To address all/most concerns at once: you kind of need to put the cart before the horse on this one... once an army exists, people will have to come to an agreement on using it.

And on the EU/Russia/US thing, I think the "goal" should be of "maximizing the possibilities for future actions", no actual goal in particular should be pursued.

And mindset wise, I think we should try and rid ourselves of this quasi-hyper-rationalist analysis-paralysis inducing mindset where one needs to answer a zillion questions before being allowed to do anything... Sometimes where you have high uncertainty in all directions the best thing to do is just ACT as long as you can guess around the overall direction of action, and let some of the consequences handle themselves. Action will generate more information, and hopefully that information will de-balance the probabilities and future decisions will be obvious once some of the fog clears. If you just "sit and think" entropy just increases around you, things fall apart more and more, the information you get is even more murkier and require even more analysis and discussion and negotiation and you just get paralyzed and decompose...
Ask HN: Has anyone managed to get credit card details removed from dockerhub?
There is no way to do it on the web app. I sent emails to try have it removed, first one being on the 26th of Feb, all I got was an auto acknowledgement that it was received (Zendesk) and subsequent auto followups telling me the ticket is awaiting my response, even though there is nothing for me to respond to. I sent a follow up mail and still nothing. Has anyone actually managed to get their payment details removed from there?

"I am the healthiest person I know" so others might disagree? Such self-centered perception of "being healthy" is one of the reasons people fool themselves while actually having a healthy lifestyle instead of being actually healthy. Any exercise also has an impact on health, it can be not just "healthy" but also unhealthy at the same time, at the expense of overall health. Also, cancer does not discriminate lifestyles. It's chance. There is always risk. "I am healthy"-people only fool themselves that it cannot happen to them.

How to Build Quality Software Fast
I don't think his behaviour was particularly irrational, as much as he has been acting on a few pieces of intelligence that ultimately proved to have been incorrect.

1. He incorrectly assumed that he'd only be facing minor sanctions for starting a war of aggression. Given how many other countries have waged wars of aggression in the past few decades, this wasn't an insane assumption... given the information he had at the time.

2. He incorrectly assumed that Ukraine would fold in less than a week. Given how the first day of the invasion looked like the Russian army was driving westwards until there wasn't any gas in the tank, this wasn't an insane assumption... given the information he had at the time.

3. There is no 3, those were the two major contributors to the shit sandwich he's now serving to both Ukraine and Russia. All the crazy shit he says about eight-hundred year old history and nazis and so on and so forth isn't what he actually believes, it's intended for internal Russian media consumption.

So no, from the perspective of someone playing at empire-building, starting this war was only 'irrational' for him with the benefit of hind-sight.
The Fiuymi Fallacy
Affordable housing doesn’t have to mean 5 copy pasted towers lined up in a row. If hiring an architect for a unique design costs too much, then scatter the buildings so it’s 5 towers over 5 postcodes.
I would not discuss keeping Ukraine permanently out of Nato. Set a duration. A ten-year guarantee, say. Long enough to push it off to Putin's successor. Short enough for Ukraine to be resigned to the tradeoff.
NATO membership is entirely voluntary.

As such, there haven't been any "pushing of boundaries" unless you presume Russia gets to decide what independent nations like Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Finland, Sweden, Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus, etc. may or may not do.

Curious what city you are referring to?

Coming from northern Europe and now living in Tokyo, I'd say the capital city where I'm from (Stockholm) is a super boring in variety. The only thing going is the numerous parks they have, but buildings, new or old, are built very similar to other and incredibly boring. Got the similar feeling in London. All "planned" to the teeth to be static and not stick out. (old or new)

Compare that to Tokyo, where I've seen a rusty old house that looks like an haunted house 100m from sky scrapers at Toranomon Hills, or the small streets of Daikanyama where I could see a frigging Greek palace around the corner. All of this often not too far from a shrine that have idled there for hundreds of years.

Yeah, because the ongoing war is such a shining example of how safe it is to be a defenseless neighbour to Russia.
From a personal perspective, I feel that opening sentence.

Genetics has had me have high blood pressure since I was 25, left handed, prostate, lung cancer in family.

I put effort into low salt diets, exercise, monitoring, some small drugs, yet I know a lot of people who are significantly less healthy will outlive me. From time to time - I feel the pang of bitterness at that notion.

It is 100% recognized, my overall disposition in life is _extremely_ privileged. It's still a feeling nonetheless.

Infrastructure can be rebuilt with a new Marshall plan later.

Ukrainians have very good weapons from the West and are getting more. Putin can't hold such a huge country against them.

Destroyed infrastructure works against the occupiers, too. Sometimes even more, because the locals have some local knowledge, e.g. which water sources deep in the forest are safe to drink.

One more comment and I stop, because it's getting pointless. I never doubted that Ukrainian civilians are dying, why would I? Nor did I ever defend Putin's actions or the Russian invasion, because again, why would I? I do try to provide some context so. Because propaganda, even if it is for the right cause (whatever that is in general so) and at least partially true still is, well, propaganda. And I don't like propaganda. Ukraine is using information to great effect, and they have every right to do so, because they need and deserve every help they can get. I truly believe this. This doesn't mean so that I believe everything that is published, even from reliable and vetted sources, right now. Because the fog of war, even if it's not outright disinformation, is way to thick to actually judge information in a reliable manner.

What can be said is that war in general is ugly. So a lot of shit and war crimes are being committed and will continue to be committed. All the more reason for political leaders world wide to find a quick, peaceful solution to this mess. One that doesn't give any stretch of land to Russia.

Intermittent fasting has been proven to significantly lower the risk of breast cancer in particular. There was a landmark study less than 2 years ago that hit the top page of HN.

"Intermittent fasting once a week for 4 seeks cuts risk of breast cancer by ~40% "

The jury is still deliberating whether it also lowers the risk of other forms of cancer.

Hopefullt it does!

> All this buzz about UB is a bit much.

No, the problem of undefined behaviour isn't overstated. It's the reason C and C++ have such a poor security track-record.

> I'm quite confident that I don't have much UB in my code

Plenty of C and C++ programmers are confident they don't have UB in their code, and yet we see a constant stream of security issues arising from UB in codebases developed and maintained by the smartest and most motivated C/C++ programmers, such as kernel code and the Chromium codebase.

From the Chromium project: [0]

> Around 70% of our high severity security bugs are memory unsafety problems (that is, mistakes with C/C++ pointers). Half of those are use-after-free bugs.

These bugs are, of course, undefined behaviour. These are serious bugs that presumably made it through their code-review and code-analysis processes.

(Chromium is written in C++ rather than C, but the point stands.)

> running sanitizers from time to time confirms

It doesn't. Modern static analysis tools are pretty smart, but they're a long way from being able to detect every instance of possible UB, with no false positives. If they were, we'd be in a very different place.

With the current state-of-the-art, the only way we have of developing C/C++ codebases that are free of UB, is to use formal methods (e.g. SeL4). This approach is very rarely taken, on account of the impact on development speed, and the skill needed.

> Got the similar feeling in London. All "planned" to the teeth to be static and not stick out. (old or new)

That reminded me of this The Economist article [1] about buildings in London: there are 'protected line of sight' which buildings have to avoid:

> Taller buildings [...] must not block designated views of various landmarks, which explains why some of the skyscrapers in the City of London are oddly shaped. The curious wedge-shaped Leadenhall Building, known as “the cheesegrater”, is intended to protect a view of St Paul’s Cathedral from a pub in Fleet Street. The design also means that the building cannot have a central concrete core, as in most skyscrapers. Instead, the floors are held up by an innovative steel exoskeleton. This makes for a thrilling journey up the building’s glass lifts. But it does add somewhat to the cost.

Past and Future of Brain-Computer-Interfaces
The Palestinians are obviously under attack, let's not kid ourselves.

To this day I don't know where I stand in this conflict, since I understand many of the subtleties of the conflict.

But that part is clear, Palestine <<is>> under attack.

Israely is knowingly "salamy tactic-ing" Palestine. They're slowly chipping away at their regions. They're destroying Palestine through administrative abuse.

It's like slowly being crushed by one of those car compactors.

I have no idea what the correct reactions in this situation is.
> First the Palestinians aren't under attack, they can just stop firing rockets

No, they are simply under permanent military occupation, with no end in sight, no path to enfranchisement. At best, they are living in an apartheid state. At worst, they had a war declared on them, and they aren't even permitted to surrender.

If some third party invaded the United States, and kettled Americans to live in isolated enclaves and ghettos, with no freedom of movement, national sovereignty, or pathway to assimilation into the occupier's new nation, that occupier might be subject to the occasional rock and rocket attack, too.

Thanks! It's only an experiment at this stage but I was pleasantly surprised it worked in such a small size.

It works wonders. The upcoming bft_split function is gonna be dead fast.

I optimize things by adopting the laziest possible personna : do I really need to copy this ? No. What if the user wants to append stuff to a split part ? We'll see then.

> Allocating only blocks sized by a power of two is potentially memory wasting

It just follows the classical doubling of requested size. In high exponents though I admit it'll be wasteful.

I wouldn't have thought of it, nor known how to. Would it be somehow costly ? Shifting is basically free.

Interesting. But shouldn't we keep the lib surface minimal and just leave this to the user ? She maps then takes a view on it ?
How can Russia replace all its lost equipment (tanks, supply trucks, helicopters, planes) when they've lost more than half of their economy in a week, and counting?

I mean, look at the flight of skilled workers out of their country, and the ruble halving in value in the space of a month.

Some people are unlucky.

There is nothing one can do to avoid disease eventually.

Most people don’t need mathematical statistics, but far more will find meaning/interest in the immediate applications of lighter statistics than the another-math-class-full-of-equations that calculus feels like to many.

Anecdotally, most universities are scrambling to add lighter data science courses to their humanities majors. These all teach basic stats, and many ignore the low-level calculus required for those methods (again, speaking of the humanities versions here).
The thing is defence spending in Europe has plummeted since the fall of the Soviet Union. The threat from the West was never a reasonable justification for invading Ukraine.
Here's an alternate explanation:

Maybe cancer is way to common and keeps being formed in the human body... but also the body gets rid of it by itself. This is why most people who have cancer never find out about it.

The few people who are always going for "regular screenings" are the only ones who find out about it and get "treatment" when it was completely unnecessary.

Here's another alternate explanation:

Maybe what is marketed as "healthy" by the food industry by funding scientific research and selecting results favorable to them is not really healthy.
Incentives as in tax incentives, subsidies, rebates and credits, not manufacturer incentives. On Tesla's own website they still factor "incentives" into the price for states that still offer them.
