Of course there will be someone with a contrary opinion in almost every controversial issue. The key is to closely scrutinize the competing arguments based on the strength of the argument, the available data, and your moral compass, and make your judgment based on those. Personally, I am biased towards the positions that are based on the most intellectually-rigorous arguments supported by voluminous data; and I'd hope the type of people who frequent HN do the same, regardless of their political affiliation.
Didn't say that wasn't happening. I'm saying the implication that Russia is running a "clean" war is, well, "not true" to keep it diplomatic.

Edit: re "you are a fool" maybe tone down the personal attacks?
I've once read a blog entry from a developer who was hired to speed up some piece of software. He achieved a few hundred fold speed up. Not primarily because he is so good (though he is), but because the original developer had a large matrix of numbers stored as a 2d-array of strings and converted them back and forth whenever he had to do an operation on that matrix. You simply can't make up the shit that some people will do.

I sense this internal data is flawed. I imagine the vast majority of users weren't even aware they could change things. Don't attribute people not changing something because of genuine preference when complacency and ignorance makes much more sense.

That being said I'm 100% sure they want to keep as many people on the old algorithm and this is just fluff.
Particularly towards the endgame, could sneaky players attempt moves that they believe will be invalid given their opponent's likely behaviour, in order to infer what those moves could have been?

This is an interesting project. I'm not sure I'd pay $1000/year in the current configuration as I don't have any projects that could justify it, but I would certainly pay to get insight into how other devs are setting up their projects as well as their development environment and deployment pipeline (maybe in a community format?). For example I have a shortlist of things "I need to read-up on" when it comes to my Python/Django projects. Things like Poetry, Pre-commit, Black, TOML files etc. as well as deployment choices (Render, Fly, DO Apps). These are things that I know will be useful but I just haven't had time to configured and look into. Things like django-coookiecutter are great, but they only really cover the project structure.

Thanks. Completely agree on the contrast to rails... This has been a super interesting process for myself in thinking through "what are the parts of Django that are either way too clunky, or just completely outdated?" I think there's more than a couple... There are a lot of things I realized I have just gotten used to, but people new to Django would find super odd (why aren't emails required to be unique on users by default?).

My opinion is that the backbone should always be decentralized and open. i.e. the internet.

What is built ontop of it can be pseudo-centralized and/or regulated if needed but there is always the technical ability to re-decentralize if needed. My main concern is that I want the creation to outlast the creators/controllers. What happens if an important company gets bought and its IP split up? What if the new owners simple disable the product or put it behind a paywall. Look at bittorrent, the new owners completely screwed it up but the protocol + previous implementations could continue to be used. Look at Facebook's double standard of how they censor content.

I personally think anything that is popular + important enough to be used by much of the world should always have an open backbone should things go wrong with the current company+implementation. Open source is a form of decentralization. I also think decentralization of networks (backbones) is important to prevent one organization from achieving a "network affect" that makes them the central authority on a given resource (facebook, twitter, etc...)
That's because you know "the new classic" and "the containers" not something else. If you knew NixOS or Guix System you you knew that for far less you can get far more.

A small example: IoT is now a must for modern houses with p.v. etc, Home Assistant is the most well known FLOSS solution. They suggest to deploy it via a docker image, so you need few Gb on disk just for it, relative ram etc. If you deploy via pip is just 321Mb, nothing else. Actually many system package managers support pip integration.

Not only, my entire home infra configuration is an org-mode file, easy to read, share, move just ~2000 lines, with a ks infra? I probably need around 4-5 time the lines in crappy YAML with constant babysitting to keep anything up to date. My actual infra is just two desktop, a laptop, a homeserver and few IoT devices (p.v. system, VMC controlled via ModBUS interface from the homeserver, few others goodies). The sole crappy YAML config for HA is four time* the entire NixOS infra config.

In a single click (on an org-mode link to tangle the config and on org-babel to run terminator and a script inside it) from one desktop or server I can generate a new custom NixOS iso for any other system, copy it to a tftp share for boot or on a ventoy-managed usb stick/ssd and manually boot the target machine. That machine will became the exact functional copy of the original one. With docker and classic distro? Well RH have kickstart is a bit less nightmarish than preseed and it's also limited, build a custom iso is a long process anyway, for Debian based is even longer. I do not know for Arch and co. A custom NixOS iso is just a single (or more, if I want them split) file passed to nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.system.build.isoImage -I nixos-config=isoconfig.nix for Guix is just slightly longer.

With Plan 9 well, I do not even need an ISO since the infra is also the network... Countless of services and relevant network protocols are meaningless in a live plan 9, for instance sending emails potentially do not demand SMTP, the sender MUA just mount the network share of the recipient and save a file there. All is built-in in the system. Reading a website? The same: mount the exposed filesystem and open documents with your favorite viewer. Want something on another machine? Just open their relevant graphic display and there you go, no need for anydesk/bomgar/teamviewer/citrix/guacamole/*

But I can add more: no need for big cloud infra. These days we have enough bandwidth and computing power to have essentially all the real redundancies we need at home, that scale with the scale of the owner.
> and an inflated sense of Russia's desires to commit cruel atrocities for the sake of it

There are two kinds of people: those who had to deal with Russian military, and those who spout nonsense like the one above.
When a military unit operates out of civilian infrastructure, that infrastructure becomes a "clean" target, to use your terminology. That is well-established law of war, accepted by every nation on the planet.

I'm a kde user as well, and since I'm on ubuntu and thinking about switching to something else I did a quick search to see if it was possible to run kde on mint and it appears you can. You have to add the kubuntu backports ppa ("sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports") and then you can install kde using apt ("sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop").

I haven't tried this, so I don't know if it actually works well or not, but it is apparently possible.

Woops! Corrected.
> Russia has no interest in massacring and torturing civilians (if they did, they would have won the war weeks ago)

Well, they don't have that as their end goal, just as the method of choice for accomplishing their real goal (capturing territories + forcing Ukraine to surrender). Because if they did, you are correct, that wouldn't make sense, since they could've just done it earlier.

Wiping out a country serves no purpose, no benefit, and attracts massive downsides all around. But harming them to the point where they would consider surrendering those territories and capitulating, that makes way more sense.
Hard disagree, but it doesn't really matter ultimately. I think we just need to be careful sanitizing Russia's tactics.
>"winning hearts and minds" approach didn't really accomplish anything.

Agent orange, Mỹ Lai massacre, Abu Ghraib, hundreds of thousands of dead, millions of maimed, displaced, financially ruined, starved (check heartwarming reply of Madeleine Albright in regards to 500,000 kids dead by starvation and desease). Well the list can go on and on.

I fail to see even a trace of "winning hearts and minds" approach here.
Even where I live there is the 110 to pasadena, one of the oldest freeways there is (if not THE oldest) and some of the shortest onramps you've ever seen. Even then, you do not need to go from 0-60 in five seconds to safely merge.

And with the 120 on the other end, sure, maybe the engines are good for that, but why even allow the car to go that fast? Why not just put in a speed limiter? Doesn't make much sense why we have all this power imo when the driving rules and laws were written around cars that probably took 20 seconds to reach 60mph and might have needed to go downhill with a tailwind to breach 75mph. And what do you know, the laws always have to account for these anemic vehicles thanks to just old vehicles and stuff like commercial equipment that is going to be heavy and slow no matter what, so you won't find yourself ever needing more performance to keep up with faster interchanges or anything like that since things are always going to built to these meager performance expectations.

Anti air batteries. Ukraine has several.

I think Russia's incompetent invasion goes to show that Europe can defend itself against Russia (at least discounting Nuclear Weapons, but who can defend there, and not just retaliate). And further more, that they should prepare in order to defend even more capably.

In general some countries in Europe, notably Germany, have been relying on the US and to a lesser extent France, UK and Poland to defend them from Russia. But recent events have caused a change in tack here.
Whether the war was legally initiated or not is totally beside the point of whether the laws of war are observed in its execution. That is why not every Nazi officer was a war criminal, only the ones who committed war crimes, even though they were ultimately carrying out an illegal war of aggression.

They have intentionally bombed hospitals and shelters with civilians. The most prominent case being the theater in Mariupol that had "Children" written next to it so that it would be visible from the air.

Russia is pretty clearly committing war crimes and directly targeting civilians, there is a lot of evidence for that.
Yeah I've been considering that. Probably more likely that I'll lower the price, learn some things, then ramp it up. Free feels hard to reverse and the difference between "I wouldn't pay at all" vs "I'd pay less than that, but something" is pretty big (and important to me unless I figure out another way for the project to get paid for).

absolutely! I was thinking about this also - there would almost certainly be some tradeoff between 'paying' for more information by attempting potentially disallowed moves. For this initial implementation, I figured I would just allow that to be balanced by (being lazy and not trying to code up some special way to handle that, and) just saying 'if you input a legal move, that is your move and no take-backs' :)
Qt does something close to this; dual licensed LGPL and proprietary. Generally larger companies would rather pay the license than risk being noncompliant with some confusing piece of the LGPL. (Also certain stuff like the mobile framework is only proprietary.) Although their proprietary license cost is more than 'a small tribute'...

Anyway, you could maybe have a tri-license:

- GPL/LGPL

- small-company proprietary license ($0)

- large-company proprietary license ($1000)

Although the proprietary licenses mean that despite providing a GPL license, you wouldn't be able to take advantage of outside GPL code. Plus I think you'd need to have any open-source contributors sign away the copyright of their code to you/your project's foundation.

You're gonna have to explain to me how that TV station in central Kyiv was killing Russian soldiers. Explain to me nice and slow. Or are Russian troops so incompetent that they mistake a TV tower for another target?

We know where the Russian troops are, maybe 50km north of Kyiv. None of them are in downtown Kyiv yet, and they certainly weren't there on March 1st (when this video was posted).

The Russian troops at the time were trying to take Hostomel Airport, a few dozen miles north of Kyiv at this time. So there's no military reason to destroy the TV station. It was clearly an attack on civilian infrastructure. (Military communications don't use TV Towers)

If you paid any attention to recent weeks, it would have occurred to you that the rest of Europe would obliterate Russian forces if Russia dared to attack with its absolutely inept ground forces.
Yeah it is so strange to all the young Europeans - until it slaps them in the face once they need a loan and must scramble to learn about it and have to suffer the consequences of having none of it because they thought it's some weird American thing.

The US way is extreme, but credit absolutely does exist here and works the same way - you'll get much better deals for insurance and loans if you have it, and it takes years of payments without issues to build it.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but this is kind of a moot point since the main selling point of Guile was always performance. AFAIK it was never the plan to actually make Emacs use Scheme rather than Elisp---the semantics of the languages just aren't compatible, and it would require throwing away too much of the existing Elisp ecosystem.^[1] Rather, the idea was to modify the better-performing Guile interpreter so that it could evaluate Elisp with the end goal being better performance.

Since the performance wins for native compilation exceed what people had hoped for with Guile Emacs, whether or not Guile Emacs was feasible isn't really that important.

[1] Furthermore: the biggest wart in Elisp compared to modern Lisps like Scheme is that it uses dynamic binding by default. But pretty much everything in Emacs (including third-party packages) declares lexical binding now (which is required for native compilation anyway), and the use of cl-lib nowadays is fairly ubiquitous, so a lot of the arguments about Elisp not being as "nice" as other modern Lisps aren't as compelling as they used to be 15 years ago.
