That could be said of anything, military or not. An object, by its presence, influences the world around it. If you are talking about the deterrent effect of mutually assured destruction, I again point out that we don't really have the data. A war between large powers is likely to be devastating even if nuclear weapons are never used and that doesn't seem to deter aggression over a long enough timeline.

I don't disagree that an escalation scenario is possible or even likely. It probably is, but I don't think the term "always" really takes into account either the breadth of possibilities or human nature. Part of the problem is that we still frame this in a very binary "Western Europe vs. Eastern Europe" way. If Iran or North Korea fired a nuclear warhead, I don't think that it would necessarily provoke a nuclear response, but an overwhelming conventional response. It's unlikely that either has enough warheads to provoke an all out nuclear conflict and they could likely be overwhelmed conventionally. Our desire not to enter into a catastrophic conflict is probably quite high.

Obviously I'd really like there to be no possibility of this occurring.

My theory is that these regrets eat you from the inside anyways. So the deathbed event is not a hallucination of sorts, but it happens because the dying lets go of their everyday worries and other such things, so their real motivations and inclinations crop up. And if they haven't acted on them, to a level that would be satisfying to them, then it leads to regret. As if they haven't lived their lives true to themselves. Which begs the question of the point of living too, of course. To which I have no clear answer.

Messaging middleware such as queues is mostly redundant. Simplistically -

Client --

If you cache a new submission (message) locally before submitting, you just keep re-submitting until the server returns an ACK for that submission; and your local cache is empty.

Scale clients out as needed.

Server --

If a message is received in good order, return an ACK.

If a message is a duplicate, discard the message and return an ACK.

If a message can only be received once, discard if it already exists on the server, and return an ACK.

If a message is invalid, return a FAIL.

Scale hardware out or up, as needed (ref. "capacity, item 2 in the linked blog post above). Scale queues out by adding service endpoints on the server. Async/await makes the client experience painless. You save your employer $$ because no additional procurement contracts, no licensing fees, no additional server-side infrastructure to run queues, and no consultancy fees to set up and operate Rabbit MQ/Tibco/IBM MQ/Amazon SQS/Azure Queue Storage or whatever other queueing solution the org uses.

Message passing includes concepts auch as durability, security policies, message filtering,delivery policies, routing policies, batching, and so on. The above can support all of that and, if your scenario calls for it, none of it.

The financial argument reduces to dev time vs. procurement, deployment and operational costs of whatever 3rd party product is used, as well as integration, of course.

The government sanctions are relatively well targeted at the Russian powers; it's all these companies running around and doing "virtue sanctions" that are hitting civilians.

> I do wonder if this has an effect of encouraging the segments of society that don't plan so well

From the POV of climate destruction the segments that don't plan so well, or to put it more bluntly, who plan and act so badly that they're strongly disproportionately responsible for the problem are those that the progressive consumption tax (and general wealth taxation) adresses: the wealthiest.

US style welfare provisions have three flaws at the same time. It is
(1) not generous enough to escape the costly everyday scarcity tax*
(2) spiked with time-wasting conditions and bureaucratic procedures and
(3) politically and socially stigmatized. The US should transition to the northern european welfare state model which works better in all those three regards.

To the conspiratorial mind-set the world is orchestrated. Nothing happens by chance or due to the chaotic nature of life. All is planned and controlled. Putin is orchestrating everything, starting a war just to have sanctions enacted to do what he is not unilaterally able to do,) toward the end goal (like 3D chess moves,) of establishing a CBDC and isolating Russia from the west completely. (Or making a political axis of Russia / China and buffer states.)

I'd argue that comments only serve to help the developer. And when using JSX, the generated HTML might not look pretty (such as being a single, long line). So an HTML style comment in the JSX should be stripped because debugging the minified HTML isn't something people generally do.

And if, for some reason, you wanted to inject an HTML comment into the output, you could abuse the `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` prop like this:

function Comment(props)
{
return <span dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: `<!-- ${props.comment} -->` }} />;
}

Then use it like this:

...
<Comment comment="my comment" />

I think you're missing the forest for the trees. It's one thing to store the lyrics in the file, but the entire UX around the use of those lyrics is pratically non-existent.

Storing the text is the easy part. Procuring files with lyrics baked in or adding lyrics to your pre-existing library is another. And so far, almost no music player supports them, their UI isn't necessarily optimized for displaying lyrics, and there is no widespread standard for their format.
As someone who had worked with both research and procurement agencies in the Canadian government, I'm surprised the author was able to hold their tongue until the middle of the article.

You're right, that was a rough take. My presentation of LMAX was to simply provide a different perspective over this space.

What I was trying to get at is the specific memory access patterns, batching effects and other nuances related to the physical construction of the CPU which modulate the actual performance of these things. I think this quote better summarizes what I was trying to convey:

> When consumers are waiting on an advancing cursor sequence in the ring buffer an interesting opportunity arises that is not possible with queues. If the consumer finds the ring buffer cursor has advanced a number of steps since it last checked it can process up to that sequence without getting involved in the concurrency mechanisms. This results in the lagging consumer quickly regaining pace with the producers when the producers burst ahead thus balancing the system. This type of batching increases throughput while reducing and smoothing latency at the same time. Based on our observations, this effect results in a close to constant time for latency regardless of load, up until the memory sub-system is saturated, and then the profile is linear following Little’s Law. This is very different to the “J” curve effect on latency we have observed with queues as load increases.
Obviously nothing is monocausal, but it seems like the link with lead here is best supported by evidence among the things you've listed. It holds constant across several countries and cultures where those other factors are quite different. Western Europe wasn't throwing up prisons and enacting 3-strike laws, but saw similar declines in crime. You can find similar counter examples around abortion access as well. Those thing probably contribute, but the effect size of removing lead from the environments seem really large!
The analogy is as accurate as an analogy can be, but let's not debate analogies lest we get mired in pedantry. Let's talk about Russia: by not invading Ukraine and needlessly slaughtering civilians, Russia was able to enjoy the privilege of participation in a global economy and all of the entailed prosperity. When Russia chose to opt out of the global economy, its domestic economy predictably tanked. Sanctions are one of a few options at the west's disposal for preventing the slaughter of Ukrainian civilians without risking escalation toward a nuclear war.

Ideally Russians would understand that sanctions are a consequence of their government's murderous invasion and that they represent a mild inconvenience compared to the plight of Ukrainians--if a given Russian can't muster the courage to protest (yes, I understand protests are illegal, which makes those who do protest all the more commendable) then I hope he can muster the courage not to complain about sanctions (similarly I hope westerners can muster the courage not to complain about high gas prices and so on).
It makes me chuckle when people dismiss the industry-defining success of Apple marketing.
The joke I like is:

You have a problem so you implement a queue. Now you have two problems.

It succiently illustrates the problem because you should build your application to account for the queue being down. So you still have your original problem of what do I do if I can't process everything I need to.

"The worst impact would come in the mid-latitudes, including breadbasket areas such as the US Midwest and >> Ukraine <<. Grain reserves would be gone in a year or two.

It is the most detailed look ever at how the aftermath of a nuclear war would affect food supplies, he says. The researchers did not explicitly calculate how many people would starve, but say that the ensuing famine would be worse than any in documented history."

Is HTML a programming language? (A: Yes)
The Twitter links I'm putting here don't seem to work for me at least, so here's some context from tweets made by @christogrozev on March 7 about an intercepted discussion between the Russians about the death of Gen. Maj. Vitaly Gerassimov.

The Russian Military of Defense introduced an encrypted communications platform named Era back in 2021. It's supposed to work everywhere, but apparently it has a dependency on 3G. Russians have destroyed many 3G cell towers in Kharkiv and deployed stingrays, which has inadvertently stopped Era from working for many of their forces.

Per the discussion in the intercepted call, the FSB officer assigned to the 41st Army informs his boss that they've lost all secure communication.
OP is right, nevertheless.
This. I will take more than a decade of majority-sales being EV to convert the fleet. That's MORE than enough time to steadily upgrade the grid.
yeah, that's why you are hitting people who don't want to have nothing to do with the Russian economy at all.
>two million Ukrainians have already decided to forfeit the game outright rather than stay and/or fight.

Mostly women, children, and the elderly. All Ukrainian men aged 18 to 60 are prohibited from leaving the country.

>All throughout history a minority decides on war and a majority either huddles or flees

2 million is far from a majority of Ukrainians. I don't know if this includes the number of people held up at border crossings, and doubt it includes those waiting for transportation. But it's still unlikely the majority, even if counting those groups.

>So you tell me what it is that "the Ukrainian people" wish.

They tell us. Right before the invasion, very few Ukrainians wanted to join Russia[0]. Another poll[1] conducted last week showed:

>>Only 11 per cent of Ukrainians agreed “if I could leave Ukraine safely tomorrow for another country I would.” Nearly seven in 10 (69 per cent) strongly disagreed. Only one in 20 (five per cent) of those aged 65 or over said they would leave if they could.

And:

>>Indeed, 67 per cent said they would be willing to take up arms to defend the country against Russian troops, with a further seven per cent saying they were already doing so. 85 per cent of men and 63 per cent of women said they had already taken up arms or were willing to do so.

Many Houston neighborhoods are quite livable on foot and bike, if you don't mind a little perspiration. There are shops and restaurants scattered all around, sidewalks, even some multiuse trails.

The mainstream culture is still overwhelmingly automobile-centric, though. Travel to your place of work, or to any particular shop/restaurant, will likely require a car.

...Somewhat related: In Houston I lived within walking distance of two grocery stores, Kroger and Fiesta. A lot of customers walked to these stores, and they'd often use the store's shopping carts to transport purchases back home. So naturally the stores were always losing carts.

Kroger solved this problem by installing an electronic geofence and a wheel lock mechanism on each shopping cart, so they couldn't leave the parking lot.

Fiesta hired a man in a pickup truck to cruise the neighborhood and bring the empty carts back. And customers cooperated by leaving the carts near the road. IIRC different Fiesta stores marked their carts with different bright neon colors, so they could be returned to the correct store if they wandered afield.

Anytime I wanted to buy more than I could carry, of course, I'd go to Fiesta. (This was years ago; it's probably all razed for condo development now.)
That's pretty much how Dask works; though Dask doesn't throw away data types for newline-delimited strings between each failed partitioned IPC pipeline process, and then the new hire didn't appropriately trap errors in their shell script, so the log messages are chronologically non-sequential and text-only.

The UK currently has about 15GW of grid wind power (and maybe 4-5GW privately owned that is not attached to the grid it's just used to avoid buying grid electricity). There is no reason whatsoever that can't be 45GW, and more, except that until now it was not politically desirable apparently.

It's very windy here. On the mainland, especially in summer, it might be calmer for days or even weeks so you would need a lot of storage, but you probably can power the UK on wind if that's what you were determined to do, and when it's really blowing (much of the winter) you can export that cheap wind power too, offsetting the price of buying some of say Spain's solar power or France's nukes when the wind is calm.

Most of today so far for example grid wind was steadily about 13GW. Here on the mainland it seems pretty calm, but I guess out in the ocean it is plenty windy enough to turn those blades and make electricity.
