They speak both, but Abkhazian and Ossetian is dying language, they are Russian citizens and speak Russian first.

Georgian language on other hand is the most widely-spoken of the Kartvelian languages and serves as the literary language or lingua franca for speakers of related language.

Before Soviet Union, it was Georgian territory for thousands of years, South Ossetia - is Russian name, in fact it is named Samachablo, Ossetians migrated there from North Ossetia en masse during Soviet Union times and re-named area to South Ossetia to give it impression as if two Ossetia's where same area.

The point incorrect, Chechens do not desire to go back to Russia and fought war over it, but they lost because Russians committed their genocide.

You can not simply settle somewhere and then want to break-away, Why is this so hard to understand?
Session musicians replace the band members a lot even in the 60s or 70s. Often, the band couldn't play at all. They'd have to learn to play their own tunes so they could tour.

See "The Wrecking Crew" documentary.

Even for "Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass" there was no "Tijuana Brass". Herb was a session musician and decided he'd try making his own album. It was such a hit he had to go round up some brass players so he could tour.
maybe, maybe not. it's pretty common to find households where one partner has a job with a good salary and the other has a job with good benefits. cutting salary by more than proration while offering great benefits could be an attractive combo for households with this strategy.

If you're ever curious what getting into modern farming might be like, give Clarkson's Farm a watch. Very enjoyable series.
Absolutely.

Go and move to West Memphis, TN (or, as I said, with most places in the US) and try to live without a car.

Not really a choice. Which is why I live in a place with halfway-decent (well, the best in the US anyway) public transport.
I kind of disagree on the chess player point. I think many older players would gladly keep competing on the highest level, but just can't keep up. It's not really far fetched that younger people think faster, have more stamina and can keep focus better in those several hour long matches in world class tournaments.

However, with older age comes ability to select where to focus better and put things in perspective. The skills gained with aging don't really help with chess, which reduces most of the time to raw calculation and focus.

I mean, what is the country going to do? At best they can launch a cyber attack (or a lot of them). Any physical action would immediately involve the host country - bombing the Facebook HQ for example could be considered a terrorist act or even a war declaration.
Local computer shops might be a place I’d check. I know some places that could put a high schooler after school to work on a simple project like that for a few days.
Most CFL bulbs for the home were total garbage. The colors were limited and the light was harsh. CFLs in the E26 bulb format ran too hot and the bulb electronic ballasts either smoked out or occasionally caught on fire. My country, France, banned incandescent bulbs early on. The CFL replacements were poor. The LED replacements that followed were significantly better.
There are quite a large segment of engineers later in their careers who would be interested in this kind of arrangement, especially some engineers who are parents of young children. I suspect the demand for these kind of part-time working conditions outstrips the supply.

My experience is from the labour market in Australia, the situation here is a bit different than the US as our healthcare & health insurance is decoupled from employment.

There are some very sharp and experienced engineers out there who are not willing to work full time roles any more, and this eliminates them from the running of the vast majority of advertised roles at companies that will only consider people available full time. It's not uncommon to see senior engineers negotiate part-time arrangements after being at a company for a few years.
But of course, nobody uses the standard library since it came late to the game, and instead there are at least half a dozen popular HTTP libs commonly used (Apache, Jetty, Spring, OkHttp, Google, etc.). It's not too different from the logging clusterf*ck in Java, where there are now 9 ways to do it, and none of them are compatible with each other.
Dostovesky is such an irrelevant author to ban, he was from two governments ago.

Platform for stateful frame-by-frame processing
Hello everyone. I'm looking for a platform to do stateful frame-by-frame(sequential) processing of data.

Modern stream processing engines tend to focus on parallel processing of big data. This is great when the desired results are calculated from aggregates over the entire set or subset(filtered) of the whole dataset. In contrast to this I need to process data sequentially, where a change from one row to the next has meaning and changes what has to be done next. All data is time-series data. As an example, imagine a video game generating the results according to the current situation and the inputs of the player. Spark kind of allows this with e.g. mapGroupsWithState(), but I believe it's not what it's designed for, as this case doesn't need distributing data across a cluster to do processing on(because as data needs to be processed sequentially,it should benefit from holding the state in one place and passing all data through a single point of processing close to that state). I've looked at flink but I didn't find anything related to stream processing frame-by-frame.

Is anything out there for solving this type of problems? I don't want to re-invent the wheel.

Thank you.
Thanks! Macroexpanded:

Agreed in theory, however in practice in SF with all the self driving cars I've had the opposite experience IRL. The self-driving cars provide more buffer (slowing down earlier) for pedestrians than human drivers and I trust them more already.
Not as good as uBlock Origin due to API limitations, but AdGuard is probably the best you can go for because it supports (and internally converts) uBlock-style filters as opposed to using its own, usually outdated filter list like other blockers do.

Lockdown Privacy is also a good one to filter out malicious traffic across apps - this neuters the Facebook SDK malware present in many apps for example.
Yep. Personally I'm interested in finding two locations: one with great weather throughout the summer, and one with great weather throughout the winter.

I think technology changes but it doesn’t need to be hostile.

An electric car, for all intents and purposes should be substantially easier to repair, diagnose, and work on, but manufacturers are doing things like using proprietary signaling protocols, locking out third party parts, and putting complex software in the place of simple and reliable hardware. Electric cars aren’t new, they’ve been around since the 90s and it was perfectly possible to create one without the “smart” nonsense we are seeing today. My car doesn’t need to report my location to a database or have a manufacturer kill-switch and it doesn’t make one a Luddite for feeling that way.

I think you meant to argue that new hardware can be good, but that's really not the conclusion I walked away with.
This is literally the opposite of true. The OS-supplied resolver supports TCP DNS on all of the most popular desktop and mobile OSes and has for ages. I'd estimate a minimum of 90% of users have setups that support it, and I'm only hedging the 10% because I'm not sure how prevalent horribly misconfigured corporate firewalls are.

By not supporting TCP DNS you are the odd one out.
> they can marry whoever they want

This phrase is rarely appropriate when discussing marriage in Israel, never mind marriage with Palestinians.
Its better to do both - layered approach. And if you wanna be extra see my other comment on this thread :-)

The advantage of DNS is of course that it will generally also work on things other than your browser which is a pretty huge win.

Original author here. Many smart people have contributed code over the years, but one warrants special mention.

About a year ago, verhovsky showed up out of nowhere. He rewrote the core of the application and increased the professionalism across the board. (dedicated domain, github page hosting, UI refresh, privacy improvements, and much more)

The tree-sitter PR is a monster achievement: https://github.com/curlconverter/curlconverter/pull/278

Search for parseAnsiCString in there. I don't think that had ever been implemented in JavaScript before.

For you, verhovsky, 10x engineer might be an understatement. Thank you!
> The problem is the double-standard: straight couples can talk about their marriages without fear of repercussion under this law

Well, straight couples were the first to get their affectionate relationships recognized and regulated under the law. They've been "normalized", as you say, for millennia. Same-sex marriage is still a very novel concept, only a few years old in the U.S. and most of the Western world. It's not surprising that people are confused by it. So, it's not surprising that same-sex people might have to clarify that they're talking about something (legal marriage) that is, functionally, entirely akin to sworn brotherhood.

There are so many things like this that are challenges we just have to suck up.

Like, how do you write a multi-stage message where multiple stages are absolutely unavoidable, without the recipient answering just the first bit and not reading the rest?

I really struggle with it. (Because I am verbose. Overly verbose.)

But I try to frame that request in the context of each message.

Whereas someone I know has basically a copied and pasted demand letter at the top of each email, saying he won't reply unless people have read the whole thing. It's not as cute as the legendary Van Halen rider M&Ms request [0], and it just comes across as damaging.

I agree with you completely.

All this talk of genocide and nazism in Ukraine is devaluing the meaning of those words. Yes there is considerable suffering and it is a terrible conflict but, and maybe people don't use words literally anymore or don't care about history, to include either of those words is grossly inaccurate verging on absolute ignorance or troll.
Try AdGuard - not as good as uBlock but it's the best you can do on iOS given API limitations.
I honestly thought from the headline before clicking through that this was referring to the other CDs, "certificates of deposit", which, I imagine, may be more in-demand due to rising interest rates.
>the russian forces are playing extremely loose with civilian casualties.

one of the main reason for the indiscriminate shelling and bombing of the cities that Russia conducts is displacement of Ukrainians into the West Ukraine and farther, i.e. ethnical cleansing. The much smaller population left will as a a result have a [scared] pro-Russian majority and will "democratically" vote for the government of Ukraine (or whatever part of Ukraine Russia wants to hold, and they would prefer it to include Kiev as that would make it "Ukraine") doing what Russia wants.
Ah, those are nice examples, but... some 50% of private land in Israel is owned by Arab Israeli citizens, not by JNF, and they apply similar restriction on any Jewish family trying to settle in a predominantly Arab town or village. A similar restriction doesn't apply to predominantly Jewish towns, only to small community villages.
It's not genocide, but if Russia wins there will undoubtedly be a lot of "cleaning". Their plans include arresting anyone who still resists, and who knows what will actually happen to the arrested.

Judging by the Russian prisons where they rape political prisoners with dirty sticks... it could be pretty bad.

Don't believe me, here's some proof: https://vot-tak.tv/novosti/04-10-2021-iznasilovaniya-v-kolon...

On the contrary; the browser is still generally the user's agent (although Chrome can be iffy) - we don't need to imagine, because we can compare the Facebook app to browsing Facebook in a browser, and see that the browser is still far more friendly to the user's interests than what FB ships.

This is happening well beyond Seattle, not sure if it is a West coast thing. In Vancouver, it is a similar story [0]. It has gotten substantially worse in the last 5 or so years to the point that it is feeling lawless [1].

I have noticed that there are a lot of policies that seem local but are actual not and are being resold/implemented. I'm really curious what's changed and why are we still digging a hole in this spot where it is clearly not working.

The city and province are now spending incredible amounts of money on homelessness saying this will solve the problem but crime is going in the other direction. Some stats are saying otherwise, but reporting is now way down. I was in a parking lot last week downtown and a guy was all messed up and had a fire going in the parking lot. I talked to the security guy he shrugged. When I came back the fire was out, but he was still doing his drug dance. I don't think there was any reporting. I think the security approach was to get the fire out and no other confrontation. The stairwell was full of feces, urine, cat litter, and garbage. I don't think that the parking company can keep up anymore.

There seems to be a sense that criminality is ok for those that want to be criminals. I fully get the idea of not criminalizing poverty or addiction, but it is going well beyond the self and creating an ever larger blast radius. A real debate about whose freedoms get protected and whose get run over would be interesting to watch by policy makers. Not sure how they are seeing this, they are as another person mentioned in the Orwellian mode so it isn't decipherable.

Is it city and policing policy? Is it the drugs are just too strong and people are beyond help or being expected to have any agency? I really don't understand why this is going on in this direction? I think that politicians are are tied in their own knot and don't know a way out.

No, it's not about land, but about people. Russians use casette bombs in cities [1], try to circle and lock cities while continuing to bomb them [2]. Russian pilots know they bomb civil buildings following the orders and continue doing so [3].

> Genocide is the intentional destruction of a people, usually defined as an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group.

Lots of stuff. For "pure news" New York Times, Seattle Times, Bloomberg Businessweek, The Economist, Wall Street Journal, The Guardian. Lots of somewhat more general interest subscriptions also have news angles like Slate Plus, The New Yorker, New York Review of Books, London Review of Books, Harpers, Literary Review, ProPublica, New York Magazine, some Substacks. I realize this is a lot (and is only a partial list) but pretty much all of these listed ones have various interesting pieces I wasn't finding anywhere else. Whereas WP felt very "cable news" to me, just giving article after article on the latest stuff happening at the White House. I can get that elsewhere and am already not interested in most cases.
I guess there are many who would like to work part time, however that requires a different working structure.

Often there is a specific amount of meetings happening, especially in senior staff. Whether or not you work part-time that number typically stays constant (weekly manager 1-1, product meetings, daily scrum, whatever) also the amount of general company spam and administrative topics one has to keep an eye on is constant.

Thus if one goes from fulltime to part time, the only thing one can reduce is the part where the "actual" work happens, in consequence going part-time means doing even less actual work in a day, which can make one feel even worse.

The way out is to really strip down meetings and all those things to the required amount, which helps any organisation, but often isn't easy.

The amount of completely nonsensical hatred and banning of Russians that's so fervently supported is astonishing. Chess players, athletes, professors, banning pre-modern authors. Really, what's the point?

Even if this particular situation is a hoax, it's not like other Russians haven't been banned.
I wish you would just be honest and say you are trying to assist people in _gambling_.

Investing is the world I have grown to absolutely hate. Like, you can't know how much I hate that word. Just like all the crypto "investing".

It's all about people trying to get rich in something they have zero control over. And the only people who can even benefit from this gambling are people who already have enough capital for it to make any difference, so it just continues to help the already well off be even more well off, while the people without capital are left behind.

The world would be infinitely better off without the services you are trying to provide.

My System76 laptop came with a year of warranty I think, and I never used it. I think there were 2 and 3 year extensions available when purchasing, but I never buy the warranty for anything. However, 3 years after I purchased it I emailed support for a software question and got a great response from them and they spent a good amount of back-and-forth (emails) time helping me diagnose the issue and resolving it, even outside of the service window. That's just my experience, YMMV.
