Look, this is rediculous. Let's just break down what's happening, I am really curious how your logic works:

1. Bob makes a demand, making a press release
2. Alice reports on the demand
3. You claim that Alice is more trustworthy than Bob himself in relaying Bob's demands -- how is that supposed to work? You realise that this is literaly gaslighting?

> Try some reliable news sources instead of Putin controlled "media" for once

Oh please, stop acting like you are not the one who is in an information bubble.
Your news sources are only "reliable" because you virtually can't (actually, just don't want to) verify any of this.

Your "for once" makes it evident that you are assuming that we don't read your "reliable" news sources, but that's not the case, dude. What you don't realise is that Russian see this clash between Western media, Russian media and an objective reality, which makes us live in an atmosphere of radical skepticism as we can see the post-truth politics from each side.

This actually made me realise that you probably don't even percieve media as we do. You probably just take journalist's opinion at face value, percieving it as a final instance of truth. Where as I couldn't care less for an opinion and am only interested in references and sources (like actual sources, not relays), so that I can research the topic myself.

I will reiterate, your perception of Russian media is unrealistic, as you haven't ever actually interacted with any of it. Otherwise, you just wouldn't be talking of "Putin controlled media" over some blog post. It's just not how it works in real life, dude.

Apache Airflow 2.2.4 Released
Unrelated nasty IKEA trick I noticed:

I ordered a desk online. The previous time I ordered something from IKEA, I received a bazillion messages from them on the day of delivery.

This time, I received one message: the desk was being picked up. After that: total silence. At the end of the day, I called to ask what's up. Apparently they didn't have the desks, and it would be months until they would be back in stock.

What I learned: If you don't get stalked about the status of your delivery, you don't need to stay at home. You're not getting it.

What I did: told them I'd wait for the next delivery, and expressed my annoyance. Got a coupon because of that, then cancelled. I couldn't help myself: if they play tricks on me, I have to return the favour.
Putin holds a major soft power weapon, help weaken it with gas and oil rationing
It's not. It saves a few lines of code, with the tradeoff that you are handing some critical functionality--the wiring of dependencies--over to a black box. When things don't behave as you expect (which you might not initially notice), there is no code path to follow, you have to figure out what kind of magic is happening in the black box. It's just not worth the one-time cost of writing a few extra lines of code. This is also congruent with the aesthetic of Go in general.
>Is Russia even taking prisoners in this conflict?

Are you serious? Of course it does and actively promotes defections from the Ukrainian army as best as it can.
Top end Skins in Fortnite cost ~$20 each. However, on the after market they go for many $100’s.

Can't they reprocess in la Hague? I imagine it was politically complicated before, but in light of recent developments?

As an aside, France announced last week a plan to construct 6 new EPR installations, and a plan to revamp and extend the existing fleet.

The Netherlands has reversed it's decision to phase out gaz, and is extending it's capacity.
Sidebar: I’m excited to see Nim get LLVM support via nlvm. I haven’t read this document yet but I just remembered that Nim is an advancing language and checked GitHub for new developments.

It seems to be that Crystal has made some leaps and bounds in picking up some of the Ruby slack, though I see Nim lagging behind of taking up some Python users.

I’d feel 100000x more comfortable as a potential user if they had a little more corporate support and some mainstream use cases.

I think I’ll take this post as the wake up call to take Nim more seriously in my own hobby programming. I’ve had my eye on it since they changed the name and I discovered it; but I didn’t realize until today people were building such thorough resources.
This feels like the way the world ends.

Satoshi was maybe an above-average coder nor cryptographer, but not genius.

Difference is here we have more than two parties. The "centrist" Liberals are always in fear of losing voters to the left wing NDP, which is always anti-militarist. The size of the protests were indicative that a bunch of Liberal ridings would have been under threat if the Liberals had joined what was clearly going to be an unpopular war.

In the US, with only two parties to choose from, so-called "centrists" and "liberals" in the US almost all fell in line and nobody could do anything to punish them. "Who else are you going to vote for?"

Similar dynamic in the UK. Labour ("New Labour") was in power and supported the invasion for god knows what reason. Hugely unpopular move, but what were voters on the left going to do about it?
The idea of this must be to allow foreigners to fight under the flag of the regular ukrainian armed forces instead of having to fight as foreign paramilitaries, exactly for this reason? If I go fight in ukrainian uniform or even with a Ukrainian passport, why I do it or where I was born doesn't matter?
+1. These booked happened to line up with being taught by favorite professor too, so perhaps I'm biased.
Instead of investing hundreds of billions to restart a nuclear industry that failed to deliver what it promised for seven decades and created lots of problems of its own, Germany is investing in solar, wind, geothermal and tidal power production to find out what kind of issues those have (turns out wind turbines shredder insects en mass, leading to a different kind of ecological problem - there is no free lunch). Knowing very well that the EU will likely continue to require energy imports in the foreseeable future, Germany is pushing to import hydrogen instead of hydrocarbons, and a major supplier will be Africa. Instead of investing into irradiating our country, we invest into building sustainable power infrastructure with our southern neighbors.
This would probably be more visible as a standard submission (title plus link, then add 2015 at the end of the title).
Oh good question. I can't answer this one as authoritatively as I'd like - I'll double check with the team next week.

One thing to note is that the full CVSS 3.1 string is included in the database as assessed by NIST. The severity displayed by GitHub is stored as a "database specific" field, so it looks like we're trying to be explicit about the existence of multiple perspectives on severity (one of which is our own), but that we could do more to make that clear.

The problem is device enrollment. I am saying users want to use FaceID to log in like they currently use a password. They don't want to enroll devices with a service. Browsers don’t support software webauthn so the fact that it can happen is kinda moot. The existing browser-controlled implementation of the UX is what I’m complaining about. There’s this assumption in the security community that users need hardware backed crypto and soft keys with an agent in-between aren’t acceptable. I’m saying for most all users a soft-key setup backed by hardware primitives works just fine and is better than password auth but lamenting that it’s unlikely we’ll see support it because of platform control under the guise of better security.

Think of it this way, users would be better off with ssh style login instead of passwords but the “industry” seems to have skipped that step for consumers and gone straight to hardware keys.
Close Calls with Nuclear Weapons (2015)
If there is anything we can take out of the current conflict is that being a NATO member as a country is exceedingly important. I am unsure Russia would have made all the moves it made against Ukraine if the latter were a NATO country.

Also, mr P managed to do what the US hasn't achieved - make Germany put a ridiculous amount of money in the defense budged - exceeding the 2% of the GDP that was asked by the US in the past.

Every way you look at the current situation it is undescribably stupid and dumb, I don't care about "super sekrit intelligence information", the backlash from the US and the EU to the Ukraine invasion is incredible and continues mounting up. All that mr P can hope right now is that he doesn't end up in jail for life at the end of this whole debacle.
From what I can tell, your description of "roguelike" is the common usage today.

However, 20 years ago, a "roguelike" was a turn-based RPG of the lineage of Rogue—which usually meant it was a single-character top-down game with permadeath, grid-based movement, ASCII graphics (and maybe also a tileset or two, by then, but still quite simple compared to something like StS), and a procedurally-generated dungeon that you had to fight your way to the bottom of. (Some also required a subsequent ascension; others didn't.)

I believe the transition in terminology occurred some time around when The Binding of Isaac came out/became popular.

It can be a bit frustrating sometimes for those of us who grew up playing the old-style roguelikes when we want to go find ones we haven't played before, because most of what searching on the term turns up these days is the new-style ones.
Thunderbird 72 was. Since then my most important extensions are slowing drying up and away, but I treasure that v72 tarball and the extensions that I use with it.
You can't just say Germans are loved end of story. Doesn't make it true.

Greeks called Merkel Hitler because of helping them with their debt. Poland and Hungary is raging against Germany because of them helping refugees since about 5 years now. Whenever there is any kind of disagreement, Poland brings up WW2 reparations.

Whenever a German voices concern about how their EU tax money is embezzled I Hungary, they are called arrogant.

Linutop OS: Designed to Configure a Kiosk or a Digital Signage Player
We have IKEA in HK. I don’t understand how anybody can claim that its layout is maze-like. It is, to the contrary, expressly linear, with some shortcuts if you really want to skip some sections. Every section is also clearly labeled and you know exactly where you are at.
Renewable most of the time allows to keep reserves and use them when necessary.

Also the renewable story is not just solar and wind but also short term energy storage.

The dependency to Russian gas is only 30%. Adding more thermal solar energy on roofs and bigger heat water storage is relatively easy to achieve.

Of course Germany should have pushed renewable even further and we did not. It's frustrating to see so little solar panels in cities.
The Nazi's certainly didn't think of themselves as evil. They called the other side evil/Jews evil.

Same with Stalin's USSR.

> The whole world thinks that Russia is doing an evil thing

100+ countries abstained from voting in the resolution condemning Russian actions. That includes India and China which account for 30% of the world population. So the "world" clearly isn't part of whatever propaganda echo chamber you're in.

The world, like me, doesn't care what happens in a distant corner in Eastern Europe.

In any case, geopolitics isn't good vs evil: countries just pursue their strategic interests. Realpolitik
OP here.
I have been monitoring this post on and off and it seems like a significant number of people are flagging it.
It went onto the front page at least twice (both times ranked in the 10s) and disappeared from there.
As of now, it is back on and ranked 103.

I recognize that there are some questions regarding the papers (they are not peer reviewed yet) but the response to it on HN is both puzzling and troubling.
I've bookmarked this article for its exemplar writing style. There's no cruft, and it efficiently conveys intelligent, well referenced ideas. It's not often the reader's time and intelligence are respected. Kudos!
Here are 3 applied math gems:

1) Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos by Strogatz completely changed my relationship with applied math. I'd studied diffyqs and PDEs earlier but that was under duress and hasn't been particularly useful. Traditional books don't tell you that analysis solves only a tiny subset of important real-world problems, and for me, were just another boring dose of plug-and-chug calculus.

Strogatz immediately motivates the subject and uses analysis as a jumping-off point (with some pretty hard analytical HW problems!), but he quickly pivots to numerical methods with a very strong intuitive and visual/geometric approach. Years later, I'm using this knowledge surprisingly often.

https://www.amazon.com/Nonlinear-Dynamics-Student-Solutions-...

2) Linear Programming by Chvatal was the book that made LP duality really click for me. Prior to reading Chvatal I mechanically understood duality but with no intuition. Chvatal explains duality from a bounding perspective, and even better, motivates duality through simple dimensional analysis, just like in physics! (The Strogatz book above also motivates dimensional analysis and dimensionless groups, which has been very useful to me over the long term.)

https://www.amazon.com/Linear-Programming-University-Vasek-C...

3) Statistical Methods: The Geometric Approach, Saville and Wood was my bridge from meaningless opaque algebraic and calculus stats to a solid understanding. The book builds everything on vector space projections at the level of undergrad linear algebra. Even a simple mean of 3 numbers now sparkles with intuition and insight.

It sounds like these concept maps might be helpful for you to orient yourself in the UGRAD math topics.

LINEAR ALGEBRA: https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/linear_algebra_...

They are extracted from my books, but can be used to support learning from any other book too. I find it helps a lot to think about the connections and parallels between concepts, and also use the concept maps as a "spec" to know when you've covered all the material.
This is EXACTLY my experience. I took an adult learning class at a community art center and it almost literally opened my eyes. On day one, we were to draw an egg and mine looked awful. The instructor said I draw like a child, which really stung but it was true and he was being literal, not cruel.

I was stuck there my whole life, but this class taught me to stop using lines and “sketch light” (shading instead of line drawings) and use the whole arm with elbow up off the table for those circles and lines.

Russia first strike on NATO will cause at most 40m dead in the most improbable scenario of NATO just standing doing nothing.

If NATO will disable the Russian nuclear C&C, they will no longer be able to launch a coordinated attack, and it will be for individual officers in bunkers to decide of fighting an unwinnable war.

Total false equivalence here. I don't agree with what GW Bush or Obama did in regards to "stabilizing" the region, but this is a totally different situation. Ukraine was absolutely no threat to Russia and this was an unprovoked invasion.

Cutting aqueducts in most cases means people running out of water in short time, considering the actual whether. While it's perfectly possible to store non marginal quantity of water most people do not do that in cities, exactly where water is less available. Contaminating water with mild bacteria not enough to kill 99% of the people, but enough to reduce their capacity is another quick and easy task, water tend to be much controlled nearby sources, not as much below, sure boiling it suffice, but boil demand energy and in most cases having energy in a city it's not that easy, not much wood, almost nothing to produce it in place. Food might last longer but not that longer: most people are not really combatant and do not want to fight till victory or death.

Consider a thing: modern society is hyper fragile respect of the past, especially cities where very few people can block many others, almost the opposite of a very large slice of human history. Also modern society are not much ideologically propelled and widespread corruption of most actual government do make most people thinking that one or another does not change almost anything. There is a minority of fanatic, that's what they are, nor really Patriots, who accept a fight at any price, but those tend to be unpopular in their own people even more than in the enemies.

Also smart people know that there is no point in fighting a lost war, it's better to inject themselves in the winning order to undermine it slowly from the inside.
I've had Ikea furniture last more than ten years; the bookcases I inherited from my grandfather probably lasted more than twenty in total (and I only got rid of them because I moved abroad). I don't think that's "disposable". It depends a bit on which product you get, but overall I find the quality to be pretty decent. The best? No. But certainly not "disposable" either.

There's some shops that offer significantly worse (and often cheaper) quality furniture. I think part of the success of Ikea is that it strikes the right balance between quality and price: you get decent quality for a decent price.
I find it strange that nobody talks about the SWIFT alternative Russia and China have been working on since 2013, Russia’s System for Transfer of Financial Messages (SPFS).

If I understand correctly, there're already 23 countries with banks that have adopted SPFS, including Switzerland and Germany... so a SWIFT ban will only have a short-term negative effect on their economy and finally would be a big nudge towards building stronger Russian-Chinese ties in the future. Don't know how smart that is long-term, to be honest.

One problem of renewables is the energy density.

1 GigaWatt nuclear reactor takes 10 acres.

1 Gigawatt equivalent of solar panels is 2500 acres.

All those solar panels require much more metals and cement than the nuclear plant. And the lifetime of solar panels is also twice shorter than the nuclear plant.

> Edit: There is no such thing as "willingness to prosecute" in EU, all crimes must and will be prosecuted here (the officials of many states even said so).

There is no single EU criminal law, each state has its own laws on both substantive criminal law and criminal procedure. What you’ve just said is a sweeping generalisation which might have some truth for some countries (it is true in principle for German law, although even German law has room for exceptions), but it is false for others (for example, Irish law is based on the English common law tradition, and so has prosecutorial discretion much as the England or the US do.)

I have nothing against Pavel Durov, but in a situation where it's likely that they can't make Pavel what they want, they absolutely will lean on his family.

Telegram is used because it's popular and everyone else uses it I get that. In case this is crucial somehow and this reason prevents me from using Signal, Wire, etc I'd still use WhatsApp/FB over TG in time like this. I'd rather chose the platform from a place that has a history of being an adversary of (in this case) RU.
