Why do you think it is not on the agenda?

In 2016, Ukraine was granted a NATO Comprehensive Assistance Package (CAP), comprising the advisory mission at the NATO Representation to Ukraine as well as 16 capacity-building programmes and Trust Funds.

In 2018, Ukraine was officially given an aspiring member status.

In 2021
NATO reaffirmed that “Ukraine will become a member of the Alliance with the Membership Action Plan (MAP)", which is the most traction on the topic since 2008.

In parallel to all this, joint military exercises and arms shipments have been ramped up.

I found this old article from the Ukrainian perspective to be informative:

https://euromaidanpress.com/2021/06/15/the-2021-brussels-nat...

>But the more the merrier - you have another ally you can at least half-count on the safer you are.

This seems to be the critical question. I think that current NATO members are safer without expanding east. I certainly feel that way today! In the future, I don't think conflict is less likely if Ukraine joins NATO and there are more us missiles and troops stationed on the Russian border.
I briefly used Zulip as part of a friend's community, rather than work. My experience with it was that it's great at first, but when you start to get masses of messages and users, the client becomes laggy and unresponsive. Scrolling through messages particularly sucked because of this.

I'm not sure if it was just our setup, because when I checked the official Zulip web chat, I had the same problem.
Quaise seems to think it's possible:

> “What we intend to do is go to existing power plants—it could be a coal power plant, it could be a gas power plant, any of the thousands of fossil-fired power plants that exists in the United States and around the world—and we will propose to them to create a small geothermal field around them, which is matched to the turbine specification of the power plant. What comes out of the ground is steam that feeds into the turbine, and the rest is what they’ve always done. The turbine creates electricity. The plant is already connected to the grid,”

https://www.powermag.com/a-game-changing-vision-for-geotherm...

Could just be marketing fluff; I'm not an expert here. But don't coal plants exclusively use steam turbines?

Edit: Seems that lots of energy in the US comes from steam turbines: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/how-electric....

This part I felt was especially specious:

> Both backchanneling and micromanaging are easy to identify. When there are different answers to the same question, that’s the result of backchanneling. When you see clones instead of people, it’s a sign of micromanagement. The good news is that once you see these trends emerging in your team, there are some concrete steps you can take to roll them back.

First of all, there are plenty reasons to have a private conversation, and backchanneling is not a priori a bad thing. And the part about micromanagement leading to people "being clones" is gobbledygook—what does that even mean? And then the suggestion that those things are magically fixed just by the most basic entry level management practice of 1:1s and retros.

Frankly, it feels as though the author has tried to generalize some personal experience and completely lost the script. In reality, management is very hard and very contextual. For any given action there is a time and a place. Specifics matter.
I suspect that in Russia "Nazi" implies anti-Russian rather than anti-Semitic. The Germans killed about 20 million Russians in WW2, including about 15 million civilians.

Perhaps those remarks sound bizarre to Western ears because we interpret them differently.
It was "Don't be evil" - and, yes, they've removed it :D
> Nothing the Russians say about the origins of the conflict seem very credible. A more plausible origin is Putin’s megalomania and paranoid fear of being eventually displaced by a homegrown pro-Europe, pro-democracy movement in Russia.

Ideology seems to be part of it but Russian security concerns are part of it too. Suggesting that NATO expansion was a mistake is not the same thing as blaming this war on NATO.

Anyone who does blame NATO should ask themselves why Ukraine wanted to join in the first place (because the Ukrainians know the Russians won't respect their sovereignty).

I made exactly zero appeals to exceptionalism.

The period of relative peace in which we live is called the Pax Americana because it's primarily driven by US military hegemony and there's no escaping that fact.

"Miserable" is a bit too much no? An extra layer of light clothing or getting up a doing a few steps will more than compensate for that.

I personally thing that "huge" sacrifice is feasible specially when the comfortableness is directly related to democratic countries being invaded on what is just the first step of something even much more sinister.

I am not eager at all. I am not calling for aggression against any country. I have been ideologically opposed to much of the military action of the countries I resided in.

Are you not aware of death and life changing injuries mounting as you observe? Whose people and how many of them need to meet that fate until you think I may have a point hoping for an intervention?

I happen to think that a decisive, overwhelming and united military action against the forces of the aggressor may prevent a larger bloodshed. History seem to offer some evidence that backs that conclusion.

One major quirk of the interface is that can be difficult to, at a glance, identify what topic/dm you are actively on, which has lead to a handful of "Oops, what was supposed to be a DM" message deletes.
Its alright to say you are speculating without drawing parallels to misinformation. They are not the same thing.
FYI, some Russians who oppose the war get their information about the events from Ukrainian websites.
Yeah, they suppressed their attempt to have state in 1917 and when communist regime and it's USSR ended, Ukraine finally had its independence.

Nothing obvious about Russia needing to annex surrounding countries again.
"vast majority" isn't right though. The market cap of the company is $700 bill. The equities are worth around $350 bill. So people who spend all day figuring the value of Berkshire think the other assets make up 50% of the value. The book value of those private assets (worth about $350 billion) isn't especially meaningful. Amazon book value is $100 bill or something, the company is valued at $1.5T or so. Apple is less than 100 bill book value, market cap 2.5 trill or so.

One could effectively arb out the 350 bill of equities, and they'd be paying 350 bill for a set of assets which have a book value of 100-150 bill. So what? It says nothing.
Well, my friend in Russia just yesterday donated $10,000 in Bitcoin to Ukrainian defense fund. Had he done that using paypal, he'd already be in Gulag being raped with a broken bottle.

Now he wants to leave Russia, but Russia is being banned from the SWIFT network, so he can't get any of his savings out. Enter Bitcoin again.

> They are irreversible and if the Bitcoin is stolen that's not the merchant's problem.

This seems consistent with the bitcoin ethos but incompatible how the economy and legal system work. If someone buys a physical item from your physical store with a hot check, a stolen credit card, or marked bills that were just stolen from a bank, you don't get to keep the money, even if police aren't able to recover the item you sold. This is normally referred to as being defrauded.

Isn't the correct term "vote with your wallet"? "voting with your feet" implies switching jobs or emigrating.

A lot of websites from that era are unusable from mobile phones. Whatever your business or marketing strategy, there's a significant chance the first time a new customer clicks on a link to your webpage, he's doing so from a mobile phone.

The Russians have deployed SAMs in Belarus and has an operating radius that covers almost the entire theater.

According to Rob Lee's twitter it appears Grand Parent's deduction is correct because previously a Ukranian Su-27 that blew up in Kiev was being falsely reported as Russian jet.

https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1497083662814244864

I have to note how difficult it is right now. "Ukranian side" (it is not clear who the original disseminator network is) appear to be using footages of ARMA 3 and DCS: World overlayed with voice and artifacts from Twitter's compression algorithms really can fool many to believe Ukraine is putting up fierce resistance.

The latest disinformation seems to be a seemingly staged conversation between a Ukranian driver and a Russian APC squad. I don't know who stands to benefit from these disinformation campaign but :

1) Ukranian side can raise morale by selling perception that Russia is poorly equipped and suffering from poor morale.

2) Russian side would purposefully allow such disinformation to spread for an element of surprise, might even be the one manufacturing it.

It is probably a combination of the two but from today's executive order from Putin to launch an all out offensive from all direction will be telling.

Send in the poorly equipped, inexperienced troops in first to feign false sense of security and send in your regular well equipped army.

White noise on all sides and I am noting too, just how difficult it is to get the real story but it seems Twitter makes this extra difficult and its not clear who is leaking these fake disinformation stories and to whom it is aimed to ultimately benefit.

We simply do not know what is happening but I am leaning towards #2, today's encirclement and seige of Mariupol, which was long touted as putting up effective resistance by pro-Ukraine twitter accounts, seems to have collapsed in a matter of hours, sort of like the "Ghost of Kiev" myth
I was referring the the comment threads here
Online forums are full of misinformed high anxiety folks that are extremely anti-nuclear-anything. So, while I agree with you completely, I wanted my comment to last for longer than two minutes before being flagged and downvoted into oblivion.
Whatever that means. How do you define "fraudulent" on a consensus focused distributed database? Seems like -- not at all.
There are 100 different features in Gitlab, and only one of those is keeping your code in version control. It's valuable for any size team. Why would you want to waste a small team's time trying to DIY everything when they can just install one solution that does everything for them for free?
There's a reason Rossi insisted on his M1 stay carbureted for years while Yamaha was shipping the ycc-t junk on the R1. It was quite public and controversial at the time. Obviously Yamaha was pressuring him to market their ycc-t by winning races with it, but he kept rejecting it after testing and kept dominating motogp using carbs instead.

When and how Afghanistan Attacke any NATO member?

Someone claiming it was defensive doesn’t make it so.

If Afghanistan can be called a defensive war, Russian „demilitarisation“ of the Ukraine is purely humanitarian operation.
Because many people on HN have personal morality perhaps.
A little misleading. Germany isn’t delivering anything. The weapons are in NL but are German made… and Germany has a say in their distribution.

Germany isn’t going to do anything that will harm long term relations with the state they will need to buy 40-50% of their gas from. At least not for the next 10-20 years until they have an alternative. They cant just buy LNG from elsewhere, they dont even have a LNG port so far as I’m aware.
On the other hand, there were reports that the Russian navy has damaged parts of the internet cable between Norway and the Arctic. Norway is a NATO member, too. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29903777

> I go to sleep every day hoping for Western/NATO military action against Russian military units in Ukraine.

You stated you want Western militaries to intervene, which is an act of aggression. If you’re not willing to join your local military in a combat role, don’t state you want them to get involved in a war. Unless you post proof of your rank and MOS (or equivalent) in a NATO military, it sounds like you’re a coward who wants others to die so that you can feel good about yourself and get good boy points on the internet.
Yielding to terrorists sets bad precedent. Where does it stop?

Well, i don't think that there's actually that much that can be done here, since that page does contain adequate documentation and a linear example migration path:

8.11.Z -> 8.12.0 -> 8.17.7 -> 9.5.10 -> 10.8.7 -> 11.11.8 -> 12.0.12 -> 12.1.17 -> 12.10.14 -> 13.0.14 -> 13.1.11 -> 13.8.8 -> 13.12.15 -> 14.0.12 -> latest 14.Y.Z

It's just that the process itself is troublesome, in that you can'd just go from let's say 11.11.8 to 14.6.5 in one go and let all of the thousands of changes and migrations be applied automatically with no problems, as some software out there attempts to (with varying degrees of success).

Of course, it's probably not viable due to the significant changes that the actual application undergoes and therefore one just needs to bite the bullet and deal with either constant small updates or few and longer updates for private instances.

But hey, thanks for creating the issue and best of luck!
I don't want CTS and IIUC cold hands are bad. I can bundle up my body but my fingers have to be out for working which means cold is NG

One thing I have found is of course heat rises. I put a fan on the floor pointed at 45 degrees toward the ceiling and suddenly my place is warm with the same heating settings. I've done this at the last 4 places I've lived and the difference is striking. One place even used those high wall mounted air-conditioning + heater that blow the air out but it wasn't enough without the extra fan for circulation.

> and you don't trust you customers

Seeing as “remember the password” does about nothing in the desktop app on my own machine near which only I ever come—Steam's attitude toward the users is crystal clear, and I'd say it's weird that they lived almost two years with that arrangement.
According to ADEME, you can save around 7% energy per °C
At 21°C I can work normally at home (21.5°C to 25°C means absolute comfort to me), sitting behind a desk. At 20°C I am uncomfortable. Extra clothing doesn't help: anything beyond the thick jumper and fluffy slippers annoys me just as much as the lower temperature. I usually have to stop and take a hot shower in the middle of the day to get back to some semblance of comfort (not really conserving energy there then). At 19°C and lower I am miserable. Something to do with being tall and slim I guess. In summer heat my range of comfortable temperatures lies a few degrees higher too, so that evens out.

19°C is fine if I'm remodelling, hoovering, doing the dishes, or anything else that involves not sitting behind a desk, and I don't mind being out in freezing cold as long as I'm moving and have very, very good gloves on, but working behind a desk with my brain requires my body to be comfortable, relaxed, and not annoyed by stiff fingers hitting the wrong keys.

> it's madness to even consider running a publicly-reachable Gitlab instance...

why would you want it to be a public instance?
Contrary to what you're insinuating, this is one of the clearest cases in recorded history of conflicts. Russia is the aggressor and started a territorial war against Ukraine - already in 2014, now turned into a full-scale invasion. You need to check your moral compass and brush up your knowledge of international relations and history.
How is that not defensive?
I would add cutting of Crimea from water supply. All I heard here in comments was reasoning about making cost of possessing it higher for Russia not about suffering of people in Crimea.

I don't have time to hand separate the Indonesian casino spammers from the potential GSoC participants. And I do mean "by hand"-- the Gitlab UI requires me to click a button to open up a secondary menu, then choose add or delete, then wait for the user screen to reload.

At least when sifting through an email spam folder back in the 90s I could press the delete button multiple times in a row. Even that would be a relatively usable solution.
Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger are 91 and 97 years old respectively and have famously bad diets and do no exercise yet are both healthy and productive. Many other examples, like William Shatner, who is 91. Or Henry Kissinger, 98. I think much of conventional wisdom about weight, diet, health is wrong. Outcomes are influenced much more by genes than anything else. That's how these old guys keep going when the 'conventional health wisdom' by the experts says they should be dead.
You are scrambling together two different news.
If you do that with minor versions, you should generally be fine. When you need to upgrade across major versions, you'll most likely be met with the following in case you haven't followed the updates closely:

> It seems you are upgrading from major version X to major version Y.

> It is required to upgrade to the latest Y.0.x version first before proceeding.

> Please follow the upgrade documentation at https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/index.html#upgrading-to-a-...

In addition to that, you should NEVER just bump versions without having backups (which you've hopefully considered), so there is probably another step in there, either validating that your latest automatic backups work, or even just manually copying the current GitLab data directory into another folder, in the case of an Omnibus install, or doing the same manually for all components in the more distributed installation type.

Disclaimer: this has little do to with GitLab in particular but is something you should consider with any and all software packages that you upgrade, especially the kind with non-trivial dependencies and data storage mechanisms, like PostgreSQL. Of course, you can always dump the DB but it's easier to back up everything else as well by taking the instances offline and making data copies of all container volumes/bind mounts.

Back when we used to have offices rather than WFH, we eventually had employees sit in different rooms by their preferred room temperature rather than any practical function. There was so much silly behavior over the matter that was resolved by this (like people insisting on wearing coats and blankets in a 20C room because it was "freezing").
