This would be fucking HILARIOUS if it wasn't so tragic.

Manifest destiny for me, border enforcement for thee.

It can be both

Multiple cursors were the killer feature that got me to start using Sublime Text back in ~2010. Still an absolute staple of my text editing toolbox. Ctrl-D Ctrl-D Ctrl-D ...

With the open world™ minimap and objective markers on the corner of the screen? I suspect not :)

This is already the case since parliamentary minutes are typically on the web as well. Unfortunately of course, this only includes the "official" discussions, not those taking part in corridors, offices, or lobbies... :)

Verrsioning+search is like feature zero of any law software. In many countries (such as next door Portugal) it's even part of the standard public website provided by the state. Not to diminish your effort but yeah, people have thought of that before x)

Rust has assert and debug_assert, which are self-explanatory. But it also has an assert_unchecked, which is what other languages incl C++ call an "assume" (meaning "this condition not holding is undefined behaviour"), with the added bonus that debug builds assert that the condition is true.

Notably, like most things with "unchecked" in their name `core::hint::assert_unchecked` is unsafe, however it's also constant, that is, we can do this at compile time, it's just promising that this condition will turn out to be true and so you should use it only as an optimisation.

Necessarily, in any language, you should not optimise until you have measured a performance problem. Do not write this because "I think it's faster". Either you measured, and you know it's crucial to your desired performance, or you didn't measure and you are wasting everybody's time. If you just scatter such hints in your code because "I think it's faster" and you're wrong about it being true the program has UB, if you're wrong about it being faster the program may be slower or just harder to maintain.

Evil is commiting atrocious acts for self-interest. This is a description of US foreign policy (not exclusively, of course). Killing 150 schoolchildren is unfortunately but a fraction of a drop in the bucket of atrocities committed by either the US or Israel.

Good intents? Please.

Genuinely cannot tell whether this is satire.

The European """Parliament""" can only reject laws, but not propose new ones.

You don't vote for Prime Minister. Either Parliament votes for a Prime Minister or your country messed up the translation of President.

You don't de jure vote for a Prime Minister but you de facto do so. Please, don't pretend to be obtuse.

I pay just as much attention to the prime ministerial candidate as the Commission presidential candidate. Both are blatantly obvious per party.

If what you really mean is that you don't follow EU level politics, just say so.
