I don't think it's a case of knowing more. What more is there to know, anyway? Unless we believe that there are extremely relevant moral or logistical justifications to what Russia is doing, we should have enough information to act.

And the presence of propaganda (however that's being defined now), while super unfortunate, doesn't relieve us of our duty to act when there is injustice in the world. It can make it hard to know things, but we can still rely on what we can be confident is true: innocent people are being massacred.

And if that moral argument alone doesn't seem to matter, the logistical one should; that we are the frog in the pot while the water slowly heats to a boil. It becomes a matter of confidence that the violence won't end here, regardless of how Ukraine shakes out.
Not to detract from your wonder, but apples aren't true-to-seed... so each new seedling could potentially produce a named variety (although most end up trash trees either with undesirable fruit or susceptible to disease).

I'm not contributing to open source projects privately right now. But if I was publishing code on my own, I would probably make it actually unlicensed at first to keep my options open as much as possible. I would just put it somewhere and say: "here is code, you are technically able to look at it, but I am not giving you any permission". If somebody wants to use it and needs to follow copyright (for example in a commercial context) then I can grant them a free or paid license.

I like the aspect that people who don't care about copyright have an advantage, and people who have internalized it cannot even use the code privately or look at it. I think it tells that I am not a big fan of the idea of intellectual property...
Right, if anything the Tesla results prove that this isn't some inherent problem with all EVs...but rather a very addressable problem by the engineering departments.
Tangentially related: I live in a border town, and my Meetup search results/suggestions are all in the neighbouring country. This was especially irritating during the pandemic, when the border was closed and couldn't be crossed for Meetups. Presumably they do a lookup on location+radius and don't consider the user's country.

I have contacted them to ask for help, and I follow up every month to remind them that it still needs to be fixed. But no luck so far.

Any suggestions a) how to get this specific issue resolved and b) general advice for getting menial (but "important to me") things like this fixed?

Because the war has been doing that already, at a even larger scale: thousands of civilians killed, many wounded, millions displaced. That's already worse than the consequences of a nuclear meltdown.
This is as pointless as adding MathML to a browser.

A smart man who has despised Putin for years is leveraging this crisis to push the west into full scale war. There are many people dying as a result of an unjust war, but I have yet to see evidence of "industrial scale genocide". Putin is an unstable man with enough nukes to render the planet uninhabitable. This is not WWIII yet. It sucks, but thousands of deaths is probably not worth risking the future of billions of humans.
Vlad, I was using openlayers when leaflet was released and have been following your career. Big fan, thanks for always pushing the limits.

Lots of love from Colombia, to you and your family.

My question is: How have you approached communicating to your kids the current situation? I have been trying to explain to mine what is going on and it is really hard to maintain a balance between educating them and scaring them.
On the contrary, it's pretty clear what the red lines of NATO are – the territorial and sovereign integrity of its members (with some complicated bits, like the status of Sweden and Finland).

The NATO response has very very much been calibrated for three things:
1. Do not send NATO troops to defend non-NATO members (with caveats, see Sweden/Finland).
2. Damage Putin as much as possible, within the constraints of the previous point, and
3. Try to give Putin a way out (again, complicated because different members have been less confrontational than others, but this has essentially been the theme).

I'm sorry, Gary Kasparov might be good at chess, but he does not understand geopolitics.

An interesting note on this is the main reason any urban areas are overpriced is because of max desired commute to a high paying job. If more remote options become available for this, we will likely see a decline in pricing for real estate in those areas as well as a decline in gentrification ect.

Personally I don't think the West is "doing nothing". While they could do more (we're still a few days into this conflict, after all, i hope more will come), I fully agree with the strategy of full economic isolation, minimize resource purchasing from Russia (and move towards zero, which will take many years), sanctions, asset seizures of oligarchs, etc. as well as helping Ukraine with absolutely anything they need, but NOT direct military intervention. The moment NATO troops attack Russian troops (or the other way around), then we'll be in WW3. Up until that point, considering Russia has invaded a non-EU, non-NATO member, I think this is as much as the West should do. After all the US got away with something similar against Iraq with nothing more than vague lies about weapons of mass destructions and got zero punishment for it.
There are varying levels of safe driving distance. You can drive close enough to the car in front of you such that you can slow down quickly enough if they slow down from 70mph to 50mph, or if they slow down 70mph to 10mph, but gradually.

You can also drive further back such that you can slow down if the car in front slams on their brake and comes to a complete stop. This is the distance I am referring to which would be politically unpalatable to enforce.

I agree that people weaving in and out and tailgating and cutting people off are doing more harm than justified, but it all starts getting murky once the road hits capacity limits and people start trying to figure out the best way to optimize their travel times. Eventually, with enough congestion, the situation will deteriorate from stop and go traffic to crawling traffic to downtown Manahattan to Delhi and so on.
It's interesting to see this framed as "Putin is starting a war in Ukraine because he wants to expand Westward", vs Russia's own narrative that it is merely stopping NATO's expanse eastward. Ie each side thinks it is defending itself from the other. All while Ukrainians die.

Anyway, I think Putin's aggression is a very bad thing, but I worry about hawkish posts like this that frame it as "we have no choice but to engage in armed conflict". THAT is how you get WWIII.
And we're all fungible sprites.
It's interesting that some of the cars with large differences between cold & warm have there EPA ranges closer to the the cold temperature range, whilst others are closer to the warm range. It's as if some manufacturers have chosen the lower range for their EPAs, so will be less disappointing and appear better in warm weather than promised. I would expect consistency but this is one the flaws of comparing cars specifications: there isn't a truly accurate and constant way to measure ranges that consumers can trust (the same is true for MPG estimates for ICEs).
also: the view is a user-setting. When I author some text I still need to think about how does it look when there is a page split (e.g. tables, figures etc) in case some of my colleagues may end up reading it in the "print layout mode.
That would never work on iOS though, as it cannot use alternative SMS clients.

There’s tons of possible routes, but here is a probable one:

It probably depends on the specific tradeoff, but people accept poorer working conditions for higher wages all the time. See anyone working on an oil rig/fishing boat. Of course there are some margins where a union may focus on working conditions over wages but you can say the same about shareholders and managers.

Anyway, I didn't mean my original comment to be anti-union. I just think that framing unionization as anti-business/profit is both counter-productive and substantively wrong. It's about giving workers a seat at the table as proper stakeholders. But once that happens, it's in everyones interest to make the underlying business as successful and profitable as possible.
Depends where you live. In SF meetups for dev groups is awesome (uber, percona, etc). Where I live now it is pretty useless.
Are you honestly telling me that developers know best? All that leverage and you just want to not listen to anyone? Honestly you'd get further not leveraging anything than doing that.

My single tool is a homemade tiny wiki, lambdatank, usable from any web browser and storing pages as text files. Instead of Markdown I structure pages using a homemade language, lambdatalk, a dialect of lambda-calculus, inspired by Lisp, a single syntax built on HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, DOM, ... With which I can boldify "Hello World" writing {b Hello World}, I can compute the diagonal of a square rectangle writing {sqrt {+ {* 3 3} {* 4 4}}}, create functions, draw graphics, play with the Mandelbrot set, as it can be seen here: http://lambdaway.free.fr

Yes, true. This is why I can never remember when '!' after a ruby method name does the thing I think it should, or the opposite. I haven't considered this to be worth taking time to commit to memory. Sure it would be faster, but each time I do the 5 second search.

I've gone through so many languages in so many jobs/years that it's a very substitutable part of my thought processes. It would be like knowing assembly language when thinking in C. Knowing Ruby when I'm thinking in my imagined language constructs actually used to solve problems.

Another data point was that when I switched keyboard layouts, the amount that I typed on a typical day was not nearly enough to learn the layout. What that showed me was that typing (e.g. writing syntax) was a very small part my job.

Edit: just thought of a good way to illustrate an example. Instead of remembering what `after_commit` does, it is better to know that if I want something to happen when data is durably saved that there's a 'callback thing' in Rails that lets me do that. The important thing is the direction of the association. Any time I read 'after_commit' and don't know it, I can look it up. But if I needed two things to happen together without a concrete concept, I'm not likely to remember 'after_commit' unless I've already solved the problem a number of times. The idea is that the 'concept' should be the memory key rather than the syntax.
Yeah it feels like living in a hospital bubble to maximize health. I'd think we need to blend meditative view points (ability to keep some distance, to cool down) with normal daily lives.
What about LGPL? It seems to tick all of the 4 boxes you have.
I am irrationally happy about this.
Everyone, and the news piece, seems to be jumping to conclusions.

Depends how you look at it. What can't be denied is that they removed the performance limitations for benchmarking apps and this is the real issue - you don't get that kind of performance in real life usage.
This does end in one of a few ways. Here's some:

1. Putin overwhelms Ukraine, via dirtier and dirtier tactics and we lose the leader of a generation (Putin Wins completely)

2. Ukraine resists for an unusual period of time, creating an even more irrational Putin (Conflict gets worse and wider spread, guaranteeing a world war)

3. Putin is knowingly targeted by his own ranks (Putin becomes cornered animal / nightmare scenario)

4. Put is taken out by his own people swiftly, and soon (We win)

There are even more scenarios. I'm mostly trying to point out (via speculation), that the only bullet point that exists on this infinite list where we win is number 4. The rest are all bad and we are in the world's worst casino odds.

Sanctions do not do nothing. But if Putin has complete control and everyone is too scared to touch him, then sanctions will do nothing and we have a much larger problem on our hands. We are kind of assuming he cares even a little bit about his own people. If he doesn't at all, we're fucked.

I can’t stop you doing that. I’m not sure I even want to. I hate copyright, and while I’m not sure it should be completely destroyed, certainly it should be weakened by — say — ninety percent.

However, that doesn’t mean I’m willing to break it. What I’ve internalised, having seen the alternative, isn’t copyright — it’s the rule of law. I’m not willing to break that just because it’s personally inconvenient.

Even the average flu season every year before Covid put hospitals in peril because they were streamlined to always run at 100% workload. So every disruption has this consequence.
Mr. Kasparov is using what seems to be a very fatalist viewpoint (WWIII has already started) to demand we accelerate the timeline.

Is there a version of WWIII where nukes are not lobbed around the world? I don't think so. If that's right, then Gary is asking us to accelerate a timeline toward the end-game, mutually assured destruction and our modern world ending as we know it.

Mr. Kasparov implies that cratering the Russian economy with sanctions, isolating the country, ruining the lives of the Russian Oligarchs, are the actions of weakness. In my very western view, they are not.

If there is even a slim chance Mr. Kasparov is wrong and the non direct military pressures being exerted upon Russia will ultimately erode Putin's ability to exert authority on his slowly starving, battle weary, and drained military, then we have to do everything we can to increase that chance.

We need to take as many bullets out of the gun as we can before Putin pulls the trigger.

There isn't going to be a World War IV.

NATO involvement is all or nothing. If we go to war with Russia, it won't end until the world is a cinder. There is no limited engagement. It feels like we all have complete amnesia about the Cold War and the reasons why so many proxy wars were fought. Nuclear powers cannot go toe to toe without destroying the world, as soon as one side perceives that it will lose a conventional conflict they will resort to nuclear weapons. Even if they try to justify it by a limited deployment of tactical nukes on enemy positions just to shift the balance enough to prevent being routed it will almost immediately escalate into strikes on civilian centres and so the world dies. Does nobody understand this anymore? Just reverse the roles in your head and think more than one step ahead.
I wish it didn't need to be said, but it bears mentioning that Russians are dying, too.
We don't let 80 year old pilots with bad eyesight fly planes. We don't let pilots fly planes 15/hours a day for multiple days in a row. Pilots must pass tests every year.

If we are going to hold car drivers to the same training and restrictions that pilots are held to we will have far fewer drivers and much safer drivers. But it seems very unrealistic to think that will happen in a democracy. Realistically it seems that technology is the most realistic way to reduce deaths.
