This seemed far fetched to me, but I am starting to think this is the only rational strategy behind Western actions... poor Ukrainians, they did not deserve this.
I usually tend to think over what I (personally) would expect the project to have / be. Nothing more, nothing less. That keeps me motivated.

I started m4b-tool[1] for using it myself - and noticed, that the most features, I wanted it to have where not available in existing, free solutions. So I started to note things down, I would like to have for a utility to merge / create audio books.

Now the project is a bit bloated and I learned so much on the way to its current state, that I'm thinking over rewriting it (not in RUST, but in C# ;) but it was a joyful journey with a lot of new ideas and experiences.

Pro tip: Early shipping is very good for geetting early feedback and new ideas. Don't be afraid to publish something unpolished.

There's a variety of projects out there. gorilla/mux, chi, httprouter are all pretty commonly used for just defining routes. If you want a full on framework, gin and beego are also common. For the database (I'm unfortunately mainly familiar with postgresql related projects) there's pgx, sqlx, gorm, and then code generators like sqlc such as sqlboiler and entgo.

Golang encourages libraries and frameworks with much smaller surface, so there is indeed a boilerplate issue, but that's also an issue with golang as a whole.
Cholesterol is more than just fat consumption. You can't talk cholesterol without talking about carbohydrates.

All fat oxidizes, some oxidize easier than others. Some are more inflammatory tahn others (omega6s are way more so than saturated fats). Carb intake has complex interactions kicking off the oxidation of fats too.
I remember watching this fight play out in real time in Seattle:

https://www.seattleweekly.com/news/somethings-rotten-in-roos...

> Most in the crowd were furious about the Sisleys’ refusal to help keep up the neighborhood. “I feel like I’m watching a neighborhood crumble,” said David Ahrens. Another angry resident added, “These are transient places. People are moving in and out. I think you need to get more aggressive with them.”

> In 1994, after the DCLU took action on a number of violations at Sisley properties, including the illegal conversion of a house that was zoned single-family into a six-unit “residents’ club” house, Gilbert brought a similar suit against city officials.

Then there's all of the Carl Haglund stuff.

I think people have tried to cater to low income tenants, and all of them have been run out of town.
'Grass fed' has a remarkable amount of wiggle room in it from a marketing and Truth in Advertising standpoint.

And there's also 'grass finished' which does the reverse process of grain first and grass at the end to boost the carotene a little and change the texture of the fat a bit (grain fed 'looks better' to shoppers which is part of how that changeover happened so fast)

If China attacks Taiwan we're going to see companies which are dependent on TSMC drop into the toilet.

IMHO, invest in Intel to hedge your bets. The old man is down but he is not out. Intel is 'too big to fail' because it is the only somewhat modern fab in the US with scale.
Costs money and political capital. What it buys is defense of Ukrainian sovereignty and escalates conflict with a dangerous, poor nuclear superpower.

Ukraine is being handed to Putin. He gets to flex his strongman ego and the world gets to not be ended (today).
Does kind of depend on who is the president of the US.
not a lot of people to look at signs in the literal middle of a nuclear exclusion zone.
It makes sense. Helping the Ukrainian coup of 2014 doesn’t cost the US much but a direct war with Russia would be catastrophic.
i agree. time to act was in 2008, 2014, 2015-16; basically until 2021.

same as 1930s. business as usual, protect our investments and companies and suddenly oh noes he has tanks at their borders, too bad, but he won't come for us, right? right...?
Just passing on what was said, I don't have much knowledge on this topic. As I understood, they were implying importing more gas from other countries on existing infrastructure, not building entirely new one.

Looking at this, Russian LNG imports makes up 20%. Doesn't seem to be completly impossible for the other countries on that list to cover for it at maybe a higher price.

>Textbook clickbait.
LOL I'd say your post is!
Hmmm.. the advice given here seems to open the door to a lot of biases. Why might you not "enthusiastically" rehire someone? It might not be for their fit to the role, their job performance, or any other important factor. It may just be...your enthusiasm. Which very often wanes with your personal prejudices.
Love him or hate him, if you don't think Trump caused a monumental, almost overnight shift in both public and governmental opinion towards going back to promoting American manufacturing, bringing jobs back to America, and finally fighting back against China for their decades of taking advantage of us... you're letting your bias do all the talking, and that's sad.

You'll note that in his debates, Biden took some lines almost directly out of Trump's playbook regarding those subjects (made to sound more polite of course), and in fact many of Trump's policies and executive orders, Biden has kept in place. Because they're having a positive effect. We just needed someone with balls like Trump to finally enact them.

Big Tech, China, offshoring, and globalism can shove it. The tides are finally turning. If there's one good thing to come out of Trump's presidency, it's this!
I agree these stories should not be overblown, and have been a regular occurrence. It isn’t a worrisome escalation.

But it is incorrect to say they are happening because the ADIZ extends over Chinese territory. The repeated incursions are out over the ocean, most commonly over the SW corner of the ADIZ which is not over mainland China. China is doing it intentionally, and is both testing and prodding Taiwan.
Probably the same way that they're blaming Trump for Russia's aggression during the non-Trump presidencies before and after the Trump one. It's almost like reality doesn't align with their tribal narrative but they can't give it up.
Haha, this is normal among so-called progressive circles. They subscribe universally to the "if it's not good enough, it's better to have nothing". So you can't provide crappy housing, it's better for people to be on the street. You can't provide crappy jobs, it's better for people to have no jobs. You can't provide crappy healthcare, it's better for people to die.

The secondary aspect of this is that these people will fight tooth and nail to ensure that crappy things don't exist but will put up some token "We should have X" to get the good thing built. Progressives...
> I feel like in a decade us Europeans will be sitting around wondering why we sold off promising startups to China like we did US tech companies the previous decade.

While what you're saying is true, might it be a brilliant time to sell a chunk to Tencent? If you believe that China is likely to invade Taiwan soon, and western countries will respond by freezing any Chinese assets overseas (see: Russia/Ukraine), might this be a great way to pocket cash and then have the equity revert back to you in a few months?

That said, Tencent seems to own a chunk of most important private tech companies and most mid-level game companies.
Chernobyl sarcophagus is a massive pile of concrete - basically indestructible. Buildings made of concrete are ridiculously resilient to explosions - remember the Beirut explosion? That grain silo right next to the epicenter was still standing

Berlin has some flak towers from WW2, quoting Wikipedia:

The Soviets, in their assault on Berlin, found it difficult to inflict significant damage on the flak towers, even with some of the largest Soviet guns, such as the 203 mm M1931 howitzers. After the war, the demolition of the towers was often considered not feasible and many remain to this day
They won't. They want Russian support when they invade Taiwan.
I think the thesis is to prevent Ukraine from attacking the staging area. Giving them a really safe base.
What city? Can you post sources?
Interesting. I wonder if China has the same amount of waste and overspending in their military industrial complex.
I think I'm using "Allied Forces" and "Europeans" too loosely. I was lumping Ukrainian forces into that label. They're already under attack so any conventional retaliation on invading forces is already a given. I'm basically saying that NATO/EU would put pressure on Ukraine NOT to attack the staging area because any fallout could waft over into Western Europe. This is in addition to the already present downside of Ukraine re-contaminating their own backyard.
I think this is just a general lack of software for rare cases like clinical data?

I mean, it sounds like what you have described is solved for photos. I use digikam photo manager, and it automatically discovers all the photos on multiple the volumes, and supports showing files by date, location, tags, path -- whatever you like. And it is not very fragile at all -- it identifies photos by metadata-excluded hash, so moving the photos around does not break the links.

And back in Winamp days, it had an MP3 database which had basically the same properties.

I have no doubt that users could use more and better organization, but it seems like UX problem, not a filesystem one.
> ... including neutral Finland and Sweden deciding to join NATO, perhaps Georgia also.

Did you hear evidence of that anywhere or is that just wild speculation?
We can click through and read wikipedia just like you did. They held that vote after he had fled the nation due to the violent occupation of many government buildings. In fact they held that vote while the parliament building was so occupied.

What if it's closer to the latter? Like, what if the building doesn't have GFCI outlets in the kitchens? And maybe the roof in one of the bathrooms leaks and there's been a bucket under it for the last few months? And maybe the heat was out for 12 days last month? What then? What if the price of saying, "sorry, that's unacceptable" is that those men sleep on the street, instead?

In the West that's exactly what we've done. We've said, sorry, no, you can't provide housing that looks like that, so the operators of those establishments said, OK, then, I won't. And now those men sleep on the street.

We seem to think that we can demand of proprietors whatever we want and they'll have no choice but to comply. But it's simply not true. At some threshold they'll just shut down. And then I guess we can celebrate the elimination of "substandard" housing and declare ourselves morally cleansed.
Independence from whom?
Absolutely. But if a NATO member is attacked, then member states are obligated to come to the member's aid. It's essentially tantamount to saying, if you are at war with a NATO member, you are at war with the whole bloc, which includes USA, UK, France (somewhat in/out member over the decades), Germany, Turkey, and so on. It's a formidable group that acts as a deterrent to any would-be aggressor.

The US is not obligated to intervene in Ukraine, plain and simple. The US has a strategic partnership with Ukraine, I think, but it's not an ally.

> That's also why all major US cruise ships touch a foreign port in their journey

In a pedantic sense, major US cruise ships don't need to touch a foreign port in their journey. The catch being there is only one major US cruise ship - The Pride of America, which generally does Hawaiian cruises: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_of_America

The other major cruise ships you see operating in the US are actually foreign-flagged so they can avoid US environmental, gambling and employment regulations, etc. These are the ships that must touch a foreign port during their journeys.
What do you want them to do exactly, send nukes?
Until the US puts sanctions on Russia's oil/gas and doesn't buy it, then no not every financial or diplomatic weapon is being used. Right now it seems the US is reluctant to do this: https://twitter.com/business/status/1496861082907906048
The cretaceous atmosphere had a higher oxygen concentration (roughly 50% more oxygen than today). It was denser, but the idea that it provided structural support for large animals is ridiculous. Part of the reason animals could be larger then (from "giant" insects to genuinely-giant dinosaurs) is that the extra oxygen meant smaller lungs (or better absorption for non-lung-havers) required to support higher energy use. It isn't because the atmosphere literally stopped them from falling down. It's still a gas, and gravity hasn't changed.
I'm so confused by this comment... o_O

if tanks show up in estonia, latvia and lithuania, will you say 'but they're too small and not worth much?'

you don't have to be the head of intelligence to understand importance of ukraine, even if it isn't technically our job to defend it. Germany, UK and Italy have scored an own goal, as has US policy of russian reset. zero upside, heavy downside, bad trade.
It is also not straightforward to put a NATO ally right on Russia's vulnerable flank

In taking Ukraine, Putin just put Nato on Russia’s border.
Anecdotally when someone is believed to be "Ahead of the curve" in nutrition science they are more likelty to be shown to have shot entirely off the road in a few years.

The difference is that US is actually putting their troops and equipment in Poland though. I also think that attack on Poland would trigger full out response by US.
> 1. We're not mammals that experience torpor. That doesn't even remotely apply to us.

We do not experience torpor naturally. That does not exclude that you can blast a human body with the right amount of hormones or substances that act like ones and artificially induce torpor in humans. NASA has been researching ways to do that for years now [1], given that even a small amount of saved resources per human on a months-long space trip saves a lot of resources in total, not to mention the potential of a reduced metabolic rate also protecting the traveling humans from cosmic radiation-induced damage.

As for "how to induce torpor", well, we don't even know what exactly causes it in animals. We are just guessing - and we are at the same time also noticing that wide swaths of the population show up with a lot of health issues that used to be either rare or mostly spread on older people. Auto-immune diseases (allergies, diabetes, neurodermitis), precocious puberty, cancers of all kinds, obesity in young people, circulatory issues, Alzheimer's and other neuro-degenerative diseases, just to point out the most obvious and most-researched. And since there are only three major things that changed over the last hundred years from the previous default - our food, the introduction of heavy industry, plastics and pollution, and our way of living under modern capitalism (your ordinary medieval farmer did not work 40 hour weeks for the entire year for his whole life) - it is not surprising that correlations appear there. The key thing is to find out if the correlation also has a corresponding causation!

The Russian forces seem to be trying to encircle or assault Kyiv.

I think they've taken the nuclear plant because it is a defensible point along their shortest line of advance. They wouldn't want to move past it without controlling the site.

I hope this is not how nuclear strategy and tactics is prepared. If sane people are in charge, retaliations will be proportional and exchange will be limited.

Feels like until 5AM local this morning we all thought he'd never do a full invasion of Ukraine either...

But in general I'd agree with you. On the other hand, who and literally what army would stop them?
Yes, I understand the concept. I'm saying I think the concept is bull for the reason I mentioned.

>they're mapping the amount of time since the latest emergence of democracy.

again emergence of democracy because you have a revolution and overthrow the dictatorial elements of your own society, and re-establishment of democracy by kicking out some invaders seem like two very different things.
Except Putin has been negotiating with all the other western leaders to avoid this for the past couple weeks, and each one basically failed. Doesn’t that seem different?

A separate multi-select control is just a bad idea from 1990s; it should be disused and forgotten. The proper way is a list of checkboxes. Checkboxes are easy to recognize, easy to style, and easy to navigate and operate.

If no one has the will to stop it… yes. But Japan is a bad example because the US & Japan maintain mutual defense agreements. If it’s invaded the US will act.
My ex used to do some auditing at LA city. Usually these contractors are vehicles to give tons of money to well connected friends of the city council or mayor for services like “consulting” and “management”. They also have large amounts of middle management. In one case social workers couldn’t handle the number of required visits per week (I think they each had 30 clients or more). The solution was to hire more consultants and project managers to analyze the situation instead of hiring people to reduce the workload to reasonable levels.
The CCP won't democratize. It was heading in that direction under Hu, now under Xi Jinping things are consolidating back towards a centralist power.

I agree completely. But if you're in the CCP, and a Chinese patriot, you understand that that makes peaceful Taiwanese reunification even less likely. Also, as long as Taiwan is defacto-independent, there's a terrible risk that they will declare themselves officially-independent. That would be a humiliating loss of face for the CCP and at the very least would probably precipitate a power struggle within the party.

There is deep history between Taiwan and China, and it is this history that is the main reason why China eyes Taiwan. Think of it like if California rebelled and became a separate country from the US 50 years ago. How would the rest of the US think about California?

Again, I completely agree.

It is interesting how two simple rules (no seed oil, no corn syrup) almost entirely prevent you from putting terrible things in your body. It also repeatedly enforces a more mindful attitude towards diet.

The media is shit...

So far Russia's done precision strikes and is simply rolling troops down roads. They won't encounter much resistance.

A month (or more?) ago Zelenskiy said he's not sending Ukrainians to die. Today there's a lot of tough talk but there's no indication that Ukrainians will put up a fight and die en masse...
Why don't we choose between spending money on coal/war/farm subsidies/health care or fusion? There are more than two options.
