So we invented this story that Russia was bent on aggression in Eastern Europe. Putin is interested in creating a greater Russia, or maybe even re-creating the Soviet Union.

There's no need to "invent" what Putin has very clearly told us in his public speeches. Recreating "historical Russia in the form of the Soviet Union" is the stated goal of what Mearsheimer apparently considers to be Putin's bold act of non-aggression this past week.

What a mindfuck. Only an intellectual can come up with argumentation like this.
Not OP, but it felt less polished to me than his others. Part of it was also that he was intentionally tweaking his style for the series (inspired by pulp Westerns). No dramatic difference, but enough to be slightly off.
No, because there are many foreign white people in America and they don’t consider white Americans to be their ethnic group any more than a Somali or Jamaican considers themselves to be African-American. Even if you exclusively talk about born in America white people there are at least four quite distinct ethnic groups there so there’s limited fellow feeling. And then there are children of immigrants who feel a strong identification with their parents’ ethnic group too. White Americans have as little fellow feeling as Asian Americans, if for different reasons. Asian American identification is a sign of assimilation. Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese people are proud of their own heritage. Anyone who feels that being Asian is an important part of their identity probably speaks the language of their ancestors badly or not at all.

For forms-over-data business applications, sure it's fine. It's tradeoffs around the system use cases, potential/realized functionality, and team.

But I think that serving to public users with server-driven MVC for an application that goes beyond a pure content app has immediate and obvious limits in terms of what can practically done, and the more you try to overcome those limits the more you simply rebuild what is already available in the SPA side of things.

It's also inherently monolithic, meaning that if you want or need to support a mobile/native app for your public-facing app, you'll now need to develop a new "interface" (an API), when you should have already done that to enable the web app in the first place. Is it really worth skipping API/UI separation on day 1 when you know it's going to be needed on week 2?

You might say, it's fine, we're going to just make API calls for the Javascript, but then you've got an inconsistent availability of the functionality, and the second you hand that to another team to consume you will have wished you had simply built out all of the needed functionality directly in the API anyway.

Yup, all stars other than the Sun are below our ability to resolve as anything other than a point, so they do indeed look dimmer than the Sun to us.

The inverse square law always applies, but it relates to the total amount of light received by a constant area observer (or density at a pointlike observer). Once you're projecting the image of the source onto a plane with a lens, that doesn't map to surface brightness.

Another place where the inverse square law breaks down is with beams of light, in the near field - consider something like a laser beam. While it will expand, and eventually follow the law once you get far enough, it very much doesn't at close range. And there's an interesting parallel here: to an observer, a collimated laser beam looks like a perfect pointlike object at infinity (modulo the diffraction limit, of course). Another way to see it is that focusing a beam of light in a certain way creates a virtual emitter much further away, and so you need to add that to the distance you plug into the inverse square law.

Pubicly proposed interception mechanisms, like the Clipper Chip, were widely referred to as a backdoor, as have those put forth by the UK government recently for encrypted messaging apps

>>backdoors are defined in part by whether or not they're expected and wanted by the end-user,

This would not be wanted by the end-user. The backdoor in this case is just an imposition on the receiving party, i.e. the merchant, that they'd rather do without.

No tool to let the state eavesdrop on or surveil one's private affairs is wanted by the party being subjected to it. This is unequivocally a backdoor, and it would only win out in the market if tools without backdoors are eliminated from the market by the state, using the state's apparatus of violence (the police, courts and prisons that gain compliance with government edicts).

Ukraine means «fortified area»: укріплення (fortifications) + край (area) = україна (ookruhїnuh, Ukraine). It's a number of fortification lines built to protect Europe from eastern nomads. Russian are replacing Oo by Oh at the beginning to make «Outskirt» (of Moscow) in Russian language. Don't spread falsified version, please.

One of the French engineers, who built fortification lines, Guillaume de Beauplan[0], created the first map (1639) and wrote a book about Ukraine.

It was correct to refer to these fortifications as «The Ukraine» before Ukraine received independence from the Russian Empire, but no longer.

What is the mainstream Progressive justification for discriminating against Asians?
I doubt that some New Yorker journalist can really appreciate the gravity of what Miyazaki has done to gaming. The man switched careers in his 30s and literally changed the face of video games, releasing one highly influential game after another. Yes, you die a lot in his games, and they are hard, but that isn't the point. The point is that the influences of Miyazaki games are now visible in almost every AAA game these days. It's tough to really know how much Dark Souls changed the game design zeitgeist unless you play a lot of games (like me). With Elden Ring, he has only cemented his place as once of the great game designers of all time - I really hope some of the design decisions influence other games in the same way.
I know how to simulate the game and get a very good strategy (or see what others have done), but I use different starting word every day because it makes it more interesting.
I'm describing the transition from a Mojang account to MS account, as this thread is about.
Are you saying that

a) since such a cumbersome effort to weed out highly
probable biases, that go unnoticed or unchecked, would
likely be too prohibitively expensive for employers to
undertake and hence any such lofty expectations should be
done away with or
b) are you denying the possibility that such biases can
exist in huge numbers in hiring & career growth decisions?

The former might be somewhat of a valid concern - corporate governance may not have evolved enough to make room for such things yet. Although, given the pace with which other reforms have been addressed in areas of women & BIPOC representation in the workplace, this sort of thing may not be too far out in implementation.

But the latter surely is wrong. It's just that no one wants to be the first to open that can of worms. Thats all.
This. It’s unethical to take away property from Russian people just because of what Putin did.

yeah gradle/maven packages benefit from being much more coarse grain, so fewer large packages, fewer authors, fewer transitives, fewer risks in theory.

There is no "mainstream Progressive (sic) justification" for discriminating against Asians, because there is no progressive political platform built on discriminating against Asians.

Many progressives believe in affirmative action, which doesn't say anything about the particulars of the groups that aren't being explicitly included. Nobody at all is interested in exclusion; they are interested in more inclusion.

The tendency to ascribe profound or wise sounding words to cultures perceived as exotic is interesting. The attribution to Franklin makes sense, the guy said a lot of wise things. Since this does originate in a Confucian context, "Chinese proverb" almost passes muster, but it's not quite complete.

There's probably a good career in pop psychology for someone who can deconstruct the various motivations for false attribution of profound and wise words.

If you're including Game of Thrones and Wheel of Time, then I guess Sanderson broadly falls into that same category. I'd hardly label any of them "rip-offs", though, especially given that there are books out there blatantly ripping off Tolkien right down to elves, dwarves and halflings.

I haven't encountered any. When confronted with the evidence of anti-Asian discrimination, I see mostly denials that it is happening, with claims that performance on standardized tests is not a measure of competency, and thus that the admittence rate for Asians being disproportionately low relative to their standardized test results is not a sign of unfair discrimination.

> Ever wonder why Zelensky is asking the civilians to fight?

Because the total size of the Ukraine armed forces of allservekces is smaller than the Russian + Belarusian land forces deployed against them, not to count the supporting air and naval forces, where Ukraine
is outnumbered by more than an order of magnitude.

> Unless a major power steps in to help ukraine, it'll be "liberated" in the next few weeks. And then ukranians will go on with their lives.

This is as stupid as when people said the same basic thing about the 2003 Iraq invasion. (Something along that line is, IIRC, a big factor in Gen. Franks describing then-Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Doug Feith as “the fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth”.) People can't be relied on to just go back to their lives when a hostile foreign occupation is imposed, even if the regular forces of the preceding government are comprehensively defeated.

> No country is going to step in to fight russia.

Just like no country stepped in to fight the USSR (or the US) in Afghanistan. And neither of the armies involved in that had the degree of morale and logistical problems the Russian Army has displayed thus far in Ukraine.
Would you rather they do nothing, since they are not perfect?
One of the primary things these stories never truly elaborate properly on in the quest to establish social rank out of a caste-based society is that Black Americans, that were native to the US, and even for black migrants to India and other countries, are some of the most affected by caste politics of this kind in employment and work opportunity.

Often having darker skin, Black Americans are even prone to more discrimination domestically. Any editorial that doesn't recognize that fact as a truth has no legs to stand on in my opinion. The fact that people still hang on to caste ideology in any way, and treat it as a continuing reality should disqualify them from any role concerning equal opportunity. "Gradual change and understanding" is not a reasonable discussion in America, or we're all coddling the same violent and hateful past that America was born from.

I write this as someone who has lots of Pakistani and Indian friends, and has regularly struggled to get them to understand how different each of the dynamics are on this matter, but zero tolerance is essential to get people to understand that the issue is more serious and damaging than they could ever know.
Same reason most of the malware ecosystem focused on windows instead of macOS for many years. Scale of your potential target, and also volume of noise that is made when something bad happens. Also it supports nested dependencies and the tools can accommodate large deep trees without much pain, so they tend to grow in size over time.
>Many progressives believe in affirmative action, which doesn't say anything about the particulars of the groups that aren't being explicitly included. Nobody at all is interested in exclusion; they are interested in more inclusion.

Seems like a cop-out to me, especially when dealing with scarce resources (ie. admission slots). The policy of "more inclusion" by giving preferential treatment to one group, ends up excluding everyone else.

edit: reworded "Your policy" to "The policy" to avoid making it about the parent.
Seems very fine with removing agency of the countries involved

With agency: Ukraine has a neighbor who threatens to use Ukraine as a stepping stone, and another neighbor who doesn't

I'm a big fan of the Stormlight Archive where all main characters have some form of mental disorder. That said the last book was getting a bit repetitive, always waiting for the same character to snap out of his seasonal depression in order to save everyone just in time.

I like to write text-files whose content is wrapped into <pre> -tag.

After the pre-section I add:

Pre looks great in Verdana, in the default font not so great.
You might choose to add the style-definition inline into the pre-tag directly. But I like a very simple start for my text-files which is just the <pre> opening tag.

You can wrap parts of the content into other tags like <h2> for headers.
There are Tolkien rip offs, but Tolkien didn’t invent fantasy, and unlike a lot of fantasy authors Sanderson doesn’t include elements like dwarfs, or elves or really anything that Tolkien came up with as far as I can tell. Are you maybe confusing him with someone else?
