Just posting into the void because I don't have anywhere else
@Linux That was Amelia, who is long long gone. Julia (the current Sharkey maintainer) had nothing to do with that debacle. Your "wink wink" is complete misinformation.
@DoNotPunchDown You show me "attack".
He doesn't have to say the word "proud". It's implied by bringing it up in the first place. I think ex-soldiers should be ashamed of being one unless they're showing remorse.
And you look for excuses in their "circumstances" and yet you won't extend the same courtesy to me, who spent countless nights sheltering while sounds of literal bombs falling on the city around me.
@DoNotPunchDown No, I disagree that what I said was "sick" or "saying shit". I admit I was being annoying by replying to someone I don't know, but that's it.
My point is that using someone's status as an ex-soldier in an imperial war (or "veteran") does not give them authority to speak on a particular subject. In fact it undermines their point.
Imagine if someone said "I'm a proud Russian veteran who fought in Crimea and I think Putin is evil". My response would be the same.
@DoNotPunchDown Glorifying veterans is glorifying war.
@BrianJopek I'm someone who grew up in Iraq up until 2003, and witnessed multiple American invasions and I have this to say:
You are part of the problem. All of you helped American imperialism. You might feel these so-called "veterans" are being treated unfairly, but your victims have it much much worse.
The least you can do is try to dismantle imperialism from the inside. But you're not doing that, are you?
💡 I'll use `synchronized(atomicRef) { ... }`
I think I can ignore all of them and just use `updateAndGet()`. But at this point is this any better than `synchronized`?
Woah. What did they do to `AtomicReference` in Java 9?? So many new methods with complicated semantics. And what the heck is a `VarHandle`?
Should I use `synchronized` or try to be clever with `AtomicReference`?
