I agree with all points in comment and would add:

- frameworks forcing updates is good, your custom code still having that XSS for 20 years you don't even know is liability not a "saving of money"

- frameworks are bringing XSS protections, navigation fixes, do a lot of things better than would be done by random devs from scratch

- loosing skills is just Plato saying "if kids start writing things down, their memory will deteriorate" or people who pride in writing SQL by hand that ORMs are bad and I saw enough of "proud SQL writers" making more problems for the project than helping and I still know how to write SQL and the same I could use JavaScript browser API by reading some documentation if I need to
The US doesn't pick a flight.

The US says: "You're not welcome, you have XX hours to leave the country". The diplomatic personnel have to figure out their own ride home. Normally that's fine (private charter flight, commercial, whatever), but in this case there are few (no?) flights to Russia, and the Russian's can't fly there due to airspace restrictions.

So in this case, Russia asked for a special exemption to the US airspace restriction so it could get its personnel out. The US said "fine", and the Russians are flying the IL-96 in to pick up its personnel
I wonder if the rail line is under used therefore investment can’t be justified therefore it’s not all that capable. I don’t know the geography on the ground, probably a lot of level crossings, but what of it could be sped up, run trains closer together?
I am not from Russia, but have a lot of friends and relatives there.

In my circles everyone below 40 years of age is strongly anti-regime. Especially below 30. Many of them have left the country (everyone who could basically, and one has bought the ticket and is waiting to leave soon).

Above that age group it's hit or miss, and depends whether or not the person in question watches television and bothers to read one of the few remaining independent news outlets.

Pretty much everybody above 60 strongly believes in whatever bullshit Putin is saying this week. Although there is one exception that I know of.
Nobody said it would be easy.
Except hostilities werent ended in 2014 and the Ukrainian government was pretty explicit that they didnt like the minsk protocol and didnt particularly feel obliged to adhere to it. So they didnt and the war continued for another 8 years.

The point is we DIDNT try adhering to minsk, zelensky decided he 100% wanted to be NATO rather than neutral and NOW look where we are.

A bit of decentralization, some restored Russian language rights and a promise for NATO to back off would ALL have been easier.

>What happens when he comes for the rest of Ukraine in another 8 years, or Moldova?

How exactly does neutral make that happen?

What happens when NATO tries to do to Russia what it did to Libya?
Native German language.

Learned English through early exposure to computer stuff, later enhanced by learning the grammar from school and becoming fluent by watching English language movies, books, and using it on Usenet and IRC.

One side of my family has some Italian background but unfortunately it didn't reach me and then 4 years of Italian in school left me with some very basic level knowledge. But I'm currently trying to improve that with Duolingo and Italian language subreddits.

7 years of French with (again unfortunately) 3 different terrible teacher. Can't even order a coffee in French.

7 years of Latin. Basically no fluency :-) but I still retain some reading skills. It was by far the best foreign language education I had. In hindsight, I find it surprising that no other class taught you almost no history or culture of the particular language.

With Latin classes I learned so much about history, culture and literature, even if I forgot every bit of Latin words and grammar, it still would have been worthwhile.
Ok, I’m dumb. Could someone explain why free-market principles aren’t working here? If product isn’t moving, it seems that those who could move product would be worth more and could charge more.
Looking at the parent run, my first thought was that its initial guess is a relatively uncommon word and is (I assume) probably not a very good choice as an initial guess. There are various lists of the best starting words in order going around. I wonder if you could get to the best results by picking the highest ranked word consistent with the other lines?
I tried that in a single game with a friend's Octordle result. You have to solve it yourself first, then work out their initial guesses. Here's my solution to today's Octordle:

O = incorrect (white)

I would expect there to be a divide between Russians who were old enough to experience the full effect of the chaos and privation following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, and those who came of age later.

In the US, where I live, we also have tension between the generations, but it has more to do with changing demographics. There's nothing comparable to what Russians experienced when the Soviet Union fell.

Tensions between generations are probably the rule rather than the exception, at least over the last few hundred years of rapid change.
I wonder if the whole egg eaters also ate more bacon?
It has that, it just never became widely used and has some drawbacks.

Ex-Fox News Producer Broke Law with Work for Russian Oligarch, U.S. Says
>But it’s important to note that we haven’t chosen this government, we haven’t chosen this country we live in.

From my perspective this is the only meaningful change you can make. If my government ever starts getting in my way too much I'll find another one. Voting with my feet literally. We have this luxury as in-demand professionals. Kind of hard for me to empathize with Russian developers when they had decades to make this move, it's not like everything changed a few weeks ago.
The amount of Russian propaganda in these comments are crazy.
I love it, thanks for sharing. Is the confidence a percentage? How is it determined?
We're still living in the tail-end of the second world war, which was a continuation of the first world war. Let's hope this does not end up being known as "the second interbellum" [1] and that Europe learns to stand on its own feet when it comes to defence so it can withstand whatever comes at it from the (far) east as well as from the west. Let's also hope that this does not end up as yet another attempt at creating what would now be the "Fourth Reich". The same factors which made Europe the cradle of modern civilisation also make it into a belligerent place filled with both bright people as well as big ideas. This is a volatile combination.

Why would two million people shaking keys be more impactful than the sanctions that have already devastated Russia's economy?

I don't particularly disagree with your stance, but I'm not convinced Russian protests will change anything more than external protests via sanctions have.

I still agree that Russians should be protesting anyway. Ukrainians are literally bleeding to death in their streets for Russian aggression, and anybody in Russia today should be protesting unless they support that.
Hear hear. We have zero problems not using web frameworks for our SPAs. Just a couple of libs and we write web components here and there to solve particular tasks when needed.

Using the power of modern JS I fail to see the value of things like React. Maybe it has for the orgs of FB size but I do not operate at that level.

My backends are semi-stateful C++ servers with no frameworks either. Just some libs and std.
Your regular reminder that anyone can post on Seeking Alpha.
>The same can be said, probably to a lesser extent, about most of us living outside of Russia - if we bought things coming from Russia or didn't criticize Russia, we supported Putin in a similar way. Though it could be argued we, non-russian citizens don't have the responsibility for russian government's actions...

If that's the threshold for responsibility then that's barely scratching the surface. Western banks have profited from the enabling and corruption of oligarchs by laundering their assets with impunity for decades. Corporations like Cisco had no problem doing technology transfers for surveillance technology that now makes opposing so dangerous. German politicians gutted their nuclear energy/energy security in the name of going green. European politicians have pushed an agenda of appeasement in the name of moral relativism and "stakeholder capitalism". This is a crescendo that has been building for decades at the benefit of Westerners and the expense of normal Eastern Bloc people.
Well nobody is throwing Russians into jail either (except maybe for Putin). But I would argue that refusing to do business with Putin supporters is also part of personal freedom.
I also would like to express my appreciation for the post and hope the Author will see this comment. Thanks!
We (Ukrainians) believed Russians once, in Ilovaisk. Of course, we will not believe them second time. Our government sends notices to citizens to not trust Russian promises about evacuation or green corridors.

Because of Ilovaisk tragedy, «green corridor» now has meaning of death threat, e.g. «we will make green corridors for Russians» means «we will fool Russians and then kill them», not a promise of a safe escape.

When Russians says that they will open a green corridor for us again, everyone is flies from them.
> Now the month-old potatoes are green and have little sprouts growing out of them.

The month old potatoes do not change colour. If they are green than they were green before. They are safe to eat if you remove the green part (which is sour). Sprouts are ok, you just need to remove them and when they are grown it is pretty hard.
Basically at the end you need a completely yellow potato to have something edible.

A plane is not a satellite. You need to constantly expend energy to keep it in the air. The more weight is on the plane, the more lift you need. To get a bigger lift, you need to angle the control surfaces steeper, which increases drag.

Therefore transporting heavy things by air (like fuel) is extremely inefficient.
I mean growing up in a third world country we did have a grandma’s knowledge kind of a thing about sprouted potatoes and avoiding them if it’s sprouted quite a bit. However we also were taught to remove the “eyes” and the side of the potato that’s turned green and the rest is completely edible. I’ve been doing this for decades and haven’t been even remotely sick even once.
No. It's a local rural ISP. I don't think they're particularly competent.
Wait, what’s the problem with people not knowing things that they don’t need to know? This just comes across as being bitter that self taught people exist, or that other people are somehow encroaching on your field.
So instead of doing that we should just make the whole internet 4chan?

No it won't, not in meaningful numbers. Most people don't want that kind of garbage in their feeds. If they did 4chan would be more popular than Twitter.

Most people don't want to have disgusting, antidemocratic viewpoints forced on them by social
media. They want to not see that stuff.
It originated as a consequence of a burgeoning free media environment due to the proliferation of smart phones and the internet. The younger generations, with their higher level of fluid intelligence, are able to approach things with better critical thinking and navigating the complexities of the internet world. The older generations aren't able to adapt and are sitting ducks for being easily manipulated by technology they don't understand.
In general iced is awesome, but in my case it's a little bit cumbersome, as I just replaced my own UI with iced, so my whole project is its own thing and iced is just weirdly tack onto it, but if you start from the ground up and write the project with iced in mind you will most likely be happy with it.

As for iced + wgpu combo you also should be happy with it, and I'm making sure that iced is always up to date with the latest wgpu updates, so you don't have to worry that iced will hold you back when updating wgpu.
It’s mainly the « stupid » part I’m questioning.

Yeah, that's exactly what Putin built his whole career out of. It's mostly a myth (because the country was helped out of its troubles by high oil prices), and it's especially ironic now that the same person is pushing the country back into the 90s at full speed.
Isolation, better observation of the heavens, doubles as a rookery for sending and receiving grim tidings, proximity to the dungeons and/or tower prisoners in case you need a research spec-*ahem* volunteer.

I send or get a “Can you zoom for 5min” SMS 4-5 times a week with my closest team members. I agree, this does establish a sense of immediacy and collaboration which the formality of scheduled meetings lack.

When we worked in the same office, the walk-in frequency was about the same.

Unless the framework backports fixes (both bugs and CVEs) to the major version line you're using, you're forced to upgrade the framework to a newer major version line for the framework's sake, not the "build tools". And that upgrade will bring in all the other API changes that have happened in the new major version line.
It's been a couple decades since I had a need for PL/I. Mostly I used Assembler for working with the operating system and channel programming.

PL/M last I looked was not allowed outside IBM development labs, but I see a bunch of stuff coded in PL/M. My impression is that it's basically a bunch of macros wrapped around Assembler instructions in a common quest to eliminate branch instructions.

But remember that every IF and loop is implemented with branches under the covers.
Lots of NGOs and bad actors. Speaking of which looks at this post by Edward Norton!

Banning Russia from international institutions, strategies such as providing lethal aid to Ukraine, destabilizing neighboring country Belarus, PysOps to damage internal credibility. [1]

What happened to: http://veri.org/writing ?
Yes, that is why it wasn't done, despite all cruelties against Ukrainians. One could argue, that as long as Russian troups are only engaged over Ukraine it is something different, but I think it is wise not to push this so far. But the other side is: if NATO wanted, they could have a no-fly zone over Ukraine any time.
As native Spanish speaker, I confirm the closeness to Italian and Portuguese. Particularly in scientific literature, I can read words in Italian/Portuguese and the sound I hear in my head is in Spanish. Other than that I speak French and English, although it doesn't feel that much of an accomplishment given that all the aforementioned stem from Latin.

As an aside, I don't consider German to be a language I speak or even understand perfectly when I hear it, but being equipped with all those languages reading papers in German is a walk in the park.
I have made this comparison in other comments, I see this conflict as a repetition of the Cuban Missile Crisis. If you are convinced that nuclear weapons will not be used for a first strike and if you - as the USA - are committed to not perform a first strike on the USSR, then there is no risk from USSR missiles on Cuba. But the USA didn't like the idea, so either they were not convinced that the USSR would not perform a first strike despite the dire consequences or they were not committed to not perform a first strike and feared the retaliations.

And whatever consideration made the USA not like the idea of nuclear missiles close to their border, the same considerations may make Putin dislike its neighbors become NATO members. And this was just ignored. This seems, at least in my opinion, a much better and more rational explanation than some vague ideas of what Putin might be thinking. At it perfectly aligns with his actions in the past. In 2008 Ukraine and Georgia started the process of becoming NATO members in Georgia was promptly attacked. The Ukraine under Yanukovych no longer really pursued a NATO membership until 2014, then this became again more and more a priority and Russia reacted with Crimea, eastern Ukraine and now this. In reaction Sweden and Finnland consider a NATO membership and Putin immediately reacts with a warning.
That's not how it works in Russia. Say, you film Russian soldiers shooting Ukrainian civilians. Plenty of videos of that. You post it on Youtube with an accurate description. The Ministry of Truth calls their henchmen to bring you to face the court. They ask you - what is this? You tell them - I filmed it myself, it's all true. OK, but can you prove it's Russian soldiers and not Ukrainian dressed as Russian? You: ... Them: OK, enjoy your 15 years.

You can't prove anything based on physical evidence if you dig deep enough. Anything can have an alternative explanation, however unlikely. Aliens, quantum fluctuations, you name it.
Yeah, it’s unreasonable to expect everybody in a corrupt regime to sacrifice their life to stop it. At least Russia is not stopping them from leaving.

These Russians leaving their country is still a “vote with your feet” type of play. It hurts the regime of Russia to have professionals leave, especially since the people who leave are more likely to be more skilled. It’s better than doing nothing at all.
> Even if Ukraine were to become a part of the EU and NATO, all that happens is the problem is postponed. At some point the West will impose sanctions on Russia anyway, regardless of an invasion, because Russia is an obstacle to Globalization.

Yet Russia hasn't just been self isolating. It has demonstrated a thirst for influence outside its borders. And has been behaving much like the USSR before it, just with less success and the appearance of some democratic process like elections.

EU and NATO countries are trying to strike a different balance between nation sovereignty and economic power.

At one point Putin apparently wanted to join NATO. Though I doubt because of shared values or mutual defense against aggression.
I have lots of family there, some of them took bullets in that war. I’d say it’s mostly the death of Tito who caused this breakup. And the schismatic history.
They don’t blame nato or Russia for that.
In 2014, after I’d just emigrated from Russia because of my opposition to the Crimea annexation, I bristled when Ukrainians told me the move didn’t erase my responsibility. I was sure I couldn’t have done anything to change the nature of the Russian regime. “You go fight Putin,” I snarled back at my Ukrainian accusers. “See where you get with that.” It fills me with shame to remember that now, because of course they are fighting him as I write this — and we didn’t really do so even when it wasn’t as dangerous as in the current climate of cruel suppression.

Given the dire situation and prospects for the future, doubling of the wheat prices is completely rational. Some countries are now also imposing export bans. [1] That won't stop price increases but at least they'll still have wheat and will be able to use it. Another crisis to keep an eye on is the global fertilizer shortage [2]. Near future looks pretty bleak.

Since you arent a sockpuppet and just new, do you really feel confident to have hit the right tone here, even after somebody gave you a heads up how a conversation is more likely to be fruitful?

You dont need to speak on behalf of OP to give you a heads up about a common problem with your approach, its pretty universal. Picture it this way, there is list of common problems which make a sensible discussion less likely. Which might be overlooked if you havent heard about it before. For example your sentences being too convoluted or having a bad structure. Another one of those is needlessly escalating a conversation.

That kind of boils down to what the aim of your post is. If its not aimed at having a fruitful engaging conversation that might proof your wrong, then you are either doing it for yourself or to set an atmosphere. Which is where the assumption of a sockpuppet comes from.

Differently put, what good does your post if its not aimed at getting somebody to engage in a meaningful way? And if that is your aim, you might want to take his advice, you generally get better results.

I find it hard to call this a good argument for why this is. If an appliance does not work out of the box, it is not finished and not ready to ship to customers.

The game industry does this, which is crap, but appliances are people use to cook their meals and should not be unfinished.

If you are right, it should be illegal.
I understand what you are saying but this is where citizens can obviously lobby their representatives to ban this practice and allow a category of goods to work without internet connections.

> Supervisor should've killed celery's forked workers once the parent dies. Either it is not reliable or we haven't been able to make this happen in at least a few attempts now.

Use systemd instead of supervisord for misbehaving forking daemons like this. If you set "KillMode=mixed" you get a nice compromise between "signal the parent and give things a configurable grace period to shut themselves down" and "zero risk of orphaned child (or stuck parent) processes being left around after service stop/restart".

Without weighing in on the systemd-vs-other-init debate in general, I do strongly believe that systemd fully obsoletes supervisord. The (slightly) tighter coupling supervisord offers with Python isn't worth the deficient feature set.
