Seat posts, especially of a different metal to the frame (e.g., carbon or alu seatpost in a steel frame), regularly seize in place without grease (from galling or corrosion). Often in a matter of months. I’m amazed you’ve never run into this or heard of the idea in 15 years of professional cycling. Did you ever work on your own bikes?

If you’re looking for more friction than grease, you can use carbon assembly paste. But either way, you want something between post and tube.

I never considered this before, but it looks like GP is right. The specific phrasing doesn't say "parties need to go to war when one is attacked". As a Romanian, it is kinda worrying that it's not straightforward.
Robots Will Transform the 2020s
Yeah, that makes sense. There's kind of a dance our politicians have to do. They have to keep the corporations and PACs happy first and foremost, but they also have to... well, not necessarily keep the people happy, but say the right things so that people will actually go vote for them.
So it would be pointless if each member can decide to deploy their troops the way they want, might as well keep national armies.
Yeah but we don't take the approach of "well you ignored rules, therefore we can ignore rules as well" when it comes to our justice system. Criminals broke the rules, but they still get due process.
> talk about what a bullshit lie it is

And everyone happily consumes this, as no one has their own opinion anymore. Doesn't make it less of a concern from security perspective of Russia.

Frankly, this kind of chauvinistic attitude is one of the main actual reasons of why Russian-Western relations had degraded to this point. All of this had already been predicted by political experts all over the world almost 20 years ago.

> The fact is Putin wants to reestablish the Russian Empire

Please don't state such ridiculous assertions as facts.
I could be wrong, but I think the hardware cannot sustain outside their servers farms without significant investment in the things needed; it's not like the throw away entire server racks at a time, the probably only retire small pieces of the hardware at a time.
I see and agree with your distillation, but I disagree with regard to the current principle. The current reactionary stance is playing right into victimhood.

“The west has done this to us”, “the west is corrupting us with homosexuality and libertine behaviour”, and so on.

It’s a declaration that one (or ones nation/identity) has been wronged directly rather than remain dignified immovable force battered by waves of circumstance.

Hence the violent backlash.

Not to say anyone who feels battered by circumstance should just let it happen, but perhaps if the reaction is to lock down, restrict freedoms, imprison their compatriots for asking questions and bomb their neighbour’s residential villages into dust then I rather think they’ve lost the dignified plot.
Hi, I would be happy to tell you what is happening here in Kyiv.

For context, I have some hard currency, but I'm not spending it as yet. Electronic means of payment are fully functional - spend at the supermarkets, or pharmacies, without issue (other than supply issues at supermarkets of course). I haven't yet tried an international bank transfer into Ukraine, but I suspect it would be OK. I use an EU issued bank card, it works no problem (I also have a UA bank card as backup)

At the moment, therefore, the best thing to do: get money into the hands of regular Ukrainians. Personally, I have been raising funds from abroad and using the money to either give directly to Ukrainians (via bank transfers), or purchasing food etc and delivering it (in my local area) to the most vulnerable. At the moment, if people run out of money, they will run out of food.

Keeping people fed, keeps people sane. It's the most effective thing for Ukrainians that are remaining in Ukraine.

I would say the second most effective thing, is asking your politicians to do more - that may be providing lethal aid, humanitarian aid, or money, to Ukraine.

Further - logistics are incredibly compromised now, in every possible way. For the moment, money is the most effective solution. The situation is fluid - what Ukraine needed yesterday, is possibly not what they will need tomorrow. Money can be used immediately to help purchase what needed, with respect to what is actually available.

Internet in Kyiv has been stable the entire time.
I agree, but that wasn't my point

Are you using a UPS on the desktop? A recent HN thread highlighted BTRFS issues, especially with regards to dataloss on power loss. Also, there's a "write hole issue" on some RAID configurations, RAID 4 or 6 I think.

That said, I'm thinking about leaving a BTRFS partition unmounted and mounting it only to perform backups, taking advantage of the snapshotting features.
It was for my own use.

It was unusual in quite a few ways. For one thing it was subroutine threaded which made it a little faster than most FORTHs, also it used self-modifying code in an inner loop to save a cycle in an important place.

Most FORTHs at the time used block-based disk I/O because you could do that without a real operating system and have some nice benefits such being able to copy a block of source code to the screen buffer to edit in place, easy memory allocation, etc.

OS-9 had a handle-based API for filesystem access basically the same as UNIX and MS-DOS 2.0 so my FORTH used that. OS-9 had a choice of text editors, including a vi clone so I didn't feel the need to embed an editor in the interpreter.
It's the income; affects people from English-speaking countries too.

Perhaps recent wage inflation might change the proportions. It was about 50% of people last time I looked who couldn't meet the income requirement. Even if the foreign spouse earns a lot and can clearly support themselves, that can't be considered if they are abroad. Nor would a cash gift from parents or friends be accepted. So it is somewhat political.

I've occasionally seen people who earn a lot, i.e. software engineers, who clearly exceed the income but have their application rejected because it's not paid in the exact form the Home Office is looking for when they examine a personal bank statement. Self-employed and contractors fall into this problem if they haven't received advice and planned for it, because they wouldn't normally pay themselves a monthly PAYE salary in the expected form and above the threshold.
This is cool!

It's kind of similar to what the RICE/ICE frameworks are trying to help achieve [0].

We built some scoring of impact/effort into our tool Kitemaker [1] and allow teams to prioritize their work by these things. We ended up going with really simple scores like S/M/L since it's super hard to know the difference between a 6 and a 7 (and it probably doesn't really matter anyway).

I’m mid thirties and have no social media, but I’m still hooked on the internet (HN and reddit, mostly), so friends online isn’t necessarily the difference.
Sort of. If they don't make enough in tips to bring their effective pay up to minimum wage, the employer still has to make up up the gap.

Would this get caught by KMSAN (https://github.com/google/kmsan)? Maybe the circular buffer logic would need to get some calls to `__msan_allocated_memory` and/or `__sanitizer_dtor_callback` added to it? If this could be made to work then it would ensure that this bug stays fixed and doesn't regress.
Yes NATO should be a bilateral treaty between the EU and US, if should exist at all.

> The oversight mechanisms for them are, so far, atrocious. Perhaps we should fix those before expanding to an army?

All the stuff you talk about should be coupled with EU parliament > inter-governmentalism, and then the answers should be clear.

In one of the most contentious elections in the last 100 years, the racial voting lines were not quite as stark as I expected. While black voters voted in the ratio I expected, I honestly expected this type of ratio along all racial lines except white given the Republican rhetoric in the latest presidential election:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1184425/presidential-ele...

TBH, this was an election for the Democrats to lose, when it came to non-white voters and the ball was dropped. I'm not sure why they keep chasing these edge-case voters and ignoring the lower and middle class, base. They assume they're "gimme's" I assume - but voter turn out will, and does, drop =[

Full disclosure, I live in the Seattle area, so the rhetoric bubble here is strong

Nazi Germans also "evacuated" my forefathers from Eastern Europe to the Third Reich during WWII, do Russians even understand what they're doing now?
Re 1 - it really is quite astonishing how uninterested nuclear plants seem to be in burning their fuel.

It makes perfect sense if you consider the original reasoning - to make weapons, then progressively adapted to make them less useful for making weapons.

Still, I can't help but feel that fans of this mythical "innovative private sector" have a lot to answer for. Here's a 100-fold optimization in fuel use - not in fact a trivial cost, even for nukes - that's been on the table for more than fifty years, with the only drawback that nobody has literally given you the schematics. Now we're burning a shit-ton of gas and funding the tanks for the privilege.

I’m not against an EU military in principle, so my question isn’t loaded, but genuine curiosity. What would prevent an EU Army from possibly forming a corrupt military leadership?

As a French citizen, I believe this won't last.

1. Europe will rely on Russian natgas for quite sometime. We can't force Poutine to withdraw for this very reason as long as China continue to support Russia. And China stated this morning that they intend to do so, and accuse the West to be responsible for this war: https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-business-europe-gl...

2. The biggest countries of Europe will realize that the most eastern countries can't decide how the EU defend itself (and without a consistent EU policy, there can't be stability). At some point, France, Germany and others will weight in and possibly negotiate with Russian to ensure that no more armed conflict arise (we may have deny Ukraine's membership to EU and NATO, if necessary). The US and the EU interests aren't aligned, as the US continues to work against multipolarity in the international balance of power.

3. The only entity that is gaining now is China, and the worst outcome of this conflict is Russia to become a close ally to China. Everybody would loses. Note that in January, China entered a 25-year parnership with Iran to provide them with weapons in exchange for oil & gas and China is forcing the West to remove sanctions on Iran and China in exchange for a nuclear deal https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20220119-china-plays.... Why wouldn't they do the same with Russia? Also, China is using the Ukraine war to remind everyone that Taiwan is theirs and that they expect to control the South China Sea. The EU also say that only China can be a mediator in this conflict https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3169407/ru.... That's worrisome.

4. Western countries are slowly realizing that we should have considered Russian concerns about its security more seriously (even if they are exaggerated and exploited). Note that 68% of French people surveys believe NATO is partly responsible for the war in Ukraine (slide 9: https://harris-interactive.fr/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/202...).
Germany dominance is the worst. EU parliament control and not some intergovernmental bullshit is the only way to make this happen, and a good reform either way.

The problem with the analogy is that it doesn't work. Never has and never will. And you started it with comparing piracy to a bike theft. If someone without money came and stole my bike but I still had a copy of my bike. I wouldn't mind.
The 17” 1440x900 display would be an absolute dealbreaker for me personally, so I’d also have to figure a way how to fit a better display in.

This is fair. However, the question itself suggests OP is already questioning his employment there. I think it's fair to read between the lines a little bit and let him know that Oracle has a reputation that fit's what sounds like his current experience.
>Either violation of a nation's sovereignty is a crime or it isn't. If being an authoritariann dictatorship is the criteria when is Saudi Arabia getting invaded?

Violation of the sovereignty of a free and open democracy isn't the same as violation of the sovereignty of a brutal dictatorship, and pretending that Putin's regime is somehow as legitimate as a free open democracy is absurd and it's not difficult to see how people come to the conclusion that people pushing that idea are carrying water for Putin. It's also just straight up ignorant to pretend that the US actions in Afghanistan look anything like the straight carpet bombing conducted in Syria. It's also not particularly difficult to see how you would be strategic about where you would intervene.

>Can you point to where TFA makes this argument?

To quote the article I'm "reading between the lines". We're not stupid, when Russia invades a sovereign nation and you spend time talking about everything bad the west has done in the last 30 years, we're going to point it out. When people try and manufacture false equivalencies between what the west has done and what Russia is doing, we're going to point it out.

This article, frankly picks out a tonne of quotes to try and paint the west as some massive war mongering groupthink, but the truth of it is that there has been huge criticism of the western interventions in the middle-east and it's ridiculous to cherry pick war hawks and pretend that's a homogenous view from the west. The truth is that even by 2008 Obama was running against the Bush-era wars, and there have been massive campaigns from both sides of the the aisle in the US to take the US out of foreign wars.
While someone is busy tracing that fingerprint, everyone has already copied and watched the video.
There is the NATO response force: https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/topics_49755.htm
If you read NATO's founding documents, a country can be accepted only if it would improves the alliances overall security, which is not the case with Ukraine and Georgia. Both countries would only improve the alliance's security if they stay neutral as buffer zones.

Ukraine has been shelling Donbas for 8 years and there's plenty of evidence, which has been totally ignored by the West.

On the contrary, there's little evidence (only narrative) that Russia shells evacuees.

Washington himself was such a man, who gave up power to inculcate the tradition of peaceful transition in the United States.

"Give the last word to Washington’s great adversary, King George III. The king asked his American painter, Benjamin West, what Washington would do after winning independence. West replied, 'They say he will return to his farm.'

'If he does that,' the incredulous monarch said, he will be the greatest man in the world.'"

I've been in the same boat. Around 2012 or 2013 I put BTRFS on my DIY NAS/media server. For some reason, totally unprovoked the array just went belly up with no warning or logs. I tried and tried without success and couldn't recover it. Fortunately I had good, recent backups and restored to ext4+LVM and I'm still there 10 years later.

BTRFS sounded cool with all it's new features, but the reality is that ext4+LVM does absolutely everything I need and it's never given me any issues.

I'm sure BTRFS is much more robust these days, but I'm still gun shy!
This is both correct and wrong. Some lights affected more than others.

I'm in the high power rocketry hobby and got a Prusa i3 mk3 for myself for Christmas. It's pretty amazing to sketch a bit while on conference calls, then after work model my sketch in Fusion360, export the mesh, import to Prusa slicr, export gcode to an sdcard, start the printer and goto bed. Next morning, there's my part waiting for me.

Electronics is the next bridge to cross and i really hope this class helps with that. I know a guy in the hobby who went from nothing to selling a custom designed altimeter for rockets on his website in about 6 months which was pretty impressive to me.

Surely it didn't have anything to do with the media pimping him nonstop during the primaries, giving him disproportionate airtime, or that the democrats ran one of their least likable candidates of all time.

Not to mention running a terrible campaign that spent all of its time hanging out with megadonors instead of actually visiting the swing states that decide elections...
One thing you didn't mention is that you talked your manager or tech lead about your concerns. Before you write it off, I would definitely talk to them about your concerns. I would approach it as a "Hey, I'm OK doing this to get experience and help the team out, but I was expecting a bit more dev work." I think this is a good first step to make sure that you and your manager are on the same page for what you should be doing for your job. Like some of the other commenters said, it's OK to do some ops, but definitely talk to your manager and set your expectations for the job you signed on for.
I think that is a conspiracy theory. Russia certainly seems to be doing better under Biden than Trump.
You are completely missing the point as to why people voted Republican recently, and of course, doing it with an air of smug superiority and vague references to racism. LBJ's quote ironically applies in reverse to the democrats of today, especially and including some minority communities. He might have said:

"If you can convince the lowest person that his situation is not his fault, he won't notice that you're making it harder for him to rise up. Hell, give him welfare and a system to blame, and he'll happily and loyally stay down forever."
