> leads ultimately to a radical purifying of love

Yes, this can be directly paralleled with the jhana of equanimity, which canonically follows the Dark Night. ("Equanimity" itself being the fourth vipassana jhana, whereas the "Dark Night" is essentially a feature of the transition from the second and/or third to the fourth vipassana jhana. The consistently "apophatic" character is hopefully clear enough from the very fact that it is understood as a transition stage between different degrees of insight.) Daniel Ingram's book on Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha does a very nice job of "decoding" the Buddhist tradition in very modern and understandable terms, and I'm not aware of people involved in the actual tradition who have raised any deep, substantive objections to the understanding he conveys.

(Note that "Dark Night" as applied to vipassana meditation is a modern term, but one that does reflect traditional understanding of the relevant jhanas-- the Buddhist traditional name is apparently "dukkha ñana", or "Knowledge of Suffering", and in the Vimuttimagga it is known, rather descriptively, as the stage of "fear and disadvantage and disenchantment", followed by "delight in deliverance and equanimity". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vipassan%C4%81-%C3%B1%C4%81%E1... It was not the result of forcefully "importing" something that came from outside, but rather of carefully drawing empirically-sensible parallels between the two traditions.)
Any recent update on the correctness of the 'nuclear winter' concept?
This is nice. Once of my favorite palette tools is coolors.co, and they have a nice feature that let's you hit spacebar for a new palette. Would be useful here too I think.

Also would be nice to "apply" the colors from an upload image to the various scenarios. I.e. grab X colors from image and generate would cycle through various forms of those (possible adding extra complementary colors as needed).
I'm sure you already know this, but “genre” boundaries are fuzzy. (Some people refute the concept entirely, which I think is a bit silly.) There are several different ways to define each genre. If you can do some magic with your genre data that lets me sort some books into what I think of as genre classifications (say, if I consider Star Wars a fantasy work), then automagically lets me filter by that… Not sure how useful, or possible, that actually is, but it seemed like a good idea when I started writing the comment.

Apart from thinking that Minecraft was set in Washington D.C., it gave multiple good-seeming suggestions for all the random topics I thought to put into it. That's pretty impressive, especially given (or, perhaps, because) your data is manually curated. Have you considered supporting Bookwyrm-flavoured ActivityPub, for (potentially curated) reviews?
Fwiw I've seen a lot of pictures of tanks and other heavy vehicles stranded in muddy fields (presumably wheat or sunflower).
The problem is that due to the gigantic shift that happened in news/journalism in the last 20 years, due to the introduction of new technology, the consequent disruption of traditional markets and all the changes that came from that, it is now hard for an average person to determine whether what they are reading is coming from a trusted source. Even within well known news outlets, blunders and retractions are relatively common, while 20/30 years ago they would have been the exception. I share your sentiment that anonymous sources are vital but it seems we don't have a very good way to convince people to trust what they say, unfortunately. Before going into tech about 12 years ago, I used to be a young journalist, I could see the start of that implosion from the inside. Nowadays I practice extreme "news minimalism" because I consider 95% of what's out there either unreliable or "noise". It's sad.
There is not even a JRE anymore, current best practice is to create a platform-specific lean package with jpackage that will only contain the modules that is actually used (decreasing binary size as well startup time). So the current direction is very much away from the old ways.
Defender advantage is substantial in situations like that. Moving targets are a lot harder than stationary ones. Ukraine armor is concentrated around the main cities instead of strung out in long vulnerable stationary lines.
Not really? Wouldn’t the streamlit app/notebook/editor experience compliment the snowflake data warehousing solutions well?
yes, I'll +1 this. The Amazon Bookstore at U Village is (was?) great. Super helpful staff, roomy, good curations/recommendations, and way way cheaper than independent bookstores. I'll miss it
Have to admit, my nuclear war anxiety has never been as high as it is now.
> When you back nav, you are seeing the response to a GET request to /reply?id=BLAH

With the text you previously entered, which the browser restored. If it did not for you, you have non-standard settings like disabled caching. I can assure you that it behaves the same on Firefox for Linux, Windows, macOS and Safari on iOS: go back, form content is restored.

In fact, the entire internet is full of people trying to get rid of this behavior.
Why would they buy whole foods if they're just going to sell their competitive advantage to their competitors?
To everybody reading this. Maybe in the 50s or 60s it made sense when Russians had 50 nukes or so. Now they claim they have a few thousand. I believe 10% of these will nuke them during takeoff, based on the deplorable state of their equipment we see now. Maybe a few ICBMs will be shot "down" in the last moment but I'm not sure how much this will help. When the world around you dies, do you really want to survive? I would prefer to live in the city and quickly die with my friends rather than move 200 miles away from civilization and experience inevitable illness, famine, nuclear winter and painful death.

Also, I don't believe a nuclear war will happen because those who actually push the buttons proved in the past they are far more rational than their leaders.
> The company initially claimed the feature wouldn't work on its new 12th Gen processors and then backtracked when motherboard vendors found multiple workarounds to enable the commands. After a bit of cat and mouse with motherboard vendors that built new firmware to enable the feature despite Intel's attempts at disabling it, the company has finally decided to deploy the nuclear option and fuse off AVX-512 support entirely inside newer revisions of the Alder Lake chips.

To me, if Intel said it wouldn't work and board manufacturer found a way around it that's cool, but I don't have anything against them actually fusing it off. We don't know how their yields are. It's entirely possible that they dropped AVX-512 because no-one was using it in consumer CPUs yet they had to support it as a "feature" and that meant QC headaches.

In other word, Intel sells that CPU without AVX-512 capabilities. It means that by fusing it off they aren't downgrading the product that they are selling. You get what you pay for.
> * Python and Django (for the backend) with Graphene (for the open GraphQL API [1]) and Django Channels with websockets over GraphQL [2] for subscriptions

Why doesn't the backend use WASM and/or Wasmer?
Well, why not? Neil Young is 76, Sting is 70, Bob Dylan is 80. At that point it's better to just sell the catalogue for an enormous amount of money to do things with.
> Indeed NATO certainly expected Ukrainians to just surrender.

NATO expected (and AFAICT, still expects) Ukraine to be defeated if Putin attacked and wasn't dissuaded by the resulting sanctions from pressing the attack. I don't think they were expected to just surrender.
No, it's not. And thinking like that is not helpful. "Best way to get rid of a drug addiction is to not get addicted in the first place" is similarly helpful, which is not at all.

There are ways to act that maximises the chance of surviving a nuclear attack, just like there are ways of maximising the chance of getting rid of a addiction.
Early C# didn't have partial classes and had the generated code in the same file as all of the rest of your code, as well. They put it in regions that VS would automatically collapse for you, but it was still directly there. I think it was C# 2.0 that added partial class support and they started moving the designer generated code into separate files which was truly helpful.

I don't think C# was ever as bad as MFC was with true magic generated code that you had better not change lest you inadvertently broke everything beyond repair (unless you really understood cryptic C++ error messages & preprocessor usage). MFC of the same era was not beginner friendly, even C# 1.0 was.

I've never had the (dis)pleasure of doing java UI work, though, so I can't really comment on the state of things there.
Oh my sweet summer child. The anonymous intelligence officials are the govt appointed propagandists! NYT is full of them parroting the government line. None of these people on a cushy job are risking their freedom leaking anything that they weren't literally tasked with leaking to their media contacts; the ones that did are in prison.
Why 12 years? By superpower what are you measuring to determine this?
There's an easy way to put plastic back into the carbon cycle: burn it.

I haven't had this happen with albums that I can verify are currently unavailable on bandcamp, but I have ran into an issue before where an Artist updated the album with more tracks and a "remaster" which means I couldn't get the originals anymore. Luckily I usually buy the CD and keep it in storage as a backup I can rip from.
Could be a boost with content for well, content/game creators using UE among other things.
With how painless Amazon generally makes returns for regular customers, I could see it being a viable alternative to in-person browsing for one to buy several different brands of item and just return all but the least cheap-feeling one
Good point. I'd show up for a pub crawl were it within a 30 minute drive from me (front range of Colorado, USA).
Me too, but I use it in a way I know many music artists wouldn't be happy with.

I don't care about "personal rewards", but I do care that my contribution makes a tangible difference to what the artist might be able to do. Basically, if they're already doing great, I won't be gilding their lilies, no matter how much I love them.
Machine clock being wrong? IDK about the US, but in the UK we have at least 2 different radio-clock signals to choose from for machine synchronisation (one is domestic, one is based in Germany so you can still get it if reception is good). Neither requires internet access or any setup, and is cheap enough to integrate into sub-$30 electronics.
I have in my life used a couple of SPAs where I thought "Man, this works really smoothly and quickly!" Like there have seriously been a couple really good ones.

They absolutely can be done right, I've built one I think is done right. I've built a couple. I don't think the average team has it in them to build a good SPA.

The majority of SPAs are user hostile hot garbage.

The 95% of other SPAs were full of minor frustrations that could have been easily avoided by not being an SPA including

1. Completely unhandled errors with no indication anything is wrong.
- This is a majority of SPAs. Any request error on flakey internet? Don't bother tell the user, just break.
- The sheer number of times I've needed to open inspector to see that something has gone wrong… At least an actual non-SPA request that fails will show you an error page.
2. Broken… native… everything
- 2.1 Especially "broken open link in new tab"/middle click - see next.
3. Inability to run the site in multiple tabs.
- State is entirely local so state gets broken *easily*.
- Some just outright refuse and warn you.
4. Adding everything I do to the browser history api
- Makes it even worse than the back-button-not-working of old. Have to hit back a thousand times.
- Scrolling SHOULD NEVER add things to my back button. NEVER.
5. High CPU usage on a site doing seemingly nothing
- Looking at you, Medium.
6. Generally being way slower to use than the previous non-SPA website
- Looking at you, Wells Fargo.
7. LOSING MY POSITION ON HITTING BACK
- The sheer number of times I've been scrolling down an infinite list for like 30-45 seconds, click on something, nope not what I wanted, hit back, returned to the top of the list is entirely unacceptable as a society.
- This is very often combined with 2.1 and 3 to make for a truly infuriating experience

Like don't get me wrong, you can do a lot of this junk in a non-SPA but the failure state is almost always better.
It looks like Unreal Engine (which is not open source, but you can get access to the source code) has a "Panini Projection" which does something similar: https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/RenderingAndGraphic...
Of course they did, these are two authoritarian nations only concerned with their own image.
agreed. i dont think youtube needs to be an SPA and simple pages work better. For comparison: porn sites.
Once again, you can thank me...I have the hottest coolest Apple thing...for a week.
> And most of them don't spend the time to implement HTML5 history properly, so they break the URLs - which means you can't bookmark or deep link into them and they break the back/forward buttons.

The majority of routers for React, and other SPA frameworks, do this out of the box. This has been a solved problem for half a decade at least. A website has to go out of its way to mess this up.

That aside,

SPAs are great for a number of reasons:

1. You aren't mixing state across server and client. Single Source of Truth is a thing for a good reason. If you have a stateful backend, and your front end naturally has the state of whatever the user has input, you now have to work to keep those two in sync.

2. You need a beefier backend. A SPA backed by REST APIs is super easy to scale. nginx can serve up static resources (the JS bundle of the site) LOLWTF fast, and stateless REST apis are easy peasy to scale up to whatever load you want. Now you just have to worry about backend DB, which you have to worry about with non SPAs anyway.

3. Less languages to deal with. If you are making a modern site you likely have JS on the front end, so with SPA you have JS + HTML. With another backend framework you now have JS+HTML+(Ruby|Python|PHP|C#|...), and that back end code now needs to generate HTML+JS. That is just all around more work.

I agree some sites shouldn't be a SPA, a site that is mostly text content consumption, please no. A blog doesn't need to be a SPA. Many forums, such as HN, don't need to be a SPA.

But if a site is behaving like an actual application, just delivered through a web browser, then SPAs make a ton of sense.
Okay. I do not trust this journalist.
Ukraine also has javelins and other shoulder fired anti tank weapons
It was widely reported that Crimea was mostly Russian speaking and many there leaned pro-Russia, especially around the referendum ( in the sense that the results were obviously fake, but there was a kernel of truth).

And yes, many in Eastern Ukraine considered themselves more Russian than Ukrainian. No more: https://on.ft.com/35jWHzB
As the theory goes, they want to stop DQ from moving in more than they want to recover the counter space used by the offline ice cream machine.

Good luck with that. There are some jobs at Google that need people on-site, but there are plenty others where people will leave.
Do Googlers mind working in the office much? They get plenty of free meals/snacks/beverages, great equipment, and great salary allowing them to live close to the office and pay for childcare if needed. I can't see the rest of the industry moving in the direction of returning to the office, because they don't have these things.
They're re-instituting PEEK and POKE from the Apple ][
That link is dead for me.
Actually real attack on Kiev have not started yet. Ukrainians probably deliberately let Russian army to get close to the Kiev and than destroyed all supply convoys for Russian vehicles.

I have this info from one of the journalist who were close to Belarus border in the beginning of the invasion. First he wrote article about how hopeless situation is because he rode a few hours to Kiev before seeing first defense. But after two days all the attacks on Kiev stopped so it probably was smart strategy to make supply lines too long to defend them. Even on Monday he reported that only shelling he saw was from Ukrainian army.
If you had lived in a country that is corrupt at all levels of industry, government, and business you would know that the US is practically pure as driven snow. In the US there is relatively plenty money to go around and even the poor typically live better than in a lot of countries "average standard of living) (barring the poorest 5% or so). I have lived in such a country for a few years and it. is. everywhere. -Everyone- wants a bribe or kickback.
I think it’s interesting that China could dictate the timing to Russia.
After two years of not being in the office, I don't see how anyone can justify going into the office without putting themselves into a quagmire of hypocrisy and contradiction.
Except you're paying for a screen, keyboard, and trackpad you'll never use. Mini's are much more cost effective.
This might be off topic but in terms of communication such as email, plain text seems the most authentic format to me. For example, if you are one of those sales guys that bolds and highlights the important parts of an email that you send, it's off-putting.
The only exception I would give is if you wanted to add an inline image or an emoji -- everything else, plain text.
China is at least an unequaled regional power. If one relies out-of-region projection of power, it may not be a superpower. (By that standard Russia isn't either.)
How will you prevent someone sending emails on behalf of my domain?
This also served as a way of mitigating the impostor syndrome, which I'm sure many of us have dealt (or are currently dealing) with. Do you have any other approaches? I'm interested to read your thoughts!
The preferred way to survive nuclear war is to maximize the chance of not provoking one in the first place.
Everyone's forgotten that monocultures are bad.

For what it's worth, Panic appears to be one of those smaller indie developers similar to say Bare Bones Software or the Omni Group. I think those are sustainable non-startup software shops that can exist and persist on their own.
I was an intern at Amazon in Seattle in 2008 and was ordering groceries and beer from Fresh. It looks like it's a pretty big deal now in most major US cities, but I remember being surprised that year after year after year it seemed to just.... continue existing. Not going huge, but also not getting canned.

On the other hand, maybe that's the real lesson of Grocery Gateway and "dot coms" who tried to do a hard burn on this back in the day— it's a really hard thing to get right, and getting it right requires an extremely long horizon of slow and steady growth.
It is in fact more or less self-financed by... hmmm... a SaaS that I market but it's in B2B.
Interesting, I didn't know that there were cloistered Carmelites. I thought that mendicant == itinerant. According to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discalced_Carmelites it's mostly nuns that are cloistered. Were they nuns or friars?
Same. I have already done at least one bit of prep: buying a Geiger counter.
Communicating the principle is different from understanding code which follows the principle, or does not.
One could argue rails is just doing a decent job of hiding a monstrous amount of unnecessary complexity from you for basic CRUD stuff. It’s good at this… until it isn’t. In the the whole ORM abstraction (not just in rails) is questionable.

The way most of us would handle authorization in something like rails is a leaky abstraction, especially when we’re usually backing onto postgresql which has very mature roles and permissions.
My personal speculation: some other power(s) outside of Ukraine are responsible for using their soft power to handicap the Russian Air Force, whether via hacking or via a secretive-yet-direct physical intervention within Russia.

The "non-news" of Russia Air Force not showing up was not naturally getting coverage in the news, and now DoD figures are making public statements in order to point it out, raise awareness, and poke Putin in the side. Meanwhile, every delay in action from the Russian Air Force weighs heavily in favor of Ukraine.

In this way, major adversaries to Russia that are unable to get directly involved for fear of escalation are still able to place their hands on the scales via more indirect means. Even though there is not official treaty requiring Russian adversaries to intervene, it is often still in their best national defense interests to limit Russia's expansionist tendencies in whatever way they can.

It is all a continuation of major world powers fighting wars by proxy; the dominant pattern of war-fighting after nuclear proliferation became a thing.
I think the poster means China doesn't qualify as one.

I'll take that position. China hasn't achieved superpower status. It hasn't chosen to take the necessary risks.
This is partly what's driven me to second hand/charity bookshops.

No, they don't have exactly the book I've been looking for. But occasionally they have absolute gems that I'd never have found independently.
While I understand your anxiety, it is baseless. This mad person who is so afraid of even his close collaborators that he sits several meters away from them wanted something very different: capturing a country he felt he lost. Who will praise him if there is nobody on the Earth?

Also, make no mistake, his inner circle is full of people who know how to calculate risks and will betray their colleagues in a blink. Putin might be cornered but a collective suicide is not exactly the dream of people around him.
Your not alone, I feel the same way. Born after the cold war ended, I never thought I would be worrying about nuclear annihilation in my lifetime.
Probably the last time Putin is going to grant anyone's wishes.

There's only one way for him out now, and it doesn't involve him being alive. It's only a matter of time at this point.
It is currently a broken system. I don't think there has ever been a time in which trust in news sources has been lower that it is right now, and this is having all sorts of negative impacts in society. One of the problems is that news outlets don't have the right incentives; back in the time of printed paper you would spend your dollar on what you would consider a "trusted" news source, nowadays much of "news" is clickbait. The majority of what I see in online news aggregators today, would have been considered unacceptably low quality back when I was still in the field of journalism (2005-ish)
This seems to be a common occurrence to see how they react. I would not draw too much from it.
If they were daguerreotypes they were printed on silver plates. I think they're supposed to be fairly resistant to water.
