There's much more the international community could do even without direct war. It should be possible to station troops in the West of country, thus freeing up Ukrainians to fight. If Putin wishes to attack them, than he'll be the one escalating.

It would be not too different than Idlib, which hasn't led to massive war, with the exception the government will have invited these troops.

Realistically you could probably get away with something like a couple of terabytes, and then default to the regular index if it isn't found in the neighborhood close to your favored sites, but that's still anything but cheap especially this can't be some slow-ass S3 storage, this storage should ideally be SSDs or a RAID/JBOD-configuration of mechanical drives. That means you're also paying for a lot of I/O bandwidth and overall data logistics.

If you try to rent that sort of compute, you're probably looking at like $100-200/month.

I would avoid it on domain connected devices. Active directory will by default attempt to connect to arbitrary smb servers (via netbios, dns, or http pitm). Once connected it will happily throw your password hash, rehashed as netntlmv2, dictionary attacks and now entropy brute forces are possible, after which they can be leveraged for varying types of badness.

PITM is remediated somewhat by HSTS which forms sort of a trust (google hsts mean https links to other resources cannot be tls downgraded, even if they don’t have a hsts directive themselves).

Any lack of secure cookie flag can leak cookies over unencrypted http, wherever hsts is not applied on a site itself (even if you’re on hsts, an attacker could theoretically request to a http resource via any unencrypted page loading, by injecting an img resource to the victim domain).

I doubt there’s any low scale attacks of the last two, but wouldn’t be surprised if nation states firewalls did this. The first attack vector is very real.
Great feedback:) I think we should be more explicit on the website about the types of problems Tensorbox can catch.

To answer your question, regular linters only fix syntax error. Tensorbox is capable of catching logic and functional errors understanding developer's intent.
Not really - it's painfully obvious when a web developer takes no regard for accessibility or usability and instead wanted to create something that looked fancy. Look no further than people who replace `alert()` with a half-assed replacement that accomplishes 10% of what `alert()` does in 7 characters.

My first main concern were servers and I went with Debian. On desktop I use Mint for quite a while already since I can still get everything I need without snap. When / if it changes I'll deal with it. Desktop is easy to redo.
> Expecting any internet service can tell whether a child is currently using any given account is ridiculous without serious data collection and privacy violations.

There is the concept of "best effort" where if your customer lies to you, not much you can do. But eg. social media is popular among < 18yos. You can make an account and use it if you're young, but you get different feature flags. This is pretty common. Eg. You can use FB if you're less than 21, but no one can show you alcohol ads (fb enforces). So someone would have to actively lie to get an "algorithm" and they'd have to know they want it.

TLDR. Not crazy.
Thanks for the anecdote, I love it. What’s SWE in this context?

> There is no guarantee that a website will be functional or work correctly for those without disabilities, much less be designed in a user friendly easy to use way.

Your comment made me wonder if this will lead to the situation where some businesses will just opt to have 2 different versions of their website, one designed primarily to hit the accessibility requirements, and the other one made for users who do not require accessibility accommodations. Kinda similar to certain businesses which, in the past, used to have separate mobile versions of their websites (before reactive website layouts became easier to implement and more commonplace).

As long as those accessible versions of websites comply with legal accessibility requirements and provide the exact same services as the non accessibility-targeted website versions (i.e., features and functions are not exclusively present in one version but not another, so you can perform the exact same functions in both), that shouldn't cause any legal issues, right?

Note: I am not trying to come up with some "workaround" to "beat" the requirement. I think that, overall, accessibility is a great cause, and I am not taking a stance on this issued guidance from the Justice Department. I am just trying to see where this could lead us, based on my current understanding of this guidance.
Yeah I don’t. The authorities can not be trusted with the money supply. It must be algorithmic and well known, enforced by free and open source software. To quote Satoshi:

“The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.”

> On the other hand, all dense old-world cities (London, Paris, Rome, even Tokyo, say) are... "dendritic".

Not in the sense of the Alexander essay. It explicitly contrasts the interwoven connections of traditional cities with the artificial tree-like structure of modern planned cities.

"Tree", in the sense that Alexander uses it in that essay, is a math tree (e.g., a binary tree in CS), not an organic tree.

I highly recommend reading the essay for those who haven't seen it.
All I can say is that I'm glad physical accessibility isn't codified by "I'll know it when I see it" standards.

You kind of make my point though - sure, it's obvious when it's wrong. But it's not obvious if it's right, which is the actual fear. It's not even clear if it's possible to conclusively determine that it's right.
They are quasi-government entities of a hostile power. Stop being so naive, when wars happen realpolitik becomes the primary value system of nations.
In addition to other noting that decoders and encoders almost all have an enormous amount of hand optimized code because they are literally the most demanding applications most people run (which is why most codecs today are hardware accelerated and they are used in almost all CPU benchmarks) 186k LOC (given that it's assembler which is nearly always "vertical code") is also relatively small for decoders.

People don't really get how complex video codecs are.
On some level, this is hotels failing to compete. If I look up both airbnbs and hotels in a popular vacation town (randomly using Big Sky, MT, april 18-20, for this example) then I see hotels and airbnbs in similar locations, and at similar price points. However, there are airbnbs cheaper than the cheapest hotels, and they have a number of amenities that no hotels offer- notably, a washer/dryer in-unit, a full kitchen, and multiple actual rooms.

Given the same nightly price, who would choose a minimal pared-down hotel room over an entire furnished condominium?

What kind of outcome can you think of where Russia's economy isn't pushed back at least 30 years?

Fighting wars over natural resources haven't made sense in more than hundred years. They are such small part of the global economy, and the cost of land grabs and long term occupation is way too expensive.

So NATO doesn't need to march across Siberia. If there isn't a regime change, Russia is going to end up like North Korea. Isolated, desperately poor, and except that they have some nukes, ignored and irrelevant.
I am French and our bread is meh. Baguette is ok when it is good.

Compared to that, the breads I ate in central/eastern Europe are fantastic. I bought some from random bakeries and they were almost always very tasteful.

All this is a matter of taste of course, so starting that X bread is the best in the world is like saying that Y color is the nicest.

I think people virtue signal when they dominate conversation with pet political topics. This is especially evident if they continually find non-sequitur ways to include moral and pet topics in regular conversation. I don't think that either of the examples you've brought up are virtue signaling, but introducing the topic of Starbucks cups to redirect a conversation into how "the country has lost its way" is a good example. An example of this on the left is how certain folks will redirect any conversation into one about oppression.

The impact of virtue signalling is pretty evident. Ever seen how in order to make a statement on something you have to first identify yourself as part of that something that you're criticising? That's a direct byproduct of virtue signaling.

More or less, it's a form of manipulation.

If you patch your device and aren’t high profile, you’re probably going to be okay surfing the web.
Agreed, but keep in mind that person is already technically required to follow standards for things like PII, sales tax, security etc. in addition to accessibility. Small businesses can outsource these requirements to a service like Shopify that knows how to handle them. If you build your own site, then not taking the time to learn and address these issues will always expose you to some legal risk.
This is overall a good thing for the industry as a whole, even though I'm sure it will be met with plenty of resistance initially. This will force prioritize accessibility across the industry as the lawsuits mount with big companies that don't follow best practices here, which will lift the entirety of the industry up along with it.
I think people get a little carried away with this. I'd bet money that the average American cannot even describe the difference between Protestantism and Catholicism besides something facile like "they have a pope." There aren't even any Protestants sitting on the Supreme Court.

In a historical sense, it's very geographically dependent. Before states got rid of established churches, Virginia, for instance, established the Episcopal church, while Massachusetts established the Congregational church.
You'd ask the emulator to give you a seed. (This was mentioned in the article, and a way for VMs to do this has been added in this kernel.) You could also refuse to produce any random numbers until you had entropy from some part of the emulator that wasn't deterministic. (Maybe the emulator gives real random numbers for the CPU random instruction, or maybe it lets you connect to a real network.) Since people don't think of cycle counts as something that needs to be nondeterministic for a computer to work, seeding on them makes it possible for people running the program to accidentally run it in a way that breaks the assumptions of the program authors. Note that this is true of many random sources - but the objection was not to including cycle counts, but to emitting random numbers while that was all the driver had collected.
I think now we’re solidly in the same territory as regular economic sanctions, which will also cause more harm to the regular people than to those directly culpable for enabling the war.

But I also think to some extent it’s only fair that the regular people pay a price for the war. Not necessarily a very steep one, but a price nonetheless.
Never said it was. It's a private company as opposed to a government funded agency.
One view of the map suggests another path: the Russians could reprise the "cauldron" pincer move and encircle fighting Ukrainians to cut them off from deep supply from the west. Either they retreat westward, or it's Stalingrad and the falaise pocket all over again.

Given Putins love to reach back to past glory, I would think this is an attractive meme for him to claim was his goal.

It leads less rapidly to the predicted worser outcome of this piece: an unjust settlement of stalemate over donbass and probably least-worst simmering resentment for decades until some kind of functional democracy returns to Russia and things settle down.

India and China lobbed shells over the border for decades and to avoid megadeath reduced the conflict to ground troops killing each other with sticks and iron bars rather than gun firing. Insanity.

Also like Stalingrad you can't supply a modern army solely by air. These encircled semi guerrilla-like Ukrainian fighters would need supply chains like the Russians do in their present predicament. A pincer move at scale could work for the russians, if they got their act together: 2/3 of their rear is either owned or client state: they could in theory fix their supply chain logistics.
Maybe, though it is still to be seen. One of the more "interesting" sub-games in the bigger war is how much support NATO is willing to give to Ukraine. The English sending MANPADS is apparently fine, even though Russia said beforehand that they would regard the delivery of weapons an act of war. The Polish jets were a step too far. USA sending over drones (sorry, "loitering munitions") and anti tank weapons is apparently still OK.

The same logic that works against the West has also been working against Putin: "what are you going to do about it; escalate into WW3?"
I'd say you're half right. Things are harder now and the success of Google has contributed to this.

However, I think Google has severely degenerated from just two years ago, when most of the problems were fully in effect.

Google is a bit of a product of the situation of scams being the easiest way anyone makes online.

No, cash offer means actually pay it cash. If there's any kind of financing involved, the bank will need to approve the purchase, slowing down the process, which is what a cash offer bypasses.

> no one is buying a house with cash in their bank, not even rich people

They most certainly are. Tons of real estate sales here (Silicon Valley) are all-cash because the other people making offers are also all-cash, so the only way to make a competitive offer is if it is all-cash.

So regular people who need a mortgage are completely shut out of the market.

I think it is a little bit more complicated than that when you're taking sweeping actions like banning Russians from sport (something we managed to avoid in the Cold War but apparently not this time). I also wonder if you'd take the same line about someone seizing your bank account, because every American, by the standard we are now using, is culpable for the Iraq War.

I really hope it works that way. Of course the original licensor can distribute their software under any terms they like; even if the license looks similar to the AGPL3 license for the most part, the Commons Clause turns it into a totally different license.

It would be extremely worrisome that the court admitted sub-licensors to add something like the Commons Clause to software they get under the GPL-like licenses; it would completely invalidate them for all purposes, turning them into MIT-like permissive licenses instead.
My personal experience was as comms flows up a military org, the summarization process at every level is to mechanically convert each slide into a single bullet in the more senior deck. Everything became diluted, and there was no way for a key point to survive from the tactical level up to the flag level.
But that means almost nobody on HN can possibly hold SpaceX stock.
Do you think it backfired though? It was irrelevant as a topic in the election. Wasn't that the point of the suppression?

The point is really that suppression does work, fact-checkers are political - the machinery works in tandem to achieve a defined goal.

E.g. "Nuking Moscow isn't evil because it will end the war in Ukraine."

> deeper discussion of what exactly your perception of evil is

The opposite of good. By my calculus, killing humans is evil.

It may be effective, in that it produces a desired outcome, and it may be just, in that the outcome promotes greater justice or lessens injustice, but those are both orthogonal measurements.

If the Red Army had murdered every guard at the Auschwitz camps in January 1945, that would have been evil. It also would have probably been just.
I just buy a new copy of A Pattern Language whenever I see it in a bookstore, because I know I'm going to end up giving it to someone. It's one of those books you can confidently recommend to any curious, intelligent person, and it may change their thinking, or at least blow their mind, whether they find it useful or not. He was such an original thinker.
That's sort of a semantic argument. To be clear: I was contrasting "choosing a side" (in this case by senselessly pranking your npm customers) as being a "practical" choice, vs. the "principled" stand taken to avoid the conflict out of a general sense of open source decorum. Obviously in some sense all decisions are based on "principle".

And the point is that it's a war. We've crossed the "bad things are going to happen" Rubicon already. You can't make principled arguments like that against people who have chosen to engage in a war out of the hope or desire for one side to win. They already did that moral calculus. It's like telling someone they shouldn't defend their home because pacifism is more important. You might be right, but you won't change anyone's mind.

Civilization is far more resilient than most people today seem to believe. History shows that utter devastation can tear through a civilization, killing as much as one in three people, but civilization will rebound within a generation or three. If an apocalypse happens, it will certainly be horrific for those who experience it, but humanity will not just survive, it will rebuild quite rapidly. You may not live to see the new renaissance, but will happen.
