NATO would have become a dysfunctional organization. It is not about the Russian fear of NATO. Russian political system cannot get over its loss of an empire, despite us living in the XXI century. It's entirely different root of the problem..

I've been happily using Namecheap for years. Now you really impressed me.
Why do that when you can make sure to undermine their trust in you :)
Stockholm presumably no. But Article 5 states that in case of NATO countries the answer is yes. It has never been tested, the French never bought it, hence their own nuclear program, but the Russians bought it for about 70 years, I don't think this has changed.

It's true that American credibility has taken many hits in the past years, Vietnam, Afghanistan, a certain presidents statements about NATO. But I am not convinced the Russian leadership is willing to risk being wrong about this.

The risk is much more than a bloody nose.
Several of my projects brought me to similar thoughts. I decided to spend my time on something else unless I use the project in question often and it would really benefit from an occasional refactoring and update. Right now, I've only got a single such project (https://github.com/Klaster1/timer-5), the readme links to several previous iterations. During rewrites, I focused on learning new techniques and tools, but surprisingly, a select few places remained relatively stable throughout the years - either I didn't learn anything new in the area or got it pretty good the first time.

Yeah, Collatz operation is: if it's even divide by 2, otherwise multiply by 3 and add 1.

The gp post is asking: what if you make a procedure that runs that on a given input number, repeatedly, until you end up with the output 1, and give the sequence of numbers you visited on the way. Is that an algorithm?

Every number we've tried so far does go to 1, but it's unproven if they all do. It's possible that there exist cycles not containing 1, or maybe some inputs go to infinity. We haven't been able to prove either way.

> [...] the definition he used was that an algorithm must be executable on a Turing machine

Yeah, that's a pretty good reason to choose a certain definition of an algorithm (that otherwise might be awkward) when you have a model you're fitting it into.
Star Trek is a post-nuclear war story, right? And a post-capitalist society?

This seems like an obvious solution to a geography-based ban. They'll have to use a VPN, but lots of people have learned to do this to watch region-locked media.

I wonder whether they'll be caught. Seems like it would be a pretty resource intensive process for a service provider to detect this without picking up a lot of false positives (i.e. people who moved out of Russia and updated their profiles after getting the initial email). Either way, this is only buying time, as these site owners will not be able to make payments easily. My guess is that many of them will migrate to Russia-based providers in the coming weeks and months, and just wanted to work around Namecheap's six day notice.
That’s correct. It’s an image from “The Runaway Bunny”. The story has the baby rabbit changing shape to get away from the mother, and the mother changing shape to attract/get the baby rabbit. It sounds a bit violent in description, but it’s not when you read it.

So for example the baby turns to a fish, and the mother starts fishing; or —- and this captures the spirit better —- the baby to a climber and the mother to a mountain.

These are valid concerns. There are racists everywhere. From what I can gather most of the US view race as skin color, so I think you are shielded from the most overt racism.
"You just don't get to support a murderous communist regime for 100 years and then say "but we had nothing to do with it"."

The soviet regime is long gone, but with reference to the current regime.

It's been put there and supported by the West. In the shock treatment of the economy, the giving away of the state to an oligarchy and to contracts to western companies, the US and CIA support of Yeltsin up to and including fixing an election against the communists, the support for Putin's first election, the turning a blind eye to what was happening in Chechnya and then Georgia, the expansion of NATO against all advice that it would create and embolden nationalist chauvinistic leadership, the encouragement and protection of the oligarchy class in western countries, the addiction to fossil fuel.

It´s not the first time that someone got the 9th honorary black belt. It doesn't say anything about his knowledge about this martial art. And someone already commented that the n-th blackbelt is a ranking in e.g. taekwondo. For every belt you have to take a "test" and the n-th belt describes your knowledge. This honorary black belt is just a symbol from the World Taekwondo Federation and the person who receives such a belt should be a positiv representative. In the described situation the persone who received this belt isn´t anymore a positiv represenative so they canceled his status as suche one.
I believe there’s a finite, fixed amount of complexity in problems; that there is, categorically, no way to solve problems without that amount of complexity that is inherently part of the problem domain.

So, what you have here does not remove complexity from problems, it moves the complexity from one place to another.

So, when you have a simple task, and a straightforward framework, what you see is “it’s easy!”. …because when you use the complex framework you get a bunch of “solutions” to problems that don’t exist on your problem.

That’s why it appears overly complex.

…but for a complex problem, when all you have is a simple framework (like <For…>) you have to implement the complexity yourself, which makes you view the framework as feeble and under whelming.

So, you are just moving the complexity from one place to another; the question is, is the complexity of react really something most people need, or can a framework like solid solve the 90% of simple problems most developers have?

It’s hard to tell.

Most new frameworks excel at solving simple problems because it makes for cute demos.

Is solid any different?

That’s my question. How does it work at scale, for large complex projects? Is there a whole design system implemented in it? Who’s using it and for what?

The claim that it’s “not complex” doesn’t help.

All that means is there are probably a crap load of things it doesn’t include I’ll have to do myself.

There is no magic bullet that removes complexity from tasks.

React is a complex beast, and a nice clean framework to replace it would be welcome.

…but you have to approach this kind of discussion honestly.

I can throw you tons of support and understanding for Russia and Donbass from western media, loads of people questioning the supplying of arms to Ukraine and the involvement of the West. But I don't have all day for that.

Let's be reciprocal: please link any Russian media article (that isn't from Novaya Gazeta, where journalists routinely suffer "unexplainable" deaths) that suggests that Putin has ever done anything wrong, you know, without sugarcoating it in any way.
CIPS is about getting money to Chinese banks (effectively the only members).

Having fun and relaxing as a social technique is enormously improved by being able to read social cues so that you can behave in a way that also allows others to have fun and relax. Without that, you just end up talking about some niche interest that nobody cares about for five hours in a row, not letting anyone get a word in edgewise, and are never invited back.

To an autistic person, I would give the advice to not have fun and relax, but to very deliberately try to shape the conversation so that an equitable level of having fun and relaxation is had by the participants. This is a skill that can be built, and as one builds the skill, its presence will make it a lot easier to have fun and relax because you can be confident that you can estimate your interest budget accurately. At any rate, barring a lot of experience you should assume that everybody else is communicating by the most subtle and illegible of cues and almost ignore any object-level content they say about interestingness. Compare this SMBC https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/reviews As an additional data source, run conscious game theory to determine what people's reaction should be from first principles, then give maybe 30% credence that this is what their actual opinion is, no matter what they say.
XKL is still around indeed, but do they still manufacture the TOAD-2 CPUs? Do they still use it in their current products? The TOAD-2 dates from around 2005 or so, it was designed to be used as a service/management processor in XKL's optical routers, although it could run a patched version of TOPS-20. But do XKL's current products still use it? I can't find any information on whether or not they do, but I'd be surprised if they were still using a 15+ year old part in their latest products.

Open Source Is Defined by the OSI's Open Source Definition
Each architecture has a "library" of these bizarrely named functions that are mapped by the compiler to CPU-specific instructions. I'd suggest 90%+ of C programmers couldn't name a single one of them, and that's fine, because they have no place in C outside of tight platform-specific optimization work, which very few people have a need for or mandate to actually work on

>The reason _why_ React has a virtual DOM is to enable more interesting relationships between your data and your presentation. Anyone can make a framework that makes the source code for an incrementing number look pretty!

Actually, that is only half the reason. You can do whatever you want in my library (github.com/thebinarysearchtree/artwork) and it doesn't have any kind of virtual DOM or whatever Lit does, because you just create elements with JavaScript. The second reason, that everyone just assumes is the default, is that React has to use HTML-like templates and not just JavaScript.
> But I am not convinced the Russian leadership is willing to risk being wrong about this.

The West has already deployed financial nukes. For Russia, there isn't that much left to lose anymore.

Putin may not directly target actual nuclear powers in Europe, but everyone else, including NATO members/allies, is fair game at the moment.

I've been using React since around 2016 and when Hooks were introduced I played around with it but didn't like it at all exactly because of the reasons mentioned in this article. Sure it reduced quite a bit of boilerplate code that came with class based components and enabled better code re-usability outside of class inheritance or mixins but the disadvantages were too big for me personally to really consider using Hooks in a "greenfield" setting.

In my current project I'm using Vue with Composition API which gave me the exact same "aha" moment the author of this article had with SolidJS. Vue + Composition API is way more similar to SolidJS in principle than React + Hooks.
> The most likely outcome so far seems to be that they definitely succeed in taking over Eastern Ukraine, and possibly succeed in taking Kyiv over... and then what? Set up a dictatorship in Ukraine while still pretending to have democracy in Russia? That can't work.

Yeah, that is ultimately one of the goals. Look to Georgia and Belarus here. Basically none of these countries can ever aspire to join NATO. That's the main problem, followed by the other problems I mentioned previously. How this is achieved really doesn't matter.

> Russia took control of the eastern Ukraine, but it's obvious Ukraine still had pretension on getting it back, thus engaging their military at the frontier. I don't think you can warrant we'd see this development if there was an actual internationally-recognized secession going on, which is my entire point.

But again, I'm literally telling you, this secession is practically irrelevant to what's going on today.

Hypothetically, let's say Ukraine was insane and agreed to give up Crimea. It agreed to give up Donetsk. And it agreed to give up Luhansk. Literally for free. There are now no military conflicts between Ukraine, Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk.

Everyone is happy. Yes?

Then a day after, the entire world recognizes that Crimea is part of Russia, recognizes that Donetsk (DPR) is independent, and recognizes that Luhansk (LPR) is independent.

Everyone is happy. Yes?

Then, another day later, Ukraine goes back to applying for membership into NATO.

Russia would invade Ukraine. That is a fact.

That's the problem with everything you're saying.

Yes, I get that the majority of the people in these regions want to split off and align with Russia. I get that.

I get that pro-separatist groups in these regions were in active combat prior to Russia's invasion. I get that Ukraine's military was actively engaging in combat within those regions. I get that. Ukraine blocked off Crimea's access to fresh water. I get that, too.

All of that is /completely/ irrelevant to Putin's reasoning for invading Ukraine.

And I think that's what's most annoying about how Putin does things. There's always a small hint of truth to his reasoning and people get completely stuck on that for some reason. This is part of his propaganda.

If you look at the reasons he gave for invading Ukraine, one of them was "denazification." How are you going to get rid of that pretext? Volodymyr Zelenskiy is Jewish and born to Jewish parents! How was he elected if Ukraine has a Nazi problem?!

But to quadruple re-iterate, none of those things matter. Putin, ultimately, wants to pull back NATO, he wants to gain control over former Soviet countries, and it wants Russia (USSR) to be a superpower again.

You're trying to see things from a perspective that just doesn't apply at all. Again, look at my initial post for my reasoning as to why this is the case. And again, look at the literal fact that Putin sent troops to invade /ALL/ of Ukraine, not just the Russia-backed separatist regions.

Perhaps I am naive about it, and I certainly agree that Iraq's oil is relevant, although more in the sense of ensuring availability than stealing it.

> Myth 03: ‘Russia was promised that NATO would not enlarge’

> This particular myth argues that the West deceived Russia by reneging on its promises at the end of the Cold War not to enlarge NATO

then further down

> Its chief lament was that several leaders of NATO countries in early 1990 had ruled out the possibility of NATO enlargement, and that the West had misled Russia. As Russia’s former foreign minister, Yevgeny Primakov, noted later with regret, there was no legal force to the statements by Western leaders even though, in his view, legally based commitments would have been possible at the time.

So it sounds like the myth is no myth and promises were made, but there were no legal guarantees given instead? Am I misunderstanding something?
I mean sure, but then you'd understand why eastward expansion of a military alliance could be construed as an existential threat, too. There's just a lot of unnecessary hypocrisy all around.

It should also be said that, who is a bully depends on whose interests one happens to align with. Maybe transatlantic interests are always magically aligned forever but somehow I doubt it. One should wonder why or how that comes about, and at whose expense.

No, we're way past this with things like leading semiconductor manufacturers stopping deliveries to any Russian entity. The goal has shifted to depriving Russia of resources needed to wage a war.

That was around 2000. At the time Russia was fighting a brutal, dirty war in Dagestan and Chechnya and trying to destabilise Georgia, was supplying and providing intelligence to Saddam Hussain, was propping up the Assad regime and were helping the Iranians set up their nuclear technology program. Then there are the apartment bombings and Ryazan incident. The Kursk nuclear accident. Russian foreign relations, internal conflicts and military security operations at that time were as much of a dumpster fire as ever.

It's hard to see how those activities could be compatible with NATO membership. It would simply have provided Russia with security guarantees while providing cover for it to cause as much trouble as it wanted.

I've been using AG Grid for three years and got to know it quite well, doing all sorts of customizations to the community version, debugging the internals and so on. It's a really well-made product of an non-trivial complexity, I usually find a way to achieve what the tasks require and some more. I can't imagine working on something as dense and complex, hats off to the AG Grid team. Of course it has some issues, but these are usually worked on already, like an large bundle footprint.
