I would like to see the Ukrainians be able to determine their own fate: without war. All the numbers say the Ukrainians, by vast majority want their country for themselves, unmolested.

What I hear from Western media is deep worry for the fates of these people who have become friends of the EU bloc. I work with Ukrainians daily. I am deeply worried they will be crushed beneath the tank treads of an authoritarian dictatorship. No one should have to suffer that fate. May they be free, happy and peaceful.
A comment in the recent submission about Rome touched on the idea that civilizations are only rarely bound together and energized by an idea or vision for what life should be. When we have no goal for what we should be, we let things sit idly. Forgotten cities: no great plan for them except a few salves when we get worked up about it.

The American dream was an expansion-economy mindset: new industries meant new wealth meant lots of jobs which will elevate your standard of living. It seems like China is now experiencing their own Chinese Dream, but America doesn’t appear to be anymore. So we need to know what the plan is: are we creating huge new industries, or are we creating a new huge safety net? Are we reinvesting in capitalism or are we transitioning to a luxury economy? If it’s the former, then it’s time to break up monopolies. If it’s the latter, then it’s time to become socialists.
Check if your domain comes with free web forwarding and SMTP outgoing mail because you can wire this up to a free gmail account to get email behind a custom domain. I know Gandi offers this for every domain for example but I don't know how common it is (Namecheap offers web forwarding but not mail sending for example). Do other registrars offer this?
FWIW, there's one particular use case where the isort behavior is incredibly useful: in eval-as-you-type data science e.g. when using Hydrogen in Atom you type an import whenever you need it but that leads to a lot of duplication and imports scattered across the file, and it's nice that isort just moves that up top on every save.
Does Black inhibit method chaining? In any case, I don’t see the value in fluent interfaces—if I had to choose between an opinionated code formatter and something people do because Martin Fowler told them to do it, I would take the former every time.

Current government policies are the biggest causes of wealth inequality[1]. On the other hand global trade, which is an actual free market, seems to result in less wealth inequality over time[2].

As such, I wouldn't be so sure that cryptocurrencies will only exacerbate inequality. "Free markets" often required a central entity to draft and enforce laws, giving this central entity power and incentives to favor certain market participants, by selectively applying or changing the rules. Cryptocurrencies could bring about actual free markets in places where there weren't before, by autonomously codifying and enforcing laws.

> Despite the fall in equity markets that drove a sharp decline in wealth in 2020q1, equity prices rebounded quickly after the Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury, and Congress took steps to stabilize financial markets and the economy, and households gained over $18 trillion in wealth since the beginning of 2020. This 17% increase over 2019q4 was driven by asset accumulation much more than by debt paydown. Further, asset-price increases were the dominant source of wealth accumulation, accounting for nearly 80%.

What annoys me is that if you wanted to see as few people in the US get vaccinated as possible, the best way would be to constantly tell people to get vaccinated and make a big political issue out of it.

The people I know that are not vaccinated have nothing against vaccines. They are just the type that if you tell them what to do then that is exactly what they are not going to do.

The approach used by most famous religious books (bhagavadgita, etc.) is statements with many layers of meanings. For example, such a book might say "do to others what you want others do to yourself" and a well-meaning simpleton gets only the surface level meaning, while a more advanced reader sees the more profound meaning, which might've offended simpletons. So everyone gets exactly as much as useful for them. Metaphors are used for the same reason.

Among other things, we are suffering from a "righteousness" arms race - whatever opinion or tendency we have, we have to find a righteous and moral reason for that feeling, because someone will find a moral reason for the opposite view.

Speaking down from a moral high ground obviously does not motivate everyone to do what we want, but it does motivate everyone ... a) it makes those who agree feel good for following the agreed rules b) it makes those who disagree feel like their human experience is invalid and motivates them to find a counter argument that feels just as strong (I HAVE to fight to protect my RIGHTS)

Obviously this is not the only thing that's going on. Every crisis is someone's opportunity.

Except that this description of war seems to paint every US military intervention post WWII extremely well.

There's also no point in positing counter-factual scenarios regarding WWII. If you want to imagine a world where the US rushed in and "saved" Europe early and prevents Pearl Harbor, you also have to imagine a world where US domestic support for Germany ultimately wins out and we end up supporting them.
It would be unfortunate for Ukraina to become next Afghanistan or Iraq too.
One missed opportunity in Black's algorithm is that it currently treats the maximum line length as a literal hard limitation in number of characters. Here is a trivialized example:

to_add = [item for item in data.new_items if item not in data.old_items]
to_remove = [
item for item in data.old_items if item not in data.new_items
]

Although the constructs are nearly structurally identical, they can be formatted very differently, which sometimes hinders understanding them.

A different approach would be to instead normalize all words to a certain fixed width. So, "to_add" and "to_remove" would have the same virtual width.

A related issue is that leading indentation counts towards the width limit. This causes refactorings which simply move code around (changing its indentation level) to change the code's shape, even when the code hasn't otherwise changed. This is exacerbated by that one often needs to mold code in such a way that Black formats it in an agreeable way, but this is generally not done during refactorings, so the readability of the code suffers.

I had the opportunity to write a formatter (for SQL, also unconfigurable/opinionated); it seems to successfully avoid these problems: https://github.com/CyberShadow/squelch

America's initial lack of intervention in WW2 resulted in Pearl Harbor and German conquest of most of Europe

Europe's refusal to follow Wilson's Fourteen Points plan and instead punish Germany as hard as possible is what created WW2 in the first place. Exactly how many of Europe's messes was the US supposed to help clean up before saying "No more"?

Yes, some laptop OEMs have (or have had) FreeDOS as an OS option.

Though with a quick glance at current local computer retailer catalogs I found only HP 290 G3, which is not a laptop (https://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c06636833.pdf). Found plenty of discontinued laptops (e.g. HP ProBook 430 G6: https://support.hp.com/lv-en/document/c06179691), though, so maybe it is just not as common anymore. I vaguely remember seeing FreeDOS laptops much more often 5-10 years ago.
I grew up believing my own abuse was normal and that it was my fault I wasn’t good enough. By the standards of my community, it wasn’t abusive at all. (Spare the rod, spoil the child.)

It fucked me up for a very long time.

It wasn’t until I was 34 and 18 months into treatment for bipolar disorder that I discovered where so much of my self-hatred came from.

No one around me knew how damaged I was because I had to hide it to survive.
I think some cultures are just totally out of whack though, the British Victorian attitude of children should be seen and not heard is just a cover for abuse, and there are people today still using this, I see it frequently on social media, mothers do it alot, its like they want kids but not the hassle. However noone really sits all women down and explain this is how your life will change, you dont see this at school, you dont see this anywhere, and the same goes for blokes. Noone ever sits you down so to speak and say hey, this is the consequences of your actions if you take this path.

As a human race we just keep screwing up making the same mistakes time and time again, which works for corrupt institutions, because we end up having to validate their existence in one form or another.

Most crypto addresses inequality directly by giving everyone the same access as anyone else.

No dark pools, no naked shorts, public ledgers are commonplace, no brokerage license required to participate directly, the list goes on and on.

Equality is not equity, in case there was any confusion (maybe there wasn't) but crypto has incredibly strong claims to equality in money.
Sorry but that is what I meant. Was that not obvious?

It wasn’t my intention to lump these two things together and treat them as one in the same. I know that legality and morality are two entirely separate concepts. I just happen to believe he is acting morally within the bounds of law, while others believe he is acting immorally and possibly also illegally. Though I think most of us would agree that ultimately what is most important is the morality of the issue - if the law contradicts this, the law is wrong.
The use of 7–9 year training periods (5 years PhD + 2–4 years postdoc) means a journal article's author and their scientific readership have a lot of shared knowledge and culture, which probably increases the reliability of communication. I agree that pre-publication feedback from peers also helps.
Since most matter devices seem to primarily work with Thread, I have high hopes that it will somewhat improve the situation. With the devices not being connected directly to WiFi, I would assume that they can’t be as chatty as they are nowadays.
I've recently been working with an old C++ codebase that formats every function call like this:

Foo<Bar,Baz> value = some.method (1, 2, 3 + 4) ;
// or with no parameters:
value = some.method() ;

I've never seen it anywhere else, and it took me a good week to get used to it.
Product search on websites for traditional brick and mortar stores is the worst for this. I guess they weren't born with the challenge of "if customers can't find the product they want, you will die" that online-only businesses have, but still, it's not like online shopping is a new thing. And people might like to know if the store even has what they need before heading out!

You mean from the perspective of learning a language they invented (swift) so you can publish apps on a distribution channel they built? to users who feel safe and secure giving you money via their credit cards because of Apple's brand? so you can sit there and collect money on something with zero marginal cost?

I am a developer. Been one since I was 12 years old writing x86 assembly code. Published apps on disks and distributed them at the local video rental store. The market size was probably 2000 people in my town. Let me tell you that what developers have access to today.. built on top of Apple's ROI machine, is incredible.

Given that cellular system has a 9-1-1 system that works independent of phone numbers/subscriptions, is there a VoIP box/ATA that has a GSM/lte connection for cellular-based 9-1-1?

In Canada, if you pay for 911 from your VoIP provider, it still sends the call first to a site that verifies your address and once confirmed goes to the PSAP, so the value of paying for it isn’t really there.

> The phrase "regulation" implies that the regulators--the State--are ethical actors.

Why would it imply this? Regulation is a political object, not a moral one. Regulation can be good or bad (as evaluated by a moral system, dealer's choice) without collapsing in on itself.

Political systems thrive for reasons that are mostly orthogonal to their moral nature, chief among them being whether their individual institutions survive administrations and the people within them. Trust is a function of the perseverance of those institutions when they are also perceived as good; it has nothing to do with globalism or localism.
Google results are low quality unless you enable verbatim. Tools, all results, verbatim.

It blows my mind this isn't the default. I can only assume they've adopted the opinion of search engines before them that they could benefit from showing lower quality results to keep the users on their site longer.
It's hard to sort it out. I've read stories in American media that describe a Russian troop build-up and make an invasion seem inevitable ("they wouldn't expend these resources to mobilize this many soldiers without plans to invade"). I've also read stories that claim the Russians only have ~10,000 troops at the border, not nearly enough for an invasion, and that the amount hasn't actually changed.

The Ukranians seem to be downplaying the risk of invasion. Whether or not the US media wants a war, it may be the case that they've overestimated the likelihood of an invasion.

I only reformat code I am rewriting, for that reason. I've never seen a tool that was very good at bending its own rules to minimize these accidental changes (e.g., let a function call go to column 83 to keep it on one line).

My homelab started out of CCIE studies, so it was originally focused on networking and virtualization. I still use it for this, e.g. running a Cisco ASAv or VeloCloud vEdge on ESXi, I've also run Xen just because I wanted to try it out. This is where I would spin up a sandbox to learn how to use something like Wireguard, or Splunk, or whatever else $dayjob or $interests prompt me to explore.

But I also use my homelab to run "production" services as well: Emby/Plex/Jellyfin, Vaultwarden, a local Wikipedia, and more to come.

The overkill gear let's me do handy things, like split off my IOT devices to their own SSID/VLAN with appropriate firewall rules. I can run a guest wifi network, with rolling password auth, or even no auth at all - in which case I might want to block certain web traffic and such, which I can do with my squid proxy.

In summary, the answer is "whatever I want", and what I want is often to play with new (to me) tech, or practice professional skills.

Really curious - is it enough for another party to attest that they are accredited? Ie- could I set up a company selling verification services, saying “the person with this key is accredited, send the feds our way if they ask”? (Pure mental exercise, just honestly curious)
Sure, but why would black make those hard? (It doesn't, in my experience).
If the straightforwardly checkable claims in what DJB wrote are correct (which I have not checked) then I have trouble seeing how Peikert could be blameless, though he could certainly be less consciously and deliberately deceptive than DJB is representing him as.

E.g., I think the following scenario is consistent with all DJB's straightforwardly checkable claims: Peikert did see Ding's 2012 paper, or at least its 2014 revision, but didn't read it carefully and didn't appreciate that it meant Ding had anticipated Peikert's innovations by 2 years; Peikert's subsequent writing on the subject is misleading but not intended to deceive.

And, of course, if DJB is wrong on some of the straightforwardly checkable claims, all bets are off.

DJB is opinionated and iconoclastic, for sure, but I wouldn't generally expect him to make claims that are flatly false. E.g., if he says that Ding (2012) does basically all the important things that Peikert (2014) does then I would expect that to be correct. But I don't know the Bernstein/Peikert history, and even generally reliable people can go badly wrong when it comes to people they really hate...
