Not a perfect heuristic but generally speaking I don't find the neo-Nazi narrative to fit with the fact that the President is Jewish and vigorously opposes this "special operation."

There is a unit with a large number of soldiers that like to use Norse pagan imagery. Some neo-Nazis also use Norse pagan imagery. So... it isn't impossible that there are some. However, a kernel of truth in a lie doesn't mean the whole thing is true; on the contrary, that's what makes a good lie.
“If you lose the electrical power, the pathogens in the freezers warm up,” he said. “If the ventilation system is damaged, or the building itself is damaged, and these now ambient-temperature pathogens are able to escape the facility, then they can be potentially infectious in the region around the facility.”
Hey, that's awesome! I stand corrected.
India and Pakistan went to a war(although localized one) after they were nuclear powers. I think as long as you give the other side a way to back out, nuclear war is not likely.
Ok, so a single nuke gets dropped on NYC or LA. Just the one. And Europe stands back and says: "Well, unfortunately we'll let them burn, because otherwise Putin might do the same to us." What would you make of that?

Ukraine minister says it's recruiting IT specialists from other countries
You want to talk about what aboutism and propaganda? Right this very moment, there are more than 5 active conflicts going on. Myanmar, South Sudan, Syria, Mali, Lydia. Yet the only reason we seem to care about Ukraine so much is because somehow our American media has convinced us it’s the Democracy that’s at stake. Talk about propaganda. Go figure!
Configuration files are such a useful thing to start with - I remember one of my most productive changes was to hack on a local copy of mutt:

* If the configuration file had mode 0755 then execute it, and parse the output.

* Otherwise read as-is.

That was my solution to writing a complex configuration file, which behaved differently upon different hosts - write the thing in perl, and have it "print" blocks and configuration values appropriately.

This looks lovely, well done! Regarding the cut off, why not use:

min-width: 1199px;
overflow-x: scroll;

on the <body> element, and change the 100vw on the 'css-obv7rs' element to 100%? (And you may need some more tinkering, but you get the general idea.)

You can still put a mobile popup there ("this has been designed for a desktop"), but mobile users can pan around if they wish - degraded experience, but can use if they're desperate.
This is incredibly naive. The only non-naive thing is that it is proportional to ΔT, which is simple Physics. I don’t know why you need to quote building science here.

For non naive calculation, one would expect using real world data to estimate the actual weighted average.

I mean it is ok to have a naive guesstimate, or to sound better, a Fermi estimate. But for order of magnitude guesstimate, just use 1 sig fig to convey you really don’t have that much confidence.

Also I think while providing a ratio is technically answering the question, but people probably expect the absolute scale, in terms of $ or may be a ratio comparing to annual spending (given a country.)

I think in short this is not a simple question and we should not pretend it to have simple answer.

First of all, the policy is Ukrainian one, the Poles are taking in practically everybody with an Ukrainian passport, it would be inhumane no to do so.

But Ukrainians are understandable too, and some men are allowed to leave. On the other hand, there are also some returning home from Poland. Imagine you went to Poland in order to provide for your family and your family is left at home. There are many cases like this. In such a situation going back is often the only option - staying away would only cause constant suffering with you being anxious if your wife and kids are safe at that moment or not, and frantically reading all reports of bombing and civilian casualties.
It's a fascinating piece of machinery. Antonov Airlines was a very clever way by Antonov to use and promote their heavy duty cargo aircraft ( the An-124, on which the 225 is based, is also pretty big, and the smaller planes can land pretty much on anything as long as it's flat).
It's pretty simple actually: Putin claims that they are sending "peace troops", because some rebels took over the pro-Russian government and installed a pro-EU government. Against the will of the people.

If that is the case, why are all these Ukrainians giving such a huge fight against the Russian "liberators"?

And another thing: Putin claims that Ukrainians are committing attacks against the Russian minorities in Ukraine. Guess what the 1st language of the Ukrainian president is? It's not Ukrainian, it's Russian!
So - these are 1000 people you're talking about. You're saying that because of these 1000 people it's OK to invade a nation of 44 million people. And kill hundreds. Check notes Nope, still doesn't make sense.
Yes.

If you look at the sample data section, you’ll see an example of the data they’re using.

It’s mainly to parse and work with json data that’s stored.
In case of PostgreSQL there is json and jsonb. For SQLite, hexdump of the database shows text representation and seems to be stored like json than jsonb. I am not aware of the full design and source code but it seems some functions parse and cache the JSON representation.

https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/a0318fd7b4fbedbce74f13...

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-json.html

> The json and jsonb data types accept almost identical sets of values as input. The major practical difference is one of efficiency. The json data type stores an exact copy of the input text, which processing functions must reparse on each execution; while jsonb data is stored in a decomposed binary format that makes it slightly slower to input due to added conversion overhead, but significantly faster to process, since no reparsing is needed. jsonb also supports indexing, which can be a significant advantage.
1. Yes, I’ve been working on generalizing the Lunar specific code for open sourcing it next month. Still WIP because I’m still getting busy with new monitor edge cases.

Last month I’ve also found out about Keygen (https://keygen.sh/) which has a really nice offering, and I would have probably chosen it instead of building my own solution if I’d known about it. I’m concerned about uptime with my own solution, I don’t have the means to provide enough redundancy in case of a network or data center failure.

2. I’m earning about $3.5k per month on Lunar Pro licenses (on average, some months can be 5-6k, some 2k). Doing quality macOS apps is a nice market to be in. You get to do tools for your own usage and also share them with others for some side revenue.

I’ve also created The low-tech guys (https://lowtechguys.com/) and each new app published there is also bringing about $200-$600 per month.

Little by little, I’m hoping to get to a continuous revenue of $8k per month so I can build a home for my family and have more time to pursue my other hobbies (woodworking: https://reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/t1l4rk/_/hyhvjix/?context=...) and (instrumental music: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/Dv8AT2JgNWrzFtLa8)
I was fortunate enough to have two Cybiko classics. Those were the only two I ever saw in my life. I remember a program on Windows that allowed me to use AIM wirelessly from one Cybiko, with the other connected to the PC with the AIM client. I only used that for a couple of hours. I don't remember the details, but it wasn't very practical. It was still freaking awesome.
Supplies won't hinder Russia to invade Lviv.

Morale and coordinated action of the Ukrainian army are needed for that. Remember that the Ukrainian army is rather young. They started mobilization this week. Russia has years of fighting experience, not alone from Syria. I certainly sympathize with Ukraine, but I am not convinced that they can stop the massively stronger aggressor.

Edit: Russian troops are not very efficient and morale might be questionable in some parts. But Putin does not care how many of them die. He has hundreds of thousands more.

You don't hold a Starlink dish to your ear, instead you place the thing in some unobstructed area and connect to it through (long-range) Wifi. If the dish draws in a missile that's a net-loss for the aggressor since that missile will cost a lot more than the dish.
Also what I have heard from media is that the parts of the country that actually get cold with lot of snow for longer periods in winter do have all of the modern insulation and so on.

I think this is what people talk about when they refer to the hypocrisy.
The same arguments could be applied to almost any field of research. If you get to spend your time doing something that gives you pleasure and challenges you, then it's worth that time. If it results in something that is also of use to others, all the better. There are countless examples in history of how people have worked on something, often despite lack of understanding or even rejection by others, and that very work later became very relevant, often many decades later. You could have spent the same amount of time watching TV instead of writing a programming language. Wouldn't you have found that an "utter waste of time" as well?

Wirth was even more drastic in what concerns writing bootstraped compilers.

I don't recall in what paper from him I have read this, so take the story with a grain of salt, also open to corrections.

He actually wrote the initial version of the compiler directly in Pascal.

How did he perform such thing, one would ask.

By writing it on paper using a Pascal subset good enough as stage 0, and then manually compiling the source code into corresponding Assembly instructions that he would then actually type into the cards.

So when he finally got the compiler done, it was already bootstrapped from the get go.

Additionally, P-Code originally wasn't designed to be an interpreter, rather to repeat the above process in an easier way across computer systems.

He was initially surprised that others took it to write Pascal interpreters instead of a bootstrapping tool.

I just find it a bit ironic (in a very sad way) that Germany and Russia switched places with regard to what happened ~80 years ago.

My brainwashed Russian relatives think that their army is there to "protect" the population from the "modern Nazi", all the while not being able to see that their self-appointed czar is the actual Nazi (which I don't think is an exaggeration anymore).
No, that's backwards. On low difficulty you can indeed force a strategy chosen in advance, but as the game gets more difficult you need to make choices that trade off the late-game power of your deck against the needs right now (so you can get to the late game at all)

Then please educate us, what is the valid reason for Russia to invade Ukraine?

"It's not an invasion" is pretty weak when you annexed Crimea, and declared 2 Ukrainian regions as "separate states".

The borders of Ukraine are pretty well set, so please explain why Russians have a right to shift these borders in their advantage? And how shifting borders is a "short term special operation".

Peter Thiel once said something along the lines that nobody is against aging research, because in practice what you’re solving for are problems everybody wants cures for, like Alzheimer’s, cancer, Parkinson’s, etc.

I often think about that quote because aging is such an intractably hard problem, we’ve sort of collectively rationalized it as something “good”. You see it in many religious traditions. In the zeitgeist. That somehow death gives life meaning. Makes it good.

But I’ve never found anybody who thinks cancer is a good thing. Nobody sane at least.

I’ve thought for a while now that every philosophy problem is in some sense, just a health problem waiting to be solved.

Occasionally I think about the Bible too and the way Christ (regardless of your religious beliefs) upended this tradition of rationalizing death as good. There’s a line in the Bible that’s the shortest verse in the English version: “Jesus wept.” And he was weeping for Lazarus, a man who died (who he could bring back to life effortlessly); in some sense a true condemnation of death as evil. Something even a god would weep over.

I think about the future often too; the way immortality will finally be achieved. There’s so many complications when it comes to aging, and so much we don’t know about the human body, I wonder whether humans will be involved at all; whether machines will silently develop cures while our bodies lie in a metal tomb, explaining to us what happened afterwards in terms we can understand.

I think it’ll happen someday. But I don’t know if it’ll be a year or 100 years from now.

I certainly hope it’s soon. Some days I feel like I’m at the edge of an eternal history.

One thing Apple had was the political ability to iterate on the design. Remember that the original iphone had no apps, and no mobile data.

That made it look like an odd duck in the sea of computerphones, but what it had was a slick user interface completely designed around the capabilities of capacitive screens, and that took many years for the competition to even get close to.

Good user interfaces are truly hard, and Apple has always put it front and center, so it must have made sense for them.
Oh crap. I hadn't really thought about the ramifications for global cargo besides the direct losses of the 225 and some 124s - of course with Antonov the company incapacitated, all their aircraft ( even without talking about the huge ones, the smaller ones are heavily used in Africa) will have to be grounded eventually due to lack of spares. (Maybe, just maybe, Russian companies that used to collaborate with them could be able to chip in, but it's not really an option at the moment)

As you say, it really is so conversational and easy to follow. Starting with integration works really well, you build lots of sums and then use a supremum/infimum as opposed to a limit. I think the mental imagery for that is a lot more manageable than limits, especially if its your first time watching infinities disappear.
Ruchir is right about Yugoslavia. Western powers exploited fault-lines to dismember the country and create client states. By denying that we have a common history and civilization, by claiming that Hinduism is not a single religion, and by claiming that India was an invention of the British, the same thing is being attempted against us.

Nationalist politicians in India don't understand the importance of securing the courts and academia against infiltration from and the influence of those who aim to dismember India. Children have been fed lies about the history of their country and civilization based on books written by political activists pretending to be historians and scientists.

Indian courts and academic institutions must be reorganized in a deliberate manner to operate based on the principles and thoughts of Indian civilization and not foreign caricatures and lies about us and our history.
