i wouldnt be surprised if russia cuts off oil and gas to europe due to the sanctions imposed.

im not sure consumer rationing is gonna solve this problem. but i could be wrong.
I see.

Whay I fail to still see is how it in any shape or form justifies what Putin is doing.
The article was a relatively entertaining description of some psychological but for me there’s a more important reason I buy more than in planned for, IKEA’s design is quite good.

I fall into the “IKEA as Disneyland” camp. For me there’s tons of inspiration from their designs and layouts that I wouldn’t have thought about on my own —- this is particularly true for organization and maximizing utility in small spaces.

Most people are not professional interior designers so it helps to draw inspiration from professionals. If left on their own the things people “think they need” is far less than the things they actually need — people need more, and that’s not a bad thing. I’m not talking about over the top consumerism or aimlessly amassing stuff. I’m certain this is a lot of appeal to shows on HGTV. You see how they design something similar to your house then steal the ideas.

I’m also attracted to their minimalistic design. Simple designs and neutral colors never seems to go out of style and blend well with everything. Given IKEAs diversity the same products are sold around the world —- Europe, Japan, America —- so they need a timeless and borderless approach. I’ve probably bought far less from IKEA because I never feel the design is old.

I also like the little stories about they inspiration for design. The article mentions how cheap product make IKEA seems like a bargain but even the cheap stuff is well thought out. One designer commented that the plush toys don’t have plastic eyes, they are all stitched / embroidered. The designer realized this after seeing a child with a stuffed animal that only had one eye. The designer thought no child’s toy should eyeless and fixed try problem.

IKEA isn’t the only store where good design sells products. Muji is another. I almost always walk out of there buying more than planned. I think it’s easy to attribute this to psychological manipulation but sometimes making a better product and demonstrating how he utility is the real secret sauce.

For people interested in design, particularly the theory side, check out the work by Kenya Hara, the design director for Muji.
I’m trying to understand what you’re trying to say, but I can’t. Nuclear is shut down because of some platonic ideal of what ‘Fukushima’ may mean, and not by their perceived threat? And German car manufacturers building ICE has what relation to that? And then you swivel to electric cars?

>But the IKEA hate seems mostly based on snobbery and/or brand awareness.

I have one and only one reason for hating IKEA, before IKEA furniture was delivered fully built, then IKEA disrupted the market by having people build their own stuff, which, among other things, allowed them to be significantly cheaper. Now, at least were I live you can't have furniture delivered pre-built (unless you buy antiques) but you can hire a handyman to come build it for more than the price difference was between unbuilt and built before IKEA came to dominate.

Aside from that I understand text better than I understand graphics so I am always at a disadvantage dealing with IKEA build instructions, having to go through the drawings 4-5 times trying to identify where two pieces look almost exactly the same but have a significant little difference that must be paid attention to - something they could easily do with a single sentence on the relevant pages describing the differences.

Actually then I guess I have two reasons I hate IKEA.
I would say it should be "total" rather than "random". This regime has shown that it is an existential threat to world stability and must be eliminated. Putin has been pushing boundaries for years and it's time for an end to their reign.
Individual events can be reported inaccurately, this is understandable.
I'd like to see it go a step further: brain drain Russia again, as happened after the fall of the USSR. Poach the talent.

Russia has plenty of brilliant, highly skilled people. Get as many of them to abandon the nation as possible (and make their journey to a new home as easy as possible). The US, EU and their allies can easily make this happen.

Confronting Russia obviously has to be a many front effort. Oil and gas are valuable resources, yes, and they get a lot of attention in terms of how to best constrain Russia. A well organized brain drain against the Russian economy would also hurt enormously across the next decade.
You don’t have to follow the entire designated route. I just look at the map and use the built-in short cuts. I go when it’s not busy. I get in and get out easily.
With all due respect i still dont see hatred in all this.

I suspect the americans had to take a lot of money from their schools to finance the marshall plan and the reconstruction of germany.

The british has a lot to spent yet they are rallying around the troops and telling their citizens their security starts in the forests of latvia and lithuania.

The east europeans have yet again money to take from schools to spend defending against russia and essentially shielding germany.

I think many germans are feeling pressure for the first time in their lives, and for the first time in modern german history they have to sacrifice comfort in order to do their part.

I agree its a sacrifice but i dont agree its the end of germany. If anything germany will come out stronger. A secure and stable east europe is directly in the benefit of germany.

Anyway i still dont see hatred, or injustice made to germany. No one’s threatening germany with sanctions, as it so often happens to east eu countries when they are out of line, and no one is saying germans are bad.

There is no contradiction in saying germany is great while saying germany can move faster. Just like i see no harm in your comment - indeed germany needs to take its time, its fine.

I am sorry if anything i wrote makes you think there is anti german sentiment - there is none!
In the past we saw how decades of nuclear tension passed by without a single bomb dropping.

I don't think anyone has a real appetite for nuclear war.
> Let’s say there are 2 cabinets for sale: a $40 budget unit, and an $80 unit with more premium materials. Ikea might create a 3rd unit — one that offers neither the low price of the budget unit, nor the premium materials of the pricier unit — to make the others look better.

I strongly suspect I'm the chump who buys the 3rd unit.
I love people with that level of mastery. It's sad that so many choose to retire. Those who dive deep into their craft seem to reach such incredible levels of skill.
There is no real fear of nuclear apocalypse when a nuclear power attacks a non-nuclear power (especially one that doesn’t have a binding defense agreement automatically activated upon attack/invasion w/ a nuclear power); we’ve seen the US do that with impunity and no repercussions. Risk of nuclear annihilation only comes when one nuclear power attacks another.
Playing armchair general here, but I wonder what's the playbook if Russia decides to conduct a nuclear weapon "experiment".
Despite high interest in learning to program, I was confused and bored in my first (FORTRAN) programming course. Browsing at the local bookstore I found 'The FORTRAN Coloring Book' and took it home. Kaufman's approach unlocked some kind of door for me, and the effort of going to find my own resources did as well. Forty years on, 'The Fortran Coloring Book' sits on the shelf next to 'Software Tools in Pascal' (same bookstore a few months later) and many of the other books listed in this thread (e.g. TAOCP, SICP, UPE, OSTEP.)

Thank god. Finally someone proved that nuclear is safe and no accidents can happen.
How can MEGA decrypt those "publicly shared" files to scan them? Do you think they should scan whole internet for such file links?
Your nostril length is absolutely relevant. Maybe not by the time it gets to your lungs, but it for sure causes problems for the sensitive tissues inside the nose.

"Such a nose is unsuited for cold countries as it permits masses of cold air to flood the air passages and irritate the lining membrane, so that the nose must be large and have much warming surface, and the nostrils therefore are slender slits to admit air in thin ribbons easily warmed."

When I began programming it was a book I respected. I read it twice.

But today it is a book I see with flaws. I think it is a dated book, made for an era changed by web development, agile and functional languages. My criticisms:

* It worries too much about little details on verbose object oriented languages (Java, C++). It is overly obsessed about ahead planning.

* it established myths that I am not sure to be true (cone of uncertainty, orders of magnitude different productivity among programmers).

* it failed to understand the agile philosophy and why it's ideas generate more adaptable software

I think Pragmatic Programmer is a more interesting book.
"overly descriptive" as in "attach a random adjective" to each colour:

- "undiagnosed light indigo".

- "sporocystic deep pink", where sporocyst means a resting cell that produces asexual plant spores.

- "biparous orangish", where biparous means birthing two young at a time.
More positive news is that 2 oligarchs close to Putin made public statement against the war:

Mikhail Fridman : https://www.ft.com/content/9b3ab6bb-f782-43fb-8afc-42d937147...

Oleg Deripaska : https://t.me/olegderipaska/372

I guess that sanctions are effective after all.

There is very little mention of the Russian perspective in Western sources. That, and the fact that all the major Western news sources show heartbreaking photographs of children, lead me to believe that an agenda is being pushed.
Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach - This is my all time favourite math book. It teaches Linear algebra in very intuitive manner. Along the pure math side it also gives examples of the introduced concepts from Physics, Machine learning etc... You can buy new one on [author's own publishing company](https://matrixeditions.com/5thUnifiedApproach.html).

I own Spivak's Calculus (which is a great book), but if you are not interested in the pure math side or you just don't want to grind a 700 page tome I recommend Calculus made easy. Contrary to the title and the small size of this book, it's an amazing and intuitive. When I read Calculus Made Easy I also read Infinite powers by Steven Strogratz they complete each other very well.

I have a copy of "The Art of Probability: For Scientists and Engineers" by Hamming it's a really good book.

If you are interested in Bayesian probability, machine learning or information theory I recommend "Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms" by MacKay it's an amazing book. It's available as in PDF format on the author's website.
Another book along the same vein is Introduction to Logic, Sets , and Relations by
Nancy Rodgers is a beautifully written book.
The impressive thing about this article for me is that it applies to any of their stores around the world. It doesn't matter if you are in Hong Kong, Sweden, the US or a small province in Italy: the layout is really always the same.
You should doubt announcements from all sides at this stage. Wait a few days or weeks for some facts to emerge, with no expectation that they will be what you hope for. And for many things, we will never know.
They also design their manuals in a way to save money: they don’t need to get them translated and printed in a dozen languages
I don't expect this to be a complete solution, but I am also very fearful that things will get shut off.

People are talking about this threat, but mostly to express despair. I'm trying to rally support and action ahead of the chaos that will ensue when things get shut off if there isn't a plan.

Starting grassroots I'm hoping will increase the chances people are willing to accept rationing. Governments won't be able to convince their people to hold firm against Russia and tolerate mass shortages suddenly given what I'm perceiving as a deficit of real support and widespread action right now.
The argument I always hear is DI makes your code more testable.

Which is probably true in some cases, but I find most of my code is pretty testable without it. Haven't run into any tests I've wanted to build where I couldn't.
There's nothing special about DI frameworks there. If a client library has some sane defaults preferred by the devs, then call a constructor that sets the defaults for you. You don't need DI for that.

IME at tech megacorps, DI just obfuscates and distracts, shifting the focus onto understanding the accidental complexity it introduces instead of dealing with the intrinsic complexity of the dependency relationships.
same way ive been living.
Code Complete has chapters on classes, functions, then several chapters on statements and several on variables. McConnell also refers to studies throughout - for example, he says studies show it is not necessarily that long functions are bad in and of themselves, but that the longer a function is, the more odds it will introduce more variables, and using too many variables in one function is bad. Somewhat dry, academic, great detail about the topics I mentioned with references to studies.

I also like Clean Code by Bob Martin. It covers similar ground to Code Complete but it is more opinionated, and was an easy read for me and has a narrative drive. As opposed to the more academic Code Complete which covers things thoroughly, and with references to studies. Both are good books, covering similar ground, I like them both.
Nice, already on second gen without releasing first gen at all, just like their discrete GPUs.
If you call IKEA furniture cardboard then you’ve clearly never bought any. I’m sure you can find stuff they sell that’s composite (I’d assume desks) but you’d have to look. Everything I have from IKEA is real wood, it’s cheap lightweight wood, but it’s wood.

IKEA’s value prop is that for the same price as places like Wayfair you get a little better quality, the stuff looks good together in a house, and it’s not offensively designed or chugey.

I don't think it's a problem we can solve. If we ever solve aging we'll get up to so much other malarkey that we're bound to die some other way, and not much later than if we'd died of old age.

Personally, I'd rather enjoy old age and go out suddenly than spend the last 20 or 30 so years of my life slowly crumbling to death, so addressing the diseases of aging is a worthwhile endeavor.
So, in this context, transistor-level simulation does not mean actually simulating transistors (voltages, currents, doping, etc)?
> What does dependency injection give you that a simple combination of Singletons, Constructors, and Factories doesn't?

Easy refactoring of an interface/constructor? I've been using go for a while, and I decided to follow the advise of not using a DI for my project. Every time I refactor a constructor, it is a fun hunt to make the same changes everywhere I'm using that constructor.
I agree to an extent, but the matter involved on this planet is finite, the added entropy it can handle is finite. Our power consumption is growing exponentially and that has to stop at some point or we will just cook. We will find new resources like clean fusion energy, but that won't let us sink more heat. We worried about food back in the 70s but then we got better at agriculture, except it isn't sustainable what we do to boost the yields, the soil is getting used up. We can do better, but there are simply limits, and with no deaths we will find them much sooner. We will have to expand off earth, which is another seemingly impossible problem, or stop our growth, which isn't technologically difficult, but apparently socially impossible.
i dont know that people will have a choice when it comes to tolerating mass shortages.

people are so used to comfort. i wouldnt want to see the situation in which that comfort is cut off. so i applaud your intentions.

maybe europe should build some more solar and wind farms.
You can reassemble them with some extra mix of PVA and/or epoxy/wood shavings to fill in. Ikea furniture is easy to repair
Where did I claim that? What does “freedom” mean to you? Freedom from consequences?
Dont we all love free political discourse? Calling each other names doesnt equal to hatred. Thats how europeans do. We love throwing insults at each other. Dont tell me there are no germans calling greeks lazy yet they bear the burden of their own mistakes?

I think its a bit hypocritical to claim germany is a victim. Arent germans all too happy to welcome refugees against eu member state concerns yet when east europeans travel to germany for work they are looked down upon? Aren’t germans all too happy to point out how lame all of these other eu countries are when they make mistakes?

We can spin in circles all day long and the only conclusion i can draw is that europeans replaced wars with insults and thats ok. I prefer this over invasions.
So your thesis is that now, Russia is a land of superior standard of living, where milk and honey flow, but if one could finally make that stop and make citizens struggle after an external force has taken away their good economy, then the Putins would just disappear and everyone would live happily ever after?

> Truss seems to be saying that the UK government wouldn't support prosecutions, but that's not the same as it being legal.

Depends on the position one takes in philosophy of law and jurisprudence. From a legal realist perspective, it is the same, because an unenforced law is not a law at all.

> And prosecution decisions are made independently by the CPS, not the government.

The UK government has the power to overrule the CPS and discontinue any prosecution, through the Attorney-General’s power of nolle prosequi. That legal procedure is rarely used, because generally if the Attorney-General merely privately threatens the CPS with use of this power, that is enough for them to back down and discontinue a prosecution.

A real world example is when the government pressured the SFO to discontinue prosecution of bribery charges relating to defence industry deals with Saudi Arabia, on the grounds that the prosecution would harm the UK’s relationship with that country.

If the UK government clearly communicates a policy that UK citizens are allowed to fight for the Ukrainian government, there is zero chance of the CPS prosecuting any of them for doing so. The CPS would likely not even have to be threatened, their “public interest” determination is supposed to show deference to the government’s foreign policy, they’d drop the idea all on their own.
what will europe do if/when russia cuts off oil and gas in retaliation for sanctions?
By that logic, Russia would be the one receiving nominal Western support since it carries out ethnic cleansings (with relative impunity) against Georgians and possibly now Ukrainians, who must be "less white" than Russians on most scales. Also, Ukraine was already gradually descending into chaos because superpowers were playing ridiculous games like they do in the Middle East despite lacking the usual justifications used for the War on Terror.

Not sure what you compare, solid wood assembled with PVA and joints is not a subject of any disassembly method at all.
This is likely China covering up their tracks.

What do you think it's the more likely source?
The Wuhan coronavirus research center doing gain of function research with American money or a the nearby fish market?
If you think it's the local fish market, what's the probability that it would have happened in that specific fish market next to a coronavirus research center vs any other fish market in China?

Besides, people are bored of COVID and care only about Ukraine. That explains the delta in points.
The statement from Oleg Deripaska is ambiguous.

Perhaps have you read Baudrillard (specifically, Symbollic Exchange and Death)?

He talks precisely about this problem: that by rejecting death and segregating it from life, we end up immortalizing death and suffer from this distinction. And this ontological paradox ultimately encompasses every aspect of Western society: not only how we treat the dead (rise of suicides and euthanasia, and our reaction to it), and soon-to-be-dead (the elderly abandoned in nursing houses), but also the functions of Capital and labour, the breaking down of social democracy, the ever-increasing opposition between the State and terrorism, and the eventual rise of fascism (the perverse aestheticization of death).

All of this is quite complex and I can't do justice here in this single comment, but I highly recommend it if you haven't read it. (I personally think this is Baudrillard's magnum opus, whereas most people only remember him for the book Simulacra and Simulation and the concept of hyper-reality.)

I learned assembly from a French translation of this book! It was in 80 or 81.
Your tone is overly dismissive. If you want to be constructive then have a constructive conversation and not a dismissive knee jerk reaction. Your comment reads like “I haven’t read a standard for this or bothered to really take a look and it’s new therefore it’s fundamentally bad and insecure and not worth my time”. This repo is simply proposing using signed timestamps for auth. It would be nice to keep the discussion on that topic and it’s merits. Personally I think webauthn is not too complex and just needs to not be locked up in browser land so we can have a real softkey impl so we probably actually agree on our general outlook. You’re just kind a being a security diva about the whole thing and it’s not really fair to the author.
