There were still some differences back then too.

I remember in the late 1990s you could usually tell if a desktop app was written in VB6 or Delphi based on certain hints. For example Delphi apps usually had those cool looking OK / Cancel buttons with an icon.

But yeah, nowadays it feels way more different because developers have a blank canvas with Electron vs using a standard set of controls from a popular UI toolkit.
I think the key difference, more so than racism, was context. The Middle Eastern refugees got there as an attempt to undermine Poland and the EU. They were transported there by Belarus explicitly as part of a geopolitical game.

You treat an attack very differently.

If Poland let the refugees in, I expect Belarus would pull more stunts like this. It was no good for anyone.

There is some mild tension with Ukrainians coming to Poland as low-cost labor, but at the end of the day, it's the same culture. Or at least it was before Poland started to Westernize its culture. Honestly, I think the right solution here is to reform the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine really ought to be one country. If Latvia, Estonia, Slovakia, or Moldova want to join in, the more the merrier. Belarus and Russia, when they're ready.

Estonia, by the way, is the odd man out. It has the least cultural or ethnic connection; much less than you'd expect. But I think it'd be a happy marriage. It's a compatible kind of diversity, where each side brings something complementary rather than conflicting and both sides benefit.
If you can concentrate energy, eg into a neutron beam, then it's not waste heat. It's a form of energy you still can get useful energy out of.

The only thing you can do with true waste heat on the scale of earth is to radiate it into space.

yeah, hard to believe labor shortage. most industrial jobs in EU shipped to China, last I heard.
That’s what they mean. My neighbor had one drilled and the contractors showed up with a huge well-drilling truck.

It’s just a huge vertical drill with segments you add on as it goes deeper, like an oil well drill.
Agreed. People are quick to call out Russian propaganda when it obviously exists on both sides (it's a war after all).
Yes, he looks like to be trying to be honest but not noticing that it is now natural for him to self censor himself and believe the propaganda.

Things like the famous: if you are a criminal, you have nothing to hide, so surveillance technology is ok.

It also has to be noted that it looks like to be his business activity to take part of development of surveillance technology...

Sure, but let me give you an example of what I mean: "The consensus view of the international community is that Israeli settlements are illegal and constitute a violation of international law." [0]

Yet, have you seen any western govt demand sanctions on the Israeli population for that? Have you seen this guy here demand github be banned for all Israelis? Of course not - and that's just the moral double standards I'm calling out.

Your comment is very vague; I know the views of both sides. When Putin decided to start the war, the arguments of anti-Ukrainians automatically lost their weight. You cannot fight using the argument of the Alley of Angels[0] if you kill civilians. Putin has already lost that part of his war.

The Ukrainian president was open to discussing a ceasefire and dialog, sounds like Russia isn’t interested at this time.

I predict that if the war gets bogged down Putin will threaten to nuke Kiev to force them to surrender.
Everybody has done much worse over the years. But today, right now, it's Russia invading and killing their neighbors.

Indeed, it sound crazy to me for Europe to be able to successfully absorb 40+ million Ukraianians. And even if the guy is only talking about absorbing the young and skilled, it's just gonna hurt those in the Ukraine who will be left behind.
I shall learn from this post how to disagree respectfully on the internet. Hats off.
This is something I never get. I go to Youtube I can watch russian and chinese propaganda channels easily, RT, CGTN, Global Times etc. Why does this exist at all? Like why does an american company allow that? Do people in China and Russia can watch US propaganda easily? To me it's just doesn't make sense. ESPECIALLY that feels like Google takes more care about US stuff (see any republican, Trump etc. videos) but hey we don't care about chinese or russian propaganda. Let everyone have free access to those!
Huh? Read my comment. I did not suggest there are no building in non-urban areas. Just fewer, and thus it would be less expensive to make them earthquake proof.

Japan deals with natural earthquakes all the time. Earthquakes stronger than whatever a bit of geothermal energy production would produce.

Ukraine’s Deadly Gamble
The original short story by Terry Bisson from 1991 -

https://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/think...
Zelensky is riding alongside his officers into battle.
"
Start of political career

The political party Servant of the People was created in March 2018 by people from the television production company Kvartal 95, which also created the television series of the same name.[35][36][37]

In a March 2019 interview with Der Spiegel, Zelenskyy stated he went into politics to restore trust in politicians and that he wanted "to bring professional, decent people to power" and "would really like to change the mood and timbre of the political establishment, as much as possible".[35][36][37]

Starting 31 December 2018,[38] Zelenskyy led a successful,[39] almost entirely virtual,[40][41] presidential campaign to unseat incumbent President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, in just three to four months. Zelenskyy clearly won both the first round of elections on 31 March,[42] and the run-off election on 21 April 2019.[43] One of Zelenskyy's presidential campaign promises was that he would only serve one term in office (i.e., 5 years).[44]
"

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volodymyr_Zelenskyy

He was the star of a show called 'Servant of the People' where he starred as president, and then in actual reality started a party called 'Servant of the People' and became the actual president!!! What are the odds?

You couldn't make this stuff up... Only they did. :)

The company he partly owned wrote and made the show, and then paid for him to start the party in real life. Fake it till you make it, I guess..

--

Strangely, on his WEF page:
https://www.weforum.org/people/volodymyr-zelenskyy

it says:
"Has held no elected posts."

and "On 21 April 2019, won the regular election with 73.22% of the vote and on 20 May 2019, was sworn-in as the President of Ukraine."

What does that mean?
I’ve tried cold brew from a few different sources and it’s awful, I had to throw it out. I must have different genetics or something affecting my taste.
> Let's face it, the Russians are not stupid.

I thought so too. But one surprising thing about military conflict is that it's easy to be stupid.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lICRQPIduFc&ab_channel=Monte...

Even with overwhelming superiority during WW2, the US damn near lost their first attempt to invade Japan.

Ditto for Japan attacking Midway, and every other decisive battle.

It's unclear what Russia is even trying to achieve at this point. Supposedly they've only committed 1/3rd of their forces, which means they have about 100k troops in reserve. But the 50k they did commit seem to have achieved nothing. I was expecting a blackout (thanks to air bombardment), followed by a destruction of Ukraine's air force, then the fall of Kiev. Not one of those things happened.

It really makes you question whether Russia's reputation is well-earned.

The next few days will be crucial. Russia has only a few more chances to plan their next moves. If they continue failing, they'll be forced to withdraw when they run out of supplies. Which is to say, a Ukrainian victory doesn't seem to be impossible, and it doesn't seem to be the result of Russia not wanting to punch too hard.
He’s a very complicated figure and I think it’s best to view everything he says through the lens of someone desperately trying to get home. It is understandably self-serving.

I was somewhat surprised that the State Dept. claimed that Russia was willing to inflict mass casualties on the Ukrainian population.

I assume they've discovered through espionage that Russia intends to unleash nuclear, chemical or biological warfare on the Ukrainians.

Pay to earthquake proof their building and give them a bit of extra money on top. It's not that hard. Have a sort of auction to see who in the vicinity it willing to accept the geothermal plant for the cheapest.

Keep in mind that Germany has plenty of open pit lignite mines. Like eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Schleenhain_coal_mine

The disruption from geothermal is minuscule by comparison.
I am developer from Lviv, Ukraine. I already prepared molotov cocktails. Ukraine is united as never before. Lot of people donate big amounts of money, buy necessary goods for army, everyone is very supportive, everyone knows what to do. There is no single pro-russian people there. Every citizen will fight for our land, because truth is on our side, and it become obvious to the whole world.

>The number of United States troops who have died fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had passed 7,000 at the end of 2019.

Still seems to be a lot, not sure if that number from Ukraine includes captives as well.
A number of these seem to nicely summarize a number of social media influencers.
This is so true. The veil of nationalism is only a tool for the authoritarian. Individuals who fall for the authoritarian are merely "useful idiots".

If you are Russian and reading this, fight to end authoritarism in your country.
Why? How much damage has been done?
Oil, gas and more widely electricity are pretty fungible commodities.

Are you saying that we can't source that amount from other places? That we can't substitute alternatives? That we can't cut back usage? All three? Or just ominously warning that anything that is done to put pressure on Putin will have terrible but vague consequences for the people trying to apply the pressure?

And simultaneously alleging that other governments (the ones not invading their neighbours) aren't good guys? What's that got to do with the ability of the EU to put economic sanctions on Putin for invading Ukraine and achieve their own climate goals at the same time? If it's of selfish benefit to not have wars and invasion and climate catastrophe then good.
I use both. The stuff inside the liner bag is stuff that has to remain dry (extra clothes, sleeping bag, stove and matches/lighter, etc).

That's very true. But the ability to wage war is subject to real world constraints, no matter how deranged the dictator.

The mention of physical health reminded me of this story, which briefly flared up a couple of years ago:

Also slightly different because in the Middle East, it's the Poles (and other pearl-clutching Europeans) that are over there arming and training the rebels, sending "peace keeping" forces, overthrowing governments and trying to partition their countries. It's not exactly a breakaway from the normal Western hypocrisy to see that they don't treat refugees from those countries well.

What the Poles see when they look at Ukranians are the same thing that most of the anglosphere sees -- fair skinned Caucasians. That's why "everyone" cares and why this relatively uneventful situation is getting this amount of news coverage.
I dont see the connection between self-determination and invading another sovereign country?
I know I know, I apologize.
I don't think this is generally true, there are already dissenting voices quite high up in the Russian government hierarchy. The full-scale aggression against the whole of Ukraine seems to have caught many high-ranking government and military officials by surprise. The decision was made in the Kremlin. Of course, it is unlikely that these people will take huge personal risks to rectify the situation, so it doesn't make too much of a difference in the short term. But I thought it's worth mentioning.

"Well-integrated" isn't quite right. Slavic minorities are treated horribly by most Western Europeans (and Americans too). Historically, you'd go West, make money, and come back. Or if your country was bad enough, you'd go West, accept mistreatment, and stay.

They're well-integrated in the sense of "keeping your head down and not causing any trouble." If you cause trouble, you're liable to be deported, lose your job, or have other consequences.

Tolerance for foreigners has gone down in the past two decades by quite a lot. There's a perception the current culture wars have helped, but for most immigrants, they've done the opposite.

> And they are hardly ever self-contained. As mentioned above, many jobs will reach back into the models rather than having all the data in their job

This is usually for a very good reason.

If you passed in a user model into your job directly and then your job executed with that user there's a race condition here waiting to happen where the user might have been altered in between when the user clicked the button to issue the job and then job itself executing.

This could have very bad side effects like the user receiving an email that they opt'd out of or maybe the user doesn't even exist in the system anymore or your job saves the user back to the DB with stale data that the user updated since then.

It's super common and a best practice to send a unique ID of the user as a job argument and do the user lookup in the job at execution time of the job. This is typically something you'd do in any system, not just Rails. You mention "actors" which hints at Elixir but Oban (Elixir's most popular job processing library) also uses this approach of passing IDs because this problem isn't related to your tech stack.

Also, you listed out 6 sequential steps in your ReportJob example. Based on what you wrote it sounds like they need to be done sequentially and can't be further parallelized. Based on no other context and it being a typical web app I'd keep that as 1 job and have 6 functions calls in the job that have the implementation details for each step so the job itself is very readable. I wouldn't make a jumbled mess of jobs-calling-jobs spaghetti there.

What do you mean? A few really minor earthquakes are all that was reported by the comment I was replying to. So I'd assume more really minor earthquakes.

> And even it was technically possible, how do you insure a company like that ?

The usual way of paying an insurance company?

> Will the plant operator be responsible for the repairs and damages when they destabilize an entire region ?

Depends on the jurisdiction. But sure, you can make the plant operator responsible for that and responsible for having gigantic insurance coverage.

(Just look at whatever liability people who operate dams have today. A breakage of a major dam would also devastate entire regions. So whatever arrangements are good enough for that use case are probably good enough here.)
The way I see garry's mod is that it's more of a high level Lua modding SDK for source engine. It comes with the sandbox "game" where you can usually build stuff or hang out, and a game called "trouble in terrorist town". https://www.troubleinterroristtown.com/

You can make your own gamemodes, or "addons" that work in any gamemode. The standard sandbox gamemode is typically extended with many addons.

Your question is a bit like asking what you can do on the internet. You can build a website or you can browse other websites. So in a way the garry's mod client is just a browser. On the hosting side you can very easily start a server and almost everything regarding custom content transfer is handled automatically.

Just like the web we've had many server exploits because they can execute lua on the client. We are now moving towards a permission based system on client to allow the server to execute things like programmatically opening external links, enabling the microphone, etc.

I wanted originally not to mention "the metaverse" here, but as far as I understand the idea of metaverse without VR, these games have been doing that long before metaverse was a thing.
Skepticism is fine, but the undisputed fact is that Kyiv is still in the hands of the Ukranians, the first all out assault has failed and barring a strategy change (for instance: paratroopers) you have to wonder how they plan to go about this.
Not degrees, thousandths of a degree, so possibly something like a centimeter if sea level rise.

Considering nuclear and fossil fuels directly release stored energy and solar increase albido this isn’t a 1:1 increase in energy. Further the earth radiates more energy from hot places than cool, still you can approximate it as something like:

Black body radiation is temperature in kelvin to the 4th power. (285 * (170,017^0.25 / 170,000^0.25) - 285) is an increase of ~0.007 C / (whatever our current percentage of energy from fossil fuels, nuclear, or solar).

I'm not familiar with this article yet but the British home office's political purpose to Tory governments is to antagonize immigrants and similar acts to appease hardline (racist, I won't mince my words) elements of British society. Priti Patel is taking this particularly seriously, so as a result of her own incompetence and fascistic tendencies, we might do something really quite stupid.

There's geopolitics to play here, so I expect the UK will take on Ukrainians regardless of domestic pandering (Eastern European migration is not seen positively by many British people).
As a Portuguese, I confirm this too. Me, my friends, family, friends of friends all the say the same: friendly, good and hardworking people.

Yes. Originally I typed a longer version of my comment that had a section on heat vs electricity.

Basically, the idea I proposed would only work for generating electricity, not for using the heat directly.
