I'd argue that most Asian companies don't. China has really stepped up their game there I would say. From what I heard a decade or so ago, they used to hire a lot of software people from the valley to get some of the culture established in their organizations for a short period of time.

To some extent I'd say User Experience is directly correlated with how valuable software engineers are in that particular society.

It really isn't. It's a short of counterfactual and it's actually quite useful in checking if you are morally/intellectually consistent. This strategy even has a name (some Bostrom thing that I can't remember right now).
>Is it fair to sanction them? No. Should we do it if it helps destabilizing Putin? Yes, absolutely, even more than we are doing now.

As someone who was from a country where sanctions were supposed to destabilize our leader, it doesn't work, never did, never will. In the tough times people rally behind their leaders, just look at Zelensky or Boris Johnson right now.
> 150k+ Hungarian people do live in Ukraine and they could be attacked directly.

I am clearly not in a position to conduct risk assessments on anyone else's behalf, but I personally don't find this argument particularly compelling. It would require the invading army to specifically seek out those 0.3% of the population that are Hungarian to exact revenge on them.

Further, to avoid the impression that Hungarians are somehow a particularly large ethnic group in Ukraine, there are comparable numbers of Bulgarians, Romanians and Poles living there.
I would say not only abroad, but also at home only small fraction of Russian population can thank their government for what they are doing. It's a kleptocracy rich in natural resources.

I woke up in a cold sweat last night with this thought, but yes, Czech company (Russian founders I think)
Building new nuclear plants is no solution, because it takes much more time than building Wind or Solar power plants. Apart of that "I" do nothing, my government does, my only choice is to elect the correct party, which I did and plenty of Germans did as well, which is why the Green party is now the second strongest. When you give a shit about your children, then you are right, in any other case you are totally wrong. The problem is the same with smoking, you do not see anybody dying directly of smoking, therefore this is no problem? However, for things where it helps you argumentation you let this kind of deaths count, like for global warming or* coal pollution. Nuclear waste will be there for the next 100,000 years and our children need to care about it, that should be better than having wind or solar plants?

> You seem to be completely denying the statement (what I though of as fact, but I am happy to be corrected) that there are regions of Ukraine which have predominantly Russian population. I am talking about allowing those regions to secede and internationally recognizing their independence.

And I am telling you, specifically, that those parts of Ukraine seceding to Russia, as they want to, does not matter in the grand scheme of things. I'm telling you, using Putin's words and ideology, that Ukraine, even without Crimea, even without Donetsk, and even without Luhansk, was never going to remain fully independent. You ignored practically the entirety of my post, it seems.

This is even evident today because Russia already has Crimea. Russia already took control of eastern Ukraine.

So...what is Putin doing in Kyiv?

Many people in the US were very opposed to the Iraq war (the war in Afghanistan, though stupid, had a more real precedent). It would have been good had the US suffered sanctions for invading Iraq, but sadly the geopolitical reality didn’t support that at the time. Does that mean we should just roll over and accept deeply unethical and wrongheaded behavior from a different country? (It’s also worth pointing out that the invasion of Iraq, while by no means justified, was at least targeted towards a brutal dictatorship, whereas Ukraine is a functional democracy with a free press.)

Interestingly, the political party in the US which most favors Putin - the GOP - is also the most comfortable with the US committing atrocities on foreign soil (and at home TBH). Not a coincidence if you ask me. Looks like there can be messed up people in more than one country!

You claim “this isn’t about the human suffering caused by Russia”. You sure about that? I think most people feel like a primary issue with invading another country is the amount of human suffering it causes.
a benefit of custom hooks is that you can test complex state logic isolated from the view
Call on your government to end the war. Immediately. That seems much easier than working down your list, because it will grow longer with each day of this invasion.
Ukraine have "won the narrative" because people sympathize with Ukraine in the conflict, not the other way around.
Ahh right. I see. Thanks for the info and the link.
That is not how quite a few Polish, Slovak and so on people see it. Slovak president said literally that too. There is nothing absolutely nothing to suggest Russia is interested only in Ukraine in the long term. They will stop only if they have to.

Putin arguments about Russian history points toward expansion. Putin arguments about being entitled to Ukraine due to them being forced into USSR or Ukraine not being real nation points toward expansion.

Russian recent history is not a history of peaceful trustworthy nation either.

Edited to add: the material help is not coming there from pure empathy alone. Germany did not provided actual guns able to kill because of them feeling bad for refugees. This was major change against previous policies and cant be explained by "we feel bad for their president after seeing his cool videos". It can be explained only by "we think we have stake in outcome and it matters to us".
I tried several React alternatives.

At this stage, size of community is a really important factor, overriding many other factors.

It is necessary to put sanctions against the entire country, but there’s a reason why foreign policy is executed by government, not by individuals.
I do without issues, but it varies on your bank's app. There's a good chance you'll need Google Play Services, so you can receive two factor push notifications for example. But thankfully GrapheneOS has the option for Google Play Services to be installed sandboxed to varying degrees.
I was going to ask something similar. What I can think of is Poland and Hungary, potentially Belarus, maybe Turkey if you count that as European? (A very open question I think), and Russia itself.

Poland has issues, certainly. Hungary is under sanction from other parts of the EU because of Viktor Orban. Turkey has Erdogan. Belarus has been under the thumb of Lukashenko since a few years after gaining independence, and Russia is Russia but even under Putin it's probably less totalitarian than it was under communism. Honestly I think that (with the exception of that short period in the early 90s when everything looked like it was coming up roses) Europe as a whole is far less totalitarian now than it was for most of the 20th century. Certainly the decades post-WWII where communism held sway, by force, across vast swathes of the continent. Even with its current problems, Poland is far more free now than it was behind the iron curtain.

The OP posts this - "I always get the impression that political oppression was a lot worse in the past than it is now, despite how bad it may appear." which makes me think they have a very weird view and possibly not much knowledge of history. Because yes, it was far worse for far more people for a very long time.
SWIFT is a messaging network and could be replaced by email.

I don't think you want to believe that it's possible.

There was a short story once without science fiction trappings, more fantasy/horror, where someone observes that the gravedigger in a small southern town always knows to dig a grave in advance. He asks what happens if the graves aren't dug, and he's told they have to be.

He plays a game of guessing who a grave will be for, but one day he's told that he'll never guess this time, and then he learns his parents were in a car crash. There's one grave, presumably for one or the other of them.

So he murders the gravedigger with his shovel, buries him in the grave that was dug for another, and both of his parents survive.

But then nobody in the town dies. His mother is paralyzed, and there's still hope, but then she has a stroke. And then there's a big fire. And nobody dies.

Finally, he takes the gravediggers tools, which have been inconspicuously following him around, and goes and digs all the needed graves.

The end of the story is that he's now old and worn out and looking forward to resting after spending many years as the new gravedigger.
I have some bad news for you: that's possible with just about every computer introduced since 2013.

Google "Intel Management Engine" or "AMD PSP" or "ARM TrustZone".

The last of these could, in theory, be less bad, except no ARM licensee except Rockchip (and maybe Apple -- jury is still out there) has chosen the "be less bad" option.
Yeah right. You keep trying to hairsplit one sentence because you're butthurt that nobody cared about the conflict you cared about, but now people dare to care a "lesser" conflict that you don't care about. And oh here's a story about Namecheap, let's blame them for that too.

The red army took Berlin and ended the Nazis. It was an Allied victory but it came about because Russia put their full might into stopping Hitler.

This is not insignificant if you don't like what the third reich was up to.

Yes, UI tests do provide value in terms of making sure your user flows remain intact, and your UI is actually doing what it should be.

No, it is not a replacement for API tests for functional testing.
While I agree that we need to put sanctions against bad actors, I see that many of the actions being carried out are either media influenced or could be percieved as PR stunts. Namely, are you asking the same from the people in Saudi Arabia, Israel, and US? Because at the very same time, these countries are bombing other countries and killing the civilians there. We should act the same to all bad actors, not just select few.
>By far the biggest difference here, I think, is that by being a European war and through the potential for further conflict and nuclear conflict, this war has far larger international ramifications and strategic risks attached to it. To see European cities bombed is to be reminded of what has happened in the past and that it can happen again. That is why it is receiving so much attention.

Bombing of Serbia was a bombing of European cities, specifically bombing of civilian population centers far from the front to terrorize the population. Also without UN approval.
Iraq is somewhat similar except that Russia is the 2000s US, they didn’t bother making an excuse first, they didn’t form a coalition, and even less of Ukraine wants them to be there.

Goodnight Moon is a fascinating book. My older child had noticed a few details which I hadn't:

1. The clocks are actually showing the appropriate time as it gets later in the evening.

2. There is a picture, on the wall, of a rabbit fishing, trying to catch a smaller rabbit, using a carrot as a lure. I surely didn't expect the "Why is the rabbit trying to catch the other rabbit. Rabbits don't eat other rabbits, do they?" question.

3. The book on the nightstand is actually the "Goodnight Moon" book itself.

4. There is slightly less "mush" in the bowl after the mouse eats it.
Until recent Samsung smart devices, you HAD to use their store and the experience was horrendous.

> I do see a point in it working like it does, though

really? I'd think a product whose _primary_ value proposition is "integrity and assurance over what was committed when by who" this is such an odd edge case github refuses to fix. If their security team isn't looking at this and thinking "oh my these aren't the secure-by-design defaults we should have", fire them.

To say "oh but you ought to use cryptographic keys to allow attribution", then why not a color code, or a subtle warning, whatever ... to hint at the fact that attribution in this case isn't only weak but totally impossibly (instead of pointing to a user-id that is 100% wrong and saying "yupp, that's the one who we believe did the commit").

Not exactly great UE. Also terrible for supply chain security. The whole thing is hard to explain because it wasn't that UE was chosen over security. There is no logic to why it was half-arsed like this and they actually get away with it all while grand-standing about all the things they do for "security".

All Github-security brings to the world (other than hype) is:

- Cockpit: which allows me to produce security vulns in an automated manner, and

- the GHSA vulnerability severity scoring which essentially labels anything that has CVSS3 critical as moderate and allows downplaying of the real score.

As a Microsoft company perhaps this is just what it is and I'm to blame for expecting things to make sense.
That is a terrible idea. As it will certainly out some NGO's, protesters and opposition who are trying to change Russia from within.
I've spent the past month kind of rewriting parts of Solid in an attempt to better understand it, and coming from React the way Solid works is just so much more beautiful, it feels liberating.

There's no rules of hooks, no dependencies arrays, no stale closures, no wildly different resulting performance depending on where exactly you put your components boundaries, no VDOM at all, no props diffing, when I change the state corresponding to an attribute or property that just gets updated immediately, the way deep DOM nodes structures are created is sooo much more efficient... it's amazing!

> the reach of bad actors

Are you implying that "to embed sympathetic agents into major publications" is the work of a bad actor? If so, are you aware that nearly all major news sources today are pushing agendas?

Here's a tip: filter out any news organization that publish stories on "look at these suffering children" in regards to any conflict or current event. That's not news, that's agenda-pushing. There's a bunch of additional filters you can use, but when you're done you're left with a bunch of ill-informed blogs, speculation, and if you're lucky a few eye-witness accounts of a single event out of dozens of events which make up the conflict.

In straight terms you're right: going to war will almost certainly not help the Russian economy, almost regardless of how well it goes.

I think the question is a bit more deeper, though. Economic growth is fundamentally useful as a means to accrue legitimacy in the eyes of the ruled - that's how the CCP remains in power in China. That's how countries like the UK or USA have managed to avoid serious pressure to reform, despite obvious (and often comical) systemic flaws in their constitutions.

It is, however, not the only way to accrue legitimacy. Ayatollah Khomeini once opined "economics is for donkeys", and for his administration, it was entirely true: their legitimacy was based on religious grounds.

If you're entering into an era when the fundamentals of your economy are a declining asset (being a petro-state when everybody is switching to renewables), you are diplomatically isolated, your industries are uncompetitive, it makes sense to look for other sources of legitimacy. Putin's attempt to push 'Orthodoxy, Autocracy, and Nationality', is kinda classic.
This is a good move. As Ukrainian before the war broke, I tried to convince my Russian contacts to do something about it. At least publicly state that they are against the war. Exactly one (!) out of my ~50 Russian Facebook "friends" wrote a public post. Now, as my fellow citizens die under Russian bombs, I consider all who stayed silent complicit. Unless they personally feel the consequences of their government actions, Putin will continue to commit more crimes with their silent approval.

You're just the average russian right now. Complaining when the war pulls them out from their comfortable orwellian reality. No social network, e-payments, entertainment and start to cry.

The reverse of this comment probably applies too. Expect Russia to retaliate if this continues to escalate. Banking computers might be hit and the internet might go down. You probably need to have some cash on hand to be able to at least buy food in such a scenario.

I’m not too sure about this. The main problem is there isn’t a new form to replace it with, or a new government to replace Putin with that would act any different - for instance, not constantly assassinating people in Europe with chemical weapons.

It does seem like a good time to leave, although an even better time would’ve been before the currency collapsed.

Yes. No.

Instead of trying to use some vague "you haven't lived it!" argument, it would be nice if you could provide an example of someone directly killed by sanctions.
Nobody sane thinks that normal citizens deserve sanctions; they're for the most part not responsible for the madness of one man; this is obvious when you think back about how half of the USA thought about Trump but was unable to do anything - an din Russia it's much worse.

But the sanctions are meant to make people angry, go out and send a strong signal to their leaders they want a change. This is the most the West can do.
