Hi, author here. While this is on the front page, a couple of updates regarding migra that you might be interested in:

- Development slowed on migra for a quite a while, but I've recently returned to active development, and we also have some new maintainers coming on board - so some longstanding bugfixes and feature requests will finally get the attention they need.

- If you're interested in migra and better database workflows, you/your employer might also like migra's associated paid offering, https://databaseci.com/, which offers flexible subsetting for postgres databases </plug>
Frankly, I wonder if the Ukraine plans were laid with the assumption of a second Trump term, and they decided to just go ahead anyways. The US response seems likely to have been... very different if he was still in power.
They can drink and hide and wait for the other Russian oligarchs whose wealth is being seriously threatened to remove their foolish leader and stop the idiotic war. That is more sensible than risking your life to kill your neighbor, all for the benefit of nothing but making a little man feel powerful.
Upon further thought, without arguing what the words mean, it would make sense that PayPal would be using a browser since the entire UI is basically the mobile site
also invasion troops are getting out of supply quickly too.
Eh, depends on where you live. I was surprised, for example, to find out the abysmal state of insulation in New Zealand. Only in the last five decades have Kiwis had decent insulation standards -- for new construction. Homes from before that time often remain without adequate insulation -- and it gets cold throughout much of New Zealand!

Many new Japanese homes are uninsulated, with the residents using "heat the person" techniques like a kotatsu to keep warm.
But are you writing your niche language in a niche language? Or even better, self-hosted in your niche language itself? :)

Just curious: what’s your niche language called?
Yeah, intentionally is not allowed, you are supposed to try for a clean kill. Doing so is as you point out difficult.
Didn't even seem to be that critical from what I gather he (16th richest man) got expropriated and thrown in jail for starting Open Russia Foundation whose mission was "to foster enhanced openness, understanding and integration between the people of Russia and the rest of the world", and I guess for "fund[ing] Internet cafés in the provinces, to get people to talk to one another. He funded training sessions for journalists all over the country. [In 1994] He established a boarding school for disadvantaged children and pulled his own parents out of retirement to run it. By some estimates, he was supporting half of all non-governmental organizations in Russia, by others, he was funding 80 percent of them."

I get that doesn't fly in an totalitarian state, but it seems like a far-cry from being an outright revolutionary like a Navalny. Man's got an interesting perspective from which to tweet about this whole mess (wish Twitter had an auto-translate feature rather than clickityclicking one by one).

How much battery storage do you have? What does that cost these days?
This is like a drunk ex bursting into your apartment, smashing furniture and demanding that you stop seeing that new boyfriend. Not a winning strategy by any means.
I've never worked in Aerospace. The best corporate workplace I've ever worked in (in terms of development culture) had a role that was somewhat akin to a developer's advocate. I can't recall its actual name now though. This person served as the most senior engineer in the department, and was responsible for the delivery of all engineering projects. They were given considerable latitude to uphold good development practices, even when it would conflict with senior management's priorities, and expectations. In my time there, I saw this manager constantly throw his hat into the ring, making the case for the right technical decisions against upper management. I've never worked in another workplace that had such a role, or such a person doing it. It was very early on in my career, and it unfortunately set a very high expectation for corporate software engineering culture that has never been met since.
Fair. But presumably if you're doing that you're also specifying a good background color.
> Btw, just say your from Germany already.

Why would I do that?
Agreed. If they did not have limited time, economic pressure, internal division, domestic unrest, disheartened soldiers... there's no question Russia would win. But they do have all those things working against them.

I fear though that the authoritarian state doesn't have the capacity to rationally analyze the prognosis and cut their sunk costs (both economic and political).
And yet startups / tech companies are adored by at least some influential market players and they waste vast amounts of cash on "scaling".

You do have a point to be considered I just don't think it's enough by itself.
I think you’re right but they really need to update the description for this
I actually agree with you. Stan Grant's language here is loose and could be reasonably seen as deceptive. I will complain to the editor.
Because the hurt suffer a lot. Getting through life missing a leg is not pleasant. Also dozens risk their life saving a down but alive friend, while you will leave the dead until it is safe
I have no idea at all about the thinking of the people involved in the actual decision making and I'm pretty sure anything I read about Joe Biden or Vlad Putin in this regard is propaganda that should not be trusted. So let's take an angle that leaves them out.

There's a nuclear "exchange", maybe it's one way, that doesn't involve my country. Why would I want to get my country involved in that exchange? That seems to go from utterly terrible tragedy that is almost as bad as can be imagined to so, so much worse for so many more people. In fact it takes it to every bit as bad as possible. Given that reality, how much deterrent are they unless it's mutually assured destruction?

"Is this something for which the only option is to end current human civilization?" Nasty things to think about.
And it's not like they don't have the capability: the Google Takeout service packages up substantially all of your data on Google services in an archive for download.
One big factor is that many renewables are "many smaller instead of one huge construction".

E.g. many wind turbines instead of one huge power plant.

This means that adaption over time can happen much faster and can potentially happen during the implementations of larger long term projects (e.g. huge off shore wind farms).

It also means prototyping cost tends to be cheaper and it can be easier adopted by smaller groups instead of needing larger consensus.

While I used wind turbines as an example it's also true for many other aspects like Geo-termal power, solar energy, solar powered water heating, etc.

Even some classically "huge" projects like dams have smaller (micro) versions by now which as far as I can tell advance much faster in technology (often technology about micro-dams having less negative effects on the small-river they are build into, wrt. to fish but also sediment movement).

Add to this that research on many of the renewable energies is ongoing since quite a long time and that increasingly more people and countries realize the importance it's not too surprising I think.
Iraq invasion started on March 19 and Baghdad was formally occupied on April 9. If you look at the timeline, they were fighting over the airports close to the city just days before the city was occupied. Russia looks already to be encircling Kyiv and making attempts to gain control of the analogous airports.
Many doesn’t mean most, just a non-insignificant minority.
What Is a Script?
I’ve been following this closely and I haven’t seen any mention of non-Ukrainian forces in the country. Seems like pure speculation?
If you read the article, it’s clearly stated that the outsourced work was not related to MCAS. It was display software and flight-test software.
Nim.

Think of hybrid Pascal + Python, pretty nice standard library, can be compiled into an executable.

As much as I admire functional programming, my brain still mostly think in procedural.
Hopefully this turns out better for Kyiv then it did for Grozny...
Putin's whimsy. No other reason, no rational nation state with complex motivations lurking in the machinery of decision. This is 100% Putin with a wild hair up his ass, wanting to return Russia to a semblance of its soviet territories.
Presumably, they meant courting Ukraine for NATO membership.

How would the US react if, for example, China were planning to station troops and equipment in Canada?

(I’m not trying to justify Putin’s actions here; just trying to understand the perspective).
Which country is trying to change its ways? In the last 20 years we have destroyed or severely impacted Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, contributed to the rise of ISIS and Boko Haram and Muslim Brotherhood, having an effect countless small tribes like Yezidis, and that’s just the middle east, 3000 miles away
Yes, many people argue that they function better in the cold. That very well may be true. People's metabolism and feelings are very different.

That's taking about what's generally accepted. The body of literature in this field defines a "comfort zone" that spans around and above 20°C. it's been studied that with better comfort there is better attention. Also being cold appears to weaken the immune system.
Credible competition.
My cousin got banned and my colleagues got banned few years back. The colleagues were banned because they used a common laptop computer and google terminates any associated accounts if one of them is suspended. I can provide screenshots and assure you that Google terminates because their algorithm determines a person to be risk. Almost always its someone reporting you or some financial issue.

Few years back they banned users who failed to use Google Wallet and had Paypal, they also banned users who sold their dev edition pixel.

Recently they banned youtube users who watched the live stream of Russian invasion. Check the threads here https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/

They were unbanned after a huge ruckus but thousands of cases which fail to bring any attention are just banned for life and all data (gmail, payment, drive, photos etc) are all gone in the morning.
Many(?) tools support --color=always.
So you can't and won't answer my question then.

Obama was no Putin. Shades of gray exist. Not every bad act is as bad as another.
There's been some groups raising independent fighting forces in Syria and Chechnya, but I don't think they've gotten to Ukraine yet. Ukraine has been actively recruiting Westerners who have been willing to fight since 2014 as well.
(1) I'm assuming nothing. In the context of the quote, Mearsheimer was directly stating the impossibility of an invasion of Ukraine by Russia. He has said as much on multiple occasions since. He was wrong. Period. Much of his political theorizing around Russia goes out the window with that assumption. For example, The West arming Ukraine was inarguably correct at this point. Ukraine is using those weapons to defend their sovereignty as we speak. Did that heighten tensions? I guess. Does blocking your face when someone punches you heighten tensions? I guess. Stating as much isn't exactly novel.

(2) Agreed. Keep an eye on Russian currency markets come Monday. Between removal from SWIFT and freezing central Russian bank assets, significantly painful sanctions are ramping up. The conflict has only been ongoing for 4 days.

(3) Agreed. It's ridiculous.
Intel and AMD stop supplying microchips to Russia
> there are proxy operators in the theatre.

Maybe, however, it’s more likely that Russia’s military is less competently run than previously thought. I wouldn’t be surprised if intel was being shared with Ukraine and weapons definitely are being shared.
Very soon I'll expect to see China put to the test, are they siding with Ukraine or not.

That means cutting off Russia from CIPS, the Chinese payment system akin to SWIFT.

Failure to do so will make China an accomplice and could thus face sanctions as well.

So the pressure is mounting on China to declare who they support. Being neutral is not an option here.
Because of that article I bought a hot water bottle on Amazon. I’ve had it for about a month now. It’s very pleasing to use to heat a bed in a way that an electric blanket isn’t: it is much faster at warming, gives you heat in exactly the place you want it, and you don’t fear your house burning down using it.
I think the decrement relies on open bus behavior I think - the 6502 uses it to cheat and set a value to FF in the same cycle which is then sent through the same path as increment or add, effectively adding -1 to a value.
I really like WebAuthn, I only wish it were supported everywhere.
What is also interesting that a lot of this approaches are pragmatic instead of holistic.

I.e. you can pragmatically already use electric vehicles in many places.

But transition away from coal power plants will still take quite a while.

Well, for (1) there's that weird exchange where Russia's spy chief says/slips his (shaky) support about the entry of Donetsk and Luhansk to the Russian Federation before being corrected.

Yep, what you've described is pretty close to the scheme in WebAuthn. The main additions in WebAuthn are for protocol level security: there's an attestation nonce, a shared counter, and some other fiddly bits to make it harder/impossible to misuse.
This is just modern capitalism. If a few dozen lives are lost, it's not significant compared to the quarterly earnings per share numbers.
fundamental performance advantage over PyTorch

It's funny, yes, you could expect that, but in reality TF is almost never faster than Pytorch
The existence of nuclear weapons does really matter. If it weren't for the real threat of nuclear escalation, direct military intervention in Ukraine would likely be on the table.

Nobody wants to use nuclear weapons, but nobody wants to go toe-to-toe with a nuclear state either.
George Bush was actively campaigning for both Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO at the 2008 Bucharest summit in April, likely a direct link to the subsequent invasion of Georgia which occurred immediately after in August.

USA relations with Russia have in general been pretty schizophrenic. Minor sanctions after the Georgia occupation, "Reset button" politics by the Obama administration, larger scale sanctions after the Ukraine Crimea occupation, Trump fighting additional sanctions.

Let's not forget Biden caught flak for actually waiving sanctions on Russia before he flipped into his current role as strong man.

Not interested in debating irrelevant points. Your intent on whitewashing the situation is major suspect here.
I paid my deposit within the first 15 minutes of the preorder, and my reservation was still pushed to Q2 2022.

I'm not sure if this means the demand was initially high or if the first shipments will be limited. Probably both.

Either way, if you didn't order with the first two minutes or so, you'll have to wait. Unless you are willing to pay $1000 for a reservation on eBay.
Except the fact that the Russian economy will collapse first. Having a new country is not worth anything when you cannot feed your population.
Russia can’t do combined arms warfare they don’t have good communication lines even on a platoon level and pretty much no cross branch communications.

They also seem to completely lack modern blue force tracking which is why they still have to rely on recognition stripes it wouldn’t surprise me if the Russians destroyed as much of their own armor as they did Ukrainian.

And most importantly they seem to be completely inept at performing SAED something that the US and some of its allies especially Israel seem to have nearly perfected at least when it comes to Russian/Soviet AA.

But you are also very much right about the morale problem.

This is a surreal exchange between a Ukrainian and Russian soldiers it feels like a scene from a Cohen Brothers movie

CI often runs software in a pseudo-terminal.
So you still have to maintain 2 heating systems instead of just 1.

That seems like it negates any potential savings.
In all fairness, Ukraine is orders of magnitude easier to invade than Switzerland. Just because you're neutral, doesn't mean you're not a target - and Switzerland had for decades pretty robust defense mechanisms (eg. https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/hidden-devices_switzerland-to-d...).
We already know how the USA would react. See the behavior in South America, and the Cuban missile crisis, bay of pigs, etc.
That's a solid-body electric.

They don't feedback as easily as a hollow-body.

Plus when they do, even the most harsh resonances don't do any physical damage to the wood.

So you plug it straight in to a full stack vacuum tube guitar amp at maximum power.

As commonly enjoyed by 6-string solid-bodies with or without hearing protection.

One of the main reasons they're built this way.

Regardless of how out-of-control it may sound or act, go ahead and make your fingers do the exact same thing they do for an acoustic bluegrass tune.

Those are the tracks I want to hear.
I like the idea of minimal English, but you can't eliminate essential complexity, only push it around, like marbles under the carpet.

It ends up like technical writing, where specific repeated phrases have specific meanings (I'm thinking legal writing and also Smith's The Wealth of Nations).
Or Lisp written by Java programmers.

Galileo looked at the stars not like other people looked at them before. Because of this, he could see them well, not like people could see them before. When he was looking at them, he was holding something of one kind near his eyes. When someone holds something of this kind near the eyes, this someone can look at some places very far from the place where this someone is. A thing of this kind is called “a telescope.” When Galileo looked at the sky at night like this, he could see some places very far from the Earth well.

There are people who say "nay". I am one of those people.

While recognizing its key goal of translatability, is it really true that many non-English languages lack abstract concepts? Sounds an anglo-centric proposition.

Russia is leading wheat producer so the people might not actually go hungry but the rest will suck big time. Their tech / industry infra will be ruined.
Ah, it's a weasel word -- an assertion that takes 10X the amount of effort to disprove than to make. Got it.
Add a fan that makes the air circulate: it should blow vertically and try to mix the hot air at the top with cold air below.

Same thing helps with air cooling units which tend to freeze your feet only: push cold air up with a fan.
Is that your only example? So the last 30 years Russia didn’t expand and now it finally took over Ukraine temporarily and will probably let them keep their government and stay relatively independent (but demilitarized) proves they love annexing things?

That is like saying Israel took Golan Heights because of its ambitions to expand and take over as much Arab land as it can. Rather than limited strategic control for security guarantees.

Every country wants to have a buffer against enemy troops so they can’t shoot as far into its main population centees. In my opinion this is not going to be a thing in the 21st century but it was a thing all throughout history before.

USA is just “lucky” to be surrounded by two oceans because frankly they managed to either exterminate or ethnically cleanse and demilitarize all the previous inhabitants on the continent through war or disease. Otherwise it would act the same way. (The Monroe doctrine kind of declares the whole hemisphere to be under USA protectorate btw.)

There is a difference between supporting an asshole or thinking that asshole being rational. I've never supported what he's done. But I did not think he will do what he did now. Ok I was wrong. Does that make you happy?
What honestly surprised me the most was the shockingly poor state of the equipment I have seen. Some of the APCs in particular look like they have been parked in a barn for 30 years (which they very well may have!)

Given that exporting arms is a huge source of revenue for the government, I would have assumed they would have relatively modern inventory. But the cobbler's children have no shoes, I guess.

This reeks of delusional leadership. They saw numbers on a page, and spent decades bragging about rusting inventory. Meanwhile, the West has actually rotated through three generations of inventory and have prepared for the opponent they thought they were getting
I saw NT running on ARM candy-bar smartphone at internal MS demo in 2004. There was a start button and it opened notepad. This was surreal, but not surprising since NT was engineered to be portable from the start.

MS was dysfunctional at the time, and they continued to ship abysmal Windows Mobile instead of replacing it with NT. Not that it would help, it takes more to make a good smartphone than good kernel.
