Why is Russia Invading Ukraine?
- Many reasons, but I think this book and it's author have had a great influence on the decisions made by the Russian ruling class for the past 20 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

What Should Other Countries do about it?
- Accept immigrants, sanction, and do everything to deescalate to stay away from Nuclear war to make sure that under no circumstances Russia is to take the Sulwaki Gap or the Baltic, Sweden and Finland will be next. https://cepa.org/cepa_files/2018-CEPA-report-Securing_The_Su...

What is chinas position in all of this?
- Tentatively a Russian apologist. China has a huge land border with Russia. Neither trust each other very much. If Russia can take Ukraine, then China might use the opportunity to take Taiwan, it's not super likely but not outside the realm of possibility. Mostly China don't want the worlds logistics chains to be fubared with again. A war in Europe might drive up the cost of raw materials and that is not entirely in Chinas favor.

Economic Impact in Europe?
- Nord stream is now an abject failure and a no go. Germany have to reevaluate starting up their nuclear reactors or the european energy crisis will get worse.

American Impact?
Cost of owning a car will become high as the global. oil price rises, this happens every time a major war starts. Incidently Russia tend to start some kind of war everytime the oilprice dips under a certain amount, i think it's around 40-45 USD per barrel Brent.

Is the USA Going to War?
- If Russia decides to move to the Suwlaki gap, then yes most certainly the NATO paragraph 5 will be activated and the USA as a NATO founder will ahve to go to war.
Clearly then, all tools must be designed to only support the least common denominator.
Crypto are futures? I thought they were a hedge for disasters
some interesting new phenomenon
We'll all have different usecase so I'll only talk about my own.

I'm not a "mechanical" keyboard enthusiast myself so I'd approach this slightly different to many others I think.

I generally like a narrow, low-travel keyboard with a trackpad or trackpoint.
i.e. a laptop sitting centrally below an external monitor.

I value symmetry. So I try to get the same modifier keys for each hand to make touch typing easier.
That's not always possible with a laptop which would be a good reason to make something custom.

I dislike number pads and mice as I think they pull right hand off centre, which leads to discomfort long term.

I guess the perfect design, from my personal perspective, would hinge on if you can get low travel keys for an external keyboard build or not.

Myself, I can compromise with just sticking to a laptop and a non-qwerty layout all the time but it does mean that I have the same keyboard when I'm travelling away from my desk.
They don't need to replace something that doesn't even exist?
Not sure where I compared the NATO expansion, a peaceful one, to Russia's invasions of Georgia and Ukraine.

Perhaps it was when you said, "Of those two, Russia and NATO, the only expansion since the end of the cold war and the fall of the USSR was done by NATO."
> they should have embraced reforms

They tried that in the 90s. There are two problems. They don't want to be a colony for Western powers. Russia is a collection of a few different nations. You have to hold it by a strong hand, otherwise you have a civil war e.g. Chechnya.

So they want to do it now on partner relations with Europe. Russia will provide, natural resources, transportation link to Asia, you can relocate polluting factories to Siberia, you get access to our market and labor. Also, you we will provide security and balance China. You don't need those pesky Americans. In return Russia wants, capital, tech and modernisation of the country.

So Europeans, do you want EU from Lisbon to Vladivostok or war?

The question does ask what you use too so I think this is still a very valid response.
This was with previous designs of fusion reactors. Read about proposed Ark and currently constructing Spark reactors. By using stronger superconductive magnets it was possible to reduce the size of the plant by order of magnitude. Spark even has a chance to get to Q>1 before ITER and it’s chamber is less than 2m in diameter. Plus it is possible to replace its parts without disassembling the whole reactor.

I procrastinate. I procrastinate a lot. This line hit so close to home

> “We don’t rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems.”

Instead of fighting the procrastination, I embrace it. Now whenever I lack the motivation to do what I ought to be doing, I pick one item on my procrastination list. Currently the list contains reading, stretching, sharpening kitchen knives and reading HN (consciously).
Having the list forbid me from for example wandering on youtube or reddit, which I consider activities of absolute negative to zero return.

Having the system give me a good baseline to fall to which I find useful.

Time to back to work
True. And Russians as well. My sympathies are with the little guy and they will pay the price.
Because money is fungible.

A dollar spent on fusion is a dollar not spent on solar panels or turbines that would displace fossil fuels immediately. And, it would be a dollar wasted, because the fusion work will never produce any commercially competitive power, anyway. So, it is a choice between buying something that contributes to a solution, or just pissing it away.

I agree that that should be changed, but dollars to donuts (as I have seen this happen many times before) the moderators rename it to the title of the bug and the entire point is lost ;P. (Though maybe they read this and think again; in the future to make such a point you first need to write a comprehensive article on your own blog with this as the title and then you mostly get to editorialize all you want... you just need to make sure it has enough heft to it to avoid anyone considering it "blog spam" and thereby changing the link in addition to the title ;P.)

I agree with your sentiment, but to say that a weapon capable of creating a Coloseum-sized crater has "no military value" seems a bit off.

On the other hand i cannot think of a critical role played by ICBM's in Central Europe, could your share some insights?
Ukraine is not in the Nato, so I don't think Nato would consider launching nukes to defend it.

Then, protest it on the street.

I think any trust that Russia still enjoyed in the west is gone as of today. A few days ago the official Russian position was "Nobody is planning an invasion of Ukraine." Today, Russia has invaded Ukraine. This is not how you make deals.

Targeting the population at large only even has the potential to have an effect in a democracy (and even then it seems plausible it would only create a stronger national sense of an external enemy). I don't understand what you want to accomplish by hurting innocent russians. The strategy so far seems to be to target the economy and ogliarchs, which actually has an effect on decision makers.
I don't play in hard mode, still -- I enjoy the flexibility of solving it both ways.

All Hands on Deck: Preparing for the Steam Deck
NATO is a defensive alliance made up of many independent sovereign nations, all of whom freely asked for and were granted membership. Don't want conflict with NATO? Easy, don't attack any of their members. Seems simple enough.

Cuba was a Soviet client state, and installing missiles there was clearly an offensive act.
a) Solar is not applicable to the Northern Europe. It does not generate heat when it's needed the most (winter).

b) Heat pump (installation, retrofitting existing heat distribution, if at all possible; largest problems might arise with wall mounted radiators since they much larger temperatures to operate) is very costly. Maintenance and running costs not so much.

c) Electricity prices even at the current tarriffs are not cheaper than CNG. This comes from data comparing data on similar volume and insulation buildings using heatpump and CNG heating. That will most likely change in favour of electricity, though its generation from natural gas is really popular around here.
d) To change the type of heating from CNG to something else en-masse would require extreme financial, labor and supply expenses.

I'm pro giving up on the Russian CGN because I do not depend on it and I can offset price hikes. But assuming that would not be without major economic and other consequences is a nonsense.

I have only one, it's a lovely bit of kit but that was one thing that put me off using it myself.

I always thought a modern trackpoint version might be my ultimate keyboard but I couldn't get on with the key travel.
We have atomic bitwise operations already (look at glibc's mutex implementation), and the unit atomic operations work on is a 64-byte cache line. Cache lines are useful because reading 64 bytes isn't really more expensive but it improves sequential memory access by a lot.
Look, the use case might be presented as ignition suppression, but I can see this being much more useful for a different use case.

I was involved with the Caldor fire near Lake Tahoe, California. That fire had a massive line put in for days, but a big wind caused multiple ignitions behind the line at night. The wind and the night prevented aircraft from flying. But drones like these could have flown. And they could have managed the tough terrain. And they could have suppressed the spot fires beyond the line, and helped that line to hold. And that would have meant potentially saving a city. Don't get me wrong, South Lake Tahoe survived due to hard work and a lot of luck, but as we know entire cities are burning and the loss of that line wiped entire neighborhoods off the map. These machines need to be scaled up to handle significant suppression requirements — something far bigger than these drones capable of helping hold a line and work in difficult conditions. I don't think small drones are it. But precision delivery, and the fact that you get immediate feedback on the effectiveness of the suppression from the drone, could be really incredible.

WoW classic is a substantially different experience from WoW “retail”.

I kept a WoW account over these years but seldom played it. Still got hooked when classic came out.

Half of the fun is interaction with the community though. Meeting people in starting areas and struggling together in quests and dungeons. I’m not sure one can reproduce this experience again now that classic has progressed beyond the original expansion…
From user point of view, removing support for kernel extensions is definitely a win, since it means more stable (and secure) system.

IME kernel extensions (kexts) were definitely related to various kernel panics that I've seen in the past.

In most cases, alternative APIs have been present for quite some time, it's just that some software hasn't been upgraded yet. Deprecation started a few years ago, so it's nothing surprising really.

Similar VPN and virtualization apps work without kexts, so I assume both Tunnelblick and VirtualBox could be rewritten to take the leverage of the new APIs.
Awesome. Do you plan to support providing the hosted instance on other providers (specifically, non-US companies like Hetzner)?

Alternatively, do you plan on offering a self-hosted version?

Tencent co-lead and invested in the Series B round, it didn't "acquire" Scalapay
I wonder why they are considering moving those? Hmm? You should be ashamed of parroting Russian propaganda at this time.
You can, in fact, grow crops under solar. And they yield more that way.

The panels do not cover every square inch of farm; 50% is common. Most plants, including the most productive crops, will only do a certain maximum of photosynthesis in a day; insolation after that just adds heat stress.
Because despite agreements to the contrary, NATO keeps trying to expand into Ukraine.
"Protecting Donetsk and Luhansk" literally means sending troops into Ukrainian territory to fight against the Ukrainian military. That's called an invasion.

EDIT: though the wording might still be significant. If the question is worded "Should Russia support the sovereign, Russia-aligned republics of Donetsk and Luhansk", that might poll significantly differently from a question that's worded "Should Russia invade Ukraine" even though both mean the same thing. Just like how >50% of Americans answer "no" to the question of "Should schools in America teach Arabic Numerals" because they're misled by the question, not because they're opposed to teaching people about numbers.
Renewables are the reason we’re still dependent on dictatorship-sourced fossil fuels in the first place.
> fission reactors are today not competitive, and get less competitive by the day

No, we are just incompetent idiots. This has nothing to do with fissions and everything to do with degradation of contruction and practical egnineering skills - now it takes 30 years and 100 billion dollars to make a small railway in California. Victorian England or China could do this without much trouble.

The english-speaking western nations have definitively and measurably degraded -
every time an airport or a port or any major piece of infrastructure needs to be built, its a source of drama and infighting for 30 years. A nuclear powerplant is just a big construction project, and nations that can build a railway without a fuss, have demonstrated their ability to build a reactor without a fuss.

We are going to have to fix this if we don't want to decline into barbarity in the next 100 years. We can trade and launder the world's money and stocks but we can't build a bridge. Eventually the physical really will catch up to us "cough climate change', and you can't bribe laws of nature.

Sure you can 'cheat' by buying pre-built solar panels and wind turbines made in China, but you will have to build storage for them, the only proven viable storage is large scale hydro, so you are back as square one.

I have a suspicion that the layer of our society responsible for management and oversight of these projects, both in government and private sectors, is much more inconpetent than that of rival nations, and maybe that's an area to explore.
Real-time impact of Russian bombardments on Ukraine's internet
This would probably benefit a lot from the possibility to scrub through a timeline and then only show all the markers within a few hours of the selected time so that one can actually see where there is ongoing activity.
Russia is already bordered by multiple NATO countries. You should not be parroting Kremlin talking points at this time.
What isthe difference between a tag and filesystem (directory)?

I guess a file having more than one "tag" - but multiple hard links have been a thing in file systems since forever.
> There is no such thing as storage systems at wide scale unfortunately

I can’t find actual current annual production, only estimates for now and actual values for a few years ago, but we produced somewhere between 0.5 (what we did recently) and 1.3 TWh (what some people a few years ago thought we’d be at now) of batteries in the last year.

Given the likely usage patterns, this is already on a relevant scale to all 50 or so nuclear reactors currently under construction, and the expectation is that battery production will approximate rapid positive exponential growth at least to the end of the decade.
I'm generally using Visual Studio Code for all my development. Really like it.

I chose https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua as the Lua engine because it is Golang-based, while the Nginx Lua VM is C, unless I'm mistaken. Using gopher-lua is just easier when I'm working in a Golang project. I only have to work in a single language and dev environment for all the backend work. Makes both development and testing easier.

Moonscript I might have heard of, but I have no experience with it. I did not consider it here, and I would rarely consider any niche scripting language for a solution I want others to use. It just introduces an unnecessary barrier to adoption.
Ukraine wasn't going to be accepted into NATO anyway. They asked. Weren't accepted. Ukraine knows this, Russia knows this, NATO countries know this. It's just Russian excuse for propaganda reasons.

The real reason is that Russians consider Ukrainians "the same nation" and if Ukrainians entered EU or some sort of association with it, and got richer than Russians like Poles, Slovaks, Czechs, Balts etc. - it would be very bad for Putin approval in Russia. Russians would start to think "it could be us", "it could work without the tyranny".

So Putin can't let westernized, wealthy Ukraine to exist. Same reason he helped Lukashenko to stop revolution in Belarus recently.

The rest ("history" lectures, "NATO is encroaching", "Ukrainians are nazis and bombard Russian speakers in Ukraine") - it's just bullshit excuses. Don'r repeat them, please. You are helping an aggressive nationalist dictatorship murder people by accepting their excuses.
The dream of any kind of small scale storage hinges on mining rare earth elements at a scale that no environmentalist will ever support. The greens will fully reverse course here once it becomes clear what kind of activity is required to make that possible.

I call them destablizing because the unjustified attacks on fossil fuels have delivered free countries into the economic hands of despotic regimes.

You don't partner with nations by forcing them into a corner. That's not partnership, that's conquest.

The USSR lost the cold war. The fact that they want to have their cake and eat it too is the root of the issue. The compromise to be admitted into the western system is actually pretty mild, and there are many strong nations within the western framework. Russia would have no problems operating on a similar level as Japan or France if they gave up their desire for geopolitical hegemony.
