> Now i wonder if something like this exists for germanic languages.

Dutch.

Only half joking. Dutch would at least make a great starting point in terms of written language.

As a native speaker with English as a second language and German as my third, I can read a whole lot of Dutch because it's closer in spelling to Scandinavian languages than German is, but has kept many words that are still used in German but archaic or different in Scandinavian languages.

It's not unusual for me to find it easier to read Dutch than to read the same text in German despite having actually had German at school but never having had any formal Dutch (and I have no hope of understanding spoken Dutch).

Consider a few examples: skip (Norwegian), skib (Danish), ship (English), schip (Dutch), Schiff (German). Or dag (Norwegian, Danish, Dutch), day (English), Tag (German). Dans (Norwegian, Danish, Dutch), dance (English), Tanz (German).

Where there's broad concordance between the Germanic languages, Dutch is usually close to the majority of the languages, but it often retains some spellings that are readily recognisable to the others when it's closer to German, and in the cases where it's closer to English those words are usually recognisable to other Germanic speakers anyway.
Russia looked the other way because it was in the interest of Russia to look the other way. I believe the recent events in Ukraine have demonstrated that international law is held in pretty low regard. If Russia found it in their interest to intervene or prevent the war, they would have certainly done that. Instead, they chose to step away from one of their few allies/hostages.

If you are an european user you might probably ask for your data under the GDPR law, that might include the reason for account termination.

Otherwise... Dunno.
IANAL but I could imagine that this leads to different problems in some jurisdictions.

Depending on how you look at it using another's entity's cryptographic key to sign something that then "pretends" to have been produced by that entity might classify as forgery.

Though this is just my personal thoughts, not sure if that would hold up in practice. Technically you own the hardware, so "forging" the signature yourself for your hardware probably wouldn't be an issue, but distributing it might be.
Do you have a source? A comment in another thread here[0] says:

> Ukraine says the An-225 was destroyed on the 26th. And their artillery strike came on the 27th.

In any case, it's Russia who attacked, so it's not like whose shelling actually reached the plane is very important when it comes to responsibility.

I don't see the alternative though, it's not like Putin is a hardcore Leninist. There's no real ideology there, he doesn't care for the people. What's the attraction?

Maybe people don't like what is pejoratively called "globohomo", plenty of people in the West don't either, but having everything dictated by a mafia thug and his oil-rich cronies seems far, far worse. I don't get it.

"Most dictators in history were overthrown by their allies or their citizens"

Very few dictators in history have been overthrown by their autonomous citizen uprisings, and even when that has occurred the result is often ... more dictators. See: Egypt. Syria. Revolutionary France. China. And of course, Soviet Russia.

"Just as we had tyrant kings who were sometimes killed by lynch mobs"

I can't think of any examples of this happening in all of English history, but there were a lot of kings so maybe I missed one. The most famous similar event, the Peasant's Revolt, seemed at first to succeed but then ended with the rebels all being killed by the King. Mostly, tyrant kings stayed on the throne until they died of other causes like war or disease. In the case of Cromwell overthrowing the king, that's another example of one dictator being replaced by another.

This whole idea that it's easy to create a stable democracy, that all you need to do is get rid of one guy at the top, is the basic failing of understanding that led to the west's mistakes in Iraq and Afghanistan. The USA spent 20 years and untold amounts of resources trying to turn Afghanistan into a modern democracy, and literally the same week they left it went back to being a dictatorship of the Taliban. I don't think anyone knows how to reliably create stable democracies. Arguably even west Europe doesn't: see the massive 'elite' convulsions over Brexit, an act largely justified by the fact that the EU is itself a dictatorship (try to find out how and why exactly chief lawmaker von der Leyen got her job, and see for yourself). Where was all the outpouring of international support for democracy, self-determination and the ordinary people overthrowing foreign dictators then? Hmm, there wasn't any.

You're absolutely right, but not everybody understands the consequences.

Mozilla/Gecko is on life support with no light at the end of the tunnel. When the ex-CTO of Mozilla picks Chromium to run Brave, and Microsoft picks Chromium for Edge, things become pretty clear: Chromium/V8 is the standard. And not just the standard, also the superior, future-proof engine.

So yes, Brave gets a lot of things "for free", but that's a smart move. Ultimately users and developers don't care.
To be fair, I am around 500 km from the westernmost border, so not that far in American terms. We were affected by the Chernobyl disaster.
There is a difference between hardware that simply doesn't support a use case and hardware that technically supports stuff but was artificially locked to no longer do so.

If the hardware was actually different then of course your argument would make sense, you could build cards that can only be used for a certain use case and sell those, but in that case you wouldn't have to lock down the card anyways

This is a minor issue. Title may be misleading, I don't know how things went, but Russia started the war that caused plane destruction.
What if labor rights and regulations provided nearly all the same benefits as unions but across the board to everyone, union member or not? Union membership could still be something you could choose to do, but the better working conditions be legislated so everyone in the country, no matter what job, had fair working conditions?

I’m someone who is not necessarily pro-union but understand that working conditions could be improved. A great example is 40 hour work weeks. I have never been in a union but because there are laws regulating a standard work week and mandating overtime if you go over, I have benefited from that. We could all collectively as a country lobby for this instead of each individual workplace fighting the same battle one thousand times over.

Not every anti-union argument is based on the one you are postulating.
So you are saying Nvidia hardware is crap, and therefore we don’t want to see their drivers?

Either that means that AMD hardware is far superior, or people do actually want to see the drivers (including workarounds).

> meduza is considered a foreign agent in Russia. I would take it's words with grain of salt

Given the Russian government has labeled numerous foreign journalists, news organisations, and even Nobel peace prize winners as foreign agents, I'm not sure it's Meduza's word we should be taking with a grain of salt.

The regulations are only necessary while there are rogue actors who are motivated to abuse the environment and others, exploring the limits of the law, following the letter but not the spirit, in order to secure themselves.

These people often grew up in adverse conditions (mentally or physically) and are coping with the resulting mental issues. Elon Musk with his South African upbringing and history of extreme bullying is one example; there are many more less obvious ones.

Once we improve the mental well-being of the population as a whole, there would be no incentive for one to ruin things for others for personal gain, and free market would be able to work as intended.

Attraction to what? Putin? Did you misread my comment?

> "globohomo"

I do not know what that refers to.
You're not wrong, but my bigger point was a general stance against tech pessimism. It seems people make up their mind in about 3 seconds and come up with many reasons as to why something is absolutely bad in a very binary way.

As said, you can avoid the crypto part altogether, it's not mandatory. Or, even taking your issues into account, you can try to find some websites you like that do have a wallet, and have a play with it.
A few important things to understand why pressure on Putin is impossible from inside the country and will only lead to deaths inside and outside. Canceling of ordinary people only creates more suffering.

1. In Belarus (a Russian-speaking country, a former Soviet Union country, very similar to Russia and an ally of Russia) - they could not oust Lukashenko even by staging huge demonstrations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%932021_Belarusian_p... . Around 150000-250000 at demonstration in the capital https://static.dw.com/image/55155947_401.jpg. Many were brutally beaten, tortured in detention centers, massively held in small rooms, beaten in police cars even those who were just walking by. IT DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. Lukashenko is still in power, although a year ago it seemed to many that the tyrant had been overthrown. Many oppositioners were forced to flee the country under threat of death, disability, rape, or the removal of their children. Russia is a tougher system and is run by a KGB professional.

How it starts: "Learn from the Belarusians to defend democracy": what the Western press says about the protests, Lukashenko and Putin" https://www.bbc.com/russian/features-53802878

How it ends: "The Revolution of Failed Hopes. How Belarus went from massive demonstrations to repression in a year" https://www.bbc.com/russian/features-58016427

2. The times have changed. Russia has studied the experience and methodology of overthrowing governments. There is an emphasis on the security forces. You will not get past them. They will be supplied even if ordinary people starve to death. They will get their heads bashed in and write it off as an attack on the police. There is active monitoring and opposition on the internet. People on reddit are now complaining that their accounts and channels are being blocked for supporting Ukraine. Do I need to explain how much of the suppression of protests is INSIDE RUSSIA when Russia easily censors Western media and Western bloggers through bots? The people couldn't even overthrow Maduro, and the Russian authorities have a full picture of what is going on and what threatens her internally.
3. The pressure inside the elites is impossible because they are all under sanctions. Many of them have their assets frozen, they are also banned from entering the EU and the USA.
4. Russia has a huge history of concentration camps and torture. Last year there was a huge leak of rape torture archives. Protesters going to rallies are sometimes not just beaten, but are put in jail for several years in general.
5. Navalny, the country's main opposition figure, has been jailed and is likely to get more time in prison. He will probably be in jail at least until 2030-2034. He also thought it was enough not to be afraid and returned to the country after the poisoning. Now he is being psychologically tortured in prison.
6. Many people really can't leave the country. According to sociologists' calculations - more than half of young people dream of emigrating.

Minor point. That bios setting does dedicate some amount of ram to the GPU, so the rest of the system can't use it. The GPU can allocate more than that though if the program makes a slightly different allocate call to request it.

Seamlessly sharing memory between the two chips works fine with the compute toolchain (rocm), I don't know how transparent it is for games.

Even more so because shipping via sea has faced so many challenges due to covid (and probably still is). For example, companies in Australia have used these gigantic planes to deliver items that would have been shipped by sea in normal times, but that was just taking far too long now. The costs are exorbitant in comparison, but if your business needs some gigantic item now there was no alternative.

Nicomachean Ethics. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicomachean_Ethics

Usually critical thinking means two things simultaneously:

1. Degree of willingness to defy group dynamics. Group can refer to an immediate group such as family or employment team yet also more broadly as culture or identity. This defiance is not spontaneous, as in an adolescent behavior for increased independence, but cognitive and intentional.

2. Degree of willingness to act. Under stress people typically defer to a fight or flight dichotomy of decisions. When either the fight or flight conditions are unclear they do nothing. A willingness to act suggests that in the face of uncertainty a willingness to commit to a decision, even if wrong, and execute as opposed to doing nothing as a posture for uncertainty avoidance.

I came here to say this-- for many of the questions, the answer is Undefined Behaviour.

The very 1st one-- I havent done embedded C for a long time, but the 1st thing I was taught was *not* to assume uninitialised variables would be set to 0. The author probably tested on a known safe (read lab like) system.

>> can return what it wants or make demons fly out of your nose,

Indeed, this is the correct answer.

Most the questions on the page seem to be "Let's do weird crap highly dependent on the architecture/compiler, using undefined behaviour, and LOL, we can then blame C"

And not defending C here at all, moved away from it years ago. But there are better criticisms than this
White collar union workers have higher compensation, better benefits and more time off[1]. They also report higher rates of life satisfaction[2].

Unions offer engineers more opportunities for democratic decision making at work, a place most workers spend 8 hours a day or more at. They also offer strong bargaining positions that can help developers own more of the value they create.

I'm sure there are things about the industry and employers that developers could improve. For example, there are quite a few engineers out there that have on call duty expected of them, sometimes unpaid or inadequately compensated. On call duty, often in places with higher rates of unionization or good labor laws, is compensated by 1.5x to 2x+ rate multipliers, includes additional bonuses, and on call duty isn't an expectation, it is voluntary

However, one could argue that a proof of stake Ethereum (for example) would still be worth as much while at the same time drastically reducing the amount of CO2 emitted. So if we measure it that way then moving away from proof of work should be the way to make everyone happy?

No more crypto miners buying graphics cards, far less CO2 emissions, crypto retains it's value since most owners don't really care about how it is made anyways and only see it as an investment opportunity.
Absolutely. On my last NVIDIA device, I ended up using Nouveau (luckily enough my specific card did not have firmware signing - NV110). There were absolutely no crashes, but some games did become unplayable (incomplete features).

Ever since, I have only bought CPU-integrated graphics (an Intel desktop and an AMD laptop for my cousin). Proud to say I have never sponsored the mandatory signed firmware devices.
I concur with the experiences of GP. It is torture. I got mine because of being stupid around power tools more than 10 years ago, for the first 5 years it was merely an annoyance that would often drown out in the background. Lately it has progressed to insufferable nuisance. It contributes significantly to my insomnia, which is also a gateway to major depression.

There are numerous responses to this talk, an outstanding one is the response of Daniel Gultsch: https://gultsch.de/objection.html
Nobody has invented effective programmatic mechanisms/patterns for general decision-making anywhere between if-else state machines and neural nets. The former becomes unmanageable spaghetti and the latter gives no theatrical guarantees.

So we're stuck in a kind of AI limbo.

Efforts exist in beating humans in specific games like chess; these games are often symmetric, i.e. all players compete on fair ground, and the AIs aim to replace human players. But most games don't want this! Most games seek theatrical asymmetry in computer-controlled agents. Most games want the illusion of cleverness without actually being clever, because most players don't want their gaming experience interrupted by undefeatable killer robots. Most games are power fantasies.

I posit that what we actually want is simply some programming pattern for managing complexity in autonomous theatrical agents. Some way to organize the creative will of the game designer easily enough that it democratizes independent developers to craft interesting behaviors.

I've got my own ideas but they're as of yet unproven.
