Also Ukraine has massive coal reserves (that's where the name Donbas comes from) and some of the richest agricultural land in the world.

This assumes that Russia tries to capture and hold ground though and we've seen how insurgency wars have worked out for the Russians and Americans for the last 3 decades.

Currently I've been watching four Telegram groups. Most are Russian propaganda / pro-war. But I still find it interesting to see everything.

Sanctions do definitely have the potential to just push their target towards independence. That's why closing down things like social media would be a risk: closing off the last paths to ordinary Russian citizens is not a good idea for information "warfare".
I've been using TikTok for a while and is that claim based or anything? I've been fed cat videos and unless that is now subliminal communist propaganda I have to say Chinese firms and American firms seem to have only one goal, which is to get me to click on more stuff

given that the party is seemingly trying to dismantle them to the best of their ability I'm inclined to think even they agree
Thanks for giving it.
For an other example, nat gas accounts for 13% of germany’s electric production (out of about 600TWh). In accounts for nearly 25% of the primary energy mix (out of about 3700TWh).

Even assuming all the gas plants are simple cycle peaking plants with horrid efficiency (say 20% which is extremely low even for peaking plants), electricity still would account for about 40% of germany’s nat gas consumption.

In reality, much as in france, the vast majority (~75%) of nat gas goes to heating.
There are many ways to properly implement content-id, for example using fingerprinting (like Shazam does). These methods are able to detect matches even with a lot of noise and changes...

I hope they implement something like this, to make detecting duplicates and blocking "revenge porn" much easier and to have regression against re-uploading.

> Finland is almost militantly neutral, since that was the original condition to independence in the first place.

Finland a long time ago voided/broke the Paris peace treaty on their own. Basically once the Germany unified in 1990 Finland went "nope we don't like this peace treaty anymore".

If Finland was still following the treaty we would not be allowed to have aircraft that can deploy bombs, mere than 60 planes (including civilian airfact registered to Finland), more than 34k total infantry+border guard, 10k tons total displacement of navy, no sea mines or torpedoes. Finland has gone way past these since.

The only part of the Paris peace treaty we still follow is the no nukes part and that due to signing a separate treaty about not getting nukes in the 70s.

The problems to solve are all in the realm of mechanical and small-scale civil engineering, the sort we have been used to solving for a century or two, routinely.

Certainly pasture and row crops most easily coexist with elevated solar, but there is a lot of pasture. The yield benefits for row crops are attractive, though. In water-stressed areas, the reduced irrigation need might be the main benefit, but they all add up.
There's a lot of this in Argentina (we call it "Legislation through it system").

For example, for many years it was legal to invoice in foreign currency, but you MUST inform the tax agency of all invoiced emitted in real time. Their API required that you specify the currency, and only the value for local currency was accepted -- nothing else.

So while it was technically legal to do something, the IT system would block you from doing it.
If it’s always your last resort, then you’ll run out of political capital at work. IT staff are also generally not responsible for these policies in the first place—IT staff wouldn’t install an internet filter, for example. That’s something that a VP would ask for. Getting into fights with a VP over policy can end badly if you ignore office politics.

Putin (and his kgb clique) is loosing grip on the power, the war started to be the only way to rally local support and remain in the power. Small scale, local conflicts are growing in size to appease common people to give them taste of USSR former glory, taste of world power, not decay of corruption riddled aristocracy ruled former empire.

Putin is at the top of the pyramid but he is not the sole ruler of the Russia. Its not like if he dies Russia will magically become exemplary democracy.

There were and still are people lining up and aiming to take his seat, but as long as Putin appears to be strong and gives his underlings enough he will remain on the throne.

I recommend Transferwise [1](now just Wise) for getting money to someone in Ukraine. They've got low fees and the ability to send money to Privatbank cards. Used them many times, while in Ukraine and while in the US.

What was your impression of the grocery store? Were the shelves mostly bare, or pretty full?

I heard most stores are mostly out of stock ("only expensive food is left") and that supplies are expected to last 15-25 days, but I was curious if that was accurate.

Thanks for the tip about TransferWise -- I wasn't sure how to send money to people. My go-to is usually Venmo, but I haven't tried it internationally.

As I recall, it wasn't just that unsafe was being used, plenty of libraries use unsafe, but that there were multiple examples of unsafe being used with provable soundness issues when it was possible to do the same with safe code and no performance loss. On a web server which the author was advertising as production ready.

Additionally the author was reluctant, and in the final case outright refused, to accept fixes because they weren't interesting. For that last one, the fix was to replace the custom Cell (or RefCell, I forget) implementation with the one from the standard library. The big "dog pile" happened on that last one.
Yes, as dead as COBOL.
I was researching before posting and I think I saw something like 40% in a paper, which is much more than the naive 25% you’d get at 2au.

But for things like heating, latitude makes a big difference. I did some calculations for a fanfic I wrote, and at a moderate 30°N or so, you basically get the same insolation as Rovaniemi in Finland assuming similar atmospheres. No wonder those characters never got sunburns.
Had exactly this discussion in a circle of people where most identify as clear introverts (jftr, I don't) - and they unequivocally said that chat doesn't really count for the social exhaustion. I think most of it that you can just step away, often even mid-conversation - and the simple fact that it's not voice or even personal interaction. I guess it's really multi-faceted and people my age (late 30s) who grew up with chat and being online and having a lot of friends you only meet once per year (or only every few years) then interaction can be different and you're maybe even interacting more, just not in person. So does that even fit the classic definition of introvert?
> I recommend a different strategy when you encounter annoying processes like this—insist upon following these processes, to the letter, and going through appropriate channels until the system collapses under its own weight.

Yup, this usually works. If lots of stupid bureaucracy is required for things that should be straightforward, then my daily summary will often be "yesterday morning I had to deal with stupid bureaucracy".

I can waste time if you pay me to do so, I'll just remind you that you're asking me to waste time where I could have been doing something useful. (Tip: I won't do this indefinitely, usually a short time is enough to make the broken processes evident).
Got there at 11 AM, shelves were still half-full, but bread was gone and it was clear everything would be gone by the end of the day.
Taxes are a problem but the work culture is also an issue. I tried to setup shop in Italy last year and it was... a mess. People not joining calls, broken English, a very concerning lack of trust in general from job candidates. I was offering market or higher than market wages. I ended up hiring more in our base in Krakow. It's getting harder to find people in Krakow but the work culture is on another level and English good across the board. Net IT salaries in Poland are more or less comparable to Italian ones, the overall cost difference is max ~20% for senior roles, so yeah taxes, but not enough to explain the "hold back" honestly.
Good luck. My girlfriend is Ukrainian and has been working on her family's evacuation plan as well all morning.

There's an interesting contrast between this comment and your previous one from yesterday, and she shares how you feel. She was taken aback by how this "came out of nowhere", even though it really didn't. Up until this morning, she didn't believe an invasion was possible.

I believe Finland has a compulsory conscription system for all males over 18:

Nit: Donbas is not a city, the city is Donetsk, and Donbas is the name of the region around it, from "Donetsk (coal) basin".

Lviv is a city very close to the border with Poland, a NATO member.
Thank you for clarifying. I didn't know that
About 4 years ago I filed a bug report about tabs opened from a pinned tab not opening as the rightmost tab (it opens as the first tab). I also tried to write a patch for it, but the issue is still open.

Anyway, how is Mozilla to work for? I always thought it must be great, but recently reading about the firings and project cancellations it doesn't seem so rosy anymore.
So much misconceptions in this opinion. It seems you dupped by the anti-nuclear lobby and the pro-fusion lobby.

Non of the things you suggest are even remotely true.

- Fusion are as big a proliferation risk, and existing fusion reactors and GenIV reactors that are being built are very small proliferation risk.

- Fusion would be equally uninsurable. Practically speaking a accident that leaves the exclusion zone is less likely with a modern GenIV reactor that are currently in regulatory approval.

- Nuclear waste of modern reactors (and past reactors) can be broken down burned up. The outcome is waste that needs only a few 100 years of storage and isn't really all dangerous in that time. Its not actually a big practical issue. No deep Geo-1000000 year storage needed.

- Literally every country has practically unlimited thorium in the ground. Isolating thorium pretty easy and its a by product of rare earth mining. Non supply of fertile material is a non issue. So once you have actual nuclear reactors running there is no chance of supply issue.

And all of this could have been done 40+ years ago as well. Fusion is not needed.
> But no matter how good search gets, it will not stop users from putting files untagged into one big junk folder.

The difference is it's more likely the user will notice other tags the apply in each thing that would have been moved to 'junk' then if they had to more coarsely categorize all the junk in advance.
I left my home in Odessa yesterday evening, spent the night in Izmail, and crossed the border into Romania this morning.

None of my friends in Ukraine believed this would happen. I was often met with "Oh… You shouldn't believe everything you see in the media…".

I am devastated.

Do I understand correctly that I still need to run either an extra service outside the browser on my client machine, or some service on a central server I own (the WebRTC-Star thing?) for this to work?
I'm serious. Are you going to fix bugs in that filesystem? Put on your resume that your main Linux contribution is as a diligent maintainer of that filesystem? You can't do that, because of the name. No development and maintenance, and it's dead.
Molten solt reactors do not solve the problem of nuclear waste. It is very expensive to deal with it as it has to be stored for hundreds of years unless some technology would appear to separate that cheaply. Fusion produce like order of magnitude less radioactive waste which will be short-lived.

Plus a fusion plant can be very quick to start and shutdown or throttle down which is very useful for base load.
Putin said in his recent speech that he thinks Lenin made a mistake in breaking up the Russian Empire into independent nations (that then joined the USSR). I think Putin is more after restoring the old Russian Empire than restoring the USSR.
Nope, they're all 1980s and early 1990s models. Just the way I like it.

I use them on Windows (very occasionally) and on Linux (mostly). I use old Apple mechanical keyboards on MacOS boxes.

I miss having a Windows key, and I don't really need CapsLock, so I just remap CapsLock to Super and presto, 100% functionality.

This is a built-in function in Windows -- it's just a Registry key -- so all you need is to set it. There's a handy FOSS program called SharpKeys to do it for you, after which SharpKeys itself can be uninstalled.
https://www.randyrants.com/category/sharpkeys/

(It's built in on macOS as well; I have a Lenovo USB keyboard with Trackpoint on one of my Macs and I remapped CapsLock to Command there.)

I also redefine the Right Alt key as a Compose key.

In Linux, these are both desktop-dependant. In GNOME-based desktops (GNOME, Unity, Cinnamon etc.) it's either in keyboard settings, or banished to the Tweaks app (for stuff that the GNOME developers don't need and therefore consider irrelevant and unimportant.)

In KDE it's in System Settings somewhere, like everything the KDE devs want. (Want to resize your start button? Want to resize the clock? Want a panel spanned over 2 monitors? Tough, you can't.)

In Xfce environments, e.g. on openSUSE, I just use `xmodmap` in my login scripts somewhere. Can't remember now; it's years since I did it.

I don't need a right-click-menu key, so I ignore that. I don't use media keys anyway, so I don't care about them.

But for my purposes, I find having Command/Windows/Super to be handy, and that is trivially easy to achieve on the main 3 desktop OSes.
Also agree. It's also an alliance mostly built on trade and laws, with some intelligence thrown in if the parties feel like it. The EU has stayed away from military allegiance.
The community is also great. Honestly, the main thing preventing things from moving faster is lack of time to review PRs. There's a lot of interesting things in the pipe!
> US tech companies use their power to censor some boobs and nipples, China will use their power in much more horrible ways.

That is a hopefully just naive (uninformed?) statement. US tech companies use their power already for censoring political parties/views, sell security/espionage technology to dictatorships/authoritarian governments, have invented dopamine exploiting dark patterns to keep their users captive, have a natural tendency for growing into a monopoly, lobby/threaten governments against the public interest and a lot more.
no, they very explicitly co-lead the round with Willoughby Capital and the participation from Tiger Global, Gangwal, Moore Capital, Deimos, and Fasanara Capital.

Buying something to own/control it and investing in something for an expected future return are very, very, extremely different things and even more so in this context.

Both formally (terms and conditions signed by all the parties involved, and there are many here and it's Series B, the clauses regarding equity, control, debt, exits and so forth) and practically.
You're correct, but are distracting the conversation from the matter at hand.
At least Finland doesn't, to my knowledge, have a meaningful amount of Russian population to "liberate". Compared to countries that used to be soviet republics, I'd say they are relatively safe.
It sound like micro text editor take a look have incredible ux
> this problem and issue that has very viable practical solutions and storage for a few hundred years is viable.

So you mean to say that there is no practical reason for fusion power to exist for as long as you ignore the long term consequences of what you're doing?
most of that cost is politically based not technical

Thank you! A better (more solid) connection between the kit and the frame would be on the top of my priority list, if I were to build it again.
Germany and France have much better reason to actually defend Finland. The Euro.

Basically if a Euro country gets invaded and the other countries do nothing that crashes the value of the Euro which would destroy the economies of the other Euro countries. And the non-Euro EU countries have a good reason to follow the same logic as Euro crashing would also destroy their economies.
The article proposes to replace the current file system approach (which works just fine for me, by the way, thank you very much) with something different to solve a problem that I (just like the post you reply to) have no interest in.

Better search? Sure! Improved speed of storage and retrieval? Great! But either show that it is not degrading current functionality or be ready for pushback from people suspicious that their current setups will break. My 2c.
How do mid/late stage developers learn new languages/frameworks?
Recently came across two publications by ACM:

https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2022/3/258914-technical-perspective-how-do-experts-learn-new-programming-languages/fulltext

https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2022/3/258915-here-we-go-again/fulltext

(the first link references the second so one could start with the second link)

I have around 7 years or XP now, and have switched roles between the Java/Spring ecosystem to .NET and am now struggling with Ruby and Rails.

Before reading this article, I, too, thought that programming languages and frameworks are just tools, and that if you know the basics of one, you can easily switch between them. In practice, however, I have found that to not be true. Also, while learning new languages/frameworks is hard, it's twice as hard to do it on the job, where there is added pressure of delivering work items while paralleling learning things.

What are some techniques seasoned developers use to quickly pick up new languages and frameworks? And how do you juggle expectations with your bosses on delivery while you're doing this learning?

It's amazing we have gotten to this point where any wrong move in front of a cop is more dangerous to the public than any danger the perpetrator of a traffic violation could impose.

Honest question, statistically who is more likely to die in a traffic stop? Police or the suspect?
Was going to say exactly that (only perhaps a little shorter). My example would have been the North American indigenous nations, aka "Indian tribes".

I have a Libra 2, but I don't think it should be that different.

You log in/create an Overdrive account on your Kobo (Libby is made by Overdrive), add your library card to your Overdrive account and you're good.

Then when you search for books on the store on your Kobo you click the three dot menu (next to the buy button) and "Borrow" will be an option if it's available from your library.

Otherwise after connecting Overdrive you can use the Libby app on your phone or wherever to borrow books, then just connect to wifi and sync your Kobo, and it automatically downloads the borrowed books
While my experience matches yours exactly, I just wanted to add to this point:

> "One on one meetings are underrated; group meetings waste time"

My rule of thumb is, “up to 5 people is a meeting; more than 5 is a presentation.”
I don't find this that interesting since the bug was not "fixed" in the sense most people probably think about fixing a bug -- i.e. someone picks it up, investigates it and writes a fix. It was closed due to housekeeping since, as the latest comment states:

> "legacy" extensions are gone

While I agree that housekeeping large backlogs is commendable, this bug was if anything fixed by "accident", and is no more a fix in the traditional sense than closing a bug for an EOL operating system because the issue described no longer exists.

Broader ethical issues of deskilling aside, it makes no sense to do this for university professors (virtually the definition of an extensively-trained professional) creating course material (a key task they were hired to do).
FWIW, there is a more general-purpose solution if you want extensive remapping: Kinto.
https://benreaves.medium.com/kinto-a-mac-inspired-keyboard-m...

E.g. when using a Model M on a Mac for a longer time, I redefined Ctrl as Cmd, meaning that PC-like keystrokes Just Work™ (Ctrl-C to copy etc.) and also redefined CapsLock as Ctrl.

For me, the feel of an IBM keyboard tells my muscle memory to use PC-type control keys. The above fixes that.

Others, for reasons that elude me, want the same _positions_. In 35 years of using Macs, I'd never noticed that Cmd is next to the space bar and Opt/Alt is further away. Kinto lets you do this: remap Alt as Cmd, Ctrl as Opt, and I think CapsLock as Ctrl.

The point being that this is an easy situation to work around and there's a choice of solutions.
I'd learn electronics if I were you. Then you could build your own computer from scratch and fix it if it breaks.
