> Putin is intelligent, no doubt

Russia was a super power with some of the best engineers in the world. Today it needs to use war to keep another Slav country on its side. Even the UK keeps the commonwealth in place even with very diverse countries that used to be forced colonies.

To not have a conscience does not make you intelligent. Russia should be economically and socially way more developed that it currently is. To sell gas is not high tech.
What whack-a-mole? Just automate it so if it gets double-spent, you revoke the key. If you really feel like it, cancel the account if they keep doing it, but I'm not sure you even need to bother. What have you lost? The bandwidth to download the game?
In short, yes. As with any remote teamwork, things can go a little awry without good communication.

Toptal run their own technical screening process (can’t attest to if that’s painful or not) and we’ve never done any on our side. “Interviews” from us have always been a quick check that people are interested in working on the problems and then code quality is reviewed during first commits in the trial period.
Even with more layers 18°C is low enough to impact joint movement which makes it difficult, even in healthy young people, to type on a keyboard. Similar to how summer heat without A/C interferes with concentration. Brave personal sacrifices to save the planet.

> Russel used the following examples to describe the phenomenon:

> • I am firm, you are obstinate, he is a pig-headed fool.

> • I am righteously indignant, you are annoyed, he is making a fuss over nothing.

> • I have reconsidered the matter, you have changed your mind, he has gone back on his word.

> Russell Conjugations don’t always have to follow the “I, you, they” formula either. In fact, you’re more likely to encounter them in more subtle ways:

> • You negotiated boldly, but your coworker wasn’t being a team player.

> • Your own child is self-assured, but the neighbor’s son is a brat.

How has this not been flagged as Russian propaganda?

Thank you since this one is seemingly well verified I'd like to get the word out
That's in a similar vein to the "Putin is a madman" arguments. Whether or not it's true, it's completley unhelpful. Simple game theory here gives you the options of trying diplomatic options and not trying. If he's a madman it doesn't matter. If ithe's not it might.

What that actually shows you is there is literally no downside to diplomacy because at worst it doesn't matter. To assume that your opponent isn't at least a semi-rational actor that wants something they're prepared to negotiate for is just throwing your hands in the air and saying "I've tried nothing but I'm all out of ideas".

If enough human rights abuses show up in media, NATO will grow a pair and get directly involved. That's probably Putin's biggest fear, and why he blusters so much. He thinks the west is decadent and cowardly. So far, in this case, he's been right.

The thing about western democracies is that they respond to public sentiment. If the populations are seething with anger, they will want blood. Especially the Americans.
Wow, this happens in my '22 Pilot nearly every day. Glad I'm not the only one annoyed/concerned about it.
Or do none of that. I understand that this article is meant to encourage people to learn some cool stuff within programming languages, but it’s also discouraging. The better answer in my view is to learn how to build a tree walking interpreter with Crafting Interpreters, then build whatever comes to mind. Want functional programming? Add immutability and first class functions. How about concurrency? Add an event queue. Then try to make a bytecode interpreter or a compiler. Sure these ideas require some of the knowledge detailed in the article, but you can learn that info JIT. Don’t try to learn it all before you get started. Just start and see what happens.
Or, and this might be a wild idea, Russia could mind it's own god damn business in it's own god damn territory seeing as how 50% of that list is "respect our previous wars of aggression against your territory" and "don't join alliances which would've prevented our wars of aggression against your territory".

But the internet is rife with Russian shills at every turn right now.

New Research Points to Wuhan Market as Pandemic Origin
Glimpses through the fog of an ongoing war evoke outrage, powerlessness and fear; cold, verified facts and numbers of the past (recent enough that we have good records, yet long enough ago for sober analysis and fact-checking) is soul-crushing.

Started educating myself on local history before arriving in Serbia. Today I am learning that expressing outrage at my government’s current actions might sometimes imply disrespect to people around me, who quite recently suffered from the enemy of that government. (Your comment helped me understand that.)
See my excerpt from the FAQ above.

I'm not sure why you think it's important to discuss that stuff here. As I said, it's not like there aren't hundreds, probably thousands of other forums on the web explicitly for that kind of topic.

Now, if Ukraine or Russia were using some kind of novel radar jamming technology, or they were using a neural net to control their troop movements, or something like that, that would be within the scope of the site.

If they flatten Kiyv.. I don’t know. I would want my country to send in troops.
What Putin's perspective is doesn't really matter though, he will do whatever he wants to do for whatever misguided/crazy reasoning is going on in his head. In the end the only thing that matters is how the rest of the world reacts.

Letting a megalomaniacal dictator that has clearly lost command of his senses run amok, especially when in control of a large nuclear arsenal is a risk we can not really afford, and appeasing such a person will only feed into the cycle of demands.

If you're making your own language, it helps to write real programs in it (for some value of 'real'). There's so much detail to flesh out of what seem like good ideas in the abstract.

For a niche-enough language you might contribute in this way even if you didn't start it.

> It continues to rapidly expand right next to Russia’s borders

this is bullshit. NATO is not expanding, NATO is not the actor that is able to perform that action, rather it's emergent property of sovereign countries choosing to join NATO.

So who is Putin to tell what sovereign countries can or cannot do? If he's so unhappy with a choice that sovereign country is making with regard to joining a defensive alliance, maybe he should offer something better instead and not behave like a crazy lunatic dictator?

There is nothing valuable in "look at it from Putin's perspective" argument when his perspective is tyrannical.

I seriously thought I was the only one. I could spend hours refactoring and organizing code
I have a 2021 Honda and have had no problem with the auto braking, so I'm going to assume that either the cars affected have a specific defect from the factory or something specific has broken.

To all appearances, the way it is set up on my car is designed to prevent phantom braking and does so.

The big orange warning flashes occasionally when there is a large speed difference compared to the car ahead. This can happen on an off ramp, or when a car ahead is turning right.

In these cases, it's never braked on its own, and it seems likely that it would only brake to mitigate a collision rather than avoiding one. This, to me, is a reasonable tradeoff that surely is by design.

When using the adaptive cruise control, it once or twice (in well over a year) has reacted to a car in the wrong lane, for instance, on a three lane highway it detected the vehicle in the left lane momentarily and slowed slightly. But it didn't panic brake, and it's very rare that it has an issue with lanes, even on sweeping curves.

The only time it has actually panic braked was when someone ahead of me slowed to turn right, and I was startled and hit the brake and it assisted so as to brake much harder. It seems like it was activated only when I hit the brakes and only because of the velocity/abruptness of the pedal movement, which is exactly what it's intended to do (may be classified separately as brake assist). I didn't need to brake that hard, but I wasn't rear ended so...

The final glitch I've had is that when driving in heavy snow/sleet/rain the radar stops working when gunk covers the sensor. This has only happened once and when it happened, it only shut off the adaptive cruise control without doing anything else undesirable. It's not clear to me if there is some reason there isn't a smooth cover to prevent accumulation.

Sometimes incredibly weird electrical glitches can arise from somewhere that the average service place will not find or even really look for. I had a different car (not a Honda) that was about 6 years old, no visible rust, and seemed afflicted by electrical gremlins. It turned out that due to poor design of the taillights, water had collected in them, and the exposed wiring had corroded to where it looked like it had been at the bottom of the ocean. I only found out because one taillight finally stopped working at all. But it was a lesson on how simple damage to wiring can be hard to diagnose, because inconsistent voltage or whatever scrambles the computers. In theory, that car had a built in diagnostic function to warn a taillight was out. But it never registered at all.

I expect a Japanese car to not have problems like this until 200,000 miles in the rust belt. But everybody tends to rest on their laurels.
That is a great point. I always figured that if this was going to happen that it would be at the moment when America was most confused, the transition period from one president to the next, but you are right, that coincided with COVID which may well have screwed up their timetable.
Even if true pre WWII era ammo is often found by sportsmen and tested, it works just fine. Modern shell design which is over 100 years old doesn't degrade with time very much.

New ammo is more reliable of course, but old works well enough if you have a gun to use it in.

I enjoy writing code with Agda. I like writing APIs that can't be used incorrectly and dependent types are so much more powerful that anything I knew before. Also unicode/custom mixfix operators (if_then_else_) are fun to use. Other languages I've seen just can't offer these things. Probably it is not the best choice to create something you want to run as its ecosystem is not quite developed though, but I also like to reinvent the wheel..

Indeed. There's no way I can work at 18°C. Four layers of shirts plus wrist warmers won't be enough to keep my fingers flexible on the keyboard if I sit still and code.

Edit: and I know this because I start the workday at 17°C in winter months. I live in an old building with poor-ish window insulation so I turn off heating in most rooms for the night, and in the bedroom for the day to conserve energy.
So, it was unavoidable for Putin yo invade Ukraine because a few countries were joining a military club he doesn't like? And shelling and using clusters bomb on civilians was also unavoidable?

In Australia, the state of Victoria in particular, most houses are not heated outside of the 'lounge room' which is not itself generally heated overnight. In the winter months it routinely gets down to or below 0C. Energy is expensive and many houses are not sealed properly.

As such, Australians tend to wear more clothing indoors during the winter months, including hats and sometimes even gloves. Electric blankets and hot water bottles tend to be used in bedrooms. Doors between rooms are kept closed, and only rooms that have people in them are heated, and only while people are in them.

So yes, if people in the EU were willing to accept living like this in the winter, they could save a lot of energy. Similarly, in the summer, most Australian houses only cool a single room, and even at that set the AC to around 27 degrees. If people in the EU lived like Australians, they could most likely survive without Russian gas.

That’s actually what I was thinking, that militaries had a lot of these stockpiled.

Based on all of these wonderful comments, how fast can a military go through 500 of these?
They announced pausing, but didn't pause.
Why though? Is it to not have disappointed customers because it takes 4 hours to heat up and it's harder to explain to people how to set a timer to turn on at 3am, or because keeping a higher temperature delta between indoors and outdoors is actually more efficient with this system?
> If a stolen credit card is used to buy Bitcoin, then Bitcoin is used in Steam, who eats the fraud

The credit card company and/or cryptocurrency exchange would eat the fraud.

>and why would they not push against the others for restitution if it's all trackable?

This is moving the goalposts. We're not discussing whether such a scheme would benefit banks/credit card companies/crypto exchanges, we're discussing whether valve implemented such a scheme for steam. I'm sure the aforementioned parties appreciate such a scheme, just as banks would appreciate a scheme where stores were checking the bills they accept were stolen or not. However, that says nothing about whether such a scheme exists, or whether steam was voluntarily doing so with no apparent benefit to itself. Nor does it change the fact that such a push was non-existent (or at least non-visible) in 2017.

It’s not, it’s a generic term.

This is the M270 system which was developed in the 1970s and 1980s to meet the US Army’s Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) requirement. It was just a way of naming the requirement, kind of like “JSF”, and it stuck.

At the time rocket launchers were most commonly referred to as Multiple Rocket Launchers (MRL) and were mostly simple truck-based variants.

However MLRS had been used to refer to the capability by others in the past and it was never trademarked or limited to the US requirement and the M270. Over time it became common to refer to any modern integrated multiple rocket launcher as an MLRS, leaving the MRL naming only for less sophisticated types.
> the USSR is not Russia (though I wonder if Putin even believes that?)

Putin believes that the "Soviet Union" is simply another name for Russia, the name of a particular phase of Russian history.

In his mind, the ex-Soviet states were all part of Russia, and their people were Russian–Ukrainians and Lithuanians and Georgians are not neighbouring foreign nationalities, they are Russians, traditional Russian ethnic minorities just like Chechens or Tatars or Tuvans. He views their independence in the breakup of the USSR as a historical mistake, for which he blames the Communist leadership.

He wishes the Communists had never introduced the idea of a "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" because he believes it planted the seeds for the breakup of Russia–yes, Russia, since to him the Soviet Union was just another name for Russia–in 1991, and his current invasion of Ukraine is an attempt to partially reverse that breakup – even though he probably doesn't plan to annex the whole of Ukraine in the near-to-medium term, installing a puppet government in Ukraine which will promote Russophilia and Russification would bring Ukraine back into the Russian fold, and might even eventually lead to full annexation further down the line.
