All it does is create incentives for people to go back and create meaningless NGOs whose only purpose is to siphon grants and hold press conferences.

My tipping point was not being able to figure out how to shut down the computer in Windows 8 (not 8.1). I've used Alt+F4 to shut it down for months because I legit couldn't figure out that the shut down button is in Charms.

They've moved it back to start in 8.1, but by that point I've already switched to elementary OS (beta of 0.2 Luna), and that's (mostly) where I've stayed for the past 10 years (there were a couple of attempts of switching to GNOME, they've all failed).

I don't see how this new war is in Putin's interests.

Clearly it won't be in his interest. But if the West does not provide him with some major concessions -- will he do it anyway? To protect his image, or whatever?

That seems to be the key question here.
It was very highly ranked, you are correct.
I've been using dual screens on Linux since 2009 and for the last 2 years triple screens.

My current PC is using and nVidia 1660 GPU to drive this.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04. It wasn't out-of-the-box easy to install, but running installer in safe-mode worked and regular boots are as normal.

Even on laptops dual screens work provided the laptop supports it.
For you. On your hardware and your distro. I've seen and heard stuff going south from word go.
Thank you. I seriously didn’t know the meme and had a good read during my lunch break
> estimating how much you'll use, don't want to set a number too low and get cut off plus cloud cost structures can be really hard to get your head around

Easy way of avoiding this: Don't use shitty hosts that make you pay per GB served and shut you down once you hit your cost limit. Instead get limited by the available bandwidth you have, and clients will just access your server slower rather than being fully denied access.
I too have used Fastmail for over a year now, but I do wish they would add a few much needed features.
> Why is the U.S. sending troops to Europe at all?

Because of a thing called NATO, look it up

They do and they're free to associate with defensive purposes, as opposed to what Russia wants them to think.

> As far as I am concerned, I just don't understand why people use cloud services.

I use the credit card of my employer. For my own projects I use my own server for everything. Granted, it doesn't get much traffic.

Some offers from cloud providers are pretty good. If you want to scale to more (virtual) machines, it can be more easily done with the usual providers. I also expect Amazon to know more about firewall and reverse proxy configuration, it renews my certificates automatically and has rudimentary services for monitoring of server state. There is a certain convenience to it.

Would I recommend cloud based hosting? Absolutely not. You become dependent on the provider and prices are often steep. Even if you do not know much about server security, your unsecured s3 bucket will be far more exposed than your standard db installation on your own server. Better build expertise for systems you have full control over than to invest the time on the details of AWS which are more subjected to change.
Board game need a lot of investment. Simple one like GO (which needs hours to play decades to perfect etc) is “easier” as at least you have clib, course, apps … etc.

But complex rule one - who can play with you for hours. And what happen if you do not like it later.

Or the game no more. Midway is a board game about the battle. Heard of it? How about Battiestar Galactic of just the reimagining fame.

End up with catan and in fact still not open the seafarers. But at least when played you can.

Wonder about the other 2 now. Pandemic seem catchy.

Honestly i really like Gmail as a client, but I've read too many Google horror stories over the years. Therefore I've always had this setup: own domain & mailbox at a trusty provider, and then just forwarding copies to a gmail account + sending via smtp

that way I've got the comfort of gmails features but always have a "real" mailbox to fall back to if anything happens
> Young Americans from poor rural towns who enlist just for healthcare have no business in Ukraine or Bulgaria.

Exactly the point. USA had no business in Iraq too. But they got some sweet multi-billion dollar reconstruction contracts after sending troops. And the troops will be entitled to a life-time veteran discount in diners across the US! What's not to like?

You won't have a peaceful anything with Russia. So stop sponsoring their weapons programme with gas purchases. The US wants to keep the EU out of Russian influence and medding. Eastern Europe has been under Soviet influence for 50 years. No more!

Germany and France are the NATO. Without us the alliance does not make sense and should not exist.
Let's say some of us trust US more in that regard.

Of course it's unfortunate even a single American has to be here.

Germans (or at least their politicians) would be happy to sell most of Eastern Europe to Russia one way or another. France doesn’t care that much. UK does, but their conventional military capacity is limited and them leaving the EU also complicated things (UK was the primary advocate of expanding EU into Eastern Europe.

Well it does serve a few goals:

* Fulfils his old goal of expanding Russia to old soviet borders (see Chechnya, Georgia, Crimea etc).

* Distracts from internal problems with an external enemy (a tried and true tactic of dictators)

* Provides a buffer from Nato and Europe (long a preoccupation)

The bet here is that the West will do nothing if he takes Ukraine. Given the current messaging from the US and Germany (Embassy evacuations, disposition of fleet, Biden slipup Fri, 5000 troops), he's probably right.

You don't move this many troops and ships etc as a feint (nor would you need to), the die is already cast, and the only uncertainty is what the West will do about it IMO - at present it looks like not much, as they didn't do much about Crimea.

Worst case for Putin is a long war which bleeds the country of money and resources, so he'll want it over quickly and a puppet ruler installed, at which point he can withdraw and plan to slowly absorb the Ukraine or leave it as a satellite state like Belarus.

Hetzner dedicated server * 3 + k3s + vnet + longhorn + metallb = basically the cloud.

I can snapshot a database disk with a click of a button and restore the snapshot with yet another few clicks.

I have 1.5 TB of highly available disk space, 40 cores of full CPU power, 160 GB of RAM, & dynamically provisioned IPs for metallb. For only $130USD a month. For the same price in Azure, I had 6 CPU cores & 8 GB RAM.

Maybe 5+ years ago. These days ~4€/month gets you 2GB of RAM, SSD storage and plenty of bandwidth.

Hetzner has such a VPS offering (2GB RAM/20GB nvme SSD/20TB bandwidth), netcup has one for ~3€, contabo has 8GB/50GB nvme/32TB for 6€/month and there are plenty of smaller companies around the world offering similar deals (usually somewhat less included bandwidth outside europe though).
Definitely a cool project.

However, in my experience no system ever managed to find genuinely similar songs, in terms of style, feeling, structure (notes, rhythm etc.), voice (pitch, strength ratio when compared to the accompanying instrumentation, ), and genre. One could find some of these, but very far from enough to satisfy my need. I appreciate though that some songs are so unique in this sense that finding similar ones will be a serious effort.

Let's take, for example, Evidence by Faith No More: https://maroofy.com/songs/1271787478

The suggested songs appear to share a similar structure sometimes, a similar genre and even a feeling at times. But none are coming within the range of the cue song.

What I'm looking for is a combination of multiple details that make this song unique: bassline, rhythm, feeling and voice.

Still, it must be said that in some cases, where the song follows a popular or fairly strict rhythm, like in some blues styles, the algo works a lot better:

For example, Heather Nova - That's All That I Need: https://maroofy.com/songs/275983279

Many of the suggestions fit the rhythm and, since the feeling of these songs is heavily based on the rhythm, we have multiple winners.
> You'd have to figure out the setting up stuff just once though and then automate it.

You're assuming that this is for recurringly set up infrastructure. Sometimes infra is set up once and maintained, othertimes it's set up and spun down. It's also not always automated. The time spent automating something like that might not be worth it in the medium to even long term.

> Also, it doesn't take a week.

The actual amount of time it takes doesn't matter; if it's a day or a month. what matters is costing the time spent on setting it up and maintaining it, and pricing that against AWS costs.
Unpopular opinion Windows 11 is best device for development + entertainment if you have high end PC/Monitor etc.

I cant use mac with my LG OLED cause refresh is limited to 60HZ (WTF apple) i dont have access to CUDA and a few linux based python libs and ofc most games just dont work.

I can't use Linux cause 60%+ of games (multiplayer) that i play with my friends just dont work on linux or have random crashes, my Bluetooth connections are trash and smoothness of the KDE/Gnome isn't as good as windows (on nvidia gpu).

On windows everything just works. If i need linux i just install wsl2 + cuda if i need video editing software i can even use KDenlive, if i want to turn on some multiplayer game i just press play and I can play it.

ofc. I turn off all the "seciurity" stuff and block most of the microsoft ad's domain in pi.hole but still from normal use cases for most people that i know of in age of 20-30 (mostly other developers) W11/W10 is just best overall experience and everyone is using it daily. Maybe when i get older and wont spend as much time on entertainment Ill go for some GNOME based linux distro and buy 5m cable to connect my headphones.

That is the one thing that I miss in SQL. I find it extremely wasteful (developer hours) that every SQL query needs to redefine the whole relational model from scratch. The RDBM knows the model, it should use that knowledge to automate the necessary joins.

In theory he can nuke whoever he wants by issuing an order. If the president decides to say nuke Toronto on a whim, then he can.

There are of course consequences in that the US may then get nuked in retaliation, but that doesn't stop the actual nuking.

Whether in reality, the orders will be followed (initially the secretary of defense, whose job is to authenticate the order came from the president, and then the joint chiefs they orders are relayed to), or if they would be delayed enough to invoke the 25th amendment and remove the president from power, is a matter of speculation.

I'm in the opposite camp, compensation of high dpi is nice for "main show" screen parts like the active editor in an IDE, but stuff like Winamp is just perfect in an always-on windowshade living in as few millimeters as possible of the titlebar region of the left screen (dunno why it's the left, Winamp has been the left screen for almost two decades)

On topic, where everyone mentions "their" winamp skin: for me, winamp is the pale blue of the inconsistently named trainatron/trinatron. Always on top, always minimized to shade, only expanded to toggle the playlist shade (but usually operated simply by drag&dropping album folders).

One time ordering was broken when windows stopped to supply files in alphabetic order so I had to make a plugin that took care of that (my files are certainly named with padded index prefix). That plugin might have been the most wonky piece of c++ routinely ruining on my system, but it did the job for quite some years.
"Sold their soul" - have you seen European energy prices?

Up 300% in the last 2 months. We cannot afford a war, it'd make the COVID crisis seem trivial.

US interference (see the Burisma board, supporting gas tariffs and opposing Nord Stream 2) brings us to the brink of war - and, much like with the Middle Eastern refugees, Europe must pay the price for US imperialism yet again.

It's painful to read so many American comments treating it like a game, when they have nothing to lose - safe thousands of kilometres away, and won't be affected by the energy prices, etc. either.
I can't help think that it's a bit unfortunate that the US would be selling LNG, if sanctions result in the EU not buying Russian gas.

I think that's a big stretch.
Ukraine is not part of NATO amd no NATO country is under attack or has asked for assistance, quite the opposite actually. EU countries won't even be pulling their diplomats from Ukraine as talls continue.

Sure, that's why I stipulated 'sometime you're up against impossible odds'. But I don't see how there can be talk of an equal partnership when one party is expected to bring in all the money and do half the emotional labour, and typically a good chunk of the housework in the process.

Ask HN: How to begin learning assembler for university course?
Next semester I'll have a subject about computer architecture. During it, we'll be learning assembler (TASM, if the website's correct).

Could I ask for your advice, how to approach that topic? I'm not going to lie, task of learning assembler seems to me quite daunting and stresses me out. Do you have any tips from your personal experience? Do you have any TASM books recommendations?
An autocrat who struggles to remain in power buys his military’s backing with a higher budget. The way to do that is to threaten, posture, and trigger aggression elsewhere. Not sure how well Russia’s economy is doing during COVID, but they’ve been posturing with incessant propaganda against US, NATO, EU, vaccines and COVID measures all over social media in Eastern European NATO countries since the Obama sanctions, and even worse during Trump. They blame the west for all economic issues caused by COVID and now by Biden’s presidency they have installed some pro-Putin leaders as a result of the discontent. COVID may be an opportunity or pressure point causing these actions (less aggression-prone western allies with more internal issues).

The bigger issue is the timing of aggressive standing not just in Ukraine, but also in Taiwan. If one is invaded and NATO/US gets busy, what stops the other one from triggering to take advantage of the distraction? If US has a weak response and the smaller NATO members get stomped anywhere, that could put fissures in NATO and embolden both aggressors to take over their juicy bites.
Is there a credible threat of NATO members being attacked on their own soil? Does anyone believe that Russian troops will just march through Ukraine to attack Poland or Romania?
I have been Windows free for many years now, but because Windows and Microsoft are becoming increasingly user hostile I have also started to switch all my non-techie family members from Windows to macOS.

We have only one more Windows device left in our household and this year that one will get replaced as well.

This is the "new" Microsoft - so absolutely hostile and shit that I felt forced to convert everyone from my wife, to my grandmother to move from Windows to Apple and they all feel so happy and keep asking my why they never used Apple before. The integration with their iPhones and iPads is wonderful and the OS really gets out of their way and lets them do the things they care about the most. Things work and don't break.

> Which DE/FM will allow me to configure menus? E.g. “git push” item on a folder containing .git, “npm run myscript” on a folder containing package.json.

Dolphin has "services" which allow you to get custom context menu items, though I've never written one so can't vouch for how much effort it is or isn't. It also has an embedded terminal for more adhoc commands.

> Which DE has presets for window placement like FancyZones? E.g. you move/resize a window normally, but when you hold Shift, it suggests (draws) pre-configured zones where you may drop it.

Tiling WMs obviously have options out the kazoo for this, but to my understanding, KDE also has snapping, though it's more akin to Windows 10 built in or Spectacle/Rectangle on OS X, than full on Fancy Zones.

> Which FM allows for in-place folder expansion (like Finder)?

If you mean the tree view features, Dolphin. If you mean the triple pane mode, no idea.

G-Sync/VRR/mixed refresh rates: Yes. nvidia closed source drivers or Wayland required.

Mixed DPIs: I run my monitors at 1x, so can't comment about scaling. Apparently it's a clusterfuck though.

Really? Even now it's still one of my favourites. Apart from the fantastic visual direction, soundtrack, and Anno's characteristic style, I love the way it plays with the viewer's expectations and I admire its authentic treatment of depression (Anno himself suffered from clinical depression at the time, which is reflected in the direction of the story.)

I can imagine coming away from it slightly disappointed if you didn't finish with The End of Evangelion movie, but in my opinion, the final two TV episodes are underrated.

To be fair, Ukraine is not a part of NATO, nor are the many Eastern European countries, and further east, Turkey is on the edge of leaving.

What would happen if you don't sue this company, but also don't comply with the discriminatory requirement? Would they fire you for not following an illegal order? (As in, interviewing and including male candidates anyway).

"I was just following orders" is not a valid legal defense in this situation. And beyond the legal sphere, what do you know is the right thing to do?

Either way, I'd recommend you preserve whatever documents and notes that you can for the future.
Usually on Linux and Linux-like systems ("Free" ones I guess), you can easily change something that you don't like, or at least it's not impossible to change it.
