> the right answer is probably somewhere in between.

Almost certainly. All the views I listed are valid in their own right, and their proportion probably shifts depending on discipline. Anecdotally papers around health, well-being or fitness seem to reach an audience of people looking for self-improvement, meanwhile machine learning papers seem to be read by people on or for their job a lot. Some other disciplines meanwhile don't seem to reach a notable audience apart from themselves. Which is fine in it's own right.

I would actually love to see statistics on this, but I don't think anyone is in a position to provide them.

classic Mac coder here -- some experiments might show.. that software development is not bad for this 25 year old system.. the user experience is calm, cool and collected IMHO. But anyone with an interest in graphics will find that even with later "faster" models of Mac, the JPEG and PNG decompression will be amazingly slow compared to modern times. That is not to say that plenty of interesting and modern software will not be useable - it is.. rather the sheer math and bit-movement involved in quick JPEG decompression might come as a shock to phone users of today. Overall, very supportive of "OS archeology" here.

Good or bad, it's simply true.
It's more like addiction than insanity. They aren't doing the same thing and expecting different results exactly... They're doing the same thing just... because it's part of their identity now, even though they aren't all that happy.

Real insanity would be still thinking it was gonna be the next big hit.

I think we'd get more successes if people didn't didn't do this stuff and instead joined existing projects, or started with the business stuff first and tried to start their own foundations and such.

There are big wins, but they're incredibly rare and seem very random. And many of them are almost guaranteed to fail.

You'll learn a lot, but what can you actually use that knowledge for? Niche DIY stuff doesn't teach you much about mainstream methods.

The result is 1000 garage tinkerers for every Guido Van Rossum, and sometimes it's even actively detrimental to a project to try to cater to the tinkerers.

It would've been more interesting if it was actually skewed in favor of a gender, but the framing of this (as opposed to "affected people equally regardless of gender" or something similar) puts a suggestion of this primarily affecting girls when it seems to be gender neutral.

The man in the video says that this is the job of the self-defense unit. After 8 years of war, Ukraine has a lot of man with practical experience in this kind of war.

Here is the same video: https://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2022/02/27/7326510/ .

The text says that they are stopped by an army unit with help of self-defense unit (territorial defense unit).
> The right and human thing to do is following the Geneva Convention.

What legal precedent do you have that these alleged acts violate international law, norms or customs?

I am very familiar with jus ad bellum, jus in bello, war crimes under the Rome Statute and ICC case law, but I am unfamiliar with any legal precedent/case law in support of a position that Russian POWs are being mistreated in violation of any international laws.

Assuming you could find some case law on point, I doubt you will, I believe it was Russia themselves who told the United Nations and the UN Security Council that this wasn’t a war but a “special operation.” I’m not exactly sure how Russia would seek application of the laws of war by the international community while simultaneously telling the international community this is not war.

You seem to have the concept in your mind of open windows vs open apps. I've never thought of it like that, and always have the concept of apps in mind. Not thinking of apps seems as foreign to me as grouping windows as apps seems foreign to you. It would be interesting to see the differences between how either was learned to really grok the difference.

The butter side up/down does make war seem absurd. And a lot of war has happened over things that seem that absurd to me.

But war also happens over important things. The USSR really did have a different political and economic system. Was it really a threat to the U.S. or its allies? Maybe not. But the issue at hand was not a trivial one.

And I'll point out that the U.S. Constitution is still a radical document even among Western countries. Rights to speech and peaceful assembly, and the right to due process of law are not universal. Even some aspects of Canada's handling of the trucker protest would probably have been unconstitutional in the US.

My comment regarding education was for current Germany.

Modern Germany.

It is intentional that they are not going to show on the news Putins reasons for invading. You won’t see him speaking and you won’t see quotes from him because they don’t want him to sway you even a little bit to his side. They might cherry pick 2-3 seconds to “catch” Putin saying something that will portray him negatively but they will never allow his reasoning to be spread. This keeps him an enemy. You might wonder why isn’t every country against this, and it because they do allow him to speak and at minimum create doubt in peoples mind on who is the bad guy. For instance, it’s unlikely you would have heard how Ukraine cut off water to Crimea which Russia took over previously, literally forcing people to starve because no water for crops. You probably wouldn’t have heard that Putin is comparing Ukrainians to Nazis in their treatment of Russians in Ukraine. If you heard only what Putin was saying and not what our media was saying you might even consider them the good guys. The problem is who is telling the truth here? The US explicitly said weeks before invasion that Russia is going to conduct a false flag operation as justification. Did that operation occur? I don’t know, because as I said we literally get no explanation presented to us by our media and that is the way they prefer it. Feeling for your enemy would make NATO and the US look like the bully, if their citizens were to believe Putin’s explanation or even see them to understand them.
> And if on top of that you are immigration-averse, you're effectively dooming yourself into extinction.

The great majority of countries, even those with extremely low fertility rates (e.g. South Korea), are vastly more populous than at almost any other point in history. We're a long way from extinction - at least due to underpopulation. Meanwhile, a low population has a smaller ecological impact, and it's collapsing ecologies that are currently a bigger threat than running out of people.

There's no need to go as far back as WW2, where the aerial bombardment, targeting, and radar/counter-radar technology was instrumental to the war, but is still thought of as rather primitive. Even with incredibly advanced technology and adaptations to tactics, the Western approach's effect on urban centers today is still arguably the worst of all, comparatively. US allies in the middle east commonly inflict high civilian casualties, but also, from the article itself:

> In 2004 fighting between American forces and insurgents in Fallujah, in Iraq, damaged or destroyed 70% of the city’s buildings. When a coalition including Iraq, America and others liberated Mosul, another Iraqi city, from the Islamic State group in 2016-17, over 10,000 civilians were killed—around 3,200 of them by the coalition—and two-fifths of the civilian population had to flee. It was also lethal for those on the ground: Iraq’s army suffered 10,000 casualties.

I think it's indisputable that the Ukraine war and the 2003 Iraq war are/were completely unjust, and our feelings about the Ukraine war should guide our future policy about other supposedly "just" wars.
Ukraine has a long western border with the EU for supplies to enter, Poland, Slovakia, Hunary and Romania. It would be extremely hard for Russia to close that entire border.

I hate it when this type of info does not have a date attached to the main article, right in the beginning. I could assume some years, by looking at the references and some mentioned inside (2016?!?

By the way, the word you’re looking for is envy, not jealousy smh.
If you make accusations, it's up to you to prove them, not me. Goes to show how arrogant you really are.

You showed your colors. Russia will have to bear the consequences of their actions.

The brave people of Ukraine are defending their country like heroes, when Putin is cowardly watching from afar.

Our conversation ends here.
No condescension intended. It was just a regocnition that what someone finds instinctual others find less so. It was one of the lessons not learned until much later in life for me that allowed me to become much less frustrated when working with others.
Tell them if they don't fight Putin, they will be fighting the rest of the world.

The only way to prevent full out war is if the Russian people rise up. Putin is not considering their future at all. He is old and going out with a bang and taking the whole country with him, and Europe is done appeasing. Kicking Russia out of Swift has the direct implication that many European nations are now war-time economies. Basic things like heating will require dratistic government interventions. Defense spendings are going up drastically over night. Europe is effectively mobilizing in the background. And how could we not? He is not going to stop at Ukraine. He is coming for us all.

WWIII has started and the only thing that can stop it is if the Russian people prevent it. If they stand up. Otherwise, my safety, your safety, the safety of your friends and families is not garantueed. Otherwise it becomes a choice of a whole continent enslaved by one man -or- a whole continent destroyed.

Europe does not believe he will stop at Ukraine. Consider the implications, please. Tell your family & friends. His behavior is too erradic. The basic assumption is that war is inevitable.

MacOS is app centric and Windows is document-centric, in large part because of the differences in window management. MacOS window management encourages users to focus on which app is open, leading to users talking about apps rather than documents (I made it in Keynote, Pages, or Numbers). Windows windows management encourages users to focus on which document is open, leading to users talking about documents rather than apps (it's a Word Doc, an Excel Sheet, a PowerPoint Deck). The difference is subtle but significant. If you're a long time MacOS user, you can't imagine not just knowing what app your document/window is hosted in. If you're a long time Windows user, you can't imagine mentally sorting your windows by which app launched them.

This difference almost certainly has its roots back in the dawn of the original Macintosh, which could only run one application at a time and context-switching or Multi-Tasking had to be explicitly added to the OS after the fact[0]. Windows, which was developed later, was designed as an inherently multi-application OS from the beginning. Today, it's pretty much only in the windows management where you still see the vestiges of those original differences.

I've never been convinced by DI frameworks. I've always enjoyed the fact that the Go ecosystem leans away from them and I would hope things stay that way. In my experience they just obfuscate what should be a straightforward, explicit process of setting up your app in main. The less magic happening there the better.
People said the same thing about space flight. The difference between an orbital rocket and an ICBM is the ICBM is slightly easier to make.
Right. Facepalm. I kind of missed the bit where we shifted paradigms.

My personal preference would still be to be explicit, to echew secret mutable state even in the tests, but that's just me. My personal baggage makes phrases like "then restore it after the test finishes" bring me out in a cold sweat ;)

I guess I sympathise with your colleague, but I agree it's not idiomatic, and not being idiomatic is not helpful in a team.
The key to writing a PL and surviving is to have an exit strategy. Figure out ahead of time how long you will spend on this project, otherwise it’s liable to last half a decade or more before your interest wanes.

PL design is like crack for programmers. It is a lot of fun, which is why you see hundreds of little languages posted here every month.

The danger is that some people get don’t have a clear idea. About what it takes to write a pl. They can get quick wins with a parser generator and maybe some easy semantics, which give a good taste of how fun PLs are but also belie the fact that the hardest parts are exponentially harder than that.

Anyone embarking on a PL needs to be clear eyed about a few things.

1. You’ll never make money off of it. No one sells compilers anymore, and there are like 2 big for-profit languages out there out of thousands. If you do make money, let us all know how.

2. The odds are your language will have exactly one user, yourself. Get comfortable with the possibility you will spend years on something and no one will really appreciate it.

3. The real work in creating a language is not technical but community building. Languages need people who speak/write it to thrive, so as much or more work needs to be put into the community effort for the language to succeed. If all you want to do is work on technical problems that’s fine, but technical prowess doesn’t make a language popular.

4. Get ready for criticism. Every programmer has their opinions about languages and they will be sure to tell you their opinion of your language. It will not be good. The only people who will appreciate your language are other language designers. Most everyone else will start by telling you how you’re doing things the wrong way, and they’ll end by asking why you’re eating your time with all this anyway. Get ready for that and steel yourself against it.
Digital currency is already necessary, and is also already here.

Taking myself as an example, of all the actual money I currently own (so, not counting securities and whatnot, just cash and bank account balances), approximately 99.5% of it is currently digital and 0.5% of it is analog. And 100% of that is US dollars. And I'm unusually heavily invested in portraits of Andrew Jackson right now; it's typically more like 99.9% digital.

At present, I'm quite happy with USD for my digital currency needs because it offers me greater convenience and lower transaction fees than the available alternatives. One particularly compelling feature is that it's easily convertible to physical currency (and always at a nice, predictable 1:1 exchange rate), which remains the only game in town when I want to make a truly anonymous transaction. For example, when I give money to a pahnandler, I really don't want there to be any paper trail that the person I'm giving money to can possibly trace back to me.
I believe it is meant to contrast with the first paragraph of the article, which does indeed state that typically this behavior is seen in boys. So half of the patients being female is noteworthy.
>> [Defensive escalation] is common in nations where people are not taught the art of systems thinking.

I see that as the moral of the article. Sometimes feedback loops can make a joint system unstable even though they appear to ostensibly be stabilizing locally. When observed over longer time periods, negative feedback drives the system off the rails.

Perhaps resisting the impulse to react, or reacting minimally would seem like a general policy to consider (damping).

By default you support the aggressor. You want Ukraine to surrender. This woman has an opinion on your opinions.

You are being dishonest as you well know. Ukrainians are against the war Russia has started but they support the war effort as it defends their lands.

But dear MrRiddle: Ukraine wasn't even near getting Nato membership, was it?

Or do you have secret information that Nato would overnight change its rules to allow countries with disputed borders to join?

The problem with Ukraine seems to be that it was a successful democracy on the border of Russia and that due to the historically close connections between Russia and Ukraine, Russians could easily see themselves in Ukrainians.

As I wrote in another thread:

Even the official Russian ones.

Russia is landlocked or easily cut off.

Russia has vast empty stretches of land without population and transport routes.

Russia's main population centers and easily destructible logistic infrastructure lies to the west.

Russia has nine geostrategically important entry points that have to be secured.

Russia has to expand its sphere of influence to secure them.

Russia lost most of them in the early nineties and declined from Global Power to ignored bystander.

Their demographics works against them.

Their time runs out.

I read this as Russia's nuclear forces going on the next highest level of alert.

They've gone from level zero preparedness to level one. What else can be expected here?

I appreciate that any threat of nuclear war is disturbing, but I don't read this as reason to head for the bunker. It isn't nuclear brinksmanship as much as an order for nuclear forces to be slightly more ready than the baseline.

If you are concerned, do the prudent thing and stock up on non-perishables. Have barterable commodities on hand. These are reasonable and non-hysterical actions which are appropriate in all situations. Taking proactive measures will reduce doomscroll induced anxiety.
