> "The Russian invasion of Ukraine will be the first war to fully play out on social media".

A lot of qualifiers here to solidify a weak thesis. Sure, the first "textbook" war (and probably not even that, I just personally can't recall any), but there have certainly been many revolutions and combat actions across the world that have been deeply documented across social media, aggregate sites, etc. for many years now.

That's a great system for text only content, not dynamic mixed content. There is no magic "line spacing" variable when not every line is meant to be part of a block of text.

CSS actually used to have a bunch of system colors and fonts and so on but by far the most popular use was fake virus adverts. Nobody wanted to make a webpage that didn't know what system it was going to be opened on assume the styling of that system as it would immediately clash (and possibly be unreadable).

To some extent this problem even occurs in terminals with TUI and/or color enabled apps. The focus on being a block of text output makes it reasonably possible to fix. Most people don't use/want the web to just serve blocks of text, there are other protocols and tools that do that much better anyways.
I don't think this is correct. I could mention many cases where the objective was annihilation of the enemy and the destruction of a country. The men were killed and the women and children were enslaved. This was the ancient norm.

I'll mention the battle of Cannae, where 60% of the Roman army of 86,000 was killed in one day, in hand to hand fighting with spears, lances, and swords:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cannae#Battle_2

I could also mention the total destruction, leveling, and possible salting of Carthage.
Where are you paying $500 a month for an entire house? I'm assuming you're outside the USA?
Fall in the Southern Hemisphere.

FYI we call it autumn.
The point is that the change is not a simple rename:

struct foo *iterator;

list_for_each_entry(iterator, &foo_list, list) {
do_something_with(iterator);
}

While the new version would be something like:

list_for_each_entry_v2(iterator, &foo_list, list) {
do_something_with(iterator);
}

So the ’iterator’ variable may be removed, but as this is c, might also be reused multiple times, or come from some struct member, union, or whatever. So i presume something like this would have to be fixed case by case.

Disclaimer: I haven't worked at Google, but you can easily read their papers like https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/2854146 and understand what's going on. Refactoring tooling is integrated with the revision control system because in a giant codebase with thousands of contributors, you need to split a refactoring patch into smaller chunks and ideally use semantic rather than text-based diff tooling, or the changes will never get reviewed or merged before they conflict with more changes.

As for the actual renaming, yes, definitely beyond what sed does but probably around what the fanciest IDE does. Imagine a big global symbol dependency graph produced by the entire build toolchain all at once and cached, I think?

Also, this isn't the halting problem unless your codebase allows for fully dynamic invocation :)

My mom loves to tell the story of how we went to the capital to pick up new faucets on sale on the day that war started in Slovenia. Essentially triggering the Yugoslavian wars.

My parents knew that war started that morning but they were really cheap faucets. Wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity.

It’s not quite the same but certainly reminds one of the ww2 moves hitler made as he took one strategic territory after another, and by the time the rest were ready to fight they had already ceded much important ground

i don’t think it’s so dire here. i think putin simply realized US wouldn’t move troops or retaliate with force, weighed them political or resource gains from attacking and decided it was worth it.

In hindsight perhaps the right move was for US to station a time peacekeeping force in ukraine to make the calculus of attacking more expensive, yet i’m too ignorant of the subject to understand.
Hitler didn’t have nuclear weapons. The calculus of war changed in 1945 after the US dropped nuclear bombs on Japan.

This is a big plus for me. Previously I spent a lot of time being interrupted and helping grads. Now I can safely ignore them.
There was a time when I would give short reviews and perform them in the most basic ways. Now I'm more Sr. so actually spend a lot more time explaining things in detail, not only for the author but also other readers/reviewers. I've also noticed my PR descriptions getting more detailed. Every writing is a learning opportunity.
There is a lot of talk on TV News (I am watching CBS News streaming right now) about possible threats to the Chernobyl site since there are now Russian troops in that area.

It's not impossible that an attack with heavy weapons could damage the sarcophagus around the failed reactor and leak some radiation but it would be a bad move with no strategic motive for either the Russians or Ukrainians.

I think it is a concern that is exaggerated.
Again, something being ridiculous (to you) does not make it evil. And your straw man has nothing to do with my response
China has 1 small Navy base in Africa. China is a long way away from having a blue water navy. There is a lot of fear mongering in the US from Admirals that want a bigger Navy. China has never conducted a Naval operation.

As of today, Beijing has just one overseas military base in Djibouti – a country which also hosts American, French, Italian and Japanese military bases, some of which also host British, German and Spanish troops.

Nope. It is still up. Completely pointless last minute desperate sign of squeaking.

Anyone can hit a DDoS button or run a server over shodan.io to find an exposed MongoDB instance. These are predictable attacks known to and discovered by previous professional researchers and have known mitigations and now these lot are simply mimicking those attacks.

Not exactly the level of complexity Anonymous had of 10 years ago or the level of sophistication of the ‘Equation Group’ hackers after all.

Just an obvious reactionary script-kiddie collective and somewhat predictable sloppy attacks.
> I base it primarily on the assumption that neither side wants MAD and will act to avoid it

The respective countries as a whole, yes. But individual actors in the war will still be driven to the brink, so you also need to count on countries not retaliating when a stray nuke detonates in their territory.
>That happened in the Spanish civil war.Guernica famous painting depicts the bombing by Italian and German aviation of the city of Guernica.

In the Spanish civil war the other side was also bombing cities like Oviedo and killing civilians for a much longer time and killing way more people than Guernica.

You are confusing things there, the revolt in Spain had nothing to do with Italians and Germans at first. It was a local war that unfortunately for Spain became the test for the new world war.

The other side were not supported by Hitler, but they were supported by Stalin. And they established Chekas in Spain being way more terrible than Franco.

With Paracuellos massacres, the neutral observers were intercepted in air, following Stalin orders.

During the war the flow of people changing sides were unanimously from "republicans" side to "nationals" side, because of the red terror and incompetency, just like with the Iron Curtain, few people went the other way.

>Ironically, I think that more countries intervention would have make the Spanish war bloodier but it could have stopped World War II.

Absolutely non sense. Poland was invaded by BOTH Germany and Russia at the same time because they were allies. Lenin and later Stalin created such a miserable regime with communism that they planned to invade Europe to sustain Russia economy from the start.

That was called "financing the economy through imperialistic practices, just like any other European country in the past".

No I fully understand. I just want to be honest that it's simply a contract negotiation, not some moral force.
The Roman Republic fell apart over a period of 100 years when no one cared about the law any longer, and this spawned 3 civil wars and massive upheaval. Many of the Roman Republic's most well known leaders acted without restriction from their co-consul. During Caesar's first Consulship, it was referred to the as the "Consulship of Julius and Caesar". (dates in Rome were defined by the two Consuls for the year, Bibulus was the other Consul during Caesar's first Consulship)

USA imported slightly more oil from Russia than it did Saudi Arabia in 2020 as an example.

USA can roughly export 3000kbd oil. It already exports 2.5-3.0mn daily during any given month. It does not have massively more export capacity than that.

USA SPR is large (600mn) but has very limited ability to get that oil into even the domestic market. The internal infrastructure is already occupied by moving the oil now that was released during the late 2021 SPR release. There is only perhaps 150kbd incremental oil it can put on to the market.
I'm happy calling initiating a completely preventable conflict that nobody wanted that has resulted in the deaths of 137, 17 of whom are Ukrainian civilians, and 316 wounded evil. There's no meaningful moral difference between what Putin did and outright murdering 17 people. He knew innocent Ukrainians (and, for that matter, innocent Russians) would die and didn't care.
This a grave emergency and requires suspension of your Charter rights for… a few days
This is a very good example of why you should be using a schema diff/comparison tool.

Run your rename on a copy of your production schema, then run a diff tool to see what's actually changed - in this case it would show a view definition had changed and even autogenerate the replace statement you would need to add to fix the script.
Putin won't care, he will most likely install a regime of Ukraine nationals. As Putin talks of nazis and the need to "purge": this time less like Yanukovitch, more like the brutal Chechen Kadyrow. very depressing
Russia has a bit more than a couple of nukes, as does the US. I believe I've seen the numbers indicate that the present arsenals that are currently in service are too small to erase humanity, but they are definitely big enough to cause hundreds of millions to a few billions of deaths.

If we consider the situation of just 1-2 warheads are used in a conflict, I think it really hard to gauge the effect on public perception, and I suppose it also depends on the circumstances. If for instance, they were used in an unprovoked terrorist attack, killing 2-4million in a city, the response could be like after 9/11, but x100.

If they were used to stop a military aggressor, killing "only" 10k soldiers in the field, their may lose their mythical status, and this could be the opening of Pandora's box, increasing the probability that they are used in later conflicts.
I look forward to hearing how this works out, to the extent that you're comfortable sharing details. I feel like probably escaping from a war zone might cost more than US$200 and currency exchange might be problematic at the moment.

> Russia is the only country I know that thinks it might actually be able to win a nuclear war.

Unless you find some way to simultaneously take out all nuclear installations in the world, or prevent their misiles from impacting your territory, this seems extremely hard.
My point wasn't how similar or different these conflicts are, I hope it didn't come off that way as I don't wish to start such a debate, the result is people suffering needlessly either way. But my last sentence with regards to war lurking may have been off-base if that's your point.

I just meant to point out, using my family's experience and in response to GP's girlfriend's "out of nowhere" comment, how easy it is to not recognize the seriousness of a conflict as it is starting and even as it's been ongoing for years.
I get some of the sentiment that people should write clean code and I have been very adamant with my teams to ideally use best practices and make their code (re)usable and production ready. But the truth is: nobody likes to clean up. Including me. To use a real life example: I don’t use a broom at home unless my roomba is unable to get to the spot. This is not going to solve all problems and I will probably have to fix some edge cases, but I love the solution you have come up with and will definitely give it a shot next time I come across an ugly notebook!

The flavor of the oil isn't what makes oil-packed fish taste better— it's just a better storage medium for fish. Oil doesn't wash fish of its delicate water soluble flavors, oil deeply penetrates the flesh and to keep it from getting as tough, and it won't dilute additional flavorings like smoke or aromatics.

Getting oil-packed fish without soybean oil isn't difficult but it is obviously more expensive. I'd worry as much or more about pharmaceutical waste and other pollutants in cheap, mass-produced fish, too. Fortunately, sardines don't have a ton of mercury.

There's nothing remotely wrong with Crown Prince sardines, but if you're interested in a comparison, something like this, while twice as much per oz (.69us vs .33us) should clearly illustrate the differences.

They're not being naive. This is a deliberate effort to downplay the events. Always keep in mind that a war is often fought with different types of weapons, including information.
I commented elsewhere that the view renaming thing was surprising to me, but when you put it like this it makes sense. The view references the oid or whatever, some internal representation I try to pretend doesn't exist.

It's kind of surprising in some cases when I haven't seen it before (like views) but is consistent and the alternative would be a lot harder to work with.

> But yes. I am fully aware that it is a privilege and it is a difference, that I can say all of this here and not over there

Indeed, we can, for now. There are some chinks in this armour - Trudeau in Canada activating the Emergencies Act to quell a protest which came a bit too close to the target, increasing censorship through an unholy alliance between industry and government, an unhealthy fawning over the endless possibilities offered by the social credit score system as implemented in China - but for now the bastion still holds.

> And I do not want to loose that right,

Nor do most of us, bar those who long for the chance to muzzle their ideological opponents - viz. Trudeau in Canada and his ilk, everywhere.

> but rather want the whole world to have that right as well.

Ah, but there you make a mistake. The whole world does not want to have this right - or at least they have been raised in societies which see "our way of life" in a wholly different way. What "we" gained in freedom to express ourselves any way we want, we gradually lost in things which bound us together - clan/tribal/national pride, religious affiliation, sense of purpose. Our freedom has its price in that it is up to the individual to find acceptable replacements for these factors with differing degrees of success - some find it in financial success, some look for it in political/ideological fervour, lately many people are looking for it in some aspect of identity and the related politics. Why, ever, would you want to leave your known position in the clan, with the elders to tell you what is good, the imam or preacher or priest to tell you what is holy and your future as predictable as that of your ancestors?

> I just want to go a different path, than the usual one, which has not really worked out so far in the past.

What will you do on that "different path" when an opponent comes up to you and holds a gun to your head?

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. When the man with the gun in his hand comes to threaten you you either fight him, or you submit [1].

The term "labeled graph" just means a graph with each node labeled differently (but arbitrarily). It just allows for reasoning & enumerating the vertex set. It's a typical assumption to make in the context of graph isomorphism.

It doesn't relate to machine learning (which is what I assume you mean).

Yes. This is absolutely true. But a legacy of the reformation was the fracturing of protestantism into multiple competing strands, many of which rehearsed more and more atheistic principles as they diverged from the 39 articles, at least in the english speaking world.

By the time we arrive at quakers, we're a long way down the path to utilitarianism and a pretty overt statement of the lack of need of a deity to live a good live. But this is not the reformation, or the counter-reformation, its the enlightenment.

I suppose my point was more about the enlightenment than anything else. Which is definedly NOT about the reformation, but stems from it: I would argue there is no good evidence of a counterfactual of an enlightenment like the one we have emerging in a world without protestantism in its current form.

I should add this is not a direct 'anti-scientism' accusation to the catholic church: The church was extremely receptive to scientific method and proof methods. It wasn't so into the democratic tendency that came with it. So I believe without the liberation inherent in the reformation (the liberation from widely held belief in the authority of the state and the church) we'd not be where we are.

The taking of oaths was a significant component of why people were outside the state process, and faith, inherent in the 39 articles: you couldn't swear alliegence to the crown of england without explicitly accepting its authority in religion. Neither catholics nor dissenters liked this. Perhaps this is the perpetuation of the belief in the importance of an Oath, from medieval times? (this was the blockage on catholic participation in government which persisted for years after the enlightenment had begun)
