> Since everyone refuses to _directly_ spend money

Most of us don't. But we would like it to be:

- easy and anonymous: if i have cash i should be able to find a local reseller taking cash for a token of X€ (a token that's not specific to your platform would be even better)

- easy to decide where the money goes: i certainly don't want to give Google any money at all (and they don't need it), and i certainly don't want my money to be used against my will to finance a reptilian-aware neonazi whose video i clicked by accident (or because i had to debunk it)

But, to be fair, i would much rather prefer a system based on cooperation and free sharing. Is there a reason why we have to pay to live? The reason artists need money is the same reason bakers or FLOSS devs need money: because everyone else does and we're trapped in this nightmarish system. I feel that as a species we can do better.
Greater intelligence allows greater introspection, prediction, rumination; allows one to build a model of self and environment not possible at lower intelligence. The suffering that is possible when you can anticipate your death, or imagine a hopeless future, turns otherwise neutral situations into hells.
incremental downloads for Kiwix is also very much missing to me.

I didn't.

Also, could you respond in full e.g. "Flynn was pardoned by Trump, meaning that..." so I don't have to guess what you mean.

EDIT: ok it was done, thanks. Although I'd add he was caught not disclosing talking to an ambassador (he is afaik allowed to do so), and then accused of lying about it to the FBI.

Per my post, there was a lot of politicking in that incitement that by itself would have justified the pardon.

TBH, I just don't know - which is what I mean by "politicking"; The more I read the more I feel I'm either missing something, or fed mis-information or a skewed perspective.

There was a whole thing about altered or manipulated notes during the Flynn incitement - yet Wikipedia page for Flynn barely mentions it, or McCabe, and McCabe's page mention his firing (which he says was based on an attempt to discredit him) but barely mentions Flynn..

Was that important? Was the DOJ justified in dropping charges, or was Barr corrupt? Was the Pardon justified given the FBIs shady tactics (although shady tactics might be their modus-operandi..), or not? Or maybe the pardon was more motivated by Flynn being "inner-circle" than anything FBI or Russia based. I just don't know.
Directly? No, but they're the only proxy the user gets. I've certainly never noticed being rate-limited without also being downvoted.
So killing Russians for 8 years by openly Neo-nazi forces is pro-active. Glad to know it. 15000 civilians have already died in the conflict. I condemn that Putin has supported Donbass military ambitions because for me speaking Ukrainian is better than being dead and shelled every day. But if we consider culture of significance, the argument is not shallow.
I also condemn him for not doing it earlier because this indecisiveness has been the main cause of people deaths. You either go to war or don't.
There are so many, if Rust wants to do it right across the board, then for every POSIX API where the behavior isn't fully specified, they need to provide a correct way.

And if you want a specific example, thread cancelation cannot be wrapped in safe Rust, because many details depend on the actual UNIX is being used.

You are underreacting. I would suggest a cup of hot beverage with a new friend from Ukraine.

Careful with the friend though, if he's Russian the beverage might contain polonium...
So our German news had an expert, explaining that the sarcophagus is not damaged. Just that the heavy rolling tanks in the neighborhood stirred up that much contaminated soil, that the sensors fluctuated for some short time. Just a short local peak.
It depends on which time you measure. 7zip's LZMA2 is, like most LZ algorithms, asymmetric that it is quite fast to decompress no matter how much you spend on the compression. By comparison RAR uses PPM in the highest setting, which is more or less symmetric so the compression and decompression takes about the same amount of time. When the target ratio is roughly same and high enough, LZMA2 is indeed slower than (RAR's implementation of) PPM for the compression but much faster for the decompression.
Do this for Russian troop movement: admirable use of the internet. Well done, you!

Do the same thing for US troops: traitorous. Immediate bannination. Probable investigation by the FBI.
I think they target Linux as the primary OS, MacOS is second class citizen, perhaps for the best.
There are already plenty of refugees in Eastern Poland today.
> In this case that has been made pretty easy to see. Even large numbers of Russians agree with that.

Just as large numbers of US citizens disagreed with the wars of the last decades.

> Indeed. But this isn't the Cuban missile crisis (which was provoked by the USSR to begin with) and the Ukraine isn't anything like Cuba.

Well, you could argue that the EU/NATO expansion did provoke this, too.

But I'm getting distracted here; I really don't want to defend Russia and especially not their recent actions. I also don't think that helping the Ukraine is a bad thing, quite the opposite actually. My point is that you don't get to both condone violence and keep your status as "peaceful" because it's against the right people. If German history has taught me anything, it's that accepting violence as right leads down a very bad path quickly. It might sometimes be necessary, but it's never "not bad".
Really, how much defensive value does this have for Ukraine?

DDOSing Russian news websites just allows them to cry victim - “look, they don’t want you to hear the truth!”.

Disrupting the Russian internet in general also harms any anti-war protesters trying to organize.
Most of these, if no all, is covered by 7-zip.
Tradition doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good. I agree though, olive oil may not be the best oil to fry with but I don’t think it’s harmful. If you’re cooking Indian cuisine it’s probably a bit of a waste though.
These black and white policies that discard nuance always run into these problems.

Similar to how the "zero violence policies" in schools means they punish the bullied because they're defending themselves.
Your touchpad or mouse wheel doesn't tell you where you are in the document. Your touchpad or mouse wheel doesn't allow you to immediately, without any delay, go to the start or end of a document / list / etc., and Home/End keys are often not accepted by modern touch-oriented interfaces to allow for it. Neither your touchpad nor your mousewheel allow precise and quick navigation to a specific point in a long document. All of these missing features make me frequently feel lost in modern UIs.
For WeKan Open Source kanban https://wekan.github.io , very lightweight process. I release new versions very often https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md .

WeKan has MIT license, used in most countries of the world https://snapcraft.io/wekan . Everything is Open Source, all updates are free, no registration required. WeKan is translated to about 70 languages https://transifex.com/wekan/wekan so it's about 3x more translations than Trello or Jira.

Someone sends PR, I check it, merge if it works. I'll create new release for all platforms. For Snap, it updates all servers automatically worldwide. For other platforms, users update when they like.

If there are any problems, like something does not work, someone adds new issue to https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues . It is fixed by me or some other contributor, and I make new release, usually same or following day problem has been reported.

WeKan users usually keep daily backups, and restore if something gets messed up.

About who is held accountable:

- If I broke something, I try to fix it.

- If some other contributor sent PR that broke something, I usually revert that change, release new version of WeKan, and that other contributor will send fixed PR later, that is then added to WeKan.

- If some customer has problems, customer contacts Commercial Support https://wekan.team/commercial-support/ , I fix it and document steps to wiki like for example https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Repair-MongoDB , and for anyone else asking about same thing I send link to that wiki page.

- If someone has installed WeKan to their own server, has not made backups, and has not paid anything for support, that someone is responsible for not making backups.

I would like to add for anyone who doesn't use Rust, that these performance improvements in the Rust compiler are not just well written up, but are very meaningful in the real world. Subjectively (I've not measured scientifically), I'd say Rust compile times are ~1/2 what they were a few years ago. With that, incremental compilation, LLD, and a new machine my experience of Rust compile times has been completely revolutionised. There's still more work to be done, but a lot has been achieved here.
Agreed, this is beyond disgusting.

If this upsets you, and you wonder what an alternative could look like, then you've rediscovered cryptocurrencies.
And whatever help/ assistance they need should be provided.
Just to let you know, there's no message, and I'm visiting from a Russian IP. Disabling uBlock Origin doesn't make it show up either.
Nice use of Julia to communicate with humans.

However, since you've chosen to communicate through code, strictly speaking it ought to be '==' :p
cut all exports to russia, throw them out of SWIFT, cut all gas/oil imports from russia

I would support all of these even if it cause inconvenience to me, but especially Germany wanna protect their business with Russia, so there is no way for real effective sanctions against Russia.

you don't need to fight with soldiers if you are rich enough
There is open source support for RAR in unar:

Oh, yeah! They definitely use that money only to pay for internet bills
No, they are hypocrites because there is plenty of violence related stuff funded through Patreon.
I think you're right, but as someone who owns both a 3d printer and a CNC router, just preparing toolpaths for the router is more work than the entire process of 3d printing.

Obviously they had a reason to make this choice, I just think I personally would have made a different one.
Not at that time of the year, we won't. There are reserves still.
If we don't stop this madness now, we may freeze in 1-5 years running away from war moving through Latvia, Estonia, Poland etc.

But Germany thinks it will save its economy still buying gas from RUS, so there's that...
This looks cool but HomeBrew for linux is a no go for me. Multiple system level package managers is asking for trouble.
Not surprising.Most of the westerners in the corporate world(especially on the far left end of the spectrum) and people near that sphere of influence are fetishists of either the russian regime or the russian way of doing business.They talk about 'dangerous' people as being pro-russian because it's easier to de-legitimize people this way: the "russian bad" rhetoric is long-known since the atomic period of propaganda.And the same goes for other demographics and ideologies(conservative?->nazi; etc.): the problem with this approach is that when russians ,other such groups, or actual nazis are actually doing something bad, the people (western masses) are already insensitive to the same rhetoric and thus won't give a crap, that's why i stated at the beginning that such authoritative voices, often media(i.e. MSM) are closet russian sympathizers.This is and could somewhat further be fixed with social networks that are not censorious, and we've already seen such tendencies of people informing themselves from multiple channels and creating their own opinions, but the issue still exists.

And to fully acknowledge the situation:the right makes the opposite mistake aswell: they confuse neocon and post-modernist american imperialism greed, such as the Middle East situation, with a military alliance(NATO) that's talked about purely in a defensive manner here.NATO does not and will not invade Russia because that's not the intended goal.This is why eastern europeans liked Trump more than Biden, because we remembered the Clintonian geopolitics.

Same happened/happens in Canada: normal people are declined the opportunity of a help-hand on the pretext of "terrorism" as similar talking points.
7-zip also supports SFX archives. Its implementation also supports a post-decompression command, which is to my knowledge not yet implemented in the 7-zip UI but you can write a small batch file to make one.

Well, it is today.

Because the strategic goal for China and Russia is to establish a stable, long-term alternative to US hegemony. The invasion of Ukraine is a demonstration of independent will.
Ours did it to Frere Jacque.
I’m not fully convinced of my own position here, but I have long suspected that “zipping” at all is an abstraction that shouldn’t really be exposed to the user. Like it’s a throwback to an earlier era.

The basic trade off is size for speed, and it seems like most cases it could handled automatically at the level of the file system maybe. Like if I have a big file that I want to send, it sort of feels like the software I use to send it should do the work of preparing it for transport to the target system. Similarly, if there are files that aren’t being touched very often shouldn’t the file system figure out that file can be in “small, slow” mode? Or maybe if I know a particular file should be always fast or always small, I should have the option in the file properties for it to be Automatic, Always Small, or Always Fast, like a toggle right near the permissions controls. But not like a separate program that generates separate, smaller, slower files of a special type. Why can’t folders be automatically treated like singular archives when I try to do operations on them for which that makes sense? Why do I have to think about these details?

I’m probably missing some important use cases and archiving features, but maybe those can be broken out from the default of “do the obvious thing automatically.”
> Well, you could argue that the EU/NATO expansion did provoke this, too.

You could, but it would be bullshit.

> But I'm getting distracted here; I really don't want to defend Russia and especially not their recent actions. I also don't think that helping the Ukraine is a bad thing, quite the opposite actually.

If German history has taught me anything, it's that accepting violence as right leads down a very bad path quickly. It might sometimes be necessary, but it's never "not bad".

If you really had paid attention to German history you would have realized that sometimes violence is the only way to deal with an emerging threat. It is precisely the lack of decisive action that allowed Hitler the space to do what he did.
> Honestly with the various forms of death and hunger and real bad stuff in the world I'd feel a bit of a snowflake freaking out over someone trying to show me an ad

Fair point, but it's all related. The global wealth we have as a planet could provide everyone with decent housing, food and healthcare. Instead it's being owned by a minority who dedicated resources to making things worse for everyone else.

The IT industry in particular largely benefits from human rights abuses in mining operations and in the factories on the hardware side, and from big contracts with tyrannical regimes on the software side (Amazon + ICE? Google + China?).

The problem is we largely live in a globalized culture in which "exploit others before they exploit you" (the paradigm we're taught in schools/media) is the norm. We are enough technologically-advanced to have a world without war and hunger, but not as long as psychopaths are socially rewarded.
Does BeOS/Haiku do something like this (screenshots at https://lowendmac.com/2001/user-interface-mac-vs-beos/)?
It sounds bad to say it out loud, but MAD was the policy that kept the longest peace among great powers (ie nation states that can project power beyond their borders) in recorded history. The global rate of interstate conflict has been historically low since 1945. I don't like it, but there it is.

It's also worth keeping this in some historical perspective. This war could break a long streak of zero great power wars (depending on definitions and reactions in the west), it's true. But the rate is still historically extremely low. The systems we have for peace, however imperfect, are definitely working.
> Ukraine has no chance of joining NATO too (and never did while the conflict in eastern Ukraine continued).

Then why not declare it on paper with both Ukraine and NATO guarantees? That's all Russia wanted during negotiations last few months.

> NATO troops are already on their borders in the Baltics.

Yes, and Russia been told for many years it will not happen. That's why Russia now wants it to be legally declared. Not just promise.

FWIW libarchive and its commandline tool bsdtar, which are widely available and often installed by default on Linux hosts, is able to unpack most rar files.

Other than that I agree with the post, but if you have a rar file and need to unpack it that's often good to know.
You won't be able to do that with RAR files either. The only archive/compression format that you can send anyone is ZIP, since both Windows and macOS can open them ootb.
Patreon money goes into their left pocket. When they buy guns, they pay with their right pocket. Internet bills are indeed paid with their left pocket ;).
"Quantum computers can theoretically find the answers to problems no classical computer could ever solve"

Nice job! Looks useful
I think the reasons for Russian invasion is somewhat simpler:

- Ukraine military equipement is aging and of Russian origin. It is mostly useless to defend oneself against Russia. One day or another an independant Ukraine would have bought military equiment to the west or China. This is inacceptable to Russia for the next reason.

- traditionnel defense paradigm of Russia is "defense in depth". Refer to Napoléon Wars or WW2 for applications of this paradigm. Since Putin seems to stick to it, Ukraine is merely a buffer for Russia, so long it is an ally. Hence the urge to replace the Ukrenian government with dummies as in Belarus.

- Allies can only have compatible weapon systems.
Xilinx got ahead because of the intel-altera merger. Stratix V was better than the Xilinx 7 series. Now they are giving Intel the opportunity to catch up.

My guess is that AMD bought Xilinx either for fab capacity or for some underlying tech expertise that they needed.
Ah yes, but this requires adding one repo per app. I meant having a "single" (though selfhostable) Fdroid gateway to CI artifacts so i could just add "cidroid.org" repository to my Fdroid then choose for each application if i want it from F-droid repo or from fresher CIDroid.
> I just said there's a basis for it, not that it's true.

You should have said all of that right away, because now it just sounds like backpedaling.
What are you guys rambling on about? One look at my history clearly shows I'm not who you believe me to be. Im simply someone willing to listen to both sides of an argument. I deleted my comment because the collective madness of patriotism takes hold and your either 'with us or against us'. Any view you express that may run against the current narrative can be used against you.
Folders can be compressed archive files with the right OS/fake filesystem combination, although that's mostly ease of use.

The main 2 reasons for an archive file are giving to someone else, or compression. The FS can do compression these days, so it's mostly about giving 1 file to someone else, not 1000.

Using archive files to avoid excess file wastage seems like a bad idea, make the FS better instead
No, those are also bad - but harder to displace.
Most of your examples first popped up 10 or so years ago give or take, when organic reach was still possible. The only one that didn't was fortnite (Dec 2017) but it's a far cry from a small indie project, it came from a AAA developer that not only had multiple well known games, was also behind the unreal engine, one of the most popular game engines.
Here's a couple of other options (please verify yourself):

All things considered, there are no reasons left to use RAR.

I sometimes run into RAR files that 7zip thinks are corrupt but WinRAR opens just fine. That by itself means I keep it installed. It doesn't hurt that the GUI is more pleasant.

You are correct, but your timing for bashing people on the head with the truth is terrible, hence the downvotes.
I would support Ukraine in any way possible.
