The problem is you're arguing from an idealistic point of view.
But in the real world might makes right. Doesn't matter what Ukraine wants if it doesn't have nukes to back it up.

So if you are a young man in Ukraine and you have no stomach to get sacrificed in a geopolitical game between the West and Russia you should be given no way to opt out?

I think you are discounting a lot of things here. First, the deterrence effect of fighting could stop future attacks. Second, what should he do? Surrender his sovereign country?

Is it irresponsible to not immediately surrender your country when a more powerful nation asks for it?
Truly Orwellian double-think on display in that legislation. "Legal but must be censored", "you can speak but not be heard" etc.

The root cause of this is that our society has forgotten how to argue for free speech as a moral case. We've taken it for granted for so long, we can't remember why it's good. Meanwhile the enemies of it have spent years steadily attacking it, often with lies (e.g. the numerous fake claims of Twitter bots controlling elections).
That is just the same theory expressed in a different way. He cant control the people of Ukraine by giving then a decent life as a Russian satelite, so he's invading them to force a pro-Russian government on them.

Use all the bold type you like, make it size 200 if it makes you feel better, but I will simply re-iterate:

Which "parts" of Ukraine would that be that don't have the view of the sky required to get Iridium, Inmarsat etc. working ?

Last time I checked, Starlink required a view of the sky too. ;-)

To be clear, my issue is not with Starlink per-se, but with the claim "the only non-Russian communications system still working" which should be taken with a significant pinch of salt as it is effectively impossible to believe.

Particularly so given the public Twitter statement made by the boss of Iridium that clearly states they are still live over Ukraine, still shipping kit to Ukraine and have no intention of doing otherwise.
So Fox News doesn’t have reach?
> The Dart formatter sounds really advanced, and reflects potential complexity of the language.

I would not be surprised if a lisp formatter following the same philosophy as the dart formatter would be similarly complex, since the complexity comes from optimizing line length, not parsing.
I have a copy of this book, though I never got past the few pages. When I tried to read it I got through the first chapter, which says the first thing one should do is play many games, and I put the book down to do just that.

It also makes a great point that while amateurs play the game for fun, professionals will labor at it. I thought that was a fantastic point

Putin is effectively unelected. Their election system is a multi-tiered hoax and just another method of deception.

The alcoholic "President" before Putin had actual tanks firing at congress when things didn't go his way.

Before that, communist supreme rulers who murdered those who opposed them. And their own party members to get the throne.

> Are you arguing that if my colo provider burned down I'd need to get explicit informed consent from every user before restore a db backup somewhere else?

AIUI, it could swing either way depending on several factors, such as: the format and usage of the data; how and where the data is transferred, processed, stored and exposed; what access and role the colo provider has (are you purely renting a dedicated server in a DC with FDE that you unlock remotely with an HSM or is the data processed by one of their managed services?); how the consent you already acquired was formulated.

If the colo provider has an outsourced support engineer in Asia looking at logs/coredump or temporarily transferring a backup where the PII appears, that would constitute a transfer, for example, and full compliance needs to be guaranteed throughout.

It's years since I considered myself to have a clear and deep understanding of it and it's gotten a bit fuzzy since, so someone else might chime in with a more clear answer.
That’s how those laws work yeah. In practice you won’t see military action unless you have previous training because you are a liability in combat. But you’ll for sure be building tank traps, filling sandbags, digging trenches and moving supplies.

In a team is also where code formatters shine, IMO.

The biggest advantages (to me at least) are that they almost entirely eliminate formatting from code review, and the consistent style makes it easy to read and edit code written by different people.

The difference is FOLLOWING the war. You have to defeat the aggressor before you can help rebuild it.
The transcript was released by the White House and there are no threats made to withdraw Ukrainian aid - quite unlike the explicit and damning public statement made by Biden to withdraw aid, which is also captured on Video - but fails to get any publicity whatsoever as its deeply embarrassing for the favoured media darling.

Presumably if starlink users are accessing services over the internet, starlink has to peer with other ISPs somewhere. So the assumption is if you can fill up all the pipes where SpaceX peers to other networks, then Starlink is cut off from the internet.

Absolutely agree. Speaking as someone who has recently had to upgrade multiple medium-sized Scala/Java apps. Diamond imports are absolutely a big problem. Many of these programs simply couldn't be built on newer Scala versions because of dependency conflicts and required portions to be rewritten. Incredibly painful!
Completely orthogonal to the morality debate of this:

Microsoft is going to be doing a very interesting experiment here. With COVID, many companies that were reluctant to enable remote working were forced to implement it for a year to survive. Then many of these companies found out remote work ain't so bad.

Now we are going to see the same thing with Russian companies being forced to Linux desktop to survive since they won't be able to download new copies of windows. Very interesting experiment.

You are mistaking Putin’s motives. This isn’t just two guys fighting. This is one astronomically narcissistic psychopath looking to destroy his enemy. Your mistake is assuming Putin had a conscience. He will happily kill an unarmed man.

Your other mistake is thinking Ukraine would be a country if Zelensky fled. That would have been the death of Ukraine as a nation and truly would have spelled death to his people and his culture. That’s something worth fighting for, if anything is.

People like garbage. Even if it’s harmful to them. I don’t think people running Twitter are taking one side or the other. Like Facebook, Twitter is simply evil and tries its best to funnel the kind of content to you that would keep you “engaged” and angry. Only know, instead of stupid kids, and jobless schmucks, the people being kept engaged are politicians, influential scholars and journalists who think that nukes are just another type of bomb and nothing to be afraid of.

The best thing about HN is being introduced to new things, so I wouldn't want to limit that by filtering by what I already know about.

A feature which has been very helpful a couple of times is the noprocrast setting, which you can get to boot you off HN for a while if you spend too much time here.

If you click thread at the top it's not hard to see if your recent comments have replies.

Sometimes I look at https://hckrnews.com/ which just shows the recent top stories in chronological order.

Also see this github page about undocumented HN features https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented

If you want to add to HN, go to new and upvote good stories. Go to ask and answer questions. Go to show and give people feedback. Submit fascinating things. Write awesome things yourself and submit them. Teach us something. (Ask not what HN can do for you etc) Good luck.
They’ve been seizing all of that money. It’s mostly unavailable at this point.
Thanks for the comment and kind words! Indeed it is!
Upvoted in order to get some objective input from HN on this. To me this sounds like potentially fake news, but I simply don't know. Or just a small that is being inflated in order to make Ukraine look bad. Biased angle? Is there another reason mainstream media doesn't pick up on this?
The proper solution is either to educate that 40% of kick them off the internet (and hopefully out of voting booths, too)

This is the second or third article on the difficulty of line breaking I've read on HN just this week. Why aren't there any good *exhaustive* tome on the art of text editors / line breaking / text shaping / text rendering / text on the GPU etc. I'd pay good money.

I think we are in agreement with the the situation, I just disagree and think you're either driving too fast or following too close. Your logic leads to pile ups, as in the event of a pile up, a car stops dead unexpectedly infront of you and you have nowhere to swerve.

I can't speak for the USA, but in the UK, if someone swerves and you rear end a stationary object, you are at fault. Indeed if you rear end another vehicle, you are nearly always at fault (unless e.g. they pulled in front of you then immediately slammed the brakes).

For stopping distances, this is what we are taught in the UK (rule 126): https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/general-rules-t...

Stopping distance at 70mph is about 100m and "The safe rule is never to get closer than the overall stopping distance". This is a minimum - in adverse conditions the distance should be even greater.

This means when you see the stationary object, you're about 100m away, which is adequate time to stop IF you're paying attention and your car is well maintained (we have annual MOTs to ensure this).
They are implicitly comparing media sources to non-"media staples", such as your gut or your dreams. There may be "general information sources" better than those.

Seems like Node.js isn't the only language where people notably introduce dependencies.
Just ask how come they know it was Russain saboteurs. [0]

> "we were later told by the Ukrainians that we were being ambushed by a saboteur Russian reconnaissance squad"

This is not.. very credible.

Just exactly how they said when "Russian tank drove over a car"... when there were no Russian troops in Kiev. [1,2]

Or you can ask why Ukranian army decided to fight from the nuclear plant buildings (Zaporozhye NP) fully knowing they would be fired in the response.

Or you can ask how come the "Russian cruise missile" came from west side [3] (notice the sun position and the local time, ~08:00) when... there were no Russain troops there at that time. Check the map in the link [4]. Check another angle [5].

> I think I'd still prefer to see a formatter attempt to preserve any formatting which is already 'good enough' to pass as an output threshold.

That feels like Prettier sometimes. I think it leaves some objects on multiple lines or one line depending on how you leave them. But I’m not too sure.
Incidentally I spent yesterday implementing a Lisp formatter with the algorithm described by Jean-Philippe Bernardy in the simple and elegant paper "A Pretty But Not Greedy Printer."

https://jyp.github.io/pdf/Prettiest.pdf

It's based on introducing choice between vertical and horizontal stacking. It avoids combinatorial explosion by pruning away strictly suboptimal choices. With just a few extra rules for Lisp forms, the results are quite good.

I don't handle comments though, since I only need it for pretty printing values so far.
My first thought was that I mostly do not know or care where the developer of an app I want is based.
My second thought is that is a Kenyan developer specifically want a target audience of Kenyan users then they need a localised application (let's say a restaurant review app of some sort). But when the behemoths like Google already include data from many if not most countries (eg google restaurant near me) then this seems a non starter.
Third, it was not clear whether the download data was total, or to Kenyan IPs/users, or total downloads.
Finally, if I were writing an app, my target audience would be worldwide (for sales numbers) unless I had a very niche product in mind (like an app that suggests apps written by Kenyans).
Another unpopular opinion here:

Tomorrow would be another day of life. Probably the elites would feel the difference, but, for the common people, tomorrow would be exactly the same.

> Or is there an alternative to fighting that you’re proposing?

Diplomacy.
Zig's formatter has no notion of line length. If you want an argument list to be stacked vertically, you insert a trailing comma after the last argument, otherwise the formatter will put it all on a single line. I was a bit bothered by this at first but I came to really like it.
I've just checked - and I've accumulated over 1,000 in Bitwarden!
Most code formatters have pragmas to allow you to break out of the autoformatter, for when you really do need to override (your case 3).
A stolen code signing certificate affect Linux in the same capacity as Windows.

I'm of course ignoring the fact that a lot of Linux distros still do not have Secure Boot enabled by default, and therefore do not enforce any kernel driver signing policy.
Someone who's thoughts I've been listening to for some time now is the cognitive scientist and AI researcher Joscha Bach. As far as I'm concerned he has the best model of our consciousness, life, the universe and maybe everything that I've come across. I've honestly been trying to find something substantial of his that I disagree with and I've come up short. His first Lex Fridman interview is a good start, and there's plenty of more technical talks out there too.

There's also Bret Victor who's "The Humane Representation of Thought" talk is one of my all time favourites. He hasn't seemed to be very active recently though.

I've come across Dave Ackley via Bach, and he has some really fascinating ideas about improving the nature of computing, seems to be a real outsider figure.

I'm sure there's many more brilliant and charasmatic folk out there, but we just haven't come across the the links to them yet.
Honestly .. we didn't have international bands touring .. that's about the worst I noticed growing up ..
> Not only writing it, but also countless hours in PR-reviews without senseless nitpicking.

I've never understood this point. Programmers will always find something they can nitpick about. Ultimately you want a culture which focuses on the critical parts: Correctness of code, good test coverage, big-picture architecture which has long-term impact. Bringing an auto-formatter into the picture may reduce some senseless nitpicking, but you haven't actually done anything to solve the real culture problem. If your team was getting blocked because people were arguing about formatting you have bigger problems that won't be magically solved by adding an auto-formatter.

To give some examples:

A while back I worked with one person on a project where we had both Prettier and super strict ESLint, and I would still get PRs rejected because they wanted the code to be slightly refactored in a way which was entirely subjective and had no impact of the correctness (e.g. "flip this negation") .

And right now I'm working on a team where we explicitly tag some PR comments with "nitpick". This will not block the PR from getting merged, but instead it's a way of saying "I prefer it this way, but it's not that important in the bigger scheme of things". This is also a signal that it's not something that we want to start a bigger discussion around.

(We use auto-formatters and linters as they are very useful.)
Since it's also illegal to help a criminal in their act, there are already a hundred laws that could be explained in the same way.

This relay only accepts and sends encrypted traffic and you (as entry node) will not know what is being transmitted. It's encrypted with a key you simply do not have, you're just forwarding it for people that could otherwise not reach the entry nodes.
