> definitely you aren't from Russian nor Ukrainian culture

Listen, I have Ukrainian/Belarussian family, pls address my arguments and avoid personal attacks like that.

> he denies existence of Ukrainians as a separate ethnicity, in his proclaimed view Ukrainians are just a version of Russians not capable of governing themselves

That's like saying the USA denies the existence of Texas because it sees Texans as Americans (noticing that Texas was annexed from Mexico not a very long time ago, in case you don't know it). It's ridiculous. I don't agree that Ukraine should be annexed by Russia, that's not what I am saying - what I am saying is that Putin appears to consider Ukrainians as Russians and that's why he wants to, if not annex Ukraine, keep it under Russian's sphere of influence.

> thousands? you're really no aware what is going on.

Yes, according to all data I've seen, e.g. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/25/europe/russia-ukraine-mil...

Maybe you have "insider" information we don't?!

> The resisting will die - he was clear about that

What do you expect in a war? The resisting to be assisted?!? Does that make any sense to you?

> Forcing people out, and killing or converting the rest, all that on the base of ethnicity - that is textbook ethnical cleansing and genocide.

It sucks people have to flee to be safe, but this is not happening for the reasons you think it is. It's happening because Ukraine has only one choice on a fight with Russia: to use urban warfare (people have been calling it protracted war) because in open combat, the Ukrainian military would've been destroyed much more easily - which means that they know their only defense is to mix with civilians and they know well what's going to happen. Do you deny the Ukrainian military is hiding in the cities, which is why Russia is attacking the cities? Or you believe that even if Ukrainian forces came out on the field and stayed out of cities, Ukrainian cities would still be bombarded anyway? If you could prove the latter, I would believe you that there's some evil ethnical genocide going on, but fortunately, the only cities being attacked so far appear to be the cities where Ukrainian military is intentionally bringing the fighting to (I am sure they don't like to do that either, but they made a choice and will have to live with that choice).
As someone who has worked with "contenteditable" and the various javascript rich text editors, I find it quite amusing that they have made this change now. One of the hardest things to implement with contenteditable/DOM is wysiwyg page splitting. Now, just after Google abandons contenteditable/DOM for its own text editor/renderer implementation they add support to disable one of the hardest features they had to implement in the old version.
I think Safari support for PWAs is by now good enough that at least web apps added to the homescreen get to keep their local storage indefinitely. So that is an avenue for apps that can live with the restricted web environment.

Yet, both police and teachers do get fired.

Some of this just comes down to both being local government jobs run by a multitude of independent systems some of which are going to be far below average. There are ~13,506 school districts in the US, so the bottom 5% consists of 675 different systems with a huge range of issues.

The other issue is it can be hard to get replacements.

Boeing and Airbus freighters being a pale comparison is not surprising. They are optimised for cargo volume, much less weight.

Comparing the Mrija to heavy military airlifters (Ruslan, Galaxy, Globemaster III...) would make more sense.

The impressive thing about the Mrija is that it's both good at lifting volume (over-wing transport) and weight.

I am a big fan of negative feedback that inverts some factor and
re-applies it to a problem. This "flipping of sign" creates "poetic
justice", and useful self-correction which itself can be a rallying
spectacle and moral example.

For example: Don't break up BigTech. Directly fund startup
competitors from fines imposed on FAAMG such that their own
misbehaviour becomes the instrument of their undoing.

Tor was created by the US Navy as a censorship resistant instrument in
the project of spreading liberal democratic values. Therefore, money

to fund its development.

I disagree. Greed and malice are just consequences of an unfair society.

The more the people know that rules don't apply to the powerful, then the more the people try to climb the social ladder to become the powerful.

Ideally, on a fair system, you are respected because of your skills or your contributions to society. On an unfair one, you are respected because you have a higher hierarchy than them and nothing more.

My concern with western people criticizing non-western and non-democratic countries is that, aside from some exceptions like South Korea, Costa Rica or Japan, unfair societies that adopted the western-style model of democratic government didn't become more fair in average. On the contrary, western societies got more unfair over time.

Who here made such a point? Anyway, that's not true either.

So, plain text files.

What "other machines"? What problems? What matters is the software, not "machines".

Different traditions have interesting viewpoints.

Several traditions have differing concepts about reincarnation or transmigration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnation

The basic concept is that the soul or spirit (what makes you who you are minus your physical body) is eternal (has always existed and will exist forever) and that you will continue to live various lives or forms of existence.

Some other traditions believe that God created souls / spirits before the earth / universe existed and that physical existence on earth is a step in God's plan for those souls / spirits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-existence
> My bet is on Google Docs style,

Also in the industry. My bet is on all of them. Some people prefer block based, some prefer text, some prefer Markdown, some don't care. Writing a book on Notion is impossible for now, but building beautiful pages is much easier in Notion.

Microsoft and Google (And Atlassian) have all adopted the same strategy which is "Look more like Notion".

I don't think that Microsoft should be worried about Notion. But things are different with Google Docs, which is really threaten by Notion. At the end of the day, most Google docs can be created in Notion without any difference, and I actually doubt Google docs will be able to evolve enough to prevent that.

The strongest advantage of Notion compared to Google docs is not its text editor but it is his list feature. And there are a lot of list porn people. When you have 10% of your workforce being "hardcore list porn people" and 90% of the others being "dont care people". Then it makes sense that the full organization goes closer and closer to Notion

EDIT: "porn list" -> "list porn"
It was a Russian poke at the volunteer neonazi Azov brigades - the only openly nazi batallion in any army in the world (AFAIK). It has the explicit support of Ukraine and the implicit support of the west and was instrumental in Ukrainian state's ability to hang on to Mariupol.

The BBC said they voted against it because the motion was done for "propaganda purposes" and because neonazis are a "small proportion of ukrainians":

https://www.bbc.com/news/60292915

It's a weird justification coz voting against it because it targets Azov is kind of making Russia's case for them.
I don't want to start a debate about solidarity or not since you made your position implicitly clear, but I am genuinely interested: Do you apply the same logic to having a police force while not being robbed, getting insurance or paying taxes? (these are various degrees of the same logic to me, not the same)
It removes the gaps between pages vertically, but it's not an infinte canvas horizontally like OneNote. You also can't place text in arbitrarily-placed text boxes wherever you like.
Have you ever tried to print a Notion document? It feels like they made the "Export to PDF" in a weekend. It's hugely underpowered and under-featured.

It feels like Notion's demographic just dont need to share documents as documents. Notion would likely have put more effort into that feature if they did.

Markdown is "real plain text".

Why not just use letters and avoid punctuation ... that's all Markdown is: punctuation.

> Homer was able to write the fall of troy and Shakespeare Hamlet without bold text.

Oh really? Have you ever seen a manuscript?

Unlike handwritten text, plain text doesn't provide a means to underline, use italics, subscripts and superscripts, etc. Things like Markdown provide conventions for denoting such things in plain text.
I've been using Pageless for a few days. It replaces a fixed page width with dynamic horizontal width adapting to window size, with a viewer-defined maximum width by right-clicking the unmarked horizontal ruler. I find this to be a useful feature for the most part, though it's unfortunate that showing the outline makes the room leftover for text narrower.

Parent post is prime example of this nationalism. Changing borders in Europe (or elsewhere) is very dangerous. Even in central asia, there is hints of separatism in many small areas, fuelling those fires will lead to mass graves.

If you look at the map in Europe, many of them make no sense, if you travel in Europe many people tell you weird feuds with their neighbors. Even between Polish and Ukrainian nationalists there have been massacres and mass graves, these memories still exist between each other.

If we allow changing borders based on history books, blood will be spilled way more. Unfortunately the genie might be out of bottle, because this war will be very long one.

Good luck with the whole zoho suite. We could all use some alternatives.

Reading the article, it’s hard to not see the parallels to actual Republican State Governments and politicians today:

> The alternative reality was nothing but a crooked mirror of the living public sphere, filled with clowns in the place of politicians, cheap imitations instead of functioning social welfare organizations, and propagandists instead of journalists and analysts. It was easy enough to cope; you could just never vote for the clown, never read the fake pundits [...]. They were nothing but terrible actors performing other people’s scripts — tools in a crude political game.

There is an entire political party in the US that’s following this exact playbook. The difference with the GOP has simply been bringing back election manipulation schemes that were outlawed by the Voting Rights act to hold on to political power while claiming to be democratic.

This would have needed to happen a long time ago to have the altnerative energy sources in production today. Which also begs another counterfactual scenario: what if we had spent even a slightly larger fraction of the taxpayer r&d subsidies on renewables rather than the extremely capital heavy nuclear research on both military and civilian sectors, with many decades long dead-ends (breeders, gas cooled, liquid cooled, fission, etc), we'd be decades further along with solar and wind.

> So, Question 1: are their contributions automatically licensed under the same MIT license as the original repository? (Note that their fork, which I'm being asked to merge, contains the identical license file.)

Yes — that is the common understanding, a foundation upon which vast amounts of collaborative Open Source projects are built.

> Question 2: have they (almost certainly inadvertently) assigned copyright over their changes to me? (They're asking me to merge changes from a repository which contains a copyright declaration in my name.)

No. Copyright assignment is involved and needs more than that incidental quirk of that copyright notice in the MIT license template (which is confusing).

> I'd love to hear an informed legal analysis of their differences.

Go with a standard, popular FOSS license. Avoid "crayon licenses" which are poorly drafted, because they lead to legally ambiguous situations which serve both users and contributors poorly. Resist the urge to cut your nose off to spite your face by adopting a purposefully rebellious license.

The original JSON license is the crayon license whose flaws are easiest to understand. It contains the phrase "shall be used for Good, not Evil", which begs the question "who decides what's evil?" and opens up any user to a potential lawsuit.

The OSI ultimately approved the Unlicense, but with a critique. It's flaws are not as easy to understand as those of the JSON license, but here you go:

https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists....

> There is general agreement that the document is poorly drafted. It is an attempt to dedicate a work to the public domain (which, taken alone, would not be approved as an open source license) but it also has wording commonly used for license grants. There was some discussion about the legal effectiveness of the document, in particular how it would operate in a jurisdiction where one cannot dedicate a work to the public domain. The lawyers who opined on the issue, both US and non-US, agreed that the document would most likely be interpreted as a license and that the license met the OSD. It is therefore recommended for approval.
Pretty sure database is also isomorphic to XML, in that sense. I agree that Notion-ish documents are more structured than Word-ish, though.
You are right. Implementing line breaks and pagination algorithms that work well with tables and images - is one of the hardest problems in implementing a word processor. Basically, the newer gen folks want to leave the paper layouts behind and as a result the softwares are becoming simpler to architect - could be a good thing!

> increasing the hash rate of your setup without impacting energy usage means more efficient mining

No, it just means you get more MH/s. It's also (probably) not cheaper to run, unless the cards actually draw less power as well.

Whether that's cost-efficient or not depends on the reward. And with hundreds of TH/s suddenly being freed from LHR, your individual reward will all but certainly go down.
This is absolute bullshit. After being an IC, a tech lead and an engineering manager I can tell you that the one thing is engineers mainly want to be left alone to do their jobs. The job as manager is to stop the pressure from everyone in the company demanding they do everything more quickly to meet some arbitrary bullshit deadline. This attitude infuriates me. Its weak managers who dont know what they are doing that end up blaming their subordinates. So sick of this attitude.
In the US, you automatically have copyright over code you create yourself (assuming there's 'authorship' to make it something deserving of copyright). Sending someone a PR doesn't mean you lose your copyright. You end up in a murky area where the norms of OSS are that your contribution is now part of the package, but they don't have clear ownership over the copyright of all the code in the repo.

This is exactly why most big companies require new contributors to sign a copyright assignment before any of their PRs can be merged. Gray areas don't work when lots of money is at stake.
