"Indonesia merdekanya kecepetan" itu yaudah lah ya. Momentumnya memang ke situ. Semua orang ingin merdeka. Konsekuensinya kita terima.
Yang tidak termaafkan itu adalah Konfrontasi Indonesia-Malaysia. Literally tidak aja gunanya dan tidak ada tujuannya, seperti MBG tapi jauh lebih ngawur lagi.
Efeknya sangat destruktif: Indonesia terisolasi di perdagangan dunia. Padahal, sebagai negara pasca-kolonial di Posisi Silang, kita masih sangat bergantung dengan ekspor barang dagang dan hubungan internasional yang baik.
Tidak ada ekspor --> tidak ada uang --> tidak ada beras dan tidak ada gaji untuk tentara.
Tidak berlebihan jika kita sebut bahwa Konfrontasi adalah bencana geopolitik terbesar di sejarah Indonesia.
Luka kebencian artifisial antara Indonesia dan Malaysia yang meaningless dan tidak perlu itu sampai hari ini belum sepenuhnya sembuh. Padahal, sudah puluhan tahun berlalu sejak Konfrontasi dilancarkan.
...Yah, ini tidak sepenuhnya benar. Ada sih, alasan di balik Konfrontasi. Saat itu Soekarno berusaha mempersatukan identitas Indonesia lewat cara Iblis, yaitu lewat kebencian, sebagaimana yang dulu dilakukan Hitler.
Indonesia yang majemuk hendak dipersatukan bukan lewat kebanggaan terhadap diri sendiri, melainkan kebencian terhadap pihak lain, terhadap "other" yaitu Malaysia.
Kebencian ini kemudian dilembagakan masif lewat aksi massa dan ormas terkomando melalui institusi-institusi seperti Front Nasional, yang diketuai Soekarno.
Mania kebencian artifisial ini menciptakan atmosfer Cancel Culture yang mencekam dan meneror. Barangsiapa menentang Soekarno dalam hal apapun, seperti Buya Hamka, segera dicancel dan difitnah sebagai antek Malaysia dan dibasmi.
Bahwa Malaysia punya hubungan kultural dengan wilayah-wilayah Indonesia yang terjalin sejak sebelum partisi kolonial tidak dipedulikan oleh Soekarno, yang tentara pusatnya baru saja menduduki dan membantai Sumatra dan Sulawesi dan merampok kebunnya. Kemudian output produksi kebunnya roboh, karena rampok yang mengelolanya bodoh dan korup.
Barangkali wajar saja Soekarno sama sekali tidak peduli, mengingat ia adalah boomer Jawa NPD dari Jawa yang tidak tahu dan tidak empati tentang hubungan kekerabatan dan kultural antara Sumatra, Kalimantan, dan Malaysia. Hubungan ini dikoyak begitu saja tanpa alasan jelas.
Bodoh sekali yang bilang "Soekarno bagus dalam politik luar negeri". Politik luar negeri Indonesia di masa Konfrontasi itu sangat jelek dan berakibat bencana dan penderitaan ekstrem langsung bagi rakyat, yang padahal bisa dihindari dan tidak perlu.
Setelah Soekarno digulingkan, alhamdulillah hubungan Asia Tenggara bisa berangsur-angsur dinormalisasi lagi, terutama dalam hal yang betulan berefek seperti perdagangan.
@muraqib_0 Explain according to which madzhab that it is wrong to allow women to pray like that? This is also common in some parts of China and Indonesia, both didn't try to appease the west.
This is why climate activists should promote anti-war efforts. Bombs and rockets are really bad for the environment. Once again, Greta Thunberg has been proven right for demanding an end to the genocide.
I donโt blame the engineer who wrote that piece of code as he is a good electrical engineer, and this came from his thesis project anyway. The (ancient) code is generally good for that time, but yeah, no abstraction makes it not flexible at all. Not all engineers are programmers.
Last year, I got a task to refactor an optimal generator scheduling code used by an oil company. It turned out that the linear constraint matrix was manually written, meaning that you had to rewrite the matrix every time you needed to add a new generator or line.
Story time about the worst code I've ever seen. I am going to tell you about it, and I honest-to-God would not blame you if you thought I was making it up.
I started a new job. One of the first things they wanted me to look at was why it took several minutes for a single grid to load on an Angular page. This was original AngularJS, by the way.
When I tried to load the JavaScript code behind, every here and there it would crash Visual Studio. You had to be very careful that you didn't have anything else opened because the file was so large it ate up all the memory.
The horizontal scroll bar was as thin as it could be, and you had to be careful trying to drag to the right because it, too, could crash Visual Studio.
The page had a grid on it, and instead of data binding like you normally would do with Angular, they had written if-then statements for every permutation of every column order and visibility that there could be.
When they added a new column, they had to go in and code every possible combination of visibility and order in conjunction with every other possibility that could have ever happened.
It got worse. Much, much worse.
Again, ignoring the data binding that is built into Angular, in order to detect when a user clicked on a cell, they would take the xy coordinates of the mouse click and then calculate which column and row was probably clicked on so they could edit it.
They literally had to keep track of where you scrolled to in order to try to figure out which column was under the mouse when you clicked. It was not always correct, and by not always I mean generally got it wrong.
Once they calculated which cell you probably were clicking, they then had to do a lookup on the root data to see which field it pointed to. It would then send that data back to the server and cause the screen to refresh, taking another 2-3 minutes to load.
Did I mention the calculation of which field was clicked was often wrong? And that it would send the wrong data to be updated?
Oh, and they had assigned console to null because there were so many errors that it would cause the browser to stop responding. Which I only found out as I was trying to troubleshoot and add logging.
To this day, I do not understand how anyone ever could have written something so poorly performing and put it in front of somebody and say, "I'm done."
And yes, it was offshore.
@PablodeFelpa@zhao_dashuai@grok Agreed, but the conflicts were around the 18th century and 2019 acknowledgement is pretty recent too. Hopefully Israel will acknowledge Palestinians as the indigenous people is Palestine. Acknowledgement could have a huge impact on peace and respect.
@PablodeFelpa@zhao_dashuai@grok explains about Japanese indigenous people, Ainu. Also, explain clearly whether they are displaced, colonized, or any explanation on how they became like now, especially on what the ancestors of the current majority of Japanese people were doing in ancient times.
@PablodeFelpa@zhao_dashuai Try searching about Japanese indigenous (and displaced) people, Ainu. It even became one of the plots in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga.
