My knowledge about the nuclear economy of France is limited, but i don't think La'Hague has a UF6 defluorisation plant. I believe there are some in southern France but those are unable to handle the amount of UF6 France produces on its own, without buying more from Germany. Also, much like the german reprocessing plant in Gronau, the french plant in La'Hague is only a small part of a long re-processing and re-enrichment chain. It is a producer of "uranium de retraitement" (URT). Ask the French what they do with it, their "nuclear circular economy" goes through Tomsk in Siberia.
Let me tell you what do I actually know. I hears alarms. I hear gunshots. I hear explosions. I have friends who are fighting the war that was started by dictator that killed, jailed or poisoned all opposition to him that haven't fled the country. That dictator is threatening to use nukes. That dictator previously attacked our country and taken our territories(Crimea). He backed separatists in our country and sent weapons, people and equipment to that regions for 8 long years, which created humanitarian crisis. Now he attacks openly to overturn our democratically elected government(which by no means is ideal). All of that happens just because we are not willing to submit to his rule.
Yeah, but that is stressful, stress that I avoid by going somewhere I don’t feel railroaded. Hell, I might even walk everywhere and look at everything to see what else I could need, but I won’t feel railroaded to do so.
How do you test the code which determines when to fire the torpedoes, without actually firing the torpedoes every time you run the tests?
In an age when education instead of war is being used to control population, arming everyone is no longer seems too implausible.

Being a Frenchman, I think government could push citizens to act, increasing price of Russian gas through massive taxes or something like that. We only import like 20% gas from Russia, from what I understand. Impact would be small for us and would prepare us for potentially more severe restrictions in the futures, helping us become more resilient. Am I missing something?

Launching a missile to explode over the ocean to show resolve to use nukes. Next, launching a missile to explode over some Alaskan waste, if the previous step doesn't induce NATO to start the negotiations. Something like that.

i would have to agree with you.

its also the metaphorical "chickens coming home to roost"
It might be an idea to just supply Europe with more oil from Canada / the us.
Yeah, I was confused as well. I think the argument is that it's a slippery slope to a different thing, and since the different thing is bad, solving for death is bad too.

I don't think that runs.
> i wouldnt be surprised if russia cuts off oil and gas to Europe due to the sanctions imposed.

That would be economic suicide, but if that decision will be taken it already has been taken, surely?

Putin would know he'd face unprecedented sanctions but you can't just switch off the pipes. There are significant production decisions to be made quite far in advance, I think?

Also I don't think you can just really decide to keep the fuel you've already pumped; the question of where to put it is a challenging one.

He does have this choice but not in quite as simple, binary terms as it might seem, at least as far as I understand it. It'd be interesting to hear from someone with industrial domain knowledge though.
But if you look further at David Sinclair's videos on YouTube, the aging problem is not the lost of information but mostly the lost of capability to read/interpret the information. The cell then doesn't operate as it should. He's working now on ways to "polishing the CD" so information can be read as in young cells.
There is no special limit of 25 possible keys.

The keyspace is essentially infinite, because of 2 things:

1 you don't have to worry about control bytes (aka "binary")

2 unicode

rot13 using 1/2 of the 26 letter English a-z alphabet is just an arbitrary limit for visual appearance and limitation of the channel in bbs/newsgroup posts.

Things like rot18 and rot47 already widen the alphabet significantly up from 26 to include numbers, punctuation, and more of the "printable" ascii from 0-127, while still avoiding control bytes like null etc.

But this example is using rot13 in a channel passing binary data already, so there is no point avoiding the control bytes like null etc.

So without going to unicode the limit would already be 255.

But the alphabet, and thus the key space, is practically infinite with unicode. Merely your bandwidth goes down when you get to say, 16 encoded bytes per plaintext byte.

In fact, you don't even need to bother 'rotating' anything, you can just pick a random number anywhere from 1 to the zillions, and simply add that number to the plaintext values and subtract from the ciphertext. Rather than rotating, it's just transposing, but that's all rotating is anyway.

You don't even need to install any package like bsdgames either. You can do the encode/decode directly in bash, not even very many lines.
Or an offensive gesture.
Meanwhile, Putin just announced that they are increasing the operational readiness of their nuclear arsenal.

If you want to disassemble anything even standard wood screws won't let you do it multiple times (you can fill in the boss with toothpicks/pva, but still). What you want is machine bolts and metal (zinc) wood inserts. Since it's chipboard, it'd take epoxy when installing the wood inserts. Unlimited amount of assembly/disassembly.
> From early Windows CE memories, Microsoft's mobile hubris always seemed to start from "desktop Windows is the best OS." Ergo, the closer to desktop Windows they could put on mobile devices, the happier people would be.

This insanity reached it's peak just before the iPhone introduction with Microsoft's "Ultra Mobile PC" handheld device initiative.

I can remember an implementation of this from ASUS that used a D-Pad to drive a mouse pointer on a handheld device running an unchanged Windows XP UI.
No, rather the opposite: you want Russia to be as smart and wealthy as possible. The more a country has to lose the less the chance that they will start wars with their neighbors.
The poster above you called it chipboard, not cardboard, but I've always called it cardboard myself. And I consider myself something of an IKEA fan. IKEA doesn't even hide this - they've put up cross-sections of their furniture before and you can see that it is a veneer over what is essentially cardboard. That said, it seems to work quite well. It's far from heirloom quality furniture, but it does the job, and I completely agree with you that it's strength is a unified design that makes it easy to mix/match in your house and come up with a nice, modern look for a quite affordable price.
> shore up your defenses BEFORE you need it, not after

This needs to be balanced against the public opinion, which is not (AFAIK) very favourable to war-related business in Germany. It is also complicated by the fact that nobody knows when they will be needed, so war spending can be practically increased as a matter of principle, not because war is expected in X years; this makes it more difficult to accept.
The nukes are WWIII. That’s why a direct war is a massive risk.
The best thing to do is lower taxes on gas to account for the inevitable rise in prices.

Once swift bans are in place the priority should be to use Russian oil and gas until the taps are turned off for non-payment.
The days of mutually assured destruction is actually over. In the time needed for the ICBMs to reach targets on another continent is enough time to intercept those missiles. Obviously neighbours like Finland and Ukraine on the otherhand are problematic. I hope the best for them.

Many missile defense systems have been worked on, sattelites with high powered lasers, planes with high powered lasers, intercepting missiles like Israel's irondome, phalanx anti missile systems, and many others. No idea how effective but we shall see if we need them.

Canada is probably kicking itself pretty hardcore for not accepting the USA's offer to join missile defense. You can read how dumb we are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Missile_Defence_in_Ca... lol or not.. Cold Lake Alberta is probably pretty quiet right now.

My city is tiny and probably not a target. If Toronto is hit, I'm jumping in my car and driving to help anyway I can. I recommend we all do the same, a pair of hands is enough to help.
And nobody ever pirated anything again.
That’s not how the world works. There are no “rights” for any countries, they all do what they think they can get away with (physically or in the public eye). If the US has a right to interfere (positively, by funding/supporting) then Russia has a right to warn them off. It’s geopolitics and no actions are free of consequences. There are no “rights.”

That would be an awful waste of jet fuel in a country dealing with an invasion. It's an important symbol, but so are a bunch of topped off fighters and more practical transports.
I once did rot13 on /lib/firmware/* (not just 13 but 0-255), piped it via 'strings' command and find longest word in English corpus (/usr/share/dict/*). I forget what I found but it's trivial to replicate.
This is the same answer for me. I picked it up because as a teenager I thought it was about encryption (didn't know the word at that time). It also had the effect of introducing me to the right section of books in the library.

Unfortunately this is about the level of discourse I'm seeing everywhere. Mocking green energy targets.

Right now I think this is profoundly unproductive. Ukraine should not have been invaded, Russia violated international law and is committing war crimes.

A relatively small nation is holding the line against a world power and all I'm trying to say is maybe enough people in the world care, or should care, about resisting the actions of a dictator. I think if our grandfathers and great grandfathers could fight and die to prevent expansionist nations aggression, maybe the muted 21st century version of what we can do is be organize ourselves a little and tolerate some discomfort.
Of course they could. But Germany would rather rely on Russia than have nuke energy.

Russian oil and gas is greener and has a lower carbon foot print according to them.
Here they charge you $5 and give you a $5 coupon “for next timel” to keep you hooked.
>Now, at least were I live you can't have furniture delivered pre-built (unless you buy antiques) but you can hire a handyman to come build it for more than the price difference was between unbuilt and built before IKEA came to dominate.

That doesn't add up from where I'm sitting. Hiring someone on Airtasker to build your furniture is about the same price as getting a delivery driver to drop off a piece of furniture.

If you're serious about saving money but struggle with DIY, just type your preferred IKEA product name into Facebook Marketplace. You can generally get them pre-assembled for about a third of the cost of new.
This seems like it would have the same effect as increasing prices/tariffs, but in a much more convoluted way.
>Playing armchair general here, but I wonder what's the playbook if Russia decides to conduct a nuclear weapon "experiment".

Any launch regardless of trajectory will be considered act of war against the world. There will be no warning shots here.
what, they got recommended a strong hire and also received a useful word of advice!
The comment above posits none of that, this is just a baity strawman.
Satellites with high powered lasers are a fantasy that don't exist right now.

The converted Boeing 747 airborne laser was a colossal failure and would have only been able to target a missile nearby in its boost/launch phase. It's now dismantled.

You think you can send fighters to gun down an icbm MIRV in its re-entry phase? Seriously?

There are no “rights” granted to countries. The concept is laughable. There are only actions, vested interests, and consequences for all and on all sides.

> What does the USA gain from this setup?

The deal used to be that we soak up the refugees created in their wars, while also providing the military bases (think Rammstein etc) that cement their power, etc.
When media figures in the US make it look like the US were the generous gifters of freedom and security, and their allies are effectively parasites, that’s just populism/right-wing agitation.

>Is RT Linux a good (or at least a good enough) option for realtime OS's

Soft realtime, yes. It does keep scheduling latency under control, enabling e.g. pro audio with low latency (very small buffer). This is unlike without PREEMPT_RT, where with buffers under 20ms XRUNs happen frequently.

Hard realtime, no. It can't guarantee a thing, as the kernel is complicated (has millions of lines of code) and thus unpredictable.

Look at seL4 instead if your deadlines are hard. It has been designed for realtime, and comes with formal proofs of worst case execution time.
I think that's a side-effect of how code must be written to work with dependency injection, to make the injection actually possible, IMO it's not the DI itself that makes it testable.
Reading Martin Gardner's books (taken from Scientific American) as a child. Each chapter was a delight.
The risk here is hiring a spy, same applies for hiring Chinese born as well.
And when will this private capital builds the multi-gigawatt energy storage required to go to renewable? My guess is never.

Yeah private capital is great at cookie-cutter projects, like buying factory-made pre-built windturbines or solar panels and operating them, this a low-risk operation and every bean-counter can model it's profitability in excell. But when it comes to developing new types of solar panels and suddenly without government research dollars there is zilch.

It is also nowhere to be seen when we need actually risky and difficult projects like build a massive hydroelectric damn or multi-gigawatt power storage which will be required to support these renewables. It is nowhere to be seen in Tidal and Geothermal, which you can't buy premade from a factory in China. It is also useless in keeping reserves of grain, gas, or any other critical resource.

So why should anyone take seriouslty this point about private capital if it only contributes in areas of least concern?

If the human race was sitting around for private capital, we'd have gone extinc by now.
Do you distinguish between dependency injection (frameworks) and general inversion of control?

Because what I think of dependency injection is extremely common in golang - they made interfaces satisfy structurally rather than nominally so that consumers could specify interfaces which anyone is free to satisfy. That the consumer owns the interface (packages shouldn't export interfaces for concretes they implement) is a pretty core tenet, and goes hand in hand with good dependency injection (IoC).

DI frameworks are extremely rare (and IME even more painful to use), because injecting your dependencies explicitly is straightforward. But injected they should be.
Just fire them and do a ROLLBACK
Telegram has ties to Russia. Rocketchat or mattermost would make more sense.
> increasing price of Russian gas through massive taxes or something like that

Unless you're using a bottled product -- you may be referring to a bottled product -- you can't choose which gas you as a consumer get, can you?

Either way, gas and energy are fairly fungible (more fungible than crypto, hah). It's not really possible to target one supply with massive tax like this without having a knock-on effect on the rest of the energy market.

To what extent is the rest of the system resilient to a permanent 20% reduction in supply? That Russian gas might be disproportionately used in generating backup electricity.
I’m not sure what you want explained, but you’ll probably find it in this very straightforward talk by John Mearsheimer on this very conflict. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Nbj1AR_aAcE
Whatever. Good luck convincing anyone that a financial transaction is speech.
Absolutely, but this is more possible if we can start a giant rationing movement. Biden already had to talk about how he was going to keep prices low at the pump while we impose sanctions. This is what we can do as individuals to help with that effort.

Unfortunately there isn't a ton of capacity to transport natural gas across the Atlantic, it is possible and we are doing it, but we don't have enough infrastructure and specialized ships for this to replace more than a small fraction of what comes in from Russia through existing pipelines.

Nordstream 2 stalling is not a bad step, but that is future harm to Russia, we need to be hurting Russia today as well as preparing for a potential shutoff of all exports.
This is the kind of blog post that just ignites a passion for serious software engineering.
So this is trolling from pro-Russia, and/or anti-renewable activists right?

From their 'what not to do' section:

> Argue about what led up to this energy situation. Yes, Germany shut down nuclear plants; yes, green energy targets pushed the USA and others to reduce domestic oil and coal production.

If you actually want to do something to help, how about following the "Electrify everything in your house guide":

Ukraine foreign minister, invited minutes ago on BBC, all interested to contact the Ukrainian embassy in their respective Country.
I specifically referred to donors, it is largely understood that convoy organizers and a number of participants had their accounts frozen.

I am not using circular reasoning; I am literally addressing the fact that donating $50 to the convoy did not subject you to your bank account being frozen, despite purported claims to the contrary.

The “illegal acts” are referring to the plain-as-day laws that the protesters (to some, occupiers) were accused of breaking, like parking tractor trailers in the middle of the street for weeks blocking traffic in downtown Ottawa.

If folks outside the immediate circle of downtown protesters and organizers were affected, I would find that deeply concerning. But I can only find unsubstantiated rumors. If you have a credible source indicating otherwise, I’d appreciate it.
Of the top of my head:

They don’t have complete control of the area let alone airspace

You just don’t turn the key and fly off a plane, especially a plane like this.

Very few people can fly this plane.

The runway is damaged.

There’s no military value to invest a minute thinking about it.

I know there are many sad pandas going around the internets, but when your country is being invaded and people are dying in droves, it’s comical thinking about one plane.

> They have cheap products at cheap prices.

It depends on what you call a cheap product.

About everything in my home comes from IKEA. Every furniture looks like brand new after decades. The only items that are damaged were damaged during moving between houses. Yes IKEA furniture is sometimes pretty bad at being moved in a truck.

But, while it’s not premium, the quality, for me have something really important : it’s consistent. In a lot of shops, you barely discover at home if you bought something of bad or high quality. At IKEA, you at least know it’ll never be bad quality because even the cheapest item comes in "ok" quality.

I’ve bought literally hundreds pieces of furniture plus an entire kitchen and I’ve been only disappointed once, with a couch, that I still have.
When Ukrainians overthrew Putin’s puppet Yanukovych back in 2014?

My personal opinion is that Putin was never negotiating in good faith. He was negotiating as a stalling tactic while prepared and/or waited for the most opportune time to invade.
according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Music

there are lots of countries where you can not buy DRM free music from amazon (afaiu what the OP was referring to)

so the problem is how to find a shop where you can buy your super rare tracks ...

> There's absolutely no reason to believe that is true.

WWIII, in a literal sense (that is, between world-wide alliances), won't happen, since certainly China/India have not reason to enter it.

On the other hand though, Russia vs. the West is not so far fetched. Keep in mind that Putimir announced:

> Russian president Vladimir Putin has ordered military command to put nuclear deterrence forces on high alert after aggressive statements by Nato countries, Reuters reports.

Whether this is a bluff or not, it shows a clearly deranged personality. I wouldn't be surprised if, as a matter of principle, he'd initiate a nuclear war rather than losing Ukraine. After all, invading Ukraine has been motivated entirely by principle.
