I admit the definition of a nation can be a bit vague sometimes, however, the examples you gave are quite straightforward and I see no problem whatsoever. A Breton nationalist wants Brittany to be ruled by Bretons from Brittany rather than by the French from Paris. A Catalan nationalist wants Catalonia to be ruled by Catalans from Barcelona rather than by Castilians from Madrid.

Who decides what a nation is can be a bit tricky from time to time. Who do NOT decide is much easier to answer. In both of your examples, it is clear without a doubt that the people who inhabit the said geographical regions are the ones to decide. Not the Frenchmen from Paris or the Castiians from Madrid.

If the people of Brittany decides that they want Brittany to remain as part of France then it simply means that they do not support Breton nationalism. From a nationalist moral point of view, it is up to the people of Brittany to decide. If a French nationalist wants to keep Brittany as part of France against their will then someone must tell that "nationalist" that he is practicing imperialism rather than nationalism. If a Breton "nationalist" wants to annex all of France to bring it under Breton rule then he is an imperialist rather than a nationalist.

Neither do I, but I suspect the answer comes down to the exploitation of human flaws such as tribalism, fear, overwhelm, and the systematic fucking of the education system.

Given the recent track record for lies coming out of both Ukraine and Russia, it's probably best to treat everything as propaganda unless proven otherwise in some meaningful way.
A solid block of dough, heated rapidly (e.g. bagel in boiling water, or donut in hot oil) will still have an undercooked center once the outside is fully cooked. Adding the hole evens out the heat transfer.

Either Lukashenko will tell Putin to remove Russian troops from Belarus, or Lukashenko is breaking the new constitution of his own country.

I am Russian, and I know some billionaires ("oligarchs"). They don't spend much time in Russia and don't support Putin in any way. More than anyone they realise how fucked up the regime is, which is why they stash money abroad. Putin does what he wants.

An American billionaire is a successful businessman. A Russian billionaire is an oligarch.
Ehhh, Trump got popular in part because he says what he thinks and doesn't want to make friends with the then establishment. Making enemies is expected.

No, literally "meteorite" in original text. It is used as an example of a completely implausible event.
The root mistake is that the actual feature makes using real prepared statements impossible. The whole point of a prepared statement is that you know the query AST ahead of time so you can just plug user input into the AST. I'm guessing since this seems to be intentionally designed this way, the goal is to allow a "parameterized query" like "SELECT * FROM foos WHERE ?" and I can pass { "foo": 1, "bar": 2 } to get "SELECT * FROM foos WHERE foo = 1 AND bar = 2"
A significant number of my vices are indulged in the kitchen.
I see the word "метеорита" in the original source, which is indeed meteorite (+ declension). I do not think it could be mistranslated as artillery or missile, although I am not a native Russian speaker (I had to learn Russian at school for 3 or 4 years and I have forgotten most of it, it was a long time ago). I think the writer was going for a metaphor, a made up example of being tasked with preparing for something considered so improbable that the preparation was de-prioritized.

The WIV was studying novel coronaviruses. American scientists called it unsafe in 2018.

In 2019 a pandemic broke out a mouse-journey from its door.

Millions of people died, and the lab has escaped independent investigation for over two years.

It's weird that you don't see how that's relevant. For all the ink and brain-cycles, there's STILL gain of function research happening in metropolis areas, and if another pandemic broke out beside one there'd STILL be no process for investigating them. That's fucking BATTY.
Nobody will question that. Military conflict is always horrible. Be that in the Ukraine, be that in Yemen, be that in Iraq, be that in Afghanistan, be that in any of the other thousand examples throughout human history.

The issue here is, it's not even about the people. It's about a conflict of interest between major powers in the world, who are unable to co-operate but rather escalate their disputes on political or even warfare levels.

The whole thing goes back to the early 2010s and that only recently. The issue itself goes back far longer.

Personally if it were my site I would put in some time to cache a few things. Rails makes this fairly easy with https://guides.rubyonrails.org/caching_with_rails.html. I say "fairly" because caching is never really easy because of what could go wrong but I would say this is as realistically easy as it can get with Rails.

A cold page load on any old StackOverflow answer page is about 50ms for me. Keep in mind the hosting environments between both sites too. The forum site is on Heroku. StackOverflow is running on https://stackexchange.com/performance, basically hundreds of CPU cores and multiple terrabytes of RAM on dedicated hardware. There's no doubt .NET is going to crush Ruby even with the same hardware tho.

> StackOverflow manages sub 20ms response on nearly all pages time with zero caching

I'm not sure where you read they don't cache anything? They cache a lot of things. They have an in depth article on this at https://nickcraver.com/blog/2019/08/06/stack-overflow-how-we.... They're also serving a lot from a CDN to give end to end low latency responses across the globe.

Ask HN: How vulnerable is Russian military hardware to hacking?
If there's one thing I've learned from listening to the Darknet Diaries podcast, it's that almost any important piece of computerised equipment is vulnerable to sabotage. Even obscure industrial controllers in oil refineries can be damaged if you're familiar with how they work, and you're creative enough to nudge them into an unsafe state.

So when I see that 64km military convoy outside Kyiv...

...full of heavily armoured vehicles and brutal looking military gear...

...I naturally wonder: how much of this kit is computerised? How vulnerable is it to malicious code?

Instead of taking down websites, could Anonymous reasonably develop a 0-day for the 9K720 short-range tactical ballistic missile system? Does the Koalitsiya-SV 152mm self-propelled howitzer even have Wi-Fi?

The only way to guarantee sustained Ukrainian grain production is for the Russians to withdraw or for Ukrainians to surrender. I don't think the Ukrainians are obliged to surrender to stop people in other countries from starving. This is on Russia.
It appears to be a decision calculator.
I don't need to be specific. I don't know what exists in all places. That's not my area of expertise. But I do know that there are other systems apart from the two you mention, Mir and Union Pay, that do work in countries other than Russia and China. Those Chinese tourists I see are using one or other of them.

And anyway, who's to say that there won't be another half a dozen new ones tomorrow that also do?

Too many in the West don't think other people can have any other choices than the ones that Westerners have. Reminds me of when the Japanese cars started arriving on the market. "Toyota? Mazda? What a funny name for a car! Mazda make lamps and lightbulbs, don't they?"

If you just want or need to look at stuff under a microscope, it's probably better just to buy an inexpensive one. You can get a pretty decent one in the $300-$400 range. I have one of AM Scope's stereo boom microscopes and works great for what I need it for. It is quality stuff and they have a range of different types of microscopes.
Contrary to common believes, that a fascist society must visually similar to what been portrayed in a WW2 movie, a real fascist society now days hides behind layers of outlooks that makes them look normal. People in a fascist society may work a well-paid job in a clean glassy high-rise, and their government and law might be structured like a normal one. The most obvious difference between a fascist society and a normal society is probably how the society create and changes it's laws, which is complex to observe even in a normal society. This is the reason why so many people couldn't believe it when they're already in one.

"There is no effort ... I mean they do all the scientific research, but they never investigate how to communicate with them, how to have peaceful solution... their society thrive on the need of an enemy. And they have all these space ships and faster than light travel, they made all this advancements, but it's a fascist society that just breeds his bread for war." (11:07)

The Guardian has been comprimised as a news outlet for some time, after they tried to report on the Snowden case. They are just flypaper for for the left nowadays.

Which section are you referring to? The one that says "Coding errors and hacks are common in DeFi"?

You said that the contract, i.e. the software, is immutable. This means that it can't be patched. If it can be patched it's not immutable, excepting semantic trickery like each version of the contract being immutable while what "the contract" points to can be changed in order to patch it.

When a problem is new and fresh for each participant, pairing can be a great tool to connect with both the problem and each other's innate skillset, IMO.
I've paired remotely and haven't found it particularly problematic. Even without plugins, which tend to suck. Driver shares the screen with the ide, zooms it up, and it's good enough to be useful in my experience.
Some claim this is a bad use-case since it's a public ledger and everything can be traced.

Where I live, light pollution is a huge obstacle for observing the skies, plus it is cloudy very often. Sometimes I feel like it's not even worth looking at the skies.

Stellarium allows me a glimpse of what it would be like without light pollution or clouds. I don't use it very often, but I love it dearly.

Also, if you manage to get a good look at the sky and wonder what is that point of light over there, Stellarium is priceless.
Of course it depends of the city, bigger cities, right in the middle it can go up to 2-3k€ a month. I'm not saying right in the middle but close to the centre, maybe 10 min by metro. Also Spain is not Barcelona and Madrid.

You're saying a lot of wrong things, for starters

> Spain is ideal for a digital nomad that is willing to live in some run down area or what people call "Empty Spain".

As a tech worker, and digital nomad myself, I don't live in any "Run down area", I have a high german salary and chose to live here in Spain because quality of life is much higher than in central Europe, including Baden-Württemberg, Czechia, Poland, etc.

With this salary I've bought many properties in Spain, I can literally buy a flat near the beach for less than 20k euros. Stop spreading lies about Spain.

Just a quick look: https://www.idealista.com/venta-viviendas/alicante-alacant-a... there's 491 places for sale in Alicante with price < 60k euros, I could buy 2 in 1 year, average tech worker in Alicante makes 40k+ so they can buy one in over a year.

I've seen this text in Russian several days ago.

To me it looks like regurgitated points from https://el-murid.livejournal.com/ (in Russian), which is sophisticated (as opposed to spewing blatant lies) propaganda outlet hiding the payload within a series of perfectly correct and logical statements.
That is who I'm referring to, yes.

It was sent to a contact who then published it on their behalf. They were operating as a whistleblower, as I understand it.

Yes, those are perfect examples of the kind of fake medieval I was talking about. For example, both feature roast chicken on the menu, but chicken was rarely if even eaten before the 1900s. The few that were for laying eggs, meaning they were butchered only after many years and were thus a far cry from the plump KFC type chickens we see today. (Which is also why the most famous French chicken/rooster dish, coq au vin, is designed to tenderize and extract all calories from a tough old rooster.)

At least the first has a couple of authentic-ish medieval desserts though.

I eat plenty of bread that's non bagel shaped and fairly evenly baked.

So do people that eat bagels. I'm going to guess that you consider rolls and a slice of bread different bread, though. The sheer amount of the 'crust' on a bread roll contributes significantly to the taste and texture of a roll. Similarly, the sheer amount of "inside bread" on a slice affects its texture and taste. And of course, they affect how they cook.

Same thing with a bagel. A good bagel has a fairly chewy outside and a somewhat dense interior. Changing the ratio of these two affects taste. Heck, you even notice it if you eat different sizes of bagel.

I'll also note that the shape isn't often all that frustrating, at least to me. Half of the bagels I've eaten have very little hole in the middle and they hold sandwich fillings pretty well.

Edit: I might be a little nostalgic, though: I moved to a place with few bagels indeed and I kind of miss them.
Sources for that? If so, it's not been pushed as major news until today.
You are saying it is fake, so now the onus is on you to prove that it is fake. You didn't say 'it's an opinion' you said 'All information in this note is fake.' That is a statement of fact, no longer an opinion, so now, just like you claim the article should have done you have to back up your claim with facts. And if not then you should retract your claim.
All information in this comment is fake. Check facts. Without emotions.
Not all pandemics are equal though. Whatever nature might throw at us, might not be as bad as a virus that has been purposefully designed to be deadly and highly contagious, through gain of function research.
Good point about the news of nuclear weapons. I missed the fact that this post was published before the news went live. It is conceivable that Ukrainian intelligence could know about these plans, but this post being a genuine FSB leak is a much more probable explanation.
Ideally you only use Docker official images,or their equivalent to avoid using unvetted code.

It is always a trade off, however it is far more likely that a hacker will use a ten year old well exploited CVE, rather than a recent one

Sony used to have a more straight-lined design in their cameras and very shallow grips. People didn't like that because the ergonomics are poor. That's why Sony cameras started to look more and more like a Nikon or Canon in each generation.

DSLRs are actually fatter than film SLRs because in a film SLR only the film plate and back are behind the focal plane, which are thin (~3-5mm), while DSLRs stack the sensor board, main board, display etc. behind the focal plane, so they got 15+ mm behind the focal plane. Mirrorless cameras with IBIS tend to increase the back-to-focal-plane distance further due to more involved cooling and IBIS.
Politics ought to be adjusted not to human reasonings but to human nature, of which reason is but a part and by no means the greatest part. -- Edmund Burke

I share your concerns, but I doubt the materials are a major component of the cost of goods for these.
The Neverending Story (Die unendliche Geschichte) by Michel Ende was published in 1979, and mostly takes place in the country of Fantastica. J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings (which mentions and describes Saruman and Orthanc) was published in 1954, 25 years earlier.

Fantasia was a Disney animated movie from 1940, but did not, as I recall, feature a wizard’s tower.

I think this is a false equivalence. If a programmer has a medical emergency during their working hours that’s terrible but doesn’t put others in danger.
In that case, it's better to just pin the major version of the container:

FROM python:3

will work as long as Python3 doesn't make any backwards incompatible changes (note: Python3 occasionally deprecates then removes a feature that was part of the official API[0], so Python3 is not technically semver-correct).

If, however, one wants automatic updates WITH reproducible builds, then a CI/CD pipeline that automatically updates the FROM line in a Dockerfile on every upstream release is an only solution.

I disagree, if it's new information or perspective, not discussed recently and broadly interesting it could be appropriate. That said, this article is pretty trollish, at least the beginning. Whether you agree or disagree with the side remarks he's making, he's throwing out stuff that will provoke an angry response and not advance the discussion.

Yes, all cards issues by russian banks (Mir, MasterCard, Visa) work inside of russia, because in 2014 Russian central bank forced all payment systems to work through processing center in Moscow.

Besides, Russian banks are already promoting new cards - "Mir + UnionPay", where Union Pay is Chinese alternative to MC and Visa and it should be possible to use new Mir cards everywhere abroad where UnionPay is accepted.
It's better to only change one thing at a time, not to get your dependencies updated as a surprise when you're trying to update something else.

Besides, if the dependencies aren't pinned in version control, how can you answer a query like "On this date last year, what version were we running?"
There's quite a number of people on the streets. Can't vouch for veracity of the posted content as I'm outside.
Same with pip/Python. Recucing dependencies to a bare minimum helps long term survival of software.
More likely this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UR-77_Meterorit, but in the Russian it's still not clear. The translation is not perfect, I tried to improve it a bit below:

They ask you (hypothetically) to work out the probability that human rights could be protected in various circumstances, including using meteorites to attack prisons. You try to clarify about the meteorites, they tell you it's just to be confident in the estimations, nothing like this would actually happen.

The part of my brain which thinks deeply and produces elegant solutions simply shuts down when I constantly have to explain my thought process to someone else. I actually have the same problem in pair programming interviews - my brain tends to freeze up and comes up with strange, hacky workarounds at best.

Later, when I’m alone and can focus the proper answer usually comes to me. I know there are others like me who produce their best work when they can focus, alone.

If pairing works for you, then that’s great, but it needs to be consensual and optional.

The problem with pairing is that it tends to be championed and enforced by more social workers (especially managers), and forced on the less social ones, who are often not in a position to refuse.
