That's a lot of words to extol building your own framework for each project you start. I know the articles ends with saying this isn't what is being suggested... but it looks like it.

With regards to the stated drawbacks of frameworks:

> comply with their API

Is a fair point I guess. It's also the obvious tradeoff that everyone is willingly accepting. It also isn't strictly true either In most frameworks, like React, there are escape hatches to do things however you want. I've written React components that hand over control of the rendered element to some pure JS code to do some animation with a library that doesn't speak React for example.

> upgrades are effectively forced

I guess so. These updates often come with perf improvements, new features and only rarely do they remove existing API's. Not having to maintain an impromptu custom framework means someone else is focusing on optimising for me while I focus on business logic.

> train to learn how they work

Isn't this exactly the same as bringing in a new developer to work on your custom web app build that does everything differently to everyone else? he has to learn your strategies for routing, caching, state propagation, etc, and has no external resources to help him.

> compromise with the drawbacks implied by delegating control

I think this is a good point for web apps with a very high performance requirement. I don't see the problem with almost everything else though.

> lose skills. A number of developers either don’t know much about the lower-level APIs (because they always used the framework layer instead) or live in the past

This has been true since before all of the big web app frameworks became popular. I don't see the frameworks themselves being responsible for lazy developers.
Also depends where you live. I used to live in CA never saw a sprout on a potato unless I left it on the counter for a month. Here in FL, potatoes sprout the next day you buy them OR even in the bag at the store. Your best bet in a hot climate is the fridge.
Black Lives Matter protests were about an internal affair in countries not yours, and just like it would be pretty weird to expect Russians to turn up there to help out I think it is a bit strange to expect Westerners to come to Russia to effect change.

The Russian protests were not 'completely ignored', it's just that all we can really do here is report on them.

> I guess he is our problem now

He always was. Now he is also Ukraine's problem (more so than in the recent past).
> Yes and no. If you add a refueling stop to a long-haul flight, it can save enough fuel to make up for the rerouting. (Long-haul flying is really inefficient because you have to take-off/carry all the fuel needed to make it to your destination).

It seems obvious, but I always forget that the rocket equation applies in aviation as well. The massive difference in fuel efficiencies when you get your oxidizer for free tends to overshadow it.
What do you think the low carbs eat?
That's not how math works. They wouldn't need to produce 1% more 30 countires would need to produce 1% of world production in addition to their current produce. In other words the countries producing the other 70% each would need to 42+% more to make up the missing 30%.
He's talking about the Azov battalion. From wikipedia:

> Azov Special Operations Detachment is a right-wing extremist and neo-Nazi unit of the National Guard of Ukraine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Battalion

Neo-nazis and hard-right nationalists were instrumental in the violent coup of the democratically-elected government in 2014, and have since taken positions in the replacement government.

I recommend this article for more background:

Panpsychism is the belief that consciousness, however minimal, is an emergent property of all matter, not just brain matter. From that perspective, there was some kind of consciousness before all of the matter came together to be "you" and something will remain once "you"'re gone.

Personally I think consciousness is an emergent property only under certain narrow circumstances. Death is defined as exactly those circumstances ceasing to be. I think it's the same before as after: "nothing".

The competitive gap with Discord in terms of media quality is probably something like:

* Need a low-latency SFU. This should be very doable; not only are there a lot of good FOSS SFUs to build on top of these days, the history of the Matrix team is actually that we built VoIP stacks fulltime before we shifted focus to Matrix, and we've built MCUs and media servers of all flavours in the past. MSC3401 should also give us a competitive edge given latency will be automagically minimised by using the physically closest decentralised SFU, thus letting anyone bring their SFU to the party.

* Needs a SFU with good rate control (and/or FEC). This is probably the single most important thing to get right in terms of quality. Signal wrote up a good overview of why: https://signal.org/blog/how-to-build-encrypted-group-calls/

* Excellent noise cancellation (and background noise elimination, microphone scratch noise elimination etc). Ideally you need something like https://krisp.ai/ or https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2021/06/background-n... in the mix - but doing this in an E2EE-friendly and privacy preserving manner is Hard. However, just like we solved E2EE full text search by doing it clientside and making the indexes gossipable between your clients (https://github.com/matrix-org/seshat), we'll have a go at doing something similar for this problem too.

* Excellent automatic gain control. The importance of normalising/compressing everyone's audio so they're equivalent loudness is really important.

We're also in the process of adding in spatial audio (unsure if Discord has that) which should help a tonne with distinguishing the different audio feeds.

We can probably also be more bullish about supporting new audio codecs like Lyra.

EDIT: oh, the other obvious thing is echo cancellation - but we're currently at the mercy of the browser's WebRTC stack for that. However, we could ship a tweaked WebRTC in Element Desktop (or other native Matrix clients) in future to do better than plain old WebRTC.
Yes. We need to limit access to Russian influence. It's a war.
We need to open up negotiations on this point immediately. Arab Spring x 10k is about to hit the entire world, and the result will be 10k times as nasty.
All the steroids must've finally gone to his head
Just wondering, can I have fullband stereo sound to play music?
I guess I'll never hear the end of my parents saying it's all Bill Gates and the WEF's plan to kill us all.
You are right that there are many people in Ukraine who support Russia.

However, we should not forget why this is so.

During WWII and after WWII, the Russians have forcibly moved a very large number of people from the territory that is now in Ukraine, to various unpleasant locations in the Soviet Union, mostly in Siberia.

Then they have brought Russian colonists, who were settled usually in the houses from which the natives had been evicted.

The descendants of those Russians brought in Ukraine, mostly by Stalin, have obviously not been happy with the independence of Ukraine, when they have become a 2nd rate nationality from a previously privileged one, like also the Russian colonists from other former parts of the Soviet Union, e.g. the Baltic countries or Georgia.

I agree that the Russians, now in minority, have their rights like anyone else, and they should not be persecuted by the new majority, but at the same time I do not believe that people who have so recently occupied by force the land on which they live now have the moral right to request "democratically" that their present country should become again a part of the empire which gave them houses and jobs, but those houses and jobs were provided by what was stolen from the former inhabitants.
> For christ's sake, I use Yandex translate because it's better for Russian. I now can't link that on a language learning subreddit.

I'm sorry that you can't post translation links and it may seem blunt, but currently people are dying and fleeing.

If every Russian can see what an inconvenience it is to have Putin as a leader the hope is that they will be more inclined to do everything in their power to have him replaced. Some will of course just blame "west", but there will a also be those who will come to question power.
>> everyone in Russia knows what's going on

Maybe in your circle.

You should open Odnoklassniki for a change.
Or any propaganda website that gets tens of millions of readers per day. And those who know the truth would never open that because there is zero pieces of truth in them.
We need to start negotiating on that right now. We need to open up negotiations on this point immediately. Arab Spring x 10k is about to hit the entire world, and the result will be 10k times as nasty.
I'm glad you left in time, hope you find somewhere to stay and that your loved ones are safe too.

First sinister thought that crossed my mind when two days ago I heard he'll likely prevent people fleeing on the 5th was that there must be some 40 million "fighting aged" men not doing essential work (for a military economy) under a despot out of medieval times. How significant do you consider the probability he's blocked people from leaving and declared martial law in order to conscript hordes of non-reserved men into military training or straight into the meat grinder? Especially if Ukraine drags on for weeks and months, let along if there's contagion to other countries.. Do you think that's the path Russia could be on or it's more about avoiding an exodus and increased inner panic?
Yeah, it's tempting to sell a few cruise missiles with "free delivery" to "alliviate" Russian traffic jams.

But if we get involved, we probably can't just blow up stuff and walk away -- I think that only works in movies :)
Then you didn't look very hard.
Fractal-next is looking very usable (thanks to leveraging matrix-rust-sdk as its engine), tbh.
I think that, in the world of nuclear powers, it is trivial to see that physical violence at war scales between nuclear powers is essentially infinitely bad.

Famine among millions of people, and general economic depression has a massive human toll. But it doesn't compare to full on nuclear war, followed by nuclear winter and Global radiation levels from fallout.

So it seems obvious to me that economic violence is the only for of violence the west can bring to bear against Russia. There is a discussion to be had on the matter of whether it should be brought to bear. Punishing the people for the actions of the elite and all that. Perhaps also a 'what does this system lead to in peace time' question, but that seems to argue 'economic sanctions are a tragedy of the commons', which means it is hard to address. At least the solution 'we just won't sanction' does not actually resolve the tragedy of the commons.
We're playing chicken with a lunatic. He knows that. We know that. He knows we know that.

His only play is to act (?) even crazier.

'War' means nuclear war, means the death of probably a large portion of the world population. It's the thing we thought we could stop worrying about 30 years ago.

He doesn't like that he's clearly losing, so he's decided to threaten the end times if he can't get his way. And it might even work, if we truly believe he'll do it.

The problem is the best way he can prove that is to crack the atom over Kyiv.
I think it's a bad thing by itself. With the wikipedia example - anyone can edit, editors can by anonymous or psuedonomous, and there is no preference, implicit or explicit, for race and gender. Over the years wikipedia has been built up, by volunteers, into an amazing and valuable resource.

Now, the organization controlling their work and this global good, decides that aggregate race and gender statistics are a problem. Wikipedia is a little too white, and a little too male, and that's a bad thing!

Imagine applying this reason to any other organization and any other race and gender combination. Here's a crazy idea - if you want to reduce race and gender based prejudice, start by not having clear race and gender prejudices yourself.
Silent treatment is cutting off diplomatic ties. Sanctions is starvation of resources, potentially impacting the war effort directly but indirectly by causing civil unrest.

I agree it’s certainly not the same as direct warfare, but its definitely somewhere in the middle, and can particularly castostrophic when done in a concerted multilateral fashion (ie. North Korea).
The difference is that in Western society (assume you're Western), we've agreed that people should have the right to think for themselves and decided what is right and wrong- so it should be up to them to decided what is propaganda and what isn't.
In a joined up world, sanctions are the new non explosive weapons.
Less project fear (nukes/missiles/violence), more stand on the naughty step and no Amazon or Netflix for a month.

Russia is interesting though, because with so much land, arguably they can be self sufficient, which means only intelligence & innovation holds them back if they want to turn inwards like China did, which the Brits exploited commercially through Hong Kong.

Russia have already demonstrated intelligence and innovation during the cold war with sputnik, they also have tried and tested rocket technology which will boost the French Ariana rockets but we know that genius individuals are distributed around the planet although the health of the mother, diet during pregnancy & during the first 8years will go along way to helping a genius. But the West has pollution which is lowering IQ levels, just like Covid is lowering IQ levels as seen with the "brain fog", so I wouldnt write them off if they followed the science and wanted to go isolationist. Even North Korea has shown it can still survive albeit at a slower pace to the rest of the world, but nothing like the Nazi war effort, which goes to show how idea's can motivate groups of people.
No shit, I have friends in Ukraine and have been over there multiple times this year.

The citizens of a country don't see their existence as being a bargaining chip. There is no situation in which the Russian people simply think "oh, ok, let's just do what those people who disabled my bank account say". None.

This whole thing is an exercise in seeing just how little people know or are even interested in the world outside of their tiny bubble.
I have about -4.5 spherical and 0.75 cylyindrical (eyes aren't exactly the same but that's about the average). I chose to weaken the spherical on each side by 1, 1.25 and 1.5 (couldn't decide after holding reading glasses in front of my normal glasses at the grocery store). I didn't correspondingly weaken the cylindrical, though probably should have. Ordered all three from Zenni. If you get high-index plastic but no fancy coatings and a basic frame, this is really cheap enough to be worth experimenting, and they don't care if you upload hacked "experimental" prescriptions.

About the only catch is you need your pupil distance. I got it written down for me at a couple of eye exams, a Costco optician measured it using a gadget he had, and I measured it by a method I thought up myself - just look at something distant through binoculars and adjust until the image circles merge, then measure center-to-center on the eyepiece lenses. ALL the numbers ended up different. So I just kinda picked the average.

Not very scientific, but all three glasses are OK, and the ones I like best, I really wear them all the time now except for driving.
Nuclear weapons are very delicate and expensive to maintain, especially if you have thousands of them. After having seen the awful state of their tanks and army trucks, I'm less worried about their nuclear abilities.
Naive it not, these countries have a right to self-determination and sovereignty, especially after what the USSR has been doing to them for decades.
I think we should not just give up something each time somebody is blackmailing us. I did not see many asking NATO start a war but we need to show Russia that we can do shit too, they can start "special operations that are not wars" and we can stop trading with them, send their rich back to Putin. If we want to negotiate with Putin we should have a strong position, and IMO sacrificing other countries to "appease" Putin ego is cowardliness and signals Putin that he can restore URSS because we love our comfort.
Yet, that’s still the main answer because the US has pivoted to respond to Asia’s future version of the “Ukraine” incident (aka Taiwan), and the only major EU power taking the responsibility to increase their military is Germany, which also takes time to complete.
Ice Lake Xeon is from last year (ish) so it has PCIe 4 and DDR4. Sapphire Rapids will have PCIe 5 and DDR5 later this year. Or you could try Octeon 10...
But this kinda requires going back in time to create a reproducible build system, no? Or is it common that a company goes to the trouble of creating reproducible builds and then forgets what source they used to build their binaries?
They'll turn green when stored in a bright place for long. The green parts contain more toxins.
So this ^ deserves a downvote? Please tell me why.
> Either way, why on earth are invaders within the fence line of a nuclear facility.

In WW2, on Okinawa and various other islands, the Japanese had set up nursing stations and other logistics inside natural cave structures, staffed largely by civilians, and of those, largely by women, some with children in tow.

When the Allied forces pushed onto these islands, the Japanese reasoned that if they retreated into these caves and placed the civilians in front of the forces, the Allies wouldn't have the heart to firebomb and/or shoot innocents in order to get to the fighting forces. This reasoning was faulty, as MacArthur and others below him in the CoC ordered the massacre of countless civilians to finish the job.

Facts on the ground are sketchy, but my understanding is that the Ukrainian forces made a similar gamble, that "if we retreat into a nuclear power plant, nobody would be dumb enough to fire on our position here", and that they were as wrong as the Japanese.

This is a common gamble that tacticians make, betting on the better angels of our nature to not do horrible things. But we're barely-evolved monkeys, and this gamble is almost always wrong.
Not really. Not everyone in Russia wants to go down with a sinking ship.
I remember getting completely shut down by my American friends when I told them about atrocities committed by US soldiers and that Saddam had no nuclear weapons. It was like talking to a wall at the time. You don't understand - we are fighting this war for the world's safety, blah-blah.

Maybe the next US war will be different ? I doubt it. US propaganda makes Russian propaganda look like amateur hour. Stuff that doesn't fit the mainstream narrative will be shutdown hard, while stuff that fits it will be amplified continuously.
Nice. If he screams then it is a sign it hurts.
Putin tried to run the GWB playbook with his invasion but he got impatient. He didn't have a 9/11 handed to him like GWB did. Putin's excuse is too flimsy about a Nazi genocide against Russians. There wouldn't be any sanctions whatsoever against Putin if he had planes flying into a building in Moscow.
Go watch how people go with bare hands to protest russian forces literally this minute.

And yes, they don't risk 3-15 years of jail. They have hundreds of times higher chance to die.

But they don't use it as an excuse.
It’s probably simply just easier to fly around then ask for permission.
There's another thing that was different at Euromaidan vs current Russia: Yanukovich and his people had somewhere to run (Russia). Putin doesn't.
This is true. The question is whether it's necessary or good (for consumers, for businesses, for the software engineering profession, etc.).

The answer is subjective and lies within a spectrum, surely, but I tend toward the negative end of that spectrum. I don't believe the complexity in web applications is good (for anyone, except possibly browser makers, front-end developers and framework makers) and therefore it's not really necessary.

The browser today is mostly a terrible, inefficient, and limited functionality VM over the host OS, and that provides an inconsistent user experience across devices and even minor browser versions. What I've seen over the last 20 years of my lifetime has been an unfolding of a sort of tragedy of the commons in this context. We have a seeming endless supply of computational resources, "everyone" wants to exploit it in the most ruthless way possible, and it has lead to a deplorable state in the industry where bad practices and inefficiencies are not only tolerated but sought (for resume building, fast releases, whatever), and ultimately it results in terrible abuse/misuse of the resources we have.
It's not that he only understand force. If he wanted to negotiate he could do it. He had plenty of opportunity to do it, and still has. At this point it really, really feels that Putin do actually want a war. He's doing absolutely everything he can to have a war.

Rational or not doesn't really matter if what he wants is a war (I mean, he already started a war with Ukraine of course).
I don’t think you read their post. Try reading it again and again until you understand that imposing devastating sanctions on Russia that impacts their civilian population is a better strategy than risking a world wide nuclear exchange.

If you still don’t get it, go buy DEFCON on Steam and play it a few times.
> ...a lot of people seem ok with punishing Russian individuals for the actions of the government.

Xenophobes are well and truly out of their closets. This is why I hate wars. It incentivizes the absolute worst everywhere.
The Revolution Will Not Be Monetized (2015)
To be clear, sweet "potatoes" are an entirely different genus and species. The similarity is just that both they and Solanum tuberosum produce a starchy edible taproot. It's the Solanum that's the key -- all the members of this genus produce solanine to some degree.
I fundamentally disagree. People don't choose where they are born and don't owe any aligiance to the state that happens to control that territory.

Just because the local mob accepted my protection money and left me alone doesn't mean I have a moral obligation to defend them against a competitor.
No one listened to arguably the greatest economist of all time in 1919 when Keynes wrote The Economic Consequences of the Peace.

No one is going to listen now.

Not to mention the die has been cast already.
Would you say in the same vein that North Koreans are responsible for the dictatorship they are living in?
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1232463/how-to-prov... has a proof for base 2. This method works for other bases too.
Yes, and, if you enable DNSSEC on your domain and post a cryptographic proof of this TXT record to the Ethereum chain, you can use your proof of ownership of the DNS name to trustlessly claim the associated ENS name. Then, people using Ethereum can send assets directly to "ukraine.ua", which will resolve via ENS to your address.

That makes sense. I’ll try moving the site to a different domain and submitting my seventh appeal.

If this is indeed the problem, it’s hard to understand why their support agents couldn’t have divulged this information in one of my six previous appeals.
