The sad thing is not the inability for me to reach my mom, but that I have to blame her for giving birth to me on the territory of Russia.

I donated $150 to UNHCR's Ukraine emergency the day the invasion started, but I am cautious to do this again because my bank may become unreliable and I should have cash to be able to eat in short term.

I do not even have a reason to use a Russian bank, but 2019 sanctions made all pre-paid debit plastic providers quit anyone with a Russian address; meaning I cannot accept money from a non-Russian customer to spend it outside of Russia except via a Russian bank, being a freelancer not rich enough to own property overseas and have a verifiable non-Russian address.

Addendum: I am envious of fellow Chinese freelancers, who happened to be born in a country which is not at war now and thus enjoys more favorable attitudes even as they can freely express their support for Xi and deny Tiananmen (and I do not fault them for it, since they were born in a country where they cannot choose what to think).
> only UK and France have defence forces that can mount a proper fight and have operational experience

France released a report two weeks ago concluding it can only withstand high intensity war for a few days. We have good forces to do small scale interventions in foreign countries but we wouldn't be much better than Ukraine at defending our own land. Plus it's a small army and most citizen aren't trained.

The air force allegedly has only 2 days worth of ammunitions

Our only redeeming quality is our nuclear submarines float but that's more of a deterrence option.

We're mostly relying on the US in case of a "real" war.
Travelling to the U.S. and then paying medicare premiums would generally cost more than paying locally without insurance.
Java pass by reference vs pass by value vs C pass by reference vs pass by value?
One problem they don't mention in the article is that Ukraine and the most of the rest of the former Soviet Union uses different rail track gauges. Which means that any trains must either stop to change wheelsets or the cargo must be unloaded and then and then loaded onto other trains. Russia uses trains a lot for logistics and has an advantage in moving heavy equipment to the front line.

So that and the likelyhood of urban combat are probably the reason why most of the aid is composed of man portable weapons which contra the article are relatively easy to hide. The most vulnerable from the reported deliveries are the fuel and artillery ammo. I really hope a lot of that cargo is moved under the cover of night and doesn't stay in one place as it is vulnerable to missile attacks.

They said that there are potentially Russian helicopters in the West of Ukraine, but that is probably not true and they are vulnerable to the MANPADs coming in from Poland and other places.

Finally, there are Bayraktar drone deliveries from Turkey which are greatly appreciated.
Turkey's air defenses are supplied by Russia. Ergodan was so indignant to get the S-400 that he risked loosing the F-35 over it, and did in fact loose the plane even though Turkey manufactures parts of the plane.

After snubbing the Americans and the rest of Europe for the S-400, Turkey's only unburned military bridge with a strong power is Russia. They dare not burn that bridge as well.
And that really sucks. You have my sympathy.

However, these sanctions are being enacted to stop more PEOPLE from being killed. Dead businesses are unfortunate, but acceptable collateral damage compared to human life.
I'm going to have this comment printed as a poster and put on my wall. It will save me many fruitless discussions.
If you don't believe this is about strategic territory, then what do you think it's about?
Or just drop the warning completely with `-Wno-unused-parameter`, as it just creates a lot of noise, makes the code uglier and never catches any bugs. When dealing with virtual functions or callbacks, having some unused function parameter is just far to common to be worth warning about.

Being Indian, I'm part of quite a few circles where I've seen exactly this sentiment: helping Ukraine fight Russia is just prolonging Ukrainian misery because Russia is just going to go full scorched-earth if a quick annexation doesn't work out.

But what's the alternative? Just allow any large nation annex sovereign territory because the target is too weak to resist on its own? So is the suggestion that Ukraine should have just quickly analysed the relative strengths, and surrendered immediately?

This will only embolden Russia (and China, eventually) to go for land grabs all over the place without any fear of retaliation.
Sure yes. Those people should definitely renounce.

Live monitoring of all sanctions against Russia
The article doesn't refer to it as aid. It refers to it as military gear.

Ultimately Russia is the initial aggressor here so they're the ones who initiated and are prolonging the war. Russia cannot win -- even if they take Ukraine what's the end game? Never trade with the West again?
Erdogan is effectively a Putin de-facto ally and would likely resist any such calls.

Turkey is a sui generis NATO ally. The US "claimed it" to get the straits, effectively providing a nuclear arsenal as payment, but it's become very clear that the country's priorities have always been somewhat unique and shifted considerably since the Cyprus conflict - even more so since Erdogan's purges.

Turkey would definitely be a NATO ally in an all-out war (which would be the end of humankind, so whatever), but they will probably never engage Russia directly in a limited fashion while Putin and Erdogan are in power.

I'm not meditating and had the same thought/expiernce/revelation.

My direct thought (me) what I feel is me, is trying to influence the rest of me and it just not always work.

One theory is, that you are reading/expierincing what already happened (like subseconds ago) and you can only try to influence the upcoming behavior of your whole system.
If it cost "a few hundred dollars a year" and less than 1 day of my time I would be ecstatic. That is nothing like what it actually costs.
This moves it closer to a "temporal" integration as well. Since the factor on the residual branch can be considered a timestep in an Euler-discretization.

Is it just /r/programmer? or many other programming related subreddits?

In general though, this is great. I would similarly love a solution where we could submit sites to be indexed. A way to have a search engine for all the websites I want specifically would be awesome. You could probably add some sort of popular filter on top of it so that only sites popular enough get indexed. I don't know. Just an idea.

I love the fact that it's accessible from the terminal. That's fantastic. Although, would be nice to have a very simple HTML front-end. Think very early Google or go very brutalistic.

Anyway, excited to hear about it.

I don't know how you can say any of this with the certainty you're conveying here. It seems wholly unwarranted.

For the most part you test your app in development the way you test any app that uses a third-party API service: by carefully reading the documentation, faking/stubbing responses and triggering your own webhooks with example data (which you can do from their devtools).

So beyond that, a sandbox that does everything the same way the live environment does except actually move money is actually the right kind of sandbox.

There are some narrow situations in Stripe Connect testing where it would be really nice to be able to tell Stripe to count days as minutes, though it does seem to ignore initial delay_days delays which is the most important one.

An official stateful Stripe mock with Connect support and webhook triggering would be useful (localstripe is excellent but lacks this).

But you shouldn't dive into Stripe Connect without knowing that it gets complex if you're deploying it globally, and I dare say the same applies to automatic taxation across different jurisdictions. You're going to need to know how to test this.

Personally, I agree with you. I work somewhat differently, but am highly effective.

I managed a team of very high-functioning C++ programmers, for one of the top imaging companies in the world, for 25 years. I kept employees for decades, and that’s no secret. I mention it frequently, here, and my entire career is an open book. I've been an active software engineer for over 35 years, and shipping software, that entire time.

There's a [vanishingly small, I know] chance that I used a couple more techniques than simply counting CIs.
Unfortunately, this post is maddeningly accurate. Keep in mind that Putin signed a military alliance agreement with Azerbaijan the day before he invaded Ukraine. I perceive that this is an unveiled threat to Armenia: do as you are told, or we'll look the other way when you get invaded and (most likely) massacred by our new ally.

A widespread opinion is that the 2020 war was enabled/allowed by Russia to punish Armenia for its drift towards the West. Personally I find this scenario reasonably probable.
The difference is that a war with Russia will not mean 5 years of struggle, but rather the loss of billions of people and (at least) three continents becoming void of human life.

Because if not, they're launching from Okinawa or Guam.

I would say everything but arming Ukraine was the right move. I'dve kept sanctioning the central bank till later, if they started with bombardment as they're doing now.

People down-voting me right now may not want to hear this, but in a year's time they'll see the results. Several major ukrainian cities won't exist any more.

There is no Ukrainian victory here; Russia can level the country whenever it wants. The logistics of an invasion force are hard, but they will be solved. All that's being preserved now is pride and nationalism -- people and their lives are being destroyed.

Putin won, militarily, this war when he decided to invade, the only question for the west is what price we want him to pay. Right now, ukraine is being used as a stick to beat putin with -- we're going to make him pay strategically, but the actual cost will be born by ukraine.
How is even Nim (!) and Zig (!!) included there but .NET with a major developer market share and that is now cross-platform and explicitly supports self-contained executables not even mentioned in the article?? If he strongly dislikes or can't use .NET as an option he should write that and explain why.

(with some limitations, but the .NET stuff with .NET dependencies including the entire .NET Runtime should at least be in there, and you can compile resources like icons or other assorted data embedded into the executable as well)

Not by sanctions, but the USSR famously drained its finances in the arms- and space- races with the West, and that is considered a significant factor in its demise. It has often been said that the Buran program specifically was the last straw.
Figuring out those good personal habits and repeating them on a daily basis is extremely hard.

VUDU used to do this with their hardware box - you’d buy a movie to stream and would download it from them + peers that also had it already, and then you’d be seeding it as well.

Show HN: Crowdsource creation of Ukraine/Russia peace agreement
I've created an app with the goal to: Crowdsource creation of Ukraine/Russia peace agreement.

https://peaceagreement.org/

How did it come about? - I'm worried about the rapidly escalatory nature of Ukraine/Russia conflict. Western countries are taking many measures to stop the war, but all measures seem to be alike - they all escalate and deepen the divide between the nuclear armed military powers. Meanwhile, innocent people in Ukraine are suffering now, innocent people in Russia are going to suffer soon due to sanctions and I cannot see how adding more suffering to the World is good and is bringing us closer to peace. I wondered if an unconventional approach to trying to resolve the conflict could be of any benefit...

You can see a mock example of a peace agreement here:

https://peaceagreement.org/perfect-emblematic-fulfilling-cle...

I've committed $1000 to the best reasoned peace agreement anyone comes up with. If you have geopolitical understanding of the situation and can construct an objective and convincing agreement, please create a new one by pressing "Create new agreement button" in the landing page. The app has just been launched and not many agreement proposals have been submitted yet, so the competition for $1000 is not fierce currently.
Buddhism also says that an end to suffering in this lifetime is incredibly rare, something that qualifies you not just as an arahant but as a full Buddha. The claim that full Buddhahood is possible is obviously interesting - it implies that meaningful developments in enlightenment are very possible even after the conventional four stages of awakening - but obviously it's something that can only be explored by arahants who have completed these four stages. (And there's enough controversy about even the mere existence of modern arahatship, so the claim that it might at some time become common enough to make further progress feasible is even more speculative!)
> Putin also seems to have underestimated how much Ukraine hates him personally.

I doubt it's personal. Russia has dominated Ukraine over the centuries. Stories of Ukrainian collaboration with the Nazis in WWII are true enough; but at the time, Ukraine was ruled by Russia, which only a decade previously had imposed a famine on Ukraine that killed millions. Unsurprisingly, many Ukrainians welcomed the Nazis as liberators.

You build your Clojure app as an uberjar, yes. Only gotcha here is to remember "-Dcljfx.skip-javafx-initialization=true" so the JFX thread doesn't get started during build, and I've had no problems using Clojure's direct linking either. You use jlink[1] to create a custom runtime JRE image (this isn't strictly necessary if you're deploying to machines with a JRE but it cuts down on moving parts and gives you more control). jpackage[2] then takes that runtime image and your uberjar and creates installers for Mac/Windows/Linux. Both are command line tools, and we just have GitHub Actions that cut new releases for each platform when we tag something with a new version.

Worth also keeping an eye on jDeploy[3] which adds extra goodies like auto updates, at the cost of some npm shenanigans. Not something I've played with yet though.

Thank you.

It is very very hard to surgically hit the Russian elite without also hitting the ordinary Russians. The problem with most of the sanctions is that the Russian elite won't care about them, but ordinary Russians are impacted greatly. This is as far as I can see unsolvable: sanctions are the 'soft' step prior to war, skipping it would be madness, if anything it shows the Russian leaders that the West is serious about this.

In the West people typically have no idea what it is like to live under a dictatorship regime. But there are some examples of how even in such countries major change was effected through mass protests. The chances of that materializing are very, very small. My own hope is that Putin's inner circle will decide to throw him under the bus rather than to risk a one way trip to the Hague. Right now they can still claim it was all Putin, if they wait another week their fate is sealed.

Russia had a fantastic chance to become a better country in the early 90's, they completely blew that and became a kleptocracy instead. So now we have mobsters with atomic weapons, and this is the predictable result.
One of the reasons for the Starlink project was to keep SpaceX busy with productive launches. OneWeb launches help further that goal, even if they were able to pull away a small percentage of Starlink's business. I imagine they'd jump on the opportunity eagerly.

You didn't need to write java to use the JVM, but okay.
That's just plain ridiculous. The economic sanctions are in direct response to the invasion of a sovereign country. You can't use them as justification for this very same invasion.

And the arms shipments are not by NATO directly, though of course many countries here are also members of NATO. And those shipment only started when Russia started to threaten Ukraine, invaded the Krim and finally invaded the whole country.
The other side is that the US is the only country capable of fighting a "real" war against France. No other country has the logistics capacity to send a significant force to fight so far away from home. Russia is already having serious trouble with logistics in Ukraine, and the troops haven't advanced that far from the border.
> NATO is presently sending massive amounts of arms to Ukraine and has tried to destroy the Russian economy.

This mirrors so closely what someone else in my Indian circles said that I had to go through your comment history to check if you were him!

The logical conclusion to what you're saying is: once a larger, more powerful nation (relatively speaking) decides to do a land grab, the target should surrender right away.

Don't you think this will just embolden said large nation (and other slavering observers) so just do more of the same?

Once Ukraine surrenders, what's to stop Russia from going after, say, Moldova? Or any of the non-NATO former Soviet nations really?

If Putin lobs a small nuke into the North Sea as a warning shot, what does the West do ? Maybe stop shipping war materiel into Ukraine, but then anything else ? Nobody is going to lend the Russian army a helping hand unless it's to accept their surrender.
No it isn't. It's describing a bikesharing system with no payment system. I mean leaving your personal bike unlocked, and taking another when its missing.
Not so sure what your argument is here. Ukraine is in control of its policy, the West is in control of their policy.

Also of note, Ants are attracted to electric fields as well.

https://www.jstor.org/stable/25085325

> Ants are strongly attracted to both AC and DC electric fields
(Fig. 2). The numbers that accumulated increased with an
increase in the voltage for both DC and AC voltages, and for
all species. Some species (P. comanche, Ph. hyatti) show
little or no response to voltages lower than 50 volts. Other
species showed slight responses to lower voltages, although
the response greatly increased at voltages above 60 volts. No
difference in ants' responses was detected between AC and DC
generated fields (Fig. 2), although ants leave AC powered
points at a slower rate due to a possible residual effect of
AC (MacKay et al., 1989). Ants of all three subfamilies
responded in a similar manner.
