Partisans in WW2 Yugoslavia were successful in mountainous parts of country, where you can hide after guerilla actions. Flatlands and big cities were liberated only when Red Army came along on its way to Berlin.

We’re not talking about fighting only. There has to be a local support for guerilla to eat and sleep. That might work in primarily agricultural countriside but not in cities built around industry.
Because nothing says "stick it to the man" like taking away the ability of freelancers to earn their measly income.

We have multiple generations growing up with suburbs as the norm and have never traveled outside North America. As the saying goes: "Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness". It's basically impossible to change urban design here.

Exactly. I don't buy the current narrative in the media that Putin had 'expected to take over Kiev in a matter of days'. Urban warfare is a nightmare, unless the defender surrenders voluntarily there is no other way to win than to completely destroy the city.
The skin cancer + flight attendant connection has to be due to white people working in the industry. People tend to fly to places with plenty of sun and warm climates. Australia's skin cancer rates are also very high, although not so much among the aboriginal population.
Maintenance needs to be done on Russian airports in any case. That's significantly more expensive now in the best case, impossible in the worst.
Not OP but I have exclusively used Safari since the first version and recently switched to Firefox, and the password manager not being able to use iCloud Keychain is really a major bummer.

For such a long time Firefox didn't take being a native Mac OS citizen seriously, with scrolling not being natively implemented, form fields feeling "off" and in general just feeling like a Windows app in a Cocoa window.

Luckily those days are long gone now, and Firefox now feels much more like a native app, save for a couple of dialog boxes here and there. But having used iCloud Keychain for such a long time, and there being no option to import my 500+ passwords, it really has been a pain in the ass to switch browsers.

Just because Russia has no qualms about committing war crimes and slaughtering civilians doesn't mean we can't be outraged by this. Outrage about killing civilians is entirely justified.
> NATO membership is entirely voluntary.

Yes and Russia doesn't deny that either. The request was for NATO to stop allowing countries like Ukraine to volunteer. Is that unfair ? Yes, it is a bully move. But that was the bully's request, and the West's stance is, effectively, we don't negotiate with terrorists. It's the attitude of: whatever, we do whatever we want.
That's also fair, but don't be surprised why Russia proceeded, because they can have the same sentiment: whatever, we do whatever we want. The magnitude of recklessness is outsized, but the direction is the same.
It is not due to cost, but profit. In the US the hospital makes more money if you get sedated. So why not offer, or even push it?
Does capacity here mean max output during best conditions or average over an year?

Yep -- superb work and it makes it much more concrete.

I was (maybe quite unusually for a CS degree at the time) taught about JPEG compression in 94/95; I've carried a sort of bare-minimum working knowledge of how it works along with me through web development and semi-pro photography, and it can be quite useful knowledge (e.g. when optimising "retina" images for the web).

But I'd have loved an interactive tool like this at the time, because it is not the easiest thing to absorb.

Total power generation capacity in the US is about 1 TW, so it's around 5%. That doesn't seem extremely low to me for one year.
Could you give context on whether this is an objective source, reflects the sentiment of the Eastern European people, or propaganda?
Do you have any sources (anecdotal or otherwise) of this power actually being used?
This is a good point. Service costs for Teslas are outrageous. Though, to be fair, Teslas appear to require far less servicing. Because of this, I've seen estimates that they actually end up costing around the same as gas cars, annualised. People are going to have to think very hard about the servicing costs when they purchase cars in future, because that cost is often extremely opaque. I don't have much faith that the average consumer will consider this at all. If so, it's very easy to imagine a future in which the upfront cost of EVs is below manufacturing cost, but the ongoing subscriptions and servicing are where manufacturers make their profit.
> Russia's biggest source of income is their export of gas and oil. These are not sanctioned, the West is buying as much as ever and the profits are flowing straight into Putin's war chest.

Getting paid dollars for oil and gas doesn't do you much good when you can't spend those dollars on anything. Imports into Russia have stopped over the past week.

> How do you know this?

The propaganda leading up to the 'Minor peacekeeping action in the Donbass' certainly didn't sound like he was getting everyone ready for a forever-war.

> e.g. in Chechnya

To most Russians - even the warhawks, the war in Chechnya (much like the Winter War of 1939) was seen as a debacle and an utter embarrassment.

I mean, it's entirely possible that the war will end this week, and my second point is moot. But it's looking like it's quite possible that it won't.
After some googling I found a few studies that seem to show an increased risk for pilots as well, particularly skin cancer. I think the increased risk of skin cancer is interesting since that would (layman's speculation) probably be the most affected by radiation.

I've had a colonoscopy and yeah: it's a nothing procedure. You're anesthetized for it and there's no recovery period so its just been and done. You also feel great afterwards from the prep medicine (at least I did).

Tamriel Rebuilt: Deadric Designs
Actually, djbsort [1] uses a similar trick to sort two integers in constant time:

int32_t ab = b ^ a;
int32_t c = b - a;
c ^= ab & (c ^ b);
c >>= 31;
c &= ab;
a ^= c;
b ^= c;

How it works is that if b < a we initially have that c = b - a is negative, and non-negative otherwise, if it were a 33-bit integer. We can then use an arithmetic shift right to spread the top sign bit, creating a mask that is all 1s when b < a and 0s otherwise. However it isn't 33-bit, so we have to detect overflow.

If both a and b are non-negative or both negative, there was no overflow. So only if the top bit of both was different (indicating different signs and thus potentially overflow), and the top bit of the result differs from b (since if the signs of a and b differ, the sign of b is our desired result), we flip the top bit of our result. That is the role of the mysterious line c ^= ab & (c ^ b);.

We then as mentioned before do an arithmetic right shift to spread the top bit into the entirety of c, creating a mask. We filter this mask using c &= ab to only contain ones on the positions where a and b differ in bits. Finally we toggle those bit positions by XORing both a and b with the mask, swapping their values if they're out of order, and leaving them unchanged otherwise.

Probably an oversight on your part, but I would argue would be elegant to disclose you are one of the co-founders.
Street Fighting Mathematics.

It's still a bit much to absorb, but you can't really ever say the author didn't attempt to describe each lesson in real world terms. You memorize or learn to graphically/logically derive a few things, like how log(1+x)≈x for small x or how you can sorta guess for most quantities or plots. (One book example figures the data capacity of a CD if you know its music storage using informed guessing of each conversion factor from seconds of music to bits.)

As another example: powers of cos x from -pi/2 to pi/2... you can sketch cos x and then roughly sketch the second power, and then it's clear that the more times you do that, you get a bit more of a bell curve. One in the middle will always stay one in the middle, but you get less area with each iteration as the rest of the function approaches zero. If you wanted an integral, you eyeball where the plot is at 0.5, draw a full-height rectangle from the left 0.5 value and the right 0.5 value. Because the height is 1, the width is pretty close to the true area. You can decide at this point---if you want more precision---to visually guess if the tails or the main part of the function should have more area and adjust your answer.

There's an Open Access PDF at https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/street-fighting-mathematics

There were lecture videos on MIT's Open Learning Library (and somewhere else before that), but they're currently down.

I don't think it's possible to divorce "proof" and "application" as cleanly as you'd like.

For instance, let's take a very common "application" of statistic: given a test that has false positive probability p, you can apply the test n times, and the false positive rate of the composite test is p^n. (For e.g. this is used to analyze bloom filters, or the Miller–Rabin primality test, or hash tables). However this is only true if the tests are independent. If you have to apply this result to analyzing (for e.g.) some new data structure you wrote, you'd first have to prove that the tests are independent. And maybe it's just me, but I find that if I use heuristics to check if some events are independent, I really often get it wrong.

Another example: the uniform limit theorem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_limit_theorem) is quite useful, but to properly apply it, you have to understand the difference between uniform convergence and pointwise convergence, and maybe it's just me, but I found the difference very unintuitive when I first encountered them (in a standard proofs-based analysis class). Even now, if you gave me some random series of functions, I can't really imagine using heuristics to check it uniformly converges to its pointwise limit, I'd want to try to write down a proof to be sure. So this useful tool is gated behind understanding some (to me) subtle proofs.
> as well as services like Liveuamap that are designed to help people find information. We expanded eligibility for Project Shield, our free protection against DDoS attacks

Really nice that they're doing that. I had noticed Liveuamap giving lots of 5* error codes earlier in the invasion, for obvious reasons, but now it looks like it works pretty well. Again, good job from the people of Google (I usually am very critic about them).
When I was younger, I thought like you did. Now that I get older, the value of culture and an understanding of where it came from, how it developed, makes my life just so much richer. That does not necessarily mean that I need to have memorised the whole corpus of Shakespeare, but understanding a reference when it comes around is adding more layers of meaning to other works.

This does not only extend to literature. I have had similar experiences with religion (which I thought of as utterly useless and potentially dangerous, as it "deactivates critical thinking and creates sheep-people which will follow whatever their shepherd/priest/guru tells them"), creative arts (both painting as well as music), and the basic sciences (biology, chemistry, physics).

Now, I don't genetically engineer the stuff in my garden, but understanding Mendel was useful. I don't speak in iambic pentameters, but I can appreciate when it is being used as a stylistic choice. I am in no way a church-going, devout Christian, but I have found meaning in some of the deeper wisdom enshrined in the Bible (and the Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita, and about half a dozen Sutras.)

Would I have come to that if I didn't have primers in school? Maybe. But the primers certainly helped.

On the other hand, I didn't learn plumbing in school, or laying electrical wires, or "doing my taxes", but these are things I can simply have someone do for me who is a lot better equipped and trained to do so, or - for the small stuff - I can figure them out on the fly.
The framework I use to make important life decisions is a simple one.

I have difficulties to understand opinions that tolerates child pornography. and while it is without doubt a problem, I think it would be pointing at a tree to hide the forest to discuss illegal pornographic content.
what's more at stake is divergent thoughts that are curtailed by opinionated (if not politicised) authorities.
Law enforcements would remain active in prosecuting illegal content publishers.
this thread more specifically touches on freedom for consumers to pull DRM content somewhat gated behind official clients, and the war between copyright holders and the conscious consumers. an alternative to YouTube where publishers and viewers can more freely operate is undoubtedly a step forward, and the collateral potential consequences don't outweigh the benefits.

I don't think unrealistic dreams have to lead to regrets. I have a dream home, and I don't think I'll ever build it, and that's fine. I like occasionally thinking of my dream home, it makes me happy, and I don't need to actually have it become a real home.

Since it's just a dream, I don't have to worry about where to build it, or if the things I dream about are practical, and I don't have to worry about any trade-offs, since it's just a dream.

Even if I had a million dollars, and I could afford to build it, who knows if it would even work? There's a reason why real life houses don't look like my dream home, and I assume it's because of some things that I'm not thinking about when fantasising about my dream house.

So, I'm perfectly happy with having unfulfilled dreams.
I wonder, how many claiming preference for VS Code vs Xcode (yes, it is spelled like this) have actually used Xcode, not only heard about it.
I believe it doesn't exactly work this way; because the initial driver of the inflation was someone (let's say the landlord in your example) raised their prices. Yes everyone else should raise their prices to adapt, but it's not everyone.

One can argue that the higher prices (eg by landlords) were due to increased demand with supply that couldn't keep up. Still, this doesn't mean that they are permanent, since supply can improve, or demand can return to normal, stopping the inflationary cycle. If you assume that demand cannot go down (eg for high perf chips, not land, which more and more industries utilise now), then I can't think of a reason that supply can't go up in the long term (unless the supplier is profiteering).

You consider 1 in 500 high? That's only 0.2%. At that rate, assuming the probability of complication for each procedure is independent from all the others, you could undergo the procedure 20 times with only about a 4% chance of complication. Since the American Cancer Society only recommends colonoscopy every 10 years, starting at age 45, most people wouldn't even have 5 procedures done in a lifetime, which would give about a 1% cumulative chance of complication.

The whole essay is very much a history and exploration of the significance of plants in homes. To reduce it to “overstating for identity politics points” is to do a disservice to the writing, at least in my opinion.

From the next paragraph after:

> “Are those stereotypes fair? No! Do they nonetheless undergird how we think of plants in the home in this moment? Yes!”

The author is overstating stereotypes for comic effect / hyperbole. I don’t think she’s literally claiming that men are being seen as feminine just for having plants. Just that stereotypes around plant ownership do exist and do subtly affect the way we talk about these things — as they do many areas of human life!
