    This is not true though. There have been numerous major attempts at rebellion from the Europeans and every time they had to be put in their place

    I am going to note that you assert that with the only proof being that Europe never could defy the US since WW2. In other words, Europe has been subservient to the US since WW2.

    Europe now depends on the US for security, energy and its consumer market

    astronaut-2 astronaut-1

    Not really sure how the graph is supposed to indicate any sort of drastic change in this regard. The share of exports to the PRC is 4/9 (44.(4)%) that of the share of exports to the US, which seems to not differ that much from the pre-COViD ratio of about 49%. This is also obviously much better than the situation in the 2000s (pre-crisis ratio in 2007 being 25%, for example).

    NATO Europe has been subservient to the US since the end of WW2.

    While curious, that's not at all what I'm looking for in this case. I am looking for an example of working code and commands to build an executable from it.

    Unfortunately, I am looking specifically for examples for Windows. I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

    You could probably find some examples for windows with nasm if you look around

    I have looked around, and I have not found any working examples of such. That is exactly why I'm asking.

  • I am trying to re-learn assembly. I have been trying to find a tutorial for assembling a program using NASM on Windows, on a CPU with the x86_64 architecture. I have been unable to make any of the provided examples work. I am asking to be provided: - A piece of code to assemble. The resulting program should output a message into the CLI. - CLI commands to make an object file and to do linkage of that into an executable file. This should preferably be done using NASM, on Windows, on x86_64 architecture, but I'm at my wit's end at this point, so I guess I will be fine with another assembler. I intend to analyze the example and to use this as a starting point in my process of getting back into assembly.

    But just like back then when they sold out the other communist countries theyre just letting the west give them enough rope to hang themselves with

    Claims like these - that the PRC was just playing some elaborate 10D chess and that this is all going just as planned - remain unsubstantiated. NATO is still the hegemonic power in the world that is capable of forcing the PRC to act in accordance with its wishes, such as by forcing the PRC to cut off Russia from its banks. It is not defeated yet, and all of the celebrations and assumptions that they have lost remain premature.

    Actually, one more thing.

    Just like how a lot of people mistook Biden’s tariffs on Chinese EVs and solar panels as indication of US wanting to protect its own industries and compete with China on green technology

    What is your basis for the claim that that was untrue, especially considering that NATO's engineers did seem to conclude that the PRC would have significantly hurt their manufacturers if not stopped in this manner? On what basis do you conclude that the tariffs do not help NATO's domestic manufacturers?

    If China ditches Russia their geopolitical understanding is of a lower level than a person with zero academic political credentials like myself. Do they not see the game being played? This is some real 🤡 ass shit

    I want to remind you of the Sino-Soviet split and the PRC allying with the US against the USSR, Vietnam, socialist Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the PRC is not at all above having a shitty foreign policy in this regard.

    I hope that you are wrong again regarding this stuff. Hopefully, the PRC will not be making the mistake of siding with NATO against its own allies again.

  • Having a bit of an obsession over it since a few days ago. This thread is a bit of an outlet for that. Also, I am curious if anybody would be willing to run it, or if anybody has run it.

    ...Or, more rigorously, non-correlation does not imply independence. As this little guy and everybody else knows, one of the most famous correlation coefficients out there is Pearson's correlation coefficient: cor(ξ, η) = (E[(ξ-E[ξ])(η-E[η])])/sqrt(D[ξ]D[η]), where E[x] is the mathematical expectation of random variable x, D[x] is the dispersion of random variable x, and sqrt(x) is the (prime) square root of x. As we all know, if cor(ξ, η) != 0, then ξ and η are not independent random variables. But recently, this little guy heard that it does not follow from cor(ξ, η) = 0 that ξ and η are independent. Obviously, he craves the light of knowledge and wants to hear some examples of non-independent random variables having a correlation coefficient of 0.

    Have been trying to set it up for hours now. Nothing works. - Latest version does not seem to have winutils support, and using it causes errors when using some important methods. (EDIT: this is likely wrong, and the winutils stuff that I have should probably be fine.) - Older versions require to be built with Maven. However, that just gives me a `PluginExecutionException`. I need to do this ASAP, preferably within the next 3 hours. I have nowhere else to ask for help, it seems, especially considering that ![reddit-logo](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hexbear.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F4aac8007-876f-4c7f-936d-b7eabf506ef4.png "emoji reddit-logo") suspended an account I set up specifically for asking questions after I edited a relevant post. Highly doubt that anybody will be able to help me. EDIT2: the issue has, thankfully, been resolved. I was using Python 3.12, and switched to 3.11.8. That made the problem go away.

    Trying to package a Python program that I wrote into a library. I am following every guide that I can find regarding the relevant tools. Nothing works, and it very much feels like there is nowhere to ask for help. I hate this. Not sure if I should have put this in c/doomer or c/technology.

    I did well at the interview. I produced not one but two different solutions to the test problem that was given to me, with time to spare. Today, I receive an e-mail where they say that they are afraid they can't provide me with 'conditions suitable for my level of knowledge and skills'. How in the world am I supposed to get re-employed if I get rejected from entry-level jobs because of my overcompetence, but don't have the job experience in the area where I can work long-term for the non-entry-level jobs? I love crapitalism. /s

    No, seriously, why do they? It's not like the construction workers don't get paid their wages if they aren't given such projects, and, unless you are buying the resources from overseas, the only cost for the construction materials for the state is wages/salaries of the workers who are involved in the relevant processes. Am I being swindled?

    Are there any distributions that offer benefits post-installation? I am aware of Arch (and some other relevant distributions) having access to the AUR, and would like to know if other distributions can offer anything other than a quicker set-up.

    Basically the title. Also, in case somebody could answer the question: is it possible to enable the Cube effect in a Virtualbox machine? I already have `kdeplasma-addons`, `qt6-quick3d` and `qt6-quick3dphysics` installed but I have no Cube effect option in window effects.

    Not sure if this is the right comm to ask in, but I have been hearing people praise GNOME lately, which contradicts my prior experience with GNOME in live environments a few years ago. I'd like to ask, what is the appeal of this DE compared to KDE?

    Working inside a VirtualBox virtual machine. Installed Arch Linux using the Archinstall method. Chose KDE as the DE and SDDM as the greeting screen. Managed to log in once, but after adding a language and rebooting, I didn't seem to be able to change the keyboard layout, making entering the correct password impossible. I have tried looking up how to switch the keyboard layout, but am coming up with nothing. What is the key combination to change the keyboard layout in SDDM? Setting up a different virtual machine now.

    Feels like potential employers simply ignore my portfolio, and it doesn't matter how skilled and/or knowledgeable I am. None of them even try testing my skills, even when I am obviously more than qualified for a relevant job vacancy, or on the occasion when I do get an in-person interview, which is not helped by my social impediments. I have always been significantly better than my immediate peers in the field where I am looking for a job currently, but while some of them did manage to get jobs, I am left with no commercial experience, and potential employers are obviously looking primarily for people who already have experience. I don't seem to be able to hold a job in any other field, currently, at least not in the long term. I love living under crapitalism and not being neurotypical enough to have a living. /s (P.S. I do apologise to people whose replies I have not attended yet, regarding idealism and whether or not Marxism is anti-idealist or not. I still intend to.)
