BMPTs were seen heading into theater on railcars. I've seen nothing since, but I suspect they're out there somewhere.

I also suspect they would fare little better than a lone T-80 wandering around an urban environment without competent infantry support. Also, BMPT was designed around the Grozny threat environment: antiarmor teams on rooftops raining down RPGs and Molotov cocktails from above. The Ukrainians haven't been forced to resort to those tactics (yet) as they have advanced Western weapons to employ from greater distances and with greater lethality.
Hard to say. Probably further erosion of individualism in the west. Foreign interference will be used as a pretext to railroad policies like digital currency, digital ID, etc. This is of course a slippery slope to the China model of mass surveillance and social credit scores.

How this mixes with the constitution and western values is uncertain. You can still have free speech and human rights in such a system, its just that much more fragile.

That, or foreign interference prevails and our enemies trick us into civil war and we destroy ourselves that way.
Oh you are right! That's how I was getting to the Customize Toolbar page too haha. Totally missed that!
CO2 is in the dense supercritical state at the temperature and pressure conditions in storage reservoirs. It's density is between 750 and 850 kg/m3 then (water is 1000). You just have to compress it and pump it down there, and it will stay like that.

Honestly, the storage part is a solved problem from the feasibility side. The remaining challenges are mainly cost optimization, across all of capture, transport and storage.

And the biggest hurdle is forcing businesses to actually pay for the currently externalized cost of CO2 emissions.
Designers like the hamburger because it lets them sweep anything they haven't considered under the rug. They're simple so no one attempts to cram in carousels or videos or what have you, so its the easiest way to add functionality into an app that doesn't have any other thought put into expanding the navigation. So in that sense they're highly productive.
Triple vaxxed, and I've yet to contract it. No one in my immediate family have, and they've all be exposed multiple times (I haven't yet). Mother and sister work in medicine, brother is a bank manager. Bother has been TRYING to catch it since they instituted a 10 day "vacation" policy as he calls it.

I'm hoping we are naturally immune, but I'm not going to count on it. I still mask up every time I go out. But less so around family that I know mask up everywhere.

> The Netherlands has an enormous oversupply of poop

I'm talking about animal manure, not human's one... That last can't be used in agriculture because too many meds and diseases can pass along... The NL btw have a population density that can't really nourish it's resident without importing significant amount of foods. That's a classic problem, but in an age of scarcity it count much more than in an age of abundance...

> meat can be done profitably at a smaller scale than plant production) is quite simply a fabrication

Meat can be done at small scale, no matter the profit. You can easy raise chickens in your own backyard, nourishing them with some insects and various food waste if you can't have a bit of grains. They reproduce autonomously for almost the entire year and in 4-5-6 month you can slaughter them at home. That means you can at a hyper-small scale source proteins to keep yourself alive if needed. At a slightly bigger scale a S.E. can easily live selling eggs and meat. At a slightly bigger scale you can have goats and sheep, from a region of the earth to another it's just change the size of land needed to nourish a flock, goats and sheep live normally in rural central Asia, in place almost desertic for a hyper-large part of the year, they also live in Scandinavia and similarly in various part of Africa. At a slightly bigger scale came pigs and cows.

On contrary to nourish people with crackers made from grains and dried insects as the Green New Deal want you need factories. You need automated systems to dry insects (alive, of course) grind them into flour, cut this flour with the corn flour, add flavor enhancers and various other synthetic chemical compounds, package everything etc. That can't be done at a small scale. That's why Green New Deal want them: living on such "food" demand living on industry, without you perish, while living on classic fosterage can be done as we have done in the early age of humanity, surely it's not much living then surviving doing as such BUT it's still possible, so anyone can potentially do just owning land in almost any part of the world, it's just a matter of how much land is needed per human being. That's is...

To preserve meat you just need salt (yes saltpetre help, but it's not mandatory) and salt can be easily sourced from the see and in some lands without any specific tech. Making salami, hams etc demand nothing more (the casings are obtained from the animal).

I hope I have clarified now :-)
I avoid online discussions about Israel, but I often hear activists state that American Jewish people are complicit in the Palestinian Conflict if their congregations provide economic support to “Zionist causes” such as birthright and financial aid to North African diaspora. My position is that it’s in the best interest of free software to allow free software to be used by anyone, even people who you hate or disagree with.
I'll go against the grain. Probably not. If you already "have a good setup for programming already", then I think the gains in productivity for you would be minimal, and you might even lose productivity with the time it takes you to transition to Emacs.

I used Emacs for a few years. At first I just used it as a TUI text editor. Then I started using it as an GUI IDE, browsing the web, as a full blown window manager/desktop environment with exwm...the thing that happens with Emacs, is that once you start using it for one thing, you start using it for everything, even when there are better options available. You might end up boxing yourself in. Personally, I am more happy using the wide world of programs available out there that aren't written in Emacs Lisp.

But if it's for fun, then do what you want, y'know?
No, you're not following the argument. The elements of a 18 USC 1030 charge have to include unauthorized access along with an intent or knowledge that the access was unauthorized. Just doing something silly like changing the colors in your own browser, a niche activity, can't get you charged --- there's no colorable argument that your access was unauthorized. Looking at other peoples' credit card numbers is a much easier case to make, and then the question becomes "did this happen totally accidentally, could I myself as a juror have found myself in this situation?".

Hey everyone, thanks for coming through. I’m Aaron, the founder of Vitaely.me and I’m excited to share with you my first HN launch.

To start with, I built something similar to Vitaely.me as a static site that I could use to present myself professionally online without defaulting to sharing my LinkedIn profile.

Give it a try!

P.S. I’d love to hear your feedback, the good and especially the bad!

That’s what I was alluding to. Part of the high bankruptcy rates in the US are because we have very liberal laws about bankruptcy.

Not only do you get to keep your home, but the majority of people who file Chapter 7 keep everything.

That’s not to say we don’t have issues with medical costs… I’m just speaking generally about using bankruptcy rates as an indicator.

For people in your position, I like Van Lindberg's book, Intellectual Property and Open Source: A Practical Guide to Protecting Code.

Besides being pretty bad for you, factory farming of pigs is extremely brutal to the pigs themselves [1]. It's best to avoid all pork products, including bacon. Also, considering all the recent talk about being humane to octopuses considering their intelligence, the same should go for pigs [2].

I suspect that it would have been better in A/B testing as a lot of people probably didn’t realise the hamburger menu would reveal the categories.

So it probably won due to discoverability rather than usability.

So on average more people now navigate the menu, but doing so is a less pleasant experience for those “in the know” before.
A New Covid Wave Is Spreading in Europe Here’s Why the U.S. Should Pay Attention
Raw dough/batter is a one-off risk. If that one batch wasn't contaminated, you're safe. Insofar as nitrates are a risk, they're more of a cumulative chronic exposure sort of risk.
Not worth the read; no data or proof involved. Just the vague assertion that, since deaths from falling (like octogenarians have, not the fun rock climbing kind) are increasing, you should have a strong grip to catch yourself.
You're linking the wrong thing. The actual additive is sodium nitrite, not sodium nitrate. The article makes this clear.

The industrial process for producing nitrites commonly derive them from sodium nitrate, yes. But deriving food-grade compounds from substances that would be toxic on their own is a common chemical practice, and is not, on its own, remarkable.

What is going on in neutron stars? The layman's answer is that the electrons get squeezed into the protons due to the extreme gravity, leaving only neutrons. But I suppose (?) there needs to be a anti-neutrino or similar that comes along to "complete" the reaction?

I don't see how this is clear at all. What is the evidence that this is a false flag?

There were plenty of comments on HN that were supportive of locking Russian citizens out of their accounts and disabling their domain names. I don't find it hard to believe that someone went a step further.

The original license is AGPL with an added non-commercial clause. To say 'the original license forbade that', where 'that' is being FOSS, is to either agree with me, or to claim that the court is instead offering opinion on what constitutes 'free', which is five times as loaded as 'open source'.

…but this is actually not easy to do via the iOS markup editor. It defaults to a pencil tool that draws way too fine of a line to mask a face without a loooot of scribbling, and adding a shape is a lot of taps. And text, forget about it, that's a pain in the default iOS editor. (Instagram: way better at this.)

This is a weird niche of a tool—it's for people who are posting photos to the Instagram timeline where you can't use the built-in stickers feature, or sending a lot of photos via Messages. But for this tiny niche: sure, useful.
GDR had it in a lot of places (only german: https://www.prenzlauerberg-nachrichten.de/2011/06/07/kleine-...) these isolated pipes are still quite common in eastern germany. The cause was there was no gas and most energy came from coal burning and having centralized heating was more effective - also often industries supplied heat.

pork isn't "bad" in the right dose. But agree that factory farming is brutal.

That just seems to indicate buying pork from humane producers?

Where did they get their curve data? Nowhere near 100% of the population has had COVID. The US number is supposedly around 43% as of the end of January.[1] This is from random samples taken from commercial laboratory blood draws taken for other purposes, and distinguishes between antibodies from vaccination and the disease itself.

This is sort of crazy. Presumably industry will use liquid CO2 for the foreseeable future. Pulling it from the atmosphere instead of ground is a huge net benefit.

No, I watched it as it's sorta big news in Canada. It's just that the contradictions are curious and how nobody is bothered by them.
That says nothing about how bad it will be. Almost all houses get destroyed on a similar time frame anyway simply because people don't want to keep using old houses. They're often only designed to last 50 years.
nobody should frown upon another person for leaving their house with covid to go run unless that run involves being in very close contact with others for an extended period of time. Which for most runs is not the case.
That's not the question. The point is whether you are entitled to feel an author is cheating you by not writing a new novel in a series you like.

My contention is that George RR Martin is cheating his ASOIAF readers by spending time on other works instead of writing the next ASOIAF novel.

By contrast, I don't think Agatha Christie would have been cheating her Poirot fans in any way by writing Miss Marple novels instead of Poirot ones.

The reason I draw this difference is that you can enjoy (or hate) any particular Poirot book individually. By contrast, you can't really like A Dance With Dragons without knowing if what happens next to some of those characters actually resolves the tension and mystery in a satisfying way (or doesn't resolve it, but in a satisfying meaningful way, like a good open ending).
I’m not sure which one was more badass, the surgeon or the patient.
Yes, if you're going to rebase, rebase your feature branch. Do not do it on the shared staging/dev etc.

FWIW, most of the books published today have been self published. The books handled by publishers are just the tip of the iceberg.

As for those skills - these are skills common to every entrepreneur, including authors who work with publishers (they still need to do their own promotions and market research - they are the ones who propose new series to the publishers, after all).
This is how it should have been. I continue to say to this day, if things were really that bad, people would have tested/vaccinated/masked/locked down on their own volition. They would not have to have been mandated or compelled to do so. The moment the hard censorship and cancelling came out to any narrative contrary to the official one, it should have been obvious there was something fishy going on. Unfortunately, people were too wrapped up in fear/hatred to think rationally.

I say, you have it right and your coworkers are less so. Encourage your coworkers to be secure in their work. Show your struggles, false starts, mistakes, typo fixes. Embrace the messy history!

My last few teams' workflows and projects were such that commit history wasn't really a big deal. I'm skeptical that it matters if the dev-to-production process is smooth.

These tips are habits we have:

Keep commit message first line to under 50 characters, use imperative mood, capitalized. If you need more than that to describe what's going on then the commit might be too big.

PRs must pass all continuous integration tests + 1 or 2 devs approval. Pretty much always do what a dev suggests in review, even if you disagree.

Optionally, squash merge PRs to master, to make reverting easier. I prefer that.

If a feature is very complicated, break it down into smaller tasks, merging each to master when completed.

Maybe use a feature branch for super complicated inextricably tasks, but doing that too often is a code smell.

In that situation, code history isn't really that important.

That said, if you're still keen, look up these commands:

git commit --fixup {commit id}
git reset --soft {something}
git rebase -i --autosquash {commit id}

Lots of force pushing, will be needed, but never, ever force push to a shared branch unless every one agrees and is aware.

Those can straighten out your history right out.

I don't really think that's true either, though obviously it has to be at least a little riskier to release an exploit; like, a fact pattern that has actually happened before is "someone writes an exploit, and a friend uses that exploit to steal a bunch of credit cards; the exploit writer is culpable as a co-conspirator". But just releasing an exploit by itself is I think --- NOT A LAWYER, TALK TO A LAWYER --- pretty safe.

This also comes up in discussions about exploit markets: you can sell an exploit to a bounty program, or to Zerodium or whatever, but people always think you can make more (for instance, if it's some dumb SQLI, more than the $0 the public exploit markets will pay you for it) by selling "on the dark web". But if you're selling a bug that only lets you exploit some specific SAAS application "on the dark web" to some anonymous criminal (or someone a jury will think you should have known was a criminal), you're taking a chance that a prosecutor will make a case that you took money to facilitate a specific crime that they're now going to charge you with.
I remember using Linux with libc.so.4 & .5 (which were not based on glibc code). libc 4 used a pre-ELF scheme called a.out, and libc 5 used ELF. When Linux distros started to adopt GNU libc 2.x, the soname was 6 (to be obviously higher than previous versions) and they promised the new ELF symbol versioning scheme which meant that the version number would never have to change again. So here we are.
I think clean commit history is overrated as long as your squash and merge prs into main. I’ve tried clean commits using rebase and I just don’t think overhead for me personally is worth it. What’s more important is small PRs. And if you can’t do that usually find spending some time reviewing the code with the reviewee is also helpful

I'm not sure why a bunch of commenters are dismissing the idea of hiding faces by placing emoji over them. That's already a thing. I see it a lot on photos that are shared online. It's a good alternatives to having to carefully frame or crop an image to hide objects and faces you don't want others to see.
I believe they are also moving their front end to another Google project too https://lit.dev/ not sure where they are on that.

As a side note to the original post, I wish gRPC-web was better supported or alternatively that WebTransport gets standardised quickly. I would love to be able to using gRPC in web apps, it’s such a pleasant experience relative to passing JSON back and forth.

Most of the gasses we pull from the ground are byproducts of oil and natural gas production. We don't pull them from the ground because we want them on their own, we just go ahead and capture them because they are coming up with the stuff we want for fuel - they'll still continue to be captured (or worse vented to the atmosphere) as long as we're pulling those fuel sources from the ground.

Industrial CO2 also mostly comes not from the ground but from other industrial processes.
