I had wondered how welcoming Estonia was being to Russians at the moment. I suggested a couple of Russians that are leaving reach out and ask, because Estonia is one of my favourite countries in the world and I had faith that you would be helping Russians flee.

Hopefully, I will get to come visit again once this all calms down.
When both sides have nukes, you can't win by nuking things either.

What are you referring to here specifically? Genuinely curious. I haven’t encountered much anti-Russian sentiment (yet), I’ve only noticed anger towards Putin, his cronies, and their soldiers. As far as I can tell, most understand that the Russian people didn’t choose this despite how little they did (or could do) to stop it.
Don't beat yourself over it. Now that you're out of the country, you can donate time and/or money to help fight for tolerance and against Putin regime.

You're welcome to your own opinions, and your own blithe dismissals, but you are not welcome to your own facts.

I lived during most of the period discussed by the GP. Everything from the Bay of Pigs to supporting the Shah to Iran Contra to the invasion of Grenada was well covered and well criticized in the US press. And the US invasion of Iraq was highly criticized in the US press even as the US government was facing an uphill battle to convince the world that it was proper by brandishing fake bottles of poison at the UN.

The US has done a lot of bad stuff. But claiming that the press just went along with it is historical revisionism, full stop.
There's absolutely no way he survives politically from a pullout in Ukraine.

No. Sanctions are weapons of mass destruction.

They starve and kill the poorest in a nation. It's akin to carpet bombing a town without explosions.

This is not hyperbole. Look to history at the destruction of sanctions.

Haven't had time to experiment with it though so not sure how fun it'd be. I don't retain any rights to the idea if anyone wants to run with it and try it out.

> what is the list of UB that nay professional C developer should be expected to know?

Off the top of my head, as a non professional C programmer:

- can’t read from uninitialized memory

- one malloc = one free

- signed overflow is undefined

- pointers to stack variables can’t outlive the stack variable itself

- can’t dereference NULL pointers

(Obviously take this with a massive grain of salt, there are almost certainly important ones that I’m forgetting.)

> null pointers are represented as 0, e.g. if(ptr).

If(ptr) is guaranteed by the standard to work. Memset(ptr, 0, len) is not (and is very broken in other ways as well).

> char and unsigned char are 8-bit bytes

They’re guaranteed to be one byte, where a byte is at least 8 bits. So unless you’re trying to simulate %256 with an implicit conversion, or relying on unsigned overflow to turn 0xFF into 0x00, then you’ll be fine.
It's surprising to me it isn't in any company's interest to charge higher rates and offer an actually reliable service.

There aren't world wars any more because the next one will likely be the last. Some decades of relative peace is a pretty poor return from something that will likely end humanity at some point.

Nukes have been around for less than a century, a blink of an eye in historical terms, and have already come close to obliterating the world multiple times. It only takes a single war to undue millennia of progress.
I highly recommend this lecture by a Finnish military intelligence expert for anybody looking to understand Russia's actions better. It was very enlightening at least to me, goes in depth to how Russia's history has shaped its culture and thinking in bad ways. English subtitles available.

Based on the lecture it's evident that the Russian government only respects force. Soft measures will only encourage them.

> I don't support Russia, but I can see why they want Ukraine, a country that is in their borders, to stay in their orbit.

This is a complete red herring. They don't want Ukraine to "stay in their orbit," they are colonizers that are fighting against Ukraine's independence. Putin said he doesn't want Ukraine to join NATO. Nobody in NATO is eager to accept Ukraine. Ukraine said they'd stay independent. Now, Putin is saying that Ukraine is essentially Russian, and he's bringing up fake news about genocide and neonazi government.

If you think that Putin will stop at Ukraine, you're sorely mistaken. It's Ukraine now, Georgia right after, and then we shall see.

You do not negotiate with terrorists. We've tried. Ever since Crimea in 2014, the west has been in one large negotiation with Russia, and obviously, nothing worked. At this point, it's all-out everything except actual troops on ground, because it's obvious Putin won't stop unless he's stopped in some way.
While that's certainly an excellent idea, it doesn't directly address any of the serious problems discussed in the article.

Long-haul truckers appear to be independent contractors with zero market power relative to trucking firms. They're exempt from minimum wages and benefits, and they're required to lease their trucks from the trucking companies, then pay to maintain them.

Under these circumstances, reducing fuel duties might slightly reduce costs to consumers. But it doesn't look like it would help the truckers one bit, because they have no negotiating leverage. Any new money injected into the system would just be extracted by the shipping companies. Or that's my understanding of the article.

I'm not saying you're doing this, but I am frankly tired of knee-jerk, simple answers to tricky problems. If someone tells me the answer is always deregulation or lower taxes or whatever, and their advice never changes depending on the situation at hand, I'm increasingly assuming that they're pushing a simplistic, abstract theory. Given the state of the world today, we need to stop repeating slogans and start thinking hard about how to solve the problems we face.
Sanctions are not independent country decisions for "not buying X". In real life they work by throwing a huge economy's and diplomatic power's might against lesser countries they don't like, and in pressuring satellite countries and global organizations a side controls to stop trading, sending supplies, even food and health kits, to other countries.
Evaluating the quality of a source was one of the most difficult and also most important skills we were taught in university.

Do I still get it wrong. Oh dear, yes. Did I learn how important it was? Oh yes.

I especially learned to qualify what I wrote and to mark when a source could not perfectly be trusted, but the argument/point of view was interesting to discuss nonetheless.

Why can't Wikipedia at least either remove false information once provided credible sources. Or at least somehow mark the relevant section/parts with a disclaimer so that readers are at least aware that something might be suspicious.

Could it be gamed? Weaponized? Probably. Would it be helpful to readers? Maybe.

But how is the current situation better?
And a majority of russians support the war now... some because they support putin, some because they want putin to protect the russian minorities in ukraine, and a lot of them because of the propaganda in russia. Yes, some people don't want that, and articles like this one now is a part of anti-russian propaganda.

America had its own share of propaganda, that brought popular support for those wars... some even very fake one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony America also had hippies and other anti-war groups, so the situation is not that much different.
There will be collateral damage. ~20% of Kyrgyzstan’s GDP is remittance from Russia. Sanctions should be kept on Russia. This is an opportunity to further unite.

Supporting these affected nations is a win for all involved, except Russia. We should prevent them from going into recession, enable them to reduce their dependence on Russia, while strengthening our relationship with them.

> The other option, if we are really trying to do our best to avoid nuclear war, is to capitulate to Russia.

That is not our choice to make (assuming neither of us is Ukrainian). Our choice is only to cut off support and let Ukraine fight truly alone.
North Korea is a bit different in terms of resources and borders than Russia and still, no one wants to mess with Kim(though i'm pretty sure their rockets will be shot before entering the atmosphere)
It's not an existential problem for humanity, but it could be an existential problem for individual humans.

Settlement patterns grow up water availability. There's a reason India and eastern China are densely populated while the Sahara has virtually nobody. The U.S. Southwest (LA, Vegas, Phoenix, and smaller cities in SoCal/AZ/UT/NV/NM) urbanized when we developed the technology to dam & control the Colorado River.

In 100 years, it's likely they'll be thriving communities in the Sahara, Canadian Shield, Siberia, etc. to make up for the increasing inhabitability of Northern Europe, the U.S. South & Southwest, Indian subcontinent, Middle East, etc. But that's cold comfort for the people who already live in the affected regions, who will have to migrate, die, or spend most of their resources on water infrastructure.
If russians didn't support Putin, it wouldn't matter if he lives or not and if he's isolated (which is called an imprisonment btw) or not.

Russians have to decide: do you want to continue living in peace with the rest of the world, or not. In the former case, retake control of your country and stop invading, raping and murdering Ukrainian civilians.

In a world without generic programming, NaN not being equal to itself makes a certain amount of sense for some kinds of numeric code.
But in a world with reusable generic algorithms the calculation changes -- here equality/ordering relations really must be transitive or weird shit happens. In C++ it's undefined behavior to call `std::sort` or `std::unique` on list of floats containing NaN.

Most languages nowadays have standard-library functions/types that require well-behaved equality, so why have a builtin type for which equality is not well-behaved?

> The same article the US entered Iraq under.

So? Many people equally believe that the Iraq war was unjustified. Just because someone else does something bad, doesn't give you the right or an excuse to also do something bad.

> Nobody is going to launch nukes, that’s just silly.

Right up until Putin invaded Ukraine, everybody was saying he won't invade Ukraine, that's just silly. But he did anyway. You don't know what Putin will or won't do, especially now that Ukraine turned out to not be so easy to take and the world has largely banded together against him. If he's backed into a corner and feels that he's doomed either way, then who knows what he is willing to do.

> He will likely just void IP rights and patents in retaliation to sanctions.

He can go for it.

I would prefer to be shot than be starved to death. And what does behaving nicely mean, in practice? Change the elected government? Let go of their sovereignty? You are forcing countries to go back to stone age because you have a bigger wallet and a bigger army.

Economic sanctions are the rich countries way of being a bully. We are all interconnected and cutting one country's access and resources is worse than attacking them.
Boycotts and sanctions are not the same thing. If I stop buying Coca-Cola products no one goes to jail. Sanctions create legal consequences for trade, enforced by law. They are very different.

I am mostly criticizing the move from Cogent, triggered by an EU directive. Reddit's is not that impactful, but it does appear to go in the same direction.

All the polls in Russia show more than half the population supports the special military operations in Russia.

Except that the peer you’re giving the silent treatment provides oil, gas, and metals to every part of the world that isn’t North America.

Your point is taken, it’s not physically blowing someone up. But from the global perspective, isolating Russia with sanctions removes them from the economy in the same way bombing Moscow would, while leaving alive people who might have a chance of changing the course of the conflict.

You don’t have to kill an enemy to neutralize it. In fact it’s quicker, easier, cheaper, and more effective not to. But it is still every bit an act of war — wrecking the global economy is also “really fucking bad.”

And besides all that, if people getting blown up is what you’re looking for, it’s still early days yet. This is all far from over. And even if it stopped tomorrow, we will be dealing with the ramifications of this for years.

The US clearly are an outlier when it comes to military spending, and the European NATO memebrs did downsize their armies since the end of the cold war. Looking at this (https://cimsec.org/nato-defense-spending-past-present-part-1...) shows a less clear cut picture so. Was the US the top military NATO spender? Yes. Was it also the biggest economic power? Yes. Did the other nations significantly under spend? No.
Not buying stuff is war, but invading a country is a special military operation.

It is always easy to criticize. What do you think should happen? Just yield Ukraine to Putin? Did not work with Germany and Elsass-Lothringen, did not work with Russia and the Crimea, won’t work now.

What happens if you give in to a dictator’s demands isn’t that he is satisfied and stops. Instead he will realize that he got away with it, then try something bigger next time. There are countless examples of this in history.

The problem is that Ukraine has the same security implications for Europe as it has for Russia.

I don't know how solid this piece (or the team behind it) is https://bywire.news/articles/millions-of-russian-roubles-fun...

An inability to build & maintain infrastructure is a common feature of times of scarcity. It's hard to organize people toward a common goal when there's an imminent threat to survival.

Sure, in theory there's plenty of water on the globe, and it's just a matter of getting it to population centers. In theory all we have to do to avert global warming in the first place is reduce our CO2 emissions. In practice both of those goals are essentially impossible, because it's a coordination problem and coordination problems are significantly harder than technological and economic problems.
Foreign is relative. I'd count any language that isn't an official language of your country of birth or residence.
I see the same problem. Reviewing some internal metrics, at least half the team members were basically producing nothing. No artifacts of any kind over months on end.

Overall productivity was the same. The remaining folks were producing significantly more and burning out. They actually lost work life balance, working way beyond 9-5 hours.

In this case, I don’t think my company has figured out how to manage remote workers. Even the direct managers appear checked out, delegating their own responsibilities to this group of ICs who are burned out.
Innovation requires capital (human, financial, natural resources, etc.) capital requires strong economy, stability, etc. USA has all of it, moreover it can buy the lacking components with dollars. USA has been strengthening their global position for years, since fighting off the Great Depression. Their unique position is further strengthened by the fact that the dollar they control is used in international trade. There is no way to compete with that head on, in the best case Americans just pay people with more money or buy the company outright. Europe does not have massive oil, gas, ore reserves. Most of it is a federation of culturally very different nations. Capital is scarce in contrast to USA. It’s really much harder to find support when developing new products and services because an error can destroy your life or career - our bankruptcy laws are less forgiving. All of that makes copying much more attractive here - it is less risky in an environment that punishes you when the risk materialises worse than in USA.
> Although it supports the Ukrainians and that’s important, I don’t see how sanctions reduce the likelihood of wider war?

By reducing the capacity for wider war.

I think this summarizes it, without a focus on war capacity specifically, but the impact on war capacity flows directly from this:
