Hi, I have friends both in Russia and in Ukraine who live in Lvov. I'm very sorry about what is happening and pray for the lives of people in Ukraine who will suffer from yet another senseless war. I will refrain from commenting on geopolitics but Ukraine is an independent and free nation and no amount of Russian aggression will ever change that.
You think the 2014 revolution that brought back a much better degree of democracy to Ukraine was a bad thing?

Why do you support the prior authoritarian Ukrainian government?
Peaceful for who?? Certainly not for Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe, South East Asia, Middle East. The US has absolutely imposed "peace" by force and by pushing its own agenda everywhere.
>if Western-style democracies don't want to loose their freedoms they have to act.

Can you clarify on this? How does recent Russian action threaten freedoms in Western style democracies?

> Russia does not care about Ukraine's self-determination as long as NATO's systems are not there.

NATO does not have "systems". NATO is a cooperation office between militaries of member countries, despite relentless Russian propaganda that makes it sound as if tanks and missiles magically pop up after signing the membership agreement.

That was the USSR under Stalin. Quite different story. Not to forget, Finland was part of the Russian Empire before WW1. Doesn't justify the Russian attacks on Finland, context usually does matter so.

Interesting, so Mars' surface level insolation is similar to Earth's surface-level insolation, due to having less atmosphere? That makes solar power - and the Sabatier process - seem more feasible that I initially thought. I understand that Martian orbiters do require much larger solar panels than terrestrial scientific satellites with similar sensor packages.
I believe that was a goal for a future date that has not yet arrived. Trump complained about it, but it wasn't due yet and was going to happen anyway. So it can look like he made it happen. He's full of cons.
Does Russia really think the West will attack them? Russia has nukes. The West doesn't want a nuclear war with Russia.

The West isn't even defending Ukraine from a Russian attack. Did Russia think the West would defend Ukraine? If so, why did Russia still attack? If not, then why would Russia think there's any chance the West will attack Russia unprovoked?
I agree that solar/wind price points have massively gone down but how is storage a solved problem? I have only seen research projects in this field, is there anyone who has commercially deployed an energy storage solution? (other than hydro projects)
This is not how programming works in large corporations. If a feature is there, the people reviewing your code will want you to use it. Even though most C++ shops have a specific subset of "allowed C++", the language itself nudges you to think about copying stuff - that's why it ha all the RVO, move semantics, ptr stuff inside. Having switched to Go recently, it feels so good when my teammates don't care (and don't know) that the variable in for-loop is always copied. We just care about solving the problem. In C++ you have 4 different ways to declare a for-loop variable, and you need to think about selecting the "correct" one, even if you're not doing performance critical code.
Current regime — is a Russian speaking comedian Vova Zelenskiy (who is a Jew) and his party, which won elections. There is no nationalist party in Ukrainian parliament.
There is Russian language in public spaces and TV. There are more then 600 schools with Russian language of instruction.

"Dialect for peasants" has its roots in Ruthenian language, that was a main language in Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

And no, Russians were not written wholesale as Ukrainians, anyone who can check Soviet records can attest that.

>> people hear the chant all the time - “Moskalyaku na gilyaku
Well, if they would listen to Russian TV, they would hear that.
If there was no Nord Stream Putin wouldn't be able to invade without Baltic States, Poland and Ukraine shutting down the gas trade with western Europe. Which is a big part of Russian budget.

Germany knew about this from the start, heads of these states warned about exactly this scenario since 90s, yet Germany pursued cost-cutting over stabilisation of the region. And called these states "russophobic".

Even after 2008 invasion of Georgria. And after 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine.

German chancellor Schroeder was then found out to be corrupted by Russian gas company Gasprom, and later moved on to work in board of Gasprom.

Germans still pursued Nord Stream 2 and almost finished it recently.

Obviously the one at fault is Putin and Russia, but Germany was instrumental in making it possible. It must be taken into account if EU has any chances of working. You cannot be this egoistic and/or naive for decades without consequences.

Is there any way for EU members to demand one member to explain itself and correct their behavior?
Putin is following the US business model: Attack on other sovereign countries to sell weapons. Though I doubt he would be as successful as the US.
You can't just discuss WoW environments without bringing up sound design and weather effects. Graphics are merely one aspect of why WoW felt like a world.

Ever been to the Shimmering Flats in old WoW? How about at night?[1] It's an entirely different feel (and then you know why they call it shimmering). It's an amazing experience to go from day to night in WoW. Your friends might drop off for the day. You're just alone in this vast quiet world. And it rains. Or you enter a tavern and it feels warm thanks to the welcoming music. How about Duskwood during Halloween? This one game can evoke so many different feelings depending on which zone you're in, what time of day it is, and what weather effects are going on.

Yes, thank you for making the point about how Russians may be sympathetic to that direction.

But exactly how many people are you ready to kill over your sympathies? Could you give a ballpark order of magnitude estimate? 10? 100? 10,000? [1] 100,000?

On a scale of cultural repression, I can't say that this situation elicits even a small fraction of sympathy from me as what's going on with say, the Uyghurs in China.

[1] We're past that mark already.
That's rather hyperbolic. Article 4 has been invoked six times since 2003 (including in response to the Crimean invasion.) None of those cases triggered World War III.

Just another Cuba in the making.

Cuba decided in the 60s to accept Soviet nuclear missiles. The US found out and threatened a WW3. There was a failed attempt to invade Cuba. Still the US keeps Guantanamo by force.

Sixty years on and Cuba is under total economic sanctions by the US.

Reading any Tom Clancy novels is too many, so guilty as charged. I can't unread them.

Since this is a hot war waged by Russia that is neighboring 4 NATO members, it seems as though you are a bit more a casual than would be appropriate. Your comments about nuclear war are not comforting.
Hyperbolic much? you could also say "no, I would like to speak with your supervisor and understand the department policy on this before allowing it." if you are at a traffic stop and nothing has escalated you can absolutely communicate with police like this effectively.

in your scenario this is where i guess they pull out their dual wielded grenade launchers and kill your family but in reality this is likely to be the part where they decide its not worth it unless they are on very firm ground and write you a ticket and drive off.

I find this whole attitude to be bizarre and kind of creepy.
Also because what Russia is doing right now is the same thing that US tried to do in the Bay of Pigs, settling a puppet government in a portion of a country then make it ask for help? That's CIA 101
It's so weird when people think that the anti-vax movement is Trump's fault. He's been consistently pro-vaccination the whole time.
It looks like they're just dropping Elide Fire Balls, an existing fire extinguishing product of limited commercial success. I'd wager due to their high cost, they run something like $100 a piece... As much as a good fire extinguisher. Of course if this worked that could be a significant cost savings compared to sending a crew, but the Fire Balls are intended for enclosed environments and require direct fire exposure to activate... I just can't see it really being a reliable way to extinguish a nascent wildfire.

The video reeks of being a demo thrown together in a weekend. The cuts to debug output are just goofy and the actual fire demo is extremely contrived. The hard part of this, in my mind, is detection... And they don't tell us really anything about how they intend to handle the complex logistics of drones canvassing a substantial forest.
Regarding the last part, Putin is trying to find out. Nukes or not, if the "defensive" alliance, that used to be your sworn enemy for almost 5 decades (Putin used to be a KGB Colonel) sets up shop right across your border I understand why you might get worried a bit. Don't forget, that defensive alliance was invading countries as well since the 90s. Usually under the pretext of spreading democracy.

Does that justify Putin's invasion of Ukraine? No, absolutely not. Does it mean NATO could have been a tad more cautious when it comes to Russians security interests? Yes. Now it's to late for that so. And as usual it is innocent people, just wanting live their lives in peace, that pay the price.
This is orders of magnitude different than those prior invocations.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk is not in power since 2016, what that has to do with invasion of Ukraine?

And only power he got was that in autumn of 2014 his party got a fairly good numbers, that's why he became a PM, not because Americans have put him there.
I’m all for optimising usability but there comes a point where one over optimises. While I love the app-orientated design of Android and iOS (ie you share data between apps rather than apps sharing a file system), they are effectively toy OSs for toy devices. Sure some people are hugely productive on them these days but they’re the exception rather than the norm. Whereas I depend on a file system to organise my data. In fact the file system is directly interpreted as name spacing in a number of different programming languages.

I get that most people are either too lazy or too technologically inept to own a computer but this race to the bottom to support everyone who doesn’t give a crap has to end somewhere. You see it with Windows UI in Win11 removing popular options so the designers can streamline the UI. You see it with this article too. Some people are always going to struggle simply because they are forced to use a computer day in and day out rather than them wanting to use it. But designing a unified system pandering for them but servicing everyone just makes the experience shit for those of us how genuinely know how to use a computer and depend on these features.

To use a car analogy (because for some reason people love comparing cars to computers…) I have no issue with track cars being sold without air con, a radio, etc because they’re a toy not a tool. So you optimise for that single purpose: racing on the track. But I sure as hell want the kitchen sink thrown into my family car.

I sometimes wonder if the problem isn’t computers but rather our assumption that everyone should be able to use a computer without training. If your job depends on using a file system correctly then you should be trained on that in exactly the same way that you’re taught how to use any of the specialist applications. In fact pre-computers, companies did exactly that with training their staff in how the filing system works!

I think sometimes when talking about Russia or China it’s mistaken for the people of Russia or China when in reality it’s not criticism of the people but of the governments. We know majority of the people in those countries are good people and really just want to live their lives in happiness.
The tag-based location of user documents is nice, but why do people want to put it into filesystem layer?

i don't know if the filesystem layer is the best place, but i don't want to loose the tags when copying or moving files.

so somehow this metadata needs to be associated with the file, but, it also should not be in the binary stream of the file. EXIF in images and other similar metadata systems are nice, but any change there invalidates checksums or other attempts to identify changes in the actual file content. (i want to easily be able to see if two images are identical even if they have different metadata, which i can now only do with specialized tools)
> In fact if NATO had moved in about 50 to 100K troops at the invitation of Ukraine sometime over the past 3 months,

Meanwhile Russia being right on the border quickly invades Ukraine before the NATO troops can arrive and now we have NATO troops entering a war zone or pulling back and looking even weaker. Also, this sounds eerily like the start of WWI although then it was Russia mobilizing and Germany then decided to move quickly into Belgium and North into Russia.
Yeah because Ukraine voting to join EU (a trade agreement) and being INVADED is the same as Cuba accepting nuclear missiles.

In fact Ukraine gave up theirs nuclear missiles in 90s in exchange for security and territorial integrity guarantees from UK, USA and Russia. Now you can see how well that worked out for them :/
Ukraine isn't part of NATO so article 5 doesn't apply here.
Though not dial-up, my internet at the time was still very slow and the servers were a very long way away, so I routinely played with a ping of 600-1000ms with no issues at all.

That's sort of a misreading of the figures though, isn't it? It's not that those 950K sign-ups have all disappeared; you just have a slightly higher replacement level of new entrants. What it describes have a fairly consistent monthly usage rate -- not leaping up, but not dropping either. That also seems to be what the more in-depth statistics here indicate: https://the-federation.info/mastodon

I'm not saying that you're any more wrong than the idea that federation is currently "in vogue", but it doesn't seem right to suggest that this is something that is in decline, either.

Maybe you could argue that in the face of increasing numbers of adoption of social media more generally? Are we steady-stating there too, though?
Umm… Bay of Pigs? Which is what led to the Cuban missile crisis, along with the installation of nuclear capable ballistic missiles in Turkey.

The US would have invaded Cuba during the Cuban missile crisis, if Khrushchev hadn’t backed down.

I don't see how that would have either lowered Putin's desire to annex Ukraine or increased the cost of doing so.

I like this app as well as this is an effective hindrance to not get sucked into the recommendations and losing time with endless amount of content youtube rates as interesting for me (and it often really is, unfortunately). Nevertheless, I like some channels and their visibilty and success depends on views, likes and interactions. If it is just about monetization, there are alternatives beyond youtube, but pure visibility and growth if the chanel isn't already established to its full potential? I'm wondering in how far I'm weakening those channels / creators when accessing their content through this tool.

A better search and tagging can be valuable tools. But no matter how good search gets, it will not stop users from putting files untagged into one big junk folder.

Being able to think about how to order your files is a fundamental skill in this day and age and doing this on a big scale does indeed require discipline.

IMO it is just a false hope to think tags would help with the root cause of a lack of care about the data.

The current Russian claims about Ukraine, however, do appear groundless, based on the consensus of international media.
