Wher did you read that? I don't see that anywhere in BP statement.

What the statement says is they're removing themselves from the board (so can't be considered to having any control over Rosneft), and readjusting the shares value.

To me this reads as they're going to be a passive investor in Rosneft (and possibly sell the shares as quickly as possible), not that they're gifting them to Putin.

> plus making things from basic ingredients increases the understanding of how ingredients work.

That’s a bit of a stretch. Following a recipe doesn’t necessarily imply you understand how ingredients work.

I would say I’m an “above average” cook (define as you will), and yet I still use Krusteez pancake mix. They’re very good from the mix and I’d prefer to waste my time scrolling endlessly or other crap instead (I’m not fooling anyone, time saved making pancakes from scratch is entirely time wasted elsewhere).
Also, thank you for sharing your found bug. That should not happen and will be fixed this week.
My questions reading such quick escalation are:

Are the Russian citizens ready for an atomic war because of Putin? I read a Russian newspaper yesterday, where the Russian citizens didn't consider the war in the Ukrainian a real war, but an operation as many others... with Atomic war threat should be clear to them, that it is not a simple operation

Is Putin ok? After his divorce, and now 70 years old, he looks like a lonely and bitter old man.

RT and Sputnik aren't "sides" in a democratic debate. They are propaganda outlets participating in bad faith with a goal to undermine those societies that have those debates.

Seriously, squatters rights are a thing (https://learn.eforms.com/real-estate/squatters-rights/ seems like a good resource) but they aren't magic.

If your landlord doesn't take care of the place and you don't have a lease, sure investigate squatters rights. No one should live in an unsafe, dangerous space.

But many landlords take pride in providing a needed product (housing) to people who couldn't afford it otherwise.
But aren't those the contracts that they cancelled in 2020?
What project(s) did you experience those steps with? They can all make sense under varying circumstances, I'd be happy to take a look at some of them to bear them in mind (sometimes projects can be encouraged to move to more streamlined processes, even when it requires careful planning and a long time).

I think better phrasing would indeed be something like "several former core developers" - of course we can't really measure up to the size of the original community, and don't yet have any paid developers (like Araq and narimiran [1] in the mainline - although since the end of September there were not a lot of activity on their part as well - [2] ~30 commits (~23 that are marked `[backport]`) and even less [3] for narimiran)

Right now, it seems like most of the work on the mainline seems to be done by community members.

White is a skin tone, but it also seems to be a catch-all for anyone that can be assigned historical guilt for benefitting in some way from imperialism. From there, the possibilities are endless. So, the present-day Russia has transgressed greatly and should be punished, according to this perspective. However, apparently, Ukrainians are benefitting as well as Caucasians, and that's why they would receive sympathy. If I could just forget about having heard of this ideology, I would.

Why not build your own distro with NixOS?

It seems to have all these upsides combined with a domain-based configuration that makes the configuration of what you need, whatever you need, quite easy, at least for the well-traveled paths.

And it's powerful enough that when you learn the language (which is small) and the necessary builtin functions (of which there are many, but there's a huge body of existing work that makes it easy to find examples) you can customize your system to your heart's desire.
Additionally you suddenly have taxes, insurance, liability and business structure to worry about. You can easily burn a grand a year on fillings, tax prep, business software, and some minor insurance, so if your project is only going to bring in $50 bucks why bother?
There are 365 days in a year. A battery that you charge and discharge every day will make money daily for you. A battery that you charge and discharge once a year, will only make money once a year for you. Plus, it will also lose quite a lot of energy due to self-discharge.

That's it, in a nutshell.

To make it concrete, a Tesla Megapack has about 20 MWh of energy, costs about $7 MM (including maintenance) and has a lifetime of 10 years [1]. At the end of its lifetime the energy drops to about 70% of the initial charge, but I'll ignore that. So, the price per kWh comes down to 7000000 / (365 x 10 x 20000) = 10 cents. That's somewhat steep, but acceptable. The average price of 1kWh in the US last year was about 14 cents and in the state of New York about 20 cents [2]. If you manage to generate electricity with solar panels for less than 10 cents/kWh, then solar+short term batteries are competitive.

If you can only sell energy once a year, then the cost comes down to 365 times higher, or about $35/kWh.

Certainly Putin and the Russians use misinformation and disinformation as a weapon, but the suggestion here in the Economist that we in the West are somehow arbiters of justice fighting disinformation with truth, rather than our our brand of disinformation is patently absurd. This was as obvious ~2,500 years ago when Aeschylus famously stated, "In war, truth is the first casualty" as it is today.

Does this work seamlessly alongside other apps on your machine? By which I mean:

• Does copy-and-paste work?

• Does the file picker dialog default to a logical location, or does it start out in some weird directory?

• If you click on a URL, does it open in your default web browser?

• Can you screen-share the application from Zoom?

I'd also be curious whether there's a performance impact beyond disk usage.

Basically, I'm wondering if the UX is substantially better than using a VM. VMs are great for backwards compatibility, but the UX sucks, because apps don't exist in a vacuum.

If chroot does work seamlessly for GUI apps, that strikes me as a perfectly reasonable backwards-compatibility solution, and better than what Windows does in some ways. Heck, distros should consider automating this when users try to launch old software.

Edit: I also wonder how much of this problem would go away if Linux devs were willing to ship statically-compiled binaries. (Or mostly-statically-compiled binaries, since I know including e.g. gpu libraries is problematic.)

I understood the intent of it being just a local change and not submitted. You're right that submitting it would be a bit more involved, and other people would probably protest, since the prompt was added deliberately, so why not just keep it local?

Let’s not get religious about it - it’s food and you do what you do. I’ll eat your pancakes, mix or not. But the parent I was responding to was extolling consistency as a virtue and I don’t consider consistency (as in “tastes the same every time”, as opposed to “tastes great every time”) a great thing.

And if you start adding sourdough to anything, consistency goes straight out the window. At least my sourdough is anything but consistent.
Almost impossible and also rather impractical. What each game should care about are the high level details of its game state. Things like "In what map am I located and at what coordinates?" The game engine for each game basically represents a compression algorithm of sorts to decode the meaning of a few concise details like that. If you prefer to represent that information with the raw bytes and bits of internal processor and memory state, you're choosing a hugely inefficient and clunky encoding.
There are requirements for joining NATO. From https://www.rferl.org/a/1099020.html .

> The first chapter -- political and economic issues -- requires candidates to have stable democratic systems, pursue the peaceful settlement of territorial and ethnic disputes, have good relations with their neighbors, show commitment to the rule of law and human rights, establish democratic and civilian control of their armed forces, and have a market economy.

Does this sound like a set of requirements Russia/Putin is willing to meet? If countries want to join the democratic defense alliance, and they aren't democracies... So what? NATO isn't an alliance of violent dictators. It was USA's insight after WW2 that alliances needed to be held together by more than territorial interest - they need to be held together by values.
I wouldn’t want him to stick and lose motivation either.
My main point was that the differences between the USSR and the US were far greater than butter side up/down, so the comparison is ridiculous.

But you are right that the reason for conflict was more complicated than just those differences.

The main difference is that gamers are consumers, while ETH miners use GPUs to make income. Even though gamers were buying scalped GPUs, I'd imagine GPUs going to back to being treated as a consumable (rather than something that generates income) would help prices.

Meanwhile we won't impose oil/gas restrictions and the price of oil soars which Russia can use to fund the war. You want good grassroots resistance? Kneecap the government's source of revenue.

We need to push on the Saudis to increase production and start dumping our strategic reserves to collapse the price of oil. While I hate the shale/fracking in North Dakota and its pipelines, we should have subsidized a base level of production so we could open the floodgates as a strategic weapon. As I understand it those wells were capped and they can't be easily started up.

The need to heavily incent EV / PHEV is even more apparent. Oil enables dictators, and that destabilizes the world and our security. It's not just global warming, it's good old fashioned international conflict security.
The other issue is flow. Flow is vital for execution, and distributing your attention amongst multiple projects means your flow breaks. Also part time devs might not commit to daily meetings, or being on call for downtime incidents.
Ukraine is losing 1 for every 20 Russians killed so far. Putin's strategical prowess is surprisingly terrible.
Germany has previously had to deal with gas and oil shortages. During WW2, Germany produced significant amounts of synthetic gas and oil from coal because they were forced to. The only thing holding Europe back right now is the will to act. At some point the cost of allowing Russia to proceed will exceed the cost to make changes, and once that happens, Europe will act. In war people die, and it doesn't matter if the immediate cause was hypothermia or something else as the underlying cause is the war. War means that it's no longer business as usual for all sides.

Never had a recipe of his let me down, but his chicken adobo recipe (where you simmer a sauce of sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar for like an hour) practically destroyed my wok's seasoning. The sauce was almost caramel like by the end of it, which let to a ton of caked on burnt bits I could only scrape off aggressively, and then the vinegar evaporation created what I can only call steam bubbles in the patina that caused them to flake off like paint chips. I had to pretty much scrape everything off and start from scratch on reseasoning the wok after that. It's still not quite back to what it was before "the Adobo event" (as my girlfriend calls it).

Still a delicious recipe, but, I learned to use my deep saute pan for it in the future.

Let's not kid ourselves with this kind of rationalization. Intent matters when you failed to achieve your claimed results. When you need to explain why the crap you pulled smells so much better than the same crap the other guy pulled. But it's still crap and rationalizing it from a safe place where you just get to send thoughts and prayers rather than taking it is not only completely worthless but also insulting to anyone who ever had to suffer from someone else's "good intentions", particularly a superpower's. You'd appreciate those intentions a lot less if you were at the wrong end of them.

When you do a good job you don't need to explain your intentions. It's a lesson you learn the very first time you do a good job.

Ayy, nice to see an OpenRCT devs on here! One of my favourite Open Source projects out there right now.
Yeah, I'm fond of the AppContainer sandbox in a way; I think most consumer applications can get by in a sandbox (my UWP app could), and sandboxing applications can be empowering for users since it lets them run more code without worrying about trust.

Unfortunately, the execution was a mess. Not having any way to opt out of the sandbox was an insane decision and it led to crazy workarounds; even first-party Windows software has to do things like ship a sidecar exe to bypass the sandbox (the Store does). And troubleshooting issues with the sandbox was a pain, configuring capabilities was a pain, and there was very little in the way of iOS-style user-facing permission controls.

And don't get me started on the marketing; MS flacks kept telling devs how sandboxing benefits users while doing virtually nothing to convey those benefits to users.
In Afghanistan, I used an old fashioned DDWRT router with the transmission power turned up to 125milliwatts IIRC? No special antennas like a high gain one. The distance was a backhaul link between routers so we could have civilian internet at the office. There was no regulatory domain other than not interfering with the signals guys or messing up radar returns.

My FPOV drone was in the 5Ghz band and I could go for about 1.5 miles before a tree limb would cause significant interference.
You can just use medicine, that's what it's for. Even salbutamol+caffeine works, there's also ephedrine, clenbuterol, and of course amphetamine at the high end.

Perhaps ignoring for the sake of my question, whether the demand for Bitcoin will increase enough for the price to increase 10,000 times (or perhaps people misplacing their bitcoins, anything else?)...

I'm curious about your thoughts on something. If someone thought the price would go up by that much, wouldn't it make sense to put all available money into Bitcoin, except enough to make payments where only USD (or not Bitcoin) is accepted - plus some emergency fund, etc.
Because they would be keeping all possible money in Bitcoin, I think it would make more sense for someone who thought it was likely Bitcoin was going to increase 10,000 times in the next year to make every possible purchase in Bitcoin. Am I missing something? Transaction fees have been 'sorted' now with other layers, right?

Disclaimer: I have always been fairly skeptical of increases in cryptocurrency prices (which means I've been wrong so far), and don't see the use cases which will lead to it holding value long term. I also have some tiny amount (fraction) of Bitcoin as change from some experimentation earlier, so I suppose I would benefit greatly from a 10,000 increase. It has already increased to more than I put in to begin with I suppose, so even that small amount might earn more next year than I would from doing a day job.

Editing to note: the last sentence does look a bit sarcastic, but it is meant it in friendly jest. I think long term holders of cryptocurrencies have done very well so far, so hopefully they won't grudge me thinking the huge increases sound to good to be true.
Also, I see someone has noted the high fees in another comment, so perhaps this issue is not solved.
