Not sure what you mean by "never succeeding". I come from on of ports cities and shipyards built by Russian Empire in the south of present day Ukraine in the end of 18th century as a result of winning a war against Ottoman Empire.

What they want now exactly is a different question, the answer most likely being in one man's head only. A revenge for loss in the Cold War, reclaiming the civilisational roots of "pan-slavic" territories, getting water back to Crimea, or any of the other hundreds of possible explanations.

edit: not "Crimean war", but Russo-Turkish War (1787–1792)
Israel has been in many conventional wars with it's neighbors since the day it was founded. In recent times their nukes protect them, but historically it was more about every man and women being either active military or reserve, along with an economy that is able to pay for being the best military in the region.
> The only good outcome for the whole world is Putin and allies being ousted out of power and replaced by actual non-warmonger democrats.

I don't actually know anything about Russia or Europe or politics in general first hand. However, from listening to a few episodes of the Economist podcast, my impression has been that Putin is stuck. He can't quit because even though he might be above being punished for his crimes, his cronies who have amassed billions are not. These folks will do everything in their power to keep Putin in power or find someone who is better at diverting people's attention from the problems affecting the people in their regular lives. Chechnya, Crimea, Ukraine, ... all these are (in my understanding) in service of the government's attempt at consolidating power at home.

> Nobody wants nuclear war, maybe some kind of super-sanctions would be the only recourse for the west, cut them off everything, and I mean everything.

What is a super sanction? In my (uninformed) opinion, a sanction is a complete sealing of a nation backed by political will and military might, preferably consensus from all the neighbors of the nation. No person and no goods go into or out of the country. No funds get transferred into the country or out of the country. All communications get cut off.

Correct me if I am wrong but Europe (I am speaking geographically, so including Ukraine) relies a lot on Russian petroleum and gas? And even if we weaned ourselves off of everything Russian, there is a border between Russia and China PR (mainland China under control of the CCP). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93Russia_border

tl;dr a sanction not enforced by military might is not really a sanction, it is just a silly little non-binding resolution.

The Playgrounds app was released in 2016 and that game looks like it came 2017. I was on the beta of the first Playgrounds release and seem to recall that the gem game was there from the beginning or at least very early on. But my memory may be fuzzy.

Regardless, the mechanic of the game is one that has existed since the earliest programming tutorials.
Hi, I'm one of the authors of the post

Thanks for pointing us to CLMUL, I'm not familiar with these kind of multiplications, but, converting the quote bitmask to a quoted bitmask would certainly make it faster. With this new bitmask, we could negate it and AND it with the newline mask, generating a mask of newlines that are not inside quotes. Getting the last newline then would be a simple CLZ of that mask. And there wouldn't be a need to resort to byte to byte processing.

In our tests, going byte to byte for more iterations to keep the alignment when hitting the "else case" performed worse than making the unaligned loads, but as you say "just use CLMUL" (as all loads will be aligned) :D
Russia doesn’t give a fuck about Ukraine for as long as it’s not in Nato. Just like the US didn’t like Russian military presence on Cuba, they don’t want the US presence in Ukraine.

It’s all fundamentally dead simple. Russia views Ukraine as a buffer country between itself and the West and will do anything to keep it that way.
Crazy stuff. I never imagined Minecraft would be that popular.
I think the implication was that the Russian people should decide to oust Putin, rather than an external sovereign power doing it.

Great news, QEMU is really great. Will have to give this a spin on the MiSTer again. I was experimenting with emulating the 68K in qemu in combination with FPGA reimplementation of the Amiga chipset. I ran into performance issues with the way AmigaOS manages memory, where stack and code can be in the same page. Qemu seems very inefficient in that case since it constantly invalidates the translated code I think, I wonder if that aspect has been improved at all.

How would you theoretically back up and revoke that device? stolen, broken phone, compromised phone, etc
I still really like how it makes random passwords given a permitted character set. It uses tr -cd to read only matching character bytes - discarding any others - from the random device. If you instead try to be less wasteful in turning random bytes into characters from the chosen set, you are in a sticky situation very quickly where your passwords might be less random than they should be, whereas bytes from the random device are cheap, so just throw away all the ones that aren't suitable and get more. So simple and yet I'm sure it wouldn't have occurred to me.
That's a pretty cool project. I've wondered why such a thing never existed.

There is this thing called Google translate, it works surprisingly well for getting the gist of articles in languages that you can not read.

I think that final sentence is unduly pessimistic - after all, if practice did not play a big part in expert programmers becoming that way, what did? What hope is there for the novice who is frequently making off-by-one errors and the like?

Maybe you are saying that there is no deliberate method of practice, but I think there is: whenever you correct one of your mistakes, try to figure out how you might have written the correct code the first time. Often, it might be a boneheaded mistake, but a significant number of cases have something to learn from. Can you make an argument for the current version being correct, and the previous one not? If an API did not work the way you expected, did you overlook something in the documentation? (Maybe just that the documentation was ambiguous, and you might have realized that earlier.)

I think OP's point is that slow turnaround encourages that sort of thinking, and it does, though it is quite a cost to pay.

Ask HN: Why is metaverse land valuable?
I'm seeing people buying land in metaverse as they think that what they are buying would be a prime location which is not as anyone can go from one place to another in fraction of seconds as demonstrated by Zuckerberg himself ( in metaverse promotional video ) so why the people are buying into the idea that their virtual land will rise in value.

The only place I can think of with land with rising value is some sort of metaverse mall which would mostly be controlled by some sort of centralized entity.

Am I missing something ?

Also, including NFT and blockchain in metaverse is a tac-tik to say to the government that we are not a monopoly people own their stuff on blockchain and we have nothing to do with it or something in the same way ?

Right but that's not really what they're saying, they're talking about Umbrella Apps, https://elixirschool.com/en/lessons/advanced/umbrella_projec...

Which is a distinct feature made for breaking up the logic of your applications into smaller, domain bounded libraries. Umbrella apps are for the most part like regular libraries, just internal to the project which let's you do neat things like share config and deployment across them.

They don't require interacting with OTP functionality unless you make them that way and I think the OP was crossing some wires there.
> This is simply because chess.com pays streamers with the money they receive from premium users, whereas Lichess is free.

Not only that but they also hold tournaments (ie: PogChamps which was a great success IMO) and they also have tournament analyses (ie: 2021 World Championship). They even have good production value! (outside of covid related limitations).

That being said, I agree with your diss of chess.com and will mention that I only play on lichess.

I always say that if you're interested in the Metaverse, I have many acres of land in Second Life for sale, and as many Linden Dollars as you'd like.

This whole Metaverse thing reminds me of when IBM purchased 12 islands and opened a virtual office in Second Life. Of course, as was tradition at the time, someone inevitably showed up with a flying gentlemen's sausage. Eventually IBM decided the whole thing was too costly and abandoned the project.

The lesson here is that when IBM gets involved, that's probably the top.

It's not "modern work" but work-the-social-institution. Which is the primary definition of "work."

What they don't mean is productive activity. Every productive activity that takes place within the social institution of work also takes place outside of that social institution. For example, farming, building construction, cooking, cleaning, education -- all of these take place both inside and outside of work.

Russia is not in the EU because of fundamental geopolitical differences and diverging interests. Changing the Russian government does not change these aspects.

The same goes for China, for instance. It is naive to think that a democratic government in China would fundamentally change anything to the geopolitical situation or China's international policy and goals.

The government's leanings may influence the means by which a country pursues its geopolitical interests but do not change those interests. Just observe the US.

Russia has a military budget of 60bn, Germany and France spend 52bn each. Within the EU they are on home turf, with existing rail and road infrastructure. The EU isn't equipped to fight in Russia or to fight a nuclear war (even though France has nukes), but I don't see why the EU shouldn't be able to defend it's own territory in a conventional war.

No, you do not even need OTP functionality on the child project, that's my point. Not everything uses OTP.

Edit: We may be talking past each other, from Sasa Juric:

"It’s worth noting that poison is a simple OTP app that doesn’t start any process. Such applications are called library applications." Which is what I'm thinking of. He also says "Finally, it’s worth mentioning that any project you build will mix will generate an OTP app."

I was mainly talking about you don't have to use anything like GenServer or other OTP functionality with the split out app so they're more like the library application but that is still in fact an OTP application even if you're not using any of the downstream OTP features.

Is it really censorship, though? You insist on conveying the meaning of the word, which is what is offensive if anything. By omitting a couple of letters you've only saved us from its exact spelling.

For example, "fuck you" is offensive because it's rude, vulgar and expresses contempt, not because of how exactly "fuck" is spelled. "F-ck you" is still rude and vulgar because it conveys the exact same meaning. The only difference to the recipient of such a request is that it's slightly more annoying to read, an annoyance that is surely dwarfed by the offense taken to the rude and vulgar meaning, and its intent as an expression of contempt.

It's better described as the exact opposite, a sort of a censorship circumvention; you can omit or replace a few letters to get past dumb word filters or comply with poorly worded courtesy policies and still convey the meaning to humans. Where no such filters and policies are in place, it's pointless.

A scary thought is that we may be so conditioned by machines and machine-like policies that our means to circumvent them now occur to us naturally even in contexts where they don't make a difference.
> Are there any popular non-Rails uses for Ruby?

Hardly. And that bothers me as a Ruby (not rails) developer.

There was Chef, still is around, but Chef "lost" from Ansible and Terraform.

There are some commandline tools, but I slowly see them replaced by Go, Rust, node or Python versions. `github`, `heroku` etc.

And there are numerous small or tiny platforms, systems and toolkits that failed to get traction and live a (happy!) live with a tiny audience. Think about sinatra, sequent, gosu, (the ruby version of) cucumber, kiba-etl, etc.

But I'm pretty sure most of these tools, frameworks and platforms are there because or Rails. To cater people, shops and teams "that already know Ruby inside out" (because of Rails) and therefore choose their, say, ETL system in Ruby too.
Well, let's just hope that that will never be put to the test. As they say: Europe is the battlefield of the world, and Poland is the battlefield of Europe.

I am deeply concerned by the mind games you are playing here.

It is 100% 2 stories. Over and over again here you are saying "personal accountability" or similar. Which on paper is fine. If you really truly voluntarily want to do this... great!

But do you not understand while personal accountability fine... your marketing is calling out spouses and parents reviews! Nothing about either of those being there says personal accountability. if you truly actually believed in personal accountability you could only show reviews from them, not from others!

To clarify. If my spouse is the one that thinks that this app "saved my marriage" as your reviews really like to say. There is something... very very wrong. If I feel the need to review it because I felt like I needed help. That is fine! Do you see the difference?!?

OpenAI offering is bringing model quality and lantecy that you are not going to get elsewhere.

GPT-J is 6B, the biggest version of GPT-3 available with the API is 175B, those two models are nothing alike in term of quality. Even the 6B version of GPT-3 (curie) is better quality than GPT-J IIRC.

So if you need better quality than GPT-J there are basically no alternatives.

And even if 6B is enough for you, but you care about latency, OpenAI has the best inference runtime by far, and you are not going to replicate that on your cloud/bare-metal. Unless your scenario specifically benefits from your API and your other servives to be colocated.

Edit: I forgot about finetuning. OpenAI gives you the ability to finetune all of their variants. Maybe you already have the knowledge to finetune something like GPT-J yourself, but I would guess that most potential users of the API do not have it.
