This whole thing makes me question the western/NATO motives of not pursuing de-escalation. Wouldn’t agreeing to Putin’s NATO non expansion terms be better than letting your economic competitor to basically establish monopoly on the entire Russian economic atmosphere?

You might notice that their claim of 98% of canvas contexts being 2d rather than 3d is completely unsourced.

The reason is that the bulk is these most likely come from browser fingerprinting and a big chunk of the remainder is ads. Not something they want to highlight in this blog post.
This comment is unrelated to my point. I asked for an example of a viewpoint being eliminated. Instead, I get a wrong answer and a pivot to a request for my views. You're changing the subject yet again to just listing other things politicians have said. That doesn't substantiate the claim that there are viewpoints being eliminated.

I’ve be been waiting for the refreshed Mac Minis for a few months now, with the intention of getting one to replace my laptop and Caldigit hub combo. I was hoping they would be announced at Tuesday’s event but this seems to suggest it might not be until summer which would be disappointing.

Ask Argentines. I'm not sure how many killers they had during the Proceso, but however many it was, they killed many. And, crucially, people knew, and they looked the other way, and if need be said of the victims that "they must have done something". (What else were they going to do anyways? If you live under a murderous regime, maybe the best thing to do is not rock the boat and hope you survive, and the last thing you want is a knock at 3AM and the cattle prod put to your genitals a few hours later and your drugged broken self tossed out of a plane into the ocean a few days later.

There's a always enough people who would enjoy the killing, if only someone would employ them to do it. And most people would probably deal with it as long as they aren't the victims. It's really sad. Our societies are very vulnerable to falling into such messes.
Heh, I remember a variation on that joke from the Polish hyperinflation days.
The Russians showed the 'tactical nuke' card.
So NATO won't get involved with more than a few AT Weapons here and there at max.

Lavrov said, they didn't threaten with nukes.That means they did. That creature was bred and selected over decades for such jobs.

Actually I just indulge in fantasies of burning bastards.
I think you are spot on, just to add to this, I understand why the Ukrainian military does not want to fight outside the cities, It would make them open target for Russian shelling. and the imbalance in forces would probably become more obvious.

I disagree. Certainly you could create a debris cloud, but would it be big and dense enough to actually take out a large percentage of the constellation in a shortish time frame? My guess is no, especially considering that the satellites have some maneuvering capability. I'd be really interested in seeing some calculations about it though. How much mass, how many fragments, how does it spread, etc.

At any time now a martial law can be declared in Russia, closing borders, interning foreign citizens, conscripting any male 18-60 to serve as cannon fodder in Ukraine, confiscating savings etc.
The day the invasion started, it was like early India morning it was the scariest morning I've had in a while.

The sheer rate at which they fired missiles(Cruise? Iskandr?) and the rate at which they were able to cripple anything in sight was scary.

If this is what a reduced capability armed forces can do. I shudder to imagine what a real power can do, and sheer loss of human life and value that humans built would be(is already) heart wrenching.

If you want to see how the communication differs do this small study:

Notice how much people were talking in the first day of the war in Slack. In my experience being in a couple of slack workspaces (one for work, a couple from co-working hubs, 3 professional groups) in some people shared something, in one they created a channel for this, in some other there was one or two threads.

Now think about what was the state of almost all employees: I think the invasion was the main focus of everybody and also I assess the amount of work done these days on average is less than normal.

Now think about what is happening going into an office in that day: Everybody will talk about this. Every conversation will start with this, every chit chat before any meeting will start with that news.

If you remote communication is reflecting this then congrats your organization managed to create a good remote culture.

I am not saying one is good and one is bad. I am saying there is a big difference between them.

Grade A satire. I, of course, have yet to meet anyone with an advanced degree who trusted "the book," as such naivete is the surest route to frustration. Critically evaluating received wisdom is essential to surviving grad school... As is learning to play politics to satisfy the hidebound whilst pursuing your own goals.
Yup, there's nothing wrong with it. Crying about it just an effective way to shut down dissent.
Would you prefer nothing to happen? In the real world, we have two bad choices: either google ignores it completely, which I’m certainly not defending, or some of its employees try to make good. Why punish people for doing the right thing?

Of course I think their support is generally reprehensible. But we don’t have a third choice right now, so these employees taking initiative seems like a win.
And they still have $10k of SALT to deduct. The more you increase the cap, the more it benefits richer people (on a nationwide perspective).

There are a handful of states with extremely high taxes (IL/NJ/CT/CA/NY/MD/etc), but they are solidly Democrat. I do not envision the other Democrat states who would not benefit from SALT cap increases to care about going out on a limb for them.
According to https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ $250k in 1995 is $460k now.

I think the sort of person that just has that amount of available cash stretches most definitions of "Middle Class".
Given their low orbit, it would make the next couple of decades (?? offhand, I'm not sure how long it would take for the debris to completely de-orbit and some of the results are going to be more energetic after any attack) really suck... The resulting loss of life as a result of inability to launch new storm tracking satellites alone should warrant the death penalty for anyone involved in such an intentional attack.
Two 49" monitors? At the same time? That sounds crazy! I like the Dell UltraSharp though.
You just do not have media h many cases. You can go to the Poland station and send a YouTube. Can you go to a Russian …

All these rubbish on freedom of speech ignore the key difference. Individual still matters.
Kessler syndrome:

"...is a scenario in which the density of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) due to space pollution is high enough that collisions between objects could cause a cascade in which each collision generates space debris that increases the likelihood of further collisions"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

So destroying a subset of satellites might create enough debris to cascade-destroy the rest of them. But that would not be limited to SpaceX satellites, and would effectively lock-out human species from accessing space for some time.
Ukraine gov't specifically asked for it, publically. And of course, Russia government responded with anger. "Publicity" is naive. Unquestionably what Elon is doing now is provocative to Russia (and the handful of pro-Russia countries), but at a time when most places don't want to be friends with Russia, it's great PR but more importantly, it has real effects for people on the ground. It sends materialistic support and and condemnation which encourages others to follow suit.
Not so much... Russian media is getting blocked in some places in the west too. RT was blocked from YouTube and TV in the UK for example.
I have a few of them too, but let's be honest when it comes to their limitations. How is a watch winder any better than the Apple Watch's charger?

Again, you're agreeing with YouTube on that point. The Hill's ban was because they didn't contextualize the false information they shared.

Another episode in “Musk tweets stuff and other people try to figure out what he meant.” I don’t think it’s worth republishing unless he clarifies.
You've also got to consider that this is putting _a lot_ of eggs in one basket.

Would 4-5 families really pool all their savings for 10 years to invest in one childs potential business?

Maybe. I think what is more likely is that 250k would represent a portion of the money a family could save and then put at risk. I would say this adds another order of magnitude on the earnings needed to be able to do this.

So I don't think it's worth quibbling over whether 50k or 100k is middle class. To do this I honestly think your parental income needs to be $1M+ a year.

Not true because law enforcement is still in place to take care of crime. Some amount of crime and confusion are also the price you pay to get the benefits of freedom.
The regexp basically tests all dividers of the number (from 2 to the number-1), if it founds one, it says false and stops, if nothing is found, it says true.

101 is prime, but it does "only" a hundred checks approx.

7673121 is divisible by 3, so as soon as it tries to match groups of 3 it succeeds and stops.

767423 is prime, so it needs to do hundreds of millions of checks, that's probably why it hungs.

Basically: the runtime of the algorithm should be equivalent to the minimum divisor excluding 1 of the number.
You wrote everything correct, I just want to explain a little bit for the western audience: “fake” here doesn't mean that facts will be checked. It means: “if you are posting something we don't like - chief editor and some journalists will be jailed”.

IMO the motivated state wouldn't go through the trouble to attack sites physically when they could just DDOS spacex's public IPs. It isn't like their IP address blocks are a secret, and it wouldn't be that hard to narrow it down to the ones that route to Europe.
You can use cubic Bézier curves to approximate a circular arc: https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/#circles_cubic. In many cases that's even how circular arcs are rendered, even when they are represented with a different data structure. You'll often see the the constant 0.5522... which is for quarter circles. E.g. both WPF and Java's Swing render arcs with that approximation, perhaps others, but those where the places where I checked the source code recently.

The benefit of doing this for quarter-circle arcs directly may be that you save a bunch of trigonometry that otherwise has to happen (cf. the Pomax link).

It can easily changed as since ancient time china can claim S belong to C via monolgolian empire. When Russia is so dependent on china for everything, do you think chinese empire would just sit and let Russia grab so many lands of theirs from not so ancient unfair treaty.

For those this is true for there is another elephant in the room: Are companies that embrace remote work simply better at finding mature employees? Otherwise remote employers would clearly be getting outperformed by in-office ones if remote workers were actually less productive.

If I figured out how to do something for $1 and it provides $3 worth of utility, how is it immoral to pay some money to inform people so they can get that $2 of extra utility in their lives by making that trade? As far as I’m concerned, stopping me from running that ad is morally equivalent to destroying the mail sorting machines at USPS.
And yet Lou Gehrig played baseball.
Coincidentally there is war in Ukraine since 2014.
Should be 5 years or less, that's why SpaceX put the satellites in low orbit, the atmosphere cleans it up. Also a low orbit debris cloud wouldn't prevent launching new satellites to higher orbits, the probability of collision just passing through would still be negligible, it adds up as you spend time in the polluted orbits. There are a lot of misconceptions about space debris.
He had to find out, otherwise his fake story wouldn't make sense.
I don't know what you think I am. I'm not a free market or libertarian extremist. I'm not a Tesla fan, or an electric car owner, but I do generally accept the existence of AGW. I tend to think people are insincere about stopping it. I have no clue what Musk is thinking, ever.

I think there are some disingenuous opinions being amplified right now that are maybe due to energy company interests that nobody should be taking at face value. Also, I mean, nobody should take Musk too seriously at any time.

Gasoline prices were way up when I filled up today, and the current US administration is saying they have to limit sanctions on Russia so that...gas prices won't go up. It seems like the ship has sailed and yet CNN reports this uncritically as if it made sense.

Other sources that seem more knowledgeable, say there is disruption because people are afraid of uncertainty, so whether there's actual sanctions is moot.

I don't know if you read my previous comment as denying that fuel is more expensive right now. It is! I was just saying it should be temporary because Russia must be able to sell most of their output to someone. Public statements by India and China haven't left the impression that they're too good to take it.

My main obsession is getting people to explain things that don't make sense to me, that seem incoherent, and they always get angry and refuse to explain. Sometimes, not infrequently, they try to tell me what I think. But I don't think much when I don't understand something. It's a waste of effort.
Russian government has a long history of meddling with elections, non-admission of candidates, falsifying results, for example [1] or [2]. Therefore they cannot be trusted, especially in this case.

You cannot compare US war for independence with Crimea occupation because in US it was an internal movement to become idependent from a metropoly, but in Ukraine the events that occured were caused by Russian military intervention with purpose of annexation of Ukrainian territories. Before Russian intervention in 2014, there were no significant efforts to become independent, there were no war and nobody was dying.

The same with Catalonia.

> What's also not conform, with a whole slew of national laws, is violently overthrowing a democratically elected government

First, their president wasn't overthrown, because he has left the country himself. Second, that doesn't give Russia a right to annex territories.

Interesting, but really odd and seemingly with very different goals than what I had in mind.

As a native Norwegian speaker, on one hand there are lots of words used there which are easier for me to understand than they would be for a native English speaker, but at the same time many are unnecessary reversions towards Old English or pointless changes where modern Germanic languages are closer to modern English.

It seems like a reversion without any thought to how these terms have kept evolving in the rest of the Germanic sphere.

E.g. "riche" on one hand sounds closer to "rike" or "Reich", but "state" has close cognates in most Germanic languages (stat, staat etc.) and stat/staat and rike/Reich have different connotations - we'd tend to use rike/Reich in contexts relating to monarchy or evoking history or tradition. E.g. kongerike/Königreich for kingdom (but also kongedømme), but stat/staat when talking about a modern state.

And e.g. "Hof" as in "Speaker of the Hof", while it has close cognates, is an unnecessary leap given "house" has close cognates too (hus, Haus) which are used in the same context, and the "problem" there isn't the word "house" but the whole construction.

Translating United States to Oned Riches also takes it further away from modern Germanic languages rather than moving closer to them (e.g. Forenede Stater, Vereinigten Staaten).

Similarly, the month names in most Germanic languages are close to modern English. Meadowmonth for July is far harder for me to understand than July - in Norwegian it is juli.

And "lawmoot" for Congress is harder too. Compare kongress, Kongress... At least if they wanted to go that way, e.g. landthing would be far more understandable for speakers of other Germanic languages as a reference to a parliamentary house (moot works fine for meeting, compare e.g. møte, but feels no simpler to me than meeting)

Similarly "landtung" for "language" is weird. In e.g. Norwegian we have "tunge" for "tongue" and it can sort of be used that way, but "tale" is more understandable if you want to go that way, but "speak" as in "to speak" is a closer cognate to the words used for language in other Germanic languages (e.g. språk, Sprache) without sounding archaic.

And "narrowing" for "strait" while in e.g. Norwegian it is "stred", or "landstretch" for "landmass" vs. "landmasse" in Norwegian.

As an "alternate history English" it kinda works. As a "modern Germanic English" it's tiresome to try to read...
Not really such a big deal - there’s no function for yandex to fulfil if there’s no economy, no internet - I give it a week until Putin cuts all international routing.

Edit: see I’m being downvoted, probably because “that would never happen” - I think it’s very realistic that they will either shut down the internet domestically or they’ll cut all non-domestic routing - they want/need information control, and the internet is porous. If dissent continues in Russia, they will do it.

What's wrong with that? Rust seems to be fully capable of doing low level things like drivers and kernels, so why would you choose less abstraction and safety instead of more?
It usually always possible to see the negative aspects of the other side. After all, that's what your side wants you to see.

But it's hard to see the negative aspects of your side.

For instance, did you know that the Ukrainians essentially executed an Israeli civilian at a checkpoint because they though he was Chechen? Our media pick and choose what they report and how they report it.
Then again their neighbors have to live with things worse than jail.
"hardmode" regexes do have important computer science implications: they can be matched orders of magnitude faster [0].
