We don't even need rumors here. Now that Putin has invaded Ukraine, an invasion of Sweden will trigger boots, planes and vessels be sent from the USA and most European countries.

Being part of NATO make it automatic. But Sweden would just have to ask for help.

At first news of invasion, the USA, the UK, France (e.g. 3 nuclear powers) and most other EU countries will start prepare, awaiting for the Sweden to call.

Fighters would be up in the air, patrolling along Sweden territory, ready to act immediately.

Anyway, that won't happen soon. The Ukraine war is far from over ; it's likely to turn into a guerilla with money and weapons provided by the West. Ukrainians will come and be trained to guerilla warfare by the Eu countries and Russia will bleed.

As large as the Russian army is, it can't control a rebellious country of 50M people. Some Ukrainians will join the Russians for sure, and most of the population will turn a blind eye, enabling the guerilla. The more the Russians react by punishing civilians trough indiscriminate shootings or mailings, the more recruits will join the guerrilla.

This is going to be bloody for both sides. Ukrainians have tasted enough democracy and freedom for long enough to go back to an authoritian regime like Putin's or a dictatorship like Belarus.

This could cause Putin to turn into an overt dictator in its own country. It will work for a while. And then he'll fall. That will be painful for all the peoples concerned: Ukraine, Belarus, Russia.
This is awesome, saving for later
The danger is mostly for themselves. Bringing tiny amounts of dust with them is not a huge problem. However, having alpha emitters in your lung and intestines because you breathed, drank and ate in a contaminated environment is a death sentence.
There are many incremental improvements that can make a small difference, but in my opinion the most important thing is to optimize your environment first and foremost.

One of the most effective strategies I've learned isn't necessarily cheap, but it works: Get two computers. One is your work computer. You only work on it. One is your play computer. You only play on it. If you struggle with self-control, use extensions to block or limit your time on sites like HN, Reddit, Twitter, and others on the work computer.

For me, physically moving between the two computers helps reinforce the separation. If visiting HN is an alt-tab away, it's easy to drift off when there's a lull in work or I have to wait for a compile. If I have to actually get up and move to waste time, I will put deliberate thought into it and, most of the time, not do it.

If you have the space, creating a separate home office that is in a different room from your play computer is golden. That's a lot to ask, obviously.

For a more accessible alternative, consider isolating your distracting activities to only your phone. That's what I do most of the time. I only use the phone distractions while I'm walking, which helps wake me up in the process.
Staying hydrated makes a big difference.
I think the parent comment means there’s kit that could be given to the Ukrainians that’s way better than what the Russians have without having to worry about bigger things like shoulder fired missiles a la Afghanistan in the 80s.

Selective untar into a FIFO pipe. Not optimal in this case but you can work around the limitation with some extra work. I'd rather do this than expose some 0-day due to odd combination of rarely used libraries.
Excellent read and some of these tactics would be still applicable in urban settings but the Russian army is in a very different state than in the 90s, early 2000s.

Although I ponder how you could defend against RPGs launched from a skyscraper or high rise.

Especially, definately, also DDL (where possible). There are only few DDL statements that cannot be run transactionally (most of which is [CREATE / RE]INDEX CONCURRENTLY), but the rest of DDL can best be tested before committing to the result, especially when migrating between versioned schemas: you don't want half-applied migrations.

They already have that. The war is not about that.

Russia winning this war will not mean peace and stability, free of foreign control to Ukrainians.

Lions Mane mycelium
Russia started a war because it has the means to do so. This is not new, Russia has ongoing wars since many years. Ukraine since 2014, troops in Syria, Georgia…

Now the scale of the conflicts got larger and Russia attacked a country with >40M inhabitants.

Russia will not stop with wars until it looses its means to do so.

Russia has a big pile of money they earn by exporting oil and gas to Europe. 50% of their trade volume is directed to Europe. I would bet Russia needs that money to sustain its military spendings. Maybe not in one single year but over a longer period of time, let’s say 10 years. With other words: Europe paid for the war with Ukraine.

There may be other countries as well that do not care about human rights but export a lot of goods to Europe or industrial countries in general.

Imho the right thing to do would be to implement an automatism that penalties undesired behaviour of trade partners. Not specifically for Russia but for all countries that do not behave well.

One easy means to achieve this would be a taxation system based on the compliance with regard to a well defined set of human rights standards.

Example:

- suppression of the opposition: 10% tax rate on imports from that country.

- no free press: another 10% tax rate

- full scale war with neighbouring state: 50% tax rate for the next 20 years.

As the tax rate is selectively applied, source countries that behave well have an economic benefit compared to countries that don’t behave well.

Applied to Russia and the Eu this would have the following consequences:

1. the cost base of exports from Russia to the eu would increase by the given tax rate if they decide ship to the eu.

2. Russia could ship somewhere else. but as their total addressable market shrinks they will earn less even if they ship to china or any other sufficiently large market without such a tax. Thus they have less money to spend for militaria anyway.

3. Energy would be more expensive for Europeans. This will speed up the migration to other sources of energy and reduce the consumption. It will also cause a recession, but so what. It’s only money lost.

4. Other producing countries may invest as well in energy infrastructure as the increased cost base makes investments more lucrative

Even if the economic consequences in the short term are dire, in the longer term the market will regulate that very well.

Also: going to a bloody war with Russia will for sure be worse that a 2..5year recession. For any industrialised country it would be much worse to loose let’s say 100k productive inhabitants compared with loosing some billions of the local currency.

The Russians know. They are not stupid. Also, more than half of all of Russia's army has been concentrated along the border. There is no way they were thinking they were going to a picnic.
Primarily roads and solid surfaces through the area allows Russians an easier way to invade in order to murder innocent Ukrainians.
Basically meditated, emptied my mind by writing down any tasks I'm procrastinating or ruminating on, identified the fears behind them, set a goal, did a quick exercise and then just did it in 50 minute chunks, but with the phone completely off, any windows in single focus and most importantly with the camera on and 10 people watching (== not really watching but doing their own tasks).

Had a pretty sizeable psychological effect though.

I used to do sessions with FocusMate before which worked, but in a bit of a hit & miss. Key differences to this workshop was the length (blocking half a day, uninterrupted) and the guidance through it, taking away brain cycles for managing.

Still a bit unsure how to fully replicate that experience on my own, but just experiening that someone was able to trigger this kind of focus in me, on a dreaded task, on demand, had a profound effect in me to go try it again.
There is also (last I looked, in Berlin) a double digit percentage tax on electrical power usage. Not sure what the tax is on gas, because my building didn't have it.
Thank you. “Breakaway” would have been a better choice, yes. In that the lineage is there but they are incompatible.
That might work in 1950. Nobody is bum rushing a modern tank. Well someone might, but they ain't living to talk about it. Modern tanks are too well integrated with mechanized infantry and their visibility is too good to be surprised by a man delivered explosive device. I mean you might get away with it in downtown Fallujah where you only need to rush 10yd but it'll take you three dozen bodies trying before you get a single mobility kill.

You wanna kill a modern tank, plant an IED in the street and wait.
Fair, but if the US pulls the trigger on SWIFT censorship, that may not be completely destructive, and will only incentivize further expansion of the SPFS network to make the SWIFT attack less powerful next time.
Also a lawyer taking these cases is the kiss of death for future cases in a judges court room, which means no future clients will use that lawyer. The judge has all the power, and lawyers can not afford to alienate them. No one ever considers that power dynamic. All a judge has to do it let it be tacitly known a lawyer will not win in his court room and that lawyer is done.

I am getting really uncomfortable posting now.
Hypothetically speaking, these could also make sense to have available if you'd fear that your enemy might stoop so low as to use video/photographic content of the fallen to harass their friends and families.
(going off-topic, talking about language)

>So it should be blocked. Upd: many commenters here clearly misread my comment, or maybe it's my poor English. "It should be blocked" means that it is in Putin's interest to block it, but better under some pretext. I am personally in a very sharp opposition to Putin's criminal syndicate.

It's ambiguous, but I definitely think most English-speakers read a sentence like "So X should happen" to mean the speaker is prescribing an action they agree with. If I was writing about what I expected another group to do while avoiding implying I agreed with their logic or was trying to raise support for the action happening, I'd phrase it without the word "should" like "so it makes sense for them to do it".

It might be reading too far into this, but this makes me very curious what differences there may be between languages and cultures in how they talk about "should", their expectations, and their own values vs other groups' values. I wonder if it's common for a sentence meaning "bad outcome X is likely [for others to do]" to be mistranslated into something read as "we should support making outcome X more likely, [it's really not so bad]".
They are working as puppets for the Russians so they're essentially Russian invaders for the 90% estimation.

I would never use it but this feels like a common issue in general which is trading convenience for privacy and security.

This happens with a lot of choices. Smartphone vs flip phone, using an Alexa or similar device vs not, etc..

A fully offline Grammarly would be a really nice app to have. I'd pay something like $49 a year to have access to that if it worked really well and was kept up to date. The hard part is "really well", it's so much more than detecting spelling errors with a Vim plugin. At the same time I have a feeling the "goodness" of a tool like this is only because of how much data it can harvest to train its algorithms and models which makes me think it won't happen until accurate models are in the public domain.
Not even Trump "has actually taken Putin's side".
I'm not the parent, and I consider the people of Russia to be a separate entity from their government.

But, how do you see Putin getting pushed out of power, other than by the Russian people? If it is required that the Russian people push him out, is it not logical that they must be motivated, with the assumption that sanctions would not be required if they were already motivated enough?

I'm trying to understand all of this, and I appreciate your opinion/perspective.

Comes as a shock, it seems that Ukraine has been sold out. Key passage: "As Hosuk Lee-Makiyama, the head of the European Centre for International Political Economy, said, Europe has allowed itself to become more integrated with Russia, while Russia has separated itself from Europe.
He said EU countries owned a combined €300bn of Russian assets that would be vulnerable to confiscation if a full-blooded financial war broke out. The UK owns billions more via firms such as BP, which has a near-20% stake in the Russian oil company Rosneft.

“Sanctions are one of the few options that European countries have in a conflict situation like this. If you disconnect North Korea or Iran from the international financial system, you do not expose yourself to that much damage.”

Speaking on BBC News, he added: “But while I don’t say it is impossible to envisage Russia being barred from the Swift system, it is a nuclear option that means you exterminate yourself along with your enemy.”"
I hear clever and I think of the scene from Fight Club. Clever is not something good.

There are several videos about that incident because it happend right next to another incident where a military truck got ambushed and the personal was killed. Those were wearing Ukrainian uniforms. I'd really like to know whose tank that was (seems to have been Ukrainian) and who steered it and why it crashed into the car. Might actually have been an attempt to avoid a perceived attack instead of intentional.

Totally OT, but I was wondering why you are writing years in 5 digits? :D
Truth right here. Keep your head up brother!
Yeah, because satisfying shareholders is more important than providing a quality service. Entropy exists even in digital systems. Maintenance is a must, and the easiest thing to overlook is the people who use your services (providing them value) when the people who pay for the value the users provide as the ones putting money in your bank account.

It's too easy to forget that if you do not take care of the users, they will leave and take the payers with them. Right now it's hard to escape Google.

But a little river carved the Grand Canyon, and as more people leave the services and provide easy to use alternatives, more people will follow. My guess is that, even though it might take 20 years if Google does not redirect their focus to be more equilaterally supportive of their users then Google will inevitably become a modern Yahoo.
Where do you find those videos? On Twitter?
I think it's unrealistic for any engineer to remain highly proficient in many of those things simultaneously. I use AWS day-to-day, but haven't used GCP day-to-day in 5+ years - should I realistically be able to keep abreast of the vast number of GCP changes that have happened over that time (plus all the changes in devops that make the workflows I was using 10 years ago look outdated)? Many projects don't need Websockets or Eventsource - do I have to keep that knowledge top-of-mind across the years that I don't use them? Can you really claim that you're "very familiar" with that web framework that you used two jobs ago - assuming there haven't been a bunch of major changes since then? I guess my point here is that proficiency teaches you some knowledge, but perhaps more importantly it provides you with context, guidance and direction when picking up new stuff (or catching up on old stuff).
I found that using different programming languages takes a lots of immersion.

Otherwise you find yourself (ferinstance) writing Python syntax but using C idioms. In other words, you aren't really programming in Python, but in Python-flavored C, and not using the proper idiosyncratic Python idioms which can only be absorbed by long experience in Python programming.

Using techniques that will not affect those who caused the war, while severely punishing those who are not involved in the war (simply because of where they live), will not help the situation, it will make it worse.

I have watched the video.

The US universities are today full of Marxist propagandists. Left wing politicians who visited and defended socialist dictatorships are elected and reelected. Many tonight shows enjoy calling anyone who disagrees with them the "alt right". This is consistent with Marxist propaganda coming from Americans themselves. The US media pretends there is no burning buildings behind them and call protests 'peaceful'. That is very similar to the idea that people will ignore burning evidence right in front of their eyes. If you make obvious statements about basic biology that contradicts the current insanity you are going to be cancelled. (Again ignoring evidence)

Th US is incredibly divided. People who disagree with the left are consistently called Nazis and yelled down. If you are going to make an event with people that disagree with the left protesters will physically stop you from getting in.

Where do you think putin took that "attacking neonazis" from? Calling your opponent a Nazi to justify taking them down has been a constant political tool in the west
> A "full-stack engineer" should be very familiar with...

That person doesn't exist, gradient or not. There's no way for someone to be "very familiar" with so many different domains at the same time. By the time you gain familiarity with all the domains, the information you initially learned will be out of date or you will have forgotten.

Also, full-stack colloquially refers to someone who can work on frontend and backend.
Ah, but they covered those contingencies in the article. Multiple teams, a machine gunner on the team to take out infantry, channelized environments with e.g. basement cover, and location research.
