Looks great aesthetically and props for the author for both the theme and its homepage!

What I look for in a theme is:

    1. Being easy on the eyes.
    2. Easy distinction between different keywords etc.
    3. Good contrast.
Unfortunately, the light version of this theme succeeded in only 1. for me (I tried it in JetBrains IDEs). The background color is great, though.

The best light theme I've seen so far is Selenized for VSCodium [1] and for VS Code [2]. There's a Selenized light for JetBrains IDEs too. [3]

Congrats on the 1.0 release to the team!

I tried Zed once, but unfortunately had to give up because of:

    - constant CPU usage when idle,
    - blurry fonts,
    - low-contrast light themes.

Yes, that was awful. Not to mention pushing Poland into Eastern Bloc and then putting embargoes on it.

It was definitely Soviets/Stalin that started conquering and this was a western reaction to it. The Yalta conference was an attempt to appease Stalin and give Russia the conquests it wanted (it's not like they appeased someone else 10 years before leading to the incredible disaster, arguably the biggest disaster in human history, or anything like that. But not giving up Eastern Europe would have likely meant war with the Soviets right then and there)

It was a choice between giving up a lot, not just Poland, and continued war. Must have sucked pretty damn badly if you were one of the things given up to Stalin, but ...


We can only guess if it would mean war or not, but it looks like Churchill assumed it would, given he tried to campaign for taking Poland from USSR by force. I know that not only Poland was sold.

It was a horrible betrayal in both how it was done and in its outcomes. Embargoing those countries by the West, which the same West has sold to Stalin in the first place, was just a cherry on top.


There was a version which considered leaving 15%-20% of the Polish population to be slaves, but "In 1941, the German leadership decided to destroy the Polish nation completely, and in 15–20 years the Polish state under German occupation was to be fully cleared of any ethnic Poles and settled by German colonists.[16]: 32 A majority of them, now deprived of their leaders and most of their intelligentsia (through mass murder, destruction of culture, banning education above the absolutely basic level, and kidnapping of children for Germanization), would have to be deported to regions in the East and scattered over as wide an area of Western Siberia as possible. According to the plan, this would result in their assimilation by the local populations, which would cause the Poles to vanish as a nation.[46]"

And the parent comment has been flagged to death until now. What for?

Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego [1] indeed makes an exceptional work of walking people through the dramatic story of the Warsaw Uprising.

> though Polish people are anti-Chinese for religious and communism (maybe also religious) reasons

Where did you get that from?


A story of Witold Pilecki [1] would be more than enough.

Q.E.D. :)

[flagged]


Nowhere in my comment have I cheered "the downfall of the west" or whatever. Don't put words in my mouth.

I was and am strictly addressing your defence of being arrogant.


This is the reason I buy printed books on Amazon and almost nothing else.


It was mostly buying votes with money from ETS instead of spending those money in whole on energy transformation as intended.
