>But many people survive, and a society quickly develops post-war. But it is dominated not by those who were most individually prepared, but by those who contributed the most to their neighbors and communities.

This is exactly what all the "prepper" survival types don't seem to understand. In a nuclear apocalypse, your supply stores will be nothing but a resource cache for roaming bands of killers. And your supply of 50 guns with ammunition will just be an extra fun treat for them. The only way to survive is alliances, trade, and mutual defense. Life will revert to feudalism very quickly.
The US prison system is so brutal and things like solitary confinement, which is torture, totally normalised. We need to call attention to these things.
Defending against real harm is reasonable. Just don't be pro-active about it.
I don’t think we’ll ever see that. Without the plug, maybe, but with one? I don’t see that happen.
Apple is diametrically opposed to cannibalizing their own hardware market. If such a product ever does exist, it will likely exist in the form of an arbitrary $600 accessory.
>>In fact your experience strikes me as another reason to actively avoid RAR;

This is only your reason.

>>there is no guarantee that your RAR archive can be decompressed with third-party softwares other than WinRAR itself.

I'm perfectly fine, that my personal files would not be opened by someone, who is actively avoiding RAR(in my personal use - after rar was lha, that I used for archiving, because no one else knew what was that). And if I am sending my files to someone, then they will sure know how to use RAR.

What others will do with THEIR PERSONAL FILES - does not concern me at all - and should not concern author of article, that heavily mixes public and personal use of archivers. If some of the points might be applicable to public use - perhaps, but it is questionable, that opinion of blog writer can have any authority on this matter, where everyone will be doing what is best for them, so the actual true value(where it is only worth to "prove" others how you are right and other are not) of this high opinionated article is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> Dictators and tyrants, sadly, will only stop when you use force.

This isn’t strictly true. Qadaffi warmed up to the west, and even stopped torturing people. And look at how he ended up.

Not only they rule with an iron fist, they can’t rule in any other way, because the very instant they’ll show any sign of weakness, it’s game over.
Agreed! But it's a frustrating experience when you find when a website or application doesn't implement Esc for what you find to be nearly standard behavior across other applications. E.g., it seems like 80% of lightboxes allow closing via Esc.
True, I do vote with my feet. Which is why I won't apply for jobs with remote teams, and which is why I'm sticking with my current job.
And sometimes only one choice exists. This is such a time.
The road to hell is paved with good intensions isn't it?

The same users praising Signal about protecting the privacy of activists are also protecting the privacy of terrorists, criminals and extremists and with the introduction of a privacy coin called MobileCoin which makes funding invasions, scams and terrorist activities even more untraceable.

But at least Bitcoin is traceable. MobileCoin, Monero on the other hand...
I suppose you're thinking about Jewish badges, but this one isn't a star of David (the points are too sharp to make equilateral triangles) and it's not yellow either, so I don't think there is any relation between them except for having six points.
Is there a backup somewhere?
Ive been a user of 7-zip for years. I've recently switched to NanaZip which is a fork which works with windows 11 new context menu and adds in some other niceties. https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip
NATO could have defended it, but it didn't want to.

Nothing stopped it from moving in four months ago. Putin wasn't going to start a suicidal nuclear war over it.

MAD only works to deter against existential threats. Not being able to invade a neighbour is not an existential threat. Being invaded can be one, though.
Europe and the US's energy dependence on Russia emboldened Putin to attack because now sanctions will harm us as much as they harm him. No, we're not the ones attacking Ukraine, but we are complicit.
Haven't read the page yet but the header image struck me as interesting.

"Molex to SATA, lose all your data" was drilled into my head at an early job and appears to be what's depicted there.

If your disks are set up in a similar way, you might have a very immediate need for a good backup script :)
Can a mod give this a better title? The full title is "Writing about my job: Software Engineer at Wave"; sorta burying the lede by not saying what the job actually is!
Well, much better than trying to try to starve them when they have a huge trade surplus and over half a trillion in cash. You hit the enemy where he's weak, not where he's strong.
Ok, maybe not XV, but X11/Xorg was 2D accelerated back in the days, for sure.

X without 2D acceleration was crawlish even under my AMD Athlon.
> Putting somewhere around 30-40% of your emergency stash into the stock market may be a good call.

> The fundamental rule is to not be greedy: within the scope of this guide, your goal should be to preserve capital, not to take wild risks. It's best to pick about 10-20 boring companies that seem to be valued fairly, that are free of crippling debt, and that have robust prospects for the coming years.

> It is worth noting that many personal finance experts advise against hand-picking your investments. Instead, they advocate a process known as "indexing": buying into an investment vehicle comprising hundreds of stocks, structured to represent the stock market as a whole. The proponents of indexing have a point: most people who try to pick individual winners in the stock market usually fare no better than an index fund. But in the context of prepping, I think this is advice is flawed. To remain calm in tumultuous times, it is important to maintain a firm grasp of the merits of your investments. One can convincingly reason about the financial condition, the valuation, or the long-term prospects of a paper mill; the same can't be said of an S&P 500 index fund - which, among other things, contains the shares of about a hundred global financial conglomerates.

Oh come on. He's advocating putting 40% of your emergency fund into the stock of a handful of companies. This is hard to take seriously.
You can with at many android phones. The only big brand I know of is Samsung, but I use an iPhone, so I haven't bothered to look into how widely this is among Android devices.
As horrific as that is, that sort of stuff happens in wars all the time. It's so common that it even has its own fancy word to make it sound less horrific: collateral damage. That said, unless Russia was intentionally targeting the kindergarten (and/or the Russians didn't reasonably believe the kindergarten to be housing enemy troops at the time) I don't really see how that can be treated as a war crime.

For the record I think Russia's invasion is morally wrong and unjustified.
This is nonsense, they also have reported stories that didn't fit the CIA/US' favorite narratives, e.g. https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/2021/11/17/the-data-and... or https://www.bellingcat.com/news/mena/2021/07/20/a-new-platfo...
There are already many of those, the most common being Ethereum.
I was in chernobyl, you could pick up reactor core debris everywhere there by just looking for it with a dosimeter for a few minutes.
Samsung have Dex which is basically this but for android devices obviously. It's "ok" but its still android underneath.
This "..., making it difficult to shoot _anything_ besides the correct target with rust" doesn't seem to follow that policy, rather sends the message that everything just works.

C++ isn't perfect and there are many issues to improve, but I also don't agree that Rust is such a perfection.

Looking forward to a perfect abstraction of POSIX in stable Rust, taking into consideration all the caveats on the standard.

After all, I want my Rust code to be perfectly safe.
I am the commenter above.

I'm not absolutely certain it's a design patent application, actually. I thought it was, but I would very happily be corrected by someone with deeper knowledge, and please please ignore me if I am wrong!

Apple definitely uses patents in some of the same international classes to protect their product designs.

e.g. they are using the international class G06F 1/16 20060101 G06F001/16 for this one, among others.

Here's another Apple patent in that class that seems to cover aspects of the use of in-display cameras (by covering the idea of an extended display area around a notch).

https://uspto.report/patent/app/20190043452

Apple also uses it for very specific design aspects of an accessory keyboard hinge:

https://uspto.report/patent/app/20200301480

Here's an HP laptop-related patent in that class, that seems to cover really very narrow aspects of the design of a laptop enclosure:

https://uspto.report/patent/app/20200381801

And here's a touch panel design for an LG domestic appliance:

https://uspto.report/patent/app/20210048935

Whatever it is about this particular class of patents (whether they become design patents or not) does not seem to really be holding back innovation.

So instead of seeing these used as a "we thought of this whole new thing, you can't make anything remotely like it" patent for a new technology, these are more "these are the minute aspects of our designs that we claim are our work that you shouldn't copy".

It hasn't stopped other manufacturers using a notch, or an in-display camera.

It's more like they are a way to register a design that can be brought up in court when e.g. Apple accuses Samsung of stealing design IP.
Would you be okay with Patreon funding terrorists?

Are Ukrainians terrorists? No. Ukraine is a sovereign nation under attack. Do you not understand that?

Inventing completely unrelated hypothetical situations and edge cases doesn't make what Patreon did right.
Wombs are fundamentally more valuable to society and always will be.

You can recover from casualty losses in a generation if you protect your ability to create more humans by securing wombs.

This is just reality, and reality is unfair.
Vitalik Buterin, just to mention one. He tweeted his support to Ukraine. "Ethereum is neutral but I'm not".

I'm not saying it was him but it could be. And 80 BTC to him it's peanuts.
Here's the actual text. Note the language is mostly "so-and-so will refrain from doing something". Not "so-and-so will assist in case of something".
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Ukraine._Memorandum_on_Securi...

The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and The United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act, to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.

The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and The United States of America reaffirm their obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, and that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.

The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and The United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the Principles of the CSCE Final Act, to refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.

The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and The United States of America reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used.

The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and The United States of America reaffirm, in the case of Ukraine, their commitment not to use nuclear weapons against any non-nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, except in the case of an attack on themselves, their territories or dependent territories, their armed forces, or their allies, by such a state in association or alliance with a nuclear weapon state.

Ukraine, The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and The United States of America will consult in the event a situation arises which raises a question concerning these commitments.

Edit - Russia is in breach for failing to respect Ukrainian sovereignty. The US and UK are not in breach for failing to send troops. The EU (nor any other member states) wasn't a signatory, so it doesn't apply to them at all.
Ask HN: Advice on Transitioning to C#?
In recent years it seemed to me like C# has become the cleanest choice among the mainstream languages one encounters in local job ads, etc. As someone who has used a lot of different languages I'm wondering what the best path is to getting a sense of being a C# developer. I would appreciate it if anyone is interested in answering some of my questions like: If you switched to C# what resources did you use (would the same resources still be appropriate today), what IDE, how would you categorize the type of projects you've worked on in industry in C#? If your background was not on windows, did you fully transition over and how did the transition go?
Because that is what it was in the past, and they haven't gotten around to changing it yet, especially because (in the US) activating the draft is very unlikely.
I'm looking forward to custom mold (no pun) growing for applications like construction ((interlocking) bricks).
this. Not sure why this comment is downvoted. For anyone not speaking Russian, just head to Google News (with Chrome), pick the Russian news and translate into English and read the headlines (or if you're too lazy open this URL under Chrome https://news.google.com/topstories?hl=ru&gl=RU&ceid=RU:ru).

The comment above is a pretty accurate picture: protecting Ukrainian civilians, soldiers defecting to Russian side without even a fight, military generals telling success stories of their daily peace keeping operations and other face palming tales such as indeed a repeated idea that they fight against nazis to protect motherland under threat from evil NATO and the Americans.
I have a very distinct memory of the quadratic formula: when my high school geometry teacher just assumed we all knew it, but most of the class had never seen it before.

This sticks in my memory many, many years later because of the hours several of us spent (without being asked to do so) memorizing the thing, that being much easier than the version of the factorization method that we'd been taught previously. I did later learn about other methods (being curious about math, and having access to a much better Internet than during high school). Still, I don't think I'll ever forget that formula.
While these are called "Oberon", judging from the screenshots (i haven't watched the videos), they seem to be way beyond the minimalistic nature of the Oberon system shown in Project Oberon.

I think the emulator linked at the bottom left side is a better way to check out Oberon in action as you can easily (well, after you figure out how things get compiled, etc :-P) see it in practice and how a few individually simple (if not outright primitive) things can be combined to create something nice. For example i always found it amusing that the "menu bar" in each window is really just a regular text area and the commands shown are really methods that are called when you (IIRC) middle click them, like any other text in a window (so the main "GUI" for a program can really by just a text file with methods to click on - and of course since it is editable you can simply customize the GUI by editing the text file).
Tangential question: I've been using rsnapshot to backup a remote machine to my local NAS for a while now. My impression is that even for an incremental backup, everything that I want to have backed up is transferred over the wire, and it is determined locally what actually needs to be written to disk, and what can be hardlinked from a previous backup.
Is there a way to configure rsnapshot so that it only transfers the data that's actually changed?
I thought about this, my country went trough a civil war 30 years ago. Since the independence "our" government has just been about splitting the spoils of war between the elites.

Between me and my families I think we own one house that's not worth anything because of it's location and my apartment which I'm still paying off.

So if my country got attacked I would grab my family and leave without a second thought - let the people who divided the profits and live off the benefits defend it - I would be just as well in any other country.

Now if it came to world war and it was Russia and China taking over the west I would feel differently about it - but in that case it's a nuclear armageddon so I could probably do shit.
If that were true as a general rule, they’d still be trying to sell iPods and you wouldn’t be able to play music from an iPhone…

The cheapest I can find on https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box is 3.49 Euro. I assume your talking about the bigger plans with price / TB?
Not sure why are you downvoted cause this will be a really thing very soon
The article doesn't go into why he doesn't like things that write code for him. I personally don't trust things that write code for me, because they often write the wrong code in ways that I end up spending days or weeks (when I'm already behind schedule) trying to untangle. They're supposed to be time savers, but they often do the opposite.
So women 40+ should make great soldiers!
Civilian-owned firearms enthusiasts are not "military activity."
What did/do you do for a living, tech related? How did it affect your career to have a felony drug charge?
I played occasionally on a counter strike source server years ago and despite being a scrub would often get 10+ players spectating me to figure out if I was cheating. I wasn’t even playing well (and never have played cs well), it was just a really casual server.

Baseless accusations are thrown around non stop

I found quake live didn’t have cheating accusations back in the day, everyone had more understanding about how much worse we all were than the pros we watched in tournaments. A half blind snap shot or tripwire shot exploiting an angle in the map is just par for the course, if you can’t make those you would have a 0% win rate in duel (my duel win rate was still under 10%)
Because one man can impregnate thousands of women if need be.

A nation can rebuild to former numbers very fast if 50% of all men die but all women survive.

The opposite guarantees a massive collapse.
If they can open a Payoneer account this will give them a US and EU account. Not sure how they will get the money to Russia though.
Yes. I am unfortunately not a doctor, but seeing a few up close, I think that knowing how to treat injuries and diseases will be much more useful, than any amount of guns, ammo, and food.
I love this. I feel much more powerful with this in background.

Darn it, I thought this was going to be about IT backup and recovery strategies, which is much more relevant to me than whatever this nonsense is.

I taught a semester in a max security prison. It was described to me as a controlled movement facility. It was an interesting experience and one that stuck with me. That prison was a bad place. Thanks for your anecdote about the former police officer.
It's pretty much the same as PPAs on Ubuntu.

For what you're asking for, IzzyDroid's repo may be the closest to what you're asking for.
I also liked the command line syntax better than pkzip.
I think there's a bug in this; the proc_on calculation doesn't account for multiple lines, it just calculates if the output of grep is greater than 1? grep -c may not be available on all systems, so a more portable way to do this is piping to 'wc -l'
That’s how I use Escape too in Evil Emacs/Spacemacs. There is some funky default in Spacemacs where you can hit something like d+f in rapid succession in order to enter normal mode but I didn’t find it to be worth it.

People really like the home row but (1) I think it is fine to leave it once in a while and (2) my joints don’t like stay in a very static position for too long in any case.
This is actually a really cool article. I'm fascinated that we can learn languages this way. Immersion is definitely the avenue I'd seek but, often, that is not possible. The time table the author kept was amazing.

One thing caught my eye as it brought back some fun memories: Verlan is equivalent to our Pig Latin. The biggest difference is, many places in France actually use it! Here in the States, we tend to use Pig Latin around small children when we don't want them to understand what we're saying.
>I'll mention the battle of Cannae, where 60% of the Roman army of 86,000 was killed in one day, in hand to hand fighting with spears, lances, and swords:

Point being, Cannae is in the top 3 battles for the entire history of ancient Rome. That's 500 years of warfare, with a few instances of casualties at that level. Whereas, those kind of casualties were a normal occurrence that would hardly make the news on the Western Front in WW1, or the eastern front in WW2.

It's also about the sheer brutality of modern warfare. People were never disembowled into hundreds of pieces on a regular basis in ancient warfare. You never had the experience of watching an entire column of troops next to you be vaporized instantly. It's a completely powerless experience, as opposed to hand to hand fighting with an enemy you can confront face to face.
"Ukraine made the decision to completely denuclearize. In exchange, the U.S., the U.K. and Russia would guarantee Ukraine's security in a 1994 agreement known as the Budapest Memorandum." [0]

We can see this security guarantee in action right now. Same will happen with NATO's mutual defense guarantee.

In WW2 several countries invaded by Germany (and the USSR) set up "governments-in-exile" in London, so it certainly isn't unprecedented.
This single tweet sounds cryptic, but in tweet above it Vitalik strongly speaks out against Putin and Russia's aggression, ending with "Слава Украине." (Glory to Ukraine)
By “imagines” they mean “tries to patent”

Even our fucked up patent system is unlikely to grant this, so why are they even trying? Is this just busy work for their overpaid legal teams?
I keep reading that the Middle East will become uninhabitable this century. All those people will have to go somewhere. Heading North to Europe seems like the most likely outcome.
