Zig's cross-compilation tooling and C interop is really impressive. I love to see projects that put so much emphasis on solving real-world practical problems like this and implement it so well.

It makes me wonder whether cross-language tooling could be made to work more broadly. It would be awesome if you could have one compiler that would seamlessly compile zig/C/C++/Rust, and perhaps Fortran/ADA too.
One example could be not giving asylum to Snowden, but it's not enough for such a strong claim.

I didn't claim Ukrainians taking arms are terrorists, just that they can be seen like that by the Russian army. There had been already many cases of someone's freedom fighters being someone else's terrorists.

It doesn't produce any power until 10 years after you secure the money, usually costs much more than budgeted, and then has very high operating cost.

Each euro earmarked for a nuke plant is a euro not spent building out solar, wind, and storage that would yield much more power than the nuke, almost immediately, and have extremely low operating cost. So, not green, because it competes with actually green for capital.
> Such an operation cannot need more than a few months at most.

But how much would it have cost to keep those warheads and their rocket engines and all the associated infrastructure in good working order, and secure from accidental launch or denotation, for decades up to the present day?

When the decision was made, I suspect it was not at all clear that having the ability to nuke Russia might be an option worth spending billions on, and at the end of the Cold War many Ukrainians might have thought that the real threat would be from the West (so they could rely on Russian nukes to protect them).

The point still stands, though, that nuclear weapons are a powerful (if expensive) insurance policy for a sovereign nation against unforeseeable future geopolitical risks.
>The ThinkPad 13s will start at $1,099

This $1099 config better have 16GB Memory and 512GB by default. Otherwise it is a machine that cost about the same as MacBook Air M2, with lower Display Res, slower CPU and GPU and No Touch ID. This is perhaps for the first time in history Apple has a better "spec" machine for the same price. With the scale of iPhone and iPad, Apple is now at a point where the whole PC industry can no longer compete. And that is excluding things like speakers, trackpad, and thunderbolt port.

>A spokesperson told Ars Technica that its business customers are being more open to the aspect ratio.

Biggest lie ever. People want 16:10, but for years the industry shove 16:9 to your customer because it was the cheaper panel.

For Context, the Single Core GB5 Scores

Arm Cortex-X1 cores at up to 3 GHz = ~800

Apple M1 ( A14 Core+ ) = ~1700

For PC Laptop counterpart, a 800 GB5 score you are looking at something like AMD Ryzen 7 4700U if it was limited to run at ~10W. So not too bad. Apple is the outliner here.

To save you a click: Windows only and closed source.
While I agree WSL2 is pretty good, and it's great that it's available on Windows, you still have to put up with the day-to-day annoyances of the OS.

The general UX is the main reason why I don't use Windows. I actually gave it an honest try in 2020. I was pretty excited about Windows terminal, the inclusion of OpenSSH (I always hated Putty) and even went on the insider channel to test out WSL2, with Docker desktop and everything. And it was better that I had remembered.

But I just gave up after a few months. The laggy search in the start menu, which I had to fix with some registry change to prevent it from searching the web (!?). The random "quick access" folders in the explorer, which also required registry wrangling to remove. Bonus points for all these reverting randomly after an update.

The hidden taskbar, which would become permanently visible in case a window demanded attention, and no way (that I've found) to disable this behavior. However, it seems fixed on Windows 11.

The windows which would look active, with a blinking cursor and everything, but wouldn't actually be active, and input would go to some other random window. New windows starting up behind the active window, etc.

And my favorite: turning on the computer in the middle of the night for some reason if left in hibernation. I had set the GPO to NOT turn on to uninstall updates, so no idea what it was up to.
Agree completely. I'm practically one new-tab-opened-without-me-asking away from forking a browser just to remove this behavior.

This is because of recombination, which is extremely common among coronaviruses.

If you look at the phylogenetics of the relatives of SARS-CoV-2 (forget about SARS-CoV-2 for a moment), you get different trees if you look at different genes.

Ukraine has a space industry. Just this week a rocket went up which was Russian engines, on a Ukranian second stage, with a US payload.

So while it would be expensive..history pretty much shows it would've been cheaper for Ukraine then what's currently happening, and they definitely have the knowledge and skills locally to do it.
Quite tangential, but I always giggle at this version of time-is-money "I have already put 6+ hours into researching this idea; I would probably pay at least $400 to get that time back."

I understand the reasoning behind adopting such frames, but for me, this way of thinking wouldn't work at all. At best, it'd be my new procrastination shiney. I find a lot of benefit, and also quite enjoy, quantifying like this at a bigger scale, but micro-rationalising such as this totally doesn't suit my brain. I wonder if it's me or him in the minority?

The "therefore" following from the time-is-money logic (he would pay > $1000 for this product) seems like a pretty alien disconnect for me. My back of envelope would probably be "most people pay between $x-$y for lighting and/or other decor stuff, therefore..." s

I don't disagree on his conclusion (maybe $400-$1200 price point), which makes me wonder if either of us are really arriving at our conclusions in the way we think we are, or just retconning our reasoning using random ideas floating around our minds uselessly.

In any case, I think the overall idea is good and the timing is good. For a start, it's a fairly DIY-ish on the interior design front thing regardless of available products because you can't use 20000 lumen lights the way you would a 200 lumen light.

It's an interesting idea. Apparently there's a 400-byte implementation of Tromp's blc, but I suspect you could make the interpreter both smaller and faster by using bytecodes rather than Tromp's binary codes, which I think are optimized for giving a plausible measure of Kolmogorov complexity.

I've also been working on an interpreter called Qfitzah for large machines; it implements a term-rewriting language with pattern-matching, dynamic containers, dynamic typing, and dynamic polymorphism in under 1000 bytes: http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/qfitzah.s

My next step on it is to enrich it with basic integers and integer ops.

I don't think Kolmogorov complexity measures self-replication. Rather, it uses the code to produce ("replicate") a string to measure that string's entropy.
Personally, I'd much rather rather have a strong understanding of Algo/DS than deploy K8s clusters.

Nothing todo with how people look, but more with "get used to" for example in the middle east. Not many in Germany felt involved even in Iraq where German soldiers where stationed (nothing to see here...it's like that since 2002).

Having unbiased news these days is impossible. Reporting 100% truth online would be probably boring. At the end, it is always up to you, if you believe those information or not. Narration is always shaped in some way. Even personal verification is shaped. I wouldn't say it is bad or good. It is how it is. We are people, we are different.

I'm much more worried about general sanctions and censorship. This is first step to make conflict deeper in future and eventually could be used against anyone. Just imagine that asking this questions could be sanctioned or persecuted because it would be considered as proX or proY propaganda.

We should think about each other more and not let media think for us. Do not let them create virtual enemies and justify evil things.

It wraps clang, so it supports whatever clang supports, C++ included.

I haven't personally tried it, but I'd expect that if all else fails you could add a step in build.zig to run CMake and then link against whatever library you just built.

That's true, but having the Nukes, would may raise more responsibility around that topic too. Ukraine would be today a different country. The region dynamics would be different. Pakistan and North Korea demonstrated that. Said that, the only variable from the geopolitical point of view that for sure can be evaluated here is the possibility of "avoiding a Russia invasion in the Ukraine".

Perhaps in theory, considering that when you look at someone's face outside on a sunny day, it is brighter than that. OTOH, staring directly into a lightbulb isn't pleasant, so I suppose there's more to this.

Either way, I think the best way to deal with bright light isn't a brighter screen. It's an unlit screen, like e-ink or something.
I did menrion WW2, didn't I? Hitler and the Holocaust were, IMHO, what caused proposals like the Morgenthau Plan. Luckily, the Marschall Plan won, and helped create a stable Europe. Before that, Europe was a hotbed of conflict.

Out of couriosity, Hitler and the Nazis would have justified ehat exactly after the war when it comes to the German population at large? That de-natzification wasn't near as complete as it should have been is a different story.

Even at a big company, having someone pushing for you internally makes a difference. Probably not much on the hiring process, but pushing bureaucracy, ensuring a recruiter / coordinator looks at your CV and schedules your interviewers sooner, and so on.

Proximity to the Russia heartland presumably. Flight time of missiles to key military positions within Russia.

I'm no military strategist but how is this not obvious?

It's not about a neutral zone, it's about a buffer zone between more sensitive areas and where NATO can place troops, tanks, and missile systems. I mean a sea separates Alaska from north-east Russia and those places are deep into permafrost territory and then there's the entirety of Western and Central Russia between Moscow (say) and there. Russia is huge. 90% of the Russian population live in the 10% of Russia that is considered part of the European continent.

It's like nobody bothers to study geography or geopolitics before they open their mouth these days.

I think it's an advantage that you can read both English and Russian sources. And it's such a lazy idea to pursue some [unbiased] [good] source. Be an adult and try understand the world by yourself. And because it's such a difficult and tiring process, sometimes it would be better just return to your normal life and all these things (social network / news / forum discussions) are not that relevant to your life actually. They do not deserve your attention. They are just something like gaming.

I'm facing the same situation that I can read both English and Chinese sources. So I'm writing these words to myself at the same time.
There is absolutely no need to devote land to exclusively solar or wind use.

Maybe by also changing the voting method to secret ballot?

A poor country would then have no incentive to actually vote for the crazy idea, as they would not be able to present proof of their vote in favor of the crazy idea, and could therefore not collect the bribe.

A bad actor would need to persuade the majority of nations to as a collective agree on the benefits of the bribe outweighing the consequences of the crazy idea. It would need to be a huge bribe, as without knowing who voted in favor, they would need to agree on splitting it among the majority of nations who promised they would vote in favor, and if the proposal passes, the bribe would be paid out.

Hopefully a majority of the nations are not bribable. Can we think of some way to estimate how many nations we think would be bribable?

$ curl -H 'accept-encoding: gzip' -I https://alvaromontoro.github.io/almond.css/dist/almond.min.css | grep content-length
content-length: 4198

Looks like they slipped past their alleged limit and didn’t notice or didn’t update their documented target. My observation with this kind of stylesheet is that they normally do slip like this.

I would also say that 19KB/4KB gzipped is not particularly lightweight for this type of stylesheet, though in its defence it is more thorough in its element coverage than most (… which just means that the significant majority of it will be dead code on most pages).

For the rest, I’m not going to go into it (nothing stands out as particularly good or bad) save this one point that offends me greatly:

--font-weight-bolder: 700;
--font-weight-bold: 400;
--font-weight-normal: 200;
--font-weight-thin: 100;

These figures are offensive. 700 is bold, 400 is normal, 300 is unpleasantly thin at 16px on most platforms and most fonts (macOS under default configuration being the exception, as they perform glyph dilation that no one else does), 200 is illegibly thin below maybe 30px, and 100 is hairline, not to be used below around 50px. The font stack of `Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif` is the dubious salvation of these weights (a dodgy font stack too, by the way, better simplified to just sans-serif), as I think (but certainly don’t know) that all platforms will by default resolve this to a font that does not possess a lighter weight than 400. But if someone has it resolve to a font that does contain a weight below 400, you’ve just wrecked the page for them.
