Fighting against Putin would probably be fighting FOR your country at that point :)

I'm not pretending I would be better than you and honestly I would certainly have fled too in similar situation. But at some point someone is going to have to do something about the Putin situation, and unfortunately at this point, only Russians can do something that have not a significant chance to end in nuclear apocalypse. Hopefully some brave people over there that remember how tyrans should be treated (but once again, I would never blame anyone for not endangering their families)

I don’t know how serious one can take a point of view that makes some very naive interpretations and assumptions from the start about how Russians will perceive their soldiers deaths, most of which will be hidden as much as possible. Yes many will perceive them as the author believes, but he doesn’t acknowledge how pervasive Russian propaganda is and how many have fallen victim to it. The author’s point of view in the opening is what would happen if Russians knew what actually happened, which is not a good assumption.
Might also be helpful to declare that anything confiscated from an oligarch will be given back to the Russian people/state after everything has calmed down.
If you are in the US, check Mayo Clinic. The great thing about them is, you can see many doctors in a very short period of time, like a week, whereas with traditional US medicine, it takes forever to get appointments scheduled. I saw 15 doctors in 1 week. That would have taken me a year with regular medicine.

I was wondering before if this whole “special operation” is a 1961 thing? Remember der Berlin Wall? The local communists had no compelling story to offer to their population so especiallz the young and well educated voted with their feet and migrated westwards. Essentially leaving the German Democratic Republic with few options, the one they took was basically imprisonment of the remaining population, to prevent any further brain-drain.

Is this whole shit we have witnessed over the last days Putins realization that he has nothing of value to offer to the population?

And that he therefore cannot allow a culturally well connected big western style democracy at his side? With all the connections between Russia and Ukrain, this would be like a massive advertisement what Russians are missing out.

Food for thought.
> Cogent did not want to be, for one thing, used for "outbound cyber attacks or disinformation" from Russia,

I was brigaded yesterday by Russian sympathizers insisting to me that Russia is a productive member of the internet. They compared NotPetya to Stuxnet and claimed that Americans aren't more entitled than them to our own technology. Are they dillusional?

Here is a tier 1 provider telling the world that Russia isn't worth the trouble.

Chew on that.
I think a lot of people prefer books that feel fun to read over books that are hard to read but more interesting stories.

Striking a balance between the two things must be a huge challenge as an author.

This is also why fantasy genre tends to repel many readers, I think. A lot of fantasy novels come with worldbuilding stuff that is very challenge to present to a reader seamlessly, especially since the characters in the books already should know the information the reader needs.

A decent proportion of fantasy novels have invented language, maps, and indices full of trivia that readers must reference to get the whole picture.
It wouldn't be a setting; the intent would be set based on how you initiated the call. If you hit a big 'call Alice and Bob!' button you'd get a call which rings them both; if you hit a 'start a conference' you'd get a Teams/Zoom-style conference; if you hit 'create a voice/video room' button you'd get a Discord-style voice/video room.

This has nothing to do with formatting. When you create a change to a code base you should be submitting only the lines that are new/changed. If someone is submitting purely formatting changes, he/she's just wrong and you should reject that during review.
I’m going to throw in a rhetorical question. If you expect Russians to be walking into Moscow to show their discontent, shouldn’t you be shouting slogans and holding a placard at the nearest Russian embassy to show you’re equally serious?
If the pervasive narrative is that Russia is surrounded by enemies (hence invading Ukraine) anyway then why does it matter? This narrative has been around for awhile, not recently.

And the sanctions also result in oligarchs losing their assets. Want to be an ass and disconnect from the west? Fine. But you’re not taking your toys. They can be in prison together with the people they constantly barrage with these narratives. If sanctions don’t work and not sanctioning doesn’t work, might as well sanction and be done with it.
>>>still he is using talking-points that come from Kremlin's propaganda, like "The US will fight Russia to the last ukrainian"

That's considered "Russian propaganda"? We've managed to goad Putin into grinding up his conventional military in a large-scale war. We've set the Russian economy back decades. And we've so far pulled off both of these, without any NATO member paying a massive price in blood for it. Russian propaganda? More like "Greatest US foreign policy success of the 21st century". I've been really critical of the moves we've made in Europe for the past 10-15 years, but I have to say, if this doesn't escalate into WW3....kudos to the CIA and the State Department for playing the long game and having it work out. But it definitely sucks for the Ukrainians.

I still would have preferred the relationship we had with Russia in the early 2000s. It would have been nice to leverage Russia's geographic position in the inevitable confrontation with China: a bunch of Russian tank divisions under a nuclear umbrella in Siberia would keep China nervous about a vulnerable 2nd front, and perhaps unable to mass combat power against Taiwan/Japan/etc.
The classic image of a witch wearing a pointy hat comes from 16th century England.

Beer was the staple drink as it kept better than water and had nutritional value. Brewing beer was women's work in every household. Some expanded to sell beer at markets, and the pointy hat became a marker for a woman who sold beer.

When men started breweries, it was about the time of witch hunts, and they started to accuse women brewers of witchcraft as a way of removing the competition — and that is how the pointy hat became associated with the image of a witch. Also, the beer was brewed in cauldrons, and cats were used to keep mice away from the grain that the beer was made of.
How does persecuting Russians who flee Putin's regime help end the war sooner?
Censorship has always been a thing in authoritarian regimes. My concern is that it increasingly an issue in traditional western liberal democracies.

Whether it is by state decree (see Covid), state-subsidized media self-censorship (see Canada), de-platforming (see Google/Twitter/Facebook), or cancel culture - the effects of censorship are equally chilling.

Free speech is only legally protected from government intervention - and only in the US. Canada for example imposes strict limits on allowable speech.

I stand with Elon Musk as a free speech absolutist so I think it is high time we revisit free speech protections beyond their current boundaries. I struggle to call our current system truly free.

People say the same stuff about the number of Russian dead claimed by the Ukrainian defense forces. Are they exaggerating? Probably yes. Is it with a factor that changes the facts in a meaningful way? Probably not, given the portion that has been independently verified. Even if that's all there is then it is already enough to count as fact, and it very, very likely isn't all there is.

Something similar is happening here: the amount of evidence that Russian cosmopolitans are reading the writing on the wall is ample, it is reflected in the restrictions in how much capital Russians can take with them abroad, it is reflected in the number of trains running (those things are pretty hard to fake) and it is reflected in all of the personal stories and cries for help from Russians to try to get settled where ever they arrived.

Personally I won't give them quarter until the last of the Ukrainian refugees has been settled, but I do believe the fact that many Russians are fleeing Russia while they can. But they are fleeing for economic reasons, Ukrainians are fleeing so they can stay alive.
Strongly disagree:

- Not having to format my code manually at all, just letting the formatter do it for me, is a significant productivity win. I write code as fast as I can, with the minimum number of key strokes, in a way that would normally be super ugly, and it comes out the same. I have my editor setup to auto-format the current file on save, so it’s just type a bit of code with zero formatting, cmd+s, then it’s instantly perfectly formatted

- For a codebase with 10s or 100s of devs working on it, uniform formatting does significantly help readability. Sure I can still read it if there’s dozens of different formatting styles going on, but I can read it faster if the formatting is always consistent

- Re: the above, yes you can keep consistent formatting without a code formatter, with a style guide that everyone learns, and that you enforce in code reviews. But that’s a waste of time both for on-boarding new devs, and a basically neverending waste of time during code reviews. Also a waste of time writing and maintaining the style guide itself

The first point helps me write faster, the second helps me read faster, and the third keeps code reviews and the like quicker.

Code formatters are such a clear, easy win, especially with large teams, that it’s hard for me to understand why anyone would opt out of them. It’s not a MASSIVE win, but IMO it clearly makes for a more productive development environment, and they’re generally dead simple to setup.

We decided to do this due to the heavy cyber component to this war and the chance of manipulated content. Even seemingly innocuous links could be hosted by someone that is less benign. We certainly recognize that this is a pretty far reaching decision but there are generally other ways for most people to share the type of content that is being described.

As to why this wasn't communicated, there is a lot of things going on right now and sometimes moving fast means missing steps along the way (like sharing with mods). We did not intend to hide this decision.

So it has little to nothing to do with attempting to censor.

This is might be costly buy this way you are harder to track.
Joining the EU was not what Russia opposed, I think Putin even stated that he has no issues with that, it was joining NATO what Putin considered a security thread. So you have to think about the consequences of Ukraine joining NATO.

There are NATO nuclear weapons in Turkey, I don't know where exactly, but Turkey is as little as 170 km (100 mi) from the Russian border, separated only by Georgia, which is also supposed to become a NATO member according to the Bucharest declaration. So is it really that hard to imagine that Russia might be worried about nuclear weapons at their borders?

And I am no expert, I am not sure what kind of assets would be of the greatest concern, maybe it would be anti ballistic missile system weakening your nuclear posture, maybe it would just be a large number of tanks. So don't focus too much on me saying nuclear weapons but think more broadly about military assets in general.
The somewhat way around this was/is sports and other extracurriculars, where the older kids lead the younger kids. Is this no longer a thing?
So only some countries have the right to decide their international affairs? Might as well make the same argument for Germany or France. Putin is mad so therefore decouple these countries from NATO.

Ya know The Us feels very threatened by Belarus. They should have to withdraw from their alliance from Russia and decouple. Otherwise we’ll invade and neutralize it ourselves.
> The OpenID part, would it not be cool if Matrix would offer something like a federated SSO experience?

Yes, hopefully we'll be able to use the OIDC server bundled with your Matrix server to auth users in general if wanted (or alternatively you can of course point at an existing OIDC server).
Yes, there are some groups that use blockchains as a GPG web of trust, since like 2011

Where are you even getting these blanket statements from?

Most of this stuff is really just memes being shared around. And memes, as much as they sometimes look like utterly uneducated trash (complete with errors of spelling / grammar / logic) are usually created by one person then shared by many. I suspect that one person is something of a mastermind; the many, of course, may be morons.

The discussion always seems to go toward censoring the many. I don't support that, even if I vehemently disagree with them. If my aunt, who I don't want to call a moron but does share some utterly insane memes, continues posting things, that's fine. I vehemently disagree with her and hate her viewpoint. She should get to share it anyway.

But I feel like social networks could do a lot more in locating and halting the mastermind that's 50 shares back in the chain, whispering in in their ears. It's like the story from a couple weeks back about a 3-person media shop being responsible for a huge amount of misinformation on Facebook. That was exposed by journalists. Facebook, I feel, would let them go on forever and invests basically nothing in finding out where some of the more virulent content comes from.
I see both sides to this. Yes, Russians should protest against the horrible actions of their government.

On the other hand, if you’re an average Russian with few/no international ties, would you really risk protesting against a government with a demonstrated track record of murdering dissidents and imprisoning protestors?

NATO/the West is choosing to worsen the lives of 144 million Russian citizens due to the actions of ~several hundred people. I don’t disagree with the sanctions but we also shouldn’t pretend that it is a just or fair course of action. Sanctions are the best tool that we have, out of a selection of poor tools.
If you can solve the halting problem, then you can apply it to a solution checker that works by enumerating potential solutions and halting when it finds one. Therefore, if you've solved the halting problem then you've also solved the Entscheidungsproblem, and since the latter is impossible, it follows that the premise of having a solution to the halting problem is false.

Yes, that does seems trivial to me. Although maybe that just shows the brilliance of the people who came up with it and made it sound simple.

Did Turing's original machine not have a halting state? That does change things. You can hardly express the halting problem if you don't have the concept of halting.

Maybe, the wizards I've known were all of a very paranoid type, and the towers they lived in did not have stairs, meaning that the only things these wizards had to worry about, pretty much, were griffin variants, dragons, and other wizards and witches.

I heard of an alchemist once that lived in a very nice townhouse, and was driven nearly mad by the incessant visits of tax collectors. But a tower without stairs wouldn't of been much use to him either, given the limits of what he could do.

In addition to what @derefr said, in order to not want automatic formatting, first you have to get to the place where zero people in your team/company care about formatting & whitespace at all. Disagreements over whitespace consume people time, and those disagreements go away when automated formatting is used. This is the strongest reason in my experience to use automatic formatting: to eliminate time spent talking about formatting.

Auto-formatting tools in editors exist, and they're very common, and they're not always configured properly, so people change formatting on accident. Sometimes formatting changes can cause code reviews to take more time than necessary. Having tabs in code can cause actual problems, for example, since tabs aren't the same size everywhere.

This is not just a code understanding problem, and shouldn't be written off as trivial, IMO.

I am speculating, but I'd expect that Google's reach outside of USA is much larger than the Yandex's reach outside of Russia. In 2021 Alphabet had 46% of revenue originated from USA. If applied withing the country borders this brings the Google's GDP percentage number down to 0.393%. I am not sure what percentage is for Yandex in Russia but it doesn't look like Yandex is used outside of Russia much.
https://www.historicmysteries.com/the-tarim-mummies-of-xinji...

[..] Other Tarim mummies have also been found wearing decidedly western clothing. One of the oddest bits of clothing found any of these mummies are the flat-brimmed pointy “witch hats” that were discovered on the “Witches of Subeshi.”[..]

https://mummipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Witches_of_Subeshi

[..] Three female mummies of Subeshi were found wearing tall, pointed black hats of felted wool that resemble the stereotypical headgear of traditional witches, and dated to between the 4th and 2nd centuries BC They were located in a high gorge just to the east of the city of Turfan.

It has been suggested that one of the three, wearing a heavy glove, may indicate that she hunted with a raptor.

The headgear worn by the Iron-age mummies were fashioned from black felt, the steep spire tapering to a peak nearly 60cm (2ft) high.[..]

https://www.penn.museum/sites/expedition/ancient-mummies-of-...

[..] The most intriguing mummies in ECA may be the “witches” of Subeshi, who wear very tall, pointed black hats that resemble the iconic headgear of their sisters in medieval Europe. Subeshi, dated to between the 4th and 2nd centuries BCE, is located in a high gorge just to the east of the important city of Turfan.

Historian and author Adrienne Mayor has recently suggested that the single heavy glove worn by one of the female mummies may indicate that she hunted with a raptor such as a golden eagle. A number of impressive male mummies have also been excavated at Subeshi, including a man who wears a felt helmet and another man whose chest has been stitched up with horse hair in what must be one of the oldest (4th century BCE) examples of surgery in the world.[..]
