Dirty bombs don’t seem like a thing you would even want to mess with. The types of materials you would need are heavy and very dangerous to handle and transport in the concentrations needed to add them to a bomb. The resulting package would be tremendous heavy and probably have to be transported by truck. The whole operation could kill anyone involved in building and transporting it.

On top of that, it wouldn’t be very effective. Most of the radioactive material would be heavy and fall out of the air quickly. Anyone covered in the dust however could shower and probably be totally fine. One the dust is dispersed it’s unlikely to be radioactive enough to form an exclusion zone.

On top of all of that, the whole world now thinks you’re a godless monster, and you might wind up in The Hague. It’s a loser of an idea.
Well it is really. We've effectively got a war between Russia and most the rest of the world. A bit unfortunate but there you go.
This follows political pressure in the past few days.

"BP left the meeting with no doubt about the strength of the Business Secretary’s concern about their commercial interests in Russia." (https://www.energyvoice.com/oilandgas/europe/390852/bp-ceo-r...

That obviously a bit cryptic, but I don't think this decision is purely altruistic on BP's part.
The gift is worth nothing or actually worse, BP pulling out reduces the value of all of their other shares too.
Thank you! At the moment, my contacts are extremely busy, trying to evacuate families to safe places.

These two contacts seem most trustful for me:

Unrelated to the particular Int32x32To64 bug in this post, but Wine suffers from the Year 2038 bug and can't access directories with an access time past 2038 (generally caused by software bugs). This has broken the Wine installations of a few people on the Internet.
I committed a 2038 bug probably 25 years ago. A salesman found it the hard way fat-fingering a job into the 2060s. You don't have to reach the trigger date to set these things off, anything that looks to the future can trip them.

(I knew it wouldn't work past 2038, I didn't realize it would keep anyone from seeing the production schedule if it contained an offending job.)

I wouldn't recommend it though. Turns out modifying your mitochondria into pumping out more energy has some negative side effects.
You say this now, but I've had to work on 5000 line (literally, 5k lines) classes in legacy code where there are a huge number of dependencies injected manually because the class is doing initialization for a huge number of components. You could argue that this was bad design but I'm sure it didn't start out like that, but just accumulated cruft over time and was too dangerous to refactor. (if prod went down it was at least a few hundred $k down the drain). DI makes it much simpler to wire things like this up without making mistakes like accidentally initializing the wrong class implementation, etc. In polymorphism heavy situations it reduces cognitive complexity a lot.
I think you underestimate Russia's love for their Tyrants. Giving Putin more ways to craft the narrative and convince the Russian people he has sent their sons on a picnic to Ukraine will not benefit people around the world or the Russian people.

The Russian people need the truth so they can understand the consequences of a Tyrannical Leader (if that helps).
BP still owns the shares, and on the future this could still give them a claim against Rosneft so this is not a gift to anyone.
True. But it's not up to Mrs Von der Leyen to decide that, otherwise during the next elections, I will not...oh wait...
I used to be anti pancake mix as well. Then I got a cabin where pancakes are almost a mandatory weekend breakfast and I realized I often forget to bring fresh ingredients (mainly milk). Krusteez was a hit and I became a convert.
It makes a lot of sense and toolbox programming is a pain - it was quite low-level in its day too. The downside is the you end up with an app that runs on classic MacOS but doesn't look anything like a classic MacOS app. I think that's a problem somewhat inherent in the platform - the system-provided GUI programming model was primitive but users cared about the look/feel of the UI just as much if not more than now.
In Switzerland it is extremely popular to work part-time in IT.
To the point that most men I know have reduced to 4/5 when they became parents and most women to 3/5.

The deal in companies is that it's relatively easy to reduce your work % but it's a one way street. To get back your manager needs to find a budget the same way as if they were hiring (but I don't know anyone who did want to increase it back).

Seems to work well.
Things are moving to wayland, but x11 is never going to go completely away. Xwayland provides an xserver that can be used within wayland.

Some of the things you listed as problems would be problems anyways in wayland, because they have to do with the fact that wayland doesn't, for example, give unrestricted access to every single program's image buffer from any program (for good reason).

Doing free software via e-mail is also fairly decentralized. In fact Linux was done via e-mail until (at least) 1998 - patches were mailed to Linus and it was patch and diff (in 1999 VA Linux and Red Hat IPO'd).

Debian was very e-mail oriented last time I checked, unless things changed in the past year or two.

There may be drawbacks to software via e-mail but there are benefits as well. It depends on various factors.
Help US and hinder Russia by giving Russians green cards
LCOE calculated for intermittent sources (solar, wind) isn't really comparable with LCOE calculated for dispatchable or baseload sources (hydro, gas, coal, nuclear) though.

LCOE is (lifetime costs)/(lifetime generation), but the value of that generation is very different between intermittent sources and dispatchable sources and the difference is very important at grid scale.

For example, solar has become quite cheap -- when the sun is shining. At midnight the cost per KWh from solar is infinite. The cost per KWh for a coal plant, however, doesn't really change based on the time of day. This distinction isn't captured by LCOE.

That distinction is important because grid per-KWh costs are a weighted average of generation costs. Mathematically, that cost correlates nearly perfectly when most of the generation is supplied by baseload generation. LCOE and actual grid per-KWh cost correlates well when most of the generation is arbitrarily dispatchable. The simple numerical average LCOE correlates poorly to average grid per-KWh cost when much of the generation is intermittent if that intermittent supply doesn't line up well with demand.

For example, from your link if you want a solar system which provides power overnight, you need to sum up the generating cost (busy charging the batteries during the day) with matching storage cost. From your link utility solar ($30-$41) plus wholesale four hour (100MW/400MWh) storage ($131-$232) results in a "windless night" cost of $161-$273 which compares unfavourably with coal ($65-$152) and very unfavourably with gas combined cycle ($45-$74).

X11 doesn't provide anything for opening a file dialog. afaik you have to just call GTK-specific things to achieve that (hell there's a C library specifically for just opening a file/folder open/save dialog). X11 itself doesn't provide that much beyond opening & managing windows (and the copy&paste mess it provides is, well, a mess.)

It would be such a gift at current share price. But Rosneft will probably become much cheaper.

1. Their current production capacity in Russia will decline, since they won’t be able to receive new equipment and spare parts.

2. Their exports capacity may be reduced if more sanctions will come.

3. Their cashflow will be heavily impacted by sanctions. They may not be able to receive money or spend them on domestic market (eg pay salaries).

4. Their foreign investments may be frozen or they may be forced to sell.

I'm actually pretty progressive and do sometimes leave my sweater on after taking walk and turn the thermostat down.

However I have a bunch of other "personal comfort issues", related to health. so often leave the heat at seventy while I deal with these.

But even more, I do think the "liberal spirit" of trying to solve or pretending you can solve social or environmental issues with exhortations to individual action is reactionary in the end. The only solution to global warming or pollution or etc is action by the state involving the regulation of private enterprises. These "if we all consumed less" positions are kind of the flip side of telling people who make minimum wage they're poor 'cause they drink a soda at lunch or have netflix etc.

Edit: TL;DR; Exploring what you're comfortable with is a good, even suggesting other explore this good. But the spirit of "the problem is you-all consumer too much" is problematic.
An awful lot of people never expected it to get this far. They expected it to be a threat to achieve concessions.

The actual attack forces a very broad reconceptualization of how Russia intends to relate to the rest of the world. It is much more hostile than their previous incursions, because this was someone the West considered an ally and possibly even a NATO member. This is incredibly dangerous in a way nobody expected them to risk.
Canada Has a Railroad for Fish That's Only 200 Feet Long
I started cold water sea swimming a few years ago. I always surfed and
canoed in the summer, but started staying in the water through the
winter (sometimes with 5mm wetsuit) . Where I am in the UK the winter
temperature is about 7 degrees at the shoreline. I know nothing about
genetics, in general or about my own genealogy, but apparently it can
increase "brown fat" in some people, which burns energy in a different
way. Maybe this ability is within all of us and can be switched on?
Anyway I have found it easier to manage my weight as a result of cold
water exercise.
And there were lots of little gotchas from Y2K that actually did manifest when they concerned dates in the future. Nothing spectacular, just wrong answers. "Expired" stuff being thrown away, improper cost projections etc.
The ‘simple’ answer is for Ukrainians to universally take up arms and repel Russia.

Russia will either have to capitulate (which will likely result in Putin’s ousting and likely death), or get stuck in a intractable guerilla war that will be quickly impossible to prosecute due to economic issues.

It’s very, very unlikely Putin or anyone else could nuke the Ukraine due to both proximity, cultural history, and lack of any conceivable threat from Ukraine that could justify it.

Even obliterating Kiev through traditional means would be very, very difficult to do - it has a lot of history for Russia and many Russians have strong emotional ties there. Desertions, defections, and insubordination would be difficult to counter.

It will cost lives, but all available options will. That Russia has been pretty blatant here will make it easier than if they’d been subtle.
Once you take money, you are running a business (even if you mislabel the money as a donation). That means having to register with the tax authorities, adding a ton of accounting related overhead and very likely spending money on all of that overhead (e.g. when hiring an accountant to offload some of the overhead).

At some point you realize that you have to ramp your business up, just so it pays for the cost of accepting money. Then it's no longer a side project.

I'll just leave this here:

About the ReactOS on Steam Deck bit: I'd suspect that this might be a bit too much for what looks like a fragile peace between Microsoft and Valve. Doing Deck on Linux is one thing (in the days of Linux on Azure it can't be much of a provocation), but ReactOS could still be too much I think. "If you want Windows, ask us for a good offer!" Technically Proton on Linux might be very similar (even the same code in key parts?), but on a subjective level, I could easily see one trigger a red line reaction the other would not.
Videos show Ukrainian forces repel Russian advance towards strategic airfield
> Sidenote: I don't want to support Ukrainian government but ordinary civilians. Judging from all I know, Russia are the 'bad guys' but all my information comes from western media so it is likely biased. Thus, I do not want to support any kind of war actions in itself, I rather want to help people that have to suffer from the consequences.

It has proven to have bias in previous wars, and up to the pandemic. Truth is the first casualty of war. I suggest looking at alternative media (hard to do in EU without VPN) and extrapolating. It's unfortunate that normal people must now waste their efforts into researching history, just as countless months were wasted (for people whose background was other than bio) in the pandemic to research biology.

As to your question, there's no doubt organizations such as Red cross and EU (and even the Americas) will have another flood of refugees.
So who decides what a propaganda outlet is? Some was fox news is one. Some say MSNBC is propaganda. And some say all major news channels allow the narrative to be shifted by outside powers, and therefore qualify as propaganda
Well, somebody can just falsify that claim by posting some well known excellent scientific research written by business school academics.
I’m worried about the longevity of Apple keyboards…
It sounds like their biggest complaint is that the compensation vests too quickly, which means Tim Cook doesn't have an incentive to set Apple up for long term success. They want the vesting to be longer to incentivize him.

But given that his net worth is already $2B, most of which is Apple stock, it seems like he's already incentivized to set Apple up for long term success, one because he has so much stock, and two because he's clearly not working for the comp, but for the love of the game.
It’s Germany’s choice. I’m not rationing anything because they chose a course of action with predictable consequences.

They made their clean energy bed, and lectured everyone else on it, they can lie in it.

That configuration would be at the terminal level, but it would potentially need to be different for each program. The default ls colours are fine, and i don't want to change them, but the colours in our internal package management tool are broken, and i do.

Given the existence of shell pipelines, i might even want different palettes within a single stream of output, so this mapping couldn't even be done by hooking command execution to apply a different mapping in the terminal.

And a big company dumping their sales on the market would add further downward pressure.

It’s really odd this threads insistence that shares are going to be “given” back to the company as the story doesn’t say that and it’s not what it typically means to exit a position.
That seems like a great starting place.

The various Nix recommendations also appear to be in the same spirit of essentially starting from scratch.
Even by the standards of someone on a forum commenting on what they want to be reality instead of actual reality this is a ridiculous statement.
Understanding and Exploiting Optimal Function Inlining [pdf]
When I came back from paternity leave with my first child, I told my boss I really wanted to go part time, and he supported me. Google had a standard easy of doing it, so it was just a matter of getting approval up to VP level, which went pretty smoothly.

When I applied to transfer to Makani, we negotiated a bit, and decided that I'd go up to 80% because I really wanted the job and they apparently really wanted me.

With Elemeno, I was already advising the company when I left Makani. I got a layoff package and didn't need paying for a while, and they couldn't afford me anyway. So we decided I'd help them temporarily until they could afford a full time engineer, and they paid me in stock and minimum wage. After about 18 months our agreement expired just as my COBRA was running out. I helped them draft a requisition for my replacement, but it didn't really make sense. For a bit more than they were paying me for 2 days a week, they'd maybe have been able to hire someone with a year's experience who'd be getting less done in their 5 days a week. So I switched to salary+benefits (some of the salary going to pay the other 60% of the health insurance) and that's worked great ever since, even now that we've been able to afford more full time engineers.

Incidentally, we're hiring for a number of areas right now, including engineering. We're aiming for full time, but it is a very flexible, diverse, and family friendly workplace.

You could Google solutions very easily but I suspect if you can’t do fizzbuzz you couldn’t explain those solutions very well.

I see fizzbuzz as a basic test to see if one can synthesize basic programming concepts and implement something that works. Explaining the first few elements on an html5 document is more like asking if you have definitions memorized in my opinion.
New information arrive every few minutes.

Russians made war trick - they just move large military forces through Chernobyl zone, because nobody believe they will.

And defenders of Chernobyl zone tried to stop invade, so there were battles.
And territory very large and on most even nobody care about pollution, just prohibited entry.

So battle/explosions/fires, rise large amounts of polluted dust, and sensors register that.

At the moment zone occupied by Russians, and communications cut, so no more info from there.
There is a lot wrong with todays scientific publishing industry. But this does not mean that their service should be free.

Access to research is one thing, organising the review process, print layout, marketing another. Most researchers I know share their preprints for free. But the final peer reviewed & laid out product has added value.

The problem is the inflated price that researchers have allowed to be charged for their own product. Partly because many care more about their publication list than about anything else.

Rather than downloading illicit copies out of convenience, one should download preprints, engage in their discussion, seek out open peer review, share personal copies of peer reviewed papers, and contact other researchers for their papers.

We need to build a community of researchers if we want to take the greedy publishers out of the equation.
I don't understand the whole thing. Instead of working on getting game developers releasing their game to run natively on Linux, people are doing brokenly trying to get things run on Linux with a pile of crap.
I introduced this service a year ago, announced on HN:

https://typicalprogrammer.com/isodd-as-a-service

https://hn.algolia.com/?q=iseven+web+service

I’m talking to my lawyers about what looks like isevenapi.xyz stealing my idea and intellectual property. I may open source the code we developed for iseven and isodd as web services.

Unfortunately after a year I had to shut the service down because my funds ran out and two of the original developers left to form their own company focused on isNaN and isEmptyString as web services.

It was quite a startup journey, I learned a lot from the failure that will guide me in future startup ventures. I plan to write a complete post-mortem with the lessons learned so keep any eye out.
He has an episode in which he absolutely mangles his pizza and it looks horrendous.

He literally says while recording "Doesn't matter, still pizza. Actually, that's what I'm going to name this episode."

It doesn't matter that it was very not Instagram-worthy. What matters is that it's still pizza and he's still going to feed his family with it.
Keystone XL could be approved that would help the US with more supply freeing transport by other methods for Europe.

I’d be willing to ration if there was movement on energy security. If our leaders don’t want to increase supply I’m not really interested.
I don't really disagree with any of this, so I guess that's confirmation that you did see my point.

Certainly, the fact that solar and wind are sure things right now warrants massive investment. Just throwing endless gobs of money at a problem that's as-yet unsolved doesn't necessarily lead to good outcomes, it also takes directed goals and all that. That's in theory what ITER is all about, though I think the slowness with which it got started will hamper it and we'll see success on other projects before it even gets to the testing phase. It was an attempt to create a moonshot that kinda failed, but the private sector seems more interested now so it might not matter.

That said I'd actually be surprised if there isn't already much more than $200bil going into building out solar capacity worldwide. It's just not easily enumerated because it's not special anymore, and a lot of it is on small scales (ie. I'm gonna install about $20k of solar panels to my home this spring and I'm not alone, but it's hard to tell how much that adds up to).
Those don't say that NATO should directly attack Russian forces, and that the risk of nuclear war is overblown and NATO should ignore it. If I'm missing something, please provide a quote.

Based on what I've read and on a lot of such reading in my past, I'm pretty confident nobody credible is saying anything like that.
