It just took me 15 minutes to make a panorama for kstars (a very similar program, I assume the same image would work in both) using an android phone and the google 'street view' app.

The street view app is intended for making panoramas for submission to google maps... but you can just not submit the images, and they get stored locally in the photos folder. After that you just load it in gimp to erase the sky and save the result as an image with an alpha channel.

The hardest part was aligning the image to make north agree exactly -- but unless you're going to use the image to map out visibility for astrophotography you don't have to get it exactly right.

Are there measurements that don't require an interaction? Is locality false?
But, the media told me that Putin is Hitler reincarnated.

As an amateur I like to use the depth of field to bring a 3d quality to my shots, sort of separate the layers a bit. Usually stopped down a bit, not wide open.
And this is currently the biggest difference I can notice between photos produced with my X-T30 and a Xiaomi mid-tier phone, the pictures don't look flat, sometimes it even feels like looking through a window into the scene.
The other two differences are field of view and the resolution, since my phone is equipped with a wide angle lens. TBH, when I shoot the wide end of my kit lens on the X-T30 and don't pixel peep, it's hard to tell apart the jpeg's from my camera and my phone.
> Perhaps more importantly, though, this bug is basically the exact type of bug that caused the log4shell fiasco: trying to be too "smart" with user provided values that should just be treated as "dumb" scalars.

Which is exactly the equivalent of using JSON.parse(). You will find more library combinations, and for many of them the options can't be considered bugs like you do for mysqljs here, and you definitely won't be able to catch it.

The solution is parsing beyond JSON.parse(). You can't have arbitrary user provided structures floating around your program.

Russia's central bank said all Visa/MasterCard should keep working in Russia.

I guess it depends. I can't use my card on foreign websites. I can't use it abroad.

IMHO, that's more than annoying for me.
Pretending that geopolitics doesn't exists is not rational in my opinion. How we came to this place now? There were warning signs this will happen and we just stirred the fire... Ordinary people should not suffer because of propaganda gains...

I've disassembled dozens of different phones and laptops, some of them many times, but even looking at this being taken apart stresses me out. I have 4 cameras from the A7 series (mk 1-3) and each of them has a small issue that on anything else, I would've fixed long ago, yet I haven't as much as taken a screw out of any of them. The sheer amount of flex cables and daughterboards is kind of terrifying...

Just in case anyone takes this seriously: Ray McGovern is paid a contributor for RT and Sputnik, both Russian state owned media outlets. Douglas Macgregor is a former Trump official that also frequents Russian state owned media like RIAN and RT. Most of John Mearsheimer's policy views are rooted in anti-semitism.

> Americans should call on our government to stop forcing NATO membership on Ukraine.

“Forcing”?

For years the dialog has been:

Ukraine: “Give us NATO membership now! Please!”

US (along with the rest of NATO): “No, but later sometime, sure.”
> just for the reason of ethnical difference...

How the hell has this suddenly become an explanation for the war (or even a thing in the first place)??? No one had ever mentioned Ukrainians being "discriminated" by Russians before the war, quite the opposite, Russian-ethnics and Ukrainians have lived peacefully in Ukraine AND Russia for generations (except for a small minority of far-right nationalists).

> committing genocide and ethnic cleansing.

This is a desperate attempt by some Ukrainians to paint a picture of Russia as being equivalent to Nazi Germany, playing the same Hitler card that Putin did to start the war.

They are doing that to try to make the West feel morally obliged to act even if that means war spreads to the whole of Europe and potentially, turns into a nuclear war.

Even though there is a lot of suffering happening in Ukraine and Russia is indeed bombing cities in the fight with the Ukrainian army, it's an absolute disgrace to compare that to a genocide, and the claim Russia is trying to ethnically cleanse Ukraine should be as strongly rejected as the claim by Russia that Ukraine is governed by people with Nazi beliefs, both being ridiculous.
No, not war. It’s just a…special operation. Not war, definitely.
After watching the whole Gonzalo Lira stream from Ukraine I concluded that indeed there is some stronger propaganda vector there so I have removed it now... Just trying to build up a proper picture of what's going on. It is crazy how that is hard today.
You’re assuming that there’s a small number of herbs discovered a limited number of times and spread over a large geographic region, as opposed to a large variety of potentially beneficial plants discovered multiple times independently by people who spent literally their entire lives, for generations, interacting with their surroundings. Yes, if someone discovered aspirin, and you want to know if it ever reached another continent, your model is useful; if your question is generally “did humans intentionally consume bioactive plants with knowledge of their effects”, I can pretty confidently say the answer is “yes” for any group of humans who spent even a generation living in the same place. Again, these folks lived primarily forager lifestyle, in which they had to know which plants they could eat or they would literally starve to death. They knew their environment.
Another advantage is that it would become practical to use the waste heat for district heating.
At least they are staying consistent I guess. Instead of just doing business in / cater to the government of messed up regimes and only stop doing that when they start a war in your backyard.
> So how exactly are any expats and foreign citizens still in Russia supposed to pay for transport or whatever to get out?

There is a reason lots of countries urged their citizens to get out earlier.
I can agree there was warning sign, Putin complained about NATO expansion for nearly 15 years, but please provide better content.
I've been doing senior sysadmin or adjacent work, mostly for SME corporations with turnover in the $250-750m for 20 years, which has consisted primarily of saying "oh f, no price list, they're going to want to charge enterprise prices at a level I can't possibly make a business case for", interminable meetings with the dreaded pre-sales Two Suits and a Skirt hydra monster, and some minor stuff with backups and printers.

While everything this guy says is largely true - I have after all had purchase proposals rounded up to the nearest $100k ( it wasn't close... ), But likewise it's often true that that $500-1000 credit card is only held by one person in a given team, and there are already many competing monthly charges on it, and it's also said manager's "get out of jail free card" for just throwing money at small problems that come up, without having to talk to their manager. That's an emotional requirement as much as anything, but it's linked to whether said manager can appear competent to their 1-up.. so if you think that $1000 card has more that $250 available for all reoccurring expenses, you may need to reconsider.

And you might, justifiably, decide that's a reasonable customer selection filter, because no one wants a customer that behaves like a big enterprise but pays like consumer.

But we're not like that, honest - I just want your X for me and the 3 people in the team it'd help, you'll probably never hear from us otherwise. Truly! Come on, we believed your marketing brochure.. meet us half way?
> The smart move for companies is to comply with these laws to a superficial extent while silently keeping as much dissident content online as possible and staying off the radar of regulators.

I don't disagree, but I think we also have to consider that a "PR stunt" by spotify would be part of boycotts by many, many other companies.

A hypothetical Russian that still has no clue what their government is doing will be magnitudes more likely to notice spotify stopped working, apple doesn't sell new devices, Ikea is closing, than accidentally find one slighly critical bit of content. All of this happening at once is very hard to ignore, also for pessimist apolitical persons (people who don't like putin, but won't do something against him as long as they can do their own thing). That kind of person is quite common in Eastern Europe to my experience.

Ofc the Russian government could frame this as everybody else being mean to them, and instead of making Russians critical it could polarize them in that way, so this is not clear cut the best strategy as well.

Maybe it would be even better to have them ban you for trying to speak truth to power (if this is possible without putting your staff in harms way).
> Russia’s National Settlement Depository reported that the Ministry of Finance sent the interest payment, as usual. In normal times, the depository would then transfer it to the accounts of bondholders with payment scheduled for delivery the following day. The issuer of a bond can make a payment to the accounting system, but the depository is banned from sending that on to foreign clients, the central bank said in a statement.

The bond issuer has already issued the payment.
Yup. In war you have to do whatever it takes. In addition to direct SMS we should think how to better mass email and call Russian people as well. Let’s do it!

Show HN: Clipton, Clipboard Manager
Clipboard managers are an essential tool for me.

On windows I used Ditto.

On linux I used CopyQ.

But after a while I started encountering issues.

So I made my own manager based on rofi.

If you have linux and rofi this might work nicely for you.

It consists of a small c program and a python script.

But note, he distinguishes between nationalism and patriotism, and even blames the decline of patriotism for the rise of nationalism. It’s quite a subtle essay. He was also ahead of his time in knowing about – or rather, being aware of – both things like the concentration camps, and (to my surprise) the Bengal famine.
Absolutely we need to resolve things differently in 21st century. World where ordinary people would not be treated like a cattle essentially by any government sounds like utopia. Maybe Mars :D
Tell HN: Google removes Russian news from results

Mildly interesting; I don't think anyone is surprised.
Celery is not a broker daemon, it's an abstraction for them. You can use it with various brokers and some kv databases such as redis.

> How big is the hidden cost of destroying rain forests and other habitats?

Incalculable, since we have no idea what we're losing?
This seems like a very open ended problem still. Surely there is much more hidden information in the way people write which has not been utilized widely yet. I’m reminded of when 80% accuracy in computer vision classification nets were state of the art. You need more data. And, I think, more transient data. Cliques develop lingo that falls in and out of fashion quickly.

For instance I know why I started one of the above sentences with “Surely” (not something I did often until recently) and it could be traceable to at least one specific internet community if you had all the conversation data. A few more layers like that in a neural net and you’ve got a pretty good fingerprint.
Just to be safe I'll call my daughter PINE, aka PINE Is Not Emacs.
But you make the assumption that the data can be generated by your model, and your variance estimate only holds asymptotically.

The ignition lock doesn't know or care what the reason is that you don't have the key.

On the books, the lock is there to allow only the owner to operate the car.

Yet here you are, without the key, but still the owner, and yet you still can't operate the car.

The ignition is not preventing you from operating the car because you are not the owner.

Yes. I assume you're asking if they're publicly available, which is a no. Is not an easy world to penetrate, for good reason.
Not sure which reports you are referring to, but polling shows that Putin’s approval had increased to 70% after he started the war in Ukraine.
Yes, but that's the good propaganda, violence, erasure, and censorship though. Promoting it protects liberal westerners from the complicated tasks of basic research, historical knowledge, critical thinking, and the potentially complex and appalling realization that states and their actions --even democratic ones, from the Melian massacre to extraordinary rendition-- exist on a spectrum of good and evil. Our good propaganda, ect. saves citizens a ton of intellectual effort which is clearly better spent somewhere else. Let freedom ring undulled by the complicated.

Honestly, this whole thing reminds me a bit of the Lusitania and the way England manipulated US opinion (not saying war wasn't justified). The US and UK governments denied the ship carried munitions for close to 100 years. It was a German attack on a peaceful vessel, period. The wreck was found in the 80s, and divers were told to be careful surveying the wreck given its cargo. Later, the cargo was of course revealed to be high explosives and tons of rounds of ammunition, making it fair game for U-boats and causing the deaths of thousands (?) of travelers as a result... best of all, the German government had published warnings of the risk of traveling into a war zone in American papers.

In short, take all news with a grain of salt. The good guys are usually the ones publishing.

Addendum: I do support the Ukraine whole-heartedly; I hope this results in a free Ukraine and a new Russia.

This is a good point, and definitely worth considering. I would however weigh the benefits of these languages with the cost of complexifying the toolchain, adding another language into the mix, & future maintainability (I'm pretty sure I can still run `make` on the C codebase in 10 years. I'm not so sure about these others.)

> as CSI made the job "sexy" attracting a pool

Not all science is equal, and it's a doubled-edge sword. I think the fault is more in human nature.

On one hand, we have science that lets us land probes on asteroids and return home with samples, or deploy a terrestrial vehicle on Mars capable of launching a smaller aerial probe... powered by radiation from a burning sphere of gas.

On the other, we have forensic science. Same level of confidence, very different results. Who's to blame? The jurors ignorant of the science behind the evidence that influenced their decisions? The judges and lawyers equally so? The labs and employees perpetuating bad science, or the schools that taught them? The police that collect and document it?
"Read the comments on the internet from the 90s or early 2000s about almost anything and see how pessimistic everyone was about the future of new technologies."

We live in a time, where allways on devices track and spy everything by default about everyone and secret algorithms decide what posts get viral and what gets blocked or banned automatically, with no chance for the ordinary person to contest these decisions.

And all of this gets used, to manipulate peoples attention to sell them shiny crap, or influence them politically, without them noticing.

But yeah, people adopted to that total surveillance and algorithm control and starting the day with tailored advertisement. Why resist the change of the glorious new age?

But apart from that, I absolutely would buy a wifi controlled smart oven, where I can check on food and maybe adjust temperature without going to the kitchen - but only if I control it and not some server in china or wherever.
the reason is vendors. in the XP era, OEMs would write crappy drivers, which made Windows unstable or erratic. WHQL was established to ensure quality control, but vendors could simply disable signing if they couldn't be bothered to make their drivers up to code. the watermark was added to prevent such unscrupulous behavior.

It’s not irregular to represent a list of typed objects in JSON as an array of arrays in which the first array is the array of keys in the same order as the corresponding values?

You can decide which side you want to win: democracies or dictatorship. Putin takes the cynical position that democracy is a sham and consent should be manufactured. What kind of world would you like to live in?

In the world where might makes right, it’s justifiable for the head of a state to literally threaten everyone with nuclear weapons. I don’t know about you, but that’s not a precedent I’m willing to accept.
In 2012 new gas deposits were discovered in Ukraine. On the coast in Crimea territorial waters, in Donbass and in Carpathian mountains next to Transnistria.

Tension spots popped up suspiciously near those deposits in recent years, could be a coincidence of course. Developing those deposits would make Ukraine more independent from Russia.
If ADO.NET counts as a library for you: Parameterized queries for MS SQL through ADO.NET.

They are seemingly run through a stored procedure on the server side, with each parameter passed in as an argument. This has some consequences that lead to very obscure behavior, too [1].

For example, you should never create temporary tables in an SQL statement that was initialized with parameters, as they won't survive the end o the statement; they will be destroyed as soon as the innermost scope (within the stored procedure call) finishes.

I ran into this because I tried setting up a single "run this query" method in a more complicated database routine in order to keep my C# code clean... didn't work out as I'd hoped ;)

[1]: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46311328

Edit: I just realized that this still isn't a guarantee that parameters are handled as a separate structure by the underlying network protocol. I hope they are -- but I don't know how to check. Maybe the according .NET Core code is on GitHub?

All those random messages would do is convince a lot of those who have doubts about the war that the West is indeed waging an information war and make the official Russian sources seem more trustworthy. Honestly, I don't think you can do much in terms of changing peoples' opinions. Those with at least half a brain understand what's really going on. Those without are never going to be dissuaded from believing in whatever nonsense they believe. Saying this from within the country.
I believe it could be the other way around, i.e. other countries paying in gold for Russia's natural gas to bypass sanctions. Iran has been able to sell petrol using the same method despite of the embargo.
