What you're describing would still suffer from the same "catch-up" problem though, assuming the same control software.

It's worth noting later versions of YCC-T are servo-actuated using a single throttle shaft. This early version was probably just something slapped on at the last minute using off-the-shelf components, and they didn't refine the control software enough to do things like at least resync the logical servo position with the cable throttle position when the rider has started closing the throttle from an overshoot position. It was just a very naive rate-limiting filter of sorts where the servo is continuously chasing the actual throttle's instantaneous position.

The experience occasionally resembled a laggy high boost turbo car where tq keeps increasing despite a shrinking throttle open %. Kind of amusing in a car, Tesla FSD levels of idiotic on a ~1000hp/ton bike.
There are LNG terminals in Italy, France, Belgium, Netherlands and LNG import have increased to balanced the natural gas supplied from Russia. The article below shows that at the beginning of 2022 the European gas import from Russia were 39 % down against beginning of 2021.

It's almost as if you don't comprehend that Syria is a theatre that contains both the US and Russia who both have nukes. Ukraine does not have nukes. In Ukraine, there is only Russia and Ukranians. In Syria, we have at least Turkey, the US and Russia all engaged in direct combat with at least a dozen NATO countries having troops stationed there.

The rebels in Syria can't destroy the planet with nukes... and neither can the rebels in Ukraine. The conflict in Syria has a higher likelihood of pulling in NATO members considering NATO is already in Syria, with Russia, the US and Turkey all engaging in direct combat there.

> Quite literally, this single act of Russia's could have the potential result of turning entire planet into ash, or dragging 100 countries to war, or seeing a new empire carved out.

Except none of that is true. You know, because Ukraine is not a part of NATO and there are literally no NATO forces in Ukraine?

It's funny how you seem to ignore that NATO nations are already engaged in war with Russia's proxies in Syria -- in some cases seeing direct confrontation -- but somehow Ukraine is the one that matters. But it's not about race.

> This invasion, this single act, could result in billions dying.

The single act being invading a country filled with fair skinned Caucasians, you mean.

> But sure, it's all just about race.

Considering the pearl clutchers happily armed the rebels in Syria and supported its partition, and are now crying doom and gloom when Russia does the same in Ukraine, then it is about race.

Let me know when the Polaks on the far right start kicking up a stink about the European refugees about to enter the country and you'll hopefully start to see it's all about ethnicity.

If I lived in Europe I wouldn't care.

Is the risk to minimize total casualties (military and civilian, injury and death) or to repel an invading force? Because it's very likely that if your goal is the latter, putting a gun in everyone's hand regardless of their skill with it might be the best course of action.
Very unlikely NATO (overall) would get involved even if there are serious atrocities. That’ts a fast path to nuclear war.

They’ll fortify heavily and the moment any Russian steps onto NATO member soil, they’ll be repelled though.

NATO is about mutual self defense, not invasion. Ukraine is caught in the middle between Russia and NATO.

One key to success in military operations is tempo. Armed defenders using guerrilla tactics disrupt an attacker's tempo. Every minute a platoon of soldiers hesitates crossing a street or gets bogged down clearing a building is a minute closer to sunset, a minute more of vehicles burning fuel, a minute longer for defenders to get reinforcements, and more stress and fatigue on the whole unit.

An attacking force doesn't have infinite resources to attack indefinitely. A mechanized force that runs out of fuel is extremely vulnerable. Those extra minutes burning gas not being able to push forward add up.
Tools like this allow you to keep a single desired schema up to date and then auto-generate commands to move from the current database state to desired state. So instead of manually writing 'alter table foo rename column bar to baz', you just change the column name in the 'create table' section of your golden schema and generate the alter statement.

> optimism for minimized civilian targets was mistaken

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/26/kyiv-residential-to...

This is clearly not a target. And if you ever had seen the damage from the cruise missile (hint - look at two previous days with tons of footage of Kalibr hitting intended targets) you would clearly see what this is definitely not the amount of damage a proper missile would deliver. More so, given the position and direction there is a pretty high chance what it was an AA missile from the Ukrainian side.

Anyway, it is amusing how when anything happens which involves Russia it is killing intent and war crimes immediately, without even an attempt to reason it with a common sense.

Can't say anything on the second link, though it is very little damage for a cluster munition.
Allowed? Maybe, maybe not.

Helpful? Extremely not.

I just ran this on my high-end M1 Max, and it rendered 2 frames in roughly 3 minutes.

Hardware-accurate emulation is, generally speaking, not fast emulation.
Same here. I don't use Clojure because it's niche, I use it because it's the programming language I'm the most efficient in (even though years-wise, I have the least Clojure experience compared to other languages), build the most bug-free software with that has acceptable performance and because as you said, it finally makes writing software fun again.

I think Clojure's niche-ness is a hidden strength as well, as the community is so strong and knowledgeable that you get very good help when you need it, from all angles. It's been a pleasure to use Clojure and interact with the community, even though the language is effectively built by one person instead of a committee (which, I think is another one of Clojure's strength [but not so hidden]).
Closure is awesome, but I wouldn’t define it as niche.
Programming in niche languages can be fun and be a relief from drudgery at the day job. Mainstream languages are not bad of course. Many of them are great. But the requirement to be reliable and production-ready greatly restricts the diversion of tools one can choose to play with.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 in premium condition that is definitely 4G capable but I received a letter from Verizon stating it would cease to be able to make phone calls or send text messages sometime before the end-of-the-year.
In the wake of Log4shell I've spent some time thinking about how we can streamline the recovery from such large bugs. I suspect a lot of eyes are on this area now. Do y'all have any plans here? Figuring out what services are impacted by tracking the container images they use, the language runtimes in those images, the packages installed in each language runtime, that sort of thing. Currently this is all a huge manual, often spreadsheet-driven process.
I converted my (profitable) side-project to Elixir because I fell in love with the language. While I still like it, that has mostly worn off and I regret rewriting it for the most part.

> Ukraina has been living with the threat of war for a while now.

It was known since at least 2005
It's not clear if it helps in the long run, it probably does but a lot of friendly fire should be expected. Just recent example where Ukrainian anti aircraft units were taken for Russians and killed in Kyiv (the one where strela 10 vehicle collided with a car under fire) shows the danger.
People in Russia will see less propaganda and hopefully will go on the streets. They are misinformed there and don't even know there are war in Ukraine.

In terms of hardware Facebook has had great success with the Oculus headsets.

I was thinking about getting a VR headset to support software development, Oculus headsets are not the best but they are very good and probably 60% of the cost of what I'd want to buy. (No Oculus for me though because I nuked my Facebook account.)

In terms of software it's a different story. Horizon Worlds is the VR environment that Facebook advertised on the Superbowl and is about as much fun as watching paint dry.
I don't think it'll develop into "lebensraum" for the simple reason that Russia doesn't have a shortage of land - on the contrary, it has a shortage of people to develop the land that it already has. Far East and Siberia offer a vast frontier for expansion, and will continue to do so for many decades to come.

What Russia is doing is reassembling its historical empire - and this is an ideological goal, not an economic one. But if it does that, it'll also want Eastern Europe as a buffer, for the same exact reason Soviets did.

The main reason why I brought up 1938 is not because I think that Russia is ideologically similar to the Nazis here, but rather that the immediate consequences will be similar to what happened back then: if Russia is allowed to invade and occupy Ukraine, it has a long list of other territories it has issues with, and there's no clear reason why it shouldn't just keep ticking things off it.
Well in a sense, yes. There are uncountable videos of MLRS (Multiple-Launch rocket system) strikes, and by the nature of them, those are basically carpet bombing. While not actual bombs dropped from bombers, these rockets are meant to to destroy a large area of surface, not discriminating between soldiers and civilians, just like carpet bombing. Putin and is commiting war crimes every minute of this unjustified war he is forcing upon Europe. Keep in mind you have to separate the Russian people from Putin and also separate Russian Forces functionaries and High Command from the low ranks that are sent to their death, often just 18-20 years old and basically without any combat training. Truly a tragic war, while not unexpected or suprising, this is shattering the piece and fundamentals of democracy, international law and human rights. Don't let Putin get away with this atrocity, he needs to feel justice in the form of painful death!
Would a listserv be appropriate?

Depends on your use case: synchronicity, volume of messages, etc.
Why would Putin talk to some random guy in the middle of the Ukraine war?
Wouldn't they just target the building with a cruise middle these days?
Not OP, but I'd write it like that for rhetorical effect. It becomes even more dramatic if written as "4 (four!)".
The main use case I found was that my production database had a bunch of changes we did manually (early stage startup and all), so I used Migra to figure out what changes we needed to make to keep the migrations in sync with what was actually in production.

The more common use case is this idea in development—-experiment with different schemas manually and then use a tool like Migra to figure out what migration to write, without keeping in your head what changes you’ve made.
Replying to my own comment:

I just listened to the Zuckerberg interview. It got so much better in the last third when both of them seemed more relaxed. Too bad they didn’t break through to something more like friendship earlier. I have never seen Zuckerberg look so relaxed as in the last 20 minutes.
I always just download a .zip. Never understood using the whole "git clone" thing when I just want to look at the repo without participating in development.
It is not about trucks. If you've been paying attention, you saw that they just went for Kyiv and didn't bother capturing cities or territory, which left their supply lines VERY vulnerable to the Ukrainian army. And they didn't think that the operation will be longer than a couple of days, so didn't bother to take many supplies with them. They drastically underestimated the Ukrainian army and the Ukrainian people's will to fight.
I still think it's absolutely insane that for aviation we require everything to be formally verified, while cars don't have any such thing and can brick themselves via over-the-air updates at any time.

And that ignores the even more complex problem of self-driving which is something even aviation, which has a lot less opportunities for external errors, doesn't even try to tackle.
Trump would be the closest to do that, just look at the rhetoric from the North Korea crisis in 2017:

> At 20°C I am uncomfortable. Extra clothing doesn't help [...] I usually have to stop and take a hot shower in the middle of the day to get back to some semblance of comfort

I wonder how many people feel that way. I've never heard of anyone having to take a hot shower to keep warm in a 20°C room no matter the clothing. I wonder if it's just a taboo, something that simply doesn't come up, or if this happens to one in a thousand.

As for tall and slim, I'm also Dutch so I imagine I'd have heard of this more than zero times before if that were the main cause.

I think the faster block times help with conceivably making it possible to use 1 confirmation instead of 0 confirmations for in-person transactions, as opposed to than 60 instead of 6. That tilts the odds of winning in a double-spend fraud attempt in favor of the merchant quite a bit, compared to 0 confirmations, although I don't know how to model by how much.

(You could empirically estimate by how much by looking at abandoned chain history in a real network, though.)

Looked at emigrating to NZ shortly after the kids were born - so many friends had.

I was shocked by the housing situation, prices were going crazy sure, that’s to be expected, but the actual quality of the housing was also terrible, and there wasn’t any cultural awareness of how bad they were

Didn’t move in the end, mainly because we wouldn’t have the money for the kids to see grandparents. Still not sure it was the right decision.

Funny, I think the same of Rogan. Give both their guest lists to Tyler Cowen.
The Ukrainians aren't some ragtag group. Literally thousands of antitank weapons have been supplied to them.

The Ukrainian military, and even their air force, are still coordinated and operational.

---------

This means that rifle militia aren't there to kill a tank. They are there to force the tank commander inside with small arms fire. Tanks are famously difficult to see out of.

Once in there, the tank is a sitting duck to a Javelin or Panzerfaust will kill the tank reliably.

This isn't 100 poorly trained militia vs tank.

The situation is closer to 100 poorly trained militia + 5 professional soldiers armed with NATO top of the line antitank missiles vs tank.

In practice, the company is not an entity able to set objectives or make decisions, decisions are made and influenced by individuals, and often the incentives of individuals are _not_ aligned with maximising stockholder profits. In many cases companies do things that do not maximize stockholder profits. There are blatant examples of this where a company CEO or company president is able to plunder assets from the company for their own personal enrichment (e.g. through self-dealing where the company buys or sells assets to another entity controlled by the CEO). There are also many cases where a project pursued by the company may have zero or negative benefit to the firm and to its shareholders, but provide many benefits to the employees leading or participating in the project.

William J. Bernstein's article Of Earnings, Dividends, and Agency [1] offers an educational and entertaining perspective on this:

> in a taxless world a company’s dividend policy should matter not at all to the shareholder. Inside academia, this is known as the "Modigliani-Miller theorem." In the taxable world, of course, shareholders prefer capital gains to dividends. So why do companies pay them?

> Because, to put it bluntly, corporate officers are often scoundrels and theives. They lie. They cheat. They steal. They invest in projects more on the basis of turf, prestige, and politics than cash flow. They run around in Learjets and eat fois gras on your nickel. Shareholders intuitively know this and insist on spiriting their cash away from these bad actors as fast as they can.

....

> "failure to disgorge cash leads to its diversion or waste, which is detrimental to outside shareholders’ interest."

....

> But what is most remarkable about [the paper by La Porter, Lopez-de-Silanes, Shleifer, Vishny][2] is its tone, which is almost Menckenesque in its description of modern corporate ethics. They describe a Hobbesian world in the kind of plain English rarely seen in academic finance; "Firms appear to pay out cash to investors because the opportunity to steal or misinvest it are in part limited by law, and because minority shareholders have enough power to extract it."

If Bernstein were to update his 2000 article for 2022, he might need to briefly discuss share buybacks as an increasingly popular tax efficient alternative to dividends. Share buybacks, like dividends, allow cash to be extracted from company coffers and captured as gains for shareholders.

You make it sound like it is intentionally done but if the shooter is far away/has poor accuracy and the soldier has body armor, chances are he will be incapacitated but not killed. After that the question is: is more morally ok to killed the downed soldier or wait for his unit who is still and active aggressor.
I tend to do the same thing but try to remember the adage that "perfection is the enemy of good". I might also be guilty of trying to write tests that are a small amount of code but cover lots of edge-cases.

your comment about average yearly temperatures is of course correct, but in this case it biases in favour of GP:

* It's colder than average today, to reducing the setpoint has more effect vs an annual average. If sun takes part of the heating, then the ratio of dT to gas saved is even bigger.

* The formula actually does work that way, maybe you're thinking of a different formula? i.e. Q (flow of heat) is a function of some heat transfer coefficient (U), area (A) and the temperature difference (dT) between inside and outside. So the (simple) correlation between dT and gas consumption to maintain a temperature is linear. This will be influenced by e.g. wind (increases U, therefore gas consumption) and other factors of course.

Anyway, it's winter. If there is any time where you can reasonably reduce your gas consumption by lowering the thermostat, it's today. In fact, I'll try this now and see if it works. Maybe time to start a movement.

(Also note that residential heating and office account for roughly a third of gas consumption in e.g. the Netherlands. Reducing that by 20% is still 7% reduction in total, and potentially a 17.5% reduction in Russian gas given the current gas mix)
