Switzerland is highly mountainous and 2 out of its 3 big neighbors historically could not agree with anything the others proposed, which most likely meant that at least 1 of them would support the Swiss against the other 2 (at most) invaders.

Scaling Swiss neutrality worldwide is unrealistic.

Most countries don't have these kinds of luxuries.
That prompts a lot of questions I'd never thought about before. Assuming a failed grid, are there enough off-grid cooling units to keep the population alive? If such a thing happened in my city people would pile into vehicles and use that AC, but my city has an average car ownership of two per household. The next century will definitely create a market for refrigerated trucks full of bunkbeds.

I wonder how long a fridge-sized freezer filled with water and then frozen could keep you alive in such a heatwave.

Plain text can be used to generate those. Anything other than plain text is merely a visualization.
> What ultimately matters is that information is captured and preserved as thoroughly as possible. Between a picture that expresses a thousand words, and plain text file that sacrifices its detail and authenticity, why wouldn't we choose the former? Indeed, this question applies even the choice may sacrifice the longevity. What's the point of longevity, when the pursuit of it can compromise our ability to capture the information we may be afraid of possibly losing?

I would contend that capturing a picture is absolutely a massive distortion of reality because reality is three dimensional, exists in many spectra beyond visible light, has sounds, smells, taste, and feeling, and exists in a historical context. The selection of framing, distance, focus, all of these are biases of the photographer. A photo is a lie, too. Just because it's higher resolution doesn't mean it has indeed captured the right information.

Text is a lie too, granted. But in our current digitization zeitgeist, we have forgotten that our media (pictures, video, recordings, not just the TV, cable, and internet) lie to us. Our own bias towards slicing apart the world into computer-digestible bits is just us lying more convincingly to ourselves.

Do you think normalizing the successful behaviors will increase the backlash? I would think it would do the opposite. And I would disagree with anyone that said that becoming highly educated, at least in the modern sense, necessitates giving up one's culture.
I came to this realization a few months ago as well. I had been using one note to keep notes and it got glitchy between devices, causing things to not appear. I’ve had multiple random losses of data like that.

Word documents and other special formats always break in different versions or operating systems. Or they get corrupted. Or they can’t do some basic feature like side by side comparison.

Apples note app deleted all my notes a couple years ago on some version update. It was apparently hidden somewhere in the terms of service. It’s impossible to get those back or rollback. Everyone on the internet says it’s my end user fault for not reading the apple TOS standard popup before pressing the default ok button one time.

There’s just an endless amount of problems. I put everything in text files in a set of folders now to sort it instead of tags that break, and nothing gets corrupted or loss. It also of course just syncs to google drive for version and backup.
That's lovely, thank you. I just laughed out loud playing it.
Yeah, I agree with this. At a high level it sounds obvious ("there's black people, white people, asian people, aboriginal people, ..."), but it gets impossibly complicated (and invasive) when you look closer.
From my personal experience, confusing documentation comes from its extreme flexibility which makes a steep learning curve, but once you get your mind around it, it becomes a powerful tool for pretty much anything. Some time ago, I made a very simple blog (https://devandgear.com) in Hugo, which eventually with time evolved into a much bigger and more complex website (>2000 pages), that evolvement was possible thanks to its wide array of tools otherwise it would require a different builder.

> We pay most doctors and hospitals based on patient outcomes, not fee-for-service.

I'm curious how you convinced providers to bill based on outcome. The metric seems very hard to quantify. How are the outcomes measured? How are chronic conditions handled (e.g. there is no clear resolution to the underlying issue)? Is it a sliding scale or a binary? What happens when a pt visit does in fact involve expensive labs and procedures?

Anyway, congratulations on the launch! I'm a huge fan of anyone trying to improve the healthcare system.

100%. So many people in this thread are out here acting like going to an Ivy League school is a guaranteed right afforded to those who score well on tests. That’s never been the case.

We're talking about policies that favor some groups against others in a competition for scarce resources (college places, scholarships), so it clearly is going to have a negative effect on the people that are not in the favored groups. And even if the policies weren't so openly discriminatory (eg. SAT scores, quotas), the disparate impact on Asian-Americans would still be obvious.
I think to a large extent that was (and was perceived as) really just the administration saying that, rather than US expert and military leadership.
That's something I've always thought; plain text is pure and wonderful for me, an Anglo-writing American, because most of these formats were written for people like me.

I suspect for nearly every other language (or at least any language that doesn't use the ~100 characters/symbols used in the English alphabet), old ASCII text isn't terribly useful.
Dropbox never removed linux-support at all, or sync specifically. They removed support for some esoteric filesystems which lacked certain features. For most people dropbox on linux did not stopped working.
I have no idea, as I'm a bit lost when it comes to Kubernetes tooling. When I wrote a Kubernetes tutorial (https://okigiveup.net/tutorials/a-tutorial-introduction-to-k...) nearly four years ago, you had kubectl and YAML files, and that was it. These days there is a whole hierarchy of tools, which probably cover the same ground with miniboss and much more. So yes, it could be adapted, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be necessary.

Russian parliament to vote on imposition of martial law in Russia
Mikhail Podolyak, Adviser to the Head of the Office of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy:

On March 4, both chambers of the Russian parliament will convene for an emergency extraordinary session. As I understand it, the preventive imposition of martial law in Russia is on the agenda.

If you write C and don't know how to cross compile your code you shouldn't be writing it.

Python actually can't cross build (reliably).

I like the FromSoft games. I think the difficulty is a bit of a cross-cutting issue. What I like is the diegetic treatment of death in the games. There are reasons in game or in story reasons the player character and the monsters re-animate, and it has consequences in the game. In fact much of the theme of the game is arranged around this.

For games like Doom the player sees their character die, but from the monsters' point of view these are alternate timelines that didn't happen- the monsters see one one selected timeline where the played didn't happen to die.
There might be ways to bypass clod-flare. A SYN-flood attack directly at the servers, bypassing cloudflare might work.

The servers they protect also need to connect to something else. For example a bit-coin server, if isolated from other bit-coin servers is useless. So a SYN-flood DDNS attack on all bit-coin servers with the return IP being the real targets would force the other bit-coin servers to black-list the target, effectively taking them off-line.

Well, what I was proposing still gives you 70 home games in the regular season. If you home team doesn't make the playoffs, you'd end up with about 15 pseudo-exhibition for next year that would be even cheaper. It would also reduce the price for playoff games as teams would have more of them to go around. Instead of a 3 game series with only one at home you would always have at least 3 home games per series.
Where is the evidence of such a strategy though, besides the fact that machines are always broken? Even the franchisees would rather have a working machine.

Allowing Russia to do whatever the hell it likes because we're too afraid of MAD will be what kills the West. He'll push against a NATO member soon enough. If we can't stand up for them, he won't stop. And even non-military, these punitive sanctions drive us all closer to midnight, as we plunge the citizens of Russia into a deep economic depression.

Short of a friendly and broadly supported coup or a complete ideological u-turn from Putin, there is no way forward here that doesn't risk everything. Trying to ignore it seems the least helpful.

There are a few steps between sneaking away from your unit and securing political asylum in Europe.

Do you sneak away at the front? The opposition is hunting infiltrators, will they ask questions or shoot first? Do you sneak out behind the front? Your own side is likely to dispense quick "justice" and report you as KIA if you're caught (less trouble). How do you get to a border with a Western country? Do you stay in Ukraine and wait for things to settle down before making your move? That's a bet that you won't find yourself in a Russian-occupied zone. And so on.

Thanks for clarifying!

This is a bit OT but I've been pondering the sanctions and concluded that Putin (if he's still alive) and the Russian oligarchs should continued to be sanctioned even when Russia itself rejoins the world community. How do we rebuild the Russian economy while keeping these people from regaining power?
This was said in earnest. This blog post is the first thing that made me excited about this stuff. shrug.

But then from the wikipedia page.

The Online Etymology Dictionary states that the use of the term to mean "'calculating machine' (of any type) is from 1897.

The Online Etymology Dictionary indicates that the "modern use" of the term, to mean 'programmable digital electronic computer' dates from "1945 under this name

So computer is the correct term before 1945.

In my experience GIF is still the most set-it-and-forget-it way to know a video will play, to get cross-platform support out of mp4 you may have to provide two different codecs. Anyway, not disagreeing with you and most gifs could drop 90% of their size with better choice of resolution and framerate. This readme is particularly egregious doing a screen capture with scrolling.

PJ was part of my holy trinity of American political satirists when I was in high school/college (PJ, Hunter S Thompson, Molly Ivins)* and to this day I have yet to encounter any current satirists who CONSISTENTLY come close. Part of it I suspect is that our political terrain is such a goat rodeo, and that the kind of caustic humor these folks espoused (often thumbing their noses at any number of conventions) that today would get them promptly dragged, but their insights into the zeitgeist was at the time, intensely engrossing.

* I also revered Twain and Mencken, but PJ/HST/MI were contemporaries and in my time, which carried a more visceral stamp to them.
Your argument is still predicated on the fact that BCH is the "real" Bitcoin, and that it's strictly better. Even before Bitfinix chose the ticker this was heavily under discussion.
