If you want to develop highly performant code, do yourself a huge favor and watch this video, It dispels a lot of the hype about modern coding patterns and demonstrates how expensive the most common modern coding patterns are. youtube.com/watch?v=tD5Nre…

@DreamsOfLuna234 @Funfun_za @ErnstRoets I bring up education because it is the foundation for building a successful and thriving economy. Without a properly educated workforce a nation will not be able to thrive. Everything else is dependent on this.

@RealRobinGrant @Funfun_za @ErnstRoets No, who told you redress was limited to education? Remedial policies apply across the entire economy and society: education, employment, business ownership, and land and housing.

What is the definition of "total liberation of black people"?

@DreamsOfLuna234 @Funfun_za @ErnstRoets Under the ANC rule we have had the most expensive education system in the world for the last 30 years. That was supposed to be the remedy for this, but instead the opportunity was squandered, and now you are trying to blame us for this mess.

@RealRobinGrant @Funfun_za @ErnstRoets Black people want the opportunity to be up to their ears in debt and to earn regular paychecks in the first place. How else is the South African government supposed to remedy the legacy of apartheid, as enshrined in the Constitution, if not through remedial policies?

Abraham is described as the "father of many nations" (Genesis 17:4–5), with his physical descendants including: The Israelites/Jews (through Isaac → Jacob). Many Arab peoples (traditionally through Ishmael). Various other tribes/groups (through Keturah's sons, such as Midianites). Based on this alone, claiming Israel only for the Jews is a hersey.

🚨Why I Am A Christian Zionist 🔥🚨 I'm a Christian. And unapologetically, I'm a Zionist. Not because of politics or headlines—but because the Bible I read cover-to-cover demands it. God made an **everlasting covenant** with Abraham: "To your offspring I will give this land... forever." (Genesis 12:7, 13:15, 17:8) He didn't say "temporarily." He didn't say "until the Church shows up." He said **FOREVER**. Then He doubles down: "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse." (Genesis 12:3) That's not optional. That's a divine command for how we treat the Jewish people today. Fast-forward: After 2,000 years of exile, persecution, and the Holocaust... the Jewish people returned home. Israel reborn in 1948. Coincidence? No. Prophecy fulfilled. "I will bring them back to this land... never again to be uprooted." (Amos 9:15) "The dry bones shall live!" (Ezekiel 37) We're watching the Bible come alive in real time. Paul warns us in Romans 11: Don't be arrogant toward the natural branches (the Jews). God hasn't rejected His people. He's grafting them back in—and we're called to stand with them. Supporting Israel isn't about blind loyalty to a government. It's about faithfulness to God's unbreakable promises. In a world quick to curse and boycott the only Jewish state... I choose to **bless**. Because my Bible says to. Because history proves it: Nations that bless Israel thrive. Those that curse? Not so much. Because one day, the King of the Jews will return to Jerusalem—and I want to be on the right side of that. Call me old-fashioned. Call me biblical. But yes—I am a Zionist. Proudly. Who's with me? Drop a 🇮🇱 if you stand with God's promises! #WhyIAmAZionist #ChristianZionism #BibleTruth #StandWithIsrael #GodsCovenant #EverlastingPromise

To be fair, it's a very, very, small white minority - like a handful of people. Most white people in South Africa are up to their ears in debt and live paycheck to paycheck - but we still have to bear the brunt of all of the bad will online. As for economic apartheid, only white people in South Africa literally face economic Apartheid with BEEE.

@RealRobinGrant @Funfun_za @ErnstRoets I imagine it’s freedom beyond just glory. As long as wealth remains concentrated in the hands of a white minority, Black South Africans remain subjected to a form of economic apartheid. Most people know this, it’s just there’s a tendency to play dumb and resist it.

Poverty is not just indicative of a lack of opportunity, despite what leftists would have you believe. Imagine entire nations and continents full of this man, and you begin to understand the third world.

Is there a tax I can pay to stop it or does that only work for heating?

@Funfun_za @ErnstRoets What is economic freedom ?

@ErnstRoets It means Economic freedom.

@marklevinshow Has the USA declared war on anybody this century?

Hey Tucker. Did you text the enemy, Iranian regime, in the lead up to this war and/or during the war or not?  Did Kent ever text you confidential or classified information?  Two simple questions. You put out that video the other day and then went silent about it. You clearly have been conspiring with Kent and are now promoting him. Very simple questions. As for Kent, like Carlson, there’s something very off with this guy.  And he’s only doing interviews with the cabal of American-hating neo-fascists. The traitors. Why is that?

@RealAlexJones Another wolf in sheep's clothing

I present to you the creature the CIA literally installed in Virginia to destroy the state. She takes fakeness to the level of perfection. She is the female version of Gavin Newsom and she wants to take everything you have….

@Geniustechw A nun can stop being a nun any time she wants. That is the difference.

“What’s the difference between me wearing this and what a nun wears?” Thoughts?

@squatsons Joe Kent was hit by a full on assault by the Zionist lobby on social media when he resigned. Going onto podcasts was the only way to counter this attack.

I’m highly suspicious of Joe Kent, his resignation distancing himself from the war and then going on a podcast press tour is just odd to me. Maybe he’s attempting to exonerate himself but it doesn’t sit right with me. I hope he saying and doing what he is for the right reasons but he was one of crew last week, we’ve been making these mistakes and he’s known what he has for a while.

@ianmiles What's happening is Europe is a direct result of thinking of people as human resources. The EU HR department has sold out thousands of years of European culture and heritage for short term cheap labor. HR is a scourge upon humanity.

Elon Musk predicts that there will be a large-scale massacre in Europe. "One can clearly see a massive increase in attacks. The established media downplays these attacks. But the attacks, the terrorism, the killing of innocent people is increasing."

@Elites_R_Evil @ianmiles The difference being, that Vlad was a ruler and could order armies - and now the idiot EU ruling class have sold out their countries, and thousands of years of heritage, for short term cheap labor .

@davepl1968 Microsoft really need to get their act together. I searched for a Microsoft product on Bing the other day - and had to go to page 2 to find it.

Microsoft is apparently finally admitting that what many users have wanted all along is a faster, quieter, more dependable operating system. Not more Copilot. In a new Windows Insider post, Microsoft’s Pavan Davuluri laid out a broad quality push for Windows 11 centered on performance, reliability, and what the company calls “craft.” More likely, it's what Steve Jobs called "taste", if you remember THAT interview... And honestly, a lot of it reads like Microsoft finally sat down, opened Feedback Hub, and decided to take the complaints seriously. The headline changes are exactly the kind of practical fixes power users have been asking for: taskbar repositioning to the top or sides of the screen, fewer forced update interruptions, more control over when updates install, faster File Explorer, lower baseline memory usage, better search responsiveness, fewer notifications, and more reliable drivers and wake behavior. Microsoft also says it is reducing “unnecessary Copilot entry points,” starting with apps like Snipping Tool, Photos, Widgets, and Notepad. The Windows Update story is interesting.... Microsoft says it wants updates to be less disruptive, with a move toward a single monthly reboot, the ability to restart or shut down without being forced to install u-pdates, and the option to pause updates for as long as needed. That is a major philosophical shift from the old “we know what’s best, enjoy your reboot” era, even if the real test will be how consistently Microsoft follows through in shipping builds. Performance also seems to be getting real attention instead of marketing lip service. Microsoft says Windows 11 will reduce its own resource usage, improve memory efficiency, make File Explorer quicker and more dependable, and lower latency by moving more core experiences to WinUI 3. The company specifically calls out Start menu responsiveness, search consistency, faster file operations, and a smoother overall feel under load. That is the sort of engineering work users notice every single day, even if it doesn’t make for a shiny keynote demo. My personal benchmark is to be able to type 'Download" into the Start menu and have it find my Downloads folder. Not a Bing search for a Copilot download. The Copilot pullback is equally interesting because it suggests Microsoft has realized there is a difference between useful AI and AI sprayed across every available surface. The company is not abandoning Copilot, but it is dialing back what it describes as unnecessary integration points. That sounds a lot less like “AI everywhere” and a lot more like “maybe Notepad didn’t need to become a sentient billboard.” The most encouraging part of all this is the tone. Microsoft is not pitching this as a revolution. It is pitching it as a cleanup, stabilization, and giving users more control. And that may be exactly what Windows 11 needs. After years of feeling like the operating system was being used to push services, experiments, and mandatory behavior, this looks like a return to a simpler idea: Windows should serve the user, not manage them. I, for one, still advocate for Windows Pro having NO advertisements, bloatware, or needless telemetry. Make people pay, then quit asking for more. But I've been barking up THAT tree for years. Now the obvious catch: these are commitments and previews, not a completed turnaround. Microsoft has promised a lot here, but Windows users have long memories. This is probably still the best Windows news in a while, because it focuses on the fundamentals: Faster. More reliable. Less noisy. More customizable. Less pushy.

@HMKnapp @ynotkillmyself @FischerKing64 I get the logic. Its the same thought process rationalizes the value proposition of buying a Rolls Royce. They are so well built that you will most likely only need one car for your entire lifetime if you buy one. It makes perfect sense when you think about it.

@RealRobinGrant @ynotkillmyself @FischerKing64 I agree and thought of that argument before posting. For some people the software may be worth the price. However the software is the same for all models. Now you’re left with comparing hardware to price which is where the top of the line excels: unbeatable even for the Chinese.

Apple selling cheap laptops means it’s giving up on being an aspirational brand. Means it’s run out of ideas - which has been obvious for a while with the goggles and the thicker phones and iPads. It’s like if Mercedes entered the compact truck market.

@HMKnapp @ynotkillmyself @FischerKing64 Sure, but this is an entirely different market segment, and for people on a budget who want to be in the Apple ecosystem this is the answer

@ynotkillmyself @RealRobinGrant @FischerKing64 On the contrary. Their iPhone Pro Max line has the best value proposition. Its price is closest to what the competition from China that plays in the same league charges. For the price of budget iPhones you can get much better for much less elsewhere.

It's infinite psyop season. The main targets are those who are unhappy with the current system, would-be dissidents. The goal is to distract them so they don't do anything real about it and divert them into a new, more convenient corral. Stay vigilant and maybe don't immediately trust the "ex"-cia people suddenly popping up telling you what you want to hear.

@cturnbull1968 Newsflash - you need an ID to apply for a passport.

If every American voter, without a passport, decided to get a passport, as their primary form of ID, it would take 5 years to fill the requests. But Republicans want this to be in effect before the midterms. They know this, of course, so it’s obvious voter suppression.

@elliehodges62 St Paul's will be a mosque within 20 years if Britain doesn't course correct right now.

Be optimistic. Britain is not finished. While we should acknowledge the failures, let’s also celebrate how great this country is.

@thepatriottea @Milajoy On some important issues like the SAVE act he has to tow the party line. He also knows the Democrats are fucked without mail in ballots - which is where he draws the line.

@Milajoy He didn’t even vote for the Save Act!

Dems are 100% going to primary Fetterman. Fact. If he wants to keep his seat, he’ll have to ditch the party and go Republican. GOP would embrace him—he’s genuinely independent in a sea of partisans. One in a million.
