I'm Latin American, I grew up in this, it's part of my culture, that's why I know where all this is going (about musical genres). I'm not an "outsider".

Your comment sounds a bit racist ngl

You have no idea what you're talking about, right?

Any music of any genre other than reggaeton and trap. Their "hit songs" rarely manage to survive more than 5 years in the collective thought of the masses, then they become "background noise" in nightclubs, supermarkets, squares and other meeting places, overshadowed by the disposable "hit of the moment".

The same thing happens with webkit.

Very few people decided to stay, but practically more than 95% left the city.

By simple logic it is not feasible to have a POSITION in a place that is soon under water (the threat of blowing up the dam is real if the liberation forces are still there). Kherson/Kherson is the city, not the oblast. It's one thing to regroup (fix to secure more advantageous positions) and another to retreat (surrender leaving critical positions and outposts).

What I see here is a huge booby trap; a Pyrrhic victory (reconquer the CITY) having already decimated Ukrainian forces, without human (civilian) shields, the adequate distance from your artillery (the local soldiers left but the other rear positions are intact) without the restriction of containing yourself to avoid civilian casualties and the enormous problem of trying to advance across the Dnieper (the bridges are just bait). In fact, it is attached to the strategy described by a Cuban commander who follows and is studying the events of this conflict; weaken the ukronazi positions, not even destroy them in their entirety, just affect them in such a way that they cannot maintain the positions in the rest of the black sea river (with the icing on the cake called Odessa).

The media even plays for Russia indirectly (they can't beat the Dombass and now they think they're going for Crimea lol). Since most of the decisions that are being made on the Ukrainian/NATO side are based more on media consensus than military consensus.

As I understand, your needs are more related to an absence of fundamental knowledge, than an a problem of learn X language/technology.

I strongly recommend you this book:

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP). One of the best books of computer science ever written. This book gives you a solid foundation about computer science in its most primitive concepts, for example, what is a program? what do we mean when we say that we build programs? what are variables and how values are associated to them? their life time, what are functions and what are they made of (procedures)? scalar values, values of (composite) values, why are data control structures built that way? macros, how data is represented, how the interpreter/compiler understands it, etc. etc. etc. In short, SICP is to computer science what Euclid's elements are to mathematics.

All this relying on a language known as Lisp (specifically Scheme and its variant Racket). It is not necessary that after the book you continue using it, be careful, it is quite addictive ;) It is included because as it is one of the languages with a very simple syntax and structure, it helps you not to abstract so much from what is really important: dealing with the problems, not with the language.

It is a somewhat technical book, since it is academic, but it was created just for introductory courses (in 80's and 90's at MIT), not only for computer science, but also for other engineering and related careers. It includes many exercises that increase in difficulty as you advance between chapters, being at the beginning somewhat tedious because of the use of some mathematics.

Some tips

After reading the book you can move on to algorithm and data structure books.

plus: learn databases (SQL/No-SQL)

I do not recommend any of these languages to take as beginner:

  • C++/C#/Java: they have too many abstractions that can lead to confusions/misunderstandings that at a beginner level are unnecessary, like OOP. These concepts you can learn later with practice, and according to the type of project you need to run.
  • Rust is too advanced and can lead to headaches as it's not very intuitive for a beginner.
  • JS is such a poorly designed language that it leads to many bad programming practices and misconceptions when approached without prior knowledge. Just take a look at scoping and closures to get an idea of what I mean.

I recommend:

  • C
  • Python (very useful for algorithms and data structure)
  • Scheme/Lisp

the ordinary user will only notice it when his adblocker stops working.

Firefox maintains the largest extension market that’s not based on Chrome, and the company has said it will adopt Mv3 in the interest of cross-browser compatibility.

We all know, and more the Mozilla people, that this cross-browser compatibility is false, the big G is forcing them to use their technology unilaterally. Mozilla is one step away from switching to blink engine, but they has no more options, with the huge losses generated by many bad decisions made, especially during the disastrous management of Brendan Eich. Google became their only oxygen tank (keeping Mozilla afloat enough to avoid antitrust laws and disintegrate the conglomerate).

Officials point to Twitter’s treatment of posts from the separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu, head of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group. Based in the U.K., Kanu uses Facebook, Twitter, and internet radio streaming to broadcast his separatist messages to Nigerians in the country’s Southeast region. The Nigerian government has complained that IPOB’s “hate messages” have been flagged consistently, but Twitter has said the tweets do not violate Twitter rules.

I think that promoting the separation of entire countries, specially those how are uncomfortable for western countries, are approve for these "social networks" (Think Tanks). The Nigerian government has a lot of contradictions, specially with the Muslim communities, but IPOB, included Boko Haram (With its active propaganda machine in Twitter/Facebook/Youtube of Africa) plan to create Modern Apartheid states worst than IsraHell. In this sense I agree with the Nigerian government to create a sovereign internet.
