This works well for transport and storage, but not so well if you need to understand and transform the data. For the problems with ad-hoc extension mechanisms, see:

In particular, the section on "The Mirage of Extensibility", which uses ImageMagick as an example.

> One solution is to do both. You declare a standard schema upfront, with common conventions that can be relied on by anyone. But you also provide the ability to extend it with custom data, so that specific pairs of Input/Process/Output can coordinate. HTTP and e-mail headers are X-able.

> The problem is that there is no universal reason why something should be standard or not. Standard is the common set of functionality "we" are aware of today. Non-standard is what's unanticipated. This is entirely haphazard. [...]

> X- fields and headers are the norm and have a habit of becoming defacto standards. When they do, you find it's too late to clean it up into a new standard. People try anyway, like with X-Forwarded-For vs Forwarded. Or -webkit-transform vs transform. New software must continue to accept old input. It must also produce output compatible with old software. This means old software never needs to be updated, which means new software can never ditch its legacy code.

I would add that at the same point in the war with Chechnya, the Russian forces were faring similarly. Ukraine is not Chechnya so there's reason for hope. It's also worth noting that although Russian soldiers aren't with their backs to the wall (whereas the Ukrainian soldiers are), Putin's back certainly is to the wall, and he is not democratically-elected. He has been subject to geopolitical constraints (as will be any Russian leader).

Post-war (if it concludes favorably for Ukraine), Putin can still create pain for Ukraine (and Europe) by cutting off gas supplies. He can still do much to hold back Ukraine economically and politically. If we want to score one for democracy, then we would do well not to 1. "win the fight" and 2. get triumphant. If there is a positive resolution for Ukraine in terms of military outcome, the leaders over nonetheless need look for an endgame.
Is there any meaningful difference between the two, other than the libvirt compat?
For the most part, Liquorix should always lose on throughput benchmarks. Most of Phoronix's benchmarks focus on those.

You can check the comments regarding a discovery that certain sched_yield configurations destroy performance on out-of-tree schedulers and was amended post benchmarking.

This however was using MuQSS, which was notorious for poor single thread performance. Liquorix now uses PDS which attempts to use all physical cores before deferring to SMT threads. This completely changes performance for lightly threaded workloads.

There's been no news-worthy benchmarks since Liquorix switched from MuQSS to PDS.
Doesn't matter who leads who, invading sovereign territory means invading sovereign territory.

One of the massive mistakes in US foreign policy after September 2001 was to effectively re-legitimise old-school military power, occupating countries "just because we can", without even a shadow of UN mandate. It makes it very hard to rhetorically argue against others doing the same now.
There is no permission or api to ask for this. It is not possible.
Nah, it was Trump who started sending Javelins in 2018. Also under whom the US military smashed a column of Russian mercenaries in Syria, killing 90 of them.

Trump flattered Putin publicly, but his policies were never sympathetic to Russia.
It doesn’t even make sense in North America - the glass walls make it very unpleasant in summer, even in heavily air conditioned buildings, even in moderate climates (California). It’s like working out next to a space heater, with an AC unit blowing on your neck.
You've mashed a whole bunch of things together here.

Is Zelenskyy receiving foreign intelligence from NATO? That wouldn't surprise me.

Is NATO (or separately the US) flying drones over Ukraine for intelligence gathering? That's a step further, but it doesn't seem impossible.

Are there US/British/etc. nationals in Ukraine, doing their own protective sabotage/engaging directly with the enemy? I find this very difficult to believe, for the reasons stated in the previous comment.

"Modern warfare" means a whole bunch of things, including that Ukrainian soldiers don't need months of training to operate the push-button munitions that NATO has dumped on them. NATO has dozens of options to exhaust before doing something as risky as directly inserting foreign soldiers into a war they're not involved in on paper.
>I have a feeling that a lot of people in the pentagon that have been concerned about Russia becoming a near peer to the US are now sighing in relief.

Not in the Pentagon, but I'm still very worried about their capabilities on the cyber front.

Which is really weird. All the speedups they list seem like it would run faster in general.

Maybe the extra responsiveness under heavy loads is slowing it down?
The Winter War was not a colossal blunder, the Soviet Union got the territory it needed to protect Leningrad from attack, which happened a year after the Winter War ended.

Also various reforms happened after the Winter War that readied the Red Army for the soon coming invasion of the USSR.

There were military, and possibly political, blunders by the Soviet Union in the beginning of the Winter War, but the result was a successful one for them.
It won't run at real-time speeds. Way, wayy slower. You could put this on a FPGA though, if you port it to one. Then it would run in real-time. I doubt it will run exactly as it is, with the limitations an FPGA provides. The logic should be fine though.
>I'd bet money (1) Zelenskyy is being actively supported/coached by the CIA or MI6 (his PR/propaganda game has been absolutely on point),

Oh man is it ever. Dont know who exactly, but ya no doubt getting coached.

>2) there are covert-ops teams in Ukraine that are assisting the rag-tag paramilitary and civilian groups with advanced urban warfare tactics (e.g. demolishing bridges, improvised armaments, etc.), a

I suspect language barriers would prevent much work together here.

What I have been seeing, there are tons of videos of 'aftermaths' where russians took tons of losses but nothing else. I would expect the spec ops took out the russians and just moved on. They are largely speaking just looking at intel and intercepting ground troops.

>(3) the Kremlin is correct that NATO/US UAVs are relaying detailed Russian troop/ship movements back to Ukranian leadership.

You can confirm this yourself on various ADSB tracking maps. Dont forget geo spy sattelites. The russian troops are tracked in real time. They are sitting ducks who haven't even seen true resistance yet.
I doubt this really - I think it is much more likely that in the past few months specops from other countries were in Ukraine training the hell out of Ukrainian soldiers. I guess I would not be surprised if individual countries that bordered Russia / Ukraine had limited people in the area but the potential political fallout would be huge if the UK for example was caught operating in the country while publicly saying they are not.

Private for hire mercenary groups though who knows

Seems to me that fossil fuels have been so manipulatively overpriced for enough decades that is the low-hanging fruit renewables are performing favorably against.

Old folks remember when fossil fuels were way cheaper and it does not feel like that underlying floor is quite being struck.

It's physically difficult to capture enough energy in one lifetime to compare with vast deposits of energy captured over millions of years.

However it looks like those controlling the biggest oilfields might have already spent the petrodollars that have not even been pumped out of the ground yet.

This would be expected to compromise their ability to drop the floor out and have as halting of an effect on alternatives as there was in the early-to-mid 1980's. Before that alternatives had extreme progress mostly in response to shortages, and skyrocketing costs remaining from the early 1970's, rather than climate, but it was still progress that could not continue after it became unfeasible financially.

Now renewables are again moving fast toward the cost of currently-captured energy especially when they are widely distributed and operated by individuals rather than large powerful controlling organizations. Plus there is an urgency with climate degradation that is more recognized than ever.

It's pretty bad for usability for all downstream tooling. Grepping log files is immediately worse... Ingestion into pipelines (like ELK) is considerably degraded... I can imagine almost every other tool would be similarly degraded.

I think it's fine if the logs are going straight to stdout/stderr in a console. Any other destination (piped output, logfile) should default to no color.
Ventilation is so underrated. There is not only the obvious benefit in reducing electricity usage, but it helps with noise (AC doesn’t run as often), dust (free flowing air keeps it from collecting in air-flow deadzones), mildew (as with dust, air flow keeps moisture and humidity from concentrating in one spot), and the longevity of your appliances (cumulative effect of all of the above).
Are there any good fingerless gloves for typing? I'd like to give them a shot, cold hands are usually what causes me to turn the heat on and I try to use as little heat as I can.
Mearsheimer has been proposing the same since 2015.. as can be seen on this video: https://youtu.be/lfk-qaqP2Ws

And his proposal, for Ukraine to be a kind of neutral zone, was not for Putin, it was for the USA and Ukraine.. so that Ukraine could survive as an independent country.

Mearsheimer is West point graduate and air force officer...
His biases are if anything pro USA.
Right. If an argument can be made for the US overthrowing Saddam. Why can't an argument be made for Iran doing it?

Iran was invaded by Saddam. Why didn't we support them if Saddam was so bad? That is a rhetorical question which really needs no response because the response is: the badness of Saddam has no bearing on the question. That is very obvious in this case, but not obvious when we are seeking self-serving justifications for our own wars.
I live in an old shotgun double in New Orleans. A lot of the features designed for airflow have been fucked up by “modernization” - most of the windows are permanantly closed due to window AC units, transom windows above the doors between rooms are painted shut with the hinge support stuff gone, etc - but it’s still really amazing how much colder it is than the outside. It is designed to shed heat in a ton of ways and it’s so much better at it than the newer house in the same city I grew up in.
I hear ya. I was in bed for a two days after having my appendix removed and for a few days just walking felt like I was climbing stairs.

if you follow /r/futurology /r/technology and sometimes here throughout the years you will see breakthrough after breakthrough, these small advancements do make it into manufacturing sooner than what people think, one of the biggest challenges was for me was reading about cool tech and waiting forever for it, then giving up on it and deeming it as a probably just a clickbait promise, but not to much sooner after i have forgotten the advancements, they make their way into everyday life proving to me that technology never comes as soon as you think it does, but it comes eventually.
doubtful. putin is the mob boss and he has them in line up to a point. putin got power and strong armed the oligarchs into giving him a cut of their business and for them to stay out of politics. he made an example of one of them by putting the richest of the oligarchs at the time into prison... everyone else signed up.

this is strictly putin being putin.

edit also, a lot of the oligarch money is invested heavily in overseas banks that would and are being targeted by the sanctions. being a billionaire is not much if you can't access your money
“Ethnofascist dictatorship” and “liberal democracy”!

This is more like if Pakistan invaded Bangladesh to get it back. Wars where very similar people who speak slightly different languages fight over whether they should be two countries or one country are a dime a dozen. One country being a democracy for all of five minutes doesn’t change that math.
A lot of display tools support them (though you might find issues with CI systems that show the lot in a web page) but a lot of processing tools don’t. For example, you might have difficulty using grep on your log file if there are escape codes sprinkled through it.
After only a couple days, Russia is on the cusp of encircling Kyiv, and has potentially gained control of strategic airports, and hasn't even used any of their big weapons yet. If you track the timeline of the Russian developments versus against something like the Iraq invasion, Russia is actually ahead of schedule in many ways.

People are claiming it's a victory when Russia hasn't totally taken over within 72 hours, but is that really any kind of victory?
TERM is a rather blunt instrument which changes support for many features besides ANSI color. SSH sessions further complicate matters.

TERM=dumb is useful for cases where you absolutely want serialized output, such as CI logging. Interactive cases require you to choose a value that both your terminal emulator and the software supports.

Unfortunately, NO_COLOR is only the tip of the iceberg. Yes you can clean up ANSI escape codes upon human consumption in some cases, but not always. E.g. often these log files are meant to be displayed in web UIs (e.g. Jenkins). Things get really chaotic when tools call other tools via child processes. Then, you might have one tool forcing colors via the FORCE_COLOR ad hoc standard to force colors through non-TTY pipes, but the user of the tool wants to, again, pipe the output to a log for display on the web...

Don't even get me started on TrueColor :)
Ukranians are receiving military and financial aid from a multitude of countries while the international community is moving swiftly to cut off major financial lines to Russia, including the SWIFT system which was discussed here a few days ago. I've seen some threads hypothesizing if Russia can't prevail quickly enough they will begin to have shortages of critical supplies not to mention that the collapse of the ruble may serve to make a longer term invasion politically untenable.
This is the correct answer (or at least it should be). Only print colors when going to a TTY, not when writing logs to a file.
When double tap works, it also adds massive latency to every interaction: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2013/12/300ms-tap-...

IIRC many phones are designed to radiate heat from the screen for similar reasons, keeps the device comfortable for the user and improves cooling effectiveness since phones are usually screen up.
Other languages don't lack abstract concepts, but the abstract concepts are frequently more culturally or contextually dependent (and thus more difficult to reliably translate from one language to another) than concrete concepts. I can translate the word "exorbitant" to Spanish, but it's likely that the translation I pick in one context will be incorrect in another. On the other hand, my translation for 'cat' is likely to be reliable across a large range of contexts (barring its slang usage to represent an abstract concept).

There's a reason that many loan words in English from other languages express concepts that are difficult to express naturally in English, e.g. 'schadenfreude', 'ennui'.
In the US wood construction is the norm for residential buildings.

These cannot go below a certain temperature, not much below 60F, otherwise dry rot will slowly but permanently damage these buildings in most places (depends on humidity). I suppose if you drop the humidity below a certain point you might get by with pretty low temperatures.

The N810 and N900 were AFTER the iPhone (N900 significantly so), and it’s quite revisionist to compare the N770 or N800 (or N810 for that matter) to the first iPhone, in terms of its performance and feel. Yes, on a pure feature list comparison, the N770 and N800 might have compared well (or even better, especially for iPhone OS 1.0), but those devices never felt the same as an iPhone. Capacitive touch screens made a big difference too.

The N-series Nokias (including the N95 and N97 phones) were really special, but they weren’t iPhones. The iPhone just made everything else feel old instantly.

Biden withdrew the last of USA troops from Ukraine a couple weeks ago. That was the green light for Russia to move in.

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/02/12/us-withdraws-nearl...

After being in Ukraine for seven years, the USA withdraw was touted as,
"This repositioning does not signify a change in our determination to support Ukraine's Armed Forces, but will provide flexibility in assuring allies and deterring aggression," Kirby said.
> Nah, it was Trump who started sending Javelins in 2018.

Ooof. That's an... interesting twist on the facts.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/12/i-would-like-you-to-do-us-a-...

"Zelenskiy chatted about how he wanted to 'drain the swamp' in Kyiv and how he wished the European Union would provide more financial support. He told Trump that Ukraine was ready to buy more Javelin anti-tank missiles from the United States. The next 10 words that came out of Trump’s mouth — 'I would like you to do us a favor, though' — are what triggered the House impeachment inquiry that has imperiled his presidency."

https://www.businessinsider.com/republicans-leaving-out-key-...

"At the time, Trump had placed roughly $400 million of congressionally-approved security assistance to Ukraine on hold, and the president is accused of dangling the aid over Zelensky as part of a broad scheme to pressure him into launching the investigations. The aid was ultimately released on September 11, less than a week after three House committees launched investigations into his administration's efforts to pressure Ukraine to help his reelection campaign."

As for the mercenary incident, Americans came under attack by Syrian forces that included Russians. It was by no means a planned op. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/24/world/middleeast/american...

I think he knew there would be a great cost. Indications are they were preparing.

But maybe underestimated the entire cost… how in lock step NATO and other nations would be.

Even if victorious, he seems to have underestimated the Ukrainians.

I think he expected a VERY quick victory, that doesn’t seem to be on track so far…

Militarily I have no idea why they haven’t established air superiority or even softened up the opposition for a while before committing to a ground war….
> They will not use nukes.

I would not be so sure. At the least Putin will resume the underground nuclear tests, if things don't go so well for him. If people don't take the hint, he'll do some above ground tests. Then, he'll make use of the novel Russian doctrine "escalate to de-escalate" [1], which means he'll drop some tactical nukes in the theater of operations.
