Found out yesterday that Syria still recognizes places like Abkhazia. Just not under Russia's umbrella. > And since Moscow had by then almost completely lost its former leverage over Damascus, the visit was arranged solely between Syria and Abkhazia. geabconflict.net/blog/why-doe...

Syria still recognizes Abkhazia. Why?

Why does Syria still recognise Abkhazia’s independence after the change of power? Opinion.

@richardgarriott.bsky.social Something I used to do in Serpent Isle in the 90s. These maps make the perfect bricks for building a house. Build one outside Monitor, run in and swat a guard for fun then run outside, quickly wall up the house with maps and go to sleep as he rages outside 😆

@anderspucknielsen.dk I'm curious, have any countries explored this idea at all? 1. European country signs deal to expand into Ukraine + build a factory 2. Gets Skyranger(s) to ensure that it does not get hit (company owns it but Ukrainians operate) 3. Space up to 4 km around the area now protected

This part of the year in Seoul is pretty fun as the day length is now shrinking at a more rapid rate and you can just start to see the bottom begin to fall out of the hideously hot summer. Just a beginning of a beginning but it's still visible.

🍜 Procedural macros in #rustlang Pretty sure you have all used #[derive] macros for Debug, Clone, Serialise, etc. But did you know you can write your own? Why would that be useful? While procedural macros can be a bit intimidating at first, they are super powerful. Let's make them simpler 🧵👇

Sure. Largely varies based on on the organization, but Kubernetes and Pulumi’s Automation API with Go. Replacing FaaS with WebAssembly, and managed databases with SurrealDB. Kafka out for Redpanda. I’ve replaced critical infrastructure and complex MLOps (primarily using Apache projects).

I've been fascinated by #SurrealDB since the early days, join-less SQL felt like science fiction. Back then, a division by zero could crash the whole thing. Fast-forward to now: rock-solid, powerful, and full of potential. #DatabaseDesign #DevTools

When #TheWheelofTime tv series started on #PrimeVideo I wasn’t a fan, the pacing was too fast and left little room to highlight the bonds. However now we’re in season 3 the series has improved greatly as it tells pivotal moments of the story. Don’t miss out! #WoT #RobertJordan #fantasy
