Hitler didn't start out running concentration camps, there was a long lead up to that. The Knight of Long Knives, where 'opponents' of the Nazis were assassinated was in 1934. Kristallnacht happened in late 1938. There are a number of similarities between Hitler and Putin, and we may yet see the beginning of pogroms against Jews, but I would say that the bans on homosexuality are showing us where this ends up going.

Putin also seems to be bent on returning to a former empire (see Third Reich comparisons).
If there was one thing I would love for Blender to add is to have a way to scale selections to a specific size. Right now there's literally no way to do it except splitting it out as a separate object and then doing it via geometry bounds. The ruler tool is also so hard to limit to a specific axis and a general pain to use.

Like is it so hard to always draw some text for all 3 axis to say what the selection bounds are? I'm perplexed that none of the so called CAD plugins didn't add this as a first order of business, but they bothered adding something as useless as an outline renderer.

When I need anything that's dimensionally accurate in Blender I have to set up and scale the critical parts in Tinkercad first, then import into Blender to finish it up properly ffs.
Imagine all the time and energy wasted having all these popular programming languages re-inventing and -implementing the same features over and over again and people discussing and arguing about them.

I’m so curious about the sound issue. They have this roadmap pointing towards passenger planes, and I want to know the solution to not destroying the sanity of innocent Oklahomans!

Assuming that that just isn’t all just happy marketing masking a more likely military oriented roadmap, as another commenter suggested.

Yeah, I used their official image also.

If all cli tools were available as officially supported docker images, 'dockerized' would probably not need to exist, other than just a bash function (and something else for windows).

Unfortunately it's not the case, and many tools only come in zipped binaries, or must be compiled.

An alternative approach would have been to make docker images for all cli tools, and publish them. But the burden of maintenance would be quite a bit higher, and it would still be unclear for users which images to use for each cli tool.
well, was referring to the research indicated by the title of the article- honeypot setup to detect malicious exit relays.

yes thats the one. interesting, seems they caught 15 unique relays harvesting logins. There seems to be scope to improve reporting and detection of malicious actors like this. They also have a block list on Tor's gitlab repo but doesn't seem to be up to date.
>Instead he’s bombing Ukraine into the ground including hospitals.

Was that the main objective? As a 30+ y-o, I'm familiar with collateral damages but they usually result from the US or their allies. Why would this bombing be considered differently, especially if Russia use less precise weapons (for lack of other options).

>I’m not quite sure if you are saying this is natos fault, but the level of escalation here from Putin is ridiculous.

What did NATO do with regard to every Russian requests regarding neutral states between NATO and Russia? Do you remember how the US reacted when the USSR put missiles in Cuba?
Congrats on the launch! Looks awesome
The truth is Putin's troops invaded Ukraine and are killing innocent people every hour. And it's obvious that each day of this aggression will make this number higher and higher.
Again, I'm not sure how dumb bombing entire cities that haven't been evacuated, maternity/childrens wards, and fleeing civilians _doesn't_ qualify as genocide, but I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

I think the definition of genocide is very clear and after watching the daily footage from Ukraine, it's quite difficult to make the argument that there isn't intent to wipe out a large portion of the population systematically. Yeah, their names aren't in a spreadsheet maybe, yet, but this is just beginning.
NATO equipment is proliferating on his doorstep because he keeps invading his neighbors. What do you think is going to happen now that he's not just nibbled at the corner, but done a full-scale bloody invasion? Everyone who possibly can will join NATO and be armed to he hilt.

Seriously, this is completely psycho ex-boyfriend territory. "You provoked me by getting new friends and trying to get a restraining order against me. So really this is your fault."
That is really great! I wonder if Blender would adopt some of these CAD features into the official software. Even animators must need to do more technical designs at times right?
Because Ukraine are clearly playing a very good social media game, and on social media words like Hitler and genocide work very well.
> But you are, I think, retreating to a position that, because the JavaScript && operator shortcircuits (ie does not evaluate the second operand of the first operand is truthy) it is always a control flow

I’m not retreating to anything. This was my only point and I explicitly said so.

> a point which I can sort of agree with, but which I think is just a weak position, since it doesn’t help us make decisions about what code is good or bad.

I’m not trying to change the world with the point. Just to establish the basic fact.
I'd frequently get stuck behind buses, box trucks, and vehicles towing trailers. It's astounding how the latter two are allowed. I somewhat understand municipal buses in an effort to ensure more people ride, and it wouldn't be as annoying if it weren't coupled with the other two.

Also, absolutely zero of the standard base of Duck Duck Go users are the kind of people who don't understand what a Russian state controlled news site is, and why one would have to be careful reading it. Those people may well exist, but they would be using Google. This move makes their disdain for their users obvious.

There is now no reason to be using Duck Duck Go over startpage.com, which also doesn't track you, but gives you the results straight from google, which are always much better than duck duck go.
I used to feel that way, then noticed my friend driving a Tesla. He had this neat use for the LCD that showed a map of where all the cars around him was as output from the sensors. Yes, theoretically, on a traditional car you can adjust the mirrors so you have no blind spot and check them all religiously before lane changes and the like - but I still felt he had more awareness of who was in what lane than someone in a traditional car would have.

What about the data they collect outside of your app. The point is that you cannot say anything about that, but it sounds like you do, which is false advertising.

A simple example is analytics
Just last year Stripe wouldn't even allow any crypto business to be their customers. You could not use Stripe if you business was crypto related. A client of mine had to switch implementation to checkout.com because of that. I wonder what changed...
Just recently moved from Stripe to Paddle after realizing their new tax collection stuff locked out a bunch of my customers--it only supports credit card transactions, not Apple Pay or Google or any of the EU payment options, and Stripe has no ETA on fixing this. With the tax bits, I still have to file and worry about thresholds too, so I switched to Paddle. On top of completely eliminating the tax remittance crap, I also have PayPal support now (highly requested by customers, especially international).
You can generally migrate out of TS very easily if it was the wrong choice. You can mostly use the compiler output as a drop-in replacement for your source code. Depending on compiler options, it's quite readable.

I fully agree with cautioning people not to get consumed with hate/revenge or to project Putin/supporters' faults on all Russians, but it's quite a bit more complicated even among the folks who "agree that the war is horrible" will, over the course of a few exchanges, begin arguing that western aggression/expansionism forced Putin's hand and he's really just defending Russian sovereignty. Or else they "agree that the war is horrible" but then fixate on how bad the sanctions are and how the west is so awful for imposing those sanctions. So it definitely feels like a lot of the Russians who "agree that the war is horrible" don't really mean it, or at least implicitly think the Ukrainians have it good compared to the sanctioned Russians. Of course, there are Russians who sincerely think the war is horrible--they're out protesting bravely (criticizing the war is punishable by 15 years in prison per a new "misinformation" law); however, few of the Russians I've talked to who "oppose the war" have anything good to say about these protesters.
You can convert TS to JS at the drop of a hat. This is part of what’s required to get it to run a browser, which doesn’t understand native TS. It’s different to Coffeescript which was different syntax for JS. TS is additional, type-specific syntax but you are still writing JS.

I ran a team that had to maintain a large Coffee codebase, that we could never get the resources to move off. So I know that pain. TS is different, both in how it works and the level of adoption. Coffeescript was always niche, and some benefits were there but they weren’t game-changing for (eg) writing correct code or maintaining large codebases.
Still use it myself as well... I like it less warm than macOS's night mode, and since I'm a night owl I get to make f.lux start its color change later than sunset.
Part of the issue is that cars can't really differentiate on shape, and therefore go overboard to differentiate on styling.

Europe has strict rules about pedestrian safety - placing requirements on the shape of the front of the car to minimise damage to pedestrians on impact. Between that and the desire for low drag (for efficiency) there aren't really that many solutions. This means that most cars in Europe look fundamentally quite similar in overall shape, particularly bonnet curve at the front.
Any extension that injects JS on the page on arbitrary sites, is marked as having access to all data—because it does. But it's the only way that interface-modifying extensions can work, if you want them kick in automatically.

California doesn't set Turo's toll policies, and many states have implemented automated tolling, so your list of states to live in in going to get smaller and smaller.

I think the biggest problem with automated tolling is that every state has their own independent system -- the federal government should enforce one standard, so I can use my toll reader on any toll road in the country.

Oh hey, I was looking to see if there was a multi-state toll tag and it sounds like the US government did pass a law requiring interoperability, but this linked website doesn't appear to sell this "nationalpass", so I don't know what happened to the law:

https://www.nationalpass.net/

Toll Interoperability by 2016

H.R.4348 - MAP-21

In 2012, Congress passed the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) to ease the burden of tolled interstate travel by providing motorists the convenience of a single toll tag and account.
>Right now, anyone can get their Engineering degree, complete an apprenticeship, and open a firm.

Great, then we should see that. We don't, because that's not true. To "open a firm" with all that red tape requires a great deal of people, namely lawyers and other engineers. That's big money, and it looks bad in comparison to the larger company that, again, gets to set all the rules for you.

Certifications are junk. They're a belief system the same as religion. All anyone has to do to be an engineer is get a degree. Do you see how many people have advanced degrees and have nothing but air between their ears? Yeah, I wouldn't trust them to make a popsicle stick bridge.

The reason for all the certs, degrees and requirements is control from the largest of corps. They want to set the standard to prevent competition and convince people they are the safe and effective option. You can't compete unless you play their game.
What happens if Kable service is down for some reason?
I'm reminded of Honda Motorcycle and its habit of making odd small-run bikes, such as the Valkyrie Rune or the NM4 Vultus. Both of those are in the premium segment of an already premium market (at least in the US/UK/etc) but it's great seeing a major manufacturer do something cool and weird. A bit like a rolling concept vehicle.

I'd love to see more of that in the car market, and I'm curious what prevents it. Safety standards might be a big part of that - of course motorbikes have very little in the way of safety systems or crash test requirements, which probably massively reduces the investment required for small-run vehicles.

Maintainability might also be part of it: there's just more stuff in a car which might have to be located and packaged differently for a different body shape, which affects anybody who has to work on it, requires a bunch of service manuals to be written, might even require spare parts to be stocked for decades, etc.
RIPE NCC Response to Request from Ukrainian Government
This doesn't come as surprising since they have timed this with Biden's executive order on regulating cryptocurrencies, so this is probably why you are seeing Stripe pushing Crypto right now.

Also, all smaller cryptocurrency on ramp businesses are doomed.
> It should be noted that sanctions have done nothing to change the behavior of North Korea's leadership to be more palatable to the West.

Sanctions aren't chosen because they are effective at changing behavior, but because they limit capacity if they fail to change behavior. The sanctions on Russia are not “we believe Putin will behave in response to the sanctions” but “we intend to destroy Russia’s economy and thereby limit it's ability to engage in aggression until and unless we are convinced that Putin has made a durable course correction.”
I tried it when I saw a recommendation from the (US) National Academy of Sciences to look into it more because the anecdata looked promising. I agree with you: The result of looking into it more doesn't seem as good as the promise.
No one is better positioned to end this than the Russian people. I don't see how they can be absolved of that responsibility.
The NATO expansion angle seems like a distraction. The rambling speech Putin gave at the outset of the invasion outlined his pet theory that Ukraine is part of broader Russia and that he doesn't see them as a separate people. He's long said that the dissolution of the USSR was the greatest catastrophe in Russian history. It's pretty clear that his aim is a revanchist restoration of historical Russian territory.

It is also worth noting that NATO does not expand by invasion or recruitment. Member nations all have to apply to join and be democracies, meaning that at least notionally their people have to want to be in NATO. And why would former Soviet Republic want to be in NATO? Most of them say it's because they're afraid of Russian invasion. It's worth noting that Russia has recently invaded Chechnya, Georgia, and Ukraine. Those fears don't spring from a place of pure paranoia.

It also seems unrealistic that there will be long term alignment between Russia and China, they're natural rivals. Russia still holds contested territory that used to be part of China. Even under the Soviet system they tolerated each other at best, and entered into armed conflict in 1969. China officially calls that conflict an act of Russian aggression, even after hammering out a deal with Lavrov in 2008.

You used to be able to shop for a "work truck" or van from Ford or GM which would be bare-bones. Manual transmission, manual windows, no AC, no carpet, simple vinyl floor and upholstery.

Similar features may be available in an SUV or sedan but I've never seen one; would probably be a special order or maybe only available to fleet purchasers.

I haven't bought a brand new car in over 20 years so I don't know if you can still get cars like this. Rear cameras are now mandatory, so all new cars will have a screen. And if they have a screen anyway, adding more features to it is likely to happen.
Distances driven in the US are often much higher as well. People I know regularly commute 30 to 60 minutes one way to get to work. Some tradesmen I know are driving 2 hours to get to the jobsite.

> How do you know the sanctions on North Korea haven’t changed anything? It’s impossible to know what their behavior would have been in an alternate reality without sanctions.

But it is possible to know that their behavior continues to be extremely unacceptable to the West. So if your goal with sanctions is to stop the invasion of Ukraine and to get Russia to stop threatening its neighbors with similar, it's very likely that sanctions won't work.

IMHO, sanctions are something the West does when it doesn't want to solve a problem but still wants to feel like it's doing something.

I also think sanctions will end up being counterproductive. They'll fail to address the military situation AND geopolitically they'll push Russia into a deeper alliance with China, strengthening the latter.

You've already seen an example of that with Belarus. A few years ago it got sanctioned and its leader was forced to turn to Russia for help. Now it's militarily supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Alternatively, this is (arguably) the most paradigmatic example of genocide on European soil since the post-Yugoslav wars: the official line of the Russian government is that there is no such thing as a "Ukrainian people," only a "little Russia" (Malorossiya) that has no distinct identity, and the war is intended to destroy the Ukrainian nation itself and absorb it through violence into Russia, through some combination of direct absorption and tightly-controlled puppet states.

This is hardly unprecedented in Russian-Ukrainian relations, even in the last century; in a 1953 speech, Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term "genocide" and foundationally established international law against it, called the Holodomor and post-Holodomor Soviet control of Ukraine "the classic example of Soviet genocide ... the destruction of the Ukrainian nation. [I]f the Soviet program succeeds completely, if the intelligentsia, the priests, and the peasants can be eliminated, Ukraine will be as dead as if every Ukrainian were killed, for it will have lost that part of it ... which, in short, made it a nation rather than a mass of people."

I bought a Yaris as my first car to go as cheap as possible. Even electrics were more expensive despite the tax breaks. My Dad felt like a new one would break down less than a used one too which is why we avoided used.

Yaris worked well in general. I'm not surprised it's popular with college kids. It was pretty bothersome, though, how at the lowest trim level they even disabled things like cruise control. I'm three times older than any college kid and it made my ankle ache on long drives.

The Russian people are the only ones that can stop this. It’s their fight, they created their government.
well, I for one hope that the world changed forever, and the wars are now economic and cybernetic. Russia with late middle age tactics and 20th century fascism can just be walled off for all I care. When they evolve to present day they should be allowed out.
