My own solution was in Python, so it didn't fall prey to the very common integer overflow error. Python has the amazing and handy property that integers don't overflow.
>Politicians do and have done plenty of good things, from getting bridges built, to Medicare, to fighting a war to stop slavery.

Aside from bridges, all the politicians who did what you said are long dead. How long do current politicians get to rest on the laurels of long dead ones?
> This is a perfect match to the parallel and batched nature of modern gaming workloads

This sounds like marketing speak. Some 'AAA' games now make use of parallelism at the CPU level. Almost all games today aren't just single threaded, they are laughably single threaded.

At the GPU level, rendering has been parallel to some degree since special purpose 3D accelerators showed up decades ago. More recently, arbitrary shaders have allowed some logic that was previously done of the CPU to be moved to the GPU.

Video games are not "parallel" in any sense.

> WebAuthN is designed to let the site limit what kind of tokens you're allowed to use.

As is their right, no? Hopefully (and heavily depending on jurisdiction), service providers will be liable for any fraud happening on their platform, which I believe is only justifiable if service providers are also allowed to take some reasonable fraud prevention measures.

I'll take the requirement for an uncloneable WebAuthN authenticator over privacy-invasive fingerprinting (via location, device sensors etc.) and pointless security theater any day, which seems to be the status quo for many services. (For example, my bank has a habit of locking my account and having me call them about 3 out of 4 times I transfer money between my own checking and savings account.)

You might want to hold your judgment until things are over. You don't judge a football match after the first 10 minutes are passed.
Are these scaling factors baker's percentages? What is the purpose? I.e. what do you use them for? And if these are specified for all recipes, what do you use as the 100% for recipes that aren't based around flour?
You probably know that light has a speed, right? It takes time for light to get from point A to point B. Even from our Sun, light takes around 8 minutes to reach us. From that, you are actually viewing the Sun (relative to yourself) from about 8 minutes ago, by the time the light reaches you. If the Sun just disappeared magically, you wouldn't really know it for about 8 minutes while the light traveled from where the Sun used to be, to your eyes on Earth. So, expand that concept to distances that are billions of not just minutes, but years. A "light year" is just how far light travels in an Earth year. So, we can see about as "far" as 13.5 billion light years away. Which also implies we can see as "far back" (in time) as 13.5 billion years ago.
It is absolutely propaganda. People forget it took the US 3 weeks just to take Baghdad. The idea that Russia thought it would take 3 days to take Kyiv is preposterous.
What about smaller effects? I'm not saying don't work on large scale solutions, but figuring out / iterating on smaller scale problems could give useful information around where problems crop up and how to go about tackling them.

Also trying to figure out what mechanisms are hard to individually subvert?

I do sometimes think that people who spend time building competitive multiplayer games would have some useful input to these questions.

Almost being drowned once can't possibly be compared to forcing a kid to spend 18 years with parents who don't want them. I'm sure there may even be significant trauma from your near death experience, and I'm very sorry you experienced it. But the feeling a child has from a life in an unwanted family has to be, often times, as bad or worse.

If the board or the executive of a startup sees there is no chance of success with the executive, that person ought to bow out or be replaced so the company can have a chance with someone who can and wants to turn it around. If the startup becomes unviable and bankrupt, sometimes it's better to bow out and gracefully transfer the assets to a more viable executive and/or business rather than force something that isn't going to work.

I'm not saying that people should give up easily, but I think it's brave that some families recognize the better option for everyone is to re-adopt the kid a family that wants them rather than force them to live somewhere that's headed towards a train-wreck.
in what way is Russian culture similar to the US?

from a religious point of view, are you suggesting that Eastern Orthodox Christianity is similar to the hodgepodge of various Christian sects in the States?
Yes.

On the streets here, almost everyone I hear supports everything in full. Probably, around 70% support this, and the other 30% are not sure/against it.

The local and nationwide TV states that they found 30 Pentagon-funded biowarfare labs in Ukraine, got all the docs, and are preparing some statements for the West.

Obviously, high-level propaganda flows from Russia and the West both. I suspect the truth is somewhere in the middle.

And if you take a look at videos from Feb, people in the Eastern part of Ukraine don't mind the Russian army there, even wave and show high-fives. My highly incorrect calculations suggest that about 80% of people in Eastern Ukraine support Russia. In the middle part, that figure is maybe 30-40%, and in Western Ukraine near zero.

I have a niece in the middle part (near Cherkasy). It's okay there, and no battles are incoming. So, she doesn't understand what to expect, doesn't support all this clusterfug, but doesn't support the Ukrainian government either.
Although death by a thousand cuts is something, I doubt they would retire from Ukraine because Word now says "please activate". The cost of just pirating it is much lower than that of stopping the war
Nobody wrote “we don’t need a military”, so I don’t know why it’s in quotes. That last paragraph is really strange behavior.

Anyway, every country in the EU has a military, and many are in a defensive pact called NATO. Two NATO countries in Europe are nuclear armed. Russia would have no hope of touching us. This seems fine to me.

I think having fundamentally different ideologies for quite a long time likely doesn't help them be BFF's.
The P5 issues a joint statement on Jan 3rd, 2022 that they won't use nuclear weapons. I am not sure if this is an annual announcement for P5 or just well wishes for 2022 by the nuclear armed permanent members of UNSC. (possibly /s)

Obviously Russia would not start a nuclear war. It will simply take steps that either need to be conventionally opposed or dare US/NATO to go nuclear. Sanctions are hoped to collapse the economy of Russia and put the fear into the Chinese and other fence sitters. It's like running the clock down in a game. US probes for incremental steps (the famous "salami slicing") to ramp up counter force. Nothing should happen until we have Russia's promised counter-sanction response this Tuesday. After that next move is getting planes into Ukraine and possibly NFZ. What follows will be a non-nuclear hypersonic attack on NATO airfields used. And so on. Until someone lobs a nuke.
As long as it's a well-defined, sandboxed component of my phone, this seems like a much better tradeoff than behavioral fingerprinting that just gobbles up as much sensor data as it can get its hands on (while still not completely preventing moderately sophisticated spoofing attacks).
That US military spending has never fallen below 3% of GDP. The two times it got close, we jumped right back towards 4%.

I think you're conflating Russia, where protest is literally a crime, and Europe, where protest is a vital component of functioning representative democracy.

In fact, there's a protest going on right now in my city over mental health care.
When i was in the Air Force, I interacted with alot of russians "On the other side" when wee were building FOBs in eastern europe afteer the invasion of crimea. At work, It was all about defeating the russians. After work, it was about out drinking the russians.

We laughed, we joked but at the end of the day we knew our bossees thought eachother enemies. And at the end of the day we knew that we were activeely working to kill eachother.

That didn't seem to bother us. Alot of people in the military believe what the world has taught us not to believe... That we are the greatest nation in the world and use of force is the only thing that is tangible and real in this world. You're right to Life liberty and property is an illusion and at any point i can kill you and take what you've worked hard for to save. Is it Moral? Yes, because it's real life. The only Amoral things in reality is these illusions that morality exist.

Asking what the russians think isn't the right question. The right question is what percentage of nationalist exist in russia. Because i can tell you one thing, Nationalists believe in this war to their core.

The weak don't deserve the products of their labor if they can't defend it. We've seen this as a fact of life since life has been a fact.

Good Luck Comrades, but one day i will have to kill you for your virtuos beliefs.
Apropos of anything else, there's pretty much zero substance to this. "We tried". "We helped". "We were interested".

It's entirely possible to say each of those things, under oath, be accurate, and still absolutely undercut things.

I wouldn't expect an SVP of Apple, in a lawsuit to say, "Yeah, we really didn't give a shit, and weren't sad that it failed."
I am Russian living in the US, but what I can gather from conversations with my college acquaintances and family that is still living there - there's plenty of Russians who are appalled and against and can rationalize what devastation this war is for Russia, not even taking Ukraine into account, where humanitarian catastrophe is obvious. All those reasons are obvious to any person living outside of Russia and, as I said, to some Russian people. But here lies the problem, these are things that are rational. Most of the "deep" Russian populace may seem irrational now. Here are some of the thoughts they express:

- closing and isolating from West is a good thing - no bad influence and we will keep things, s.a. modernism, liberalism, libertine behavior, e.g. homosexuality and transgenderism away.

- closing foreign markets will boost Russian production and development by keeping all the resources and investments inside and protecting domestic market from unfair competition (e.g. agro subsidies)

- closing travel and foreign countries and markets will keep people inside and by extension will EQUALIZE everyone. Essentially, now there's no rich and poor and everyone is sort of equally poor. Remember, that few folks, s.a. oligarchs, various celebs with their conspicuous consumption are eternal target of people's hate.

- There's no freedom and liberty, all west are hypocrites and they always wanted to subjugate us via harsh force or through soft force. Note, that the western (btw, Australia and New Zealand are considered western in this paradigm) governments forcing vaccinations/masks/lockdowns are used against western governments claim that they are for freedom and liberty.

NATO could not easily control the skies of China, such a suggestion is absurd. they likewise could probably not do the same with Russia.
> And all the Slavic EU countries are going above and beyond to help anyway.

frankly that's not the point. Absorbing that number of people is destabilising, and we really don't want to add more obstacles to cohesion when we are about to bump into a economic oopsey.

The british government are outdooing themselves to appear tough on vulnerable people. having cut off (or tried to) all legal means of claiming asylum, we are now looking at the results: horrific risks by people traffickers, slavery to pay off debts and drownings in the sea.
This is definitely something that's been talked about in the past, so we can assume it's being talked about currently.

I think this is a logical approach to pasting. In Windows, for example, if you start by cutting the file, then navigate to where you want to paste it to, and change your mind, deciding you actually want a copy but to keep the original where it is, then you have to start the operation again from the beginning.

With macOS, you can decide whether to `mv` or `cp` just by pressing a modifier in the destination directory.
> Because that person is paid $2.50/hr for their work.

This is an illegal wage according to federal minimum wage laws. I can't imagine the GP commenter should be responsible for labor law violations beyond reporting it to the relevant local agency. Many states go even farther, requiring the same minimum wage (excluding tips) even for tipped employees, but the federal law already requires minimum wage including tips.

There is a path to a peace agreement. Obviously these wouldn't be unilateral actions, but offerings or part of a final agreement with concessions on all sides:

- no NATO membership for Ukraine (it has already been invaded, there is no loss in taking this position now, and much to gain even if it leads to Russian withdrawal)

- some wider security agreement for the region -- if this means no more events like the NATO bombing of Serbia without UN authorization, that is perfectly acceptable

- repeal of discriminatory language laws, etc., and implement some meaningful degree regional autonomy for eastern parts of Ukraine (and western if they want it), basically Minsk 2 clause 4; or some internationally observed (so not like Crimea) referenda in those regions

- relax and withdraw most/all sanctions, but absolutely those on the central bank and SWIFT (though Russia will obviously and rationally accelerate economic links outside of Western control, as will many other countries)

I think a crucial condition should be no imposed change of government in Ukraine (so like what Russia wants in its military intervention in Syria, and not what the US wanted in military interventions in Libya, Iraq, and wants in Syria, etc.)

As for supporting Russians, I totally agree. One of the problems with the sanctions is that they are going to hurt ordinary Russian people, and are just as likely to strengthen the authorities as much as "encourage" ordinary Russians to change their government ("encourage" through collective punishment). The long legacy of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Iraq, etc., shows that this tactic far more often just hurts and even kills ordinary people rather than anything else.

There are many news pundits and analysts with prominent positions and exposure in print and television news in the US, who say things like, "There are no neutral Russian citizens now, they are all responsible for the invasion now" (this is paraphrasing, but not an exaggeration), at least on their personal twitter feeds. Unfortunately, I think most of the focus on "internal changes" is focused on severe collective punishment of ordinary people, rather than anything else, and so I find most of it counter-productive and cruel.
I used to think that. Then I realized that during the last 5-10 years, international developments have impacted my life far more than what's happening in my neighborhood/municipality. Remote working, covid restrictions, crypto, etc. What happens in the world ends up knocking on your door sooner or later.
I checked Freshmeat for updates every day for a number of years, both to find out about interesting source updates to my favorite software, as well as to discover new software.

I have strong memories of writing my first piece of fairly decently-used software (Ticketsmith) around 1999, then carefully hand-packaging the tarballs and crafting the FM entries. At one point, once I had learned a bit more about web servers, I moved the downloads from my web host to my own Linux-based Apache box running on a cable modem out of my apartment and watched the download logs with FM referrers in realtime. It was exhilarating.

One thing I clearly remember about FM was a very nice color scheme and font choice. It had a certain polish to it in what was often a land of Apache auto-gen directory entries full of tarballs.

Tangentially related: I worked briefly for VA Linux, as part of the first paid staff of Linux.com. I learned a lot of large-structure PHP site architecting that summer. My boss was OctoberX of Themes.org fame.
AFAIK it was not international treaty, just political agreement not ratified by signing countries.
> I can think of no European country that has an autonomous standing army, capable of deploying itself to the theater of operations

That has been intentional. Deploying forces outside your borders is what empires do. It's out of scope for the military forces of ordinary countries.

Most military forces only exist to defend their own territory. For most West European countries in the past 20-25 years, the only realistic threats were their neighbors and the US. Because all of those were allies, the primary purpose of the military was maintaining the readiness to scale up in case the world becomes more dangerous again.

It will be interesting to see what will become of Europe now that Germany has decided they are allowed to act like an empire once again.
> NATO has doctrine of "launch everything we have once we see a first nuke fly" and why it is very public about it.

No, it doesn't, and, no, it isn't.

NATO is very public about not saying what its specific response plan on various nuke scenarios is.
Damn, this just kicked my nostalgia centers into high gear.
butter-fs[1] would not be the destination FS I would have chosen but such an effort deserves kudos.

[1] ...given how broken it seemingly is, see features that are half baked like raid-5. But I am a ZFS snob so don't mind me, my fs of choice has it's own issues.
That's a disingenuous argument: yes 'defeated' countries like Germany mainly are US 'influenced'[I would not use the term satellite: It's not exactly a situation like Russia & Transnistria technically speaking] but the rest of the continent does not have this kind of relationship but a more 'grateful one'.The EU became a bureaucratic nightmare as soon as it started shifting from an economical union and added more attributions to it.NATO exists, even more importantly than that: sovereign nations exist(by the way this is not a legitimate argument for saying "This is how Putin is getting away with it". Europe has shown repeatedly that it can quickly mobilize against a real common enemy).Centralizing power is the mistake we keep repeating in Europe for thousands of years and it never works, because obviously power corrupts and some will be greedy and overstep.

An EU army is the worst idea i've heard and the biggest counter-argument of being pro-EU.You talk like we don't have armies: we do, and strengthening them is the priority instead of creating more super-national entities which will have no effect pragmatically speaking, and a lot of overhead in terms of wasted money.It will open loopholes where people who hold more power at an EU-level will abuse the army for doing their bidding.As a matter of fact, EU can demand nation-states to do economic & regulatory measures between countries as long as nation states continue with their membership,but it does not have any power over sovereign states in most matters, especially military & security-wise.
Right, and then, the EU needs new taxes.
How long did it take US soldiers in Iraq? at least a few years.

Despite the obviously undemocratic elections, independent polling still puts Putin's approval among Russians at or above W's.
Here's another quote from the article:

> The cartel lowered operational costs and worked to standardize the life expectancy of light bulbs at 1,000 hours[6] (down from 2,500 hours),[6] and raised prices without fear of competition. The cartel tested their bulbs and fined manufacturers for bulbs that lasted more than 1,000 hours.

The simple fact that they explicitly set a lower operational life target rather than setting a minimum target tells me everything I need to know about what they were trying to do. The additional fact that they fined manufacturers who exceeded the target doesn't leave much room for speculation.

If they had any interest whatsoever in efficiency as the driver, the targets would have been based on an efficiency target like lumens per watt rather than life expectancy.
While there are a lot of resources available for different graphics API's, I have yet to find a good comprehensive tutorial or library for software rendering. Being interested, I would love to know if anyone has a reference at hand.
I did read that in our original post. And I agree that there's always things that really ought not to be said. (And giving alternate examples is not always whataboutism.) But the problem with censorship, and specifically the underlying power in implement it, always comes back to "who watches the watchmen" - I don't trust RT to tell me the truth, but I really don't trust big tech and the US/EU gov to be the gatekeepers.
