>Why did Russia raise the stakes in December? Sure, NATO's eastward push has demonstrably increased tensions but the eastward push has been frozen since about 2014 since countries can't join NATO if they have territorial conflicts.

Formal joining was on hold, but everything else was accelerating since 2014. Most notably arms shipments, military funding, and NATO/US troops in Ukraine. At some point, there are simply too many NATO arms in Ukraine to invade. Russian power is waning, and at the same time Ukraine-NATO integration was approaching the point of irreversibility.

In 2016, Ukraine was granted a NATO Comprehensive Assistance Package (CAP), comprising the advisory mission at the NATO Representation to Ukraine as well as 16 capacity-building programmes and Trust Funds.

In 2018, Ukraine was officially given an aspiring member status.

In 2021 NATO reaffirmed that “Ukraine will become a member of the Alliance with the Membership Action Plan (MAP)", which is the most traction on the topic since 2008.

From the Russian perspective the window to stop Ukraine was closing. Look at how much trouble they are having now. It would only have been worse with another year of arms shipments and training. Perhaps Russia miscalculated an they already waited too long.
The article clearly states what the outcomes were in each of the cases. It's literally a summary.
It's definitely worse with snow, but the areas where "roads are sometimes wet" are a superset of "roads are sometimes covered with snow."

That is to say, you could have L5 in Miami without handling snow, but rain...
there's no cost to google besides the registration fee, if it's your zone, you're paying that fee anyways. The only way to not pay a fee is to go through a free dyndns provider that you have to use a hostname off of their zone.
Following the news I'd guess that the situation in Russia is deteriorating rapidly, especially with the currency becoming worthless and accounts being frozen.
Who knows what kind of draconian laws the authorities will come up with to counter the coming social unrest? Better leave now while you can still afford it.
I don’t think this extension receives additional data that the publisher did not willingly provide. Besides I am pretty sure many others would be willing to offer said resources for free (if it wasn't for “good” guys with assault rifles showing up to enforce information and knowledge transfer controlls)
I hear you and I understand the technical aspects of it but I think you're making the false assumption that Google indexing == content is public. That may be the user expectation, but that doesn't mean it's true. Am I off base here?

I'm having a hard time envisioning a scenario where giving Google exclusive data will be in any way good for content creators and site owners in the long term.

If we took it a step further and gave google private direct feeds from publishers, would you then be OK with the automatic moat around Google's services that would then be built? How about the one that formed from the private subscription data that you needed to feed to them for them to tailor their searches to your preferences? What if they started charging for search? Would you then go to another search engine that did not have the private content feeds and could not, by design, find those relevant paywalled results?

edit: Just to reiterate, I'm not defending the paywall practice (or breaking it, for that matter). I just see this practice pushing paywalls to be hard rather than soft.
> it denies the recipient the chance to read the message and tactfully choose to ignore it for some time.

This is exactly why I don't like it, I don't get the chance to prioritize work. Just like the examples in the link, if someone replies with just "hi," I will put it at the bottom of the request pile because I have 19 other things to do. All of those things are known quantities, this "hi" isn't.

I'm sure it's confirmation bias but it feels to me that the times of late when I accidentally or, out of a thought that I should be more nice to people, break pattern and reply, I always get sucked into a vortex of fail.
> about control of the oil and gas coming from Russia.

No one focuses on this, but that's what WW1 and WW2 were always about. The eastern theatre was the most active one and it still is.

The EU should just increase its defensive capabilities and call it a day.

Make Poland and the Baltics the new red-line/frontier.
I mean, sure. But I think it's perfectly natural to get pissed off when some other party punishes you for doing something that other party does repeatedly, and without consequence. I imagine that there are plenty of Russian citizens who are against the war in Ukraine, but are also -- perfectly rationally -- angry at the US and West for the new round of sanctions and restrictions.
I also have a Lenovo laptop, it’s an Ideapad. And am very happy with how it is for coding - which is what I use it for.
I tend to agree. Cutting off communications should be a very serious step. There may be some circumstances when we might have to cut off communications as part of real emergency measures --but I don' think doing this is where we want to go.

Why not cut off phone communication too? Maybe postal mail as well? Did we ever stop delivering mail and cut the phones to Germany and Japan during WWII?

While writing our dbt project we looked into more than 60 dbt projects to learn from prior work while developing Elementary, and have been inspired by different things in different places. You're right that we were inspired by a couple of techniques you used, one being that creative way to improve performance (though the 4 thread setting itself is the dbt recommendation in their docs). Another is using z-score for anomaly detection, which we saw in a number of related projects and it's widely used in the industry.

In terms of the lineage, you can see in the code that we mostly rely on query and access history that exist in Snowflake and Bigquery to parse the queries and learn about the connection between nodes in the graph. We use other python libraries like sqlfluff and sqllineage as low level parsers for some specific use cases which we extend and solve many things on top of them. Actually we're heavy open source users, depending on around 20 libraries, all MIT or Apache.
You can probably manage to have 10x less chance of a serious accident than the average human by being sober, calm, attentive and caring about braking distances anyway. "Approximately as well as a human", measured by a pool of human accidents dominated by serious driver failings is a pretty low bar.
This stunned me because I realized solving a difficult medical condition could be done using existing tools and logic to systematically work toward a solution.

I am encouraged that he is now in an newly created job at a medical college helping parents solve other problems. It expands the amount of brain power for medicine.

What would really be neat was if open source tools could be created to help him solve more medical problems. I think that it would be an excellent use case for AI.

If someone is going to disconnect Russia from Internet it is going to be Russian themselves, to limit the free flow of information that might be conflicting with the official truth.

But like with the Chinese firewall, information find its way. Unless Russia wants to set itself back to 70s, they still need to access Github, Cloudflare, Amazon Cloudfront, etc. For the Russian IT business to work. It is going to be very inefficient to run anything with a pen and a paper.

Software development and Internet were built on scientific principles, criticism, criticial thinking. This requires free flow of information. You cannot have one without the other, or you are going to end up with very inferior and inefficient software ecosystem.
> I can change one part of an API and leave another untouched - that's part compatible, part incompatible. It's only an issue if you used the changed part.

When you commit to a version 1, you assume that every user of the package is using every feature you provide through your official API. If you break any slightest piece of the API, you've broken compatibility. It might "kinda work" for many users, but it will almost surely cause significant pain for many others.

> I can make a change that solves a bug that someone was accidentally relying on by doing the wrong thing, but doesn't affect compile-time behavior, nor runtime for anyone using the library the way they should. But that bug-user's code is now broken, is this an incompatible change?

It is not an incompatible change, and it is the responsibility of the bug-user's code to fix the bug in his program.

Of course, when such a thing happens on a large-enough scale, the API developer sometimes cannot afford to "fix" the behavior and force countless users to fix their programs, so the quirk just becomes de-facto part of the API.

In a way these publishers are abusing a public service (search engines) to get a higher ranking, giving the illusion of publicly available content, but then breaking the promise. In practice for their personal private gain they are damaging the system for everyone else, which is much worse imho.
He said top 10 most populous.
For example, debug/pe ImportedLibraries(), which is supposed to return all the libraries that a module imports, was stubbed out to return "nil, nil" in a minor release [1]

I just looked at the Git history and this is plain false. It already looked that way when the big source tree move (src/pkg/ -> src/) was done in 2014. Tracing it back further (to before Go 1.0 times, when there wasn't even a builtin error interface yet and the function returned os.Error), ImportedLibraries was *never* implemented in debug/pe.
I just wonder how many Russians would vote for war in a referendum.

You don't mention the huge, state-managed infrastructure needed to bring water to those places(which seem to be close to exhausting their supply.) I don't think it's climate that's made American agriculture so productive.

When talking about encryption techniques, I think we usually assume that the machine performing the encryption isn't compromised. I.e., keeping a machine uncompromised is a separate area of study / endeavor.

What NC State achieved is cool, but it seems a bit like saying "Homomorphic encryption is broken when you can blackmail the sysadmin."

Watching the events in Ukraine unfold recently reminded me of his cynical "War is Kind":

Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind.

Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky

And the affrighted steed ran on alone,

Do not weep.

War is kind.

--

Hoarse, booming drums of the regiment,

Little souls who thirst for fight,

These men were born to drill and die.

The unexplained glory flies above them,

Great is the battle-god, great, and his kingdom—

A field where a thousand corpses lie.

--

Do not weep, babe, for war is kind.

Because your father tumbled in the yellow trenches,

Raged at his breast, gulped and died,

Do not weep.

War is kind.

--

Swift, blazing flag of the regiment,

Eagle with crest of red and gold,

These men were born to drill and die.

Point for them the virtue of slaughter,

Make plain to them the excellence of killing

And a field where a thousand corpses lie.

--

Mother whose heart hung humble as a button

On the bright splendid shroud of your son,

Do not weep.

War is kind.
it probably would, but still more useful to steam deck users since battery usage can be dependent on hardware (and drivers for that hardware) specific to the deck.

Um, yeah, it is - by most reasonable definitions of the word "database".

No doubt there are a few unusually-narrow definitions of "database" out there that would exclude Git, but I'm pretty certain they're in the minority.

A) also doesn't work unless all other road users (bikes, scooters, skateboards, pedestrians, etc.) are also banned from the roads. The other option is limiting the autonomous cars to tunnels or dedicated tracks, but then we're just reinventing trains again.

Hi, thank you! The way we see it, AWS Deeque, as well as Great Expectations and dbt tests, are used for static data testing. This is great for many use cases, however there are problems you will only detect by continuously monitoring. Just like in software engineering you use both unit testing and monitoring.

Easy to say from the comfort of your keyboard and within a democracy that responds to polling data and protest. In Russia you'll get thrown in jail for 15 years.

Also realize that statistically speaking you likely didn't dissent when we invaded Iraq. We were propagandized and consent was manufactured via the NYT and others. If your family was driven into poverty as a result, I don't believe you would have welcomed it whatsoever.
Depends a lot on components, for example, the Steam Deck only has 4 physical cores, a laptop might have more and that is ignoring if you have a different architecture than Zen 2.

You can do a lot to optimize the battery life on a Steam Deck, but it also does a few things automatically, which a laptop doesn't (like capping framerate in a very efficient way).
> have said that they seem to be seeing less “patriotic American right wing” trolls (paraphrasing) in their mentions, etc, since the Russian twitter ban

I've heard similar things, and it seems plausible, but I'd really like some solid data.
Probably! In that sense, this may be the first time anyone has attempted to maintain a large index of games by power consumpion.

I do find it somewhat amusing that the existence of the Deck inadvertently creates a universal benchmark. I wonder how useful that data will prove to be over time as units age and new SKUs are released?
Because the West chose to impose these sanctions and restrictions, knowing full well that regular Russian citizens would be hurt by them, but also be fairly powerless to change the course of their government. "I'm pissed that you are hurting me because of the actions of others, and I can't meaningfully influence what these others will do." Seems pretty reasonable to me.
> there have been so many illegal wars

Is this even an "illegal" war? I mean, other than by the standard of "every war is an illegal war"? Not taking sides (I don't know enough about the history and politics to do so), but I know Ukraine was part of Russia until very recently. If, somehow, Mexico had the means to do so and were to try to "take back" Texas... I can't help but wonder if the international response would be a lot more neutral than the response to Russia trying to "take back" Ukraine.
<rant>

Some of the responses on this thread are appalling. Misanthropes are dehumanising people based on nationality. I wonder:

Does every German bear responsibility for WW2?

Does every US citizen bear responsibility for the genocide in Yemen (I could about 60 countries here...)?

Does every Ukrainian bear responsibility the Azov regiment crimes?

WTF is wrong with you ppl? Get your shit together.

You're acting as if a 5-year old in Russia is a lesser human being compared to a 5 year old in Ukraine. They're both 5-year olds.

</rant>
It's a good thing for the public to know what the Russian administration and people are saying and thinking, no pardon is required. This is another good reason why not to banish .ru from the interweb. It's the other side that benefits from silencing the opposition, which is a sign of who is winning the debate.
Surely his approval ratings must have taken a massive hit?

The OMON, military and state media will also loose their life savings and suffer under the war and sanctions.

There's just so much protests they can handle and with more and more people with nothing left to loose, the momentum can quickly overwhelm them.

It's not gonna be easy but you're running out of options. Best of luck if you choose to fight.
I'm not talking about pedantry, but pragmatism. Git is not designed to be used as a conventional database, and should not be.
And the media, who echo the statements of those blue checkmarks as though they were the authoritative words of god himself.

> Growing the mycelium really fast and efficiently requires quite a bit of energy input (heating, humidity controls, airflow…)

Given the impact of climate change, it's not really worth saving a little bit of oil to make the plastic (which, since it's not biodegradable, will probably not contribute to increasing greenhouse gasses) if you have to burn more oil, which will produce CO2, to make the mushroom-based packaging.
L4 is basically reinventing trains, with invisible tracks in the form of high-def maps. Even that is just so hard ;_;
> I'm pretty sure almost every army has a disproportionate amount of far-right extremist.

Would anything about your opinions change if this turned out to be extremely incorrect?
Probably the same reason that not all Russian banks have been cut off from SWIFT.

Because this lets the West pick and choose to only enforce sanctions that hurt Russia, without enforcing sanctions that would hurt itself.
Exactly. "All conditions" means all conditions. Once a self-driving 4WD truck can be relied upon to get me over Echo Summit pass on US-50 during chain control / whiteout blizzard conditions, then maybe, just MAYBE I'll start to take it seriously. "Full" self driving, at least as of 2022, relies too heavily on all cows being spherical.
Looks nice in principle, but being suitable for the actual daily use (for coding) will depend on how it renders in a specific IDE at a specific size on a specific OS. There's LOTS of mono fonts that look great in larger sizes or on Macs, but that all but unbearable to look at in smaller sizes on Windows.

There's no mention of this font having a manually hinted TTF version, which is pretty much required for rendering under these conditions. This gives me a very big pause. As others have said - at $75 a pop this font absolutely needs a downloadable, installable and usable trial. How it looks in PDF and rendered to a bitmap may showcase its design well, but not its real-world usage. That's assuming that the author means to position it also as a coding font (which seems to be the case judging by the samples).
Martin's writing and explanation style is truly awesome! I read his book DDIA (Designing data intensive applications) and listened to his distributed systems class lectures [1].

My understanding of Bell Labs is that it was funded via a 1% flat "tax" on all Bell System operating companies, and that internally it had no central mission. That's why all kinds of non-telecommunication advancements have come from it: radio astronomy, DNA sequencing machines, solar cells, etc.

I can't find an article for it, but I remember reading somewhere that AT&T's extravagant research budget and forays outside of telecommunications were partially a defensive maneuver: AT&T was aware that the US government could dismantle its monopoly at any moment, and invested heavily in R&D as a token of good faith.
Furthermore, although it's for use on the autobahn, it's limited to 37 MPH, further narrowing its use case.

There already are in Phoenix and Arizona.

>There will be self driving cars on special self driving lanes.

This doesn’t solve any hard problems for AVs. Rules around the self driving lanes would be violated by pedestrians and human-operated vehicles, and the car would need to react to that appropriately. Would also prevent last-mile trips, which sort of eleminates the whole point of AVs.
No. Not unequivocally.

Do you know about what Victoria Nuland (leaked intercepted tapes), Senator John McCain, Senator Lindsay Graham, Hunter Biden, CIA John Brennan, etc. did in Ukraine?

Zelenskyy ran on peace with Russia, but his puppet masters in Washington would never have allowed that.

So, by late-2021, do you know that Zelenskyy had a sub-28% approval rating from his own population because he threatened to acquire nuclear weapons, threatened to join NATO, join the EU (comes with military connections also, BTW), take back Crimea and the entirety of the Donbas, etc.? His population mostly wanted Austria-style neutrality but he was being strung along by the US because we wanted to turn it into a battering ram against Russia.

So, Russia acted pre-emptively. Heck, by our logic, this war is more justified than the Invasion of Iraq in 2003.

You have to look at the entire political situation in Ukraine, starting at least since 2003-4. And, especially 2014 and the US-backed putsch that took place that year.
