I was asking the OP because I want to get an idea of what kind of articles they believe are evidence of the fact that Wikipedia is broken, not because I doubt that any such articles exist. Specifically to see what kind of angle they have. Once you report something like this to a forum like HN as being a serious enough problem that it warrants a discussion I think that party should bring their own evidence, because chances are they are just unable to push their own agenda on some pet subject. If I were to come to the conclusion that Wikipedia is broken and I'd post it to HN I would make sure to bring ample evidence.

That said, that article could certainly be improved on.

I have my own pet peeves about Wikipedia and even about some articles, but I don't think it is 'structurally broken', that requires a different level of evidence.
Imagine if every web page loaded this fast?

They used to have a formalized project aimed at improving this, but it seems that work on it stopped mid-2019. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Advanced_mobile_c... Their stated (as of 2019) workflow requires going to site settings and turning on a special "Advanced" interface in order to get something that's not broken. Awful.
I have another way to help, I am trying to find jobs for those who want to relocate, add your details at withpublic.com and we do our best to find a safer country and a job.
I would like to be polite to you here, but it's going to be hard, because this take is wrong at every single level, and it feels like you haven't tried any sort of critical thinking whatsoever:

1) NFTs are the most expensive, least efficient way to implement the least interesting part of this technology. Even if you accept the dubious premise that they do even that job well.

2) You have explicitly described a system in which every single agreement between devs would require special testing. Is the moonlight sword balanced in the other game? Don't I still have to describe literally every aspecet of the moonlight sword other than who owns it in the second game?

3) Skins and other microtransactions are per game, by an absolute law of their design. That is the point. A game developer has no interest in honoring a microtransaction that I can prove that I paid some other game developer for. I would want my cut.

4) The condition upon which you have proposed that people can acquire the moonlight sword is... for beating Elden Ring? So it's a sign of status. Except that it's a sign of status that I can sell, so it's actually just a signal of wealth or status, maybe? Maybe I can't sell it. But wait, why did I make it an NFT then. So I must be able to sell it, but then it is presumed to have a dollar value, so why wouldn't Fromsoft sell it in the first place. Sounds a lot like a regular microtransaction.

Which brings me to my final point.

5) The market for microtransactions is already very optimized. Videogames are already very good at extracting every penny that people are willing to pay for bullshit cosmetics and play to win garbage. You can't even make money hucking this shit.
Yes, webmaven is correct. Since DNA is made of triads of DNA letters in sequences that often occur in patterns, the odds of sequences being repeated is a lot lower.
Since the created protein is the result of thousands of these triads, that are subjected to complex folding rules that are little understood in detail - if you recall the huge AI driven computational task analysis to try and predict a particular folded protein's path to the end state in the search for a synthetic path.
This is much like finding a 3 inch bolt in a scrapyard and blaming it on the sinking of the Titanic because it also used 3 inch bolts. The pressure to publish is a powerful force, so they seek anything onto which to tie a link.
At least you can be an author there. I am for whatever reason geoblocked from writing anything (I never spammed, probably a country-wide block) and when I use VPN (either shared or my own instance) then I'm blocked again for potential spam because of, again, IP block (this time cloud provider or VPN IP).

I believe I can have a positive contribution to Wikipedia but they never allowed me to write, since like, 10 years.
You've said nothing but diversionary conservative talking points. You can't refute anyone's point, you're only able to muddy the water with willful ignorance.

> Nobody wants World War 3.

Small point but this isn't exactly true, especially among US policymakers and media people. All you need to do here is read the chorus of people in official / corporate media going "nuclear war would be bad, but [...]". You can also rewind to the enormous shit-fit Washington types threw last summer when Biden pulled out of Afghanistan, or go even further back to the Iraq war.

Washington is full of chickenhawk warmongers dying to send other people's children into battle, consequences be damned. It's the rare thing that is really bipartisan, too. A lot of people's careers depend on support for World War III, so they find a way to be okay with it.
AFAIK Air Serbia is still flying to Russia, and even doubled number of flights few days ago because of demand. I don’t know what’s the situation with visas, how long you can stay, how it is to open bank account, etc but historically Serbia is friendly towards Russia. Government does condemn Russia for this war, but I don’t think we’ll be implementing any kind of sanctions. Elections are in a month, and noone wants to loose votes of pro-russian part of population.

Ask HN: Software RFP / Development Request for Kids?
My kid has taken some interest in tech, and has asked me to help him build a website for one of his classes. This will be a great learning experiences for both of us, as I’ve been focused on more product planning than product development in my professional path.

That said, are there any resources available on working with kids to build software requirements (functional and non functional)? As well as learning some technical skills, I’d like to expose my kid to some of the planning aspects of a project like this.

Anything in the real of project planning that is oriented towards younger audiences is greatly appreciated!

> the vast majority of Russians are pro-Putin

Source? The latest western polls show his approval rating in the high 60s but you have to significantly discount that bc 1) the perceived danger of speaking out against the govt skews responses towards approval 2) those polls were done before the Ukrainian crisis
And using smaller airframes (because you can run smaller/lighter fuel tanks, along with lower drag) can add to those efficiency gains:

> the total fuel consumption of a 7,200 NM flight can be reduced by up to 15% by making an intermediate stop half way, while using conventional existing long-haul aircraft. When the aircraft is specifically designed for medium-range operations (such as e.g. the Airbus A300), the total fuel savings could increase to 27%.

From: "Evaluation of intermediate stop operations in long-haul flights"

NYC to Delhi is at 6400 NM.

It's definitely a better deal than those 300+ civilians and many more military whose lifes were lost, I am not gonna bloody argue about that.

And yet I don't like when people discount broken lifes of Russians who had to flee their country leaving everything behind. Both Ukranians and Russians are refugees in this case. One difference they may not experience is being afraid of passing strangers in a country they fled to.

So much suffering... Everything because of one crazy guy. As far as I've heard even most of Putin's generals were shocked by his decision to invade. I hope one of them can muster courage and get close enough...
The book The Light Ages by Seb Falk:

> In The Light Ages, Cambridge science historian Seb Falk takes us on an immersive tour of medieval science through the story of one fourteenth-century monk, John of Westwyk. From multiplying Roman numerals to navigating by the stars, curing disease, and telling time with an ancient astrolabe, we learn emerging science alongside Westwyk, while following the gripping story of the struggles and successes of an ordinary man in a precarious world. An enlightening history that argues that these times weren’t so dark after all, The Light Ages shows how medieval ideas continue to color how we see the world today.

and actual time for daily services:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liturgy_of_the_Hours

It should also be noted that for time periods measured over millennia, one may also keep in mind that there are subtle changes in the night sky because of the wobbling of the Earth on its axis of spin:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_precession

So that (e.g.) the North Star that we have today (Polaris) is not what not the same as in the past, and will change in the future:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_star

The Hoover Dam in the US actually makes use of this astronomical fact in a monument to indicate to possible future generations when it was built:

> But that point near Polaris, which we call the North Star, is actually slowly moving and tracing a circle through the night sky. While Polaris is our North Star, Hansen’s terrazzo floor points out that the North Star of the ancient Egyptians, as they built the great pyramids, was Thuban. And in about 12,000 years, our North Star will be Vega. The workings of this precession are best explained with an animation, as in figure 1. Here you can see how the axis of the earth traces a circle in the sky over the course of 25,772 years.

it does seem that way. i’d add that even with established technologies, a company should have a set way to do stuff that is trained internally. frameworks et al frequently have multiple strategies or you want to extend a framework primitive.
Clang's scan-build supports C++ for a long time already.

Regarding gcc/g++, there seems to be support only for C.
From https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DavidMalcolm/StaticAnalyzer:

> Initial implementation was added in GCC 10; major rewrite occurred in GCC 11.
> Only C is currently supported (I hope to support C++ in GCC 13, but it is out-of-scope for GCC 12)

Looking forward to seeing C++ support added to it!
Citation? Some quick googling suggests that if you want to become more jam resistant, you switch to phased arrays.

Which would be what intuitively makes sense to me, though I'm not an expert in phased arrays. If you have more gain straight up, then you must have less gain in other directions.

Afaik, Starlink phased arrays have very high gain (low beamwidth), so they must have proportionally lower gain in other directions, or else it wouldn't add up and you'd have overunity.
I mean sure he's planning to "seize all of Ukraine", but I don't think he wanted to make Ukraine a federal subject, at least originally. My theory was always that he wanted to capture Ukraine to force a very favourable (for him) peace agreement, install a loyal regime, keep Crimea, give independence to the Lugansk and Donetsk republics, with borders corresponding to the oblasts, and then leave. Possibly make the republics federal subjects of Russia.

The statehood threat actually strengthens my belief, it sounds like he will only annihilate Ukraine unless they give up soon. If he was planning to do that anyway, the threat makes less sense.

But of course I'm just guessing.
He does want to bring Russia back to glory. That's for sure. I think he doesn't want direct conflict with the USA. Like most bullies I think he feel happy about uneven war with small countries like Ukraine. I doubt he wants war with NATO.

It's a persecution complex that's very common in Russia. They're paranoid about western expansion. This has some historical merit to be fair.
"The west needs to find a way that he can spin as a "win" moving forward. Otherwise this might snowball."

I don't agree that we have to find a way for Putin to save face.

At some point there will be a coup d'etat, if the army and the oligarchs suffered too much.
I don't disagree with this. I'm saying that your original reply relies on nothing but insinuation.
Yeah, I know. I've just listed the facts what Russian television transmits everyday...
Another old'ish guy here, and I feel the same way.

I have done a few projects using Knockout and Angular, and I've used Svelte a little too. My conclusion is that SPAs definitely have their place - but that place is in the minority, mostly for web apps with complex UI/UX.

In SSR (Server-Side Rendered) projects (typically ASP.NET Core for me nowadays, but I've used others too), things are just so much simpler, with fewer moving parts. A sprinkling of JavaScript is all that's needed, and even then a lot is reusable between projects. And now IE has finally died, jQuery is no longer needed, and browser support for ES6 is good, even writing JavaScript is less miserable than it used to be.
Firstly, I would prefer if you didn't dictate what I should believe in and what I shouldn't. I'm fully capable of analysing the information that I have and form my own opinion and it's alright even if it turns out to be wrong.

Secondly, it was suppressed in the way that news media and Twitterati were labelling everyone considering this theory as a possibility to be racist because some racists they know also shared the same views.
> I get that Reddit don't want to be left out of the PR bandwagon

This is not good PR for reddit, whenever they make decisions like this the entire site erupts in revolt for a week or two. More likely, reddit thinks this is a good idea because it will reduce the spread of what the administrator's conider Russian disinformation. Acting to limit the spread of Russian disinformation has been a major effort for all the big social media sites since 2016, and this change seems inline with that pattern, just taken to an extreme that reflects the current extreme situation with Russia.
And what will be a clear indication?
To be fair, the sprouts look like worms crawling out of the potato. I guess it's a good thing we find them repulsive, since they're poisonous.
The sprouts probably trigger heuristics for avoiding food with fungus growing on it.
The purpose of sanctions is to persuade Russia to stop the war, not to get rid of Putin.

Even if some might want it to go further, it won't, because the coalition will not hold. If Putin stops the war and pulls back to pre-invasion boundaries, the group of countries imposing sanctions will not continue to hold out for Putin's ouster in addition.

An outright revolution by the Russian people is not necessary, though we might hope for unrest which degrades Russia's ability to wage war. The suffering of Russia's common citizens isn't desirable. But it can be justified, since Ukrainian citizens have it far worse.
Exactly.

If every Russian can see what an inconvenience it is to have Putin as a leader the hope is that they will be more inclined to do everything in their power to have him replaced. Some will of course just blame "west", but there will also be those who will come to question power.

> This became the slogan of the Marxist movement which rejected the prior socialist creed of to each according to their contribution.

So from my point of view, that slogan is a completely simplified description of what a communist society might look like. From what I know it was coined before Marx even wrote Kapital, which is the underlying basis of Marxism.

> If people's reward is independent of their contribution and instead a function of their needs then it incentivizes presenting oneself as the least capable

I can agree with that. However I think there are other interpretations of the phrase that might be more generous. In general, I think of a socialist mode of production as one in which production is for-use as opposed to for-profit/sale/exchange. Capitalists will say for-use/for-exchange are the same, socialists argue the two are distinct groups (with some obvious overlap). This is entirely compatible with some people being paid more than others.

> Adopting a victim mentality and presenting oneself as a victim of some kind is a fairly inexpensive way to maximize the receipt of ones needs while minimizing ones contribution.

We have that in increasing amounts today and our society looks about as far from a Marxist vision as anyone could imagine. So whether a society is based in Marxism or Liberalism seems to have very little bearing on victim mentality.

You could argue the victim mentality comes from academia and their bizarre interpretation of Marxism (ie "cultural Marxism") but the two things are similar in name only.

I think of Marxism as a critique of capitalism and absentee property norms. I don't think it has much intersection with people trying to get things for free by playing the victim.

> From the stories I've heard they'd use anything.

Good. There is enough food waste already. People are just overly sensitive.
Eh, I dunno about that. If I, say, flip over a chicken thigh and eat the kidney that's nestled on the back side (which can be found there depending on butchering method), seeing that organ inevitably makes me think of where it was, and what its function was, in the living creature.

Without having done the butchering myself -- I've seen my meal walking around a couple hours before eating it, and thought about the living animal while I was eating its dead body. That's not really a thought that's "pushed down". I seriously doubt the farmers I'm eating with, who actually are killing the animal and taking it apart, have any difficulty at all with the facts of what they're doing. (Of course, on the other end, people who work in commercial-scale meat processing plants do sometimes have issues with it, but that's a very different environment.)

There is an argument that we should feel disgusted, that there should be a flinching away or buried horror to eating meat, but should does not always result in is or does.
>We don't need another war, thanks.

Some people think it's the best.
At the moment the strongest proponents of this line of thought sit in the Kreml.
It's just a question of who it's best for.
And they don't care if you want it or not.

The Republika Srpska cultivates close ties to their Russian brother, nurtures strong ethnic/nationalist ambitions and is a possible attack vector for Russian PsyOps to stirr things up.
