> I don’t think the expectation is that Ukraine won’t eventually fall and become occupied (I think that is likely).

I think Russia probably can succeed in occupying significant parts of Ukraine, but I think the idea that it will ever succeed in occupying the entire country is much more dubious – especially the westernmost regions, such as Lviv. Far Western Ukraine is the culturally most dissimilar from Russia – being dominated by Ukrainian speakers and with relatively few Russian speakers; having an Eastern Catholic rather than Orthodox majority, and with most of its Orthodox population belonging to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) rather than the Moscow-linked Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC-MP); a lengthy history of rule by Poland and Austria – all of which makes it a hotbed of Ukrainian nationalism whose population are among the most likely to give sustained resistance to any attempted Russian occupation or rule by a Russian puppet government. Added to that, it is geographically protected by its borders with NATO member states (Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania), which prevents Russia from encircling it, and gives it guaranteed supply lines; and Russia must be wary of fighting near those borders, given the risk that NATO might be drawn into the conflict. Moldova to the south also provides some protection – although Russia could conceivably invade Moldova as well (and indeed already de facto occupies the breakaway Moldovan region of Transnistria), doing so may risk overextension, and given the deep cultural and linguistic links between Romanians and Moldavians, risks drawing Romania (and hence NATO) into the conflict.

I really don't think Russia has fully thought this through. It is conceivable the war may end with a split of Ukraine in two, one internationally recognised but with significantly diminished territory, the other a Russian puppet regime only recognised by Russia and its close allies. It is conceivable the war may end with Russia annexing further large chunks of Ukraine, especially the South and the East and maybe even significant parts of Central Ukraine. It seems very unlikely it will end with Russia, or a pro-Russian regime, controlling the whole of Ukraine.
Neoliberalism is a spinoff ideology of liberalism, and to be fair your definition of "liberalism" is a warped version of what liberalism originally referred to. In short;

Liberalism was an ideology centered on liberty and consent of the governed, generally used as the rallying cry in 19th century revolutions replacing the monarchys.

Modern US liberalism is a form of social liberalism that is generally in favor of what you mentioned.

Neoliberalism is generally an ideology promoting free market capitalism. Reagan is one of the great heroes of Neoliberalism.

~25k USD, if you disable a t-72 with that you are removing ~500k USD+ of equipment. Seems pretty cost effective.

Urban warfare just seems like a doomed prospect for armor columns without enormous amounts of support to clear vantage points where infantry can be hiding with a bunch of these.
2014 revolution outlook was also dark, especially closer to the end. I was there on maidan since the beginning until the end. I tell you, the level of motivation is underrated by the world. Victory for Putin is unachievable without genocide.

It's unlikely age-based price discrimination will ever be made illegal, because it would effectively outlaw senior discounts.
> They get to gain Ukraine, the pipeline and resources.

Ukraine is a poor country. Like Russia, like Belarus.

The pipeline was supposed to be deadlined completely after nord stream 2.

Ukraine does have a few resources, but the most it has is grain. That could be a thing, but I doubt it.

I also think that drastically lowering the temperature in unmodified buildings will create other problems like mold because you move the dew point so the moisture generated by residents will condensate in problematic places, e.g. inside insulation.
The energy savings from spot cooling with fans can be incredible compared to AC. A garage AC unit consumes ~1300W while a 20” fan consumes about ~150W.

My startup, Following Fan, has built a person-tracking 20” fan that uses computer vision to automatically stay pointed at the user as they move around. This technology provides the location agnostic benefits of AC with the energy consumption of fans.
> I worry that he'll use increasingly vicious attacks on population centers, bombings, as an offset to cover up the ineptitude. He can't afford the loss of face, the show of weakness, that the present circumstances represent.

Yeah, I fear this is precisely the danger when dealing with narcissists like Putin. Sadly the idea of deploying effective political strategies to neutralize these dangers appears to be anathema in the west as we begin to mirror Putin with nonsensical, hypocritical and sanctimonious high-horsing.

Politicians who wanted to keep BLM politics out of sport are now proposing full-scale ping-pong boycotts. Anti-BDS people are now refusing to drink vodka. Israelis in occupied Palestine are protesting against military occupations. British politicians who are in an alliance with the DUP are now against military interventions to "defend" separatists. Hawks have become doves and spread their beautiful wings to take flight. It's like part of the world has turned it's principles upside down overnight as soon as they see a chance to kick Russia in the shins.

From the Russian perspective, this must look comical, and I'm sure it all plays handily in to their propaganda: "They are liars and hypocrites and everything they say is stupid, cynical and part of a power-play to disadvantage the legitimate aspirations of Russian people". Retch.
"Thinking Physics" by Lewis Carroll Epstein, read after I received a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering. I suddenly realized that I hadn't learned anything in my degree and was functionally useless. Since then I have built a solid base of understanding of algebra, trigonometry, statistics, and intermediate database theory, although I unfortunately remain mostly ignorant about aerospace engineering.

There was a site (freesamples.com?) that was giving these away. I remember we managed to snag 2 for free when I was in middle school. The coolest feature was the adhoc wireless multiplayer. I could search for other cybikos in the cafeteria and share the game the other kid didn’t have in real-time.

You are writing as if Putin is a rational actor. That presumption could not be more wrong. Russia invading Ukraine is already so illogically asinine that nobody should claim to have even the slightest idea what Putin will actually do in the future. He is chaos.

NATO receives no benefit by standing by and letting Ukraine fall. The next fight would be on NATO soil, against a battle hardened, victory spirited aggressor. Oh, and he would know for a fact his nuclear threat worked like a charm.

Now is the time to stop Russia’s aggression once and for all, nuclear threat or not. Putin has never gotten less crazy. There is zero reason to assume a Ukrainian victory would pacify him. We will win handily against any future conflict. But why choose a harder victory tomorrow with one less ally, when we could have lasting victory today?
I'm a backend software engineer who often focuses on database automation and developer tools. Maybe niche in terms of expertise, but not niche in terms of market/userbase... a huge number of companies have databases and use developer tools :)

Just to be clear, among the tools I mentioned, I'm the author of Skeema but not any of the others. Skeema is MySQL/MariaDB specific, but I often get asked about similar tools for Postgres, so I try to stay familiar with the landscape.
If Putin wanted Odessa, he and his military leadership didn't design the offensive to support that goal.

IMHO, that was never in the cards, because an effective amphibious assault would have required obscene and internationally-outrageous damage to civilians and shipping. Or unexpectedly optimistic progress on the Crimean front, which by its positioning needed to fight north and east. Odessa would have added west.
Probably because it's so relatable. It's nice to see we're not the only one making mistakes that, in retrospect, seem avoidable. :)
And a rebuttal argument (or really just an article that takes a very different stance) written in response to Dr. Bright’s article from parent, that while I don’t necessarily agree with, I thought brought out some very interesting food for thought.

> Twitter does set a title tag and thus that tag should be within a head block.

It is in a <head> element. You don’t understand how HTML is parsed. The opening and closing tags for the <head> element are optional. That doesn’t mean the element isn’t there, it means that the element is always there.

> They are leaning on browser compatibility mode to cover the fact that they aren't adhering to standards.

They aren’t. See this comment I made and go ahead and paste that HTML into a validator:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30475015

There is no error handling taking place, there is no browser compatibility mode involved. This is correct HTML that adheres to the standard being parsed normally.

> [1], [2], [3]

Why are you quoting a style guide written in 1992 and two unofficial sources when you could just as easily have referred to the actual HTML specification?

> § 13.1.2.4 Optional tags

> Certain tags can be omitted.

> Note: Omitting an element's start tag in the situations described below does not mean the element is not present; it is implied, but it is still there. For example, an HTML document always has a root html element, even if the string <html> doesn't appear anywhere in the markup.

— https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#syntax-ta...

The HTML specification literally gives this as an example of a valid document:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<title>Hello</title>
<p>Welcome to this example.</p>

There are a great many ways in which people write broken HTML and the browser repairs things. This is not one of them. Omitting the opening and closing tags for the <head> element is perfectly correct HTML that adheres to the standard.
Ah, but Putin claimed Russia is under threat from Ukraine trying to join NATO, that neonazis have taken over Ukraine, that Ukraine is waging genocide on Russians… Of course all of this is theatre, just to keep in mind the current narrative.
I worked for a company like that. We had one pricing for virtually everyone but our biggest and most prestigious clients. We even used to have it in the clear on the website in the beginning.

It's just that the product was somewhat complicated and the pricing form converted better when it generated leads for the sales team than when casual browsers bounced off it.

I am really interested in India's stance on this. Russia is India's largest source of arms, and even now Russia still has arms worth blns to be delivered to India. The last two years saw some border dispute between India and China, and despite China's request, Russia still managed to sign a huge military contract with India, and India has been ambiguous over the Ukraine war like China. What will India do next if Russia decides to use Chinese transaction system (which is almost certain unless Putin is overthrown)? And if we count in those countries still actively buying Russian weapons, including Algeria, Egypt, Vietnam, Turkey...we probably need some time to see how things will unfold.
is that true with globalisation though?

The Windows Phone 7 "tech stack" was based on the Windows CE kernel and, speaking as someone who worked on it briefly, it was a dumpster fire. It wasn't until Windows Phone 8 in 2012 that Microsoft put a real OS kernel on their phones the way Apple put Darwin on iPhones. Devices could not upgrade from 7 to 8 because they were essentially different operating systems.
.NET's GC is faster than Go's GC. They had a big head start.
For math, I would say nothing. What made the difference for me there was the teacher I was working with. A good teacher could help inspire me to get an A+ in College Algebra through Calc III while a bad one could result in me to get a D- in anything from Calc I through Calc III. Yes, I took Calc I and Calc III twice, because I got a D- the first time through both of those classes, and it was the same guy who taught me Calc I and Calc III for my second time through, and in both of his classes I got an A+.

I barely scraped through with a C for Engineering Math (Differential Equations).

For me, the teacher made the difference in math.

For CS, the most influential books for me were Knuth, Sorting and Searching (although I actually bought all three books in the series, unlike most others I knew), as well as the original Kernighan & Ritchie book on the C programming language (before ANSI C was published).

Ask HN: Is it possible to become a language agnostic programmer?
Language agnostic doesn't mean the engineer doesn't have a favourite language of choice. It means that the person can think of a problem critically, independent of any programming language and then design a solution. Then they can implement it in whatever language it needs to be implemented in. And does so efficiently. Ofcourse, to do this, they have to know the entire stack from the highest of high to the lowest of low abstraction levels of the machine.

Is this possible in practice? If so how? Any books?
Why? Historical reasons. Early websites typically used 12px text or smaller, because on a 640x480 (VGA) or 800x600 (SVGA) screen that was readable but not too big, and that stuck even as screen resolutions got higher. Though to be fair, people have been complaining about too small fonts forever. Browser defaults were 16px, but designers hated that and always wanted 11–12px body text.

One thing I used to hassle designers about in the early days of web dev was how they wanted their designs to respond when users resized the text. Early browsers did text-zoom instead of page-zoom, so layouts would often break when users resized the text.
A degree of pragmatic language impairment – inability to detect hyperbole/exaggeration/sarcasm/etc leads to responding in a literal manner to comments intended to be taken non-literally. Commonly associated with autism, but people who aren't remotely autistic can also display it when tired, drunk, stressed, emotional, using a foreign language in which they have imperfect fluency, etc. It is even more likely online, due to lacking other cues (such as tone of voice).

This is exactly what I use for an emailless password reset. Instead of sending a reset token via email, it's just encrypted with public key and user can decrypt token for reset password. There for I don't require to collect email address for account. Of course this could also be used as login method. On the downside, for UX purposes decryption can run in browser by passing private key. I have mixed feelings about pasting PKs into browser.
> Apart from war there may be no human activity in which fairness applies less.

Agreed, which is why it was a big collective fuckup for Western societies to migrate from the societies where premarital and extramarital sex was condemned, thus ensuring a far more even distribution of sexual access for men and women.
If your phone is a recent or expensive model, the subscription prices for apps may be higher, or the discounts lower, because you presumably have more disposable income.

Take all advice you see online from successful people with a grain of salt. It is inherently biased.

The software industry, for example is filled with people who are extraordinarily talented at math in high school and thus get into the good schools. There are exceptions where people find the passion to code later on in life, but by and large, the "cream of the crop" fits the definition of the former.

“Let me do whatever I want or I’ll nuke you.”

If we do not save Ukraine due to our own fear, then that’s the effective precedence Putin will have just set. Russian conquering Ukraine is an _escalation_ from NATO perspective.

Commit to a rules-based international order where disputes are resolved without the use or threat of force while simultaneously pursuing global nuclear disarmament.

But if he did that, they'd call him a "pussy" and he wouldn't be re-elected. Not to mention, it's much more difficult and complex than just "getting your missile out for the ladies."

It's hard to ignore that this type of short-termism is the typical "borrowing from the future" philosophy that got us to where we are with climate change, nuclear proliferation, financial collapse, and the breakdown of the global order.

Edit: in a way discussing this is probably academic, since we will either change the way we approach these problems, or there won't be any "we" left to do anything at all. Here's Tom with the weather :)
NATO started growing when Russia was still all kinds of fucked up, with the first phase being in 1997 if I remember correctly.
Dating, matchmaking, or even just finding friends, is a perfect problem space that is just ripe for a free service to come and try to solve.

Why isn’t there a free platform for dating? (not counting the subreddits and FB groups for that, because they’re retooling something else, not built from the ground up to solve problems specific to this space).

It’s one of the biggest social issues imo, especially in cultures that restrict or repress dating in meatspace, or places with uneven demographics (e.g. there are literally millions of more men than women out there, which means that many will inevitably “die alone”)

If more people could find a suitable partner or even just compatible friends, it would make the world a much better place, if only by reducing misery (and spurring the economy :)

Why isn’t anyone else stepping in besides the wolves that just prey upon loneliness and desperation?

Yeah, but sometimes that somewhere is mostly just the Pacific Ocean. If you look at the sun around Thursday, December 22, 2022 at 00:48:00[1], there's not a whole lot of land area with great sun.

Of course, if you overprovision, and interconnect, and have some peaker plants, and make syngas (or whatever) when there's overproduction to use in the peaker plants (and probably elsewhere, liquid fuels are really handy if the price is right), we can probably make it work.

I wouldn't build a solar plant in the Sahara though; sand is going to ruin everything if the heat doesn't first.

Virtually every computer science course in the UC system beyond the intro courses teach methods of critical thinking that transcend individual programming languages. The theory of computation course I took two decades ago was fundamental to this understanding I've gained. Outside of quantum computation ideas, there is no (reasonable) propramming language I can't write software for, if that language is well defined and documented.
