Dear Customer Support, have you ever personally risked your life to make a coup against authoritarian government? Look at how many Russians sit in jail for trying to speak up against Putin! These people get raped in jail, their children grow up without parents and food!

Just google “ russian jail rape leaks” and check out yourself how the Russian government treats ANYORN WHO DARES TO OPPOSE!

It’s so fucking easy to sit in a comfort of your own home in a democratic country where you don’t get killed for going against your own government!

I would be happy to take a look how you would be ready to make a coup when you have little children who will die if you get thrown in jail for joining demonstrations!

You have such a fucking one sided point of view. Use your brains for once or come to Russia and try to join demonstrations - you will get a front row seat to heaven because you will get beaten, thrown to jail, raped and killed. If you are lucky, you will only get beaten up.

Fuck you.
His handling? He was asked to help. He said he would be happy to help. The rescue team requested that submarine from him.

What bothers you here?

Now if you had said it was that he called someone pedo I might understand. But that's not what you said here.

The guy who was called pedo wasn't even a rescuer. He was not on the rescue team, but he did help them find the kids.

> Conversely they've been pretty effective at stopping information about their own disposition of forces being posted to social media, or at least it's not being retweeted anywhere I've seen.

I'm a bit twisted about this. In school, as a German, we were told that the Nazis only reported their wins, not their losses, and how this was such a terrible thing to do (I'm not saying Ukrainians are like Nazis of course.)
What has actually changed for you? Is there anything you can do to prevent the threat? What specifically is your fear that's associated with the threat?

Nothing has really changed if you're outside of Ukraine and Russia. There should be virtually zero impact to your day to day life.

I assume you're not a politician or diplomat. There's probably nothing you can do to change Putin to stop making threats. These sort of threats have gone on for a long time - there was a whole period called the Cold War. Nothing has come out of them so far. Why do you think they will now? Do you have some info that the intelligence agencies don't?

In my mind, there's nothing you should fear about the threat. You should have basic emergency preparations that cover a variety of scenarios. There's not much you can additional do to help your survival outside of going high-dollar prepper and getting a bunker and training/consultation (KI could be a cheap thing to make you fell better, but if you're that close, there's going to be other major issues).

Basically, all of this is outside of your control. There's no point in worry about something that's not likely to happen and that you don't have any influence on. You've done everything you can (assuming basic emergency preparation), so it's time to make peace with the fact that whatever happens you'll have to deal with it at that time.
Yeah they should have said "special non-millitary operation" instead, right?
"We didn't make the test. The bar is lower so more of every group passes. Fate decides who gets in, we don't add or remove anything based on legacy or donations etc."
This looks quite interesting! Thanks will check it out.
Exactly. The OP said what they needed to in plain text because it captures what they wanted to say in the simplest format.

If they had needed to convey an image or contextual information like some rich API spec, they would presumably have used something else.
Having lived in the US for almost a decade, I did not see any less bureaucracy (for example, two tax returns - Germany is a federation too but I only need to file one).

I also hear nightmare stories from other countries far surpassing anything we Germans could cook up, for example from India or from some African countries (not exclusively). "German bureaucracy" is a nice meme, I highly doubt that it even remotely reflects reality accurately. I don't mean that there isn't a lot, I mean that I doubt it's significantly or even any more than elsewhere. It's also highly subjective, depending on what part one is exposed to. Everybody only ever interacts with a tiny part of the overall system after all, and it very much depends on the context, so I doubt there can be a single answer that is meaningful except for media headline generation and effortless quick comment posting.

Also, the exact same bureaucracy and rules can save effort, be good for society overall or even lives, or (and) it can be a great hindrance to progress, again depending on the exact context.
I wonder how much land in Europe is more than 200km away from a major city. Not much, I think.
Which is a pretty bold claim, completely unsupported by evidence. The Ukraine has a ton of highly-proficient very online people, the idea that they need shadowy outside help seems like an attack more than a serious claim.
I am surprised at how my contempt for the author grew as I read. The author bares her soul in this beautiful piece. I have been in similar situations where irrationality completely takes over my being; and yet, I feel almost disgusted at the lack of self-respect displayed by the author (writing to the wife!? really!?). I'm curious as to why this happens. I would expect more sympathy towards her from myself. But no.

I now wonder whether this is a known psychological phenomenon.
Qt5's qtbase module is over 2 million LOC, and doesn't even cover QML, QtQuick, etc.

Just having proper abstractions over each platform[1]'s:

- windowing

- KB/mouse/tablet/touch input

- raster painting

- 3D APIs (Vk, D3D, GL, Metal...)

- text layout and rendering

- support for accessibility APIs

+ things such as generic data models for tables and trees, etc... is already an immense amount of work, and you haven't even started drawing a single button yet.

Third World War warning from Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov: Nuclear weapons will be used and have devastating consequences
> No it doesn't. Try a plain text description of an electronic circuit vs a circuit diagram.

I'm not an EE, but there's SPICE for regular electronic circuits and SysVerilog et al for logic circuits. Math can be typeset in LaTeX, though its plain text readability depends on the formula. Category theory diagrams can be written in a simple language. Sheet music is some sort of XML, though I imagine there could be a more human writable/readable plain text format for this too. There was also a recent post about Markdown diagrams. And of course, code is still entirely text.

Much of what you mentioned can be described in a concise, portable text-based language. Though these documents are readable as text, they can be further rendered for best readability. Luckily, many can also be live previewed.

They're just really enormous libraries with a ton of tiny details you have to get right. Same reason there are so few good FOSS CAD programs or word processors. Tons of work.
> All the Russian speaking Ukrainians are pro Ukraine and want the Russians out.

I didn't say they wanted Russian occupation necessarily, just that they were separatist from Ukraine. They were all significantly in favor of Ukrainian independence from USSR of course.

> So how likely do you think it is that those regions are really separatist?

Are you in denial of the existence of Ukrainian separatist regions and the Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic?
> Waveform Graphics, Sixel and ReGIS (please look those up if you are not familiar) came to DEC terminals in the 1970s and 1980s, and still do not have widespread adoption.

And that’s a damn shame. Sixel might not be perfect, but it is very useful to be able to see images over ssh without having to use an X tunnel. Gnuplot with its sixel terminal in a tmux session is a decent dashboard, lightweight and which pretty much requires no setup.
So pro/rel. I think Mexico’s soccer league has a multi year relegation system like this already.
And the start of the "book" also explains an example: https://kdab.github.io/cxx-qt/book/getting-started/2-our-fir... Fully agreed that should be more obvious though.
I'm not scared of it. But my "prepper geek" nature somewhat regrets not having bought a Geiger counter ten years ago when I had a better contract and more money to spend on nonessential things. Now that I'm saving money for my forthcoming unemployment (<3 years of my contract left) and making plans for creating a software company, spending money on stuff like that seems a bit silly.

I recently watched Station Eleven. I know people will disagree but in my opinion this series had unprecedented realism. Even though it was about a pandemic its overall positive message also applies to a (much worse) nuclear war. Our civilization would go but mankind would survive and build a new and perhaps even better culture on the remaining patches of land that were still habitable.
Interesting. I would consider sponsoring for my little side project, a couple of new customers could cover the cost. But it would be nice to clarify:

- What is the current price. I can see you have an ad so presumably it is >30.

- Do I pay quarterly? I think that is implied but it isn't quite clear.
Everybody does this during war, would you expect the opposite? Would you yourself voluntarily share news of your own country's losses during war?

Thank you for posting this and thank you to everyone for the thoughtful replies.

I just want to say you’re not alone. I was recently in DC while this war was starting and I found myself having many of the same thoughts. The one that sent me into overdrive was, what if I’m away from home and the missile alert comes up on my phone and I’m separated from my family and can’t even say goodbye.

I haven’t been able to express this to anyone close to me out of embarrassment, as I know it’s mostly unreasonable. It’s left me almost entirely in my own thoughts which as many who have dealt with anxiety know, isn’t usually a good place to be.

Hopefully OP, others, and myself are able to take some of these nuggets of advice to heart and find a way to quiet the anxiety.
Wait, I thought it was the reptilians.

I think it's a finders-keepers situation. The owners were nowhere to be found and probably was blocking someone's driveway.
"Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized that Ukraine’s acquisition of nuclear weapons would pose a serious danger to Russia and this situation would lead to a new world war"

The Russians are making things up. I have not heard of the West planning to give nukes to Ukraine.
This has been an ongoing question for years.
Are you also off-planet because of the fallout that would wash over our planet for the next several months? Because the blast radius is quite limited, but a nuclear annihilation scenario has vast amounts of radioactive dust circling the planet for quite a while.
I think the real problem is a bit deeper: Unorganized raw data itself is of very low value, but it becomes much more valuable when humans process, categorize, and interpret it via a higher-level system of reason. We're doing a lot of the former but not the latter: we have so much data but have no idea what they all mean as a whole.

Libraries aren't just "a bunch of books piled up in shelves", they're a historical invention built and perfected for centuries where books are extensively coded and catalogued via a complex hierarchical system. As we are dealing with far more data than the past (not just books but posts and comments from all over the world, as well as new kinds of media such as images and videos), and also have new kinds of conceptual and technological inventions that previous librarians didn't have access to (hyperlinks, databases, graph theory, machine learning, etc.), the current status of data management begs for a major overhaul. (For example, the best we are currently doing for querying and searching from massive data is Google, and it is incredibly primitive! And even then we lament that the quality of it has decreased in favor of SEO-maximizing content.) So much raw data is created every day, and we just seem to fail to understand and interpret almost all of it, I see it as one of the major historical crises we face today. Instead of just storing data, we must find radical new methodologies and tools to search, filter, and explore data, and this poses as both a philosophical problem (of semiotics, linguistics, and hermeneutics) as well as a technological problem.
The Mill architecture has no desire to be commercialized. I honestly don't know why anyone would care about it. Sabotaging RISC-V for the sake of this isolated island project is a very weird trade off. I'm sure adopting RISC-V will save a life or two. With the Mill project you're unlikely to see it even be manufactured at scale.
It's about civilian population not accidentally leaking intel through their personal twitter.

Of course, official propaganda of any county at war would highlight wins and dim the losses, if anything but for morale purposes.
There are countless images and videos on Telegram/Twitter of abandoned and captured Russian vehicles, including many not used by Ukrainian forces.

Some of them are surely staged for Psyops, but by sheer volume plenty of them must be authentic.
Was phrasing the statement from the perspective of a model "player", but I guess knowing whether "SALET" is in the answer list is not quite the same as knowing where each word is in the list, so you could semi-cheat and use the answer list as your definition of "common", without gaining too much knowledge.
Ignore it and try to get the most of your current situation with the resources available. The nuclear threat is real, but since you can't do anything about it, you shouldn't spend your resources on it. Focus on things that are under your control.
RU's aggression against UA: EU bans certain Russian banks from SWIFT system
Biden has already given him the green light to take Ukraine. He explicitly keeps saying we won’t commit ground troops, unless he enters NATO. The message is keep your imperial ambitions to non-NATO countries.

That’s pretty much the deal at this point.
Disposition doesn't necessarily mean wins and losses - in this case it means where the forces are located, their strengths and capabilities, and what they are planning to do. It is entirely appropriate that this kind of information is kept secret.
I went for SOARE, TULIP, NYMPH.

The first two to get all the verbs in and then NYMPH to get as many consonants as possible, it's generally not too bad it seems.
I don’t know about you, but the point the teachers made when I was in school in France was more that they were censuring things like soldiers letters to their relatives and journal articles, which is bad, rather than officials emphasising victories without mentioning defeats, which is not ideal but understandable when morale plays such an important role.
Let's all calm down and negotiate whatever it takes to end this conflict now, and pay whatever is needed to make peace.

Ukraine must promise to not join NATO, may join EU later on, gets whatever help is required, anyone who wants to reside in a NATO country is offered free relocation and so on.

This has to end, or we'll all regret it.
No it absolutely is the way to win in the fewest moves. When you have more than 2 equally possible words then the next word should be a choice that reduces the search space rather than going for a guess.
Plasma air conditioning technology inactivates Covid aerosol in real-time
That's curious. Browsing the web is the only thing I do that gets my work MacBook (and my personal X220) hissing at me.
Even if it ended up as a nuclear conflict (and I think it's highly unlikely - everyone has too much to lose) between China / Russia vs the West they probably wouldn't bomb minor countries.

What's more likely to be nuked, London or Tirana?
North Koreans manage to get DVDs of Marvel movies. The Russians will manage - they’ve still got actual access to the Internet.
I wouldn't trust the translation.
Well, considering how unstable Pakistan was at times, it seems just not thinking too much about it really helps. Or North Korea.
I'm pretty sure that's a violation of the Geneva convention

I'm gonna point out though, that Ukraine has far more shared values with Russia than the west. Ukraine aspires to be under the sphere of influence of the west than Russia for economic reasons. This conflict is a bit like the Northern Ireland troubles, except the difference was that mainland Europe could do was to watch at the time
This is flame bait from a site that doesn’t even use coherent English sentences. Would it be appropriate to flag?
What kind of source is this?
I think "vapid" is generous. The author seems to have no grasp of concepts like encoding, representation, and medium. And the other responses to the critical comment (not troll) quite miss the point.

I have a large amount of digitized data, including programs I first hand wrote on paper and then transferred to punch cards, poems written on paper and later typed in, photographs I've scanned, photographs I've taken digital photos of, scanned books and articles that contain text in various languages along with images, digitized music and videos, etc. Some of these consist of "plain" (whatever that means) text and some don't. I've been accumulating this data since the 1960s. When I think about my collection and the ways I manage it, and my knowledge of encodings, representations, and media, and then read this article, my most polite response is ... smh.

That said, I think there is a valid point in all that confusion, and it is stated by several of the comments on the article: use Markdown or something similar (but MD is usually the best choice) when you can rather than Word or other proprietary binary formats. But MD is not "plain" text.

I am working as Security Architect for a F500 company. I am a member of a worldwide distributed team and I am involved in several projects about network, infrastructure and cloud security.
Even if I am not a developer, I can code in Python and Golang and I have knowledge of DevSecOps methodologies and security pratices.
At my school, it was the genocide that was emphasized as the terrible thing, not the military strategy.
Firstly, there are zero tanks on the videos. Secondly, "snatched" is a very bold claim. There is a sizable number of videos of discarded Russian vehicles, but if you watch closely there is no blood and zero dead bodies. It looks like the Russian army simply discards vehicles with technical issues to keep forces mobile (this is why you see the vehicles towed, not moving by themselves). And lastly, in the second half of the second video the towed anti-air system is used mostly by the Ukrainian army (the Russian army uses more modern systems), so it looks like the Ukrainian army simply transports an immobile vehicle using an expropriated civilian tractor.

Truth is the first casualty in war, indeed.

* Their site works without JavaScript enabled

* Very simple and lightweight

* Strong support for standards and portability

* Open Source (as in FOSS) Stack, including their UI. https://git.sr.ht/~migadu/

* They're not after investors or scaling: https://www.migadu.com/procon/
Yes there are some really interesting projects, also in the ML replicability space.

One really nice approach is the DAT project [1]. The protocol [2] looks pretty sensible and useful. Unfortunately, the tooling has been in such a state of permanent flux (i.e. perpetual deprecation) that I've never bothered to invest much time.

I write all my notes for day to day in a plain text file on my desktop much better than a notepad tbh.
In my experience its because they are more interested in researching interesting things, rather than delivering the project/task they are assigned to. Basically jump down every rabbit hole they can find!

I have contemplated a more fully-functional device, but I don't get the need for OCR - I can type way more accurately on my keyboard than I can write. By a lot. Anyway...

I've had other devices with pens, but never really used them. I got the Remarkable for my wife and it really compels me to use it, but not with any features, just the writing aspect. I can't tell you whether it's the texture, the screen or something else, but it just does. I admit the same could happen with other E Ink writing devices like the Onyx Max Lumi 2, but I don't have any of them to confirm.
