"Ru armed forces underperformed". Yes, I guess that was the only problematic thing Russia did worth mentioning in this whole story. /sarcasm-off

I love this op.
Low casualty, direct destruction of weapons of war, and major “russian warship go fuck yourself” vibes.

Ok that's very funny.

Ari's channel also appeared in my recommendations several weeks ago and I spent several hours already watching first his YT shorts, then even some full episodes. Very refreshing, and so much talent!

There were other reports pointing to that, see Geraschenko for example.

No one's desputing he was a legitimate a target. I only commented on the nature of a suicide bombing. I understand this was not even confirmed yet.

@moderation.bsky.app unnecessary flag here.

If it was a personal act of vengeance, it just seems more likely that it would be a Ukrainian. But it really doesn’t matter. It takes a very disturbed, depressed or misused psyche to willingly kill yourself just to kill someone else.

Zaur got what he deserved. If this indeed was a suicide bombing, I truly hope there will be an investigation in UA to clarify if this was a personal act of vengeance or if it was ordered. In the latter case, those who made the order should be arrested and punished for murdering a Ukrainian citizen.

2) Why do you even provide these quizzes if you're not interested in engaging in a friendly and motivational manner? Next time, just put up code and write "I know how to do this in 1 second. If you don't, you're dumb" and I'll know to steer clear! 😄

1) Despite your quite condescending replies you have not yet acknowledged that this script will provide the same result:
function combine () {
return {
param($x)
& $f ( & $g $x )
}
}
$f = { param($x) $x * 2 }
$g = { param($x) $x+3 }
$h = combine
& $h 4
Hint: It's a matter of scope.

I appreciate the exchange but you keep assuming I'm a novice. I have probably just as many years under the hood as you, if not more. 😉 I just manage developers now and don't get to code myself as much as I'd like to.

Yep. Just try to define the function as
function combine() {
return { param($x) & $f (& $g $x) }
}
You'll get the same result. Because what you're passing in the function parameters is never passed on to the return block.

The ($f, $g) params of the combine function are never actually used. You can just redefine the function without params and you'll get the same result (14).

It's not just a matter of technique, you either know what & means in PS or you don't. I didn't, now I do. And the unused parameters in the combine function were very distracting 😉

a command or like a function. So, & $f 2 means that $x will be 2, the return value will be 4.
3) Because of operator precedence, (& $g $x) is evaluated first, and the result is passed to & $f.
4) Lose the arguments of combine, then run it like this: & (combine) 4.

Ok, that was a doozy (for me, I'm rarely programming in PS). So many pitfalls.
1) The function combine returns a script block as a string, no var substitution is taking place. Meaning the parameters of the function are never used and are just a distraction.
2) With & a string can be called like

For anyone who missed it. This is beyond parody!

I'm quite confident you're informing accurately. Still, you did not find out about this first hand but you read or heard it somewhere else. So please add references for such claims.

If, however, we talk about the "who we are", there is little room for discussion. If someone identifies as MAGA, it will be hard to sway them no matter how good the argument is because their identity is at stake. /end
