Yes, when you are in defense pact with nuclear powers, you have way better detterence on your side. Why is that so hard to understand?

People are also forgetting that you can't just instantly admit Ukraine into NATO and instantly teleport all the alliance armies onto the battlefield. Trying to make it quicker would very likely just hasten the Russian invasion (because the head douche apparently wanted Ukraine all along), so it really boils down to "do you want to start throwing nukes for state that you never made nuke-backed promises to?"

It's appalling how many people here are not seeing bigger picture and would love to just try to end humanity just because some nation got dealt _really_ bad cards. Economically Russia is cratering, so the impatience to end it all here (or in 2014) is just irrational. They were already losing technology (e.g. see how their space program is faltering), this will just accelerate Russia's slide into irrelevance. Even their weapons tech is not keeping up, see the latest kerfuffle in Caucasus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Nagorno-Karabakh_war
That's a weird way of saying 2/3 people didn't feel happier.
40000 * 837000 = 33.48 billion dollars. This solution, as implemented, can not possibly solve the problem, ever. The upkeep on the housing alone would be a billion dollars a year!
While that is technically correct based on the UN Charter, it's meaningless in practice. None of the permanent Security Council members are willing to take direct action on this issue.

Your implementation has a lot of accessibility problems AND requires javascript AND doesn't work on firefox mobile.

Also: Congratulations, we collectively proved the article wrong. It says, "The browser’s built-in controls are quite sufficient". Here we see that you usually can't "just use standard controls", and even when you do, you need a lot of JS on top to make them accessible, usable, nice to look at with an acceptable API.
35% dependant on Europe for energy in GDP.

China is taking Russian engineers and cheap resources. In the meantime, Putin complained that they didn't invest enough back.

Total GDP ain't big either. Military is 6% of their gdp with a lot of older material too ( = maintenance cost)

Very low vaccination rates, means very low trust in the governement.

Russia is doing this because of a weak position. Not from a strong one.

China is giving something to give Russia confidence, but really not much.

Heck it took until the 1990's for women to be US Senators (but for an exception or two).

Curiously a US woman was a representative before women had gained the vote. So kind of topsy-turvy there.

The sad part is how long such spending has gone on across the state.

They're homeless because they're mentally ill, not because of the tautological nonsense of "they're homeless because they haven't a home". The mental illness is exceeded only by the stupidity of the policies.

Instead of the singular focus on establishing state-paid housing, _requiring_ treatment for the chronically homeless is far overdue. The option of shooting-up and camping on the streets clearly has not worked in any way -- show me the data for how that helps anybody.

Yes he could have. This would be a bad strategy. Not only would he have to worry about his other investments getting hurt, there are a lot more stockholders in Russia today than there were a decade ago, and Putin ultimately relies on a reasonably happy population to keep running Russia.

> Or they see it like Poker as an "all in" move.

The “all in” move was when they suggested they NATO not meeting their demands to permanently commit to excluding Ukraine and withdraw allied forces from Eastern European members of NATO was an aggressive act pushing them to war in Ukraine. When NATO didn't fold, they either had to invade or show the Putin regime as a paper tiger, which is a mortal blow for an authoritarian regime.

They spent many years on efforts to weaken governments of the West and relations between them for the purpose of doing something like that and having Western unity collapse. Maybe they misjudged and thought that would pay off.

It has always saddened me that the term "mom's group" on the internet has become a shorthand for "anti-vax propaganda with a mix of flame wars over breast feeding, working moms, and attachment parenting"

I've been part of a mom's group for well over a decade that's evolved from internet forum to Facebook group and the support women get for infertility, pregnancy loss, and horribly painful experiences as a parent is beyond anything we could hope for from our offline groups of family and friends. It is so much easier to talk about these things where someone is always willing to listen and sympathize and can be trusted to keep everything said private.

It saddens me that the disappearance of message boards means that it is much harder to find this sort of support these days. I'd hope that Poppy Seed Health can provide some support, but it looks like a poor substitute.

> I don't know where the puppet masters and the narratives came in, you were the one bringing this bullshit in here, I didn't see any Russians. Where you got your ideas only you know.

You suggested very literally that the separatist movement in east Ukraine was a Russian ploy from the start to justify war. Somehow to you that’s more reasonable that just assuming it came about organically.

> Russia went to war. And there was maybe peace in your book but for the people in Ukraine there wasn't peace and now there won't be for a much longer time.

Objectively, the lines hadn’t moved and people stopped dying. We had peace and the conditions for a peaceful resolution and new borders.

Then all of a sudden, things escalated. A big important gas pipeline blew up. Then Russia came in and got involved.

You can believe one of two things:

1. Russia wanted so badly to curb stomp their economy that they blew up their own important pipeline to justify war.

2. Either the CIA or the neonazi militias, or both working together, are responsible for these attacks.

Neither makes a ton of sense, but one has to be true.
The flip side of that is that the Europeans are heavily dependent on those exports.
Looking at this docs page[1], it doesn't look like the execution environment gets reset completely between each request. Do you partition free/paying users or public/private repos? It seems like an attacker could gain a foothold for longer than just their request with malicious code.

The risk of NATO using nukes first is 0.

For that to happen they would have to first turn into a tyranical shithole like Russia where an impotent old man can do as he pleases.

They don't start with nukes.
They first murder journalists, bomb their own appartments, poison opposition leaders.

They only country in the world which is remotely close to doing a first strike is Russia, and perhaps North Korea.
I should not be surprised that soybean oil is the most widely consumed oil, but I had not actually realized it. I had to look it up; It is in margarine, mayonnaise, and most vegetable oils. And I just had not payed that close of attention.
Was looking forward to reading it. Seems blocked where I am (SEA).
But the team DID note that "the SO + CO diet caused more weight gain over the 16-week study than the other HFD" (As opposed to the modified soybean diet). This is a quote from the paper, not the article.

According to the paper the Linoleic acid composition of the oils in question are:

soybean: %52.90
modified SO: %7.42 (aka plenish)
coconut: %0.06

So while some of the genetic expressions may exist in both, both have LA, and the higher LA = higher obesity according to the paper authors (they did not give a graphic for the obesity differences, unfortunately)
This stuff should be banned outright.

Fatty liver is a big deal. Insulin resistance is as well. Both lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, and Type II diabetes.

The impacts on our health care system from these conditions dwarf anything else. It should be noted that these conditions, along with obesity dramatically increased the death/hospitalization rate for COVID.
I've been seeing this shit for decades.

The problem is as soon as you end up with a tag/search system with any complexity, you end up recreating paths/folders/whatever again. As soon as you have a multiuser system, you're forced into it.

No one has ever justified to me why i need to stop referring /etc/whatever/config
or /users/username/whatever

We'd either need to scrap everything we use today, or emulate it anyways to use things like cp or mv.

The answer is both. Tags are useful, but not a replacement.

This article is full of inaccuracies, I don't think the author really understand the subject.

> As Rails continues to replace the usage of threads with fibers

That's not what we're doing... Rails doesn't really use threads anyway. We just introduced an indirection so that the request state can be stored either on thread local or fiber local variables.

> An isolation level determines how database tractions are propagated to other users and systems.

The author is confusing `active_support.isolation_level` which is either Fiber of Thread with database transaction isolations. The concept is similar, hence why the name was chosen, but it's two very different things.

> Ideally, in the foreseeable future, we can expect good performance improvements to Rails I/O operations.

Not really no. I/O will still be IOs, you may gain a tiny bit because of the cheaper "context switches", but it's gonna be very marginal for the vast majority of Rails apps.

The goal is to allow the community to use fiber based server if they wish, but I (the author of most of these changes) don't except any substantial performance improvement from it.

I switched over fully to AMD with Ryzen 3 and haven't looked back. However, AMD uses TSMC to fabricate all their chips (as does Apple, Broadcom, others). I am very concerned about TSMC given the geopolitical risk with China and the catastrophic effects it will have on AMD.

I can't know your full situation but I'd like to think its still very possible!
This isn’t serious research. It was a survey of students, from June/July 2020. Barely a few months of lockdown by then.
For the active participants, yes. I'm not so sure this applies to the ruling class though.
On one hand: The program “is producing more units than promised, at a lower cost than expected,” Garcetti wrote.

But I have trouble thinking that’s an efficient use of funds.
And I once again asking the age-old question: Are you really sure that the people in power would choose a military conflict with China to stop the invasion, when simply destroying TSMC can be the alternative? Surely, if the fabs are destroyed, half of the world’s semiconductor market would evaporate, but the cost of a military conflict with a superpower like China is extremely high as well.

There have been unsubstantiated rumors for years that the Taiwanese military has outfitted TSMC fabs with explosives that can be rigged to go off in the event of a mainland invasion in order to deny China access to TSMC capabilities. Even physical destruction may be unnecessary. Due to the complexity of the semiconductor supply chain, many say that an embargo of materials and the removal of experts are enough to paralyze the fabs for many years.

If GPUs are good at displaying pixels, the benchmarks and evidence should be easy to come by. As I mentioned in another comment, I use iTerm2 and it's GPU acceleration has no visual impact but makes CPU usage much higher while sitting idle. Turning it off is a huge improvement.
How, in your estimation, could it have been averted then?

The west doesn’t really hold the cards at the moment.
Treatment would IMO, include housing while under treatment, and some sort of halfway-housing afterwards.
Well, let's see what happens when Taiwan applies to NATO then.

> Taiwan has semiconductors western industry depends on.

For once it isn't about oil.

> And the primary reason for AUKUS and giving the Aussies nuclear sub tech is precisely so their subs will have the range to help counter China.

I'm sure the Chinese are most impressed. But Australia too will stand by when the Chinese invade Taiwan.

> China just "sanctioned" (largely performative) Lockheed and Boeing over a $100 million arms sale to Taiwan.

You need to separate out the economic incentives from the political ones there to get a clearer picture of what is happening.

> Never mind various economic measures from all parts of the West. The developed world is already doing things about China's Taiwan ambitions, and have motivations far stronger than altruism to continue doing so.

China doesn't care about any of that: they care about the United States and them alone because that is the only country that can credibly put up enough force projected into that region to put a stop to it if they decide to move.

> Ukraine by contrast is not as well integrated as Taiwan, and it's their desire to be integrated that set Putin off in the first place.

You could Swap Ukraine and Taiwan and substitute Xi and you have a winner at some point in the future, provided Taiwan would express a desire to join NATO.

> If said integration meant nothing, Putin wouldn't be invading.

Put would invade regardless, and this is the mistake that everybody is making: the NATO approach is a figleaf, that only happened after things had already started to slide inside Ukraine. But I'm pretty sure that only a very small fraction of HN is aware of that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Yanukovych

Was placed to serve as a Russian puppet to keep Ukraine out of the influence of the West, which the country overwhelmingly wanted. After being tossed out (he's since moved to Russia) the whole separatism affair started fueled by Russia. Ukraine had every right to do so, and the occupation and subsequent invasion are proof positive that Ukraine was right about Russia's intentions, not the other way around.

You will find a lively corresponding sentiment in lots of other former USSR states.

3. Someone selling something that they think is beneficial to their customer, does not mean it is not beneficial. I would say most people who sell things honestly think their customers will benefit from their product.

I've always found the Phoenix docs to be more like references. There's "guide-like" aspects to it but in my opinion it's no where near the level of where the Rails docs are. I agree with the person we're replying to, I almost always found myself having to research third party sources when learning Phoenix (blog posts, IRC, etc.) to get answers to questions that I never had to ask about Rails, Flask or Django because their docs covered it very well.

The Rails doc feels like you have DHH at your side guiding you on exactly how to do something in the context of a practical application and whenever you think to yourself "that's great, but what if I want to do...", often times the very next sentence in the docs will answer your exact question.

The Rails routing docs https://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html are a great example of this when they talk about namespaces and scopes but there's a million other examples.

It feels like it was written by folks who have been through the thick of it and back 100 times over to extract out the exact questions folks would have when using various features of the framework. Each piece of the docs feels like it's a mini book written on par with any book on a technical subject and then there's a completely separate reference guide docs with more examples.

Even the styling of the page itself just feels good. It's really easy to skim and navigate. The Phoenix docs feel more like a big wall of text with a few small headers and code blocks. It's hard to explain but personally my brain identifies the Rails docs as easy to mentally parse where as the Phoenix docs are not based on nothing more than the styling aspect alone.

Overall the Rails docs feel like they are written with a ton of empathy around the person reading them, completely holding your hand from beginning to end to solve a practical issue which is exactly what you need when learning something new. The reference guides are always there if all you care about are a few quick examples.
In the UK, we call it rapeseed oil.
In some places, generic "vegetable oil" is all or mostly soybean oil, even some of the cheap brands. The midwest US has lots of corn and soybeans, and it is pretty natural that soybean oil would be fairly common.

And honestly, a lot of oils seem obscure. I use grapeseed oil, but hadn't heard of it 10 years ago. I don't know anyone else that does either. They sell it in one of the grocery store chains here, though, and I decided to try it. Something similar must be the case for soybean oil: Some stores in Norway sell a bottle labeled 'soybean oil', so someone must be buying it.

You mean "historical Russian territory" that the Russian Empire took with conquest? Maybe France should retake historical French territory from the Napoleonic era too?
Maybe I didn't express myself very well. The server stores the public key, instead of the current symmetric secret. So the new "secret" is the public key. It could be published of course but there is zero point to do so.
So now if the database is exfiltrated by a hacker without anyone noticing, he still couldn't produce tokens to log in as a user.
Aside from providing arms I doubt we're going to see much else from NATO. That of course assumes Russia won't do anything truly diabolical.

Putin's playing a long game here and on an economic front he's likely betting most of the sanctions won't stick. With 2024 looming large I wouldn't be surprised to a gradual reset in US-Russia relations depending on the election result.
