Not necessarily Putin's demands, but there's talk of Russia asking to join NATO way-back-when: not sure if those are trustworthy, but I am pretty confident Russia would have no fear of NATO if it was not sent off, and was instead part of it.

Also, recognizing independence for Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine would have helped with the current situation too.
I think then your title is not matching your capabilities. We can help making that correction.
First commercial Ethernet media (1980) also was a RG-8X coaxial cable using the circa-1940 RF connector called “N” (as opposed to the F or the unthreaded RCA phono connector).

You could then do “simple” vampire tap into such Ethernet RF cable to expand your network.

Because the then-10Base-5 signal is a guided RF-based wire, it was originally made to allow communication in one-direction only … at a time (half-duplex). Each end of the wire had to wait their turn (just like telegraph operators did by beaconing their intent to send info by pre-sending some well-known code).

Both IBM and Xerox Parc diverged into Token Bus and Star network configuration to deal with this “half-duplex” issues using the same collision backoff algorithm.

I think David unknowingly cemented the IEEE 802.3 standard as a winner when he prototyped the N-backoff algorithm for upcoming 802.3 for the 802 IEEE Working Group.

This half-duplex constraint of 802.3 (and 10Base-5) technology was losing out to the IBM token bus (IEEE 802.5) methodology in maximum bandwidth utilization.

Of course, without this N-Backoff algorithm, 802.3 wouldn’t have made the next step of leveraging a twisted pair (precursor to 802.3 10Base-T) possible to achieve this full-duplex and modern Ethernet we know to this day. Token bus and token ring both had effectively lost out in the Ethernet “Duplex War”.

While Bob Metcalf may have made it possible the 10Base-5 communications, he also got a lot of hardware help so David Bogg actually did the thinking of backoff algorithm … at hardware level. And the PARC performance team refined the backoff algorithm to near perfection.

Any error are mine and mine alone. I was close enough to that circle, others may be closer.
With enough determination (and it doesn't take that that much) you can make propaganda work just fine in any language. And that's they key part, it doesn't need to be perfect, just good enough. Look at Fox News or Alex Jones.

And even if you make the effort to evaluate both sides objectively, having too much information in any language doesn't work that great either. Most people aren't equipped to properly select their information sources, to parse everything and discriminate fact from feeling, propaganda from truthful reporting. To highlight how difficult it is, this happens at scale even in the most civilized of countries, with solid education systems, and freedom of speech and press.

Most people tend to choose sides which become core to their beliefs, and are reluctant to reconsider ever again. Once they picked a side it's "just" a matter of selecting the information that supports it. This is why the same person can read the same information and decide whether it's good or bad based on who did it rather than what was done? Some people read "country X bombed school in country Y" and purely depending on their "allegiance" will decide whether the school was full of terrorists or the bomb was launched by terrorists.

Whatever you do to change that will earn you the label of "other side's troll" (sometimes, ironically, from both sides) and you quickly learn that freedom of speech only works when you exercise it in your own bubble, thus reinforcing that bubble.
Oh, but he did. And when he got it, then he moved to other country with other demand.

Do you really believe this would end at Ukraine?

They say the delays stem from their choice of SoC. They decided to use i.MX 8M in 2018. They had time to order the CPUs.

>there were only two SoC's that Purism could use (i.MX 6 or i.MX 8M) that could run on 100% free software and fit within the power limitations of a phone

This isn't true as it requires proprietary software for things such as doing memory training on boot.

>But today delays are due to the supply chain, not Purism.

Despite the uncertainty in the supply chain Purism continues to take orders even if it may not be possible to fulfill these orders.
Russia has tarnished its international standing.
It will require a dramatic change in Russian politics, as well a regime change there.
Otherwise, the other governments cannot justify to their citizens why taxpayer money should be spent reconstructing a country which threatened nuclear war.
This is so false that I don't know where to begin. Maybe it's best at the end, when in 2004 after all the wars, when UN and NATO troops were actually stationed there, a pogrom of a minority happened just because the majority heard a rumour that they killed some children somewhere bin the country.
The problem with this is that it only gets applied against the enemies of USA and never to USA and friends.

Not to Saudi Arabia, not to USA/UK/France, not to Israel.

Libya, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Armenia, etc are not worthy victims (see manufacturing consent).

The war fervor and demand for generating damage against "the others" is at an all time high and is very clearly propaganda.

There's no context (2014 to now, interesting things have been happening in Ukraine) nor desire for peace. It's full on white Vs black and calls for action, not diplomacy.

Those of us who have been following Geopolitcs for a while and remember Iraq and others... Will be way more skeptic than to buy a simplified narrative of us Vs "terrible them".
No-one seriously believed Ukraine was going to join NATO, it wasn't even on the cards. This is just a false excuse trumped up by Putin's apologists.

Listen to what he says: he claims Ukraine is a fake state and that it is really part of Russia. In 2005 he claimed that the collapse of the USSR was a geopolitical tragedy and a further tragedy because it meant that many "fellow citizens" were now outside of Russia's borders. I.e. Putin wants to re-establish Muscovite control over vast swathes of territory he believes are Russia's right to control.
Org mode does not "try to be an outliner", it does much more than that. It can do that in 2-3 key presses, which fold the content under each heading.

> CrossLine is an outliner with sophisticated cross-link capabilities in the tradition of the well-respected Ecco Pro.

This is the minimal description in the repository you link to. It does not contain anything, that Org mode does not bring to the table. Org more has sophisticated inter-document linking as well as citations and footnotes. All one needs to write a scientific paper in it and export to tex/latex.

What features exactly is org mode missing for you? I know you wrote, that you tested 10 years ago. Perhaps the picture has changed a lot since then.

Also I understand, that ones own tool often is like a second skin, perfectly matching, what one needs.
Good point. So maybe ADVERTISEMENT (have you advertised to your peers what you have achieved) and LIKEABILITY (are you liked) are two more variables to consider.
On the one hand, instinctively, calling such a large group of people evil feels wrong, it's painting with too broad a brush.

On the other hand, I know where you're coming from. I grew up in NYC feeling pretty much American, but my family is Russian and I speak the language. Over years of encounters with my own extended family and the social network around them, I've struggled to not overgeneralize, to keep context in mind, and to remain open.

But it's hard when you repeatedly encounter so many deeply cynical, bigoted, punitive, and hatefully-normative personalities. I'm hardly a counter-cultural outlier, but I do deviate from the suburban right-wing-materialist worldview that this particular Russian community prefers, so I may as well be from Mars. For that I was told to my face, multiple times, that I'm not normal ("not normal" is the exact phrasing they use) - and because of that I deserve and should accept the criticism and abuse coming my way. And it just keeps coming - casual racism that's basically accepted wisdom and notably bloodthirsty (nuke em all and don't look back!). Then, habitual low-level fraud that no one even recognizes as such (you should really file for divorce! then you can do (a) and (b) and get this [social benefit!]), the elevation of hustle and cunning above all other forms of intelligence, and smug superiority when it comes to political and ethical questions.

The war is some kind of last straw for me. Now, I hear a group of people speaking Russian, I feel an instinctive revulsion. It's not good, but it is what it is.
War should not be about issues outside of war. Even Rome accepted enemy athletes into the Olympics.
Kleppmann will not help you in real life situations, it's a textbook that you might read to understand what are the things you don't have to/need to worry about.
Just talked about this today with a few of my Russian friends.

This only prompts Putin ratings to grow.

It frustrates the opposition (30% of Russians).

But it also makes the supporters hate the west even more.

So if all these sanctions are there to frustrate people to create a coup and a revolution - its currently working in the opposite direction.

EDIT: I don't mean it as something that I wish, just stating an opinion from locals I have spoken with.
> Yes, but why is this characterized as something negative?

Unfortunately, the text does not provide sufficient context. Shell are not properly supported in any OS (probably except plan9), since 1. the OS provides no enforcement or convention of CLI API interface (there is no enforced encoding standard or checkable stuff), 2. the OS provides no rules for file names to be shell-friendly and 3. there are no dedicated communication channels towards shells or in between programs and shells.

So all in all, shells remain a hack around the system that is "simple to implement the initials" and is annoying to use and write at many corner cases.

> Shells simply developed features that users required of them.

Cross out "simply" and call it convenience+arbitrary complex scripting glue for 4 main goals:
1. piping
2. basic text processing
3. basic job control
4. path hackery
Political representation of a country. Should have been more explicit..
I haven't paid attention to what Google, Amazon, etc. are doing, nor do I particularly care.

NATO, EU, Switzerland and a few others are not trying to hold Russians accountable. They are trying to hit the Russian economy strong and hard to demonstrate that Putin's Russia cannot afford a war against the West. That's after Putin and his representatives articulated several times and in no uncertain terms the threat of a nuclear attack against the West.

Are people going to suffer for it? Absolutely. That's the definition of a war, even if it the West has chosen to use money to wage it, rather than deploying soldiers.

Is it worth it? Time will tell, I suppose.

All I can tell you is that in the past week, I have spent time role-playing/strategizing the entire situation with friends (that's how I evacuate stress, YMMV) and, based on the information I have at hand, I would have done the same if I was playing the West.
Isn't this just the Vue composition API dressed up to look like React? I haven't done frontend in a minute, so apologies if this is ignorant.
React traded one set of footguns for another set. This is also after they fudged with the class component lifecycle methods before tossing in the towel on that entire API.

> If a linter is required to tell me when I'm writing a bug that is not immediately obvious, that is a failing in the framework

yep. They also commandeered the entire use* namespace just so they could get lint to warn when you put a hook outside the start of a function. Hacks on top of hacks.
What a load of whitewashing, relativistic horseshit! Tell me again who leveled Croatian city of Vukovar, who dropped cluster bombs on the civilian population in Zagreb? Whose boots were all over Croatia's eastern territory murdering civilians and pillaging? Yes, it was Serbia's Army, no historical revisionism required.

US bombing Serbia was long overdue, and should have happened sooner so the genocidal war started by Serbia would end sooner. The war robbed me of my future, yours probably too, and you're still apologizing the atrocities.
Yemen?
> Since the Inuit eat so much fat, after generations this gene has selected to be slower so they are not in a constant state of ketosis and therefore save glucose.

I'm not following - ketosis happens after glucose levels are low. How would making the switch to a ketogenic metabolic state a slower process save any glucose? Ketosis doesn't consume sugar, as far as I know.

Also, what are the detrimental effects of ketosis?
I think that article is simply generous bullshit PR from a VC.
For 11 months. Wow.
Russia is targeting cities and civil targets, employing bombs that have been banned (cluster bombs), and committing war crimes, I don't think they currently give a damn about the Olympic Truce.
Thank you. Given that from now on we are the most hated nation on the globe, this means a lot.
Factorial was taken as an example (in this post) exactly because it is such a common textbook example, which also happens to be bad example in the sense that it is not stack-safe.

As for walking a tree, I agree, but this optimization does not work well with trees shrug, making lists a nicer example in my opinion.

As a teaching method, I feel that factorial is a relatively good example because it is fairly easy to grok in your head or on paper. Recursing through a tree adds a lot of mental overhead, so I feel like it could be a follow-up example to factorial, but it's probably too hard as an initial example. Also, switching to a stack-safe function using recursion is again much easier for factorial than it would be for traversing a tree.
Zustand has solved the complexity of state management for me, although getting {employer} to adopt it is of course a different problem altogether.

It's really bizarre to me how poorly useContext works, in contrast to how good everything else in React is for the most part. Having a good, "official" global state management solution that requires little boilerplate would be a huge benefit.
Yes of course, but Putin isn’t going to hold himself to account, so the question is, who is next in line to hold him to account.
Why is performance always argument No. 1? The true rule is, code must be readable and maintainable first. THEN, if there are performance issue with the code (no theoretical ones, you HAVE to have a real-world profiling report of YOUR code in your hands when you argue about performance), you can refactor for performance.
Heat pumps don't work well in older houses that were not build for them. This is not going to be quick at all.
"I feel like the media has done a very poor job explaining what SWIFT is and how exactly it works."

There was a trick where you drew a circle, selected it, then there was a way to drag it around, leaving behind copies (option-drag?), which if you did it slowly and carefully, gave a decent approximation of a pipe. I remember drawing lots of intricate pipe networks as a child.
BBC have a life stream of events. It is not high resolution detail, but gives the main events that everybody else is reprinting after. Associated Press has something like that as well.
The MPAA blacklist was a direct consequence of the House Unamerican Activities Committee investigations into Hollywood. It wouldn’t exist but for government intervention. The blacklist itself did not violate the first Amendment, but the actions of HUAC did.

Look, you’re hell bent on claiming mUh CaNcEl cUlTuRe for this poor conductor. Apparently he never supported any violence and doesn’t condone the current invasion either. Ok, let him just say that. Until then, I and other like minded individuals want nothing to do with with him. If you feel strongly about it, write to the various orchestras and tell them how you and your many freedom loving friends will fill the seats.
You are right, I was only playing with the numbers, hence my smiley on the end of the sentence. Every case is different, violence should be avoided if possible!
FLOSS is only political in the sense that it's not. For example, given freedom 0, you may use the software at an abortion clinic. No matter what the author thinks of abortion.

It's weird and arbitrary to ban Gab, but not TorServices and related Tor apps.

The other day I spoke with this older Russian lady that works at the local pub - she overheard some of us patrons talking about the situation, and she went into a 20 min rant about western media being pure propaganda, that Putin was such a great guy, and that there was no real war. It was quite bizarre, as she's been living here since the mid-90s.
> The only thing different is that Ukraine is closer to EU than the rest of the countries.

That's one (big) factor, but Putin's casual mention that nuclear weapons were on the table if anyone got in his way was also a good way to get everyone's attention.
Just to add to what has already been said about money, visas, etc.: you’d also be facing the choice of leaving your family and friends behind.
> No, but your comment was.

How? I don't remember saying the invasion is justified. I was addressing the claims of propaganda.
That's right - without a backend server, I couldn't think of a great way to manage a private API key. That means that users have to sign up for their own keys (instructions on the "Currency Sync" page under "Settings") if they want to use currency sync.

I thought I'd added a description to the error you get if you're still using the default "demo" key - clearly not, I'll add that it.
If they need convincing they are not engineers and maybe you want to let them go and destroy one of your competitors?

Donetsk and Lughansk also declared independence years ago, only now is Russia doing something other than financial/military support.
Neutrality doesnt mean subjugation.

I have friends and family who are suffering because of this. I dont use my words lightly.

Hearing westerners cheerlead for this war is painful, most especially when it could have been prevented just by saying NATO ends at the western Ukrainian border.
> They believe in the propaganda mostly, celebrate the victories over "nazis" and support Putin.

I've had a coworker posting on FB how he's supporting Putin and "Russia doesn't start wars, it ends them."

He left Russia for US in early 2000s, returned for a year in 2018 and is now in London.
By writing "explicitly neo-Nazi" I was saying "there is absolutely no doubt that these guys identify as Nazis".

Technically, cuba working with the soviets caused USA to propose a LOT of sanctions against them (that are still there), and also planed a false-flag attack on US soil to get a 'reason' to attack cuba - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods ..so ukraine joining nato is not that much different.

What putin is doing now is something along the Kosovo playbook... someone has interest in some area somewhere (us in kosovo, putin in donbas/lugansk), they help the separatists, the main country fights back, and then they start war (bombing in case of yugoslavia, this now in case of ukraine), to get what they want. Putin also mentioned weapons of mass destruction in ukraine ("the iraq playbook" USA used), but the theory didn't get a lot of traction.

Also, it's just the beginning of the war, so you can expect the propaganda machines to work 24/7 on both sides, so what the truth is, will probably never be know and will be rewritten by the winners and CNN.
Zero trolling with reply: You mention China is a list of countries that negotiated with Russia, presumably to avoid an invasion of Ukraine. Honestly, I have not heard anything about this before your post. I tried Googling, but I could not find anything. Can you help to provide at least one good news source to get me started? I am curious to learn more.

I also agree that it seems like Putin delayed the invasion after the Winter Olympics. And damn you Putin for invading during the Winter Paralympic Games (Fri 4 Mar to Sun 13 Mar). What a shame. (Side note: I am happy to see each Olympics brings the Paralympic Games more and more into the spotlight. I look forward to the day that events are rightfully held in parallel.)
Chinas CGTN english channel is the same. The version you get inside China is very different to the international version.
Many people also did not care about Georgia. So while cultural proximity is certainly a factor, geographical proximity seems to be a significant factor, too.

I don't think Sreberenica is forgotten or was ignored in Europe. The West seems to be slow to wake up -- and Putin got high on his sequence of "successful" wars. I don't want to deny that hypocrisy exists here, but it doesn't justify Putins crimes anywhere.
This is about "feels like" and me too--the little newsletter popup and lack of substance shows this. React became obsolete over the past few years as browsers increasingly adopted the mix of web components features (eg componentDidMount vs connectedCallback). Just using React, and the explanations for why a technology is and isn't used in an organization speaks to the level of practical knowledge and detritus in projects. That products survive this long with React illuminates how resistant the community is to... reading and doing work in the easiest, pragmatic way possible. Like why bother writing an article like this?
No identity, no stakes, no reason to believe you. Put your reputation on the line if you want your opinions to be treated as anything other than computer-generated noise.
The people who are supposed to wake up already did. The people who don't give a shit will not give a shit.

Putin is with a democratic party. Do you know how big it is? It's more than half the country.

Now, waking up in this context means civil war.
After a day digesting the ancient and modern situation, I've come to a conclusion that might be comfortable.

I don't know how diverged e.g. the Scythians were from the Amyrgians (of whom I'd never heard of until yesterday), but it is clear that they distinguished one from another. However, would an Athenian distinguish between them? Would a Scythian distinguish between a Spartan and an Athenian?

It seems to me that there are no clear boundaries between "peoples" or "nations". For me a Han and a Manchu are both Chinese, but they might see a Polish Jew as no different than a Lithuanian Jew. And yet the Polish Jew from Loz will see his identity distinct from the Jew from Warsaw.

So back to the conflict at hand, from the perspective of Slavic history there is merit to considering the Ukrainian and Russian peoples as the same people or nation. From the perspective of wishing to live under different systems of values and authority, there is also merit to considering them as distinct. Note that the gift of Crim to Ukraine during the 1950s was "a gift from the Russian people to the Ukrainian people" so at that time the Russians were making a distinction between the two.

As usual when considering human relationships, it's complicated )). There's an old joke about the Irishmen talking about how close they are - until the end. You've probably heard it.
> Putin isnt Hitler.

I agree. He wants to be like Stalin. He wants to be greater than Stalin.
