That's what I mean. I can see you are frustrated by downvotes and suspect this big anti-Russian conspiracy - but did it occur to you that people would respond differently if you actually read what threads are about rather than just spamming your talking points everywhere? Case in point: here, we talked about whether DDoSing is an escalation to an ongoing invasion or not.
Ripstop weave does not help waterproofing. Nylon is no more likely to tear when punctured than any other thread. Packcloth is a weave, not another name for polyester. Polyester is stronger than cotton, not weaker. X-PAC does have fibrous strands since it is a laminate of woven fabrics.

Also I think it is somewhat confusing to list thread materials like nylon and polyester, along with brand names like Dyneema and Cordura. Most Cordura fabrics are nylon, for example.

Coatings are probably the weak point of durability for many packs. Any of the synthetic fabrics, even light weights, can easily last decades with normal use. But as the article notes, even with the best care, you won’t get much more than 15 years on the coatings. And when polyurethane goes bad, it’s gross. It smells horrible and becomes a sticky goo. It is depressing that despite decades of advancement in outdoor gear, companies are still just spraying PU on and calling it good.

Meh, I think it's still a good step. At some point you've got to take action to make progress. If more countries ban it we might eventually see a decrease in total mining.
Yeah, when you control the global economy like the USA does, it’s pretty easy to just make sure there are always starving countries to move your sweatshops to.
Short term? No.

Longer term? Maybe. Enough pressure on those in power will erode Putin’ support base. Cut off enough of his wealth and he’ll have a harder time holding on to power.
It's an anti-West sentiment instead pro-Putin.
They didn't exactly have a lot of time to form a committee and design a proper gun database and licensing process. They just wanted to kill some invaders.
You can use every rust API in that style, even if it wasn't written like that. See the sibling comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30472226
What surprised me the most was that Biden's response was basically that he'd talk about it in the morning with world leaders [1] and not something like let's enact tonight plans we made during the time we were warning that this was going to happen.

Seems like it sends a message that we have a problem with these particular guys, and we'd prefer to be talking to people representing Russia who aren't these particularly guys, however that might happen.

> The "Rules Based International Order" is just a euphemism for "Post War US Hegemony". And the rules are "The US state department tells you what to do, and you do it".

Sarcasm and hyperbole are fun, but can be misleading. The US-led rules-based international order certainly doesn't always follow the rules, and the US can be a major violator, but the rules have great influence and power. Generally, the US considers it in its interest to have an internation order based on rules, not on military power. But lacking a soveriegn international government, the US's military power has underwritten those rules since WWII.

The UN charter is one part of the rules, but international law is based on many institutions and agreements. Here's a great source with leading experts (e.g., top lawyers from the State Department and White House) for anyone who wants to know about it:

they can easily be eliminated _with_ the right equipment and tech

That's true of nearly any military threat, but the question is, does Ukraine have that equipment and if not, can they receive and be trained on it quickly enough for it to be useful?
That's right. Bitcoin is represented via 10-minute sequential hashed blocks. You can't forge that currency without re-doing 13 years of computing work.
>Python packaging is complicated for many reasons (both good and bad), but PyPI's index format is delightfully simple.

In a lot of the worst ways. Dependency resolution can't be done locally, it requires tons of separate network requests to fetch all the requirements.
I think you're making the mistake that Russians care if they kill innocents or that Putin cares how they win.
Don't punish the Russian people, they don't nessecarily support the actions of Putin and can't really do anything to stop him.
If I’d have been talked to the way the spy chief was by Putin the other day I would definitely consider that my own personal safety was at risk.
> It can't be just a number on a computer in a bank, right?

It's two numbers in computers. It's a number in the computer of the bank that issued the money, and it's a corresponding number in the computer of whoever is holding that money as an asset.

> Otherwise some Russian bank could just increase that number to whatever they like. And say "Look, we own 100 Trillion USD. Now let's go shopping."

It's not possible for a Russian bank to pretend they're holding more USD assets than they really are. The issuing bank knows how much USD is in Russian bank's deposit account. The Russian bank can issue its own USD liabilities (i.e. deposits) which are IOUs for the USD reserves that the bank holds on the asset side of its balance sheet. If the bank issues too many USD liabilities, they risk suffering a bank run that drains their USD reserves and puts them out of business.

> So I guess USD needs to be recognized by the US somehow?

Not exactly. It's possible to have a USD-denominated deposit account at a bank that h deposits at banks in the US. Most of the USD-denominated instruments in the world are not directly recognized by the US. But the international monetary system is hierarchical. Every USD instrument is an IOU for another USD instrument. If you follow the chain of IOUs, eventually, you'll get to the Fed.
Look at that install screen. Everything is listed in KB instead of GB. It's beautiful.
You think like a normal person. I for example can not fathom how anyone can want to be a politician. Yet people do and they have their own kicks out of it. So I do not think Putin is jealous of Musk. As for your grouper - they have enough exotic places and exotic food in Russia as long as you have money to pay.
I think not quite just debt and favors. In my mind at least the key differentiator is that with money, I can take some money from Paul for some good or service, and expect to be able to get a similarly valuable good or service from basically anyone for that same money.

I could at one time. I have lived in Germany, Lesotho and Japan after growing up in Canada. German and Sesotho are rusty because I haven't been exposed to them in decades. I still sometimes find myself occasionally coming up with Sesotho when I'm trying to remember a word in another language.
This is too hard for me. I feel like restricting it to nouns would be an improvement.

Make Linux look like Windows 95
I disagree. I think Putin actually aspires to be more like China. I think the difference between Russia and China today stems from the Soviet Union’s priorities of national independence and socialist ideals. China has played a long-term global strategy that Putin, or virtually any other country’s leaders for that matter, is bound to be jealous of. Ideology can never account for these discrepancies in potential.
My comment is not about taking sides. I'm talking about the entire situation and world politics in general outside of this situation. Humanity. People worried about whose next door and how strong they are and what their allegences are etc etc.

You could take world politics and play it on the school playground and it wouldnt look out of place.

I don't think this is true - while exposure to a wider or narrower set of these domains / technologies will depend greatly by your held positions and responsibilities within teams, size of companies worked for, and raw years of experience (so it is a gradient), I would expect from an experienced web developer to simply be very familiar with all of these if they are passionate and curious about what they do.

I consider myself a mediocre senior web dev, and I am can humbly say that I'm very familiar with all of the listed, without intentional effort in that direction over the years, simply because I wanted to understand the context of some of the things I needed to do, and also poke into each enough to understand how much depth there is and what I don't know. It is natural that it tends to add up.

Over the years, I saw a strong correlation between that breadth and how "good" someone was - on the example of someone working on the fronted in a team, I see 3 basic categories:

1) Not very good: I can do only the most direct and specified things and if something doesn't go as implementation plan intended, or requires outside of what I see as my "formal scope" (e.g. "frontend developer", so React + CSS), I expect someone to solve it so I can continue

2) Ok, but limited: I do only the things inside my "formal scope", so if I'm building a frontend to a web app, it's someone else's responsibility to think about e.g. security - but when something doesn't go as planned along my line of work, I'll find why and unblock it

3) Good: We're building a web app, what are all the things it needs to consider and achieve? My part in the team is this UI / frontend, but if security is important for this use-case, how will my frontend be cognizant of the security goals? I should read up that OSI thing I heard about, cover the basics on my side, and start the discussion on it so we as a team ensure the frontend part is good security-wise

Backcasting is a planning method that starts with defining a desirable future and then works backwards to identify policies and programs that will connect that specified future to the present.

Their answer should include googling the latest accepted specification if they’re going to be making changes or creating new ones from scratch. If their answer is to go to stack overflow, you might have a problem.
Yup. FZF is where it's at. :Files to jump to a file, :Rg to search around for some content.

I also keep vinegar around for when I want to poke around at the contents of a directory.
I think they do plenty. They're not going to make Putin order his troops to surrender. Nothing could do that. It will cause them irritation at the very least and hopefully diminish their capacity to cause trouble at least a bit. If they go buy 20 new tanks instead of 24 it did something even if it feels like nothing changed

Yes, you are correct. But Mastodon users complaining about Bitcoin energy is ironic to me.
> That's untrue. Sevastopol is the main port and naval base in the Black Sea, but Russia has plenty of others, and some are even undergoing expansion - Novorosiisk ( the backup one).

I have never seen someone claim that Novorosiisk was a sufficient port. Maybe it's a capacity issue?

> Sevastopol is in Crimea, but was shared under an agreement between the Russian and Ukrainian navies.

It is in a foreign country, an unfriendly one. That greatly limits Russia's freedom of action.
I thought the answer was going to be years of bad hiring and lack of care about their users, but I guess that’s probably a bit snarky :-)
> So given no effective sanction options and no military options, the US and the EU should've realized the only way to defuse this situation was to negotiate. Yet Biden categorically ruled out the possibility of formally refusing to admit Ukraine to NATO, something that was never going to happen anyway.

You undermine your own argument. Ukraine's admission was never going to happen anyway, and everyone knows it. Putin also knows it. So that isn't why he is invading.

Arguments about NATO membership or repressed Russian speaking minorities and anything else (you get different justifications for the war depending on where you are in the world...) are fig leafs to exploit people's existing opinions of particular parties (in your case, about the US throwing its weight around).

The reality is far simpler: Putin wants the Ukraine personally. His own private reasons are irrelevant. He wants it. And he has the will and capability to take it. And so he is doing so.

I'm going to pick one one part of your statement in particular:

> US and the EU should've realized the only way to defuse this situation was to negotiate

Putin wants Ukraine. Negotiation of any kind was never going to prevent this invasion, unless the concession surrendering without a fight and having Putin install a government of its choice.

My advice is to never, ever, ever rely on Google Workspace for a startup. Office 365 is a little bit less usable, but Microsoft can work with businesses.

I used Google Workspace for a startup. Startup went idle for a while. Google sent a message to me warning the account would be terminated unless I logged in on some short timeline. GMail filed its own email as spam. Boom. Everything from that startup was gone.

I used Google Workspace for my family domain. Google decided to discontinue GSuite/Free. Now, I'm SOL.

I've had similar experiences with Youtube. I build a major startup with Google as a partner. Videos were on Youtube. Google had 4 engineers assigned to us. Youtube has a bug which took us down. There was no way to resolve the bug, even with a team supporting us (in a different part of Google). We had to migrate off.

I've more recently been involved in businesses integrating with Workspace. On the API side, Google suddenly required a security audit for our business integrations to keep working. That's tens of thousands of dollars. Many small businesses went under when Google introduced this. (https://www.prescientsecurity.com/google-oauth-api-verificat...)

We also had an extension, which is in the process of breaking with Manifest V3 (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/chrome-users-beware-ma...). Again, many Google partners are going out-of-business over this.

Each time I've done business with Google, I've eventually been !@#$%.

These are all true stories, but they're not all the true stories I have. I have a much longer collection of stories of being !@#$% by Google. Some I can't talk about have to do with Workspace security issues. BOY was that a rabbit hole. If I could talk about it, you'd never do business with Google either. Google has excellent security for their data, but not for your data.

Google doesn't mind killing your livelihood with random changes like these. It happens over, and over, and over. Everyone thinks it won't happen to them, until it does.
This ties into a issue I preach everywhere I can: At least three different companies I've been associated with, including one F500, lost control of their domain due to the following process:

Someone in marketing got an email from some contracted SEO consultant, which said "I need your domain transfer codes". Marketing goes to a VP and overrides everyone ops, everyone in security, and basically everyone who would say "no" because tech people just get in the way.

So suddenly, the domain is transferred to Bluehost using their DNS, the MX records that served 8000 mailboxes are pointed at some "cPanel with five free POP3 accounts" service, and the subdomain that ran your SaaS no longer resolves. But your landing page has better SEO.

Feminist Interpretations of Scientific Epistemology (2018)
Native speakers are often very forgiving about rustiness (even enthusiastic that you've taken the time to learn the language at all). I tend to think of rustiness as a function of how actually invested I am in the culture.

At this point, I suffer from the opposite problem: I've invested so much of my life into english (which is a second language for me) that I'm now losing vocabulary in my native tongue. I don't even regret it that much; language isn't really about the bragging rights, and how one feels about language shouldn't center around their ability to use it as a party trick IMHO. Instead, I think a healthier way to think about languages is to just see them as what they are: tools to communicate with the people around you. What you said about doing what's best in the moment is pretty spot on. Live in the moment, and let your language skills reflect from that.
I have a Tumi backpack made of ballistic nylon and it looks brand new after ~8 years of daily use and going to various countries/vacations. I can't think of another product I own that gets regularly used and still looks the same, so it's pretty impressive and worth the $400 price tag.
As someone who's been tracking Russian politics due to being born there some time ago, the recent wave of sanctions are starting to have a rather undesired effect.

Roughly since 2008 (Georgian war), Russia has been actively cutting many economic ties that could have been used as a point of leverage. They have a knock-off debit card system [0], dedicated Internet censorship agency [1], and have been expelling Western civic organizations and trying to ban various European goods (e.g. french cheese).

This absolutely does reduce the life quality of an average Russian, but it is done in a slow controlled way, and spun the right way with massive propaganda, so people don't call out bullshit. And the West has less and less leverage over Russia with each step like this.

There is an unexploited Achilles heel though - Russian elites commonly send their spouses and children to live in the West, because it provides a safe haven against the internal Russian power struggle. Forcing those to return back to Russia would very quickly change incentives on many levels, but I cannot envision the West doing it. Not when it has become the safe harbor for dirty money made in poorer countries. Otherwise a random bullshit job in the First World wouldn't pay >100x the rate of the guy how assembles iPhones somewhere in the "growing economies".

These nationalistic narratives are means, not causes. Russia wants to control Ukraine, so they teach these narratives to create public support. It's done in many places about many things. You can see people on HN repeating them about their countries.
That would have just moved the timeline up. Ukraine is in a shitty position. Russia has always had a "red line" of conflict if Ukraine joins NATO. NATO has always known this.

Russia's neighbors want in to be protected from war, but there is no way in without starting a war.

I was countering a claim of Russian peoples’ awareness vs American peoples’ awareness. I can very confidently say that Americans, in the aggregate, are vastly more ignorant and unaware of any given political issue or how to responsibly think about any given political issue. The causes of that can be up for debate, but the difference is too stark to debate whether or not it is the case.
It’s practice and learning. Drawing is just rendering volumes as shapes. You learn first how the process works, then practice to adjust your motor skills. I’ve been drawing on and off since I was 8. I’m 26 now and I’m just decent. The above is what will really help you. Like what is the form of the eye, and what would be its shape from that angle. Then If you can draw any geometric shape accurately (by comparing line length and angle), you can draw the eye.

Well that's more or less what I hope is true and that this is a sign of crumbling Russia and the Ukraine can make it hell for them.

Always moderately suspicious of someone on twitter feeding me what I hope is true though.
I don't think anyone who actually thinks past headlines doesn't realize that this will hurt the Russian populace more than it will Putin, but they're really one of the pressure points to getting him to stop his war crimes against Ukraine. I think it's a multifront effort without actually firing bullets and the best tool that we have.
