I remember Visual Dialogscript!

I ended up using Visual Dialogscript.

It’s on the front page of HN; I think it’s a safe bet that Radars have been filed — though I’m not sure what can be done about this. The fact that they were using os_unfair_lock indicates that someone has looked at the relevant code and tried to make it efficient; the default is a pthread_mutex_t.
> Did sanctions ever achieve this?

Governments have changed behavior after sanctions regimes were put in place. The degree and mechanisms of any causal relationship are infinitely debatable, because it's near impossible to falsify them conclusively.

> If the West actually wants to defend Ukraine, it needs to intervene militarily. If it doesn't, then it shouldn't try to placate its conscience with meaningless token gestures.

The government of Ukraine, who is both better positioned to evaluate the value of interventions and whose leaders have quite a bit personally at stake, doesn't seem to have this attitude of “intervene militarily or fuck off”, and has indeed been calling for sanctions and specific enhancements to them.
> Handing out AK-47 to everyone without even recording who got a weapon is outright irresponsible

"Mr. Miroshnichenko [the head of international affairs for the Territorial Defense Force of Ukraine] turned aside any concerns over arming a civilian population in the capital’s streets, saying that each weapon’s serial number was attached to a passport."[0]

While your concern about training remains, they definitely recorded who got weapons. And also keep in mind that Ukraine, the entire time, had mandatory conscription of all males, where they definitely learned the basics of handling a firearm.

And plus, I am sorry, but there are certain situations when concern over proper training takes a backseat, and this feels like one of them.

Freedom of choice stops when it infringes upon the rights of others.

Dangerous things are either banned, or regulated. This includes operating deadly equipment (drivers licenses) and it includes dress codes in pubic (sanitation is important!). Notably most places only request customers wash their hands but require employees to. That is a distinction made because of the extremely high risk of improper sanitation during food prep versus consumption. Restaurants, including fast food, __should__ be cleaning tables and other common surfaces between uses or at least very frequently to minimize risk.

My position includes enforcement of "herd immunity" (vaccination to the greatest extent possible) as a requirement for participating in society, and then narrowly allows exceptions only where it would not be effective / be greatly riskier for the personal health of the individual than the prevention (thus including the person in the narrow class most protected by the immunity among _others_ rather than a personal contribution to that shared social immunity), OR for those who shun all medical care entirely as a wholistic religious exemption of entirely opting out of that social sector and responsibility as well.

Limiting to only those two classes, plus those for whom the vaccines are not authorized, should hopefully still retain a sufficient group resistance to cause outbreaks to fizzle out, rather than flare up and spread.

Please take the time to read my entire premise (initial reply) and make an attempt to understand the full logic before commenting on it.

You can't be serious. I save someone a million dollars a year knowing how to properly index and query DynamoDB, not about what <doctype HTML> means or whatever.

All identified reserves… meaning lithium found and quantified and deemed extractible.

Problem is that until recently lithium was not a hugely in demand element. As a result not a lot was invested in finding the stuff. Now that it is important large investments will be made and a lot more is likely to be found. It’s a light element and is very abundant in the solar system.

So this means that after not really trying very hard we have already found enough to give every human an EV. That is encouraging. If we try a bit harder and find say 50% more we are good for a really long time.

Oil is an example of something we have tried really really hard to find. We’ve found a ton more than we thought we would.

Any time a friend or relatives asks me to explain what cryptocurrency is, the trust aspect must be front and center, axiomatic to the entire ecosystem. There is not a single thing in the implementation that makes sense without first assuming a lack of trust amongst every single party.

This is also why cryptocurrencies can never be made efficient, and will be a blight for as long as they exist. They are the logical extreme of the inefficiencies imposed by a low-trust society[0].

does it matter? MacOS is using some ancient ass 3.x bash from 2007. The location of bash is the least of your worries when it comes to portability. There's no guarantee any of the commands in your script (a) exist on the system or (b) work with the same options and flags that the script uses. I don't even know how many "netcat" commands I've seen in the wild. You could be running in some BusyBox or pared down Docker container. Blindly running a script that hasn't been deliberately crafted to work on your system is just asking for trouble.
Napkin math but...

A Tesla Model 3 with the smallest pack size is 54kWh which is the equivalent of just under 1100 MacBook Air batteries.

In 2017 the global demand for laptops was 161,600,000 units.

Tesla shipped over 900,000 vehicles in 2021 which is the equivalent of 990,000,000 Macbook Airs.

So if laptop demand remained static, in the span of 5 years our annual demand for lithium still saw a six fold increase.

I'm willing to bet it's closer to 10x or 20x increase in demand for lithium. Did we have that much production capacity open up in the same time frame?

The only clear case I can think of is South Africa, but even that had its own internal movement; sanctions merely sped things up.

Besides, Russia knew of all the possible sanctions way in advance, and proceeded to invade anyway - which already tells you how much the government there is worried about them in practice.

Biden is absolutely correct: sanctions couldn't and won't prevent anything. What he's not saying, but what follows directly, is that military force is the only option that'll work.

The key part is as follows:

> Why then are the people around Putin not scared about possible fallout from a new round of far-reaching economic sanctions? In their eyes, the sanctions that the West imposed to punish Russia for the annexation of Crimea and the war in Donbas were intended largely to check Russia’s rise. America and its allies would have found a way to introduce them one way or another, they were just looking for an excuse.

> Since 2014 such views have solidified. Messrs Patrushev, Bortnikov and Naryshkin all find themselves on the US Treasury’s blacklist already, along with many other members of Mr Putin’s inner circle. There is no way back for them to the West’s creature comforts. They are destined to end their lives in Fortress Russia, with their assets and their relatives alongside them.

Does anyone have details? I saw an alleged excerpt with plaintext passwords and stuff, but it seems a lot more likely to be a compilation from previous data breaches or even a honeypot. It seems like Russia is really into cyberwarfare stuff so it seems unlikely hacks like this would be simple.
Not joking: stop going on the internet. It's scientifically proven to boost concentration. More specifically, do one thing, and only that thing, for a set time period. Do not check your phone, do not even have it in the same room. Do the one thing until time is up.
If this is the first tough and principled choice you have to make in your life then I can imagine it is hard. I've worked hard to put together a life that is worth living, but if it comes to Russia calling the shots here then I'm prepared to give that all up. You don't have to believe me.
I've been tempted to make a large one of these out of some plastic panels lying around that were once part of an Ikea cube organizer thing.

BTW the arduino is overkill. All you need is a few tracks along the wheel and some electrical contacts. Encode the position directly in the track connectivity. Select position by just sending the binary for the desired letter down the wires. When it reaches the correct letter, the powered contacts get cut off and the motor stops turning.

The worst part is that there is no way to turn off the locale sensitivity.

This is bad for not only performance, but correctness. If you are writing a JSON serializer and you use sprintf() to format float/double values, someone can make you produce incorrect output by setting the locale to something that uses "," as a decimal separator.

And there is no way to turn this off!

This is one moment where the difference between an application language and a system language seems clear. An application language could maybe assume that string formatting is for showing to a user. A systems language should assume that you are implementing protocols, and that mere user preference should not change your output.

> This asshole is at war with us. It’s about time we went to war back.

This just shows how blind you are to the shortcomings of Western liberal cosmopolitanism, which is entirely defined by its lack of sense of responsibility for anything at all. It’s a post-modern mindset that just presumes everyone else will always play the same delusional game that it plays, simply because if they don’t then they will be forced to. So, when Putin shows that he is not going to play along, they simply have no plan. They never made a plan, not only because they never thought they needed one but primarily because they had their heads so buried up their own asses.

Are there any courses that help accelerate developing accuracy in sketching? I particularly want to draw figures and faces and animated poses.

Like maybe something on composition? What about that book cartooning the head & figure?

Or do u just gotta sketch 9000000000000000000 times to get it?

I'm an amateur artist and drew every day as a kid. My sketches always have incorrect proportions if I just try to freehand it. Obviously I could trace but that defeats the purpose. It's frustrating because I already have lots of actual hours put into the craft.

You could see projection types or technical drawing books/methods.

I suck at drawing 3D with perspective, but with a cheap isometric projection you can draw open spaces fairly easy (ofc there are more perspectives, but for game map sketching, its pretty useful). The main benefit is that you have measured AXIS, so if you dont have the skill to draw a 3D stair, just remember that its a slope between a perpendicular plane.

You can draw 3D functions/shapes this way. There are special methods for some shapes.
https://www.compuphase.com/axometr.htm

You could make it even more cheap by using aproximations to the isometric perspective (ex: use 30° from the horizontal line) and rejecting realist proportions:
1) Grab a square grid paper
2) Set a center point, this will be (0,0)
3) Draw a line segment from (0,0) to (2,1), this is your X axis.
4) Repeat the same for the other direction, the Y axis, from (0,0) to (-2,1). Now you have an horizontal plane.
5)Draw a vertical line from (0,0) to (0,2), for the Z vertical axis
This is the "cheap" iso projection.

TL;DR
When you have Axis, measures and ratios are your friends.

Well UK and France are both nuclear powers, so that would be war between nuclear powers. And they're NATO members, so that would be war with another nuclear power, the US, as well. Probably more, I can't remember other nuclear powers in NATO off the top of my head, but probably more again. There's no "deciding not to be at war or to go to war" in the case you present.

I'm not advocating absolutist pacifism in any way. But a nuclear exchange could conceivably end advanced civilization on Earth. There are very few test cases in history for direct armed conflict between nuclear capable forces. The only one I can think of is the Cuban missile crisis, where we were 1 out of 3 Soviet sub commanders away from a nuclear tipped torpedo being launched at a US coastal city (they were being buffeted by depth charges, so arguably under attack, and out of communication with command). I don't like those odds.

If dealing with a mostly rational and consistent nuclear opposition, it is perfectly sensible accept certain compromises in order to avoid direct conflict. If you pay attention and read history, you'll see various instances of this happening on both the NATO and Soviet (and then Russian) side over the years.
> China illegally occupies Aksai Chin. Pakistan illegally occupies parts of Kashmir.

Border disputes are everywhere, even between close allies like the US and Canada, the UK and France. Both sides have claims and arguments. That has nothing to do with conquering other other countries.

What should the world do? Fight a war? What has India's government asked the world to do?

India does a lot in concert with the rest of the world, and benefits enormously from it.
