They can negotiate deals all they want but the moment the Russians leave the insurgency will start again, and given that aside from eastern Ukraine most of the population is pro-west, I can imagine it will have plenty of popular support.
Ukrainian refugees are high-quality and won’t require arm-twisting to take. I would expect countries to fight over who gets them.
I was talking about YouTube ads. You are correct, yes, sponsorships tend to pay more than either YouTube ads or YouTube premium.
So does Germany
If you don't have to worry about hingry predators, large ones like bears or wolves, tigers and lions, I think an axe and a saw for fire and construction wood is a better alternative than a gun.

EDIT: Hunting, a gun can be used for hunting. If you know how to, if you don't it's still pretty useless.

This is absolutely irrelevant for the situation. I did similar things, yet you cannot deny that Youtube is hugely important for people's viewpoints on world politics. This isn't about you or me.
For rsync tasks that require scheduling and need to ensure only a single instance executes, I personally prefer creating a systemd service (type=oneshot) and have that run under a systemd timer (set OnBootSec, OnUnitActiveSec)

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd/Timers

EDIT: I'd love to hear if anyone knows of any downsides, edge cases for running rsync under systemd timers.
Your personal habits are irrelevant. We live in a shared society and Youtube content will still have an effect on you by way of its viewing by everyone else.
More than the alternative system, the immediate problem appears to be that Europe is so badly dependent on Russian gas that cutting off swift will be a suicide for Europe.

Europe needs to move to renewables for residential and industrial use ASAP.
the dropbox joke is that nobody would use dropbox, which is obviously false in hindsight. but nobody is claiming that nobody uses rar, but instead that nobody should use rar. the same argument is valid of dropbox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Dropbox.

It also exists to make people compatible with society again. Or at least should be.
Most likely because it is older. WinRAR was first released 1995 according to Wikipedia, 7-Zip 1999.
Coming from someone who is completely smitten with Rust, there are [edit: a few exceptional] "systems programming language" scenarios where Go is a much stronger candidate. e.g. minikube, lima, and $your_local_tool are probably better done with Go: the entire language is built around doing "shellscripty" things.

The concepts in Rust are a loose/spiritual superset of C; you'd be able to pick up C easily after learning Rust.

Also, I learned Rust with the linked series. It's extremely well though out and guides you into the mental model of "rustisms."
There seems to be a lot of confusion here about Didget's tagging system. It is not meant to replace the file hierarchy, but to supplement it. With Didgets you can still organize all your files in a plain old folder hierarchy without tagging everything. Tags just provide a secondary way to search for things. So you can still stick all your photos of Karl in a folder named 'Karl' if you like.
If they want to continue their push into services then having more entry level devices might make sense. They already sell Apple TV which starts at $149 so there is a precedent for lower cost devices.
> In my western EU democracy

Oh boy, where to start? More and more people around you are starting to realize that actual democracy has never existed, you’re a bit late to the party.

> The people aren’t real

You really think so? Excluding the really obvious ones with suspicious IDs and very shallow posts, I think most of the accounts that you’re dismissing as “fake” because it offends you, are absolutely “real”. First understand that one can spew out propaganda even without being contracted by state actors, many people are very passionate about their brand of politics and would do it even without any compensation. Secondly the increase in doubts with the mainstream narratives of mass media isn’t caused by just plain ignorance, but rather erosion of trust with governments and institutions within the populace. Without trust, nothing can be believed.

> The network is shallow and unconnected

Because most accounts on the Internet actually are shallow and unconnected, alienated in the virtual world as well as in the real world. The ones with many “organic” followers and friends are the exception than the rule!

> how come that in 2022 social networks silently stay behind this with their brand? Where are the employees speaking up? Where are the executives hiding?

Because in spite of Western governments’ efforts to curb “hate speech” and “disinformation”, their algorithms cannot simply analyze and understand the political nuance of millions of posts and comments that are generated hour by hour (thankfully). Maybe some keywords get filtered and some death threats get processed, but you’re expecting too much. Most of the employees in Silicon Valley are there to earn money and live a comfortable life, why should they even speak up about a problem that’s fundamentally impossible to solve (both technologically and politically)?
Don't make apologies for people who choose torture and who chose to participate in said system / culture. It's a job; if they had morals they would quit, whistleblow, or punish colleagues for this behaviour. I can't believe the pay would be THAT good. There's clearly no adequate chain of command or repercussions for this crime.
RAR's initial release was 1993, 7z's 1999. IIRC, I remembered seeing RAR's in the scene around 1995, 1996 or so. My take: RAR handled splitting to multiple arbitrary-sized volumes more gracefully than ARJ/ARC which were CLI first and never had a Windows GUI that was as nicely polished as WinRAR was. SFVs made error checking and redownloading corrupted volumes easy without relying on the compression format to handle it. ACE just came too late.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_(warez)

Edit: another major use case overlooked here: a considerable amount of media applications will stream files from within a RAR archive without manually unarchiving beforehand, making them more accessible from file storage sites like mega, 1fichier, without carrying the external appearance/negative baggage of an mp4 or mkv.
Counterpoints to the article:

"SWIFT ban will push Russia into China's hands" — Russia is already fully submitting to any Chinese economic terms. The swathe of Russian land the size of France was already leased to China effectively in perpetuity https://www.asianews.it/news-en/Vast-swathes-of-land-beyond-... . Russia sells its natural resources to China at unbelievable discount.

"SWIFT ban will make Russia, and China to develop an alternative to SWIFT" — Russia, and China already don't use SWIFT for trade in between government companies of each other.

"SWIFT ban will provoke Russia into all out war" — Russia is already waging an all out war.

"SWIFT ban will make Russia to switch to Chinese Yuan, and end the dominance of US dollar" - Russia already uses Yuan for trade with China, and bunch of other countries.

"SWIFT ban will make Russia to rely on China economically instead of EU" — This is the silliest claim I hear. If EU wants to trade with Russia, then don't sanction them. Sanctions are a bar on trade, and ability to extract profits.
> America has blacklisted big Russian financial institutions, preventing its own banks from dealing with them, and imposed strict export controls. These measures are much narrower in scope than disconnecting Russia from SWIFT, but they cut more deeply.

Is that true? It sounds counter-intuitive to me, someone who uses SWIFT payments a lot but isn't at all an economist or super into foreign policy, that the US blacklisting a few big Russian banking institutions would cut deeper than the immediate and total removal from the larger payment network. But if that is indeed the case, why not both? The answer the article gives for that is "it would hurt the West's investments/position with respect to China" which, yes, makes sense, but is that pain worth it? A few decades of land wars across the European continent would do that too, right?
> It's as if Medics would cry because other medics are charging them for a medical visit. Dirty medics trying to profit from their knowledge and time!!

After spending a decade trying to figure out how to maximize time with family during vacation, I decided to just fix the problem and move closer to home. Fortunately, remote work gives me way more opportunity to do that than had previously been available in the salary range I prefer.

On a side note, the linked story is a mess of weak studies, hypotheses that are no more logical than their inverses, and the author sharing her opinions of sociology.

Windows 10 oddly introduced focus-follows-mouse for scrolling (scroll wheel or touchpad) but keyboard input remains directed to the last-clicked window/element. It’s not a bad compromise (because primarily keyboard-centric users might not care where the mouse is and it lets you do things like scroll a background document for research while typing in a foreground document without losing the focus so long as you don’t click).
Is this actually happening or are people trying to keep others from supporting Ukraine?
I used rsync 20 years ago, switched to Borg, then switched to Restic. It’s nice to send backups to destinations like B2 or S3 without any special requirements. But the Hetzner Storage Box is good deal.

Now all I need is better client side software for these things, something I could use on my moms computer. Vorta is not that good, although I commend the effort.

Until the UI side is sorted, my moms laptop stays on Backblaze.

Ever seen Threads (1984) though? Or for something less outright depressing, perhaps the first few episodes of James Burke's Connections?

Both make it clear that should something cataclysmic befall us all we'd be faced with the near-impossible problem of restarting agriculture. Modern, surplus-generating, agriculture isn't possible without modern society, starting with the basics like fuel and fertilizers (and everything else that's connected: the rule of law, supply chains, logistics, PhD-level domain knowledge and expertise, and so on). Those who survive "the event" would be forced into a life of sustenance farming for generations - and while you might think some semblance of modern civilization could be reestablished within a few years, consider that if everyone is sustenance farming for themselves, that leaves almost no-one left to do the actual reconstruction work, and that includes rebuilding fertilizer plants, fuel refineries, oil extraction, and agricultural machinery production.

Without anything close to today's industrialization and automation being restored within a few years (hint: very unlikely) it only gets worse: our modern society depends on an educated workforce. Under a "everyone sustenance farms for themselves"-scenario that means there's no-one to sufficiently educate the tens of millions of school and university-age people, assuming those kids aren't press-ganged into farming for their local district before they can even read or write, so with that outlook what hope is there to rebuild and operate oil refineries from scratch?

And "rebuild from scratch" is the word. While Russia might no-longer have enough strategic warheads to completely obliterate the northern hemisphere (at least for now), I'd bet a week's worth of my future postwar turnip ration that Russia has all of North America's oil refineries and related infrastructure marked as primary-targets, such is total war - so in the aftermath it definitely wouldn't be as simple as reconnecting some broken pipework and wiring-up a generator: the entire gulf-coast's set of oil refineries would be obliterated.

So, yes, you're not wrong: we will all band together, but I'll add that we'll band-together for a world of suck for 10-20 years before we mostly succumb to then-untreatable cancers, and our offspring will grow up as illiterate and uneducated serfs.

I must say, relocating to Chile or New Zealand is looking very attractive right now...
It still has functioning reactors, so I’d imagine it’s the same as the time-old military strategy: secure the supply lines. In modern times, electricity is vital to an enemy’s defensive capabilities, so depriving them of it forces them to use generators with exhaustible fuel supplies.
How did you get into that? It's something I would love to do but I never knew how or if you could volunteer to just do a single course, if you'd have any sort of support, etc.
I think the Magic Mouse has an ARM processor in it as does the current keyboard.
My perspective was kinda the opposite: I'd already heard of use-after-frees, segfaults, memory corruption, etc. And I was very glad that I didn't have to deal with these as a programmer in high-level languages (JS, etc). As such, learning C was pretty daunting, knowing that even expert-level C programmers tended to hit into these issues, and there seeming to be 1001 rules that one has to learn to avoid them.

Rust provided a way into low-level programming without having to deal with any of these things at all. All I had to do was learn a few concepts like allocation and ownership. Easy-peasy compared to the above! This was especially true as when I learnt Rust I had need of it in production at work. I would not have had the confidence to put C code into production as a novice C programmer with no oversight, but with Rust this wasn't a problem at all.
I had checked those already, but neither have the Chernobyl dataset. (They don't have any recent data either -- nothing that could independently confirm stuff).

- "(does detect high levels right now)"

Those aren't recent measurements: right-click on the map to see their timestamps ("Query Safecast API Here").
The other commenters already mentioned it but Rust is an alternative to C++, with a similar approach to "zero-cost abstractions". Meaning it provides you with the means to do systems programming at a higher-level and ignore low level details.

If you're learning low-level/barebones hardware programming, this is both a blessing and a curse. If you already know the low-level stuff, then Rust/C++ abstractions let you organize your code in a much nicer way, but if you're learning the low-level stuff, then those abstractions are actually in the way.

C won't get in the way, for better or worse, so it's definitely worth learning, at least to appreciate the safety valves Rust and C++ give you after you've repeatedly shot your own foot (specially Rust which learned from most of the historic mistakes of C++).

If you don't want to deal with C-nonsense, then Zig is probably the best alternative for that sort of low-level programming, it even has freestanding (no operating system) as a first class target, stack-traces and all.
Yes, the sanctions aimed at the oligarchs impoverish the oligarchs.
My brother bought a Pi 400 that had a stuck key, we've been too lazy to return it so we plugged in a USB keyboard :(.
One aspect that the article does not cover enough is the importance of training. Whether that's medical training, self-defense training, survival training or general preparedness training, training is what makes gear/supplies useful. Far too many people will purchase x, y, and z in order to be "prepared", but if you can't properly apply that tourniquet you bought a dozen of, then it is useless, and so are you in the event of an emergency.

Circa 2006 or so, I decided to start spending my free/vacation time on training across a wide spectrum of skills. My motto: "Always become more deadly, or harder to kill." I've learned how to do a lot of things that I will very likely never have to do, but if I do, I hope that I am more prepared than I would be without the training. As with any training, the skills are generally perishable, so you have to work to maintain competency, but, personally, I'd rather spend my time learning important things than wasting it on the bread and circuses provided as "mass entertainment".

Well in a perfect world yes we would. However the world is not perfect, and most "white" people so to speak care more about white people than some Muslims in the Middle East or some Africans in Africa, that's just the reality of the situation. Hence why they're more interested in what goes on in European countries than in other ones.
I second this. Michel Thomas french CD's are awesome. I don't like the other languages they offer as much, but the french lessons by Michel himself are the BEST language program I've ever heard.
At one point, mid 90's maybe, I got the code for the freely available unarj utility and studied it. I remember being blown away by following it and understanding how Huffman compression works. I think that was with the help of a Dr. Dobbs article or something, that was certainly before I had any CS education.
This is my experience as well. If you're just there to fulfill your credit hour obligations, you can squeak through managing to shield yourself from truly learning much of the language at all.

I think much of the value, though, is in the opportunity it affords people who find a passion in it. I really loved French in high school, and the combination of the support/resources it offered (a book, a teacher) and the regimen (I think French was either 3 or 5 times per week? I can't recall) was just right to let me learn as much as I wanted to, and also enough regimen to keep me coming back to it even if I wouldn't have otherwise necessarily felt like it if left to my own devices.
Is there a recommended way of using Inkscape to make it more user friendly?

I hear so much love for Inkscape but every time I've tried to use it for laser cutting or 2d design I give up and go back to Illustrator. I feel like I'm battling Inkscape to do even the most basic things. I'm a very casual/occasional user (of either program).

I'm happy using Gimp and Blender over Photoshop and Maya/Max for my home use cases but Inkscape is defeating me.
Directly antogonizing the most powerful government and spy agencies in the world in order to tell the world about their wrongdoings is enough heroism for me. I don't need him to be a martyr. If he lives out the rest of his life safely in comfort I'd say he's earned it. Demanding anyone who's done a good thing to sacrifice themselves at the alter or cease being considered good will just lead to noone doing good things.
Whatever the Czech government might offer, he would raise still higher demands
I've had great success using the Pimsleur method.

It involves 30 minute audio lessons using spaced repetition where you instinctively and intuitively build fluency over a restricted vocabulary.

https://www.pimsleur.com/

It worked for me, but it's expensive, and requires patience, as it advances somewhat slowly.
I am not sure about watching, but a few different streamer have said showing dead bodies other other list of things can get you banned. Some streamer I was watching mentioned that even violent gun fights and other things might get you in trouble. They were watching videos first without showing it to make sure it was safe.

I also wonder if youtube is trying to do detect propaganda somehow. Some videos were clearly using old/altered clips and making claims about the war. This might be factoring in too. Unfortunately, no actual detail is provided of what exactly was the trigger. Even some of the reddit thread seems to have disappeared.

In my humble opinion, HN is a file place to be outraged about something some company/person has not but not really that good of a place if there is no data/information/real indication/ that something bad has happened. I am happy to listen to counter points.
I’m not so sure that it’s embarrassing for YouTube, although I think your expected timeline is pretty much spot on.

I don’t think people expect much from YouTube.
The processing of those commands happens off-device, so the service provider needs to verify that the skill won't cause damage to the hardware, potentially expose sensitive data, or (most importantly) not cost them too much to process.
yes, because human over-site is not viable at that scale. Please educate yourself on the scale of youtube. its not like folks at youtube didn't think of the idea of using humans.

even classifiers with 99.99% precision means hundreds of thousands of videos and channels will be incorrectly marked as abusive every year - we just need to accept that and hope that the automated systems are improved over time.
> some argue there are formal analogues which are genuine paradoxes...

Isn't this getting a bit circular, as it seems to be using the presumed existence of a formal analogue to justify the informal Berry's paradox? If it has a paradoxical formal analogue, then it does not stand as an example of a useful yet unavoidably informal paradox.

Also, given that there seem to be more than one plausible formal analogue, not all of which are paradoxes, does the dispute not just re-form around which is the real formal analogue? That's what seems to be happening in the exchange of papers from which your example was taken.

AFAIK the crucial part of this, is rsync's `--link-dest=DIR` parameter, which hard-links an unmodified file to the respective place in "DIR", rather than making a copy.
Their twitter account is 5 years old and has a screenshot showing they launched a radiation map 2020. https://twitter.com/SaveEcoBot/status/1339958096232329216/ph... So it didn't appear recently, maybe it was not popular enough to be indexed or linked to since launch (only 22 Twitter followers).
Yes, but now he's silent about what goes on in his new home, regardless how he got there. He could at least acknowledge the irony. And maybe note that now he really is in a place where human rights are minimal.

I’m not talking about whether Russia did not invade Ukraine. I’m saying I hope you and the world can be JUST as vocal when US does similar things. For example when it invades or bombs a country or does regime change. Or when China does it. Evenhanded means that USA should get sanctions after doing it.

Yes they are Oberon too but my point is that they've evolved and added a ton of stuff that go further than the minimalistic nature of the linked site. The "Project Oberon" in the site doesn't even have overlapping windows or color for example.
It’s inherently non-standard/non-unified though, and requires each app designer/developer to figure out how they’re going to do it (or more likely, how they’re going to screw it up). A slim, system-provided title bar avoids all that. Seems like a small and very acceptable price.
I find it hard to cpnclude how "useful and usable in a production environment" an OS project can be, when the project website still isn't using SSL/ HTTPS.
