First of all, I am not a Russian, not paid by Russia and 100% chance I can't prove it to you that I am not a troll, so I don't care, that's clear. What I can tell you is, I don't trust USA with its politicans like

* George Bush

* Hillary Clinton (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlz3-OzcExI happy for destroying a nation)

* Joe Biden (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=927i2HAgxms telling how he suggested bombing Belgrade)

* Colin Powell (famous lier, who lied to invade another country) and many more stupid politicians.

I don't trust Putin as well, but that's not main issue here, my concern is ordinary people, like you and me are dying! for what? they even don't know. Imagine you wake tomorrow with bombs are dropped in your neighborhood, would you care about what Biden or Putin is talking about? No, you will try to save your family, because they are civilians like you and me. My guess is, this war is because of geopolitical games (not my expertise, just thinking out loud), not because we deeply care about Ukrainian people or Russians, we just care about our pockets, and selfish imperialism. If they don't obey us, let the regime change!
US bombed and killed many civilians in bombing of yugoslavia in 1999... even hit a passenger train and then had to speed up the footage to make it seem like an accident - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grdelica_train_bombing (also a bus, tv station, many more bridges, tobacco factory, a group of escaping refugees, etc.)

This is urban warfare... ukrainian army hides in civilian buildings, shoot down at russian soldiers and tanks, tanks shoot back, and the damage a tank does is what you then see on tv. There were (now removed) videos on youtube, of ukrainian people trying to get the ukranian army out of their apartment building just because of that.

But looking at history, when US kills civilians, they arrest the whistleblower and threathen the webpage owner - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_12,_2007,_Baghdad_airstri... - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Manning

>Had to think about it for a second didn't you.

No, no reasonable person had to think about it for a second..
Isnt the more modern version of this the new age movement where people think they can just "manifest" success just by meditating on it? Books(The Secret) and speakers talk about asking the universe for something and "manifesting" that it will happen and then not understanding why they're stuck living in an apartment with 3 people at 40 years old.
This isn't so simple.

Solar and wind are not just intermittent on a day to day basis, they are intermittent on a seasonal one -- as we saw last year the wind can not blow as strong for months at a time. Much of Europe could be blanketed with a large weather system for days cutting the sun and so forth.

Even flow batteries simply can't store enough energy, hydro storage is limited by geography and other solutions are currently niche and have yet to prove scale up. Green hydrogen probably has the most promise as a large scale storage technology that's close enough to natural gas to make workable.

Energy is so critical to our civilizations that you can't just make assertions that it'll be OK, you need to be certain. Getting it wrong can be terminal.
On the other side of the line, both Windows and macOS do client-side decorations too. Most developers do not realize that, but it is being done in process of each client, by the libraries that are mandatory to link to on these platforms.

If is difficult to synchronize two different processes to do frame-perfect rendering. In the end, it is unnecessary complexity, when you can do in-process.
This is a massive generalisation. It is very easy to write bad code in any language.

Well, bad on a large scale. Go in particular has some nice tools to ensure code at a small scale is always good (enforcing syntax style), but no language can stop you from having a bad project architecture.

"Just names for things that are useful to think about" for which you have no empirical evidence, but they are identities/categories that you find useful, interact with, and that exist through time. Are they real?

>You're pretending the US shot, bombed and killed all those civilians, when in fact that was an Iraqi-on-Iraqi sectarian civil war that produced such high civilian deaths,

Typing this and not realizing the obvious parallels to the Donetsk and Luhensk regions of Ukraine is laughable, and forces me to assume you lack the background necessary to make a real comparison between these two situations.
>The future is renewable.

So what should they do in the present?
Going to respectfully disagree, though maybe we are referring to different images. When I look at images on Redfin, it's clear someone either used HDR or manually edited in the scenes outside the window. To me, this looks like what my eyes would see when in the room vs what the camera itself would show which would either be blown out views outside the windows or the room too dark.

Random example: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Santa-Monica/1319-Harvard-St-90404...
It's closed-source; it lacks the kind of tooling/infrastructure you need for working with larger, state-of-the-art DNNs; and very little AI research is done with it, limiting the audience that can can use the code. Python -- or even Julia -- would have been a better choice.
Looks like it’s been updated. Currently showing 11 services down, some of which have been down for over an hour.
This is my theory: we have missed a critical element of how FOSS got adopted in the industry in the first place. That blind spot explains a lot of the problems we have had with getting compensation to FOSS authors, which has created a whole other set of problems for us to deal with.

In the middle of the S curve for adoption, software development teams were struggling with the fact that someone in finance laughed at the idea of spending money to make money. R&D is a cost center, and anything that reduced costs would make life better for the company. Well, any costs except labor, which are some magic other shade of money that can't tell that you just spent 1000 man hours on something that should have taken 300 but you first had to squeeze another application onto aging hardware that was slower than what some of the developers have at home.

In some cases these people were power tripping. They seemed to enjoy being able to say 'no' to any requests, able to use their purchasing veto power to make you do what they want you to do. Everyone had one of these stories. Many had one about the current employer.

Then along came Open Source. When you said, "I want to use X" and this person said, "We're not paying for that, no," you could cheerily shoot back, "Oh but that's the best part, it's free, so you don't have to pay for it. Have a nice day!" and tralala your way back to your desk while they are left trying to think of a way to force you to do things their way. That is why it's used everywhere. Because nobody could stop us.

So we've democratized the power dynamic quite a bit (you still have general managers forcing teams to use Oracle because otherwise they have to explain why they have been sending that much money to Oracle if half the applications are running on Postgres, so they pull the dick move of banning Postgres), but that money problem is still there, as it always has been. If I can't buy copies of TeamCity, which is commercial software with a commercial license, I sure as hell can't get the company to send $100 with no contract to some internet randos just because I say they're saving us a million dollars a year.

You can't educate your way into fixing that problem. People have been trying literally for decades. There's a plumbing problem here, and until that gets fixed you can plead with people all you want to fund OSS, but it's not going to happen.
> a cellphone can beat all but the absolute top end dedicated cameras and even then only for niches

Until you zoom in, and then it's all a big smudge. Unless you are talking about $1k+ cellphones only, which is outside of the price range of most.
Considering that Russia is literally shelling civilians with intent and sending captive civilians to gulags, I think their options boil down to:

a) die, or,

b) fight to death with so-so chances of survival.

It is not a choice between:

x) to live under Russian rule(impossible as Russians don’t tolerate life)

x) or die(possible but not a choice).

As such, recommending a surrender is just trolling. Blame Russians for that!
Mathematical thinking is actually pretty easy to characterize as thinking that is equipped with a proof checker. Mathematics itself is then just the study of proof checkers. Interestingly, this places much of it firmly as a subset of the natural sciences, as proof checkers are physically realizable as compilers (well, certain compilers anyway).

Anything else you bring to the study of mathematics is a heuristic, made admissible by composition with the proof checker. Many of these heuristics seem universal, but they aren't, and it's harmful to assume so.
Not really following this article:

"Likewise, if two mouse embryos are mushed together like a snowball, a single, normal mouse results"

And

"This is intelligence in action: the ability to reach a particular goal or solve a problem by undertaking new steps in the face of changing circumstances"

I write software that can account for changes in context and still reach a particular goal. This is not new, creating TCP from UDP where the network can constantly be changing is not something that I will call "Intelligent". The guy(s) that created the original algorithm are, but the network packets themselves are not.

There are differences between intelligence and just following well crafted procedures.
>It's likely the Russians have exceeded that number in Mariupol alone in just a few weeks.

I was recently contracted to help with a (very small!) Mac app written in SwiftUI where they had hit a hard wall on implementing a couple fundamental UI features and needed that part of the UI rewritten in AppKit. "That part of the UI" is about 80% of the surface area of the apps' main window. (Worth noting that the app current deploys to macOS 12, so even the latest deployment target isn't good enough to get us there.)

AppKit may go away eventually, but _today_ it's still required to write a good Mac app even if you can use SwiftUI for large portions.

My experience on this project has also taught me that AppKit can be made to play quite nicely with SwiftUI. The AppKit code is encapsulated well, and from the outside gets instantiated and included exactly as if it were a SwiftUI component.
I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on a different alternative, given you probably have better insight into the game's difficulty than I do. I think fans appreciate a sense of "fairness" [1] from Elden Ring and it seems very similar to Celeste in a lot of ways. Part of me wonders if that's a visual communication thing?

Enemies (and especially bosses) in FromSoftware games usually have big, slow, windups. It's visually interesting and a big part of getting to know the openings like you mention. I find I have to empirically learn the cause/effect of those animations though, or I find I can't necessarily know how big Godrick's wind attack is without experiencing it a few times first. I sometimes wonder how the game would play if there was more visual information on the safe zones of attacks that the player could intuit. Or, I've noticed that my friends have gotten frustrated when they've gotten hit and not known why. Thoughts? Maybe it ruins the magic though.

All that said, I think Elden Ring is overall fine as it is.

Could you suggest some links?

I'd be very happy with renewables+batteries, but the fact it's so quiet suggests to me this isn't so simple. Certainly in Northern Europe where dark, windless winters exist - i.e. you need storage potentially for weeks, not a small few hours.
“original” jerrycans don’t have that distinction, because the purpose of the extra handles are even more so for water: carrying two empties in one hand doesn't change, but the ability to share one can between two people is even more useful when carrying 20L water (20kg) than 20L gasoline (15kg).
As a sports photographer, I disagree. There's no stacking multiple frames in my world.

Also, as a portrait photographer, I disagree too. Until we can use flashes properly, I'm not getting rid of my camera.

Plus, dynamic range isn't everything.
It depends on your definition of "fairly quickly." Within months to years, yes. Within weeks, no.

Context matters, no? I didn't say bash was inferior to other Bourne-alike shells. I said Bourne-alike shells all suffer from a common problem - they have to implement a "language" that has inconsistencies in it.

A lot of people love bash, and a lot of people bash bash, but I'm personally aware that not "virtually everyone" hates it.
This just sounds like one big confusion of the map for the territory. What you are describing are abstract concepts. The fact that concepts are not 'real' in that they are not physical entities isn't much of an indictment of empiricism, nor does science claim to employ empiricism alone without any foundation of conceptual rationalism.
Even without the ecosystem, it seems like the actual UI experience is different enough that it would be the dominant factor. Every time I switch back and forth between Android and iOS it's like whiplash. They do tend to copy each other heavily, so it's converging, but there are still plenty of behavioral differences.

Professional developers need to be paid. A big question is, how do you go about doing it?

Donations don't work. Even recurring ones. Large companies have legal hurdles in paying that way. The legal hurdles are very large and are legal ones. Things they don't control.

A long tradition has existing among some of setting up a business, having invoices, and providing services for the pay (e.g., some consulting, logo on the site (marketing), etc).

Setting up a business and handling this this way is how other industries have long worked. I think of my local electrician. It's not hard.

Just an idea of how to turn an idea into a practical reality.
“Fools for relying on Russian energy in the first place.”

This is a tough one. Yes, but at same time there was and still is a long term benefit to normalizing Russia’s identity as a “Western” power. That’s a long haul project and Germany/EU wasn’t wrong to engage economically with them, mutually, to that end.

Given the history of Germany/Russia in particular, this mutual dependence is arguably working exactly as it was intended - cooling impulses.

Arguably an error to become strategically dependent upon a resource pool you’re not capable of securing for yourself when the chips are down but hasn’t that ever been Germany’s post-industrial challenge? Much to the world’s relief, I might add.

And I'm going to make a prediction: Nothing will change because this isn't a political issue. This is a materials science, physics, and chemistry issue. We do have have a battery technology to get around solar/wind intermittency issues. Doesn't matter who is in charge.
>Is there a reason for something like this to be on Twitter?

Easy to catch audience. Yes, you can make a blog post and tweet a link. But tweets without links get more engagement and reach. (Something that can be attributed to users or/and site's algorithm.)
I had no intention of treading into the real-or-not quagmire. I thought I safeguarded myself against that with the concession that I consider belief in general science exactly that—a belief. But perhaps that was unclear.

The 'disproven' part was also deliberately parenthetical and only indirectly linked to religion, with the used notions of proof and veracity both subject to the aforementioned concession.

Forgive my defensive parsing here, but it's important to me that I don't present myself as someone who feels he 'knows the truth'. My intent was to say that I don't.
There are loads of "modern" apps that can't be uninstalled from Win10. Some are in the list but you're not allowed; some aren't in the list.

But it's easy to copy-and-paste a bit of Powershell and just uninstall them anyway:

> The problem is continuous lack of enforcement

Yeah, but it's hard to enforce a law at scale when the difference between legal and illegal behavior is not obvious to a layperson. The law is too technical.

It also has shouldn't have options where a user can simply allow further data collection, since this makes it hard clearly say whether a certain practice is legal or not, since it "will depend".

This creates more friction to enforcement. If things were more clear-cut, enforcement could be automated, and you would probably see those fines roll out.

It is harder to say "this software library is illegal to use in the EU" if there are certain circumstances where it's not.
Non-STEM viability, in any sustainable sense, is a productivity problem.

It's similar to the debate around onshoring manufacturing. There is a clear and simple (not easy, simple) way we can have more blue-collar workers making livable wages in the United States, despite that livable wage requirement being much higher than what other countries require to produce the same goods - improve either the quality of the outputs or the productivity of each laborer. My understanding is this is how Germany held such a strong position in manufacturing for years - by doing things better. It's also why one of the most direct blue-collar paths to a six-figure salary in the U.S. is machine shop work, because the U.S. has, in some regions, maintained the ability to produce parts that cannot be produced more cheaply elsewhere, by developing and maintaining a highly skilled workforce and the tools to support them within that particular sector.

Put in the negative sense - I would be curious to know what the average profit generated by an average farmworker is these days, after both internal and external expenses are taken into account, and how much slack there is between the wages they are currently earning and that profit. My understanding from family-owned / smaller operations is that running a farm in 2022 is really hard and really expensive, and that there isn't a whole lot of slack there right now.

Of course, there is a solution other than increasing productivity - a giant mess of regulatory and fiscal policy that, in direct and indirect ways, subsidizes the industry in a way that makes paying farm workers a livable wage tenable in a way a truly free market would not bear. And those policies are reasonable and even desirable within certain frameworks, and furthermore may be necessary as an interim step toward increased productivity. But wouldn't it be better for America to be able to subsidize a whole bunch of six-figure salaries not simply because that is what people need to live (i.e., that it is a public good to have six-figure salaries, and so we will take on public cost to ensure they exist), but because we have a whole bunch of people that generate six-figures annually in productivity?

Obviously, this is all empirically justifiable or refutable, so if I'm totally off my rocker qualitatively and if there's something offensive here like, "each farmworker actually generates $1.1MM/yr in pretax profit for the average farm employer", then let's frame all that out and legislate til the cows come home. And once they're home, too.

I completely agree about the Russian brain drain issue, and about the extreme cost of sending young Russian men (many of whom are only sons) off to die. All of it, on all sides, is a huge waste and tragedy.

However, with regards to your statement about overt military operations threatening Russia, have you considered all the covert stuff? The CIA have been running operations in Ukraine for a long time and I think it would be fair to say that the Orange Revolution was helped along by Western intelligence agencies.

The ADA is the best example of why you need to actually give a law teeth for it to be enforced, and how well it can work when you do.
