Counterpoint: Amethyst is not great but it's also not Amethyst's fault. It does the best it can with MacOS's limited API support (really, using "accessibility" APIs, not windowing). Compared to i3 and other "standard" tiling WMs, you can't even really call it a tiling WM.

- The shortcuts are hot garbage

- Excessive windowing chrome everywhere takes up screen real estate

- Tree hierarchy of windows/containers (e.g. horizontal box of vertical boxes of windows) is not possible/practical

- Responsiveness to manual window manipulation is not great.

I keep it installed because MacOS's default keyboard support for windowing is far worse, borderline unusable compared to Linux options. It sets the wrong expectations to talk about Amethyst (or MacOS in general) in the context of tiling WMs.

Where does all this maddness come from? Airborn assault on Moscow?

There is so much hate and bad ideas flowing around now it is scary.

My long term worry is that this war will culturally and economically isolate russians and that that was Putin's plan all along.

My take is that this is a counterpoint to the dominant media narrative that covid and lockdowns have been detrimental to the mental heath of nearly every child, usually based on anecdata. So even if these results _aren't_ different from a normal year, that's still meaningful.

I think this is the crux of their conclusions too:

>>The US and NATO could trivially cripple Russia's army in the field.

The USA has not fought an symmetric war since WW2.

Russian has some of the most advanced surface to air missile technology in the world, capable of denying NATO air power from operating effectively. Russians S400 missiles can detect and take out even F35s. A direct air assault like you saw in 1990s Iraq war would be suicide.

You would be looking at defeating 100,000+ soldiers equipped with armored vehicles and tanks with primarily ground forces. This is not the kind of scenario we want to see.

NATO article 5 is a meaningless piece of paper in and of itself if the will to retaliate isn't present and we will only find out about that at the moment someone wants it invoked. I would not necessarily bet on knowing how that ends. The response against what happened just now is underwhelming, and the various investments in fomenting nationalism/isolationism may well pay off. These are very dangerous times.

Yes, they could have rewritten their stack and used different technology on server and client.

Instead, this blog post shows they made small changes that resulted in a much better performing site with less server resources needed.

The idea of dropping server side rendering if the site is temporary overloaded is a good one that you can’t do if built in Java, .Net and Go.

That's how democracies work, and they can't work any other way.

I mean think it through: if what you say must be avoided, then no country could go to war, even to defend others, unless more than half the population was enlisted in a ponderously oversized military.

I use a password manager and would recommend you to do so too. Depending on a SSO provider just seems to risky to me right now, considering how easily you might lose access to your account. Of course, you also need to use your own domain for your email address.

2FA is also something I keep thinking about. What if I lose access to my phone? Does it really make logins more secure, considering that all my passwords are uniquely generated for a service? Do I want to do the extra step?
Not sure if this was really because of the pandemic but for me the last 3 years have been life changing in a positive way. A feeling of "not beeing the only one feeling lonely sometimes" I think helped for sure.

He has a lot to lose.

Putin is not all powerful, no leader ever is. He has to face realities of the situation, and also populism at home.

And he has a lot to lose, this is a risky manoeuvre. If Russia fails in it's publicly stated objective it will look really bad on him and Russia. Russia could feasibly fail entirely and lose some occupied territory. Unlikely, but it could happen. And then there's the 'overhead' cost of economic disruption.

If the Ukranians can hold off the main thrust of the attack, and especially if Russians start to come back in body bags - he will lose the momentum and have to make serious adjustments.

This is 'extremely expensive' for him in every way: political, populist, economic to conduct such operations and he can't do it for very long.

Or if they do actually 'win' and but then Urkanians can mount material insurgent attacks, it won't work.

Russian Oligarchs just had their wealth cut in half (they are pissed), a lot of Russians will be facing financial pressures, they were never really behind this war in the first place - this will take it's toll at home.

Russia lost 6 fixed wing and 3 or 4 rotary wing just this morning - that's not a good start and if those loses continue at that rate he won't be able to keep it up - he can't risk his Air Force for Ukraine.

Ukranians have 1K+ Javelin and hundreds of Stinger missiles. Those weapons do not require central coordination and can nullify air support and amour advantages, which makes it an ugly ground fight which will be bloody, and it's possible Russians don't have the veracity to fight. Russians soldiers are doing it 'because it's a job' - not because their homeland is under threat.

Russian paratroopers have taken Kyiv Airport this morning, but they are alone without armour or real support, Ukranians shot down 3 of their transport craft. It's entirely feasible that Ukranians take back that airport .

Although it would be risky, the West, particularly could cause serious damage to Russian forces in Ukraine.

I don't really think Ukraine will hold out, but they definitely could and Russia will have to eventually withdraw in some way.

My guess is that he would mostly withdraw to the Donbas region and then make some kind of 'declaration of objectives met' and then sue for a truce, making permanent claims to Donbas recognized by the West (which won't happen, but his claims will make him appear strong).

Thing is, if you don't want to go for Global Nuclear War from the start, then you have to apply graduated sanctions. If you pile in with maximum sanctions as soon as the first bullet is fired, then you no longer have any purchase.

Suppose you apply maximum sanctions over Ukraine? What do you do when Russia decides to attack Poland?
> They aren't the first to be let down by an agreement with the west, only the latest.

Why are you singling out "the west"?!? AIUI, Russia also signed that agreement.
"Bent" meaning in their intentions. Opening up to China was always meant to show them that capitalism was to everyone's advantage and that in a few decades they'd trend away from authoritarianism naturally. That absolutely hasn't happened. They are not the same country as they were 30 years ago but in many ways they are much worse.

Why is it a "tired trope" to say that you should not be asking other people to do things that you yourself would not?
True. But a democratic President may not still be President by the time it progresses. The problem is Putin can gamble on nobody willing to shaft their own career/party to oppose him.
Also, must-be in the list (even though not a news site):

I think the risk of direct NATO military intervention is very low, due to Ukraine not being a member state. As the Nato secretary said, they will support Ukraine, but made it clear the security guarantees are only for allies.

"I think also that we need to realize that Ukraine is a highly valued partner. We support them with military support, with political support, with the cyber defences, with equipment. Different Allies provide different types of support.
But when it comes to NATO Allies, we provide absolute security guarantees. Meaning that we make it absolutely clear that an attack on one Ally will trigger a response from the whole Alliance. One-for-all. All-for-one."

I had this mind as I wrote up my post but didn't mention it because I didn't consider the nuclear option as a serious option. Or maybe I'm just optimistic/delusional.

But how would the nuclear option play out?

Here I am, a Russian oligarch. I ordered the Ukrainian invasion because I bet that NATO wouldn't intervene because of my nukes. But it turns out I was wrong and NATO is pushing back my invasion.

So I fire some nukes.

But then they fire nukes back at me.

> types were not remotely the most common type of problem I ever ran into, and certainly not "every" bug.

If you took that away from what I wrote, I apologize. I meant that without a compiler and type-checker, you would only find bugs at runtime. In my experience, the vast majority of these would be easily discovered by a compiler. Presumably that experience is shared by Ruby devs since they're now adding type-checking.

> This hasn't been a serious problem in a decade.

That may be true. I haven't had any need to revisit Ruby or Rails since I moved to Go. But it was a serious problem with no workaround, and I've never encountered any scenario like that since switching to Go.
Makes complete sense to me - I was able to focus on doing my best work, and really fell in love with Computer Science for the first time.

> Perhaps, but the way the last cold war ended was by economic collapse. The warrior cultists needed somebody feeding and arming them, so they needed an economy, and their economy wasn't up to the task. I'm pretty sure the folks pushing the sanctions understand this.

Except currently Europe desperately needs oil and gas from Russia.

> Also, you could choose more neutral labels. The point of the egalitarians isn't that people should be soft but that people have rights even if they can't defend them.

It was partly irony, partly an attempt to show how we (West) could be seen from their (Warrior) side. Because Warrior clan's people deeply despise the other ones.

> And really Putin believes this too, he just ignores this when convenient. He isn't okay with harms done to Russia when it was weak. If he really accepted this warrior ethos, he would think they were perfectly fine. Russia couldn't defend its interests, so it deserved whatever it got.

If your friend is badly beaten physically, you do not leave this friend behind to die because he is a weakling, you help him heal his wounds and make revenge later. If your friend has became weak emotionally, than it is time to dump or even kill him because of mercy. Because true strength of the Warrior lies in his spirit first and in its body second.

Russia in 90s was very weak economically, but spiritually was at its peak of Warrior (or bidlo/gopnik) ethos.

It seems the presence of the furin cleavage site in any other Coronavirus would be enough to invalidate this paper’s comparison to pure random chance.

Why would the authors misuse statistics comparing this to random chance when there are published examples of the furin cleavage site appearing elsewhere? It doesn’t make any sense.

The author seems to admit in the comments that he made the whole thing up?
There's no country like Russia that is accepting such high risk. Russia is a dictatorship. It's Putin taking risks to settle old scores that he feels weren't addressed when the Soviet union collapsed as a way to distract from Russia's severe internal problems.

Putin sees the west as weak. Germany has a new leader. France is about to have elections. The UK is still dealing with Brexit. The EU is fractured with Poland and Hungary and has no out. The US is so divided that a previous president is encouraging Putin to invade and the current president is likely to lose the House and the Senate very shortly.

This is the perfect time if you believe the west is weak. The problem is that what's next on the menu (maybe after Moldova? But that's not very tasty, sorry friends!) Are all NATO members.

And.. Putin lives in the echo chamber you create when you're a dictator who regularly throws people out of windows to their death. He might decide it's time to test NATO. And that's world war territory.

But you'll always be lost if you assume there is a them. There's no them. There's Putin. Read his speech from last night, this thinking and desires are very clear.

The stress and desperation I couldn’t put to good use to help instead manifested itself in laser focused game performance…

If Putin had a lot to lose he would not have started this war to begin with, it is an act of desperation, not one of power.

> isn't NATO reaching Russian borders a threat?

No. NATO is a defensive alliance. Easter European countries are in NATO specifically to protect against the kind of aggression you're seeing in Ukraine now.

Russia used to regularly invade neighbors: Poland 1939, Romania, Baltic countries, Finland 1940, Everywhere 1944, Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968. None have been invaded since joining NATO.

NATO expansion is removing threats, not creating them.

The point was that the furin cleavage site does appear in other Coronaviruses, and therefore it’s not a random appearance in this one.

The specific details of the paper you’re nit-picking aren’t relevant. The sequence either appears elsewhere or it doesn’t, but it clearly appears elsewhere in Coronaviruses.

Therefore, comparing the appearance of the sequence in another Coronavirus to random chance is a flawed comparison.

Basically all companies should seize any economic activity in Russia and with Russia. And all of the properties of Russian companies should be nationalized by respective countries and all Russian citizens involved in ownership of those should have their visas revoked and be deported.
