I'm sure you can understand that when people see their country being invaded by a fascist lunatic it isn't the best time to try to do tone policing. Yes people are hyperbolic, emotional, and irrational. They have perfectly good reasons for this. No, nobody cares in the current situation about the feelings of Patreon employees or their financial situation. Blocking Patreon from removing one of the main source of help for Ukrainian people fighting back against the invader is the correct moral choice here. If they do not take actions, yes, of course we can judge them. And of course they have their reasons.

Fuck Patreon and anyone who contributed to Come Back Alive being removed after 8 years with no issue.
I have never by choice used rar /or/ 7z. I'm not a heavy user of compression, just the occasional "compress for transport", so to me any savings in file size is an unnoticable rounding error, even 15 years ago. Far more important to me is the simplicity of having tools for compression/decompression built into pretty much any computer that might receive my file, and where the receiver of the file, who may not be technologically adept, knows what it is without me having to explain that it is a compressed file and they neeed to get some tool to decompress it.
We’re humans. We get to have double standards whenever it is convenient in all other points in life. I think it would be reasonable to apply it here.

It would also sour China's trade relationships with the rest of the world. The US is China's biggest export market at $452 billion a year, with Russia trailing at just $50B a year. If China decided to ally with Russia - or help them get around the sanction - it would decimate China's economy as well: https://tradingeconomics.com/china/exports-by-country

Russia is an economically weak state; it's not in China's interests to help them.
It is just an observation I have for quite some time. Right now iOS and macOS spend more time decompressing and verifying the update / download than the time it spend to do transfer. I understand not everyone has fast interest, but someday we may want to start optimise for end to end time rather than just downloading time.
The thing with radioactivity is: it may be invisible but it is luckily very well detectable. Gamma ray spectrometers are super sensitive but that does not mean the detected levels are actually posing a threat to humans.

Threaten to cut them off from SWIFT and kick them out of NATO. Their military is a joke, and they're clearly freeloading.
As someone that has recently started learning Rust, I am certainly interested in looking at source for bigger projects than I've made. Getting a feel for patterns and examples of how to do certain things.

If your interest in jless is about its utility, you are right, language doesn't matter. If your interest in jless is looking at its code, I think language is relevant. And personally seeing it in the title let's me know without clicking that I might want to check out it's code later.
As of now, it appears to be illegal for US businesses to transact with any resident (does not matter if they are peaceful or pro-Ukraine) of any of the annexed or separatist-claimed territories in Ukraine, so you might want to check that ASAP.

If Russia is disconnected from Swift but is still legal to do business with, you could find a way that does not involve Swift. If Russia as a whole falls under the same restriction (consider the implications), then paying your devs will become illegal and any advice on that would be advice on how to violate the law. Consult lawyer.
I think there's a legitimate interest in the popularity and adoption of Rust because a lot of people are curious to see if it will really stick.

So I for one find it interesting and it affects my sense of how it will play out.
The article states that a form of intelligence (without brain or neurons) emerges from fungi networks:
"Forests, grasslands and woodlands are not landscapes of individual trees competing with one another for survival. They are interconnected ecosystems that have formed over millions of years and their participants are able to negotiate, cooperate, trade, steal and compromise – all in the absence of a brain. Fungi connect them all."
"Fungi have a series of nerve nets throughout the mycelia via which chemicals can travel, similar to our neural transmitters. These chemical signals trigger responses that are programmed into their DNA, a type of intelligence that, in many cases, rivals the human brain in its degree of intricacy, complexity and connections."
"Mycorrhizal networks are structured the same way as neural networks in the brain"
"Oldest and largest trees have the most mycorrhizal connections. They are social creatures that support the rest of the network by feeding seedlings and injured or shaded trees, warning others of attacks and transferring their nutrients to neighbouring plants before dying."

I mean, is Iraq even a loss politically?

The US thoroughly rolled the Iraqi military, killed over 1 million Iraqis, overthrew their government, and installed a new government in Iraq that still exists today.

To say this is a "loss" leaves us at a place where the term has no meaning.

Moreover, they can, and use those same refugees to blackmail the EU whenever it's convenient to them.

I think survivalism can get a little bit solipsistic. Realistically, once you've survived whatever made society collapse to begin with your continued existence will depend very much on how much practical help you can give a community rather than abstract things like money or pre-collapse social status. We're social creatures to the bone, it'll likely be the most effective co-operators who will ultimately win out in a post-apocalyptic society rather than the most violent or the most self-sufficient.

I think of 'prepping' more as about acquiring useful practical skills you can offer the community in a post-apocalyptic society than storing tons of tinned tomatoes in a bunker.

I have RT News on TV here in the UK. Instead of banning them I think it's interesting to watch their reports on Ukraine, of course keeping in mind that all is war propaganda at this point.

For instance their map of Ukraine now has the whole of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions excluded (along with Crimea, of course) although the current rebel-held areas that they have recognised are less than half of that. This may tell us something about one of their goals.
RAR is the only archive/compression format that can include a PAR2 like recovery record. You can even configure what % of the size to dedicate for that.

That has been a great killer feature for me over the years.
Re AC dealing with degrees Celsius: I have yet to find a thermostat of any kind that works in Celsius but does not allow half-steps. I'm sure they exist but then the problem is more lazy design than the units used.

In general I don't mind much the difference between metric and imperial except for how poorly the different imperial units interact. I don't think there's many people that can tell you from the top of their head how many gallons are in a cubic foot. Looking it up it's some awful repeating fraction. Try the same in metric and it's much easier: One cubic decimeter is exactly one liter. A cubic meter therefore contains one thousand gallons.
1) Patents are outrageous and should be abolished. However, in this particular case, the patent has not yet been granted, so may indeed not be found to be valid.

I use duplicity. Far from perfect, but I hope it's better than rsync and similar.
And yet there's nothing you could think of to say that didn't equate Germany and Putin as Ukraine's enemies?

This is all very reminiscent of "Hillary is just as bad as Trump". Seems to be a common logical fallacy that you can't have something that is better than the alternative but still not good enough.

Instead people have to exaggerate to make the better one just as bad, which then has the implicit claim that the worse one is just the same as the better one in this metric.

Whatever Germany is doing or not doing, it seems unlikely to approach the same level as invading Ukraine and killing a whole bunch of people.

But fuck the employees who appear to be complicit is too much?

I genuinely don't see the difference. I'm not trying to be difficult, but it does absolutely make sense to me.
Are we even at a point now where money can make a difference? It seems like within 2-3 days the existing governmental structure will be seized, along with (I assume) funds that are being donated. Is it plausible that Ukrainian gov officials will retreat into NATO territory and continue to coordinate resistance from there, along with the still-pouring-in funds, or is that a pipe dream?
There are problems that can be solved by classical computers, but under current computing regimes the time needed to solve the problem requires longer than the current age of the universe. It's reasonable to say no classical computer can solve these problems. There are other problems that could take centuries - for all living humans, those solutions are irrelevant.

In fact, anything past 20 years of compute could be reasonably assessed to be impossible, practically speaking.

This isn't meant to be pedantic, simply to underline a class of compute intensive problems that are practically intractable with classic computing, even though technically possible.

If those intractable problems can be solved using quantum computers, we take another step on Kardashev's path to a type 1 civilization. Or another step closer to the great filter.
> Currently Russia is suppressing all the civil protests against war in their own country, and they go as far to make people go to jail for just tweeting about it.

Sounds remarkably similar to the actions of western governments in response to recent protests about mandates. But now Russia bad so forget all that.
You're falling into the same trap. You can care about Ukraine and about the well being of Pateron employees. These are not mutually exclusive. I understand the context surrounding this line of conversation but I'm not going to endorse or support someone saying "fuck your friends at Patreon" for something they probably have absolutely no control over.

NATO is avoiding short term losses to risk long term ones.

For all of my compression needs, i usually go for 7-Zip for longer term storage (since while it is noticeably slower than the alternatives, the ratios can be really good for formats that compress well, e.g. anything other than images or videos).

I also use ZIP for when i need good compatibility and relatively fast compression (since zip/unzip are easy to use as far as CLIs got and 7-Zip also supports the format, as does whatever my *nix distro at the choice has for a GUI compression program).

I sometimes use tar with GZip for when i just want to temporarily compress something to move between servers without worrying about file permissions etc.

I think you're reading me more broadly than I meant you to. As I mentioned in my comment, at a minimum, any utilitarian system would consider an action's morality in light of what would happen in the absence of that action. Yes, people absolutely do subscribe to utilitarian systems, at least as a component of their overall moral stance.

There are also of course many moral systems that do not value the welfare of other species as highly as that of humans.

No, they still allow all the gun-advocacy patreons and things like that. It's more because of regulations that make it harder to exist if your platform materially supports foreign war efforts. Cowardly stance, though.

Snipping out the specific sentence: "In exchange, the European Union agreed to resettle Syrian refugees from Turkey on a one-to-one basis, reduce visa restrictions for Turkish citizens, pay 6 billion euros in aid to Turkey for Syrian migrant communities, update the customs union, and re-energize stalled talks regarding Turkey’s accession to the European Union"
I not arguing is effort-free, but is effort-minimal. The idea allows, at most, one or two major steps, the first and the biggest is as simple as is possible and can be done in one go, and have zero possibility of breaking.

The only major issues is that the change is let half-way. But that is only possible with MAJOR undisicpline.

The major point, to me, is that this EXCESSIVE fear of breakage is not good.
Yes, making upgrades is pain, but you CAN make the pain tolerable with some planning.

If that gives you moral pause you should perhaps stop paying U.S. taxes as a U.S. citizen and see where that gets you.
I think we underestimated what Nuclear weapons actually did to the world. The countries that don’t have it are pretty much sitting ducks unless a Nuclear power is willing to defend them.

We cannot defend Ukraine against the most unjustifiable war ever, and they can’t defend themselves.
Actually the elements popping out upwards is a pretty good approach as well!

Now, it might be a bit problematic when the windows are aligned with the top of the screen (in which case either the window would need to be moved or the title elements would just overlap the contents and be expanded downwards, much like tooltips would).

Payments to Russian entities and persons that aren't explicitly sanctioned are still legal. Banks may decide to decline transfers though, or simply terminate accounts that do such transfers on their own discretion – even if they don't have a legal reason to do that.
No, JPEG recompression I meant is not lossy here; it is essentially taking the internal JPEG data structure and losslessly compressing them in more modern techniques. If you want there is also an open source algorithm [1] developed and used by Dropbox.

I believe you that that's your specific personal experience. I don't think it's universal.
Most of these changes speed up the rust compiler rather than how fast the compiled code runs, but in some cases the changes do both. In general, often the total improvement is less than the sum of it's parts, because of diminishing returns. Sometimes though the total savings is MORE than the sum of it's parts. An interesting example I recall from C# work is when one develop made an improvement to the JIT which reduced the number of instructions in List.Add, this made an insignificant improvement in runtime. Another develop also tweaed the List.Add function directly, reducing the number of instructions as well, and again another insignificant improvement in run time. When put together though, the function became small enough to get inlined, which lead to a big improvement in runtime. As well as avoiding the memory hop, sometimes inlining lets the compiler find other optimizations.
> We have Kolmogorov complexity for algorithms but what is the equivalent to measure whole systems?

Theory is nice, but we don't really spend enough time systematically or empirically measure how long it takes people to learn various things, or similarly how easy they find making a change to an existing (codebase|project|language|etc). Doing so and just reporting what we learn as an industry would have a ton of value -- arguably a lot more than just coming up with a metric or proxy model of what we care about (how long something takes to learn or maintain).
