It was not accidental. A plane capable of caring nuclear bombs was in their airspace.

I'm not comparing anything - I was referring to "end of the world". According to Turkish strategist, nuclear weapon is not usable, so they have no problem to retaliate.

End of world is impossible.

Just throwing this out there but Music could probably wait until after an early access release, right? Who's with me?

I mean people who play DF are so particular that I can't imagine many of them starting up DF and getting lost in the immersive soundtrack.

You get lost in the management of details, while listening to your own music perhaps.

Just trying to justify a quicker release date because I'm itching to try the new menus. :)
> Mobiles have shown that it's possible to remove the concept of files entirely from the user facing side of an OS.

It's ok when you have a file type exclusive to an app AND the app provides export functionality. But it breaks as soon as you need to share files between apps.

Arguably, this is more about implementations than the principle, but ask any musician about the IOS music apps and they'll tell you they're great... except the file management.
I go back and forth between normal windows and Andy but now with zettelkasten I think I'll stay with Andy as it allows to preview your networked notes in a linear manner.

Just peeked at dataview and I love it. Hope the overhead of creating the metadata in each note won't throw off my flow as I like to move at lightning speed (read chaotic).
So what you want is the circa-1970's-era Pick OS which had a database (albeit not relational) for storage rather than a conventional filesystem.

All that's old is new again...
> Instead of trying to be pro-Russian or pro-West, Ukraine have lost a chance of become Switzerland and make a live getting presents from both sides. Now, I think, it's going to be split.

Bullshit. And yes, I am anti-Russian expansion. This is a threat to myself, my family, my friends and my kids, actually. I am very pro-western and very happy my home country managed to be nato member.

Stop paining equivalence between Russia and Nato now.
Like the speed of a car has to do with how fast it goes.

But isn't the more interesting question how and why the crime rate is the way it is? Anyone who is actually interested in changing the impact crime has on a society has to look long and hard at those questions. Of course many also just take the topic as a political vehicle to reach other goals, that have nothing to do with actually making things better.
There is absolutely no problem with land area for solar and wind.

First, the amount of land used for fossil fuel extraction today is less than the total needed to park all the power generation equipment we will need. All of that land will soon be unused.

Second, putting up solar over existing farm and pasture land increases yield and reduces water needs. Solar over canals and reservoirs cuts evaporation loss. Solar over parking lots keeps off sun and rain, making cars last longer. There is no need to devote any land exclusively to energy production.

Finally, wind also coexists nicely with agriculture. A wind turbine not connected to the grid can be synthesizing ammonia whenever the wind blows, for local use as both fertilizer and fuel, much more cheaply than central industrial production that then must be trucked in.
* I am continuing the support of the above statement from a different example. I apologize if I came off as confrontational.

Of course, the prospect of personal enrichment is more important than millions of people losing their homes, homelands, loved ones and lives.
Not only that, US has been ripping off other countries using US$ for a very long time. And that why lots of countries now try to establish treaties of currency exchanging and reduce the usage of US$.
I have to say this again for the Economist fan girls here. It's still news, it may be more objective in tone and content than other publications, but it still influences negative thinking. Negative thinking is part of the job of global leaders or actual economists, so unless you're one, you're not doing yourself a favor
Systems that try to get rid off the "files & folders" abstraction of a file system tend to have much worse usability, in my opinion. I have an iPad Pro, and the lack of true file system abstractions is so painful. Every app has its own way to store and retrieve data, there's almost zero interoperability and it's super painful to copy, paste and move stuff around (I know it has gotten better but it's still so much worse than on any desktop OS).

I'm all for enriching the concept of a file system with additional meta-data (in fact many files do that) but I don't think that needs to happen in the file system itself. For example, software like Picasa leveraged meta-data contained in files to provide a new way of interacting with large number of photos. The author basically proposes to put such functionality directly into the file system, but I'm really not sure if that's a good idea. Right now it's easy to move files between different systems, e.g. from Mac to Windows or Linux. If file systems become meta-data management databases that will become much more difficult.
Few months ago QA at my workplace found a bug with my work but I couldn't reproduce it. Turns out they're using Chrome and I'm using Firefox, and after reading some docs & specs, I concluded that Firefox's behavior is not correct.

And what is your source saying the Ukrainian people were pining for the soviets in 2005? Rigged election results? Your opinions are crude and ghastly.
Unthinkable quantities of fossil fuel energy was within reach for 10,000 years of human history had anyone put 20 years of effort in to reach for it. 75 years without success when trying to tap into a new energy source isn't that disheartening.

It is well worth keeping focus on fusion energy, especially if there are theoretical reasons to think it works.
There's a difference between putting on a show, and genuinely being into whatever it is you're doing. What you're responding to is the former. What I'm suggesting is the latter.
I have an Samsung S7 and it works just fine with my non-jailbroken phone. I use it through F-Droid who keeps it updated. I don't use it constantly, though, and I mostly dl contents that I watch offline later when I'm out and about, so that might also affect some differences in usage patterns.
That's eye opening.

In the UK there's been much discussion of Russia's role in Brexit.
i.e. Aaron Banks, the man who funded the Leave.EU campaign, was aledgidly backed by Russian "business partners".

The Boris Johnson's Conservative government have said in the last 2 hours that they're going to keep £1.93 of Russian linked donations they've received since 2019.

You can draw your own conclusions.
> After all, NATO and the USSR (along the Warsaw Pact) used to be sworn enemies for decades by then.

USSR was literally Russia + occupied countries. Saying it is understandable is like saying it would be understandable for Germany to attack Poland and France again, because Third Reich went that far too.

Russia does not care about Ukraine joining NATO, Russia has nukes.

Russian politicians care about Ukraine being a prospering democracy and a model for russian citizens. That's it.

All power blocks have large influences into each other. That is basically the definition of being powerful in international diplomacy. You just notice it less (or caring about it less) when it's your own block influencing someone else.
I'm not an expert on Chinese politics either, but I've read analyzes written by people who are and their opinion is that which I stated in the parent.
Easier said than done. Most of the European Union are entirely reliant on Russia for natural gas supply.
The context for Ukraine wanting to be in NATO is that everyone in the region has been under constant thread by hostile nation looking to rebuild its empire.

If US attacked and annexed several Central American nations over last two decades, except the ones who are part of pre-existing "defense against the US" alliance, Mexico wanting to be in it would be perfectly rational and normal.

In fact, I wanted to say that such concepts in laws that direct how other laws are made need be necessarily broad. If you think of it: freedom, dignity, citizenship, and so on, are not to be interpreted in absolute terms according to some official definition. The motivation for the law is fundamental, and concepts get narrowed down in laws of lower rank until the point at which they cannot be listed case by case, then interpretation by the
judicial system enters into account, e.g., is the insult "f*g idiot" within the protected freedom of speech?

I don't trust a thing he says, he is a psychopath driven by a massive ego and an bottomless hunger for power.
Don’t minimize the effect of Russia being a conservative christian white (for Republican standards) nation. The European conservative christian right wing has allied with the likes of Russia and their puppets just to combat liberalism and secularism.
I usually avoid posting here as I see far more intelligent people on this forum. Since you asked for conjecture...

I'd recommend Caspian Report's video [1] first. Secondly, if we look at Cuban missile crisis, US had a strong reaction to missiles around them. I see the Russian reaction pretty similar. They do not want NATO expansion and they do not want missiles in Poland.

That would be correct belief. Russia shares border with Estonia and Latvia. If he manage to occupy whole of Ukraine, he will share border with Poland, Slovakia and Romania too.
Hi cool project. Congrats on finishing.

Some questions about lua:

- What dev environment do u prefer? When I looked last time I didn't really see a dedicated IDE for lua, mostly just plugins for vim/emacs.

- Did you consider lua in nginx? (Or what are you thoughts on it).

- Did you consider moonscript? (Or what are you thoughts on it)
Obviously it makes a huge difference in how hard they try to convey information.
> Look, nobody has any doubt that USA is very powerful.

Russia obviously doubts. All that power is useless if you are afraid of using it. Russia conquered Crimea in 2014 without firing a single shot in the best spirit of Sun Tzu because everyone else was so deathly afraid of what might happen that it utterly paralyzed them.

Congratz on being far away. I live next to a strategically important rail bridge that will get hit by a missile in the next round if Putin is not stopped in Ukraine. I don't think appeasement is going to achieve that.

Der Rückbau der bestehenden Atomkraftwerke muss schleunigst und ohne Zeitverzögerung auf höchstem Sicherheitsniveau erfolgen.

> We are completing the nuclear phase-out and are committed to the agreed path of searching for a repository with the highest safety standards and the greatest possible transparency and participation of the population. The dismantling of the existing nuclear power plants must be carried out as quickly as possible and without any delay at the highest level of safety. We want to close the nuclear factories in Gronau and Lingen as quickly as possible. In the EU, too, we will promote the phase-out of nuclear power.

I believe it is misguided. Fission is a great intermediary technology, which killed way less people than coal, oil, and gas per energy produced, including the nuclear accidents.

https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy#nuclear-...

Shutting down fission before finding a solution for when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing is nuts, and results in emergency fuel burning (gas and coal).
I work in robotics and this is very common for prototyping and also common for grad student projects. Here in Japan, Misumi will machine things like that to length and add whatever features you need, or even configure an entire assembly (eg a 6 sided box) and get all the parts delivered. I don’t recall the name of similar sites in other countries but they exist.

Other easy things to get a good result is use nuts or inserts instead of threaded holes when you can, and try to keep printed plastic parts in compression, not tension.

I think not enough people use sheet metal. Doing as you described plus sheet metal to put some material on the outside of the cross section not only looks professional, it adds a lot of stiffness. And for aluminum sheet 0.5mm or 1.0mm thick you can literally cut it with a knife and straight edge, and use a couple of pieces of wood or even books to make surprisingly nice bends. For thicker or more complex parts, it’s pretty easy/cheap to make or buy a decent brake, and also pretty cheap to get parts made from sites like I described above.

Try at least 2-3 decades.

Personally I'm still a firm believer in nuclear power.
It is a page with a schematic depiction of a floor lamp. "Click anywhere to turn the light on/off" is written below. When you click, the light turns on or off depending on the previous state, and background color changes accordingly between dark and light. The on/off state is the same for all visitors of the page, so, since this is on the front page of HN, it flickers quickly. Hence the strobe warning.
Why is Ukraine the West’s Fault? (2015)
Oh, it does a lot. The closer you are the less time your enemy has to react. ICBM launches are detected, buying at least enough time to shoot at least back.
It's a webpage with a simple picture of a lamp and the text "40 people in the room, click anywhere to turn the light on/off". The page background alters between dark gray and white depending on whether the light is off and on. It's essentially a collective online light flickering exercise and it's about as strobe as you imagine that would be.
Nice build.

I was watching a video of some Russians converting a very old bike using the motor of a washing machine. Very amusing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDizHIjZqBM

That contraption looks a bit scary of course but it goes to show that building a e-bike is not that hard. Which is I guess why there are so many companies doing that right now.

This one is really nice though.

I live in a big city (Berlin) and e-bikes are perfect for getting around town. You see a lot of the delivery services using them. Also in a weird bit of investor inception, you see drivers of one VC funded company basically using the e-bikes or scooters of other VC-funded companies.

- Ukraine is the entry door to the russian heartland, and as such has always held central importance to the russian military doctrine.

- Russia still has the internal view of a superpower, but they aren't anymore, Putin wants to reclaim lost glory.

- Ukraine becoming a successful democracy right next to Russia would further delegitimize his own regime.

- There's a grain of truth in the lie that russian Ukranians are discriminated against. Ukraine is very regionally divided on wether to have a pro-western or pro-russian government. [0] The pro-russian rebels are certainly supported and probably also instigated by Russia, but they do hold support among the local population in the far east.

This is also my expectation of how the conflict will play out: Russia will bomb Ukraine, invade from all sides in a limited capacity, but with the strategic goal of crippling Ukraine and conquering the whole regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. When those two regions are secured, I suspect a ceasefire wille be reached. That said, I've been wrong before, I truly did not expect Russia to just brazenly invade like this.

It's like the run-up to WWI. Everybody can see which way the wind is blowing. Once you are sure that war is inevitable, the best strategy is, unfortunately, to grab what you can.
> No they don't. An exception that isn't thrown costs nothing.

Wait whaaat?

When every expression can throw anything, the compiler and the user both loose the ability to reason about code locally. They change any function from returning one value of one type, to returning any value of any type.

This:

- has a performance cost: it breaks lots of compiler optimizations that require knowing where and what can functions return.

- has a compile-time cost: compiler needs to generate code for landing pads all over the place, this code must be optimized, etc.

- has a code-size cost: the landing pads must be generated in the binary,

- has a usability cost: users can't reason about their programs if they can't reason about where functions can return and what they can return

- has a teachability cost: users have to be taught _a lot_ about how to use exceptions properly because of their cost. Herb Sutter has a whole damn series of books, a series of damn books, about how to use exceptions properly and avoid their pitfalls. When you need a series of books to explain 1 single feature of your programming language, that feature is _wrong_. And writing and reading these books has a huge cost.

Exceptions are as free as Google or Facebook. You can use them for free as long as you gift them your soul so that they can sell it for profit.

I sometimes wonder how much our language influences our behavior.

There are clearly somewhat distinct sensations that in my English-riddled mind all resolve to ‘hunger’. Then in my head i think ‘hmm, I’m hungry’ and so i do what i do when I’m ‘hungry’. I think this is what leads to me those curious moments where I’m standing in front of the refrigerator trying to remember how I got there.

I’ve recently started using ’snacky’ when i have that desire to crunch on something salty. As dumb as it sounds it has helped me ride it out vs mindlessly grabbing something from the pantry.

> JET’s latest experiment sustained a Q of 0.33 for 5 seconds, says Rimini. JET is a scaled-down version of ITER, at one-tenth of the volume — a bathtub compared to a swimming pool, says Proll. It loses heat more easily than ITER, so it was never expected to hit breakeven. If engineers applied the same conditions and physics approach to ITER as to JET, she says, it would probably reach its goal of a Q of 10, producing ten times the energy put in.

"If engineers applied the same conditions and physics..."

"...probably reach its goal of a Q of 10..."

So casually thrown about!

>If there was no Nord Stream Putin wouldn't be able to invade without Baltic States, Poland and Ukraine shutting down the gas trade with western Europe. Which is a big part of Russian budget.

This is an easily testable theory. It would take 2-3 small boats and some explosives, <$100K budget, to cripple Nord Stream 1.
I think yes.

So in 2008 when he attacked Georgia back then Polish president Lech told such thing: "first Georgia, then Ukraine then baltic states, then maybe our country". Maybe he read it right and in 2010 it was assassination like some suspect and not "an accident".

IMO lots of EU parties are in Russian pocket and this is nothing good.

This is dark scenario but if they got deal with China, we are all fucked. They will make mess in EU so they can focus on East Asia/Middle East. US is overleveraged and once oil != $ is done.

I remember that the introduction of the new WebExtension API to replace the existing extension system was heavily criticized.
The old system gave extensions deep access to the browser and the new extension API (copied over from the Chrome browser) was seen as a limiting dumbing down.

It was a painful transition but very much needed. Now extensions don't clash with one another. The browser code can be modified more freely without impacting extensions and it is possible to implement features such as sandboxing.
