> Skipping versions while updating any software is just being a lazy sysadmin and praying it works. Typically skipping to major versions during upgrades always comes with breaking changes so operator beware.

It's nice that GitLab actually prevent you from doing that and give you messages that it's unsupported and direct you to their documentation, which describes the supported upgrade paths...

However, at the same time one cannot help but to wonder about why you can't go from version #1 to version #999 in one go. Most of the software at my dayjob (at least the one that i've written) absolutely can do that - since the DB migrations are fully automated, even if i had to create a lot of pushback against other devs going: "Well, it would be easier just to tell the clients who are running this software to just do X manually when going from version Y to Z."

But GitLab's updates are largely automated (the Chef scripts and PostgreSQL migrations etc.), it's just that for some reason they either don't include all of them or require that you visit certain key points throughout the process, which cannot be skipped (e.g. certain milestone releases, as described in their docs).

Of course, i acknowledge that it's extremely hard to sustain backwards compatibility and i've seen numerous projects start out that way and the devs give up on the idea at first sign of difficulty, since it's not like they care much for that and it doesn't always lead to clear value add - it's a nice to have and they won't earn any less of a salary for making some ops' person's life harder down the line.

I also have automated backups with BackupPC, however i expect software to remain reasonably secure and stable without having to update that often - props to GitLab for disclosing the important releases, but i'm migrating over to Gitea for my personal needs as we speak, even if having someone else manage a GitLab install at work is still like having a superpower (with GitLab CI, GitLab Registry etc.).

I actually wrote an article about how really frequent updates cause problems and lots of churn: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/never-update-anything (though the title is a bit tongue in cheek, as explained by the disclaimer at the top of the article).
So we should we head into WW3 over Ukraine? What’s happening in Ukraine is incredibly sad, but if NATO gets involved millions (billions?) will die.
I'm not sure what you try to explain to me.

Independent of the military spending the military power of NATO is still bigger than Russia.

This is the point I made.
Germany is the richest affected country. There will be deaths in the eastern EU if this is done without massive western financial support, any COVID-related budget will be dwarfed 100x by what is needed for this, no eastern state has nearly enough money for it even if they dedicated their entire budget.
I have always wondered if this wasn't a deep-state operation by USA to make China look bad. Would make perfect sense right? Collect some samples, make a virus, release in Wuhan. Then blame China on it to lessen their soft-power... Exactly type of evil stuff that USA is well known for... Like toppling democracies, assassinations and funding terrorism...

Sounds to me like most realistic and simplest explanation knowing the sides involved.
Finally a bit of sanity!

The same goes for an OS or a game engine or any other large scope (Or collection of small scope) tool.

The other people who kinda care are those similarly engrossed in their own project, meaning... they do not actually have time to care.

My first priority with computing is to get rid of all the custom stuff. I won't even think about refactoring or any other improvement till I've weeded out all the handwritten reimplementations of library functions, made sure that there's no ad hoc string.split() based data formats that should be JSON, or UDP packets that should be MQTT.

Honestly, I don't even like that macros exist. I understand that in low level languages sometimes one needs metaprogramming, but it's more of an unfortunate reality than a cool feature.
Crimea is not in the EU.

Great reference "another comment". Can you show an actual reference?
I think you're too harsh? The war games were not started by Germany, they are just reacting. It is only prudent to shore up your defenses when a country in your region starts a war, especially if that aggressor occupied part of your country until moderately recently.
I wonder what part you missed since you find this strange and you find those two cases even remotely comparable.
Just because one wants Ukraine to repel the Russian invasion does not mean one has to blindly subscribe to and cheer for any means employed.

You are being incredibly disingenuous. In fact you are doing your whole argument a disservice with a comment like that.
You have to be careful comparing primary energy to PV output.

Primary energy is thermal energy before conversion to work. PV's output has already been converted to electrical energy. One kWh of PV output displaces several kWh of primary thermal energy.
I found that unconvincing also. However the fact that the matching parts are in the furin cleavage site (which has never been seen in a coronavirus) did at least bump claim up to “this could plausibly be interesting”.

You should? Yes. You are? Likely not. Developers will pick coliurs that look good on their theme and not even think about overriding the background colour until they get a bug report.
Being ready or having a good defense in place is not the same as going into war.
ANSI terminals only offer 8 colours (extended to 16 with some tricks) based on grey-on-black screens of old. They, by default, have a certain set of features (like which colour contrasts which colour). Basically, it's a very limited palette, and it's up to the theme to maintain all the properties and features that hold between original colours.

While developers can make use of more than 8/16 colours today, I find that extremely rare, and if a colour display for an app does not work on your theme, it's either an app problem in that it wouldn't work well in any terminal, or a theme problem.

If it's an app issue, what makes you believe an author would rather implement NO_COLOR instead of fixing colour choices they made?
When Trump was crying about the cozy Russia-Germany relationship[1] and talking about how NATO was not contributing its share, the fact checkers were busy concentrating on his tone rather than the substance of what he said.[2] They must be very pleased today that they were able to do that then.

> President Trump told NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg during a meeting in 2018 that the Western alliance, particularly Germany, is "totally controlled" by Russia through oil and gas deals.

> "We're supposed to protect you against Russia but they're paying billions of dollars to Russia?" Trump asked. "I think that's very inappropriate."

> "And the former Chancellor of Germany is the head of the pipeline company that is supplying the gas. Ultimately, Germany will have almost 70% of their country controlled by Russia with natural gas. So you tell me, is that appropriate? I've been complaining about this from the time I got in."

> Trump called on Germany to "step it up" on their contribution to NATO immediately, "not 10 years from now."

> "Germany as far as I am concerned is captive to Russia ... we're supposed to protect Germany while they are getting their energy from Russia, explain that," Trump asked the NATO Secretary-General.

> Trump called it "very unfair" to the United States and its taxpayers.

The use of rot13 was just an amusement in this case given its vintage. Replacing rot13 with any other simple stdin/stdout transcoder should be simple to do via the socat invocation, eg base64, a sed replace command, gzip/gunzip, even an actual symmetric encryption protocol like AES, etc.

In the address, they mentioned making these weapons and vehicles in Germany. But no doubt USA will have a big part.
Psychological warfare like this hardly deserves criticism.

Those who don’t want war in Europe should absolutely cheer for this.
I think it is only you who have a problem with it. Writing Japanese horizontally has only been a thing for about 100 years. About 100 years ago the direction Japanese was written horizontally was mixed between left to right and right to left.

Writing Japanese reversed aka right to left isn't a weird concept.
That was a decision made by CDU and FPD, the greens were not in the government at the time.

Germany also added twice the amount of renewables than it ever had in nuclear power. And that is despite the heavy hits against the industry that the late Merkel governments landed, after boosting them for a while in the early ones.

After 16 years of CDU being in charge, yelling at the greens about today's situation is not just ignorant, it's a fake news attack on democracy.
> Ukraine is fighting now for less militarized and endangered Europe.

I hope somebody else can appreciate the irony of this sentence like I do, given that the cause of the conflict is military NATO expansion towards east.
Why would anyone agree to that when Russians are attacking Ukrainians from Belarus?
The cause of the conflict is that NATO did not expand to Ukraine. Putin would've never risked it if they were members.
> Psychological warfare like this hardly deserves criticism.

I'm glad we now both agree on what this actually is.
My understanding is that in general on average DNA across things is very similar. Specifics are different, but lot of material is shared even across species.

He made a plan for a new renewable energy push and started to visit every constituent state to discuss his plans. He is doing this hands on and pushing a strong renewable agenda.

There are already plans for laws which will force more investment and reduce burdens.

He talked about it in length just in January.
I remember visitors from China about ten years ago asking why the air in the US was so clean. I explained it was lower population density and the Clean Air Act. The latter has been so enormously successful (estimated benefit some 40 times the estimated cost) that not even Republicans object to it.
Where else could they go? Poland seems like a good candidate?

Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania...
Don’t pretend that I’m stupid.

Of course this is psychological warfare, but it’s also the right thing to do. Both can be true at the same time.
There already is a good defense in place.
China regained Hong Kong through negotiation and by the terms of the original treaty. They already "allow" Taiwan to work against some (not all) of their interests.

Russia has land borders with several NATO states, so I don't see how the Cuba comparison is relevant.
I think if I'm being generous, the proposal is to eventually have a credential management ecosystem (with cross-device key syncing, and keys per origin) similar to WebAuthn.

However, if you do this, you rapidly start to discover some of the reasons behind WebAuthn's design choices. For example, to prevent phishing/replay/linkage, the "authenticator" (the thing managing the keys) has to know the origin/RP. And to allow hardware and software authenticators, you need some protocol like CTAP to abstract that out. And because some RPs want to require hardware-backed or biometric authenticators, you need an authenticator type. Etc, etc, etc.

If WebAuthn is hard to use, it's because we haven't build the right libraries and abstractions yet, and that indeed sucks. (Though I think we mostly have, and it's not that hard to use.)

But the criticism here of complexity--contrasted with the simplicity of a trivially broken, horribly unusable "proof of concept"--is a bit like someone who says "I can make a working demo of a car without power steering, antilock breaks, an entertainment unit, an ECU, a catalytic converter, or headlights--just four wheels and a two-stroke engine! Clearly all that complexity isn't needed!"
Thanks, very clear explanation. Curious how a third party is always required to get involved in the end.

It is possible that Russians understand that nobody would agree to such egregious conditions, and do this so they can claim that ukrainian "nazi" government is "refusing negotiations".

Green is on the other side true but the current legislation works well together as far as I'm experiencing it.

I've had similar ideas, too. But I just ended up using randomly generated email address and password per website, which does two things for me: resistance against password resets (noone knows what email to put into a password reset form) and credential stuffing.

Author's solution adds some auth re-play protection, compared to what I use. But that's very little additional protection against threats that would be hardly a problem in practice for me. I just use TLS to protect the auth interaction (so who's going to capture the credentials?).

Most importantly, passwords actually work almost everywhere.
iRig2. It was some time ago, so I can't give you all details for comparison, but I'm pretty sure that was pre-buffer-tweaking. However making the buffer smaller improved both sides so xanmod was still winning. (With the same small buffer xanmod was perfect but stock started getting xruns)

>Sadly because of historical reasons we can't have a European army

No, history is not the issue, it's because good luck convincing French or Germans for example, they gotta send their men to fight protecting Poland, Romania or Bulgaria for example, or vice versa.

All you have to do is look at how badly EU countries cooperated during the Greek economic crisis, the migrant crisis of 2015, the Covid crisis, etc. Every EU member government was blaming each other or the immigrants from poorer countries and refusing to cooperate or come to a consensus.

And you think military cooperation will somehow work better?
What does "sanity" mean? Without the curiosity to drive us, we wouldn't have moved out of chilly caves.

Yes, like most initiatives, you are set for failure, if you define success by how popular a creation of yours becomes. You can still learn a lot.

And still, because "success" is such a rare breed, we actually need more people to do challenging stuff, so we'd get more success in absolute numbers.

The OP actually lacks sanity in recognizing that their project did not take off, and they don't have a clear idea of why they are doing their programming language project.

Basically, they are realising it's not a success, and they don't necessarily care about learning much out of it, and yet are still not letting go. If anything, that's a definition of insanity :)

It's pretty obvious tbh.
I don't think anybody's claimed that it reverses ageing, and if they have I think they would have clarified that they did mean 'slows' the ageing process. And there's no doubt that caloric restriction and IF both slow ageing relative to a normal caloric intake. I don't have the paper on me atm, but IIRC it was 30% longer lifespan in mice. Now whether you want to say ageing is slowed or that lifespan is increased, and I'm not denying that there's a legitimate difference, but either way caloric restriction is completely legitimate for both, and to the extent you said it's useless, I don't think that's fair at all.

For anybody interested, the mTor pathway is really interesting in this regard, and in general the effects of AMPK on cellular metabolism. TLDR is that in the modern world most people never activate these pathways (since we're always in a fed state). Ostensibly there will be some breakthroughs when we finally learn why these starvation pathways are so beneficial. Inflammation seems a decent guess - eating increases it, and fasting decreases it, as a general rule.
This.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Most europeans are aware of germany’s involuntary aid for russia but cant do much since germany dominates eu politics. There is a near conspiracy theory amount of decisions that Merkel took and played right into putin’s favour.

Also worth noting the german ceo of north stream is a former stasi officer, the east german communist secret police - a russian tool.

These are many of the reasons why i am against a european army. It will likely be dominated by germany, and regardless of how much germans will try and pr their country’s image, germany has made colossal mistakes.
I suspect Germany (and other EU countries) approach to debt is gonna be based in tricks and stuff over the next few years.

A lot of the 90s era monetary economics that the euro is intertwined in has been collapsing as a dominant school of thought. Covid plays a role here, but a lot of it has been building since 2009 & the greek debt crisis. I don't think many are ready (especially in germany) to throw out institutions, even ethereal intellectual ones... but OTOH change has come. Military emergencies, historically, are pivot points for monetary infrastructure... FWIW.

Interestingly, I'm not sure the german constitution necessarily has to change. In some sense, the more conceptually radical solutions wouldn't require it. ECB debt, or at least the debt transferred to the ECB in the 90s, just needs to stop being considered debt.
Lindner? No way.

> it's normally slower for server-workloads

I find this categorization of server workloads as something that is not latency sensitive bit weird. I'd imagine tons of server workloads that serve interactive users, for example a web server, should also care latency. If you for example are targeting <100ms p99 latency for your web service, then to me that sounds like it'd fall in the same ballpark as desktop use?

Sure there are still some batch workloads or other non-latency sensitive things around, but I'd almost expect those to be in the minority these days for servers.

What would the point of a European army be when our national military’s are sitting by watching as a peaceful European country gets invaded? We’re all up for participating in unjust wars against weak opponents in the Middle East, but when there’s a war worth fighting we roll over. And I say this as someone very anti-military. If anything, the current situation is showing me we should be reducing our military spending because we’re not making any use of it.
The author only used rot13 to make a point about the failure mode of inspection. DPI is only there to stop everyday employees from bypassing security policies inadvertently, not to stop an actual attacker. An attacker could use any number of other approaches: hiding payloads in innocuous keywords, using actual encryption, steganography, what have you.

I'm not a security expert but we had those kind of measures at a previous job and AFAIK they are there so that a lazy employee (me) doesn't just skip configuring their tools to go through Artifactory out of laziness and introduce a supply chain vulnerability. If "pip install XYZ" just worked out of the box, how likely would it be that all 10k devs in your organization would bother configuring it to avoid PYPI?
