When I don’t know, I extrapolate.

If logistics of the ground forces is a challenge (https://www.economist.com/europe/2022/03/04/why-a-huge-russi...), logistics of the airforce would be a disaster.
>I suspect we are going to see some turmoil in the tech hiring space

I agree, but I don't think the disruption will go the way you or I hope it would.

Many of the companies that is "one tier" below were able to offer higher comp only because of sky high valuation from the recent bubble. Most of them aren't in the kind of cashflow positions that can sustain such high cost if the stock value correct. If we enter an economic situation where stock value go down for companies like MSFT, Google and Apple, what do you think would happen to the stock price of high flying growth companies that don't even make a profit?

And guess what, most of them are coming to the realization that you don't need to actually pay $300k+/yr to hire some IC just to build React components or spin up another Node.js microservice. I know of quite a few companies (especially the ones that took a beating on the market recently) that's already starting to pivot more aggressively to foreign developers and starting to look at engineering offices outside of the country. If anything, the past two years only made a global workforce to be easier than ever to adopt.

Basically I think given the macroeconomic that's going on, the days when barely profitable or even cashflow negative "growth" companies offering FAANG-beating compensation packages will soon be gone. The numbers just won't add up anymore.
BSD makes you a minority of a minority, so that’s probably to be expected. Afaik it offers sandboxing and a better security model, reduced screen tearing, etc. Nvidia dragging their feet has surely impacted on the early adoption of the project.

It’s also created painpoonts. I’d be using fedora, but there’s no assurance on the content within the fedora community repos. I don’t really want to apply trust there, so I stick with Ubuntu for better or worse, all because of nvidia.
Nice read. Just as there's times where middle class could (kind of) play both roles, there also some situations where you get the downsides of both.

For instance, a middle class acquaintance once told me about his years in high school that "the rich guys didn't like me because they thought I was poor, and the poor guys didn't want me because they thought I was rich".
The attack (I think) would work like this:

- You own the domain trust.org pointing to IP address 2.3.4.5.

- Someone performs a BGP hijack on 2.3.4.5 and now hosts their own server on 2.3.4.5.

- They then ask Letsencrypt for a certificate to prove they are trust.org. Letsencrypt provides them a token to host on their website to prove they control it.

- Letsencrypt does a DNS lookup, sees trust.org resolves to 2.3.4.5, and performs a http request to that website to check for a token which the hijacker has duly placed on their server at 2.3.4.5.

- Letsencrypt issues a certificate for trust.org, which is now valid and controlled by the hijacker.

None of this requires access to CAs installed on anyones machine, because Letsencrypt is widely trusted and they are the ones issuing the cert.

Proto-Baltic and Proto-Slavic have separated much, much earlier than various Slavic language families. Balto-Slavic is typically dated to somewhere between 3000-1000 BCE. On the other hand, the Common Slavic period is 600-1000 CE (and mutual intelligibility went on even longer). The degree of similarity between the languages is simply not comparable.

The economic structure wasn't great, but people can disagree as to whether it was due to the power structure (a militarism and imperialism-obsessed dictatorship), and how much of it due to the fundamental problems of... The weird, state-capitalism flavour of 'communism' that was used in practice in the second world.

Then you get into no true Scottsman arguments about what is, and what isn't communism, and whether or not state capitalism is guaranteed to be a failure, or whether it was state capitalism, as practiced by the Eastern Block is guaranteed to be a failure. And then you can further split hairs as to whether or not having some aspects of state capitalism in your economy are better than having no aspects of it, and where the optimal line is.

And then you find that you've wasted hours of time arguing, but haven't actually convinced anyone, or learned anything new.

I'm in a pretty similar place a few months along (programmer getting into hobby electronics).

I mostly buy from DigiKey. They have a very wide selection of professional stuff, and they also resell adadruit and other similar hobby stuff (I think adadruit is a great company that makes great products personally).

You're not going to find a raspberry pi anywhere except from a scalper (~2x MSRP) for at least a few months, though. See https://rpilocator.com/?country=US .

I started off with rpi, but quickly realized I preferred not having a whole OS to manage. All my projects are now using adadruit boards, mostly feather nrf52840 ($20, Bluetooth low energy, great rust or circuitpython support).
The Russians have traditionally been very good at radio direction finding. They could then send in land forces or one of three model "Wild Weasel" aircraft they had - the Yak28N, the Mig-25BM in small numbers, then the Su-24M.

The role of a Wild Weasel aircraft is to tempt enemy radar operators into turning on their units and start transmitting. Whereupon the aircraft would launch an anti-radiation (radio-homing, not "nuclear") missile at the transmitter. The USAF has the AGM-88 and the Russians have the Kh-58 and the Kh-31 to do this. Note that all this happens while the Wild Weasel is being attacked by surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft fire.

As to why the Russians are being so ineffective at SEAD in Ukraine - no idea but I'm not going to give them any improvement suggestions.
>As fun as it is to dunk on the Russians for their incompetence here, it seems far more likely to me that it's a sign of the profound competence of the US/NATO at electronic warfare.

As much as I'd like to believe that US Wild Weasel aircraft orbiting outside Ukraine are capable of zapping Russian aircraft inside Ukraine and Russia itself, this does not seem likely.
That's pretty ironic because I've definitely seen hentai for sale on Amazon.
> But what if Putin isn't lying about his intentions. What if his intention is to have a special operation, it's just that his definition of a special operation doesn't preclude him indiscriminately killing civilians. (but it DOES preclude him launching the full might of the russian air force)

That kind of thinking seems implausible (i.e. he feels tightly bound by some contrived definition to hold back his air force, but not his army).

It's far more plausible that the "special operation" language is a propaganda smokescreen. More specifically a domestic propaganda smokescreen, since they've very suddenly made it very illegal to call it anything else.
I'm not very informed on tanks, but IIRC the Armata series are their next-generation tanks, and they cost like 3-4 million each. Invading Ukraine would be the opportunity to throw old stockpile nevertheless, much like the bombing of Afghanistan helped replace old USA bomb stockpile.

When the CA is giving you, supposedly the owner of someguy.example, a new certificate, how do they verify that you're you first?

One common way is they tell you a magic, unique string and you serve it under someguy.example/.well-known/whatever and they connect to you and verify it's there and matches. But if BGP is being hijacked, when they connect to you, they could really be connecting to some scammer. How would they know? So now some scammer has proved they're you and they'll be given a valid cert for someguy.example.

The other common verification methods have similar holes.
No evidence, just intuition.
The author barely mentions SEAD in the post, and makes an offhand comment that the Russians should be able to take care of SAMs with large formations. I think that qualifies as down-playing, but I can see how you might disagree.

If by "we" you mean the US, then absolutely, that's what "we" think—hence the crippling sanctions on Venezuela and Cuba in our own sphere of influence for exactly the same reasons.

All great powers do this—US, Russia, China today—and always have.

Whenever I ask online about linux gaming a lot of people say that they have better or equal performance on linux than on windows. My experience does not replicate that. My theory so far is that people that have better or equal performance on linux have powerful machines.

For instance, my GPU have low DRAM and it's on a laptop, I got a solid 60 fps Dark Souls III on Windows, whereas I face 50 ~ 30 fps on linux with micro stutters every now and then.

Besides that, my experience with Linux gaming is that it was absolutely not plug and play, it required me a lot of experimenting, changing proton versions, keeping myself up-to-date on the latest env variable to fix issues with my games, disabling composition on your DE, etc etc and etc.

I used to have fun tinkering with this stuff, nowadays I don't have the time/energy/will to educate myself on the latest tools to run a game, so I just keep a windows partition for gaming purposes.

> That's a very naive take.

No, it's factual.

> They weren't russian colonies but they were within its sphere of influence

A “sphere of influence” is a collection of peripheries of metropolitan state, a geographically compact set of colonies. Your explanation is self-contradictory.

> Just like cuba, canada and the entire western hemisphere is within our sphere of influence.

They... aren't. Yes, the US asserted something like that with the Monroe Doctrine in the 19th C, but it's not at all the case now. The US has many allies in the Western Hemisphere, some of who might reasonably be viewed as client states, but it definitely doesn't include Cuba or the whole hemisphere.

> Do you know what would have lead to an invasion of canada? Canada's request to join the soviet union.

Whataboutism is silliest when it has to rely on speculative assumptions about ridiculous counterfactuals.

If you really feel it is a shame that you don't get to feel the pain of the crisis in Ukraine, that's...easily fixable.

This makes no sense at all. Are we supposed to just pretend that Trump never made these claims? It's one thing to try to continue supporting these claims with false information and an entirely different thing to post him repeating those claims in an unrelated matter.
One of the hosts wrote this about it [1]:

particularly appropriate quote:

> What casual observers might not understand, however, is just how far the policy goes. Not only does YouTube punish channels that spread misinformation, but in many cases, it also punishes channels that report on the spread of misinformation. The platform makes no distinction between the speaker and the content creator. If a channel produces a straight-news video that merely shows Trump making an unfounded election-related claim—perhaps during a speech, in an interview, or at a rally—YouTube would punish the channel as if the channel had made the claim, even if no one affiliated with the channel endorsed Trump's lies.

Anker sells a relatively cheap dongle that will do 100Hz ultrawide over HDMI.
I think it agree. Bloatware is always installed by the vendor but is usually third-party software.

I think the key definition for me is if it is part of the "system" it isn't bloatware. Bloatware is something that is unnecessary added on. Especially if it could be added in by a third party, for example pre-installed Facebook apps.

Of course the system isn't a well defined concept. In the example about I think the "optimizer" feels like system whereas the game center feels like bloatware.

This thread is about using the alcohol synthesized from CO2 to create alcoholic beverages, not using the CO2 to carbonate beverages.
You could be right, but if you acknowledge that it's possible in principle to do this, why wouldn't we be investing heavily in it? Being able to ground an enemy's air force without appearing to fight them would be an incredibly powerful capability. I think there are a lot of reasons to believe it should be possible, and if it's possible, every reason to believe it would be invested in.

I certainly don't have any evidence to prove it though, so its certainly reasonable to disagree.
> IMO, minimum requirement for level 5 driving is merely to match human driver accident rates.

Minimum requirement for nerds, maybe. Minimum requirements for ordinary folks will probably be more along the lines of "will be noticeably better than me on average" and "will not make any given mistake more frequently (or more severely) than I would".

i.e. I expect people a lot of people would want "strictly better than me on practically every axis" as their minimum requirement, not just "on par with me based on the average accident rate". People just aren't going to put up with seeing cars make dumb mistakes that they would never make, even if the accident rate ends up being good on average.
Not disagreeing with the essence of what you said, but truthfully “L1” and “L2” is distinction without a difference because nobody can agree on what an L1 speaker or L2 speaker is and many people speak their putative L2 language better than their L1 language. Also many of the speaker counts on Wikipedia are very inaccurate and are just ballpark figures.

There’s a fair bit of talk (see Gen. Mark Hertling) that the column northwest of Kyiv is pretty FUBAR just with traffic jams and logistics, and so it doesn’t need a lot of attention at the moment. Ukrainian special forces have done a lot of damage at the head of the column, and I believe a bridge in the middle of/behind the column has been taken out, at least partially.

We'll see yet how NATO's membership changes in the wake of this. My bet is that it's not going to be a very significant change. Maybe Finland decides to join because they don't want to risk a military confrontation with Russia which would be a big get & hem them in on the Western expansion a bit. But it's not going to be the flood of new NATO members you're hypothesizing.

Of course, Ukraine can talk all they want (and they are).

At some point, though, boots on the ground matter more than words.

The Russians have evidently reached that point.

As best I can tell, this conflict was entirely, completely, utterly avoidable simply by Ukraine following the terms of the Minsk agreements[0], voted on unanimously by the UN (including Ukraine and Russia).

Why Ukraine chose not to live up to their written agreements is anyone's guess. In hindsight, it looks pretty stupid. It's almost like—when you don't live up to your word—people stop caring what you have to say.

It's called a win-win situation. If Russia succeeds and America & it's allies have burned resources trying to prop up a fait accompli. If it fails, then it can act as a mediator. In both cases they've made money from Russia due to the sanctions.

I still fail to see the existential threat to China though. Even if Russia launches nukes, any retaliation is going to be hitting Eastern Europe which is very far away from China.
