So what happens when we try to airdrop something and an S-400 blows the plane out of the sky? Are we really going to expect that Russia will allow such interference? Would the West have allowed Russia to airdrop supplies to Iraq during the Iraq War in 2003.
Russia has plenty of new artillery and arms. They have been building up a couple of decades. This is a tiny percentage of what they have waiting in the wings.
No guarantees yet that it won't, but this article isn't about any escalation. This is just details about providing US forces for the NATO response force, in NATO countries around Ukraine.

I still have a collection of older CDJs. A lot of my friends bought into the CDJ100s, but I abhorred those decks. Coming from vinyl, they just did not have a feel that felt good at all. Once the CDJ1000s came out, I finally felt that the decks had a feel that didn't feel gross. If you've never been a vinyl DJ, it's really hard to describe what it was that just wasn't right. The CDJs just felt light, cheap, plasticy, etc. Everyone felt this way, and that's why they kept changing until they got closest with the CDJ1000 and later.

To this day, I still prefer to play vinyl. There's just something about putting your hands directly on the medium. Yes, needles, scratches, pops, dust, all degrade the sound blah blah, but I still love it regardless.
Erdogan is probably a better analogy but we'll see how long that lasts.
Depends on the construction. I bet Victorian brick and timber houses would be fine, since they're well ventilated throughout the structure, and were not intended to be intensively heated.
The tabula algorithm clusters text or looks for lines bordering cells. The text-clustering is hit or miss. For lines, with the standard alternating-row shading (and no lines), tabula only picks up the shaded text.

I code my personal projects in Common Lisp because I like the language and because the code I write today will likely execute without modification 20 years from now.
Perhaps we could invite them to be a 51st US state instead. Unfortunately, I imagine this would upset the awkward but stable status quo, not unlike the upset from Ukraine joining NATO.
As a Symbian and Windows Mobile user at the time let’s not kid ourselves. Those smartphones and PDAs were in some aspects far superior (high res screens, cameras, 3G, apps, etc) but the software was junk if compared to the iPhone, especially browsers. I did like my HTC Diamond though (which came after the iPhone)
Well of course they weren't running it at iPhone level performance.

First because the device and the software hadn't been optimised for each other.

And second, the fact that iPhone OS was not a "full blown" Unix OS is precisely why it _did_ have that performance on otherwise reasonably similar Samsung ARM hardware (better specs but not, you know, alien technological advance stuff).

The point is that there is this tradeoff. Developers who'd squeezed full multitasking Linux into phones would have been well aware of the kind of performance they'd see without multitasking and without a BSD subsystem.

FWIW Jim Gettys' handhelds.org project was demonstrating -- years earlier -- pretty impressive Linux GUI performance on much earlier hardware that had been only modestly adjusted for it [0]. Including for example tilt-sensitivity.

Those who knew about those projects could see that Apple had likely benefited enormously from seeing what was being done, and had decided to make an OS profile for iPhone that prioritised single-app performance with a sizeable slice of OS X.

Very often the food is a factory-made package (think yogurt/milk carton rather than a broccoli), so there's absolutely no difference in that case. Personally I never buy vegetables like this.
Most software that I use regularly which does color output does it well, and it's probably a net benefit for me.

But sometimes software that I use irregularly, or only in specific circumstances, does it poorly, and it's a real pita. I've had occasions where I missed entire pieces of output because they rendered as the background color for some reason. So for those cases it'd be nice to have a universal switch, so to speak, to just turn it off.

I also get that for some people it's just an aesthetic choice... I don't think color is _that_ helpful that someone would be impaired by not having it.

All that said, this proposal reminds me of that one xkcd with the 13 competing standards.

Ask HN: Is it possible to cut Russia off the internet?
Russia have been bad actors for a long time now and the reason why they're pulling off the Ukraine invasion is purely through their propaganda being pushed through the internet.

Since ipv6 and DNSSEC never took off, it should be possible to shove them off the Internet:

* Create a DNS black hole for all Russian IP addresses.

* Add all and every Russian and Russian related websites to ad-blockers and Pi-Hole.

* Modify every router to ignore or re-route every traffic around or away from Russia.

* Block all Russian state media and websites on every DNS resolver and ad-block.

* (If possible) Physically cut cables or just turn off physical routers that have any connection to Russia or Russian allies.

I know that people are going to think I'm crazy but you forget how the Internet works: It's a cooperative system and is only as good as long as people are willing to support it.

I know that the Internet was designed to be resilient but the really it isn't. It only takes the effort of a handful of people to shut it down. Isn't it about time we took Russia off the internet?
It's literally the law in the US that you can always discuss your salary with your coworkers. Companies sometimes don't understand this, forbid it in writing, and get slapped down by the NLRB.
A really good way to heat yourself up fast is to drink tea or soup a hot beverage. Personally I don't really like wearing coats for some reason, they're uncomfortable and they don't heat me up as well. The inverse is true as well: a cold drink will help you cool off in hot weather.
>likely but it's an open secret at this point that nato is non-reciprocally sharing intel with ukraine, this is completely unprecendted. look at intelligence aircraft signalling their presence on ads-b, including forte11/12 drones in the black sea - ukrainians are getting data from them, no other explanation for their effectiveness - they seem to be aware of every move of russian forces, every inbound airstrike, etc.

Oh for sure. so many awacs and global hawks in the air. This 'ghost of kyiv' ace without question had downlink or at least specific real time intel to know exactly how to put himself on their 6.

Ironically, the russian media denies the ghost of kyiv exists. says the footage is all DCS. Frankly it's impossible given so many different points of view. The best argument they can really say is that its more than 1 pilot. But the first reality of nato intel is far more plausible.
Look on Youtube- the power and internet are still on. There are live streams still.
Maybe, just maybe the Russian accent, but Yakov Smirnoff was universally loved, so it’s not like Eastern European = evil.

I would agree that in general “foreign accent” had certain connotations, but I would challenge any average North American to identify a Russian vs Polish vs Yugoslavian accent.

And maybe my take is because I’m from a part of North American that was pretty much settled by Eastern Europeans? I mean they were most of the farmers back in the early 1900’s.
This surprised me, so I checked. Moscow + St. Petersburg metro areas are 25+ million. They're actually 17% of the population, which is still pretty low considering their importance; Moscow's GDP alone is listed as $1 trillion, while Russia as a whole is $1.48 trillion. So the 20 million people in Moscow hold a lot more power, relatively, than the far-scattered 120 million
Stalin wrote a lot of history after his victories. Yet he had to close his borders because everybody wanted to get out.

This is exactly the problem with newer design and construction philosophy. Its premise is that we will use mechanical systems, and then try to make these mechanical systems more efficient such as improving insulation, using multi-stage condensers for the AC, etc. This is epitomized in the passive house concept.

In contrast the older philosophy is that natural ventilation is good enough, so we design houses to improve that, such as strategic placement of windows to allow cross ventilation, use high ceilings to allow heat to rise, etc.

The original article is squarely in the second camp.

I've learned a lot about US climates and their notion of ventilation, here at the comments I got.

I hope you guys also have found interesting that, in some other parts of the globe, ventilation and air cooling are two very interconnected concepts. And also that, in climates like ours, relying solely on AC while not taking advantage of the cooling properties of moving air masses means waste of energy.
You could go for a fancy money transfer option. Western Union, Ria or transfer wise would be options at the top of my head. If those get shut down as well it is likely that continued business with Russians would be in violation of sanctions anyways so you might want to consult a lawyer.

Alternatively you could just mail the money there. As in, put it in a letter and hand it to your national postal service. That said, this is not possible in all countries and sometimes restrictions apply that may make this unusable.

That said, if you are hellbent on continuing to use that contractor crypto is an option. I recommend something more modern and easy to use than Bitcoin though.

Acqua dolce in Italian is literally sweet water opposed to acqua salata, salt water.

I agree that the 2 groups are often very distinct (though I have been almost hit by speeding delivery bikes only too often as any Dutchie would complain about).

Presumably people in the US National Guard are also trained:

> Guard soldier killed in tragic accidental shooting by roommate, fellow Guardsman

* https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2022/02/02/guard-so...

The use of the word "accident" in the above story is also not accurate IMHO, for the same reason why "car accident" isn't:

> The two groups behind the recent campaign — Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe Streets — argue that the term "accident" makes it seem like crashes are inevitable, rather than preventable. In a subtle way, it normalizes the crash and discourages us from looking more deeply into their causes — whether alcohol, reckless driving, or bad street design.

* https://www.vox.com/2015/7/20/8995151/crash-not-accident

Certainly the training they got during service is good, but the GP's point about not much training being needed isn't as simple as he makes it out IMHO.

You sub contract out hardware assemblies (and software) when you start feeling market pressure and your cost has grown to be competitive.
Then you find, as a prime contractor, that you are still responsible for the product. You still have to maintain expertise. And, to keep the vendors in line you have to be able to at least threaten to bring the work back in house. All of this greatly reduces the cost advantage.
Now days, the concept is "only sub out work that is done better than you can do; where better includes technical performance".
“When do you enlist?” is the ultimate skin in the game test. It’s amazing how quiet things get when you ask that question, whether we’re talking about Iraq / Afghanistan 20 years ago or this conflict now.

Nonsense. There is already about equal distance to Moscow from Latvia, a Nato and EU member, as there is from Ukraine. Despite, Ukraine was not really ever even close to Nato membership to start with. Western political alignment is completely separate from military alignment, although Putin has now made it absolutely clear these must go hand in hand for those sovereign countries he consider's "Russian vassal states."
Our air masses are probably cooler than yours because of the sea, I'm not sure. There seems to be more factors in operation.
I think it is far from over. The fact that the Starlink service is activated, is a huge step. Likely someone has dishes already there. From West Europe to Ukraine is anywhere from half hour to 6 to 10 hour drive. Setup is 10 minutes. All you need is 100watt power. That sounds like useful help to me.
That's not the main thing. Ukraine was edging to the EU.

Without Ukraine, Russian naval fleet would become worthless as it can't leave the black sea anymore.
Reminds me of when my mother had her kitchen renovated. When they removed the lathe & plaster, you could see the road clearly, right through all the slats. From outside they look tight, but they are anything but.
An alternative is heating panels that emit long IR. These allow you to maintain a lower air temperature and still be comfortable when they're shining on you.
I don't think it matters who's at fault, I think Google should allow the user to extract all their data even after account termination, would be fine if they charged a reasonable fee even.

I support free speech. I will fight misinformation with facts and argumentation. Not with censorship.

If a media of any kind starts to filter what I can see, I will loose trust in that media. Being blind to the opposing side, and being stuck in a bubble where everyone agrees with me is the perfect place for misinformation to spread.

> And political posts and comments on HN are everywhere

There is a difference between "i think that ... because ..." (expressing yourself) and "we should censor/attack/cancel ... because they are the bad guys" (propaganda).
I would disagree with new houses not considering ventilation. There are set building standards (ASHRAE 62.1, 62.2, and ISO standards) that have been around for a while that specify how ventilated spaces should be for given use cases. There’s a more recent trend to evolve these standards to take into consideration non-hazardous levels of particulate matter and gases that still show cognitive impairment—-I’m currently exploring this topic area for my PhD work.

What we’re seeing, though, are tighter building envelopes so that the structure is thermally efficient. However, with a tighter envelope, active/natural ventilation systems becomes even more important than in older structures where there is some rate of natural air exchange with the exterior through building cracks and terrible (by todays standards) windows.

There are companies coming up that are looking at “Personal Comfort Systems” and there is a fair amount of active research in this area (ex., https://cbe.berkeley.edu/research/personal-comfort-system/). It’s an interesting space since you have essentially two knobs to play with: (1) a persons actual heat exchange with the environment and (2) a persons perceived heat exchange.

Even if they can afford it, it still defies rational behavior to pay 6 figures for an american programmer when they're "fungible" with indian programmers making $9/hr. I'm sure a FAANG programmer "extracts more value" from a $20 cup of coffee than it costs. That doesn't mean it's not highly unusual/irrational behavior, considering that other coffee shops charge a few bucks for a cup.

The counter-argument is that, often, it's more effective to coopt your opponent rather than to fight him. I reckon that giving them NS2 would have avoided this war - at worst they'd have taken just the Donbass like they took Crimea.

I agree, bombing labs from the air doesn't warrant boots on the ground, so it's obviously not the full explanation. I shared the hypothesis because grandparent comment asked what other reason there could be - this was one.
Microsoft was shipping PDAs (of which iPhone is an evolution of) since the 90s. I had a Casio E-95. It's about the same size as an iphone. It has a single button below the display at the bottom (same place as the home button on the original iPhone). It's home screen has a grid of 3x4 icons for apps (similar to an iPhone's 4x5 grid). What it doesn't have, it doesn't have capacitive touchscreen, it has resistive so it used a stylus, though I used my fingernail often). It doesn't have cellular service (but plenty did before iPhone shipped). Its UX is not optimized for touch as much as iOS. But it runs an OS, Win-CE, on a PDA so I'm not sure anything needed to be rearchitected rather than just deprecate the desktop UI widgets for more touch friendly alternatives (yea I know that's easier said than done but it's a tiny part of an OS vs all the rest).

Also I'm not under any delusion that MS would have gotten it right. The same reasoning that led them to do the minimal changes from Windows -> Windows CE would have likely always been a drag on them fully embracing letting go and making the necessary changes.
If anyone has tried this on arch I'd love to hear your experience... I've got a home server sitting in my living room that looks bored.
> Much simpler than webauthn.

Having recently had to upgrade from u2f to webauthn, the complexity involved in getting webauthn right cannot be understated, especially when comparing it to something like OTP.

This flow seems simpler but more annoying for the end-user, right? They would have to generate the signed message themselves and then paste it into the browser. Whereas with webauthn you just touch your security key.
Don't most terminal themes map colors such that they're all mostly legible? And if not, wouldn't it be trivial to change yellow to an orange or brown?

As a rule, I don't see any reason why a terminal theme should have any color that is illegible on its background. That feels like a problem with the theme more than with the program running on it.

In many places, even on a warm summer day the pool may be uncomfortably cold. Lots of thermal inertia, and if it's shaded at all it may not get enough solar energy to warm up. Without a heater the swimming season can be very short indeed.

Also, it's pretty darn awesome to fire up the pool once a year in the winter, like for Christmas, and host a swimming-in-the-snow party. Wouldn't want to keep it heated, but for a couple days it's not too bad.
