Literally going through this right now. Performing the upgrade from 13 to 14, following the required upgrade path.

In the past, you could go from current version -> latest z release -> X.0 release of the next major -> latest minor release of Z. As long as gitlab completed the db migrations and came up, you were (relatively) ok to continue to the next upgrade.

Turns out 14 introduces a brand new upgrade failure case. Starting with 14, upgrades can include async db migrations that must complete before you continue upgrading. But once you start upgrading, it's too late, things are hosed, so now I'm falling back to a backup and starting over.
I wouldn’t go that far. Dictatorship can be highly successful if the dictator incentivizes competence.
Yeah, following some of the communities it feels that number of units in this batch is very limited. And even somewhat random. It seems it was mostly done just so Valve can say the actually "released" it in February even if there was zero possibility of consumer getting unit.
Either that or an AI. But I’m leaning towards gut microbes.

(To be clear/ruin any potential humor in this reply, I’m in agreement with “you are what you eat” in this context and treating “written by gut microbes” as “written by the human host of those microbes”)
There was a neat liquid computer called the MONIAC used to model the national economic processes of the UK.

Re: Taiwan, via Wikipedia:

"Article 6 states that the treaty covers only member states' territories in Europe and North America, Turkey and islands in the North Atlantic north of the Tropic of Cancer, plus French Algeria. It was the opinion in August 1965 of the US State Department, the US Defense Department and the legal division of NATO that an attack on the U.S. state of Hawaii would not trigger the treaty, but an attack on the other 49 would.[47] The Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla on the North African shore are thus not under NATO protection in spite of Moroccan claims to them. Legal experts have interpreted that other articles could cover the Spanish North African cities but this take has not been tested in practice."

I think it's reasonable to want an easy way to disable colored output, but I don't get why TERM doesn't work. Unless the request here is not for no colors but instead for fewer colors.

But if it's to disable all colors in applications, then I believe changing TERM should work. And if you run something that you want colored you can override TERM for that process.
I hope the author of the article sees this, because this is absolutely the best solution to what they want to do.

I'm sure you can even do some clever bash-foo to run your term sessions through it, like how screen or tmux work.
To answer your question, mostly yes. If a majority of the countries that peer with them added BGP filters they would vanish from the internet. The few remaining peers advertising them would be saturated and overwhelmed.

Should it be done? I don't think so. In my opinion most of the Russian people would not be aligned with what is occurring. Certainly the families of Russian soldiers stand to lose their loved ones just as the families of Ukrainian soldiers stand to lose their loved ones. Soldiers on both sides have kids that will be devastated. I would rather the entire planet get to share their thoughts, share videos of the travesties and let people experience the real pain and loss. The only person that benefits from keeping Russians in the dark is their leader in my opinion.

Along this line lets not recreate the mistakes and shortsightedness of our past. One of my family members had to march German citizens through the death camps of WWII to prove what atrocities occurred. They did not have the advantage of the internet and the civilians only believed what their newspapers printed. I would personally rather we keep the internet as open as possible so that the entire world can see how incredibly ridiculous and disgusting this is as real time and uncensored as technically possible.
The mere existence of nuclear weapons is a threat for the simple fact that if they exist, at some point, they are bound to get used. It is pure luck that they haven't been accidentally or intentionally used in a disastrous way.

If you care about the threat of nuclear weapons, you need to realise that you aren't going to disarm foreign powers who have them through force without unacceptable risk that you cause the scenario you claim to want to avoid.

So the obvious solution is something like if the NPT were to actually be implemented as a good-faith vehicle of global nuclear disarmament. But in order to do that, you are then committed to dealing peacefully with everyone and resolving conflict within the framework of a trustworthy rules-based system. ie. A prerequisite would be acting in a way that leads to building trust in international law and order.

Currently no nuclear state is doing that. And it's hard to imagine any leader or party coming to office running on a platform that proposes it. We have all observed the absolute glee we feel when we act out our own aggressive fantasies (too numerous to mention), and the mirroring (and equally corrosive) sanctimonious pleasure we gain from condemning the aggressions of others and responding in unproductive ways which almost guarantee escalations, if not in the actual conflicts, then in the feelings which engender those conflicts (ie. "they are all against me", "this is unfair", "they never act in good-faith", "they are hypocrites", "there are no rules, only power relations", because "to the extent that there are rules, why should they apply to me, when they don't apply to them", etc).

The best we have been able to achieve, so far, in deterring the aggression of opposing powers is either to:
1. Destroy them so thoroughly that they never reconstitute (eg. Carthage)
2. Destroy them so thoroughly that it takes decades for them to reconstitute (eg. Germany after WW1)
3. Delay/frustrate them with limited conflict or sabre-rattling alone (eg. USA/Taiwan 1996, Ukraine/Russia 2014, etc.)

Nuclear weapons just means that the extermination strategy is off the table. But it doesn't look like the avoidance/posturing/bullshit strategy is going to suddenly start working.
The goal is to topple Ukraine's leadership and install a puppet who will be more aligned with Russia than the west (see Belarus as an example). An economically prosperous, stable, democratic, NATO-allied neighbor is Putin's worst nightmare.
Yes, there is a pointed reason for the Western elite to compare every foreign affair (and even domestic affairs nowadays) to WW2. It was “the good war” and if every other war is just like it then adventurism is justified.
Well when you're there you risk your life for you friends to your left and right. I'm sure it also helped that the Iraqis welcomed the US and Saddam was a brutal tyrant.

> The total number of deaths and disappearances related to repression during this period is unknown, but is estimated to be at least 250,000 to 290,000 according to Human Rights Watch, with the great majority of those occurring as a result of the Anfal genocide in 1988 and the suppression of the uprisings in Iraq in 1991

That always happens when a country fights for its survival. Universal and compulsory conscription. If this is not the moment to resort to this, then when is?
In every war where there is conscript you will have scared men running or hiding. It is natural, and not particular to the approval rating of their (current) governing officials. Your comment honestly sounds more like propaganda than the parent's.

> Everyone I know in russia declares virtually 0% support for this invasion.

I mean, you don't have a balanced or unbiased sample. You sound like the people who are like "No person I know supported Trump."

> in a different confrontation, for instance defending Crimea

I'm pretty sure you meant "continuing to occupy Crimea"
> There is almost no chance that Putin will pull off a Grozny that would have no support of the Russian population or the troops

Honest question because I don't know: Does Putin listen at all to public opinion, or to the sentiment of his military.
I don't think this is likely: the upside is small (can American GIs shoot anti-tank missiles better than Ukranian GIs?) and the downside is extremely large (nothing polls worse than Americans getting shipped home in boxes, and nothing would make Russia happier than to have actual proof of direct interference.)
If “it was China” then explain the drop from 100$ -> 4$ that preceded China’s involvement and then what changed. Trump did add a 30% import tax, but that’s almost a rounding error on the price drops we are talking about.

Some US and EU manufactures where able to keep up with the price drops and they would have reached similar price drops with or without any involvement from China. Completion and increased investment (Ed: and arguably dumping) did result in a short term drop in prices, but current prices are in line with trends going back to the 1970’s.

For example LG Solar, a South Korean company, is manufacturing 500 megawatts of solar panels annually in Huntsville, AL cost competitively. SunPower a US company manufactures some of the highest efficiency mass market solar cells in Malaysia and the Philippines etc.

People want to simplify things and say country X did Y, but it’s far more complicated especially when you look into how long it takes to bring new manufacturing methods to market.
Unfortunately, as long as they have nuclear weapons they will remain poignantly relevant.
Initially I was looking at this situation as a Napoleonic move, and it most probably still is. Nevertheless, to add some nuance to it, the situation, as it unfolds, plays to the core argument by Putin, in between the anti-nazi fusion with Zionismophobia crazy talk for his Russian/local version of conspiracy theorists.

And that core argument was that he had no choice and that this a survival rather than an aggression move. At the moment, the struggles his army demonstrates, centered on lack of resources, lack of superiority on intelligence etc. are struggles related to capabilities where any of his advantages deteriorate with time. So he is attacking now, while there still is time. The alternative would be to wait 1 year and have Ukraine a member of Nato and a formidable enemy knocking on his door at any time? Doubt it, but it is his storyline to oligarchs. I hope this does not give Putin an argument but it goes to prove that I am at best a bad strategist, only coming up with explanations ex-post and he could be a mediocre strategist, but I sincerely doubt it given his history and his experience out of running a proxy war in Ukraine for 8 years.

The withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan did not help either and is the only thing that would explain timing from my perspective. He knows/feels that US is pulling back in preparation for something, but whether that something is the explicitly stated Asia race against China or an easy win against Russia cannot be assessed. If it was the latter he played right into it. I would think it was worth to him waiting for next US elections, regardless the outcome, as US are hitting some known fault lines in their political discourse, EU could grow more dependent on energy front in the meantime etc.
Accounts here can be blocked after an average of 10 minutes.
Putin has pointed out in his pre-invasion speech that he is ready to apply some extra forces if Western countries will interrupt him and it looked like he meant nukes with saying all decisions are already approved.
Maybe it was about tactical nuclear missiles.
I’m not going to shift into armchair general/geopolitical master mode because I am not qualified but you’ve used a Gallup poll from the previous government to try and make a point about the current government, which at its most generous is a silly and careless mistake and at worst is an act of deliberate stupidity and deception.

I don’t quite know what to say about the rest of your comment relating to the desire of ukranians to be in this fight but it would appear most of both unofficial (ie social media, crowd sourced) and official western reports are completely at odds with the case you’re trying to make
> I can't even think of situations where the colors chosen by a developer were so bad I wanted to disable them completely.

The main use case for this is that there are tools that use ANSI color libraries and don't handle non-colorization in non-TTY contexts. So what ends up happening is a user of said tool pipes its output to a log file and since ANSI escape codes are in-band, the log file becomes an unreadable mess. NO_COLOR provides a way for the library to give control over colorization to the user, even if the tool consuming the library hard codes colorization logic.
It's just a bunch of automated drones flying in formation. Trying to calculate their orbits ahead of time in any kind of detail would be a fool's errand, instead we'd just use solar light pressure to steer them as needed (they would be very thin, there's no point to making them thick).

With really thin sails (0.78 g/m^2) they don't even need to orbit, as they can use light pressure to compensate for gravity (what Robert Forward termed a 'statite'). The light they reflect hits other sails on the other side, but this isn't a problem if they are distributed uniformly.
Ok, then what I said was not entirely fair to him. But at the same time, it is a common scenario where one human suffers and then shares that suffering upon others.

My privileged perspective is different from that of many other people, but I must believe that the best path to success and happiness for all is coordination rather than force and might. I also know that someone in his position lacks for nothing by any external perspective. We cannot give him benefit of the doubt; he isn't interested in the betterment of his people, else he would not have allowed a few people to get ownership of major public assets, leaving the general population low while a few people became absurdely rich. Therefore, his motivations now are for his own appearance and self esteem. If he makes a more powerful Russia, then he is worthy of the photo of him proudly riding a horse bare-chested.

> While President Biden has said U.S. troops will not enter Ukraine to participate directly in the fight against Russia, U.S. forces may eventually be called upon to participate in NATO-led missions as part of the NATO Response Force to bolster the defense of alliance partner nations should they ask for assistance.

Am I missing something? I was expecting something far more drastic from reading the other comments.
Something competitive. I play Star Wars Battlefront 2. It's a pretty casual game but it's competitive so you have to focus up and try if you want to win.
I get what you mean, but you're not adding much to the discussion. I think of a few reasons you'd want to disable color that aren't for pure aesthetics:

- Visually impaired users might have trouble with a lot of colors

- Fully blind users won't see the color, so if it ties into a core feature of the tool, a NO_COLOR flag would force the developer to address it.

For the record, I think the article OP linked to is pretty stupid in general, but I like playing devils advocate.
This. A way worse result for Putin than Ukraine slowly becoming NATO-aligned is a sudden NATO-enforced regime change in his other (and currently reliable) European buffer state.
a) Higher resolution displays and style sheets that do not scale...
b) changes in browser compatibility may require you to adjust your html declaration, doctype and meta tags as well.

I've been adjusting my web pages changing the body font size from a fixed point size to an em value, most browsers do some scaling when that is the case, also I do a minor size increase as well. Now most pages get a desktop font-size of 1.2em with mobile width adjusting to 1em, and print with .7 em..
This looks cool, being both free and cross platform.

A non free (4 hours free a month) solution I quite like on macOS is krisp.ai which I also use for noise removal. Background replacement was recently added to M1 chips.

On the Windows side, Nvidia Broadcast has worked well for me (requires an RTX card), it also supports tracking which I really like. I've previously tried XSplit but the results were worse than whatever implementation Zoom and even Hangouts in a browser use.

I rarely video call under Linux (non existent laptop drivers for my webcam) but look forward to trying this out if the need ever arises.

Swimming in a hot spring or heated pool while it's snowing outside is really, really nice. If you haven't tried it, you should. That being said, I would never do that with my own pool because it would be far too expensive and the not great for the environment.
Why not? It's a show of support for their own citizens if nothing else, who probably for the most part support Ukraine.
I have heard that a fair percentage of Russians have some level of Ukrainian family ethnicity roots too. I can’t imagine that all of the Russian troops are only of Russian ethnicity. Couple that shared background with command and supply issues, it’s a recipe for morale issues.

I think it could be much better. You have to manually zoom into the article area on every page, and every time I scroll down it tends to scroll side to one side a bit since there is space to either side of the article. (I know mobile browsers tend to stop any horizontal scroll if it senses you are scrolling vertically, but not every swipe is perfect enough for it to do this.) Considering the desktop version and mobile version are identical, I suspect there was no effort to make it mobile friendly.

Your image of the situation is unrealistic.

Yes that's fair.
It is either that, or send in replaceable shock troops to tease out defensive capabilities, then send in the real forces. I can imagine Russia, paranoid as always, may have wondered at want technological war machine wonders we were providing Ukraine.
Are you Russian by any chance? The confidence number you pulled out was (ostensibly) for the previous government at the end of its term. The next (current) President got the support of 73% of Ukrainians: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Ukrainian_presidential_...

This is key. The whole benefit of hardware token-based authentication is that it is resistant against phishing (because SMS 2-factor and TOTP, e.g. Google Authenticator, are NOT phishing resistant).

So this approach is more complicated than those other 2 2FA approaches but with no additional security benefit.

This seems to me to be a lighting manufacturer that is complaining that they got caught out for having a poor power factor.

I'm sorry, but I don't have a lot of sympathy for them in that regard.

I do like their high CRI and flicker-free nature of their lights, but there are plenty of others in the space that do the same but also have brighter lights. And everything else being equal, I'll take the brighter lights.
I've made separate browser bookmarklets to independently enlarge fonts, switch to a serif font, fatten margins, change colors to black-on-white, and invert all colors (dark mode)--because most web designers are barbarians.

Different sites need a different mix of buttons. Theoretically, "reader mode" would fix most of this, but chrome & firefox neuter it to some degree for obvious reasons.

I'd also add that bitmap fonts rendered at the right size can be far more legible than truetype/opentype ones at larger size thanks to the hinting & antialiasing tax. I really like GNU Unifont.

The US should not have done that, and most of us know that. That has no bearing on and is no excuse for what is happening right now.

But at the time you speak of, there was a concerted disinformation scheme which led many people, likely including troops and certainly including the US Congress, to believe that Iraq was becoming a nuclear threat led by a power-hungry man. Troops probably believed they were fighting for the freedom and safety of the world.
