"If Apple stops mandating the use of WebKit on iOS and iPadOS, the developers behind the mobile versions of browsers like Chrome and Edge could switch to Chromium like their desktop counterparts, enabling Chromium to obtain even larger overall market share and potentially limit the chances of rival technologies competing with it."

It all depends on which specific fringe scenario (apocalypse scenario) you are prepping for.

Since you mention computers in cars breaking, I am guessing your preferred flavor is nuclear winter.

Check out this study by the EMP Commission.[0]

Also I am having trouble imagining the average Joe in a post apocalyptic scenario wanting a web app for anything.

Thank you op I needed this today
Mutual economic relationships have been seen for decades as means to lower the risk of military conflicts with Russia. I am not sure how much this was considered for the nuclear exit, but in general Germany has more consciously chosen closer ties with Russia over seeking independence than it accidentally stumpled into them.
While, in principle, I support sanctions against Russia for their actions, I can't help but think they are using Ukraine as part of a larger economic game. Basically, they are forcing countries to take sides to some degree, and any country that wants to continue trading with Russia will have to adopt an alternative financial system/network, one that is not Dollar-centric like most of the world currently uses.

I think Putin means to hold out economically as long as possible and give other countries a chance to adopt this financial network and eventually get to a point where Russia doesn't need to play by the West's rules anymore, because sanctions will have a diminished effect.
"repair" means "stock a bunch of replacement parts", where any repair is possible in electronics. many people replaced capacitors on motherboards, but very few can make a capacitor from aluminum foil and tape or whatever's to hand that will do the job of the $0.50 commercial one.

Presuming hardware's running and communications are just spotty; then having your own local archive of sources is a good idea. mirror gutenburg and the wikipedia dump and stuff like that as well as the full repositories of some of your favorite distributions (source packages too!)
That is why I specified “enough healthy calories”. What I meant was that as long as you have access to enough produce. Basically some people need to eat meat because it’s the only way to get enough nutrition. But if you live in California near a well stocked grocery store for example, then you just need to learn what a healthy vegan diet is and most people will do better on a vegan diet. At least according to NutritionFacts.org. A vegan diet has incredible health benefits including significantly reduced risk of heart disease and cancer.

I was not attempting to say all calories are the same. You definitely have to learn what foods are right to eat. But I think meat is only necessary for people that live in remote areas without enough access to healthy produce.
Counterpoint- this was yet another tired critique of Bitcoin. How many of these smug, superficial boomer oriented rants must we endure?

It's easy to attend conferences and mock people. Meanwhile BTC is playing a meaningful role in the realpolitik you mention, and quickly integrating into the entire banking system. You say BTC has no connection to the real world, as if the Canadian truckers didn't just get their accounts frozen, and cutting Russia off from SWIFT wasn't being discussed. How do you maintain that view in the face of such events?
Thanks for writing this. I hadn’t seen it Before and I needed to today. I hope you’re thriving

I think it has a lot to do with what they said about your goals changing. When I first started painting a decade ago, my goal was to do a good oil portrait. But now, painting has become so personal and spiritual to me, that my goals aren't as external like they used to be. I realized a few years ago that while I am in the process of painting something, I have no fear in my heart. Exploring that has become more of my goal, and one could spend many lifetimes working through it.

For some of us it is something we might think is likely.

I don't think it is that obvious / people would know that outright.
What does it even offer that MS Word doesn't? Word has all sorts of grammar and style checking.
It's just my opinion based on what I know. I hope whatever is done, whether it's my viewpoint or yours, is the correct one. There is likely no right answer here, just degrees of success and it depends how many innocent Ukrainians you're prepared to let die (and the citizens of the next nation on Putin's list). I'm praying for President Biden so he may make the right decision. So far, I'm dismayed.

It does sound like we both want success for Ukraine here. I just don't believe that anything but full-on measures will be enough. I think it's wishful thinking. Putin is clearly the bully at school that you either punched in the nose, or you didn't. If you didn't, you're likely still getting bullied to this day. They prey on weakness. The west is weak, and this is our moment to put our money where our mouth is on defending freedom.

>USA originally did nothing as Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia, Austra, Poland, and even France.

That's the problem. We already learned what happens next.
> When Georgia was about to join NATO, Putin seized it.

Russia occupied some parts of Georgia, similar to Ukraine prior to the current general invasion; Georgia remains a NATO partner and aspirant to membership, it hasn't yet been seized by Putin the way he is currently attempting in Ukraine.
Yikes. Checking this out.
We teach people how to use the "block" button and think critically.

That is the only solution that is compatible with human rights.
I think a big problem, at least for Europe, is that we played directly into Russia's hands. If they cut off the gas, we are are screwed big time.

Blocking Russia's access to SWIFT would pretty much cut off that gas supply.

If people spoke to me using using baby level words, then took great delight when I learned and re-produced sound, and steadily upped the sophistication of what they said, I'm sure I'd learn super quickly as well.

People can be weird with non-native adult speakers.

I tried to learn my wifes family language - mother in law seemed a bit embarrassed with how to deal with a non-native speaker, and mumbles short things very quickly. My father in law is better, he'll just talk and talk, reasonably clearly and slowly, and I've conversed way more with him (even if it's not at all fluent and involves a lot of dictionary pauses and trying to explain things).
The return of the Cold War will merely result in duplicated efforts (err, triplicated efforts a la China). The world knew how to live in this environment and can do so again. Perhaps the real question is why leaders thought things had changed.

With the already agreed sanctions (so not swift, but the ones about transactions in USD and EUR etc) - it was also written that the russian banks have up to May 24 to settle their transactions. Is that the last level of inter-bank settlements that's about? Or does it mean that the sanctions are ineffective until then?

Somewhat off-topic: Why can't lithium (or other elements) be synthesized in a lab for production use?
That isn’t the only response. There are a lot of things NATO can do without committing ground forces:

- NATO could ensure a supply train for material coming from Poland and Romania: all Ukrainian forces need to do is hold a corridor from Poland/Romania to Lviv.

- NATO could share intelligence and strategic advice to aid the Ukrainian forces’ ability to respond (I believe this is already happening)

- if the war bogs down while Russian troops hold onto say a large area east of Kyiv, then NATO could use the “impregnable state border” to provide troop training and re-supply from inside the Polish border, or in an area just over the border in Ukraine.

- NATO could train Ukrainian pilots in Poland, and allow Ukrainian planes to be based out of a NATO air field (and could even supply those pilots with NATO planes, missiles, fuel, etc), similar to how Germany allowed the US to use bases on German soil to launch attacks on Iraq.

The last option seems unlikely (it’s probably close enough to joining in the fight with your own personnel that Putin would respond accordingly). But it is still something that could be done, would help Ukraine wage war, and wouldn’t technically involve NATO troops fighting within Ukraine.
Well then they aren't not eating any animal. It's pretty simple. I'm not attacking them for the oversight just pointing it out. It should be forgivable for swallowing a fly but vegan and vegetarian food production still harms animals(example: insects are animals) and they still eat some animals accidentally. It's an improvement but it's not perfect.
> defensive alliance

Yeah, right. Remind me please who was NATO defending against during the military operation in Libya? Iraq?

Regarding the rest of your arguments, whether you want to support joining NATO is your own business. I'm just looking at it from a game theory perspective. As far as I remember, so far there haven't been threats from Russia against Sweden. Now you want to join and there is a threat. You may be indignant and think other countries have no right to choose for you but the reality may be different, as the Ukrainans are finding out. Now they will have to forget about joining NATO AND will get occupied, when they could have just admitted that they can't beat Russia and agreed to not join NATO.
I see a lot of people discussing this as a negative for big tech, but to me it seems like the biggest gift governments could give them.

Right now they either don't demand real identity or they have to justify in ways that try to hide their real intent - your real identity makes you a much cleaner and more valuable data point for monetisation and other user-hostile aims. If this passes they can just point the finger at government and blame them. Instead of people being outraged at Facebook for demanding a picture of their driver's license, Facebook will just be saying "Legal requirements in your country demand that we do this" and all the outrage will be directed at government.

Unless politicians are smart enough to also propose a technical framework that prevents it happening, this seems like a boon for big tech.

Wikipedia has a list that allows sorting by "per 1,000 capita (active)" [0] – scroll to the table and click the rightmost column to sort by active per 1k capita.

By this measure, the US is 51st on the list with a value of 4.2, behind many European countries and NATO members, e.g. Greece is #7 with 13.3.

> Because the risk of escalation and nukes are unacceptable.

He can lob a nuke right now, but he knows he will lose against the US.

He will retreat to avoid an even bigger defeat.

Thugs I fought in my teenage years, even when they brought a knife to the fight, when they are afraid of getting KOed, and humiliated in front of their peers, they wrap up, and leave.

They don't want to get beaten up, risk humiliation, and potentially committing murder at the same time.

Similarly, US can give Russian state 2 choices, a defeat with orderly surrender, or end like Yugoslavia, but 10 times worse.

Excellent thanks. Sounds like more of a philosophical difference but it will be interesting to see how that plays out. There's certainly room in the market for multiple players! It's a hard problem.

It is likely that your manager's manager is doing the same thing to you.

Your team might meet expectations and the data is there to support it, but your team's rating / your rating may be pushed down to "does not meet" to force a statistical curve.

Its not too clever for its own good,
its programmers that are too clever for C, and desperately need basic features, and its the only way to get them unless you switch language.

Its also surreally poorly designed, encouraging worse habits than C itself. Avoiding definition collisions and lack of namespaces alone make it horrific for any moderate sized project and up. Combine that with the near complete lack of static analysis tools, and its a recipe for disaster.

Count me as someone who loves this. I could turn this prompt into an enjoyable 30 minute discussion easily. I am a front end developer, not a computer programmer. I cannot reverse a linked list or invert a binary tree. But I can explain in depth to you about every single aspect of the browser, HTML, CSS, JS, and UI engineering in general. I have a decade of deep, specialized expertise in building software for web browsers, and an encyclopedic knowledge of web technologies. I can build anything, and my previous work speaks for itself. But I simply cannot pass the SV Leetcode/whiteboard style interviews. It's maddening.
But if SWIFT is already in play, everyone already has a reason to diversify, and will do so.

You can't be making threats and not expect people to try to avoid the thing you're threatening.

Also you can't be hesitating on everything that seems like a one-off. Then you really don't have a lot of sticks to shake at people.

This whole thing is so embarrassing for the West. We won't let Ukraine into NATO, we won't promise not to, we won't send troops, we won't send much help at all, we won't sanction all Russian nationals (yes it's heavy handed), we won't sanction a few thousand top regime officials, we won't sanction just the oligarchs, we won't stop them living in the West, we won't even stop them sending money home.
My superficial understanding is that Germany divested on Nuclear and other tech and focused on Solar + Wind + Natural Gas. They’re now over -relying on Russian gas to cover energy needs. There are no gas lines from southern to central Europe due to several political interests / disagreements (Spain imports Gas from Northern Africa)

Don’t claim deep knowledge and happy to be educated.
> Another interesting point is that Chrome can load utf-8 documents as utf-8 without a metatag if it's a file:// URL. I guess conceptually this is because local files can't specify the encoding in HTTP headers or something?

You can guess the encoding after reading a few bytes from the request. Checkout universalchardet from Mozilla or the equivalent Java port: https://github.com/albfernandez/juniversalchardet

By the time the meta tag is parsed, you almost always know the right encoding already.
Training is training, and it's all beneficial. And a good portion of my training has been in trauma care, medical response, and techniques. It resulted in my getting my EMT license, though I never used it. It all falls under "harder to kill".
> The reason why Germany hasn’t stopped buying gas from Russia is

The reason why Germany hasn't stopped buying gas is because there are 12 million gas heaters spread across the country, heating 20 million homes (nearly 50% of housing).

We currently bring up 150k heat pumps a year (mostly in new developments). At that rate it takes some 60-80 years to convert all existing gas guzzling real estate over to electric heating.

> because, despite being a massive (the most massive?) solar and renewable economy, those don’t work very well during the winter.

Last I checked it's winter and we just broke wind power records, multiple times in a row. Wind power has approximately the same installed capacity as solar (60GW each). But it still doesn't help those gas heaters keep people warm.
We haven't really mastered fusion to the point that we can just glue atoms together, let alone in a simple, cost efficient way.

The obvious one: integration with every text box on your system.
As another option, you can also obtain the knowledge and tools to cannibalize other electronics to get the replacement components you need. Might be more sustainable since you never know which components you might need, and you can't reasonably stock all of them.
There were protests by over a million people in the UK when coalition forces invaded Iraq.

To address your other point, victory for Putin here is swift regime change in Ukraine, nothing else will serve.

He may have overreached and if he has he will bleed Russia dry within months and be overthrown. Let’s hope so as he is a despicable person and a tyrannical curse on his country.
> That's the problem. We already learned what happens next.

No. You missed the lesson.

USA is largely a peaceful nation that's many thousands of miles away from this conflict. It takes an incredible amount of evil before the US people are roused into action.

The US people in 1939 or 1940 weren't ignorant. Even as Hitler rose and took over large swaths of Europe, the US citizen was not roused into action. It still took significant amounts of political pressure / propaganda to get people to agree with the Arsenal of Democracy approach after the fall of France.

-------

EDIT: Those troubles are still with us today. We are still a nation very far away and seen as outsiders to the countries we visit. No one wants the USA to half-ass a war, that's how you get Afghanistan/Iraq/Vietnam.

Rousing the people to action is an incredibly important part of sending troops. If the people don't support the actions, the troops fight with less morale and less justice in their hearts.

The NATO process holds power. I do believe that if a NATO ally is attacked, the US people will rise up and truly move to defend our allies. You can't trigger that prematurely or artificially.
I fail to see what purpose posting gore such as this serves. Nobody needs proof that war is bad.

One alternative is to just write a C code generator, which lets you mix C and some sensible language, eg. python. Then use that to generate the code which is then sent to gcc.
