> I find window title bars to be a waste of space.

Here's a possibly controversial take: why couldn't we do the opposite of mobile "notches" but for the elements of title bars that actually matter?

So instead of having 20% of the window width be taken up by the title (which might as well act as a draggable window handle or allow opening window menu) and another 10% by the action buttons with 70% remaining empty, why couldn't we simply cut out the 70%? Sure, that might complicate the UI of some apps and you'd certainly need to consider how to not create awkward layouts (allow the titlebar to automatically be hidden until hovering over the edge of the window, like some panels do at the edge of the screen in XFCE and other *nix DEs), but surely we can have the best of both worlds?
> Imagine if you will, Mexico wanted to join China's security umbrella and it was receiving Chinese troops, tanks, hardware right across the US-Mexico border. Next Canada joins the party.

Imagine how much raping, murdering and pillaging the US would have to do beforehand to force Canada seek isolation from the US at all cost.

Whataboutists always seem to forget Russia's past actions. EE countries seeking security guarantees is not something that happened in vacuum.

The account was working for long time. And only when Ukrainian Army needed it the most - they blocked account freezing money. For example I've donated big sum to the account and Patreon locked all of it. Even if they return it later... Maybe later it would be late.

I'm removing my Patreon account and ask other people do it too. Praying for Ukrainian Army.

Are you saying that it's more likely API key requirements appear at some point than the interface changing?

I'm not that informed, but intuitively, I'd doubt that.
Sure. You can also use lynx. Both browsers already solve the problem of browsing text based web sites on the command line. I am just wondering why you'd want another one, that isn't even a regular browser.
Does this give you more than a collection of notes about the specific projects though? I'm using Joplin (MD notes with code highlighting etc) in a similar way, but it ends up just another flat collection parallel to the dev directory..
Thanks, yes, this seems like a good stance. I am pro-US because I believe in the values communicated - these values apply globally, if you want to believe in it (and I want), even if you're not US citizen. I don't see any values for outsiders in Russia's system.
Can you support by training people?
I guarantee you there are American veterans who are flying right now to Europe with the intention of making their way to Ukraine to help on the ground -- there were crazy fucks doing this in Syria a few years ago.

That's a huge gamble.

What you're talking about is not.
And also next winter. We absolutely have the means to get rid of our dependence on Russian fossil fuels (and fossil fuels in general). But we won't be able to do it within one year.
Absolutely fascinating to see brand new accounts (all made within the last ~2 months) repeating the same propaganda here on HN, of all places. And not just one, but several -- exactly the same language, too: "Mexico ICBMs," "Azov Battalion," etc. I don't want to accuse anyone of disinfo ops, but spending literally all my day on social media today (reddit/Twitter/FB/HN/etc.), I've started to notice patterns.
Once you have a company with an inefficient bureaucracy there are no easy answers. I could take another look that was favorable to those who demand the bureaucracy be circumvented.

Is the participant who intentionally submits so many requests that they anticipate breaking the system a good moral actor? I’d say no. You shouldn’t do things that are going to force your coworkers to endure the “system collapses under its own weight.” You’re just moving the pain of the bureaucracy from you to someone else who is also powerless to defy it.

The maximum asshole(MA) speaks a truth — the system isn’t working and we need to smash it. MA also informs all senior personnel that the system which they are most responsible for isn’t working.

I had heard of that book, but didn’t know anything about it, so thanks for the recommendation.
They love playing with containers and jars, absolutely. The male I have been describing especially enjoyed opening tightly sealed jars - although he displayed an aversion to all jars for a bit of time after one of the few times we put him with the octopus I'd call the "alpha female". He had handed her a large jar to play with, in what I would describe as an act of kindness. She proceeded to open it and take it back to him. He squeezed inside the jar - and then with intense rapidity, she immediately began screwing the lid back on, trapping him inside. We had to let the poor guy out after she waltzed away and seemingly had zero interest in letting him out. We never let the two of them play together unsupervised after that, worried for his safety.
> What the invasion of Ukraine has done is proved that the states that chose to join NATO in the decades since the end of the Cold War made the right decision.

Honestly, that is going to be tested when Russia attacks one of them. How eager the rest of NATO will be to support or abandon them.
Ah, the good old 'if you don't do what we want you to do we'll nuke you' argument.

Let me know what borders for the renewed USSR you find acceptable. Should they include Poland? Maybe former East Germany or France perhaps?
It's not dishonest to point out that the syntax would have to be made more complex and that there are downsides to that. It takes 30 seconds to find a comment somewhere here on HN decrying the complexity of modern languages. None of those comments are dishonest, even if I don't agree with them.
> Since they have not changed the system, clearly the relevant decision-makers are okay with it's time wasting, right?

That assumes that the relevant decision-makers are aware of the amount of time being wasted. If people are circumventing the bureaucracy to save time it would give them a false image of how much time was being wasted.

> If all it took was mentioning to somebody with the authority to change the system "Hey, you know this is taking up too much of my time, right?", I am confident the OP would have done that first. If that's all it took at most institutions, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

When a change is implemented "this takes too much time" is a common complaint from those who don't like change (like me), the new system will always be slower until people get used to it.

How much slower is the new system and is this a problem? Decision makers need to quantify this to make informed decisions not allow their decision making process be ruled by their or their employees sentiment.
> For an example, check out the RANGE element; you will find no shortage of articles complaining about how ridiculously broken and unusable it is.

Could you shed some more light on this? I couldn't find anything from a cursory search. Looking at the W3Schools demo[0], it doesn't look too bad (other inputs set the bar really low). Is it not very friendly with styling? I hear that a lot when people talk about native browser controls.

Sure thing, buddy. Flagged as kremlinbot.
Higher property tax rates lead to lower home values. If you reduce property taxes then the house will get increasingly less affordable because the money saved on taxes is getting priced into the value of the house.

The local government will get the money in a different way so you end up paying twice.
Yes, a real disaster for us now. He didn't just "dig" through, but bulldoze to where he thought Homer's Troy should be. Doing this destroyed a lot of the evidence of the actual Troy he was looking for. Some of this has been recovered and pieced together by later and better archeologists but still a great loss.

The best video documentary I've seen on this is Michael Wood's BBC series "In Search of the Trojan War" from 1985. Six parts covering the history of the dig and the background of the war and aftermath. Much of it is on YouTube I think.
Again, go ahead and read the link I posted. You're talking about cookie consent pop-ups, those are not what the GDPR is about at all. Putting a cookie consent pop-up on your website does not make you compliant with the GDPR.

The GDPR is about protecting personal information of EU citizens, giving them rights to demand access to data that is held about them, and giving them rights to request deletion of any personal data that is held about them.

To be super clear, I'm not saying that cookie consent pop-ups are good - I also think they're not really serving any real purpose. But this fact has very little to do with the GDPR!
Whether or not NATOs expension is to antagonise Russia is less important than the question how Russian leadership sees it. And Putin's answer was pretty clear.
not gonna downvote but ...

the moment somebody attacks Europe with missiles diplomacy is over. I think we should call out all the Putin apologists in our own ranks and make sure they recuse themselves. Next we need to hit them where it hurts. Not with "a strongly worded letter" or "a frown" as we usually do in the EU but right in their money. Let's make it impossible for Russians to visit their money in Cyprus, Malta or London. Make it impossible for Russian oligarchs to strut around European capitals flashing their dirty money, anchor their yachts in the Mediterranean, or spend winters in the Swiss Alps.

Also anyone calling for diplomacy, while Russia is bombing civilian infrastructure in Europe, should have their ass handed to them and be called out for what they are: at best useful idiots, at worst propagandists.

This includes whataboutist statements like:

> a la the 2003 WMD hysteria

What we see right now is exactly the opposite. It's the effect of that fallout when we listened to the IC too much and realized the damage it caused to our credibility & foreign affairs.

What we _actually_ have now is the effect of what happens when we ignore the warnings of the IC for a whole year, a bit like the late 98/99 when we should have known that 9/11 was coming.

None of this is a surprise for anyone who has half-assedly been following Russian politics in the past 2 years, the murdering of journalists, the disappearance of an opposition media, the attempted murder and imprisonment of Navalny, the assassination attempts on people in UK and Europe.

In fact if you're Russian and not waiving an UA flag and a sign opposing these actions outside a RU embassy right now you should also be considered sus.
Why do you assume he's a rational actor? Any system that assumes rational actors is doomed to fail because humanity is not rational.
>Not to mention a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be almost trivially easy for the US to stop. It's an island, and the US has naval and air supremacy.

This was maybe true in 1996, but less so today (at least from what I've heard).

China is rapidly approaching naval parity with the US, and they have enough land-based anti-ship missiles to deny most surface vessels access to the Taiwan straight.

That's not even considering the logistical aspects of it all. Taiwan is 150km from the coast of China and 10,000km away from the coast of the US...
> you can only use them, not threaten with them

IMO this. The real reason of existence of nuclear weapons is deterrence, not actual retaliation. If you reach the point of nuclear retaliation, then you only get MAD (mutual assured destruction) and no one wins.

> For delivery, I've always wondered if it was possible to smuggle them in, say, by car. No need for a rocket or anything.

If you're interested on this possibility, a good movie I can recommend is "The Sum of All Fears" (2002).

My grandfather on my dads side refused military and got away with prison.

My grandfather on ny mothers side served and helped hold the nazis back for a few days in his home country and maybe helped some people get away. He later had to surrender and spent a short time in a POW camp before being released.

I respect both very much but I decided to do as my dad and serve.

It absolutely felt like the right thing to do for me.

Hard to get any objective evaluations, but yes - anyone who would argue against your points is too far in for conspiracy theories to argue with at all.
If you want to be historically (more) accurate, you might want to go back to Churchill's decision to extend UK power to this region of the world, in an attempt to get the UK fleet to move from coal to oil power.

You could also look at some of the responses and choices made by the people/cultures native to this region over the years since then. Yes, "cultures" is plural.

No amount of winter Olympics are going to tear label of warmonger of Russia for years to come.

Putin is not a moron, he is not impulsive. If anything he is ruthless in his cold calculations. The only logical reason for this is desperation. Putin's popularity is dwindling and more and more people are vocal about it.

Invasion of Ukraine is last ditch attempt to rally support from ussr sentiment of global power people. But this is quickly backfiring, in terms of PR it a disaster. Common people in Europe support Ukraine and the politicians probably will have easier time imposing restrictions as their own people will be ok paying the price. Remember that Putin's hope is that divided europe will not come together and will fail to react.
If you fix some issues but not others (the fact that we aren't being specific about which POSIX issues we're referring to is driving me crazy, but anyway) you have in fact improved security. The "well, if it can't be perfect, there's no point in doing anything at all" attitude is deeply pernicious, and it would be unfortunate if that is what C++ has adopted.
> I'm simply trying to see why this is happening and who really started it

Great. Do you see the missiles sent in from the territory of Russia to blow stuff up in Ukrain? Or the Russian tanks moving about in Ukraine? Or the Russian attack helicopters delivering troops to Ukraine?

It is happening because someone controlling the Russian military ordered it to happen.

If you have to twist your mind into pretzels to explain that this all happened because Russia felt so threatened that they had no other choice then have at it. There is no rational basis for that.

> entire country are the baddies and we are the goodies

That is ridiculous and nobody said anything like that in the whole thread.
> It looks like there won't be a Ukrainian government to speak of in a few days.

I don’t see why this would be true. The legitimate government doesn’t have to be in kiev to coordinate the defense of the country.
Indeed, which kind of diminishes Linus's assertions against C++ even more.
"This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules."

Ironic.
I agree with your point that "the free world" seldom lives up to the values it proclaims.

The difference might be that at least it proclaims them, and good people like yourself can hold them accountable to those values.

I think times have changed quite a bit. Poland was always thrown to the dogs before, but now it's a pretty decently respected country. It also has economic value to the EU as a whole.
He does not say that NATO expands to antagonize Russia, just that Russia will inevitably see it that way, and if the situation was reversed, where China has a military alliance at US border it would be seen the same way from the United States too.

Moreover he explicitly says that NATO/US does not want to expand to Ukraine as it is not a vital strategic interest to the United States, instead US will have to focus on Asian alliances to counter China.
Because they are old and elitist. Or at least that is the way I see the situation in Germany and the US.

There aren’t a lot of new politicians that are young or tech savvy and the people that might have thought about it probably aren’t high up enough to get the message through.

I also expect that many are still in shock that Putin did something instead of just continued threatening. I mean the biggest “menace” they had to deal with where people like Trump or Johnson, who are still a hell of a lot more “reasonable” than Putin.

Look, we are stuck on problems like, why aren’t we all rich? And, how can we not hurt each others feelings? Those are first world problems for the self obsessed that we have been chewing through endlessness and we have been chocking on a solution to both (because there probably isn’t one to either). How are our politicians who’ve had it cushy like that supposed to switch gears to ACTUAL problems over night?
> The same security concerns that America would face under similar circumstances as described

The fact that Russia cannot "make friends" without stepping on their throat explain how they think Mexico could entertain something as having a Chinese base on it and their corresponding reaction. It's how bullies justify their behaviour.

> This is a gross extrapolation

It is what is happening right now. In the same way the discourse last week was "Russia would not invade" and "they are mere military exercises in Belarus"

Thanks, I thoroughly enjoyed your reasoned example!

> starting from a non-maladaptive state of mind

This stage-setting phrase seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting. Because of course "I should not break the arm of X" is situational: under certain circumstances, such as defending yourself or something you care about, you absolutely should break the arm of an adversary if necessary.

Fully exploring the space of possible situations to find a "truth" is at least difficult and maybe impossible. I speculate that the theoretical limit you could approach is the scientific approximation described by Karl Popper, and explored by Thomas Kuhn in _Structure of Scientific Revolutions_, which means that you're never completely certain and your model is still subject to paradigm shifts. But because ethics is squishier than falsifiable scientific propositions, it will be hard to asymptotically approach that limit.

This is why a lot of the discussion about octopus farming has left me cold: many ethical propositions are being presented as absolute truths, but are almost certainly situationally incomplete. (What is sentience? What is pain? To what degree can we practically spare sentient creatures from pain? Under what circumstances does minimizing pain backfire and increase it in the end? And so on.)
> but the responsibility that the US bears on this conflict cannot be underestimated, and it is totally absent (or at least severely under-reported) from Western sources.

I find it completely overestimated. The makes it US responsibility to prevent Ukraine from considering to enter defensive act. And when US does not shut it, somehow US is responsible for Russia invading Ukraine.

US is not responsible for making sure Russia can take over Ukraine whenever they please. US is not responsible for making Russian emprire to happen.
I was contesting the definition of NATO being a "purely defensive alliance", as is often described also here on HN. For example, NATO intervention in Serbia can hardly considered defensive.

To be fair, you really shouldn't trust any information coming out of a warzone, from any source.
>His proof is fairly difficult to understand - it involves prime numbers, factorization, all this number theory.

Actually, the textbook proof itself is not very different from the presentation in this article, so not hard at all.
The difficult part is in formalizing that you can write "a program that proves a program halts".
To do so you have to encode it into the language of mathematics, and that is the painful part.

To be clear: you have the paradox of the set that contains all sets that don't contain themselves.
In naïve set theory, it is trivial to write down formally.
However the Berry paradox is not a real paradox because there is no way to encode "The smallest positive integer not definable in under sixty letters".
So the whole point of going through the encoding is to show that yes, we can encode what a provable statement, and thus the first 'paradox' is actually a crucial flaw in the mathematical theory, whereas the second is a flaw/paradox in human language, but does not mean anything.

The computer world is not as strict, it's more squishy (human?) than mathematics.
Seems like it might be the opposite?

Joining NATO won’t protect you and will just antagonize Russia. Maybe next time they’ll just try and remain neutral?

They do, I started this thread because of "...making it difficult to shoot _anything_ besides the correct target with rust.", irked me.

Lets advocate Rust yes, but not as it is flawless.
I suppose there were plenty of cultural ties between the Imperial German Army and the rise of Hitler. But for Germany to still not possess a credible defence force due to those ties is hard to justify, especially if the US no longer can be relied upon.

Personally, I don't care much whether there is a pan-EU force or national militaries (tied together by both the EU and Nato) that fills this role, but I see it is a problem if Europe lacks the strength to properly defend countries such as the Ukraine. If Putin is, through military aggression, able to eventually gain full control of the Ukrain, I expect other "leaders" with similar dispositions will try similar actions in the future.
FWIW, as a Polish twenty-something, I rather expected Russia to mellow out as it becomes more democratic over time. As of approximately the time of the Crimean invasion, that opinion has shifted a great deal.
