Hitler was not so much against Jews he was against non-Aryan people, the group that included Jews and Russians and African, and Asian, and almost everyone.

I'm not sure is it a good definition or not, but it is how it is.

I'm not the person you asked, but: I think Biden is in a very different situation to Putin. I think Putin's personality and personal intelligence and rationality is much more important than Biden's, since Putin personally has a whole lot more power. Putin is the dictator of a country; Biden is an elected figure head who's mostly beholden to the US's (relatively) strong institutions. As such, I think the US's actions are largely driven by somewhat rational self-interest, while Russia's actions are much more beholden to Putin personally.

Note: The US's interests are not necessarily aligned with the interest of the people in the US. Also, note: I don't necessarily think this applies to Trump; I think it applies to Biden because he probably largely plays along with the institutions which exist to preserve the US's interests, while Trump didn't.

I'm not educated on the matter, all this might be wrong. I'm just some guy on the internet who pays some attention to politics. I'm also not American, I look at both the US and Russia from the outside.

I saw this on reddit too, it is true that a lot of main countries lied their ways into wars in the past. Here were my few points:

Hussein was actually a dictator (zelensky is .. so far .. not)

US underlying reason was more access to oil than increasing territory, it stays at the economical layer.

US freedom narrative was easier to swallow than Putin's (less poisoning of opponents, less nuclear threats)

Russia feels more corrupted and dictatorial than US ? (a bit like the point above)

> exists more-or-less equally on other frameworks.

You are probably just comparing apples-to-apples here, then. Certainly: replacing Rails with Django or Symfony won't solve the core issues one has with Rails, because Djange and Symfony follow the exact same pattern and architecture.

But architectures (please note that I deliberately don't use the term framework here) like CQRS, Event-sourcing, Event-buses, Actors, Reactive etc. all fit much better for many use-cases than MVC.

All architectures have downsides and upsides. The one's I mention above with which I have experience have severe downsides in other areas. Some of those downsides are solved in Rails, some in other architectures. It's always about weighting trade-offs and choosing what fits best for your use-case.

So please don't just label everyone who made such tradeoffs and chose to forego rails because it doesn't fit them as "chasing fads".

If anything, blindly choosing Rails is just as bad as "following fashion": both is making decisions without any basis.

Well, it's complicated.

I think Putin's understanding of a "Nazi" is deeply connected to the Russian trauma of WWII that the West still doesn't get. Russians believe that due to the sheer number of lives lost, the USSR (and so Russia as its successor state) played _the_ central role in WWII. I encourage you to watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwKPFT-RioU (the relevant parts start at about 4:40 and 9:40)

I personally think that it makes no sense to talk about "who made the victory" because it was an allied effort and none of the allies could have done it alone. But at the same time, I think that westerners just don't get how personal and traumatic this was for the people of Russia.

So, Putin is very sensitive to any view on WWII that differs from his. Things like "this was just two dictators (Stalin and Hitler) fighting". Or the view of some Ukrainian nationalists that the communists and the nazis were just both occupants (same view exists in Poland), or even that the nazis were liberators from communism. There's history of collaborationism in the Ukraine, as is everywhere, but not everywhere the collaborationists are viewed by a lot of people as national heroes, not as traitors who joined the aggressor (the nazis). I personally understand why this view exists, but for Putin and most Russians it's just outrageous.

So, for Putin a nazi is mostly someone who disagrees with the Russian view on the role of the USSR in WWII. That includes nationalists from countries that Putin views as satellites/buffers (ex-USSR and socialist block), but Western countries that don't get how it looks from the Russian side, even those that were allies in WWII, are also tinted with this "nazi" color.

>The author doesn't get it

Or he does, but he considers it understood that the logic of mutually assured destruction rules out "pre-emptive strikes" on nuclear nations like Russia.

And if you realize this, it doesn't make sense to view NATO's expansion in Eastern Europe as "creeping closer, preparing for an attack on Russia", as Putin seems to see it, but rather it is happening because existing NATO countries want to afford peace of mind that they are safe from Russian aggression to those European countries that most need it, namely Russia's neighbors.

Putin doesn't realize this because he's paranoid - and by acting on his paranoia he has precisely proven that his neighbors need the guarantee that NATO affords.
Yes, it is about playing on historical sentiments. Putin always do it. And I'm ashamed and sorry to hear that it is not confined to a Russian-speaking world but spills to neighbours.

This is true, we do offer some extra functionality - but also I want to point out that the database we provide is "just" Postgres. You can use it as a standalone database without any of the other functionality. We give "postgres level access", so you can use it just like RDS or any other DBaaS

for example, we commonly see Prisma developers using our databases (because we also provide pgbouncer, a connection pooler).

Thought this too. And I believe that without the recent years dissolution of EU (brexit, nationalist tensions) there may have been a EU protection force in place to do what you described. But countries are slow (covid didn't help) and unprepared. And actually I hold the belief that what is gonna happen from EU this week will influence this episode a lot. No clear answer => decades of tensions and problems, clear answer => shutting the lid on the fire.

Ask HN: Why is the West not using social media to amplify anti-war messaging?
There’s one thing I haven’t been able to get out of my mind after watching Ukrainian president Zelensky address the Russian people.

Why aren’t Western countries using their social media platforms to amplify their messaging to the Russian population?

There aren’t many people in Russia who don’t use Instagram, injecting anti-war messaging into their stories could have tremendous impact domestically in Russia.

This could be one of the more realistic ways to sabotage Russian war efforts, but I haven’t heard anyone speak of it.

I'm not at all confident Russia could conquer Poland though even if it's left to fight alone (together with the Baltic states). It spends ~65% more on its military than Ukraine, has full access to western tech and way less internal problems (good luck finding any region in poland where > 0.x% of the population would want to join Russia). Even if Russia 'defeats' the Ukrainian military (which I don't think is at all certain) what is Putin's next step? Any regime they install in Ukraine would require enormous resources to maintain power and I don't see how can Russia afford that, at best they can bite off some regions in eastern Ukraine.

Also most Russian don't seem to be even close to being as enthusiastic as the majority of Nazi Germans were when their tanks rolled into Paris. Russians seem to be mostly apathetic, they don't really support the war but also are not willing to actually stand up and do anything about it. That might change if there is not quick victory/large amounts of civilians start being killed/sanctions actually start working.
The BBC broke the news first. Today's media are quite rapid and who knows what's been discussed down the pub the night before.

When looking at the 30-40min delays in filling in which was largely concentrated in cities, how many people sat queueing for fuel were considering an electric car? And then those filling up were limited to £20 or £30 of fuel so they experienced the same range anxiety as someone with an electric car.

Sometimes its not the message that is important, its the resulting changes that are more important. So the fuel crisis created an uptick in electric vehicle sales.

Its not just Govt discounts for new tech like solar cells that cause a change in behaviour, other entities can also take advantage of situations, or just be manipulated into reporting it.

Take the chip shortage and the Ukraine crisis when thinking of Ukraine being the largest Neon producer and its relevance to the chip supply chain. Neon production is a global supply change risk at the moment so events are making changes occur. Bosch is now fabricating their own chips albeit 300mm
https://techcrunch.com/2021/06/07/bosch-opens-1-2-billion-ch...
and Intel have also announced a new chip fab in Germany.
https://siliconangle.com/2021/12/23/report-intel-build-new-c...

So Russia going into secure Ukraine and thus Neon means the EU & US get a stick poked into their bike wheel!

Nothing is ever what it seems!
> They've also suffered a lot to end two world wars that they didn't start.

This is even more true of the Russians, and as an outsider, I'm wondering how much of their politics is informed by those memories.
I'm saying people are more complex than that. Thet don't hate density, given their options density isn't the best life for them. I'm further saying that dense areas have made themselves unappealing and given some changes many suburban people would prefer density.

There are advantages to density, and advantages to rural living, but yiur cannot have both at the same time.
So, Guantanamo Bay became a US military base by vote? Just because the Bay of Pigs disaster didn't involve regular US troops it was a CIA operation. Nobody in his right mind would call those "unmarked" troops in Eastern Ukraine anything else than a Russian invasion force.
This is fabulous.

It's clear from just watching video clips of them that it's not just about being able to squeeze through gaps. They evidently experience puzzles with an enthusiasm that is unusual even in puzzle-solving birds, can seemingly understand quite complex things like how to non-destructively unscrew bottle tops, and from what I can gather they are kind of obsessed with jars and containers?

As an untrained nerd I have often wondered if they have, due to the maximally prehensile nature of their bodies, a genuinely superhuman, volumetric cognition of 3D shape -- a way to "glance" with their touch senses at an object they hold and recall every detail of its shape later, a way to look at a semi-enclosed space and assess how their bodies will precisely fill it, to then look at an object and know what would feel like to cover it, etc.

The lack of trial and error when you see some of these puzzles being solved suggests they might have a much better grasp of 3D shape interaction than adult humans.

That's completely fair, as well as intervention in Libya in 2011. I think though, for the intents of the states wanting to accede to it now, it serves as a form of defense for them.
To paraphrase Planck, ethics advances one funeral at a time. There are many historical activities which were condoned at the time but now seem abhorrent to us. Participants (or perpetrators, depending on how judgemental you are feeling) in those unethical activities probably never fully recanted, and the best thing they did was to somehow manage not to pass the desire on to the next generation.
> Most data is relational.

No. It's not. It may be in your domain. But it really very much depends on the domain and use-case.

I daresay that purely on information density and amount of gigabytes, most data you use in your business is both document-based and hierarchical: files, docs, directories. But obviously I don't know you or your business, so this is just a wild guess.

This misunderstanding that "data is mostly relational", I believe, comes from the fact that it is easy to make most data relational (edit: to clarify: turning something into X is not the same as something being X to begin with). Much easier than to make most data document-based, indexed, hierarchical or into graphs. For one because the tools (RDBMSes) are mature and omnipresent. Practical: it's easy to put word docs and directories in postgres. But it's hard to have millions of CSVs with profile information accessible on directory structure

And, if what you say were true, that "most data is relational", then the best tool for most of our jobs would be a step-up in relationality from an RDBMS and we should be using graph-databases instead.
It's difficult to find the right balance between details and general concepts, and it's clear that I haven't refined my message clearly enough.

I'm not an academic, but have a reasonable level of physics understanding. The concept is simple enough that it should be understandable by people that have a basic understanding of how charged particles behave in a magnetic field.

It should be taken seriously because it's a good idea, and deserves to be studied. I readily admit that a full analysis is beyond my abilities, but I haven't been able to find anyone that can do any better at evaluating it, and I've talked to a lot of people.

I'm moving forward with the self funded construction of the prototype, because with this type of thing, I don't think ANYBODY can say with certainty that it will work or not. Even simulations aren't enough to tell for sure.

It is quite simple and dont require a long winded blog article: war is required so putin stay in power.

He is out of moves. Putin is old but can not retire - he will lose power and will be jailed or executed for his crimes. Only one move left have a war that will keep him in control, and have population distracted. - that’s why he is so unreasonable in negotiations and ready to throw Russia’s economy under the sanctions bus. There’s no deal he will accept because any deal would mean end of war.

Likely this happens next: russians priority number 1 is to change government. They will either capture Zelensky or he will be able to escape and hide. They install puppet government. But all Ukrainians furiously hate everything about this situation. Unlike Russia where population is divided into police and brainwashed mass, in Ukraine he can not recruit police enforcers from population. So the army will stay to control the population. Indefinitely, that is until putin dies. That’s his goal right there.

> The reality is that whether the war in Iraq was justified or not is a completely separate discussion, and the US going to war with Iraq (whether justified or not) is not a justification for Russia going to war with Ukraine.

This. If all we do is justify our current actions with the past, then every country can find some historic argument for invading another country. So yes, US in Iraq means nothing for Russia attacking Ukraine, it is a red herring by Putin propaganda. It is just hard or impossible to convince those who believe in it.

Russia rejected the reforms and path towards NATO membership in the 2000s. They chose to re-establish their geopolitical sphere of influence.
It’s important to keep pointing these things out. I’m not quite as pessimistic as some who believe that the US will continue to do these things forever; I believe the US populace is slowly waking up to what has been done in their names. While people may quibble with the motivations and morality of individual incidents that you’ve mentioned, overall I haven’t heard convincing arguments that they’ve made the world safer overall. The Yugoslavia situation, for example, was pretty complex and I could debate the differences with Ukraine all day, without disagreeing with your overall point.

But I also feel that it’s important to acknowledge that if it was wrong for the US, it is wrong for Russia. There are too many people out there who aren’t really being sincere with their arguments and are using US crimes to justify Russian ones.

Based on "This can result in multiple releases a day.", I'm guessing this is a web application, so there's rarely documentation (outside of an externally managed help center, that might get outdated). No change logs. Quality - a lot of web apps rely on automated testing and user reports. If there's manual QA, it's done on the pull/merge request level or periodically on master/main/trunk. When someone is done and says "it works", it can be deployed on production, potentially passing through staging.

The above is just a hypothetical based on how I've seen a lot of web apps being done.
