Okay, time to untangle.

1. Identity is an internal belief, which may or may not correpsond to the facts.

2. Factually, Russia never was a country of peaceful defenders (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Russia).

3. During the post-WW2 Soviet era, the main focus of internal propaganda was Peace and Victory over the nazi Germany. It is during that time the identity of a "peaceful defender" was formed and ingrained into the Soviet psyche (and it survived Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan). Later, this identity was reinforced by Putin.

4. I still know a lot of people in Russia who hold that identity. I would still call it a national identity.

5. After the Ukraine war that identity can no longer be held without denial or serious cognitive dissonance.

6. Many people will go into denial, and many people will have an identity crisis.

7. However, "That which can be destroyed by the truth, should be".
Mitchelbob appears to post dozens of links to archive.ph and not much else, is this an organized phishing attempt or just an issue with archive.ph?
It was more a comment on the 'denazification' justification used to go after the rest of Ukraine.

But I would also argue that the ethnic makeup of a region doesn't really justify trying to annex it.
Yes, it's hard to give the poster benefit of the doubt.

I haven't run https://top-fwz1.mail.ru/js/code.js myself but a quick glance at it seems to indicate that it tries to harvest data from the page (references to "gender", "age", etc) and some shady-named variables like "bait". Also a function that fetches data from top-fwz1.mail.ru and then tries to submit a hidden 1px*1px form created in an iframe using this data and who knows what else.

All other archive.ph links from the poster seem to contain the same JS code from mail.ru, which makes it either doubly suspicious, or just means their computer or network is infected with something that injects it into their pages, who knows.
It blows my mind that the most effective way of getting a market level pay increase is to switch jobs.

That makes no sense; successful companies will figure this out and unsuccessful companies will lose their talent. For companies that aren’t in tech it’ll probably not matter, but tech companies will have to adapt or die.
It's incredible that the Ukrainians have S300. I guess some Western "private consultants" are probably analyzing them in detail;-)

You call easy installation of applications insane. I call convoluted and technically difficult installation insane. I represent the vast majority of PC users, and I don't think you'll ever convince us that a 10 step CLI process to install an application is a good thing.

On just that, yes.

But at least sponsor spots are just that, payment for advertising. They are not directly part of the global stalking networks. I don't object to advertising as a way of paying for things, I object to being followed around in everything I do.
I switched from Google Sheet to Excel when I needed to actually do some work on phone.

Google Sheets are surprisingly bad on phone. I wanted to "just" do drag-to-fill (or whatever is the name... that + thing that appears when you go to bottom right)... I could not do that on iOS Google Sheets?

And in general, Google Sheets on mobile are surprisingly poor.

>One of the four things, so one full quarter, of the Agile Manifesto is, "Customer collaboration over contract negotiation." ... I would humbly argue that the author, therefore, does not have much experience working on an "actually" agile team. ... I always feel bad quoting sections of the Agile Manifesto, as I think it's so short it should be read in full every time it's relevant, but it's hard to slip into a comment like this without derailing the remaining part of the message entirely. Please do give it a read, even if you've read it before.

My response was to your above statements. As is evident, almost everyone of Meyer's criticisms are proven True here.
I don't find it hard to believe, but agree the safest option is to assume they're not incompetent and do our best to fight them off as if they were the best.

The time scales are so vast that’s hard to answer that. We also need to be able to expand do other systems as well. At that stage, I wonder what the appeal of being a planet-hugger is - if we can live in city ships in deep space, why would we want to go into a gravity well just to see a planetary surface from up close?

In my opinion lockdown works best at early time, when the number is low. There you can have very short time lock down, eliminate the cases and go back to normal.
Absolutely agree. I was about to make an edit to my post pointing out that we missed the "viable" part.

I've had 21 LinkedIn messages this week, and I'm not even really looking for a job. Almost all are an increase on my current salary. But I've just switched job, so going to bide my time for the next 12 months and then see where I'm at.

I am fully onboard with the macOS model.

You highlight why this will forever remain a problem: letting developers choose to provide a user-hostile install method means that some of them will. The solution here is mandating a simple install method, but I don't think enough distros would get on board with that. Most Linux developers like things just the way they are.
I experimented with a few of these retro gaming systems. This one really stands out in terms of the UI. Lovely retro graphics, wallpaper, loading screen etc.

All of the systems are still FAR too confusing for the casual user.

Installing Recalbox, then the emulator, then the game machine BIOS and then the games. So many opportunities for parts to not work together. (I'm very familiar with Linux, networking, ssh etc. Mounting the shared folders on my Mac from Recalbox was easy)

Trying to work out which Nintendo BIOS works with which emulator, and games was horrendous. Have only managed to get a few machines working so far.
I predict we will not be in such great shape in 6 months. I'm really worried that current inflation and rising oil prices are going to knock the wind out of the global economy.

> If I sold a transparency with nothing but a twirly mustache on it, sized & positioned so that it perfectly placed the mustache on the original Mona Lisa if placed within the frame, would that be a derivative work?

To the extent that it's "based on" copyrightable expression in the Mona Lisa, yes. AIUI the key question is: would a viewer recognise the Mona Lisa from your transparency? And that would be a question of fact for the jury; personally guessing I'd say probably not from just the position of a mustache in a frame, probably yes if you included e.g. an outline of the pose. (In which case it might still be protected fair use, but it would be a derivative work, and you'd have to make that positive defence).
If we survive 300 years we will have self sufficient spacecraft (probably asteroids) and power not reliant on the sun (fusion)

Once you have that you inevitably have groups heading off into space in different directions, never to return to Earth, but some will survive trips to other stars, and some will multiply and branch out from then

At that point humanity or its descendants will inevitably fill the entire galaxy, although it won’t be a single civilisation.

Sound is the primary reason why I eventually left the Linux desktop - it broke on a regular basis, and randomly, because of pulseaudio. It worked in some apps, and not in others. In the end, I needed to get some work done, and not constantly fix my workstation, so I went down the OSX route I never looked back (no need to tinker at all, and I kind of understand the UI, while I find Windows to be very confusing, and to require tinkering ).

I started using Linux in 1996, used a Linux desktop as my main box between 2001 and 2011, but, much to my chagrin, it just never reached any kind of 'it just works' level. Sure, there were good parts ( interesting UI ideas ), but the moment you started plugging/doing funky things into your computer ( printers, bluetooth, power outlets, wifi, speakers, fonts, multiple screens, 3d cards, etc you name it ), things started not working as expected.

Note I still use a Linux workstation at the office. It still doesn't work well for anything which is not terminal oriented, it still loses its graphics settings on a regular basis, I still run into graphics driver issues, but I have a windows box next to it to handle everything else.

The one thing I really miss on windows/OSX is i3, which completely changed my view of windowed environments ( I gave up on Gnome/KDE eons ago ).
My theory is that originally they decided not to do a fast, comprehensive bombing/missile shock-and-awe campaign because even if it was aimed at military targets, it would be very easy to perceive (or describe) a comprehensive deployment like that as "carpet bombing", "brutal", etc.

In other words, they were trying to avoid bad press and having the population immediately perceive them as being indiscriminate or blowing up their entire country etc. There would just be so many videos on TV and the internet of so many bombs and missiles.

Its actually kind of like the discussion about LIDAR on Teslas. People always come up with these supposed scientific reasons that they decided not to use it. But the biggest reason was, it doesn't look good, or fit in at all with the sleek design of Teslas. Teslas would go from the sexiest car to the dorkiest overnight.

Anyway, pretty rough analogy, but similarly, the Russians probably decided not to operate in the most effective way, deliberately, due to "optics".
... indeed, looks like all the recent links to archive.ph that I can find in HN comments (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...) have this same JS code injected.
There is a strange apparent paradox of Google floundering with attempting to address SEO spam, and alternative approaches including the one in the post and indeed my own demonstrating great success.

The truth is any alternative search ranking to Google's will probably work well. The problem is the search mono-culture with one very dominant search engine, which permits extreme specialization. If you have real competition with multiple mutually incompatible ranking algorithms, black hat SEO patterns will drastically lose effectiveness. The unreasonable effectiveness of SEO spam is largely water assuming the shape of the cup.
If you don't know about the binary representation, you won't be able to learn binary operators. If you do, they're fairly straightforward. I'd suggest learning about binary first.

Just to understand where I'm coming from, I'm actually a proponent of all production being socialized so that people do not need to spend their life working just to live. Farmers would give their produce for free because all their needs would be met for free. But that's another debate.

Libre Software can totally be funded, through individual donations or through public funding; in fact, because Libre Software is a common, it is only normal that time spent improving them should be time paid by the entire society. I see no problem with the idea of taking from private property to further common property.
> These facts aren't in dispute, so there is nothing to call me out on

Yes, very nice.

> Supported by the US

Citation needed. You called it "CIA-backed" earlier, which is a worse smear. You can deny the Ukrainian people agency over their own fate then, as a precursor to denying it to them now.

The facts on the ground say otherwise. Ukraine is not behaving as if they have an "illegitimate regime". Implying otherwise - and doing so repeatedly - is behaviour that shows that you have an agenda.

> I also pointed out that the idea of pushing Ukraine and/or Georgia towards NATO has been known for the last 25 years to be a guaranteed precursor to war with Russia.

That’s a very pessimistic take. We are on the verge of having Lunar and Martian settlements. Before the end of this century, those may even be self sufficient.

I agree that there is an issue with overwhelming the satellite transmission frequencies. However, the signal can never be delivered earlier by adversary as signal travelling in air is about the physical limit. Perhaps only a stalking satellite could intercept and deliver the message faster, but that seems like a sci-fi.

Indeed overwhelming the processing power with junk seems the important issue if crypto is added.
Unfortunately for me, I've had a WFH gig since 2018, so Covid hasn't affected me all that much.

But I do feel like I'm missing out on power-trip fantasies of getting to say "no" to the CEO's face about returning to the office in a Zoom call and grinning while knowing they have zero leverage because I'm the only domain-expert in an incredibly niche field at the company and they'd be unable to replace me - and if they did, I'd be able to walk-in to a higher paying job within a few months besides.

Has anyone on the Internet recorded and shared their "negotiation" Zoom calls? Genuinely curious - not least for the entertainment factor...

>They also changed the rating system, so what used to be an A-rated TV is now about a D or E rated one.

And what is also introducing confusion is that they are allowed to sell old models under the old energy label but new models have to apply the new label.
So you can have a 2020 model fridge labelled "A+++" but the more energy efficient model 2022 model that replaced it is labeled "D".
This seems a pretty unbiased source (although western) and they corroborate that reality didn't meet expectations. [1]

From the HN guidelines:

"Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did.

"Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills."

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

And in this thread specifically, you're complaining about (so far) 11 people who found this interesting enough to upvote. Maybe for its content, or maybe hoping the content/title would spur interesting conversation about cooking techniques. Or maybe half of them were mis-clicks. Regardless, it's only "up in the top" of HN because the site cleverly has a few front-page slots for rotating stories that are relatively new and have a handful of upvotes, to see if a brief front-page exposure is enough to get traction, or if it stays a low number of upvotes it's very quicky back to it's rightful place in the queue. (Disclaimer, that's my memory of how it's been described, may not be exactly accurate.)
Completely fair. My comment was in context of the article and comments. Many Linux users seem interested in growing Linux market share, or declaring that "this is the year of Linux." It will never be the year of Linux while basic tasks continue to complicated multi-step CLI adventures.

This wasn't what I got out of the article.

Too many people focus on the Minimum, and don't care about the Viable or the Product. There are table stakes. MVP doesn't mean half-assed and buggy. They misuse the concept and release any old crap.

As a result, MVP has become too much of a buzzword and the intention behind it got lost.

Usual reminder that the "I don't care about cookies" is dishonestly named and should be "I don’t care about tracking" as it falls back to allowing all tracking and cookies are just some tiny part of it.

I’m not judging you for not caring about giving people permission to track you in whatever way they choose, but at least be informed about what you do.
A few years back I had a Samsung smart watch, and one day I was sitting at my desk and started to feel an uncomfortable burning feeling from it. It managed to give me a little first degree burn on my wrist before I got it off. I rebooted it, and shortly afterwards it did it again, so it's been sitting in a drawer ever since. The only thing close to an explanation I found online was that if it needs to do something intensive like sync 100 SMS messages it can overheat. TBH, though, I think walking around with a cell phone in my front pocket all day is more of a risk.

That's nice, but what does that have to do with your job? You can meet people anywhere and when you choose the venue and the context they may even have something in common with you. All anyone at your job needs to have in common with you is a desire to eat.
