Are you sure? What is the source of that belief? Russians? The same Russians that repeatedly claimed that Ukraine will not be invaded?

They have nukes. Even if Germany would get back to WW II levels of aggression and army size then invading Russia would work even less than in WW II.

It's not propaganda that the sanctions have deprived them of food. It's the real actuality.
Ukraine and US is a different story then Tawain and US. For Taiwan the US promised to protect it from any China intervention, so they will help. Nobody gave these promises to Ukraine
Wasn't a NATO action. Was a split second decision by Erdoga so he can play his power games.
This might be an unpopular opinion obviously being part of the l'occident world but NATO/US alignment of conflicting regional interests of EU members dependant on Russia's energy goods might be to blame.

Eastern portion of Ukraine is heavily in favor of joining Russia as most speak Russian while he central and western parts want to join the EU but this is largely a one sided love affair. EU has repeatedly stalled and delayed Ukraine's membership seeing that it would be the second poorest member state after Greece, and thus would be against the interest of Germany, who stand to gain a lot by using Russia's gas pipeline.

Enter Maidan revolution, while not outright instigated by the US, one does raise questions about the role of Facebook in previous revolutions namely the Arab Spring movement, Syrian rebellion, etc, and how quickly they were able to spread a the Maidan propaganda that EU/NATO membership was imminent when it couldn't be further from the truth.

The 2014 invasion was relatively well restrained campaign at reminding who the master of Ukraine is which was promptly ignored by the following administrations. Rather than choose peace with Russia by remaining neutral, they chose to go down the impossibly difficult act of trying to gain NATO membership with a border dispute in Donetsk/Lukansk region.

It might very well be said that Putin planned to take Ukraine anyways and 2014 was a test run and a good platform to encircle and hook into Moldova, another potential hotspot. The fact remains that leaving the Ukraine flatlands to NATO troops would open up Moscow to an indefensible flank, the upkeep cost of maintaining a wide frontline the size of Ukraine-Russia border would bankrupt Russia.

Simply put the cost of inaction was calculated to be far greater than the risk of action.

Imagine if you will, Mexico wanted to join China's security umbrella and it was receiving Chinese troops, tanks, hardware right across the US-Mexico border. Next Canada joins the party.

How quickly do you think the US would put down such strategic positioning?
That's a very important clarification. Thank you.
On of the major differences between Oracle and Postgres was this - Postgres kept old versions of rows around to be vacuumed, while Oracle moves them to "undo segment". So they are copying the Oracle design.

That has its own set of tradeoffs - if you're running a long transaction with higher level of serialization, the database has to look for old data in the undo segment which is not only likely vastly slower than normal table, but might not even have the data anymore (any ETL developer have probably seen "Snapshot too old" error from Oracle).

It probably is better tradeoff for some workloads, like high volume of updates with no long-running transactions, but it is more of a different design choice than a "fix" by itself.

One could try to guarantee unique outputs with

sleep 1
date

but the intended requirement of behave_differently is that it produces
different output when run on a computer in exactly the same state. Or equivalently, that the program doesn't depend on the computer state, which is true in the more formal setting of universal Turing machines that start from a fixed state.
If the spec requires that the compiler look for a certain error and produce a diagnostic, then the compiler has to spend time doing that. The more complicated the spec is, the more work the compiler has to do to find the errors.

For example, Rust is frequently said to have long compile times. There are a number of interesting reasons why that is often true, but if we ignore the pathological cases then what we find is that borrow checking takes a significant fraction of that compile time. This is a big trade–off between features and complexity that the Rust language made very deliberately: the advantages of the borrowing rules are what makes Rust such a great language. The cpu time spent checking that those rules have been followed are a small price to pay, but not a negligible one.

His answer to "why is the war happening" is "Putin wanted it to." I won't claim to have greater insight but can't help but think that if this is the best we can do to explain Putin's actions, it's no wonder things have devolved this far.

The analysis of how the war could have been avoided also seems lacking, in the sense that sure, there was probably nothing that could realistically have been done in the last few months. But the post itself says: "the conditions which would have resulted in a Russian invasion of Ukraine were likely decided on weeks or months ago." What could have been done differently in the last few years, even decades? I find the implied answer of "nothing" suspect.
> their troops are not put under permanent UN command in peacetime.

This should be “NATO command” not “UN command”.
If they're not peaceful - for example, if they're setting buildings on fire - they aren't protestors, they're rioters.

> that expressiveness is what’s really enjoyable, and pretty much impossible to find elsewhere.

I've often thought it's because CSS is lower-level, more like a tool for creating UI libraries (similar to writing e.g. OpenGL directly vs a higher-level scene graph lib built on top of it)—but when you want to make something unique, there's really no competition.

I still don't understand; why does the implicit declaration assume int bar() is the signature when bar is being passed an int and returning a value to a char?
> though the majority in both regions oppose secession.

They held a referendum.[1]

> Over the weekend, citizens in two east Ukrainian regions overwhelmingly voted to become independent in a referendum that only the Kremlin seems to be on board with. Separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk report that 89 percent and 96 percent, respectively, said they wanted to break free of Kiev's authority.

You may not like the results and might have issues with the process, but to claim that the majority oppose secession is a joke.

No country in the world will tolerate secessionist sentiment in any part of it and will prevent it with all its might. If it has the ability. In this case, Ukraine doesn't.

In this context, "correct" and "less buggy" are referring specifically to memory safety issues which garbage collection can also solve. Sure, theoretically the C++ JS Engine that powers Postman could maybe have a memory issue when loading up JSON. Until that actually happens, switching to this for a subset of the tasks Postman (or the Chrome dev tools) accomplishes is a waste of time.

I have had to put 2 pets down due to illness. It was hard to do, and seeing them struggling not to fall asleep was heartbreaking.

In just about every way possible that death is a world apart from what we do to most animals we eat. What we have deemed "humane" slaughter is really nothing else than an attempt to make the word humane devoid of all meaning. I stopped eating meat after seeing how a cow and some pigs from the local organic farm (held as a poster child by the meat industry in my country) were slaughtered.

They were afraid from the first second. The pigs lost consciousness while grasping for air in panic in a co2 gas chamber.

It was awful and nothing short of a disgrace.

New laws and policies promoted by the meat industry has now made inquisitions like mine impossible. All of this happens behind closed doors. I will never trust the industry to fix this. They will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into treating animals with respect.

WTF? Ukraine is a sovereign nation.

This is factually incorrect, even today, and it was always so.

http://www.ifes.org/sites/default/files/2014_ukraine_survey_...

There is plenty of disinformation around this subject but the whole idea that one day the Donbas region decided that it wanted to join Russia and that those pesky Ukrainians in the Western part of the country wouldn't let them is bogus.
I was really confused about this, at first thinking it was related to the Piet programming language (https://esolangs.org/wiki/Piet) which is also comprised of 2D drawings. I kept thinking this was some clever implementation that compiles Piet code on the GPU instead.

> In fact I don't know a single person in real life who was a victim of a burglary or auto theft where the perpetrator was caught, save for those cases like a car jacking where significant violence was involved.

Me! My car was broken into and my audio deck was stolen. I had to report the crime to the police for insurance purposes. I didn't even give a proper description of my deck but the police called me back a few weeks later saying they found it inside a stolen car and mailed it back to me.

But maybe violence had occurred, .. maybe some shaddy shit went on with that stolen car that led them to investigate it.
He did and said something to the effect of "we know what that means".
Keeping as much communications channels open is of severe strategic interest. Transparency is a weapon of democracy. In the age of information media images can help in a war and cutting off any lines would only solidify the grasp of domestic propaganda for everyone.
Currently Russia is suppressing all the civil protests against war in their own country, and they go as far to make people go to jail for just tweeting about it.

If it will be possible to use hacking or similar techniques to generate noise so:

1. Who wants to protest is harder to detect online ( i.e. can be arrested only once in square actually protesting )

2. The information about Russians protesting against war spreads to how many Russians as possible, so every person that wants to join will know and will can

I believe protests in Russia can help resolving this situation.

Unfortunately I don't have any knowledge on how to help with this possible plan, but in this thread there're people with that knowledge
In our understanding you need nervous system and brain. That doesn't conclude that plants don't feel pain. Pain is how we know about our injury or whatever. That doesn't mean plants will feel that way too. We excrete through our butthole but plants excrete through different way or process. They may feel pain in the way we don't understand yet. Like we now know they are sensitive to light, food, host etc. They emit electrical signals when their body parts are cut. The answer will always be maybe yes or no. We don't even know properly about ourselves, forgot plants and animals.

That is not an actual full truth there. First, there was considerable threat of violence and violence in an attempts to prevent wrong people from voting in those elections.

Second, the actual takeover of power after election did not respected German constitution at the time. And that vote was done with brownshirts lining up around the room, ready to physically attack.

The US overall has been worse to the Middle East overall than Russia is my argument. You knew that, of course, but you chose the vaguest claim in my argument, and ignored the rest which are also valid just to make yourself feel better. Which is fine, of course.
If what you said were true, western countries would not be divided on this issue. It just so happens that Germany are being cowardly over this issue, and the Germans are dependent on Russian energy.
Awkward? That’s what Putin said before invasion. WMD and nuclear weapons.
Actually a good write down, I think it's not to far from the mark as far as Putin's perspective is concerned.

Since more than one thing can be, and usually is, true at the same time, I think one part is exactly as you described. The other is that Putin simply really wants Ukraine back in the fold, among other countries that used to be part if the USSR.

Again, all of that is just a, potential, explanation. It is not, by any means, an excuse or justification.

I don't think NATO-expansion argument is propaganda, but I do agree that that's not the reason for Russia's actions.

That's mostly because in terms of NATO war isn't allowed, thus generally speaking there's isn't a lot of reason to be scared of the huge army that NATO represents.

What's really annoying to me as a coder and gamer is that, strategically speaking what Russia did was logical and expected. I'm speaking from a point of view of if this was StarCraft, EU4, CK2 or Civ5. And from that point of view, my biased monkey brain is telling me that if US left the EU alone, there wouldn't be a possible WW3 brewing...

Mildly interesting note, my father is studying Multinational law thing and we were talking about the role of NATO, the function it serves. We got to that topic because my argument was that my country (Slovenia) should either stop having a military or focus on having few but very specialised units, because as it is now, it's mostly just a waste of money, that's because we've got a population of ~2 million and about ~4-7k military units, depending on how you count them. Regardless, it's a number that compared to other countries is not even note worthy. Which is why my argument was that our military in its current state is a waste of money. BUT because we're so small we don't really have air forces, which is where NATO comes in. Because we don't have air forces our air is protected by currently Hungarian forces and the ones from Italy a few years ago.

What I was trying to find out with the conversation with my father was, if there's a way to gain the protection of NATO without having an army. But sadly that's not possible, because too be in the NATO, you have to have an army... There also UN which could protect you, but there response isn't guarantied and the response time is much longer then NATO. Thus ima way you're kinda forced to have an army...

I would still prefer removing our army, I mean... We've got pretty lakes and nice mountains, also good wine, why would anyone want to attack us? :D
You must be living in interstellar space.
Yeah. And it is not like Russia did not had its own considerable white supremacist movements - more successful then those in Ukraine.
Actually, there was, but like with any other intelligence source you'd want some independent verification.

What was special about Iraq was that there was conflicting intelligence, the WMD inspectors had it right, and Colin Powell lost the respect of the rest of the world when it turned out that he'd effectively lied.

As for Afghanistan, that was/is an outright failure, but still not enough to automatically disbelieve everything that comes out of the intelligence services.

The important thing is to realize that intelligence can be wrong.

To get better understanding what's really driving Russian government and Putin I strongly recommend to watch this talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X7Ng75e5gQ
It's the same "into Kyiv in two weeks" narrative for last 8 years.
Luckily this also favours the defending side somewhat I hope:

From listening to people who grew up with the veterans here in Norway I've learned that:

- Germans were told they came here to protect us against the British so they would - in the beginning of the war - shoot to suppress, not to kill. I guess Russian soldiers coming into Ukraine has been tricked to believe the "peace keeping" nonsense too and had a rude awakening.

- Norwegians however were already mad and shot to kill. I guess this holds true for Ukrainians too. This is natural and we've seen it in Afghanistan, Iraq etc too I think.

- German soldiers would cryingly admit to POWs already at the start of the war that they were absolutely not voluntarily there, they'd just be shot if they refused.
Cars are weird. If my car breaks when I don't want it to, and I believe I'm a better driver than the car is...then maybe I don't want that feature at all. But if someone is about to crash into me and their auto-break could have stopped it, then I do want that feature in their car.
That's what he claims Ukrainians are doing to separatists.

I care, and if you don't, good riddance.
At this point it's just a concept. There's nothing being actively developed.

Putting nukes or tungsten rods in space wouldn't accomplish much. You can't just "drop" an object from orbit. Instead you need to conduct a burn to de-orbit and head toward the target. So it doesn't save much time compared to hitting the target directly with a missile launched from Earth. Launch satellites themselves would be vulnerable to anti-satellite defenses so they would be shot down early in any major conflict. And nuclear weapons can't be left unattended indefinitely; they require maintenance at least every few years in order to operate reliably.
