I've actually had the opposite experience generally. Something like "Default for Display" on my 2019 MBP makes everything seem so large and zoomed in that most websites are zoomed out to around 75%. (Now that I think about it, I do the same on the iPhone 13 Pro!)

It's not even just websites, I feel like the default padding around macOS windows is MASSIVE on low resolutions. Tons of wasted space.

I think generally we've gotten a bit lazy with "true" responsive design when it comes to taking advantage of the space provided, but I also know first hand how difficult it can be to make one design work for everyone. I guess the real solution is to make it easy to adjust designs for personal preference, or even better, a way to templates the process so that certain elements are resized the way you like it.
Ironic, from an English-speaking American, and a lawyer at that. I would think someone familiar with our founding would recognize that, yes, a free people has a right not to be subjugated to a major power just because they speak a similar language.

Also, "get it back"? Kievan Rus predates Muscovite Rus by over half a millenium. If you would like a beginner's primer on the history of ethnic and cultural ties and conflicts involved, I recommend Suzanne Massie's Land of the Firebird.
Modern building codes do carefully consider ventilation, but I think a lot of knowledge and tradecraft have been lost.

If you're lucky and live in an older house of the correct design from just before A/C, (most of the oldest two-story single family homes in Berkeley, FWIW) you might notice that some of the internal walls stay well below room temperature during the summer.

The buildings typically have pier and beam foundations, and the cooling walls have passive draft ways that pull cool air over the ground under the house and up against those walls. This is great in the summer, but not so much in the winter. I don't know how they use convection to pull cold air up, or how they prevent moldy foundation dirt air from permeating the house. I've heard there are some pretty clever designs, but (of course) they're hidden behind walls.

Anyway, our modern house is one story, and has an intentionally-uninsulated concrete slab on grade foundation, so we get a similar effect. (Passive solar heat keeps it toasty in the winter.)

We usually have our windows open, but we also over-insulated the walls (for noise and efficiency), and have a tight building envelope, so the heating/cooling bill is tiny.

(Edit: I bet they vented the walls into the attic and under the floor. That'd create a strong updraft in the summer (out the attic vents), but (if the attic is well insulated against the rest of the house) not in the winter.

To hinder the movement of Ukrainian forces, I would assume.
I would imagine that the russian government is unaware of Hacker News existence.
Are Russians really motivated to roll through Kiev and play real world 'Russian Roulette' with javelin missiles reigning down? I pray the hostilities will cease.
Not really as it was clear that he intends to invade for a long time.

If he is completely deranged and wants to start a nuclear war he could’ve done so without sacrificing so many Russian troops.

He can sit in his bunker and order a nuclear strike and even if most forces would disregard that order it only takes one launch to bring on the end of the world as we know it.

He knows he is running out of time and he wanted a new Russian empire to be his legacy but I don’t think turning Europe and North America into glass is on his todo list.

At least I hope not.
It's simple math. People were supporting families in the 1950s with half as many people working. The same "per capita" effectively went almost twice as far.
that's a funny story but I have my doubts that superior officers have such little communication with their charges that something like that would happen without said tank occupants being court marshalled immediately

If no one is going to say the obvious answer, I will:

You sit further away from your screen (relative to your screen size), than the average user. Let’s work backwards:

Assume you use 150% zoom on average. And you sit 100cm from computer screen. Then I predict an average user would sit 100cm/1.5 =about 66cm from same screen.

edit: or a screen with the same PPI or pixel density

Putin took Chernobyl because A) it's pretty much on the way from the Belarus border and B) it's a convenient staging area for forces where they're mostly immune to attack from heavy artillery or drones, precisely because of the risk of breaching the containment.

Intel did not throw it away. They sold the business unit to Marvell for $600 million.

I was working for a different CPU company at the time but the thought was by doing this it would allow Intel to focus on the sales and marketing of the Atom and push x86 everywhere rather than have a mixed x86 / ARM marketing message.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XScale

On June 27, 2006, the sale of Intel's XScale PXA mobile processor assets was announced. Intel agreed to sell the XScale PXA business to Marvell Technology Group for an estimated $600 million in cash and the assumption of unspecified liabilities. The move was intended to permit Intel to focus its resources on its core x86 and server businesses.
I believe the relationship between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland provides a better comparison than the US and Canada. While we share strong cultural ties and a border, Canada is not a former subject of the US (despite our best attempts in 1812). These days the UK and Ireland mostly peacefully co-exist, and you can imagine how outrageous it would seem if UK soldiers started marching south from Northern Ireland because the Republic of Ireland refused to align geopolitically or promoted the Irish language.
I guess that's the source of our disagreement as I don't agree with that despite living in a free democracy with no intention of leaving such a system (CC: my prior comment w.r.t. Western ideals).

Narcissist, certainly; immoral and corrupted, most likely; but still possibly rational [0], I see no reason they'd be de facto irrational despite how I feel about them. Born autocrats (or born in a line of succession) are a different story, but I'd argue it would even be unlikely for a commoner to ascend to absolute power without starting off as a rational, calculated and intelligent person (tho ofc not impossible, there are obvious cases). Not that there is any guarantee they'll necessarily remain so, seems unlikely after years or decades being surrounded by sycophants.

Feel free to disagree.

>I have a feeling that a lot of people in the pentagon that have been concerned about Russia becoming a near peer to the US are now sighing in relief.

I doubt anyone in the pentagon was woried about Russia becoming an near peer in conventional arms. The US economy is 14 times the size of the Russian economy. The US spends about $800 billion on its military each year, the Russians spend about $60 billion.

Lived in a stone house when I was younger. It was amazing at keeping us cool or warm for long periods when the temperature shifted.

In current apartment heating doesn't work properly until days after its gotten cold, and it's instantly too warm when it gets warm.

AC is very uncommon in Scandinavia, and we have 85-95% humidity in my area year around.
Russia is suffering massively higher attrition then US did in Iraq. Ukranians are actually successfully counter attacking in places. It is all a lot more even. In Iraq it was like a fully grown man beating up a 10 year old.

Their plan in general seems unnecessary complex and risky. They are burning through VDV at a fearful rate.. why in the hell did they try all of those unsupported helicopter landings? It all seem like Market Garden all the way to Kyiv.

Southern axis are a problem. Order needs to be given for a breakout of the forces holding line of control in the east. Of course we have no idea what reserves and where Ukraine has. Hopefully they did not keep too much too close east and there is a strategic reserve being held somewhere west of Dniepr

Sure, but it’s still mostly China:

> China’s fledgling solar-electric panel industry dropped world prices by 80 percent, a stunning achievement in a fiercely competitive high-tech market. China had leapfrogged from nursing a tiny, rural-oriented solar program in the 1990s to become the globe’s leader in what may soon be the world’s largest renewable energy source.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-china-is-domi...

China has the plurality of solar installations, produces the majority, have given historically the most aggressive tax credits for production and use, and is forecasted to have the most growth.
Obviously Putin is trying to put the USSR back together again because he's getting old and has to do something desperate to have any chance of obtaining his dream. If Ukraine were to become a prosperous democracy his fellow Russians might consider that they might have a better life under a self chosen government rather than a dictator like Putin because Ukraine shares a lot in common with Russians and many cultural/familial ties.
If they level Kyiv, the uproar will be huge.

And from I see, the Ukrainians will probably force them to do that, if they want to take it.
As someone pointed out in that thread, the original version of the "Dragon Book" was out in 1977, making it 45 years old:

https://twitter.com/vinodg/status/1497632140254609408

I used it in a compiler class in college in 1980, and it was already known as the "Dragon Book" back then.

You can still buy a used copy on Amazon:

Some hand wavy bits here: "For instance, it would be comforting for the passenger to know that the reason why the car is suddenly changing lanes is because it wants to avoid an obstacle on the road or avoid a traffic jam up ahead by getting off at the next exit. Additionally, we expect natural-language interfaces to be useful when the vehicle detects a situation it has not seen before, a problem that may require a high level of cognition. If, for instance, the car approaches a road blocked by construction, with no clear path around it, the car could ask the passenger for advice. The passenger might then say something like, “It seems possible to make a left turn after the second traffic cone.”

Because the vehicle’s awareness of its surroundings is transparent to passengers, they are able to interpret and understand the actions being taken by the autonomous vehicle. Such understanding has been shown to establish a greater level of trust and perceived safety. "
GOP voters/media, like the Russian government, are big spreaders of fake news - which is why so much of their media gets removed by fact checkers. They aren't supporting the Democrats or the GOP directly.

Interestingly, if you read the Mueller report you will see that Russia generated fake news for Democrats as well (it just didn't spread as well as on its own).
Good point!

It wasn't included here because all selected 38" monitors have the same resolution (3840x1600 pixels) and all selected 34" monitors have the same resolution (3440x1440 pixels), so it doesn't really help us rank them. Nevertheless, I've now added another column with resolution for clarity.

Doesn't Ukraine have too many anti-tank missiles to make occupying Kiev tenable without a scorched Earth campaign? The operator of a javelin can immediately move to civilian cover after firing -- fire and forget. Russian forces can't really be motivated to take those kind of casualties for long.
Not really, but no man is an island and no one rules alone.
> Russia seem to be closer and closer to the point where their only winning condition is a Grozny scenario and if that happens then there is no chance that NATO would stand by.

If that happens we are facing the very real possibility of escalation to some kind of nuclear war per Russia’s doctrine.
Have you looked for Kyiv on a map recently in relation to Russia and particular the Belarus border?

Of course it's "on the cusp of encircling Kyiv" - it's less distance than the average US drive to WalMart.
He has said as much. Here he says there is "no comparison" between Russian forces and NATO forces, implying the latter dwarf the former:

> If the whole can be less than the sum of the parts, it can also be greater than the sum of the parts

It can't be. That's not possible with CPU cores. It can be less but it can't be more.

Here's a proof: you can always timeshare two threads on a single core. If two threads can do 2x the work in 1.5x the time, then you can run that same code on one timeshared core to do 1x the work in 0.75x the time. Thus we have the concept of perfect scaling where double the cores can do, at most, double the work; you can't do better than that because whatever technique you used to achieve it can still be applied back to the single core.

(I'm sure other proofs exist, but the above should be sufficient to show why you can't beat perfect linear scaling.)

The reverse is not true. Just add in a mutex and your perfect scaling is ruined, because some of the CPUs have to wait. The more CPUs you add, the greater the amount of wasted CPU time because the mutex causes one part of the computation to run on a single core.
This is what I felt as well. My native language is non-European (Sinhalese) and I have a very rudimentary grasp of Latin and German. This is the form that I feel is the simplest -- simple, subject-verb-object sentences without multiple clauses:

A "telescope" is a tool.
A telescope makes distant things seem near.
Galileo looked at stars.
Galileo used a telescope to look at stars.

etc.

Edit: on second thought, maybe not. In my native language, "tool" can also be read as "weapon".

Android had been working on their phone long before that. There is a story by Richard Hipp the creator of Sqlite who was flown in by Android to help with their sqlite deployements on their phones long before it was public knowledge. He also had been working with Nokia/Ericsson who reigned supreme in cell phone market at that time and according to him what he saw by Android blew him away and knew that other companies were doomed. This was well before the Iphone days, I forget the exact date he mentioned but it was circa mid-2000s. It is clear that Apple and Android had been working on a similar product, apple just got to market first.

Right, better to rely on Middle Eastern despots.
I would say, this is different.

If we look at history, it's closer to Iran-Iraq wars.

Saddam pulled a historical grudge out of the ass, wrapped it in bizarre, artificial semi-religious ideology, and tried to draw an image of "people's war" with propaganda.

Then he started the war with people who 1) actually have a real historical grudge, 2) are real religious warriors, and crack good at that, 3) were much better at "people warring" than him, forcing him to retreat in complete ignomy after poking the beehive, which later causes an existential crisis within his regime.

Heck, I would say Putinism is the closest thing to Baathism. Random nonsense from communism, religion, and fascism glued together, and called an "ideology," which then not even its own members can understand, or explain.
Yeah, it's basically just that: Ukraine's armed forces are better equipped to identify and protect/defensively sabotage their own country's infrastructure than NATO would be, and everything NATO has given them shouldn't require training that they can't do themselves (if any is needed at all).

But it's all just speculation on my part! That's what HN does best, after all.

Simply stop working so the beast starves. Enjoy the permanent vacation lifestyle.
that's only a partial view. Once you have nukes and other countries have nukes. How wise is it to be the first to give up your nukes? Do you trust your enemies to stick to an agreement to get rid of all nukes when it's pretty easy to hide them? One you get them it's almost impossible to get rid of them.

For WMD level nuclear, my guess is quite low. Other user have said in other thread that there are several instances of nuclear threats in cold war era that should be launched, but didn't because the risk is too great.

Talking about Russia, AFAIK only Putin that is cornered enough to want to use it (and his aides I guess). The world, AFAIK, signals that they won't have problem forgiving Russia if the current regime changes. So I guess it's higher for civil war / coup in Russia before nuclear solution.

I don't know with smaller tactical nuclear though (district size maybe).
Heat properly insulated spaces. I don’t want to walk around with piles of movement limiting and suffocating clothing inside my own living room. The problem is not what you heat up, it’s how well you insulate it from losing its heat. In Australia where I live, insulation is non-existent in the average home/apartment. Even simple things like tinted windows (for hot days), double pane windows and floating floor is missing. On the top of that, you have archaic HVAC systems that cool and heat from one vent and have useless thermostat feedback loops. A $30 hand rolled thermostats I put together for my fairly expensive apartment unit is infinitely superior to what came with the unit.

Perhaps in theory. Almost every application under the sun I've encountered expects 1 to be red, or 4 to be blue, or 3 to be yellow, or whatever.

As an example, take solarized, or really any of the base16 themes. When I've used solarized in the past, many terminal programs that expect to print something in red are actually printing in a slightly-dimmed-background color, or purple, or something else where the intention of the tool author and the intention of the theme author conflict.
Design matters more than accessibility.

Same reason we have low contrast between backgrounds and text.

Same reason very few people add alt-text for images.

Same reason webpages re-flow terribly (not to mention how the formatting goes to pot if someone doesn't use their blessed gfont).

Same reason we get custom fonts when it's demonstrably easier to read fonts you're familiar with.

Designers rule the roost, with their 40" color-calibrated displays. Anybody with slightly less than perfect vision can go rot for all they care.

Sorry, a bit of a rant there. But this honks me off so badly. I use override fonts and sizes, and somehow designers still find a way to fuck that experience up.
Can you add an automatic consumption tax split?

For example if I book an expense of 11,000 jpy, I need to split this into two accounts:

- the expense account 10,000 jpy

- the consumption tax amount 1,000 jpy

Current tax rate is 10%, or 8% for selected items.

The actual tax amount must be able to adjust by +/- 1 jpy to match the receipt amount, because of inconsistent rounding/truncation methods.
If any offensive force loses 50% of its starting firepower, a normal general would've called it a defeat, and pulled back his troops.
