The book (one of my favourites) is a little diffrent. There the perspective is that of the mobile infantist. The classic hero arc but in a fashist world. Like in the movie, there is no enlightenment or revolution though, just the story of a regular directionless Joe who finds his true self and a purpose in life in the Mobile Infantry.

The movie is brilliant in a diffrent way. It's basically satire on all levels. Paul Verhoeven claimed he hated the book and didn't finish it.

Except it’s just totally incorrect to think that oligarchs have any degree of control over the situation and any meaningful access to Putin. The relation is reversed, he was the kingmaker and have been controling them fully for quite a while now.

The only force that can stop him is army now and I reeeally don’t think this is what any of the sides (except them) would want because it’s them who pushed him or at least helped him to start the war, obviously. We don’t want another Myanmar, but 100x in size and with a bunch of nuclear warheads.

Not sure about bagels (could just be tradition), though, for example, the Brezen* shape achieves a contrast between crunchy and soft with its shape. Also makes it quite hard and impractical to spread stuff on it (which leads to some just cutting open the large soft part and spreading stuff there which is horrific and wrong), but it’s worth it.

Spreadability of stuff on something isn’t the only relevant factor.

Yes, unfortunately WSGI is "broken by specification" in that all path parts are decoded before passing to the underlying application.
This doesn't crop up that often, but some schemes are completely broken by it, for example DOI, which can have parts like "10.1002/0470841559.ch1", and normalising the whole uri in one go will break. Path parts need to be normalised individually.

Edit: typo, replace 'design' with specification. Its not intended, probably, but a conforming implementation must implement something that cannot work with certain paths.

I think it can be compared to e.g. The Irish learning Gaelic. It's part of the identity for some and spoken in the west of the island by a few. The government invests in keeping the heritage alive and you see it e.g. in how names are written. But many Irish don't speak a word of Gaelic without feeling less Irish as a result.
Ukrainian is a bit like that except it's easier to learn if you already speak Russian.

> I believe the fastest way out for Ukraine is to give Russia a guarantee that it will not pursue NATO membership (I understand this is all that Russia wants and has been asking since the 2014 coup that removed the Pro-Russia government),

It is not all Russia wants.

Russia has overtly states that the aim of their “special military operation” is to demilitarize Ukraine as well as to denazify it's government (which they describe as Nazis). So, openly, they want to disarm Ukraine and purge it's government of those Russia finds politically unacceptable.

They’ve also stated that Ukraine has no legitimacy as a state or even ethnic identity, that Ukrainians are Russia and Ukraine is stolen Russian territory, and Russian state media prematurely published and then silently deleted a victory announcement announcing that, with the liberation of Ukraine a new all-Russias union state of Russia (“Great Russia”), Ukraine (“Little Russia”), and Belarus, so it seems likely than the overt demilitarize and purge objective is, well, not the whole story.
Yes, it is. Russia wants to squash Ukraine out of existence. He’s going out of his way to get rid of the Ukrainian language and culture.

For him, Ukraine is a part of Russia, and its independence and own culture is a threat to Russia.

What is your argument that this isn’t genocidal, by definition?

"Swiss neutrality" is its own "thing" its not the same as "military neutrality" its a very broad concept that does include military neutrality but many more things that aren't part of the dictionary definition of the word "neutrality". I would point you to the wiki article that explains it but its very bad.

Anyway the overall conclusion people get when reading the statement that neutral countries DESPITE being neural joined sanctions (picked a side/no longer neutral) and that is wrong especially in case of Switzerland.

Its not semantics its factually wrong because if there would be an attempt to connect "Swiss neutrality" to the sanctions it would be the other way around. I.e. to stay true to the concept Switzerland would have to join sanctions because other wise it could be used to circumvent the sanctions from others which then could theoretically interfere with the idea behind Swiss neutrality especially if Switzerland or companies there would profit from this.

>The problem you describe is one Wikipedia suffers from. If the conventional wisdom is wrong then Wikipedia will be wrong. And it will never be the first declare the conventional wisdom was wrong, the majority needs to change their mind before it will.

Indeed but its not just that, even if something is know (or known to be wrong) if no one in the accepted sources group actually explicitly write it out then there is no source and you can not add it to Wikipedia.
The Wikipedia editors also like to write X as if it is a fact then if the is a source opposing it they write the opposition as a quote from the given author or source.

While I do agree Putin's speech was based on flimsy excuses, the actual trigger of the war was the West's refusal to accept Russian terms in their ultimatum[1], which you seem to have forgotten, which only asked one thing of Ukraine: to abandon plans to join NATO.

Not really. Civilians are certainly affected by sanctions. But government itself, oligarches, people with power are affected much more.

I feel the deeper thing that's going on is that you're objectifying the other side. By turning them into an object, you strip others of their humanity. You then setup a relationship in which you can rationalize doing all sorts of bad things. Not sure that "objectifying" is the right word here though.

I'd be really curious to know how long it actually took Norvig to write the spell checker. It seems like such a simple idea and piece of code after you've read it but he suggests it took him a transcontinental flight worth of time.

That, to me, is surprising in a potentially interesting way. Knowing that an expert like Norvig might still take hours to write such a seemingly simple program suggests the problem is harder than it appears in retrospect.

That’s because technically you can’t escape them:

* CSV only supports one data type: string. Thus formulas are just strings processed as code by some applications based on the content of that string

* CSV doesn’t support character escaping. Everything is supposed to be read unescaped. Even new lines are literal new lines. There no support for C-style escaping. If you need to have control characters then you wrap your string in quotation marks (and the fact that quotation marks are option leads to another class of bugs). If you need quotation marks inside your quotation marks then you double up the punctuation marks (ie to print “ inside “” then your string would look like

“Bob said “”hello”””

I don't care what you think it means because your opinion on this matter is wordless. My point which you don't seem to get is that the media should report honestly, then opinion men like you can jump the gun and say nuclear. It's not the media's job to do that.

Deterrence isn't synonymous to nuclear why do I have to explain this. If you aim normal missiles to someone that's deterrence too.
What reading about Enterprise sales has not prepared me for is months-long legal negotiations, and there is very little writing on this topic out there.

Whereas you can pretty much agree to any terms that don’t misrepresent how your product works when you’re just starting out, there comes the point of wanting to spend a lot more scrutiny on your contracts without having in-house legal yet.

If you’re a founder, that probably means you will be sending redlines, thinking about indemnities and warranties and handling other wonderful aspects of doing business internationally (privacy terms, jurisdiction, insurance, …).

While true that price discrimination helps to make these cases mostly worth it, they are still a crazy time suck and finding a savvy lawyer to take it off your hands may or may not be easily possible (lawyer fees for one such deal once ended up being 50% of the whole deal value - we raised enterprise prices after that).

Watch out especially when you’re in an industry going through lots of M&A activity as your self-service customers may suddenly be part of large Fortune 500 organizations, and despite all advice to the contrary, stakeholders who know your pricing already do balk at your 5-10x Enterprise prices.

I do wish there were more stories of how the legal side of these deals is dealt with, what sticking points in contracts take up most of your time, and what „hacks“ you found.

(One hack that saved me a lot of time: Treat your terms like you would any other part of your product. Iterate, work on the UX, remove barriers to adoption. After a bunch of gnarly negotiations over things that matter to your client, but not usually to you I compiled a list of changes and had our lawyer revise the terms to avoid the need to negotiate those parts moving forward. Alas, it’s a moving target and we’re in the midst of another iteration like this.)
Its exactly the other way around the sanctions of others pushed them in a non-neutral position where they would allow Russia to circumvent sanctions through Switzerland and Switzerland would profit from this war. THAT is the reason why they joined the sanctions not to "take sides" but to stay neutral according to the Swiss neutrality principle which is not some kind of banal neutrality people think it is that basically assumes Switzerland just pretends nothing happens if its outside their border. That would be ignorance not neutrality.

> the actual trigger of the war was the West's refusal to accept Russian terms in their ultimatum

The actual trigger of the war was Putin’s order to invade. The list of demands issued to the West prior wasn't even cited as a pretext for the special military operation when it was announced, though it had some conceptual overlap with a subset of the very long lost of grievances and excuses cited in the announcement of the “special military operation”.

> which only asked one thing of Ukraine: to abandon plans to join NATO.

This is true in a sense: the only thing the ultimatum demanded of Ukraine was that it be permanently prohibited from entering NATO. BUT it also demanded of NATO that it be permanently banned from any further expansion, that it withdraw all troops and equipment from all countries that joined NATO after 1997 (which is a weird date, as no countries were admitted to NATO between 1990 and 1999, so it really means 1990), and that it be banned from holding drills in Ukraine, Eastern Europe, or the Caucasus without advance permission from Russia.

While the invasion was targeted at Ukraine, the ultimatum was targeted at NATO, and specifically at removing it's capacity to interfere should Russia choose to invade, or threaten to invade as a means of dictating internal policies, it's neighbors (including existing NATO members) in the future.
Yesterday, I have read in russian independent newspaper in a live feed that woman was arrested and charged with organizing a protest, after posting on Twitter "Let's go and take a walk on the main square".

This can of course be fake, but if true, then having SMS like that could lead to being questioned in the very least.

If you want to encourage the protesters and give them words of support then text of the message is wrong, those people already know that press is twisting the facts. They do read foreign media, while they still can, but Russia has been conducting exercises on cutting their internet segment from the rest of the internet since 2018, so at any moment they can just flip the switch.

You are correct the broadcasts were not wrong, people were eager for that information, but it was discussed mostly in private and with close friends only.

Other issue is that SMS spam is really bad in Russia so likelihood of that message being taken seriously is quite small, especially with official media saying that West is waging information war. So message with content about mainstream media lying received by a supporter would probably not have the impact you would imagine. Bringing some facts that would cause people to investigate further would go a lot better in my opinion.
