Do you have a (recent) source for that? I can’t imagine that to be true with the impact this war has had on daily life for Russian.

The Russian government acknowledged that hundreds of soldiers died, publicly. That’s not a tiny mission.
It's Russian strategy to wait for the supply lines to move with the convoy.

They need to bridge more distance with not enough resupply trucks. So they wait from a secure distance to resupply the convoy. It's also at important intersections to cut off main roads.
Even the "pro-Ukrainian" population in Ukraine has sought neutrality in the US-Russian conflict but American regime-control and regime-change operations ensured that whoever came to power would have to kowtow to American demands. This is a proxy-war. Plain and simple.
This is what I see in my country (Czechia) as well. Right after covid propaganda started to collapse even in mainstream media, we have another distraction. In fact, we have here devastating inflation and prices of food going up like 20-50%. Last month I've got new prices for gas. Bill is 600% higher. But media don't care. It's ticking bomb for poverty.

Beside of this, our gonverment signed new law that is above our constitution and basically give ministry of health unlimited rights to close business, put individuals to quarantine by message and so on. For our safety, of course.

All EU countries have to signs those totalitarian laws: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/cs/policies/coronavirus/pand...
> The eu, at its heart a “peace project”, now dabbles in the vocabulary of war.

What garbage! It's a political entity. Von Clausewitz had something to say about war and politics . . .

Honestly, my only complaint about go mod major versioning is just how unintuitive versions after v1 are. While some may disagree about the tradeoffs, I think the reasoning behind it is totally solid, but there are definitely valid complaints about the exact behavior of modules being somewhat confusing. I recall confusion with trying to update a library with no tagged versions, too, for example.

That said, I think people greatly undersell how well Go has done packaging. There’s, again, tradeoffs that are at least arguable; but, I hate when people say things like “Didn’t (npm|apt|cargo|…) already solve this?” Honestly, often times the answer is at best “kind of?” — a lot of these packaging and versioning problems remain without complete solutions. Meanwhile, Go has some novel design choices that set it apart. The module proxy is a slightly unfortunate tradeoff, but Go remains one of the only languages with a good story for mostly decentralized package management. The module proxy is more of a hack that gets you some of the advantages of centralization without strictly depending on it. But beneath that, it’s nice that you can pull packages from basically anywhere with several VCSes.
> "stop doing war"

That's not how war works.

Have you considered that these actions might provoke and prolong greater conflict?
No? Who told you that?
The field of international politics has been embarrassingly primitive to the degree that "The end of history" is a work of a serious scholar. Luckily we still have Mearsheimer, Walt and the old school of realpolitik.

I think Mearsheimer intentionally ignores the facts that "power corrupts, great power corrupts greatly", so that he doesn't need to address the annoying abnormalities that great powers fall eventually, and the incoming fall of USA sooner or later, even if the `blob` gets all the strategic decisions right. After all, the blackboxes of great powers would mess up from inside.
I don’t think the word “blaming“ describes what it’s about. Blaming doesn’t help anybody. What it is about is agency. It’s an important distinction.
We do, and it works well.

We put all RFCs in a dedicated single repository. The initial submission of an RFC is a merge request. The review and approval process is similar to that of a code MR. The same happens to subsequent updates to the RFC.

RFCs are versioned internally. But, since we're pretty small, most are still 1.0.

Our team is only under 10, so I haven't thought about the details of scaling this up to larger or multi-team environments. However, I don't think it'd have issues scaling as long as ownership and vision are clearly defined.
For a 5 hour drive (300 miles at 60mi/h), you should be - driver fatigue is a thing.
The problem isn't creating the XML file. The problem is querying it later, after you've dumped it from RAM to disk, you have to load the entire thing off disk back into RAM in order to rebuild the DOM.

A database like SQLite allows you to perform structured queries at faster-than-O(n) speed straight off the disk.
unless ukraine was actually going to attack russia (and even then really re: preemptive war), none of that makes a difference.
In fact in France quite a few major French, local and some international newspapers + tech + science + entertainment + + + magazines are free online with a library registration. The service is called Cafeyn, and you could bookmark, print or save as pdf pages of all publications available.
Elsewhere on the web, he explains his business model:

"There seems to be some correlation between size of the company and the quantity of their needs. The smaller they are, the more needs they have. The opposite is true as well. So yes, many clients pay $2k+ per month and may use the service once or twice a month, equating to under an hour’s worth of work."

Nothing, that's exactly what is happening here. It's also possible for countries to block Russia even if they transit through other countries on the way but that's something completely different.
> If it can't be perfect I do not want a computer without human intelligence controlling cars.

Not even if the AI is less imperfect than humans? In America last year, 46,000 died from road traffic incidents, almost all of which were humans not being perfect.
This sounds exactly like synesthesia[0]. My synesthesia is mostly grapheme-color synesthesia, where I "see" words, letters, and numbers as certain colors in my mind's eye. For me, the letter 'A' is red, which is apparently very common among synesthetes. January is dark purple and March is blue. Not 100% sure if this is part of my synesthesia, but sometimes it seems to manifest in other ways, like how I relate certain songs to animals. The author's synesthesia is extremely interesting though!

On a related note, I wouldn't be surprised if synesthesia is actually more common than we currently think because a lot of people who have it think it's normal or never thought anything of it.

If you're going to make an accusation like this on HN, you should provide line by line evidence. Saying "you copied us" without any examples makes you incredible.
I don’t agree with the premise that Putin can’t win the war. With enough brutality, he will subjugate Ukraine, and from his past actions we have to assume that he’s capable and willing to see this through, whatever the costs. The apparatus of siloviki is ideologically aligned and will continue to back Putin. A coup d'état is very unlikely. At this stage, Russia is "all in" and will do whatever is necessary to put Ukraine under its control. NATO won’t directly intervene unless they are attacked (and then all bets are off). It’s difficult to imagine how Putin could not achieve his goals with regard to Ukraine.
Engines are lubricated almost immediately. The oil pump is typically camshaft driven, so it's only a matter of seconds before everything is lubricated. In addition, modern oils tend to "stick" to parts better and don't drain off as easily. It takes quite some time before they're completely dry.

As far as the material, at one time engines had components of various materials. Blocks of cast iron, heads or intake of aluminum. Now as you state, they are mostly aluminum. While it may expand more than steel, the majority of the components are going to expand at the same rate, unlike in the past.
Easy, NATO expansion is a consequence of Russia's imperialist intentions. Reality corroborates this world view. You could hardly call a neighborhood watch a ill-intentioned alliance against the poor thief. Also, Russian security concerns lie: https://www.reddit.com/r/CredibleDefense/comments/t2mb0c/the...
>Don't be fooled by the memery regarding Tesla. There are 60k+ FSD beta cars on the roads now, all of them with eager drivers wanting to post interesting failures to youtube. If these things were genuinely having trouble, we'd know.

You are completely out of touch with reality if you think the people driving "FSD" beta are eagerly trying to show fault. It's precisely the opposite. You think those who get beta are randomly chosen?

>It's at an effective level 3 already at least in my areas.

That's a loooonnng way from an unattended drive across the country.

You own a car and, I bet, a financial stake in Tesla. Am I right?
In the source file one could just say

import “username/module”

And in the go.mod file the whole URL can stay

require github.com/username/module v1.2.3

I only see advantages with this approach and I imagine it’s a rather “easy to add” feature that can be even backwards compatible.
not in Europe, I'd expect Europeans to know. In the U.S. I don't think I ever even had a module on Chernobyl.
Blessed or cursed by where you are born. These people are leaving Russia because they will get thrown in jail for protesting. They're at high risk of conscription in a war that don't agree to.

I have spoken to Russians and Belarusians over the last few days. They're against what their government is doing. Leaving is one of the only options.

In some ways, IT leaving is worse for Russia than just the sanctions. That 'talent' will never return. That loss will linger.
There were three airstrikes this week. Two of which were supported by the US (Somalia & Yemen). The US no longer provides total deaths counts but simply whether or not civilians died. They don't explain how they determine whether an individual is civilian. In August 29th last year, they killed 10 civilians in Kabul. Just off the top of my head.

You say you're not pro-US but it seems like you're trotting out the usual defenses for US foreign policy. Which is really just Raytheon policy. I'd love to see the US, Russia, NATO, etc. stop killing civilians. Really shouldn't be controversial, but I guess you could at the very least tell the victims of the families when is the "right time" to get justice.

Or is the issue that people in the Middle East are more deserving of war and strife than a country of blonde hair and blue eyed fair-skinned Europeans?
The world has certainly changed a lot in those 27 years. I think the financialization of world's economies, the prevalence of offshore assets/shell companies(The Panama Papers et al.) and a global real estate and art market boom that seem to all but requires "hot" money, have all conspired to make sanctions less effective. That being said I don't think the world has ever seen this level or targeted sanctions so I suppose it's a bit of an experiment. The experiment itself does seem to support your question though I think.
This was the perspective with Arab spring, etc. It’s easy to get into, assuming your perspective and ideology is what’s being shared. However we’ve seen in the last half decade that often isn’t the case, and in fact, it makes misinformation become a dominant thought and ideology.

It’s not so clear cut.

Woah.

I read Mearsheimer's "Tragedy of Great Power Politics", and I think it's one of the most important books ever written. It completely changed the way I think about what's going on in the world.

That being said, I think on the topic of Russia and Ukraine, Mearsheimer is not consistent with his own theory (defensive realism). I completely understand why Putin is doing what he's doing, his actions are very well explained by Mearsheimer's framework; he's not a madman (necessarily). But to say that what Russia is doing is somehow US's fault, that really does not make any sense.

US and NATO do whatever is in their best interest, and that implicitly means they will try to reduce Russia's power. Russia knows that. In turn, Russia will try to reduce NATO's and US's power (and increase their own). That's all rational. Now, to say that the US and NATO have to have some form of guilt, and they should change their actions, that's crazy, it does not make any sense.

To say that the US, or NATO, or Russia, or anyone else is hypocritical, or they say one thing and do another, well, welcome to politics. "Not one inch", said NATO some decades ago. Russia calls foul play. Well, what did they think? People say one thing and do another thing all the time, that's the way you play the game.

But, one thing is to not keep your word about this or that, another thing is to start killing people. By the thousands. And destroy their homes. And make them leave their countries. Is really Mearsheimer incapable of understanding this difference?
I am a big Linux fan but not a gamer. Let me ask all the gamers here, what is currently making Linux not suitable for your gaming?
> You think those who get beta are randomly chosen?

Certainly not. We qualify with a safety score and wait for a new batch of cars to be added.

I genuinely don't understand the level of vitriol about this product. There are a lot of these cars out there. Given the demographics of this site, surely one of your friends has one already. Call them up and get a ride. See it for yourself.

I mean, everything looks terrible if you only watch greatest hits on youtube. There are literally whole subreddits dedicated to bad human driving, even. Yet... things work out. This is working far more than it's not, is all I'm saying. And the echo chamber effect has IMHO gotten a little out of control.

This isn't a hard technology to find for yourself. Go try it.

Options for UK immigrant to work at a US startup
Being on Tier2 visa here in the UK, I stumbled upon a great opportunity to be an early engineer in a US based (but fully remote) startup.

What would be our options to make this work? Startup opening a branch in the UK and sponsoring my new Tier2 is the most obvious one, anything else?
In recent geo-politics, we have generally pushed Europe away from Russia, rather than the other way around.
My mother had it. There is no family history that we know of. At the time we were told it may be genetic, but it also may appear spontaneously.

It affects people differently. For some it strikes the feet and legs first, for some the arms and neck. Some people like Stephen Hawking live with it for years, some only survive a year or two after diagnosis.

It's rare, so diagnosis is often preceeded by wrong guesses at more common explanations for the symptoms. There is no test for it; it's basically diagnosed by ruling out everything else.

I didn't know that. We have a strong support for Welsh speakers here but despite that the last person not capable of speaking English has already died many years ago. I imagined it might be the same for Russian people who don't know the latin alphabet since it's taught in school now and everybody goes to school nowadays.
It’s an elegant solution for packages that don’t use versioning features like git tags. For every other package out there that uses git tags, it’s just a lazy solution: why on earth would I want to specify the version in the path? Git tags solves that problem in a more elegant way (both from the side of the maintainers and users).
Now that’s what I am talking about.

USDC (On Solana) being used to buy goods from a real shop with the very low fees, instant settlement time and no high volatility.

Looks like this may be a candidate payment option for paying for groceries in a local supermarket with these advantages.

It’s very promising and impressive. Unlike what I have seen from the other older cryptocurrencies.
As a kid, I lived for several years at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida (my dad was stationed there). The C-5A was tested there; we got used to seeing and hearing it passing right overhead in the landing pattern.
of course, I never said otherwise. But even still, in the US the federal government is keeping lists of people who they feel should be banned across all social media, and sending them to Facebook (and surely others). When private sector and government work that closely, the line blurs quite a bit as to whether it's government or private sector, and whether that's become a distinction rather than a difference.
You'd be the same guy wanting to take assault weapons of all Americans that own one ONLY to turn-around and say it's OK for Ukraine to hand out these same weapons to their citizens and let loose a handful of criminals to defend the country. What are your thoughts on USA perpetrating a violent coup in Ukraine by replacing its democratically elected Government with an anti-Russian one in February 2014? https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2018/06/04/how-and-why-the-u-s-go...
The USSR didn't fall because of protests. The USSR fell because Gorbachev was willing to give up the USSR. Putin is not Gorbachev. Putin is the longest serving Russian leader since Stalin. And the history of the USSR is full of armed actions used to suppress local rebellions. Even Khruschev, the other reforming premiere of the USSR known for his post-Stalinist thaw, intervened during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution [1].

The fall of the Russian Empire in 1917 happened at such a different time in world history (smaller differences between the state's military capabilities and individuals military capabilities, more diffused knowledge of warfare among civilians due to frequent occurrence of wars, greater difficulty in monitoring communications due to older forms of technology, etc) that it doesn't serve to offer many lessons to modernity.

If anything Putin's Russia is much closer to China during the 1989 Tiananmen Square movement than Gorbachev's USSR.

I recently finished a 2nd reading of DDIA and while listening to a podcast featuring an interview with Martin Kleppmann, I got so thrilled when he mentioned that he plans to release another book in the coming years.

DDIA is so good that I feel the same kind of anticipation I have as when waiting for a next in a series fantasy book to take me back to a parallel world with characters I've come to love and miss like one misses a good friend they haven't seen for a while.
So AV can travel anywhere in Phoenix ? It actually prove my point.

So the problem with AV is not the AV but the HV. If AV cannot communicate with other AV, or at least trust that other cars will not behave irrationally, they will never be able to self drive.

With mixed AV/HV those hard problems cannot be solved.

Note that this true for any kind of robot.

Look at amazon warehouse robots, they are operational in their own part of the warehouse, while humans are operational in other parts. This is one of the reason that we do not have home robots.

Yes, analog computing can be more efficient and faster. But there are reasons why analog was eclipsed by digital.

1. Flexibility. Reprogramming digital computation is easy and quick.

2. Robustness. One can mass-produce devices that operate in the digital domain and sell them as working as spec'd. But operate them in the analog domain, and you will work with a million snowflakes that all operate slightly differently, giving different computation results. And when temperature changes, the result of your analog computation will inevitably change, too. You can work around that by adding more circuitry, and partly also on the algorithmic end but it will cost efficiency and precision.

Matrix multiplication on an analog device is great, unless you want an exact and reproducible result.

I think it's a difference in what one considers to be "the API". Linux is very much to the de facto API side, whereas some other project might be more one the de jure API side with a rigid specification and allowing any change within that. Most things are probably somewhere between the two.
Yes, in a modern car you have computer running life critical software. But these components have redundacies and a very very limited scope of operation. With self driving there is one central decision maker where it is hard to come up with redundacy. If it fails that is a major problem.
If for instance your ABS fails (happed to a friend on motocyle) you are still braking.
