Well, IKEA leaving is not a big issue - making furniture is easy and doesn't require high-tech.

Firstly, IKEA sells a lot more than furniture. You might be able to make a table at home, but that's one of the simplest things IKEA sells. Making a bowl, or a drinking glass, or a clock is significantly harder. Most people don't have the skills or the equipment.

Secondly, IKEA don't simply sell furniture. They sell furniture at scale. Making a table is pretty trivial, but making 25,000 tables is a lot harder. That requires a robust supply chain, logging companies, wood mills, furniture factories, machines to do the work, even if you're going back to the way it was done 50 years ago rather than the massively computerized way IKEA does it. It isn't really possible in a modern global economy if your local currency has collapsed.

And then you have the problem that people are used to IKEA stuff being the minimum acceptable level of quality. People buy it because it's cheap, it looks OK, and it lasts a few years. So now not only do you need to make 25,000 tables, but they need to be at least as good as what people could buy before. Otherwise they definitely will remember, and they won't be very happy about it.
Hey, you're being unfair!

Don't forget Iraq, Lybia, Syria and the others!

The US is all about peace, how could you forget??
I'm suprised that there are so many comments advising to not use it, when even FAQ of this library basically says that it's not production ready. It always was just cool project to show off how someone can hack C to it's limits.
One quick "just make it work" solution might be to ship Linux binaries with the Windows version, check if you're on wine, then execute the Linux binaries via an exec syscall[1]. I'd imagine the bulk of the game is going to be assets not code so that (maybe?) wouldn't make the game too much larger.

That Putin was given faulty intelligence that Ukraine would roll over and welcome the invasion because of their urge to return to the Russian fold.
I didn't, originally, the doctor determined it after the lab tests came back, which included heavy metal tests. He said I'm in a gray area and he could justify starting chelation, but he thought that explained only some of my issues and I should have something else. He never found anything else and chelation had FAR more success than anticipated by either him or me.

I did have a hint before that: after a health escalation I suffered - visibly even (mouth) - from Candida. I even was prescribed, as I wrote, a systemic drug, which no doctor would ever subscribe for the "psyche" because that is serious stuff impacting the liver (and as I wrote, I got quite yellow after those two, or was it three?, weeks - but a lot of bowel issues and the feeling in my mouth were just gone). The problem: Candida has a deeper cause. It's immune compromised people. But there was nothing for me, and the only thing I found was heavy metals. So I went to a university clinic and got tested. Fortunately it showed up in the blood and urine tests, which is not a given if you have low-level long-term exposure and have most of the burden intracellular and/or stored away instead of moving around.
Thanks for the link, I do want to understand this perspective.

The article makes some claims I'm skeptical of

> Obama administration-backed coup that toppled a Russia-friendly government in Kyiv.

I haven't seen any material evidence of how the coup was backed by America. Obviously it wouldn't be the first time, but I see this stated as fact when it's little more than he-said she-said.

> Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal in 1994 in exchange for U.S. security guarantees in the event its neighbors, Russia in particular, turned hostile.

It was never Ukraine's arsenal, it was USSR leftovers, the launch codes were in Moscow. Further, this "in exchange" is without citation. The Budapest agreement is short and sweet, we (UK/USA/Rus) promise not to attack Ukraine, we promise to come to her aide in the event of nuclear war. It is not a defence pact, and the only nation in violation is Russia.

And look, I was born in 1990, I am not a political scientist nor historian. I just don't take Putin's word on any of this. I don't know how federal law applies to international relations, but saying USA somehow holds itself back from diplomacy with post-coup-power is laughable to me given how many coups we instigated and then normalized relations (I am not beyond recognizing USA as the bad guy, but coup is a somewhat intersubjective notion outside of military juntas). What law is this?
She will blow through it same as so many of us did.
True. But I'm afraid there are several issues and training is not a 2 day affair even if the other issues didn't exist

Agree with you on the fact that it was a questionable move.

But there is a big difference between excluding one source (which is directly and formally controlled by the Russian state).. and putting 15 year sentences on "publishing things that are not coming from the state news agency" (TAS)

BTW, and just FYI, if you want you can still read rt.com using 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8
Internal matters are just that, internal matters. You cannot enforce information transfer controls (without prior agreement with that person) because you allegedly paid someone to produce data, and want to make money off of it.
As I wrote. Ukraine will obviously defend itself when attacked, with or without the West. And the West has been clear about not helping. But encouraging them to keep fighting, when it seems completely hopeless, is not doing them a service. Keyboard warriors in the US telling Ukrainian civilians to throw Molotov cocktails on tanks is especially infuriating.

Nice work. Just recognizing a labor of love for the exemplary product is!

That is all.
Which is what Dems tried with the Build Back Better bill, but Repubs were able to successfully pit Democrat vs Democrat because increasing the SALT caps is easy to advertise as decreasing taxes for the rich.

This is a great article summarizing what I am trying to say.

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/591378-salt-change-likel...

> Critics grumble that raising the cap on SALT deductions runs counter to what they say is the main political rationale for passing the legislation: addressing wealth inequality.

Repubs really put Dems in a bad spot with this one.
Make a local backup of your emails and try to move as many services to another email. Maybe you can go back to Yandex when all of this is over, but it's better to be safe rhan sorry
Wow, I have no idea what regexps mean? I can write a book about regexps, and if you really want to learn what regexps are, let me know, we can scedule a session.

Anyway, real REGUALR expressions belong to the regular languages class, thus equivalent to DFAs. Given a regexp, you can construct a DFA in O(2^n), where n is the number of operators in the regexp. Now this DFA will have a Linear time complexity match. If you extend regular expressions with backreferences, you can't build DFAs anymore, and you also lose the fundamental property of regularity: the pumping lemma for regular languages. Furthermore, the languages you can build with this extension go even outside the context-free class. Not only that: you are also dealing with an NP-complete matching.
Again, why do you still call them regular?
These look really interesting! I need a laptop to be able to travel (both locally and long-distance), but I spend most of my time working at a desk in my home. It would be great to have a more powerful desktop computer, but I have no idea how to juggle multiple Macs. I imagine myself going to start a presentation somewhere and realizing the file is on my other computer. Ditto for browser tabs.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to juggle multiple Macs?
Ahh yes, the trustafarian. The classic NYC archetype. Having been in similar crowds in NYC (especially Brooklyn), I don’t know if I would say that these are “fronts,” per se. It’s just that most trustafarian’s don’t openly out themselves as such because it’s impolite/uncouth to out oneself that way. In LA, people with rich parents flaunt it, but on the east coast, it’s better to keep those things to oneself.

That said, as you figured out, it doesn’t take long for people to identify who the trustafarian’s are in a group. I’m solidly upper middle-class myself but I grew up around a mix of old-money and new-money people, so it didn’t take long for me to figure out, once I got to New York, that any Smith grad working as a busker or doing burlesque while living roommate-free in a 1BR in the West Village or a 2BR in Prospect Height, had rich parents. Because only people with benefactors can do that. But I didn’t know too many trustafarian’s who would pretend to be self-made. They just didn’t advertise that it was daddy who was paying the Amex bill. But if you’re 25, working as a candle maker, and you have a Platinum card, well, we can all do the math and know what’s up. Also, if you went to an elite college and aren’t actively working in a high-paying industry, let alone in anything associated with your nebulously-defined liberal arts degree, well, again. Of course you have rich parents. Also, those are the people who are never complaining about student loans, unlike the gaggle of very vocal NYU, Columbia and New School grads who are trying to figure out how they can pay off $250,000 in loans while working at Vice. (The answer is most of them cannot and will wind up taking corporate jobs within 5 years.)

But NYC is even further different because there are so many levels of inherited wealth/rich parents. The person who has parents paying for their nice apartment and lifestyle, but is still pursuing a niche creative pursuit, is very different from the uber-rich young adult who has a job — even if it is in name-only — at the family-controlled business or who devotes their time to being on the board of a charity or museum. These are the people that have private planes and summer in the most exclusive parts of the Hamptons, have European vacation homes, where expensive (but understated) clothing and jewelry, attend frequent black tie galas, grew up in Greenwich and hang out almost exclusively with other people just like them, who come from families with hundreds of millions of dollars. Which are further different from the more west-coast like people that are children of parents who made their millions in tech or Hollywood and flaunt their wealth with zero pretense of where it came from, all over Instagram. Which is further different from the non-European foreign-born rich kids whose parents might have more money than everyone else, but don’t have the social class acceptance of that second group.
Putin is 69 in a country where average age at death is 73.

Having a team of private doctors, access to the best hospitals, access to Western medicine, even being able to leave Russia for medical care will probably mean he lives longer than average.
Linguists may need to pay a bit more attention to their own use of language. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30564864

(Ignore the first sentence)
I'd favour putting the eastern Russia parts under the umbrella of China if they weren't happy to go buddy buddy with Putin.

So I dunno, give it to Japan. Or Korea.

Gift Koningsberg to Ukraine.
One sided coverage in 2003? That's not what I remember, and that was definitely NOT the case in Europe.
If it weren't for the subjugation and labor rights issues, I really wouldn't care, but that is a pretty serious issue and seems like there's pretty deep involvement there.

PineCube plus a 3DP case would seem to be perfect, but it's not PTZ.

What about Reolink? Nobody seems to have anything linking them to the Uighur issue, and they are affordable with good features.

Do they support multicast DNS or any kind of discovery, or ONVIF? It's not easy to fond out how well that works just from the internet.

Another possibility is the ESP32. There are lots of camera capable modules there, but again no PTZ.

This is an important issue and I'm glad you brought it up!

One feature I'd like to add to my system is an RTSP server, so it can act as an easy web-configurable firmware for a Pi Zero W 2 or the like to act as a camera itself, or for putting analog cameras on the network with capture cards.

I also don't see the Yi cams on the list, I wonder how well those can integrate.
There are about half a dozen SSJs and MC-21s produced every month, let's check back in a couple of months from now, and see if those lines ground to a halt or doubled their production. I'm curious myself!
I'm curious too but perhaps OP knew their businesses had little to 0 revenue yet acted like they made money which was actually from a trust fund.
Historical various East India Companies did exactly that while also holding monopolies.

With enough size and political influence they could do it, it just hasn't been in fashion.
China produces a lot of interesting stuff! India, by the way, too. They are big trade partner of Moscow. China gladly buys a lot of Russian oil and natural gas, for instance.

But China still can't produce certain high-end things. Say, a high-end server-class CPU is sort of problematic, event though ARM architecture allows to produce capable server CPUs. A powerful enough GPU is even harder to come by. I did not hear about high-capacity Chinese HDDs either. I suppose a lot of industries have such high-end goods that only 2-3 "Western" companies figured out how to produce. The embargo will hit hard in areas where such goods make a difference.

I only hope that the embargo will be lifted soon, because the current regime in Russia seems unsustainable.
That would imply that sovereign states don't get to decide who they're aligned with. As seen with Ukraine that in turn would make them first targets for an invasion.

Such a decision would be anything but de-escalation.
The reporter got hit and wounded, the cameraman got two hits to his body armour.
You ever consider that the truth is pretty simple and fb does actually care about privacy?

It also creates a moat for them as implementing privacy well is expensive.
Supplication to a tyrant worked only to incite unprovoked invasion and war crimes. The west believed that integrating Russia through economy and trade would bring us together. It only revealed Russia is not yet ready and still believes everybody is out to get them like some traumatised recluse.
Enough is enough, the west has awoken to the sad reality that Russia has not changed.

Also the Baltic sovereign nations remember very very very well what it was like under Russian oppression. They are not going back to that.

Finnish people remember burning their homes ahead of the advancing tank armies. We remember both wars and many of us have the memories in our blood.
Submitting assignments as pdf’s is extremely common at Universities. It feels like literally everything needs to be a pdf.

Also, when sending something to a client, it’s way more professional to send them a pdf document as an attachment they can open right in their browser instead of some obscure google docs / notion link.
This misses the point. The aim is not to take out Starlink. The aim is to take out the people using Starlink on the assumption that some of them at least are involved in the coordination of the defence of Ukraine. Using Starlink, or any other satellite uplink in an active warzone is essentially painting a target on your back. Doing so may very well be worth it if you are involved in the coordination of the defence of your nation, but its probably not if you're using it to read HN.
Dropbox solves this. I run multiple Linux computers and have my Downloads, Code and Docs folders synced between all computers. Works flawlessly.
Bring back Seva Novgorodsev! I was listening to the guy in the 80s via a SW radio... Fun times...

The allure of quasi-portability is real. I was a college freshman when the Mac Cube came out, and I bought one with an Apple LCD display so that I could (1) have a computer that I could bring home in my carry-on luggage, and (2) not have to settle for the G3 processors in the 2000-era PowerBooks.
A very high percentage. You are in Moscow and the customers have income well over Russian median. They speak foreign languages.

There are over 100 millions over Russians that live in a very different world, for those the percentage will be different.
Missile launches, not rocket launches. And it’s not prohibitive, hundreds of missiles have been launched in Ukraine so far. Modern missile defense systems double as anti satellite weaponry, even ignoring debris clouds.

But, I imagine the real attack here, if sufficiently motivated, would be much simpler. Bomb gps satellites, destroying time syncing functionality on the satellites.
I work with Russians. I want to know what lies they're being told. Right now it's tough to ask them for daily updates because frankly a lot of them hate this situation very much and are saddened and embarrassed by what their country is doing. I would also find it difficult to ask.
Might come as a surprise, but Boing and Airbus are not the only civil airplane manufacturers in the world.
Are you using HDMI or DisplayPort and which type of cables (e.g. do they convert connection type, or for example the same on both ends)? Asking as I have the same doc and about to get an M1.
Is Putin a crook or a run-of-the-mill Russian leader? Most of leaders in Russia are like this. Navalny, for example, is ultranationalist who said Crimea and Donbas are 100 % Russian and "should be kept".
What cable and connector types are you using please?
Their cruise missiles are generally inaccurate but it doesn't matter as they are almost all out.
For browser tabs browser sync is pretty much a solved problem ( no idea how well Safari does this, but Firefox and Chromium-based browsers have been good for years). For files, it'd require some discipline and tooling - using a cloud sync service like Dropbox or OneDrive or whatever, and always putting important files in places where it'd be synced. Also, with a remote access service ( Chrome Remote Desktop? Wireguard VPN + VNC? Whatever works best for you) you could keep access to your desktop remotely from your laptop if you need to grab a file last minute.
NATO absolutely has stepped in via intelligence and ammunition. Kyiv would not stand for as long as it has without this support.

What is the purpose of fighting? Have you looked at Russia? ukrainians would like to remain free of totalitarianism and will die trying. They will not accept becoming a vassal state. What is the alternative to fighting?

It is clear to me they have a chance, as Russia has failed to gain air supremacy and the conscripts keep defecting. [I admit I only see pro-Ukraine propaganda, but as long as they are transmitting this propaganda out of Kyiv they are winning]
I get how Dropbox works well for folders and files, but what about web browsing? I keep tabs open so I remember to do things, and for research purposes. For example, if I'm going to a meeting I might open up a dozen tabs with LinkedIn profiles, wikipedia pages, etc. If I do that on a desktop computer, can I get that synced over to my laptop, so I can review those tabs when I'm on my way to the meeting?
for a brief period, it might even work as an ICBM defence shield for the whole planet. Imagine every single rocket aborting due to debris for 1-2 years( a guess)
Script that will show a war awareness popup to Russian visitors
I truly have no idea. My knowledge in Russian is very limited. Maybe someone else can chip in
It depends on the subject. Try to find a western media that defend the point of view of the Talibans for instance. Or their history and significance to the population for instance. Even in the most niche papers you won't find that. There will always be a line on their barbarian and anti democratic aspect. And that's why western medias didn't get that the US lost the war because the Talibans always had the backing of the majority of the population.
I have a citizen eco drive solar watch i got 16 years ago. Never needed to change or recharge the battery.

And I live in Norway just below the arctic circle so artificial light must be enough to charge it.
Yes it is kind of discriminating if you are among the 2% of cases where the Irish DPA does something [1]... I sometimes find myself thinking this is rather paid propaganda to make the Irish DPA actually look mean (in a positive way for them)

If you listen to Western media, Ukraine is just another democratic European country. Most Americans probably imagine that it's something like the Czech republic, when in fact it's 50% poorer than Belarus.

By the way here's an article about Zelensky written 2 weeks ago, so about 1 week before his apotheosis: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/21/opinion/ukraine-russia-ze...

About corruption being worse, that's mostly anecdotal. I have friends running parts of, or working for major corporations in Russia and Ukraine. But also, look at the amazing wealth of natural resources in Ukraine and compare it to the GDP.
C++ has more features than Rust but you can limit yourself pretty severely and use "simple" features to get far more safety and convenience than C without having to wrap your mind around Rust.
Which makes sense. The verb has already been declined and gives away which person it's addressing. Same in Spanish:
Yo soy (you can drop the yo because soy only applies for yo). Same for other pronouns.
It's not like this was discussed 2 years ago on "conspiracy" channels or anything.... /s

I stil remember the "horse dewormer" propaganda about ivermectin.
When I was a teenager I used a $10 shortwave radio for SWling. I think it could take 5V for external power from eg. a hand crank if you really wanted that (although nowadays I'm sure people have solar panels laying around, they're so useful for things like boats etc.) I don't think you need anything fancy.
Does browser tab sync require signing or something? I feel like I've never seen this (but if I had, I would have ignored it, since I don't have another computer to sync my tabs to!).
Could it actually be the xMac??
not sure this is realistic

million people get together? you need some kind of leadership. this mean u have someone u can aim your snipers at / throw KGB at to disappear into a gulag and never be seen again...

russia is not exactly usa where you are free to buy assault rifles in grocery store, or where you can buy even a small gun for that matter... its not like bunch of guys decide to storm Kremlin over the weekend and magically overthrow the gov

I mean it happened in russia in the past, but it was literally at a cost of several millions dead, not sure if this is the right solution
If it were just a certain dictator, the Ides of March are just around the corner.
But, as you mentioned, it's not that simple.

Russians are in favor of Putin.
And of course, the apparatus has been driving up approval ratings for him for months before this stunt.
And now most Russian don't know anything from independent sources, some probably didn't even heard about that Ukraine Peace Operation.
A lot of them just believe the whole narrative, because, well, it's the decadent West that says otherwise and 'they want to hold us down. They always do.'

So even if there is a fraction in the apparatus at all that would or could act, there alway looms the danger of a civil war for them.
Tinder drove me to freeze my eggs
I think the difference is that western media generally can and do publish at least some critical pieces. The same can't be said in Russia right now. It's a whole different level.
