>Which countries NATO invaded again?

-Bosnia and Herzegovina

-Kosovo

-Macedonia

-Afghanistan

They call it "peace mission" and "Security mission" , putin calls it "special operation"

>They are still hostile to the US 60 years on

Just the US still imposes sanctions toward Cuba, not the other way around, and btw Cuba never tried to invade the US...Bay of pigs? Guantanamo?

>the Soviet withdrawing their nuclear weapon

Would be nice if the US would do the same with the nuclear weapons in turkey no?

The double standards you have are fascinating.
Maybe not a very useful answer, but for me it was the Narnia books when I was around 6. I already liked reading before then, but that was mostly simpler booms. Narnia really opened my eyes to a whole new level of wonder with reading and solidified my love of fantasy and science fiction forever.

Because there is an obligation to stop the war by any means available. Since Putin will not stop voluntarily, he must be rendered unable to continue. Every possible tool to drain the resources and undermine the tenuous stability of Russia is necessary and appropriate.

War sucks for civilians. It sucks less for the civilians who get some files deleted than for the civilians who get their houses shelled by Russian and Belarusian artillery.

Does the NPM project have a general duty of good stewardship? Of course. Does the NPM project have a duty to interfere with a developer who chooses to increase the misery and pressure applied to a nation that has been committed to a path of an unjust war of aggression, which is deliberately bombing civilians? Fuck no.

I’m not hopeful to be honest, at least not without a significant thermal reduction penalty. The M1 Ultra in the Mac Studio has a 1kg heavier heat sink vs the Max due to the extra heat.
Malthusian economics is an intuitive and once-popular idea, that is pretty well discredited by the the world getting a lot more pleasant to live in since Industrial Revolution England. Do people really still believe it?
Ah fair. perhaps I was thinking Germany (where your child can be removed). France still has regular inspections, can be denied and you have a curriculum you must adhere to (at least tests / categories).
Racism sucks :(
You're making a very valid point. In the US at least, incentives are low (not zero... There's the child tax credit, but how does that stack up against an economy where two-person households work 39.5 hours each to stay in place?)
Not just roads. Northern VA’s excellent educational system was built under republicans, with a few conservative democrat governors. Building and permits are much easier. Even just efficiency of government offices. Getting a copy of my kid’s birth certificate in my county took like 10 minutes. In bored strokes, at state and local level, republicans tend to focus on serving the majority, while democrats are focused on equity and redistribution for minorities.
"Property rights" are not human rights, stop conflating the 2.

Try repeating your shitpost in the light of the reality that right now, entire families are being blown apart by evil warfare between Ukraine and Russia.

So no, it's not such a simple reductionist shit-take like you're offering. Be more mature and serious or be banned. There's no more time for bullshit. We can measure the consequences of his actions and ideas by seeing the struggle of the nuclear reactors, which wouldn't have been a problem if France leadership including Macron was truly wise and privy to what the people need at a basic level - which is cheap and reliable electricity for fuck's sake.

And NATO defense spending should've been 2% of GDP for a long time, but they failed even in times of great relative peace by comparison in 2014 when they were below where they are supposed to be. No serious person, in the face of rockets obliterating their nation, could resort to such a shitty reductionist take like yours unless they were just looking to troll rather than to understand that YES, it's possible to say that someone is bad and why and how.

https://phys.org/news/2018-11-france-nuclear-reactors-macron...

How is this working out for him and France now with energy costs skyrocketing and old pipelines and new pipelines from Russia no longer guaranteed because of immaturity across the board at all levels of leadership now culminating in barbarism in 2022 of all times? So yes, it's possible to prove that Macron made bad choices, because of what the consequences are.
I too was pretty skeptical of Copilot when I started using it last summer.

However it is shockingly good for filling out Python snippets - ie smarter autocomplete when teaching.

Popular libraries like Pandas, Beautiful Soup, Flask are perfect for this.

About 80% time it will fill out the code exactly they way I would want. About 10% time it will be something you want to correct or nudge.

Then about 10% of time it will be a howler or anti-pattern.

Then you simply explain it to students why it is not so great to say insert something at a beginning of a Python list.

Edit: Copilot is also great for filling out comments when teaching

# it can generate Captain Obvious what comments and also some nice why type comments as well
an analogy i like is that if encryption is a locked box you're passing around, using a token is like passing around a safe deposit box key instead- the real secret is still secure at the bank, probably encrypted as if by a teller's key (not with your token-"key", which is not an encryption key, just a reference to the box, and you can make as many tokens to the same box as you want.. so that's a rough edge to the analogy)

but anyway, it's just passing references around, so i think the main reason it gets confusing is because it's discussed as an alternative to encryption, despite being kind of the opposite of encryption (passing around a token and protecting the vault, vs passing around ciphertext and protecting the key)

> There is a clear causation between homeschooling and better outcomes.

As I've said, causality has not been established. Even if we stipulate that smaller class sizes have a causal positive effect, it's nowhere near enough to account for the improvement in scores when home schooling. Selection effects are most likely to dominate, as they do in almost all education research.

Use Qubes OS. It will help you in different ways. Firstly, if a problem happens, only the specific environment is affected (such as the project you're working on), secondly any changes outside of the home directory will be reverted (this was not an issue in example in question but it can happen in other cases, such as a sudo make install deleting stuff from /usr/bin), finally if something really bad happens you can always revert the specific vm where the problem happened.

A lot of information about Qubes talk about protection against attacks, but it's also useful against unintentional issues, and I'd argue that's a much more common case where Qubes shines.

Miyazaki has the right to set whatever difficulty he wants. My complaint is less with FromSoft. I've resigned myself to the fact that they'll never release a game with difficulty that is accessible to everybody. My complaint is more with the community, who sees any discussion of "hey the monster design and lore and scenery look cool but I can't get past the Asylum Demon" as some sort of threat and responds with vitriol. The discussion here has been largely positive but even here I've got somebody who decided to just respond "git gud." You can imagine how it goes on reddit or twitter.

Needing to browse a "we guarantee we will stay online forever" page through an archive service is pretty hilarious. The fact that the service has been down for multiple days with no communication about it and no way to reach them shows what that guarantee was worth.

I don't know anything about Svbtle, but ultimately that isn't a promise anyone can realistically make regardless of the best intentions. You need money to run servers. What happens when a company runs out of it or even ceases to exist? What if there's accidental unrecoverable data loss due to a bug or outage? What if the operator gets hit by a bus?

If you have data you care about, hold it yourself (and back it up). Trusting a random free online service with the sole copy of everything is foolish.
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

I'm not saying there's not propaganda from both sides, there obviously is. But this and the video game footage are readily attributable to the shoddy state of ad-funded clickbait journalism today, which is a separate issue from intentional propaganda.
I recall as a kid, soldering circuit boards. I distinctly remember the label "low lead" and also the smell of the smoke it made. At times, and this is stupid, i would find myself chewing on a piece of the unburnt solder as i debugged a circuit board. Mistakes were made...
Why do you even want to live there?
Please continue to tell me that I'm having fun incorrectly.

I'm 46, I have well over 10k hours in hundreds of video games. Been gaming since I had an Atari and games had no directions or guides like Indiana Jones.

Having difficulty that I don't enjoy in a game is the number 2 reason after "it didn't click" that I abandon a game.

There's literally nothing that stops me from reading a novel or watching a movie or walking through a museum or a world historical site to gate keep that experience. Games is the only one where we say "you must enjoy frustration or read spoilers to progress". Just gate keeping that great artistic vision. If it is art worth the experience it shouldn't behind a wall saying "get gud to enter". Let people experience it how they can or want to or have time to.

We're no longer charging quarters based on deaths but that still has it's tendrils in our artform.

To be clear I die a ton in games, I also appreciate it when the game is like ok buddy you tried you can go forward like gta5/gth2. I died 10 times to gremlin shamans in valheim yesterday, but that isn't gatekeeping some artwork, and that game has creative mode.

A few questions and comments:

- Ukraine was the one asking for NATO membership. Don't they have a right to decide? In all these discussions, people speak as if they have no sovereignty. Ukraine was well aware of the risk of invasion if they tried to join NATO, they spoke about it publicly. So why not let them take that risk if they wish?

- Indeed, wasn't it arguably rational for Ukraine to seek NATO membership, despite the (uncertain) risk of invasion as a consequence of trying to do so? Perhaps the real criticism should be that NATO dragged their feet for too long. Given the context of empire building rhetoric, verifiably unrelated to NATO, inside Russia about Ukraine at the high levels of the Kremlin, and given a history of aggressive and unwanted Russian political interference, maybe they thought that Russia would invade anyway, and this was their only way to prevent that from happening.

- Why should we capitulate and allow one authoritarian nation to dictate the foreign policy decisions of a democratic neighbor? How is such appeasement wise in the long-run?

- How do we know that NATO fears weren't simply a useful pretext for empire building ambitions? Putin is a master at lying, propaganda, gaslighting and sowing confusion, and his spokesmen (Lavrov and Peskov) and propaganda apparatus will reinforce the desired narrative.

- Let's not conflate explanations with justifications. Let's also not conflate full explanations with partial explanations. NATO fears are, at best, a partial explanation.

- The phrase "Ukraine's bioweapons labs" is strongly implying that Ukraine is making bioweapons for the sake of weapons and not for the sake of small-scale research. There is no evidence of this that I've seen, and absent that evidence such a phrasing is misleading. You mean "biological research facilities" which should be uncontroversial until shown otherwise.
I think part of the reason might be that "illegal immigration", in the US at least, is a legal fiction that hasn't even existed for a century. The rules are entirely arbitrary and are designed to keep the legacy majority in power. They convince people that this is the right thing to do through fear-mongering and lies, telling people that immigrants take their jobs, reduce wages, have incompatible values, destroy "our" culture, etc.

I've been doing genealogy research lately, and when my great-grandparents immigrated to the US (around 1910), the only requirement for "legal" immigration was that they entered the country at a designated port of entry and were identified and documented on entry. Around 10 years later they were US citizens (and that length of time was more due to them not feeling they needed it, than due to any bureaucratic nonsense).

I expect that if we were to re-adopt a similar system today, it would not be catastrophic in the ways the government (both the left and right) would like us to believe. So I think you are branded anti-immigrant at times because being "anti illegal-immigration" is just kinda missing the point, and shows a lack of compassion and empathy for people who immigrate in ways that don't tick the arbitrary boxes.

It is propaganda, the only reason you don't pay higher taxes is that car infrastructure is heavily subsidized compared to transit.
Other things that lead to increased deaths: the Russian military intentionally bombing civilians.

I usually oppose “whataboutism” but I can’t bring myself to do it here. This is a war where the nation of Russia has decided to murder Ukrainians. Means to interfere with Russia’s blood-soaked campaign must be viewed not in isolation, but in the context of what they are attempting to stop.

To be clear, I am not making a general purpose “the end justifies the means” argument. I am making a narrow and specific “the circumstances justify extreme behavior with severe externalities” argument.
I mostly agree... and I'd still argue that the FromSoft games kinda fail at the "knowledge gathering" phase. Walking into a boss that kills you in less than 20 seconds means very little knowledge can be gathered, and sometimes it takes minutes to go back and try again. This is a specific thing that Hollow Knight does pretty much perfectly: you can keep most bosses at bay, because the focus isn't usually to survive, but to find openings where you can safely do some damage.

Needing game knowledge is a great approach to game design. Dispensing such knowledge in the random way FromSoft games do is not. And this goes beyond just the combat aspect. Equipment and items in FromSoft games usually have non-discoverable hidden effects that at best turn the game into a weird puzzle, and at worst draw parallels to graphic adventure games of old. Case in point: Father Gascoigne in Bloodborne. You can find a music box that staggers the boss if you use it during the battle. It makes some sense from a lore perspective, but it's pure bullshit from a game perspective.

I've seen a few people in the media specify that the war's about Putin's aggression, rather than Russian aggression. But I doubt that they're the majority. Russophobia sells better. We've got people vandalizing businesses [1] and sending threats in the US as well. That doesn't help anyone in Ukraine, if that's really their goal. It certainly doesn't affect Russia's economy if a restaurant in another country takes a dive. The point of the sanctions is to hurt Russia's government (and therefore their military). There's a cost to sanctions as well for Russian citizens who have nothing to do with the war, but I've yet to see an alternative solution beyond escalating the conflict.

I am utterly shocked it has taken this long for something like this to come around. Direct integration of data flows into document processing has been an obvious next-step-up for any kind of scalable document production/management framework for at least the past few years. The amount of time I have to spend on a regular basis inputting, updating, and managing information that is presented in documents but compiled in other places has me apoplectic on a weekly basis.

I'll tell ya, at the moment, this isn't quite where I need it to be, because every team I work in/with is entirely Drive / GDocs-centric, and so what I'll need in the long-run to roll it out is a native integration within that interface. I'd love for GOOG to just buy y'all and integrate that capability into their rapidly-growing Workspace capabilities. Until then, watching with great interest, may play around with it a bit.

Difficulty systems in the 70s and 80s were famously for eating quarter rather than based on any actual game design philosophy. Not exactly a comparison I think is worth making.

The "just learn the boss" argument is also somewhat frustrating given how frequently there are long ass walks back from bonfires to boss doors. Dying a bunch to learn the tells and attack timings is much less attractive when it takes minutes to go from a death to your next attempt. Compare this to something like Hotline Miami where you are playing again instantly. Much better option there.
How do you do quadrature modulation of light? There's no phase information? Or do you just mean 8-bits-per-symbol encoding?

Thats a feature, not a bug. Israel will probably become the first democratic country were “outbreed them” was a successful political strategy.

The ultra orthodox are a solid voting block That currenty controls 15 out of the 120 seats in the Knesset. they almost always align with the far-right religious zionists or the right-wing Likud. Right wing governments encourage their growth while working to decrease that of Muslims.

And it has worked very well. The Israeli left, which dominated politics until the 80s has been decimated since their voter base is not having children. The country is going right, fast. The ultra-orthodox also secure the Jewish majority in Jerusalem and Israel, an added bonus.
Also, Ukrainians have the historical experience that being conquered by Russia only makes the hunger worse.
