> It can also easily become a vehicle for one or more lurking manager types who simply have to know everything all the time, whether or not that brings any actual benefit to the team.

Given that type of character within the working environment, I'd personally prefer that their communications were largely on-display to all the teams around them.

Them knowing everything that is going on doesn't necessarily seem a problem in itself, but if they're using that to cause disruption or selectively push different parts of the organization in different directions, then -- unless there is some broader plan that they could share -- it seems like the teams could more easily encourage the person onto a healthier path by having visibility into those patterns.
There's talk Russia is willing to use nuclear weapons. Finland's foreign minster just floated the idea:

It was another lousy year for Berkshire Hathaway. Hey, at least this year they matched blind dumb indexing! But no interesting major purchases, no benefit from their cash stockpile despite another extraordinary year of volatility & opportunity, and reading the letter is unimpressive - as much as ever it reads like a rambling copy-paste job from the previous year. One wonders at what point the shareholders should hold a family meeting and take the keys away from great-uncle Warren, and if that point is already past.
Again, lipstick on a pig.
Blockchains (like eth and its alternatives) sell blocks (compute with a ledger). Those blocks "have value" to the people who build things on them like NFT's, defi, ponzi schemes, etc... One can argue that those applications don't have value, are scams, are unethical but people are paying a lot of money for those blocks on a daily basis; and holders of those L1 tokens benefit from that value. If you think of eth as a niche cloud provider providing compute with a ledger, then it looks like a stock who's long-term value will depend on useful and legal it's niche becomes after people (do or don't) come up with products and regulation is implemented.

> cryptocurrencies which have no such relationship to the real world

This is a key point unless the concept of the metaverse takes off; you're starting to see this change though. Look at the Coachella NFT as an example. People will pay to have guaranteed weekend 1 tickets for multiple years; there are years where this is basically sold out before public ticket sales but there's a status element to be able to go W1. These people (like young adults) will probably go for a few years, get bored (or have a change in lifestyle/priorities), then probably resell those NFT's to someone who's a few years earlier in their lives and wants guaranteed W1. This sounds like a ponzi scheme by the description many commenters here are using; the only value is getting some sucker down the road to waste their money for a guaranteed W1 ticket. There's a non-zero chance that coachella doesn't even exist 5 years from now. There's a bigger chance that it's not as popular and the value of any NFT is worth less then it is today. Yet it doesn't feel as scammy because of the real world event that's involved.

You're in a pretty big bubble if you think it was worth anyone's time to compare invading Ukraine for absolutely zero reason with ~30% of the world's second strongest army - to a few drone strikes in Syria that were not completely unprovoked.

There is a project for deep geothermal heat in Finland. They specifically chose to do it here as it is one of the worst places to do it (have to drill really deep to get anything useful also the first 4 to 5km is just pure bedrock instead of some softer material).

So they ended up making 6.4km deep holes where they got 121 degree (celcius) water. Once pumped up to ground level it cools down to 110 degrees but it is more then hot enough for district heating.

The original plan was to got 9km deep but it was already hot enough at 6.4km so they stopped there to save money.

Interestingly enough I had the same understanding as you and it appears to be wrong (unless the definition has changed as they seem to be wont to do in recent years). I was under the impression that a coup was when the military seized power from the civilian government and a revolution was when the civilian populace tore down the current government. This is the current definition that google returns and it does not support that understanding:

.
a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government.
We've got, like, 99% of media talking about this, could we please avoid it on technical resource? As much as I love reading opinions of tech people, I'd still rather not see these kind of disputes here. Sorry if I offended anyone.
There are no "powers that be," this is just a popular reduction used to construct simple thoughts.

There are humans, existing in a complex society. All meaning is negotiated all the time. All the expectations of behaviour from which your confidant hueristic analysis springs are at all times liable to be contradicted. For instance, few would have thought that the "powers that be" would permit massive conventional war in Europe at this late date.

There is no platonic, eternal, divine legal system in which we encode what is and isn't actually war or which escalations are permissible in discrete scenarios.
I've wondered about this for a while now. How strong is the Russian and Chinese militaries in _actual_ warfare?

The thing about the US military is that we've actively been engaged in warfare continuously for a long time. We're battle tested.

Their militaries aren't.

Still, I think it's important to never underestimate the "enemy".
That makes more sense although I am still skeptical, i.e. the moment the line is crossed possibly by chance you then have an emboldened enemy.
Dorico is a really fantastic piece of software. Lilypond is great for engraving but pretty bad for composing. Sibelius is great for composing but I never liked engraving in it. Dorico is a happy medium, in that it separates the composing workflow from the engraving workflow. They use different interfaces, because they are different tasks.

Don't use finale. I did professional engraving in it (for works that were composed using it), and it is a broken buggy nightmare. IIRC, one of my then-employer's clients sued the company that maintains it, because opening a file in a later version of Final resulted in carefully-placed dynamics, text, and articulations moving to different locations. Dozens of hours of lost work.
Yeah, this is the right place to fight about who has better tolerance for either extremes of heat without recognizing that people grow up in and adapt to very different climates.
Even during the Cold War they cooperated with NATO counties and their planning involved assuming they would get support from NATO nations.

Anyone have estimates on how many people Russia could kill in the worst case situation of a full scale launch? Would it be the extinction of humanity due to the nuclear holocaust that follows?
Cognitive dissonance even for people who missed it. At the time I was in my early twenties, started my day late, and usually didn't check news until after getting a little bit of work done. When I got to work, nobody else was there, which was weird. There was a TV on an AV cart in the middle of a hallway, also a bit weird. There was a note from the CEO saying that everyone was going home to be with their families. That also seemed a bit weird, but I shrugged it off. Our CEO was a family values guy, very Christian, and I had heard he used to lead prayers in the office when the company was smaller. (It didn't occur to me that it was a Tuesday and everybody's families should be at school or work.) So I sat down with my coffee and started working. After a while, at a time that I guess would have been close to noon in New York, I went to cnn.com, which came up as a primitive-looking site without any media, so I chuckled internally and took a screenshot, thinking CNN had been hacked. How could CNN let themselves get hacked! I skimmed over the headlines thinking that the hackers would have put in something political or humorous, but I didn't see anything like that, and started to think, okay, this is CNN's real content, so their web site got hacked or otherwise impacted by something, so they put up the text site while they recover. I starting thinking about what could have affected their site like that, and then it dawned on me that the top headline might have something to do with it.

I know others have been downvoted for saying this, but for me the shocking nature of it took a while to sink in. I had not had a chance to travel much yet at that point. I had been to New York City once, just like I had been to Europe once and seen London and Paris and Rome. I came from a small town in Texas and had a habit of thinking of all of those places as the "real world" where big real things happened, places that had diplomats and stock exchanges and famous universities and celebrities and, well, terrorist attacks. The 9/11 attacks didn't violate that sense of order. On a gut, emotional level, it was just a real world type thing happening in a real world type place. It took me a while to understand why people were reacting so differently.
I would love to believe this as well, but the fog of war is dense -- maybe even more dense when state-controlled Russian actors are able to flood every social media platform with propaganda.

Even the confirmed information from the ground is incomplete (as you'd expect this early in the conflict).

What sources do you feel are reliable regarding the situation on the ground?
does it anyway you risk death by doing anything that obstructs them.

This is simply FUD being spread by someone who knows absolutely nothing about what he's talking about. Police in the U.S. aren't all like the ones you "see on TV." That's the 0.1% of the bad cops being used to define all cops.

Unless you're okay with everyone thinking that all programmers are sacks of shit because of the 0.1% that are cryptocurrency scam artists?
Please for the love of everything go and inform yourself on the basics of computing especially hardware. There is so much shitty hype about everything and we are at least 1-2 Generations away to make anything remotely feasible in that direction.
A single transfer for ETH maybe but that's also in part because ETH price is low. If you want to move erc20s it costs significantly more And if your portfolio includes many projects it is unseemly. Also a lot of exchanges or at least the biggest one - Binance - have higher withdraw fees in part because they must make multiple transactions to send your money out.
You may well be right about all of that. And then you will have to consider that if Russia had not invaded Ukraine this would not have happened regardless of which party fired the rocket. You can take it as read that Ukrainians would not willfully take out their own apartment buildings.

So whatever the direct cause the responsibility for all this lies with the Russians.
That would also mean going from kilowatts per person to megawatts per person, so yeah that's pretty crazy.
I wouldn’t bet literally everybody’s life on that. They’ve had 30 years of fat oil revenues to rebuild capability.
However people may change...
You may be right. Back of the envelope kinds of computation though, 6 miles of 12" diameter bore hole is 99,525 sq ft of surface area for thermal transfer. If you think of the lower half of that as the heat injection surface (so 3 miles -> 6 miles and then back up to 3 miles on the way out) call it 100k sqft of rock surface. Now some people have spent a lot of time studying rock (https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1988/0441/report.pdf) I'm not one of them (more of a casual geologist because I like hiking in the mountains) but if I'm reading the heat transfer equations from pg 91 of that report it still seems like you'd get a decent amount of heat transfer (order of 10's of MJ) into the water.

Thermobaric means that the explosion uses oxygen from the air and don't need to carry oxidizer. Thermobaric weapons are not that rare. They come in all shapes and sizes. Russia has thermobaric warheads for RPG-9's. The US has 40mm thermobaric grenades.

TOS-1 or TOS-1A mentioned in the article are relative short range 3,500 m -
6,000 m. They destroy effectively areas of few hundred meters in diameter. But missiles are big and supply logistics needed is extensive.

There's a joke in Sweden about English housing, and it goes like this:

"Hey, do you know why the English run their water pipes on the outside of their houses?"

"No?"

"It's so that they can get to them easier when they freeze!"

And then everyone laughs.

...and then years later you visit England, find out that it's actually true, and then you cry.

It's pretty eye-opening how terrible the insulation standards are outside the Nordics. It's one of those things we take for absolutely granted, and then you realize that absolutely no-one else really does this.

This video made the rounds a couple of years ago:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2zi5GKFCf_/

Everyone from the Nordics commenting on it went "aawwww, how cute!", everyone else went "OMG THE HEATING BILL!!??!??!"

No, look at how the snow is piled up against the windows without melting. Those are quadruple-paned insulated panoramic windows. They do not leak heat.
IMVHO you can't get other answer than: try it an measure...

Energy consumption does not depend ONLY by the target temp but ALSO by the external temp, or the Δt between them, the level of insulation of your house, how airtight (and eventually with what kind of VMC you have) etc even approximated answers can't be much meaningful.

What I can testify having switched from a "classic" (low insulation, no good vent etc) home to a new "class A" (french BBC to be more precise) one is that insulation, ventilation, good passive heating (windows on south, well exposed to the low winter Sun, but covered for the high summer Sun) does work enormously well. Or, the "Green New Deal" do have some tangible basis, unfortunately it's not much practical in most of the EU, at least in cities and in general in dense area, to rebuild anything accordingly, especially in a short term.

If you want to save money and have a better life, my real suggestion is: flee the city, looking for a home you can afford, one in a reasonably served place and do your best to telework. You like it or not that's the direction we heading, so the better you can get in this direction the batter you'll get paid off in the future... Other "emergency gimmick" do not really work, if they it's too little for too much effort, or they are simple raw cuts like "to save money do not go on holidays" witch might work in some short term terms, but are not much sustainable in the long run...
I know! Isn't it amazing?! Yet now it's a hallmark of right-wing thought in the US! My Republican relatives are absolutely sure that everyone in government, medicine, science, and education is lying to them or trying to manipulate them.

They didn't change anything retroactively, calm down or host your own git server.
Seems like they corrupted it away. The market won't innovate as well if it's not technological merit but money under a table that decides which company gets a defense deal, and when a considerable portion of that money is embezzled. And you can't get as much military resources built with these obstacles. Maintenance becomes non-existent, or done only for show. Etc.

Russian military is also brainwashed with their pseudo-scientific geopolitical propaganda, your army simply can't work well if it thinks that bullshit is true, just look at the idiotic "tactics" they're using right now.
Personal check is a quasi-promissory note binded whose legal-teeth for recovery through law enforcement. “0-conf bitcoin” has no legal teeth for recovery … yet so there is no enforcement (except for the merchant to chase after the scofflaw). “Money is forthcoming”.

Bank cheque is a bank-guarantee binded by banker self-verification (almost always good) with no takeback (voiding) mechanism. “block-chain confirmed” is always a good transaction with no clawback mechanism so you must wait until it’s confirmed before receiving your merchandise.

“Cash is king.”

> Also, if you read the history of your country (and nation), you’ll see that one of your neighbors was occupying your country for a much, much longer time - maybe you’ll find another target to hate ;)

That is the thing you do not get - when you read about it in history books, it is not the same as experience something yourself. When it is your life that is being damaged, it hurts... and hurt people are not objective. People generalize. Read your own comment - you read one unpleasant comment from one guy on the internet and you are already generalizing it to Czechs you met in Prague. How would you react if someone did this[1] to someone you know?

I did not say that I hate you. I was just trying to explain to you why many people might. They do not want to hate (it is not pleasant). They did not choose to "cultivate hatred" as you say. They were hurt and hatred is natural reaction to trauma. Instead of blaming them, the victims, blame those who hurt them.

Ask HN: What do you think of the expression “military aged male”?
Considering the current Russia/Ukraine conflict, and the wartime travel restrictions for men, it feels relevant to ask this question to a wider audience, regardless of whether they are pro anyone, neutral, or feel mostly clueless about the war.

Is "military aged male" a morally legitimate phrase, to be used without further criticism, or should the expression have the same negative connotations as the various types of social repression against women?
> Their militaries aren't.

You might want to do some research on Russia's actions in Syria lately.
Ukraine didn't get into NATO, got invaded anyways.

"We'll leave you alone if you promise never to join NATO" is the bluff, and it's been proven to be a lie this month.

> It takes about 30 minutes to set up your own git server.

It takes about 50 seconds to setup and run a local Docker instance of Gitlab-ce.

The value for time and money (it's free) is insane. You don't just get git, but a fully featured issue management system, a nice UI, CI/CD integration, Kubernetes hooks...etc,etc.

If you want to run your own repo I can't think of anything which is even remotely as valuable. You can even throw it on a Raspberry Pi and have a home lab code repository setup which would make major corporations envious just a few years ago.

If you're using just plain command line git to manage your code projects you're lingering in the past, which is perfectly fine, but these days you can do way better for less work. It's as if you were using bvi (binary vi) to edit your photos when GIMP is freely available. (I hope I get extra credit for not using a car analogy :)

To be clear I'm not dissing command line git - I use it every day. But if you're managing multiple code projects and need to keep track of issues and run automated tests then Gitlab gives you an amazingly powerful tool set for making your life easy.

Knowingly posting an untrustworthy source without any remark on its untrustworthiness implies that you believe that source. It is hard to imagine a more untrustworthy source than state-owned media coming from the aggressor nation in a war that basically all neutral parties agree is unjustified.
> Is Poland/Germany sending anti-tank and anti-air missiles in Ukraine now an "interference"?

I think it doesn’t count as interference, according to arcane rules of international law. For example, during Cold War, US and Soviets would routinely openly arm combatants in their proxy war, and it didn’t count as actual offensive actions.

For comparison, many voices in US are calling for instituting a No-Fly Zone over Ukraine. What that phrase means is they want NATO to commit to shoot down all Russian planes over Ukraine. NATO shooting down Russian aircraft will obviously will be taken as act of war by Russians.

You are completely delusional.

The Russians have murdered much more people in the Eastern European countries that they have occupied than the Nazis ever have. If the Nazis had not been defeated relatively quickly they might have killed much more, but as it happened, the victorious Russians had much more years available to kill everybody who was believed as able to oppose them. Totaled over all the Eastern Europe and the various minorities of Soviet Union, many millions of people, mostly those being the formerly well-educated professionals of the occupied countries, have been either killed immediately or imprisoned, and most have died during detention.

The only difference between the Nazis and the Russians has been that the Russians were more careful to hide many of their actions and as former allies of USA, unlike the Nazis, they have not been the subjects of so many movies or novels describing their crimes during WWII and during the first decades after WWII.
