> Russia invading another European country and us breaking up all ties with them is not "cancel culture". We're not doing it because someone's feelings got hurt. There's an actual war going on, with very real people dying. Calling our reaction to it "cancel culture" strikes me as dismissive, offensive almost(yes I'm offended at your use of the phrase cancel culture to describe this).

First of all, I already said that I support your position of cancelling Russia. Yes, I agree that Russia's offensive war-mongering is horrible, and the situation in Ukraine is extremely bleak with millions of people suffering because of Russia's actions. I agree that severe economic sanctions and voluntarily imposed boycotts and other non-violent pressure can help put an end to this war (either by pressuring Russians to overthrow the government, or by pressuring the oligarchs to convince Putin to back down, or simply by draining Putin's economy so he is unable to pay soldiers at some point in the future). It appears to me that we agree on what the facts are, and we agree what should be done about it, but you are offended at my choice of words.

Ok, so let's talk about the terminology. You imply that there are situations where proponents of cancel culture propose "cancelling" somebody because of "hurt feelings". Can you point to a single example in the history of humanity where this has actually occurred? No, you can't, because the proponents of cancel culture have an obsession of re-naming everything. In particular, they vehemently oppose the phrasing "cancel culture", they never use that term, unless it's in a sentence where they deny it exists or deny to be participants in it. And they most certainly won't describe the motivations for cancelling someone with the description of "hurt feelings". Show me a single example of a person genuinely saying "yes cancel culture is great, and we should cancel person X because they hurt person Y's feelings". You can't.

Here you are, defending the decision to cancel cats from a cat show. I agree with that decision, but that isn't enough for you; you want me to describe these actions with weasel words instead of calling it what it is.

It's clunkier yes (requires editing the static filters list by hand), but you might get used to it. My own list is huge (~700 lines across 75 web properties) and took some time to create, but now I only have to touch it once a month on average.
This is usually done by setting the variable in the ECU for top speed. Tuning software (which was already used on this vehicle to mod it) like hptuners can change this in 1 minute. So it is easy.

At what point do moderate citizens of Russia, who don't support the war, become so poor, beat down, Nihilistic, that they delude themselves into believing the propaganda that all their misery is because of evil Western/U.S. hegemony. These escalating sanctions that end livelihoods are arguably adding to Russia's military reservists and Kremlin loyalists. If that happens to the creative class then it's reasonable to conclude there are no dissenters remaining.

I was never allowed to play D&D back in the 80's. My mom believed witchcraft existed and I was never able to convince her otherwise after a lifetime of arguing and so many psychological strategies. She recently died, taking her ignorance with her to the grave.

You can't convince these people. The "marketplace of ideas" is a failure. It doesn't work. Some wounds never heal. Once someone gets some stupid and wrong idea in their brain they will never be free of it. Like lead poisoning, it will never go away.

You won't get an argument about that from me. I was merely pointing out that the legal landscape is already filled with land mines.

> But "poor grammar" specifically seeks to attribute a negative connotation to the utterance. It says suggest that people who construct such utterances are, somehow, uneducated, or else are outsiders. It says that they've done something that is objectively (not subjectively) incorrect or wrong.

You're completely ignoring that people do make mistakes and get corrected. There is nothing in the post you originally replied to implying that anyone is uneducated or an outsider - you're introducing that. "Poor grammar", "bad grammar" and "incorrect grammar" are interchangeable and aren't about class.

If I accidentally type "Eat I bread", it's incorrect grammar even if there happens to be some dialect somewhere where it is valid.

Not so fast. It is emissions regulations that dictate it. I like driving cars fast, but locking down emissions to the chagrin of every car guy scratching their head online saying "why did it used to be better?" makes me happy.

> But in general, SPIR-V, as a standard, has two quite different “profiles” to accommodate the needs of graphics like Vulkan and compute like OpenCL. These two “profiles” correspond to the capabilities in the Shader and Kernel tree respectively. They have quite different approaches towards memory models, runtime shader/kernel ABI etc. For the Shader side, it’s using logical addressing mode where we have abstract pointers (no physical size, cannot store into memory by default, etc.) and generally rely on indices to access nested structures. There are quite a lot of requirements on how resources are represented (e.g., using structs with special decorations) and how they match across shader stages (vertex/geometry/fragment/etc.). For the Kernel side, it’s using physical addressing mode, where it’s more akin to LLVM’s approach towards pointers and you can do all sorts of casting. Resources and interfaces are also simpler, without the need to match multiple shader stages and interact with fixed-function stages. So to me, among the two, the Kernel side is more of a fit to go through LLVM flow. Letting the Shader side go through LLVM you might need to fight hard with LLVM transformations assuming more of the Kernel mentality, e.g., recovering structured control flow, handling convergence, threading decorations needed through various layers, etc. Some of the issues have been discussed for a long time in the community and I’m not sure we have a good answer towards them even today.

Note that part of the thread specifically deals with the issues of SPIR-V being split into two different profiles (Shader for graphics and Kernel for compute APIs).

The Shader dialect, which is used for OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan, is not exactly especially practical for general GPGPU use.

It's the Achilles' heel of Vulkan compute and significantly affects this effort too.

> Well Russia has about 6000 nukes

But closer to 1500 operationally deployed, and if they should launch any significant number of them, a substantial portion of the rest of the operationally deployed nukes in the world will be landing in Russia targeted and destroying any capacity they have to use any they have that weren't ready and deployed in the first strike.

Which is why if they use any significant number, even as a first strike, it will largely be for a counterforce strike doing the same thing to other nuclear powers, because who wants to be in a bunker without usable nukes when the guys you just nuked are in their bunker with usable nukes.
The tragic story of Egbert that seems to have given rise to a lot of the panic left me bothered. He made one suicide attempt by pill but survived, disappearing for a while, and then several months later his second attempt (gunshot to the head) resulted in him being taken to the hospital, where he died 5 days later. Honestly, the fact that they tried to save his life, putting him on life support at the hospital, after he had shot himself in the head was absolutely cruel IMHO.

As Ukrainian, who was very (pleasantly) surprised at ineptitude of Russian military I changed my mind about nuclear war recently...

Of course hindsight is always 20/20, but even before the war I had the arguments with some of my friends that modern Russia cannot produce anything at a modern world class level. How it can be possible if they pay 40k RUB to Senior Engineers working in military or space organizations, while you can get 90k RUB working as a "Sales Consultant" in electronics store. Add to this the record levels of corruption; inept leadership being assigned because of their political affiliation, rather than knowledge and experience (just check Rogozin) and you will find hard not to agree with me.

This incompetence manifests itself at all levels - starting from glorious leader Putin, who managed to convert pro-Russian Ukraine into the "NATO state" in less than 20 years; secret agents, who cannot kill a person without leaving a radioactive trace throughout the whole country and the success of "military operation" we see now.

Anyhow, obviously I'd prefer not to test my assumptions, but I believe that Russia has no hypersonic missiles - they planned to have it in production in summer, 2022 and we know what it means in Kremlin-speak. So far it's all cartoons, like their new 5th-gen aircrafts and MBTs. And I am quite confident that the vast majority of their warheads and missiles are long gone...

Here in the US there are definitely people that uninstall-reinstall equipment to do emissions checks so I imagine that might not be the biggest risk, but in one of the comments on the article it also mentions that you could still be pulled over for speeding if someone sees you going over 55 and could likely lose your license.
Or just reinstall it for inspections.
As some commenters pointed out, the resulting Bazooka would have a decent chance of killing/maiming the operator, and a negligible chance of doing anything to the intended target.

There's a rumor that some three-letter agencies surreptitiously published "subversive" literature containing explosives-related recipes of this ilk in the hope that people inclined to build bombs would use the recipes to take themselves out of the gene pool.
> Change their flag to the Ukrainian one (or the UN or whatever else)

Ships don't fly flags to signal patriotism or some other virtue. They fly the civil ensigns of the country where they are registered as a matter of international law.

Good luck trying to register a Russian owned ship in Ukraine in the present circumstances.
I don't think this is a niche issue though.

Yes, absolutely.

The difference when dropping it on Brussels is 3rd degree burns over half of Belgium (26000 km²) vs. just a bit further than Brussels' suburbs (2000 km²).

That's something like 8 million people directly affected vs. 2 million people, which seems quite significant.
I think the difference is I don’t have kids. I would like to think I want kids but there is no way I can afford having kids especially given I’m not sure if I can even afford to retire.

I don’t understand the way of thinking of people millennials and later who aren’t at least millionaires who choose to (not counting accidental pregnancies) have children.
It is very much possible that they are "going easy" on Ukraine. Unlike the western media reports, they are clearly targeting strategic locations to bomb( with some civilian casualties ) and they are not advancing faster than they could.

To summarise, They may not be in bad shape, they seem to be reluctant to use force against their neighbour.
I started this expecting to be disappointed, but I really like all of the principles they're describing. I've been pushing for more of this attitude at my own company.
It's not arbitrary. The weight and speed have external impacts on road durability as well as air quality. Compare the amount of carbon dioxide released by a truck of that size and most other residential polluting machines and it doesn't come close.

If you want to push the cost of your hobby onto society by commiting tax fraud I don't think it's the democratically elected legislature that's at issue here.

Ah, thanks for that clarification. I see that your tutorial is using the Avnet Ultra96 V2 dev board. Do you have anything that would work with a Raspberry Pi? Maybe some kind of FPGA addon board? Or do you feel that the Raspberry Pi isn't a good starting point for developing a real commercial product?
Survival instincts are strong tho, suicide would be a lot more prevalent in war zones and heavily impoverished regions if the will to live didn't most often prevail on terrible living situations. As horrifying as the thought of a nuclear collapse of civilization would be, I'm sure there would be something worth living for on the other side - assuming you're somewhere that remains remotely livable and don't die a week later from body melting radiation poisoning or from famine within two months... which I guess is likely in most places, maybe it's my non-urban Canadian bias and irrational optimism (I'm doubtful this scenario equates a carpet-atomic-bombing of Earth's surface) speaking.
I watched a great documentary about D&D... a bunch of kids played it, and one of them got kidnapped,.. then they met this girl with superpowers, and a jock, and something something monsters, other worlds, etc... it was really scary, 1/10, would not recommend playing D&D just because that might happen to you too!
it might be said a little aggressively, but the point remains.

there is ZERO reason to be buying (or producing) vehicles like this. climate change is seriously happening for real, and this is like flicking off everybody who gives a shit for no reason.

Same, center left here too. It feels like a cult trying to purify itself. We're impure and must be cast out. I believe, however, that it's a very loud minority that is scaring the rest of us into silence. So it appears larger than it is.
Absolutely.

It probably depends on how the war escalated to a nuclear exchange and whether it's a first strike or a second strike. In a first strike, the goal would be to take out the enemy nuclear arsenal as quickly as possible ("counterforce") to prevent retaliation, so in that case we would hope that all or almost all of the warheads would be targeted at remote missile bases. But you need a large number of accurate missiles to do that, so if you don't have those you're stuck targeting cities ("countervalue") for deterrence.

It doesn't seem like the U.S, Russia, or China have a hardline commitment to any particular response. If there are tit-for-tat attempts at limited escalation and deescalation, they need to be flexible.

Regardless, you need multiple warheads per target for reliability reasons, so if there's a massive nuclear war, you can probably expect a quick death rather than a slow one.
If it's just a matter of tuning the computer (most likely), all the owner needs to do before inspection is plug the tuner back into the ODB-II port and reset the computer to factory settings. Super easy.

Few days ago, I spent quite a few hours trying to make `apk update` work for alpine on WSL2 on Windows. It didn't want to resolve dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org within alpine. Did resolve on host ubuntu.

1. WFH from VPN, firstly I had to lower mtu from 1500 to 1392 (My VPN specific issue) https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4698

2. Next, I had to run some powershell script that updates /etc/resolv.conf to use my VPN DNS (WSL specific stuff) https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/1350

3. And I still don't know if apk works properly. Kind of works in Docker build, but I have a feeling something not quite right.

See this example. Why does it "hang"? Docker command not exiting

docker run -it alpine:3.15 apk update
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.15/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz

Now, doing it within container itself, works:

docker run -it alpine:3.15 sh
/ # apk update
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.15/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
