough money for their underlings before they die.
That's EXACTLY the very definition of true democracy, the will of the majority. You can't change it now just because you're on the loosing side this time, when you were ok with it the status quo the previous elections.
Any alterations that overrule the will of the majority, makes it not a democracy anymore, and you don't want that since that opens a can of worms that can always be used to also override your decision next time.
Which is why the world is never going to view or deal with the US the same way they did before. The current administration and its actions represent the will of the American people; represents their world view, their desires.
The majority of people thought they were voting for cheaper groceries, not for undoing our entire system of alliances and global trade.
Also, the President is not a King, so just because people voted for him it doesn't mean opposition ceases to exist. Opposition and push-back to executive policy been a mainstay of US politics. It's been true of Democratic Presidents (e.g., federal courts blocking Biden's policies), and it remains true of the current President.
>The majority of people thought they were voting for cheaper groceries, not for undoing our entire system of alliances and global trade.
If you look at the approval rating for democrats and republicans, as reported by CNN this week, that disagrees with you. People who voted for Trump seem to be happy with what he's doing.
Regular reminder that the only time article 5 of NATO was invoked, it was USA asking others to help them in war they actually wanted.
And when unwanted war became possble in EU came USA ended up allying itself with Russia while trying to extort the victim country for minerals. It did helped initially, but it did not lasted and USA turned into a bully.
All the while threatening annexation of parts of EU and Canada.
Which is still not the same as open aliance USA is doing. And EU countries are members of NATO. And did followed commitment to the war USA wanted. It is USA who is threatening annexation of multiple countries now, it is USA who supports Putin and openly praises dictators.
Russia expansion is threatening Europe, not just Ukraine. You know it, I know it. And USA is about to help them.
Ukraine was stupid to give up nukes, they should never trust promises about help in case of attack. They should keep the atomic bombs, but it is too late for that.
Who is "we" in this, because it certainly isn't true of US national policy for many decades re Germany (e.g. NATO), or Japan for the last decade or so.
> There’s a reason we don’t want Germany and Japan arming themselves, see world history from 1933-1945 for why.
It's bizarre and frankly racist to think that that illustrates some immutable property of Germany and Japan rather than forces that can materialize in any country.
I live in Japan, and I can tell you that I'm worried about Japan. There are constant murmurings among politicians to repeal article 9 of the constitution, the one shackling it from war; you talk about racism but the xenophobia here is visceral and constant; and there's still bad feeling that is also noticeable regarding WWII and towards other Asians and their countries.
I've met some lovely, kind, and outward looking people in my time here, but I'd have to be as blind as a bat to miss the dark undertones running through society. If the Americans didn't have their bases here I think we'd be back to a pre end of WW2 Japan quite quickly.
I disagree, it’s not bizarre to think that Germany won’t try to take over the world again when they’ve already tried. Twice.
I don’t consider it to be at all likely to happen, but there’s a much better chance of Germany going to war against the world than there is for virtually every other country. Feel free to ignore history, I’m not going to.
Not surprising that it is faster if you first load the entire thing in memory, but why then use a DB?, and not have your app just keep the data in memory?
