@RegalBeagle @InvictusManeo @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild I hear you. I watch with no satisfaction as the DEI dynamic plays out in the Gulf, the Red Sea, across occupied Palestine and the Levant, also among the NATO sponsors of country 404, the "country" formerly known as Ukraine, and in the South China Sea. Nature always wins, I guess.
@InvictusManeo @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild The more useless diversity hires in the GAE, the better. I want the boog to be on easy difficulty; I'm getting too old for this shit.
@coolboymew I'm just glad I don't have to cobble together an Arch box to game in Linux anymore.

We literally went from

to
>Wow, Proton actually works, Valve fixed Doom 2016 to working in a few weeks. You may have to fuck around and check ProtonDB to make things work, but hey, stuff works now
to now
>I don't even look at ProtonDB anymore, things just work now pretty much all the time
Within the span of like 6-7 years

@InvictusManeo @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild All good points, but I think the lack of qualified talent being trained in schools is the most critical part. Ukraine punches above its weight by adapting technology to make up for their lack of resources. I don't think US has the human capital of caliber to do the same. Competent DoD contractors were effectively purged once the clot shot mandates came down back in 2021. Anyone who could get out/retire did.
@Wopu Thanks for the clarification
@Wopu I'm not seeing anyone talk about it in my usual spheres. Houthis have been including video footage of most of their declared attacks now after media tried to lie and say they didn't sink that bulk carrier a few months back, so it's suspicious they wouldn't do that this time.
@PNS So now when I tell assholes to eat shit it's actual medical advice? Good to know!
@vic @7666 @Nimbius666 Until C suite sees the value of testing and documentation, I don't think things will change and code monkeys like me can't properly explain its importance to them. Sure you're faster in the short-term cranking out code, but any salty dev will tell you maintenance of shitty code is what becomes your biggest cost.
@Nimbius666 @7666 I can't wait to leave IT and be a farmer.
@CatLord @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS The original figures are way back in a blogpost here: https://simplicius76.substack.com/
I probably made a mistake as looking around, the figure was likely hypersonics in general, not specifically Kinzhals. This report puts Tomahawk production ~2.2k/y, but this fluctuates and is old: https://www.navair.navy.mil/node/13136 (assuming Raytheon meets contract deliverables...)
Russia has over a dozen hypersonic systems deployed today while the US none.
@7666 @Nimbius666 Certainly easier to tell that to management vs actually creating a testing suite.
@InvictusManeo @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild The US wanted to ensure EU and RF never normalize relations to preserve US hegemony. Due to sheer fucking hubris, they instead made RF and China buddies, drove OPEC into BRICS+, de-industrialized the EU, de-militarized NATO, and now have to also deal with a jewish doomsday cult that controls nuclear weapons. I don't think GAE could have fucked it harder if they tried.
@professionalbigot69 But they're covered in shit and no one wants them.
@Nimbius666 I think a robust test suite helps with this. I think a well designed test explains code better than comments ever will and also gives immediate feedback on how changes affect function, which is invaluable for new team members onboarding.
@caekislove @nugger @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @Spingebill There's a non-zero chance this is actually true.
@caekislove @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS Lol, u funneh
@CatLord @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS I find it more helpful to look at the larger picture. The biggest takeaway is the maneuver warfare is out and attrition warfare is back. RF can outproduce US/NATO in artillery shells, missiles, tanks, and drones. The number of Kinzhal hypersonics RF has launched is greater than the number of US Tomahawks that have ever been made since the 70s. The US doesn't even have a hypersonic prototype. US/NATO runs out of ammo vs a peer adversary in a few weeks.
