I am mainly a vegetarian, although I will eat ethically raised eggs and dairy products. I grew up in farm country and will also, on a very rare occasion, eat cattle raised on a proper farm/ranch - even though I absolutely love cows, who can be extremely affectionate, I believe they can be slaughtered relatively humanely.

Cephalopods, on the other hand, are extremely difficult to farm in the wild or cull. They show immense and immediate signs of stress, such as attacking others or themselves, going as far to tear off limbs or kill others/commit suicide. I've never seen a cow, when properly taken through the slaughter process (such as using processes innovated by Temple Grandin), express anywhere near that level of despondent agony prior to their death, which is thankfully nearly instantaneous when done properly. The intense response by octopi to their impending slaughter shows me a level of emotion and intelligence that is eerily close to our own.
I agree, so many ways to do it it’s horses for courses.

Eg from the first “pick” you could press * to highlight occurrences and move to the next one use cw to change it to “s” and bounce on n to move to the next one you to squash and use . to repeat the change.

That’s visual and lets you decide which commits to squash.

If I wanted to squash all the other commits I’d probably use visual block and } instead, but that’s just me.

I’d save a macro for more complex edits.
It is important to remember that there were two Iraq wars, that the first was aiming at the wrong party (Iraq had no hand in 9/11), and that the second was based on either faulty or fabricated intelligence.
No one said the US has never interfered in an election.

But in this case, the commenter suggests that the US was already attempting to overthrow the Ukrainian government?? That’s complete conspiracy and certainly deserves a downvote. Not only is there no evidence to support the claim, it doesn’t even fit anyone’s narratives (except perhaps Russia’s) about US/Ukrainian relationships. It just doesn’t make any sense in relation to US politics, especially considering the current leadership was elected in a landslide and is already relatively pro-EU/pro-NATO.

Compare to, say, Iraq, and you can see how that would fit into US politics much better.

Is it outside of the realm of possibilities? Of course not, but at least provide some kind of theory or narrative and phrase it as conjecture instead of just tossing it out as a conspiracy.
It doesn’t matter if tyrants are democratically elected. And he was a tyrant, indiscriminately slaughtering protesters.

Once you are violating human dignity and human rights in such an obvious way you are in no way a legitimate leader. Election victories can never be a justification for blatant human rights violations.

(This doesn’t even touch on whether the election was legitimate in the first place.)

Also, whataboutism isn’t very helpful in the current situation. It’s a pointless distraction and doesn’t make anything Putin does currently any less wrong. In general, whataboutism is just so incredibly unhelpful and pointless. It’s extremely dumb (or extremely clever in an evil way if you have an agenda).

(This is dangerously close to whataboutism, but just another point: you mention the EU removing him, however as far as I can tell there was no EU involved in his removal.)
Why do you think sanctions will have this stimulating effect among the Russian people when they've done the opposite in Iraq and North Korea? Practically speaking, is there something the Western world should do differently this time around? I'm keen to hear the implementation details, because without them, we're actually just speaking out of bloodlust here.
But, as said, for it to work you have to set up yet another package manager which will works against the systems package manager, leading to out of date packages and probably broken dependencies. Rust already has a working system that will put binaries to a standardized place that will properly integrate.
>Outside of Russian propaganda, it's just “Ukraine” not “the Ukraine”.

That is false.

Yes, it doesn't make sense. Nobody made Russia the caretaker of all Slavs.
Even if that _was_ true: From your neighbor's point of view, why can't the USA and Russia both be "the bad guys"? This argument can in no way be used to justify Putin's actions. And it's bullshit, but I wouldn't discuss this with an anti-american person.
I think the "missiles on civilians" narrative has been exaggerated.

There are up to 10 civilian casualties so far, so it would have been easier to die of covid or even pollution than bombs in Ukraine in the past 2 days.
> Wouldn't the U.S., too, consider military intervention if a direct neighbor country of the U.S. was preparing to essentially become a base for Russian missiles?

Not comparable examples, because no-one's parking missiles in Ukraine. The goal of Ukraine's NATO membership is to obtain a political deterrence against Russian invasion.

Eastern European countries so far have no missiles, and not even any meaningful presence of foreign troops after 20 years of membership.

Russian propaganda has sidetracked everyone into talking about Russian security when Russia has been the main agressor in the region for the longest time. What about everyone else, don't they deserve the same considerations? Why must we accept Russian wars on peaceful countries in Europe and yet defense cooperation with their victims is frowned upon? Isn't it a bit insane?
Well, I’ve heard of the Russian invasion of the Ukraine yesterday from HN, same with Kyiv. I’ve got HN open at work and refresh it when I need to think so HN might be more relative for world news than you think.

There also once was an article by a guy that said he only reads the Financial Times Sunday Edition, because what makes it in there is important enough to take note of. Same holds true here.

Besides, isn’t the question about why they are not using social media a question better asked here on HN?
I really wonder how much these changes, especially seeing the numbers (4%, 5%), add up at scale. For example, from reading a comment on Hacker News[0], I'm told that small changes can save companies millions and millions on servers. It saves power, too.

I don't think you should be downvoted for saying what you said, but I feel that you missed the point my comment was trying to make.

My point is: the dog whistle/modern meme is basically a reference to Spengler and others, because their ideologies align relatively well with the patchwork of neo-fascist ideas. That's what they hint to and promote. That's why I explicitly mentioned Spengler and the 20th century. Lot of other people developed some form of a cyclical history but that's not really relevant here.
The current vaccines would have never "stopped" the pandemic as is anyway, regardless of mandates or swaying the public opinion.

It's showing that the halting problem is unsolvable, using an infinite recursive loop as an example. The halting problem is related to the incompleteness theorem.

Yes, the timing is very bad. It would be good to read Patreon's comments on this.

I just hope it's not a fear of Russian's hackers.
China would have to decide whether to risk their relationships with the rest of the world though. Russia's economy isn't that strong, so it wouldn't really be a big financial benefit compared to, say, all of Europe and the US.

What might be a compelling argument is that China gets a lot more influence in Russia, e.g. the space to move in there and exploit Russia's natural resources. But they need to make the tradeoff whether that's worth it.

China may get sanctioned, taxed, and generally lose reputation if they help Russia mitigate the effects of international sanctions.
Great tool thanks! I'll try to catch the livestream !

One thing that would be great to smoothen my use-case is a better resize support. I generally have a bunch of terminals on a screen, and switch to full screen when needed. Currently, the drawing region does not update.
While I think that’s true to some extend, I have the feeling that Afghanistan is regressing now, which means that it must’ve arguably been better than it was before. at least for some half of the population.

You can certainly question whether that was worth the cost.
I don't think the Romanian population of the 80s cared about the cold war. In a time when leader worship propaganda was at its peak (thanks North Korea for inspiring Ceausescu), food scarcity, decaying state services/infrastructure, and dissent suppression in full force.

> or witness it being used against a nearby country are prone to being blue-eyed in that way.

I agree, awareness and proximity to direct effects give you a different perspective.

Based on my experience, I can tell you that those 90s kids are having second thoughts on the EU&West this time around. Might be Russian propaganda derived, but EU skepticism is on the rise in that same age group, especially for those that live in the country.
Oh yes, I almost forgot the "Coalition of the Willing" against the "Axis of Evil". Still sounds like straight of a Marvel movie. Including the Mission Accomplished speak on a carrier, also that part is more like Michael Bay.
Russia's backyard?!?

You can't imagine how angry this makes me.

Russia is twice the size of the US. Their direct "sphere of influence" was three times the size of the US.

Romania, for example, never wanted to have anything to do with Russia, yet here we are 2500+ kms away from the Russian heartland, stressing out about this stuff, because apparently it's "Russia's backyard". We've been here 2000+ years, it's <<our>> backyard. The same goes for many of the countries next to Russia.

And modern Russia, just like the USSR, is highly interventionist. Who do you think is propping up the Assads? Or was propping up Marxist militias in Latin America and in Africa?
But we may be able to topple Putin in a year if we stopped buying Russian fossil fuels immediately - the Russian economy would crash rather quickly.
I don't have any problems with macros but I still don't get traits & trait objects. The combination of weird syntax, error messages and unexpected limitations confuses me every time. I'm getting the impression that abstraction isn't quite my thing.

Luckily there's still enums. Not as flexible but they make sense to me and don't sprinkle annotation boilerplate everywhere.
"being tough on Russia" is very far from "aggressively rallying for war with Russia".

> How do you defend against this?

You can ask how effective the US's invasion was; they spent two TRILLION in various wars in the middle east, I don't believe for a second the oil was worth it, and (from a distant armchair observation) the US had no lasting effects in their favor in the middle east; they've instead made a generation of people growing up under the Americans pissed off. To the point where I wouldn't be surprised if Russia makes a move south again.

It's more or less the same argument. They key additional ingredient in Godel's proof (besides some slight technicality on soundness vs. omega-consistency) is the encoding of an arithmetic interpreter inside of arithmetic itself. That a bash script can run and capture the output of another bash script is pretty obvious, but the first order logic analogue is not nearly as neat and easy.

The argument given here is a modern translation of Turing's work in his original paper introducing Turing Machines and the Halting problem, in which he devotes an entire section to the connection between his proof and that of Godel.

What about `wget` then? (wiki* + get)
I know almost nothing about cargo since I don't do rust, but if it works as you say, integrating with the system's packages, you are more likely to end up with broken dependencies.

Brew keeps it's packages separate, so breaking is less likely.
More or less. They overthrew Gadaffi, but the country tore itself apart.

I’m all for blaming the US where it’s warranted, but I don’t think that particular instance is it.
During the cold war, the Soviet Union was the only threat. Present day Russia is merely the second most dangerous threat facing the free world. China is becoming a much more potent economic as well as military power.

This means that this time, Europe need to realize they have to be able to defend against an increasingly aggressive Russia _without_ significant US support, and may even have to have strength to spare to aid vs China. In other words, countries like Germany need to have military strength at least at the level they had during the cold war to do their part in providing safety and stability to Europe.

If this doesn't happen, I think Germany must expect that more and more countries in the area develops their own nukes, as that is the only alternative way to deter a power like Russia. How will Germany feel if Poland, Hungary, Rumania, Greece and Turkey suddenly all had their own nukes?
When other countries join US adventures, it's not because of the NATO defense pact.
They've been dead for many years now.

You tell me what life was like as a vassal state of Russia.

Opinion on life during communism is very much a mixed bag. Depends who you ask. I don't know why people keep painting Romanian communism as a black&white kind of issue.
Your first response is very respectful and much appreciated. As for this comment, you have a fair point. I don't doubt that if you ask Ukrainians right now, they will say that Russia is 10x worse than the USA, and they would be correct. Looking at the big picture, all current superpowers are genocidal power hungry tyrants, to various degrees.
I still don't get how they expect this to happen for services such as social networks or really anything with some kind of community features. The whole point is that everyone can share stuff and access each other's data. Separating the data of EU users into their own version of it significantly reduces the value of the service in the EU.

Of course, moving _all_ data processing to the EU could be a solution, but there are still no real competitors to the large US based cloud providers.

It’s just me but I think it’s still worth knowing the abbreviations just in case you want to type them.

Personally I try to avoid mappings as much as makes sense.

So I’d use

:noh

to clear highlighting instead of making a nohighlight mapping for it.

Simply because it’s still quick to type from muscle memory and more portable. I also find them easier to remember than custom mappings.
You can create a hierarchy of "journals" (a collection of documents, like a folder) and use tags across all journals or have per-journal tags. It's totally up to you how you organize it. You can also set a status on a document such as "on hold", "completed", "active" etc so you can see -- at a glance -- what you're working on. It's literally the best 4 bucks a month I could spend.
Serbia is not a part of Russia. It wasn't even in Soviet Union. Yugoslavia was an independent country.

Tonga volcano: Internet restored five weeks after eruption

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-60458303
"Cyclical history" as theorized by Spengler and others during the 20th century is a whole set of bullshit. That's what my comments are explicitly about, I don't understand how people can miss this.
AFAIK like in Latvia - these people (mostly russians) had (and still have) 3 choices: go back to russia, apply for citizenship or be left as "non-citizen".

If after ~30 years after break-up of USSR you have not gone back to russia (because quality of life in Estonia or Latvia is probably better), or have not learned the language or do not want to pledge loyalty to the country - then such person is a problem to itself. My social anecdotal bubble tells me that most of such people are very pro-soviet-union, but somehow idea of moving back to "mother russia" scares them.

Also in most post-soviet states russian communities can live all their lives without learning local language, i.e. there are native-russian kindergartens, schools, even university programs, russian entertainment and they can expect and be able to communicate almost everywhere in russian. So where's the bad treatment?

Putin's propaganda machine will make shit up on the spot - treatment of russian speaking communities is one of them. Maybe you also believe that there's fascist junta in Ukraine or Estonia? russian troll industry are masters of fake news - that will flood everything with multiple bullshit statements.
Have you tried not hinting? I don’t mean tell them to fuck off and die or anything, make it tactful of course. Lotta people out there who don’t notice your hints or will even actively ignore them if they’re only hints.

Sounds like you got what you wanted when you stopped hinting. Don’t hint, say!

Trying the same thing over expecting different results etc etc is madness etc

I'm struggling in blog monetization. I have around 2000 page views per day and AdSense is enabled. The revenue per day is something around 0.15$ which is nothing. Any advise or support is highly appreciated.
I may be wrong, but if I understand correctly what you just wrote, you believe that Ukraine is part of NATO. To clarify: it isn't. Putin claims that it might some day join NATO, and that this somehow justifies a pre-emptive invasion, but that's very different.
Yeah objectivity is a subtle idea right now.

We need a plan now.

From the operations perspective, SQL Server is definitely way better that Postgres - monitoring is such a pain point in Postgres, for example. From application development/feature perspective, it's much closer, and server-side programming in Postgres (if that's what you like/need) is simply better that in SQL Server.

More likely our NSA is only working when they can cover their tracks. Possibly by giving Ukrainian intelligence credit for their actions.
First of all, German military capacity can be at least doubled, maybe tripled within that treaty, and second, if other nato countries don't object, they can probably claim that treaty null and void after Russia violates Ukrainian independence.
I am surprised this is the top comment. Not that it's not well argued but what seems to imply of the reading by most of the current situation.

The joke of sanctions implemented by the EU and the US, and they are a joke, since EU continues to import gas from Russia, and SWIFT use continues by the Russian Federation, is a symptom of the same attitude seen on many Ukraine residents just 48 hours ago.

A kind of cognitive disconnect between the obvious war coming your way, and a refusal to accept it, until it is at your door.

You have a ex-president of the United States openly praising the Russian president on the media, and also US TV networks openly doing the treasonous job of promoting Russian views in the US. If the Russian army quickly overtakes Ukraine you have Russian troops staring across the border to Polish troops. Some of the small countries that are now members of NATO, still have small pockets of Russian speaking communities. You think Russia will not claim they are also being discriminated and need another peace keeping operation?

In case of a conflict between Russia and a NATO member, it's mushroom clouds we are looking into. So I find your legalistic concerns incredibly detached from the seriousness of the current situation.
This doesn't seem right. The location of processing is irrelevant. As long as the servers are owned by a US based company, they can theoretically be forced to spy on the users without being able to disclose that they are. Isn't that the main argument?
"Germany and France are the main 'providers' in the EU, kinda like California, Texas, New York in the US. They have to pay more if they admit a big poor country like Ukraine"

It was about NATO, not EU membership.
It's such a disgrace they use CO2. The one gas that the body can detect and percieve as danger and do anything to avoid and get rid of. They use it only because it's cheap.

They could have used argon, helium, maybe even nitrogen. Anything else that can lower oxygen concentration without the body noticing bacause it doesn't detect low oxygen levels, just high CO2 levels when you suffocate.

The jury is still out which gas is the best. I hope it'll be resolved before it's my time to go.
I wrote a bit about this:

https://jacquesmattheij.com/a-western-kid-living-in-communis...

Imagine your friends informing on you to the secret police either because of ideological reasons, or simply because they want to get ahead in life and you're a convenient stepping stone.

Imagine empty stores.

Imagine family members taken in for 'questioning' never to be heard from again.

Imagine winters without fuel.

And so on...

Really, the life in the countries that were plundered to power the failing economy of the USSR was pretty harsh, especially if you were smart and not part of the party.

FWIW I love Romania, have lived in Bucharest for two years and have friends and family there. Enjoy your freedom, it was paid for in blood.
You have to keep in mind that having easy access to meat without hunting is a recent thing relative to history.
Putin did ask to join NATO in early 2000s, was laughed out of the room.
What makes you think that? Are we discussing "Understanding the War in Ukraine" or calling each other names?

I'm not support this war in any sense. But at least I understand the reasons behind it.

I'm actually not awared of any sign of genocide from russians to ukranians (and vice verse). If you do, plese enlight me.
