ASBMilitary was banned from Twitter. They said their reporters in Ukraine were threatened due to the nature of their reporting, which challenged the Ukrainian narrative we're fed in the West.

Of course all Russian-friendly media platforms are banned. The narrative they bring is dangerous to the false image we're creating here in the west.

Social media platforms are waging war on "misinformation", removing content and opposing views en masse. This is not a secret. We're shielded against "propaganda", not aware we're steeped in propaganda.

The funny thing, even western news media reported on the resurgence of the far right and the prevalence of Neo-nazism in Ukraine, as well as its connection with government post-euromaidan. Referencing these very articles gets you stamped as a Russian bot these days.

The fact is that NATO countries are funding and militarizing neo-nazis in Ukraine in order to undermine Russia. And they're shielding them from bad press. Moreover, government forces (of which the neo-nazi militia is part of) has bombarded civilian areas of the seperatist regions for 8 years, and still do, which has killed about 14k civilians. There's complete silence about this injustice in the western press coverage of Ukraine.

What's most concerning is how normalized it has become to hate Russians.

Hacker News’ automatic removal of “How” from article titles can really change the meaning. The modified title looks like a strong, scientific claim. So we end up with lots of obvious ‘Science 101’ comments about correlation vs causation etc.

With “How” in the title, it comes across as what it is: a light popsci/lifestyle piece that should be taken with a grain of salt, but might still contain interesting food for thought/discussion.

An ejection seat is basically a rather powerful small rocket with huge acceleration - much more forceful than what astronauts nowadays experience. Human bodies aren't built for riding such rockets.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t enjoy working for companies where a major goal is “hustle hard, increase velocity, measure and optimize everything”. For what purpose? Making our bosses richer? Maybe taking 1/100th of the value created for ourselves?

In my experience, really gifted people don’t put up with environments like this. But I guess you don’t want that in employees if you’re trying to setup a grind farm.

And they usually win too, because they’re thinking far beyond “solve the problem in front of you”. While you’re making your tape player meet market KPIs, they’re inventing DVDs.

> neo-nazi elements exist in many societies and they're not invading cities with tanks and shelling residential blocks.

Sure. But organized neo-Nazi militias exist in very few societies. And they are embedded into the national gendarmerie in even fewer cases.

Mariupol is of little strategic significance. The only plausible explanation for Russia's obsession with the city is for narrative reasons.
Forcing open APIs for messaging services is a great thing. Let’s hope it won’t be as gimped as PSD2 ended up being for open banking APIs.

Out of the suggested options the client-side bridge sounds best to me! It wouldn’t necessarily be always on when used on mobile devices (background apps tend to get shut down) but at least it could sync once you open the app.

And a home computer bridge that’s mainly on (or VPS/lambda for more advanced users) would be great too and in sync most of the time.

Exciting stuff for Matrix.

On the other hand, people repeating "correlation != causation" ad nauseam is, in my opinion, one of the great success stories of science communication. Proving causation is the singular most difficult general problem across many scientific disciplines, and at the same time our brains are hardwired to conflate correlation with causation. I think that it's simply awesome that so many people are aware of this issue nowadays.

If I understand it correctly it didn't make a 3d model, though. So you can't extract and reuse the result. Only move around in it and it creates an image for that viewpoint. But no meshes or textures.
The one thing about Python that makes it so much more compelling over Bash is that thing you discover you need once your script starts getting long and repetitive: functions, with arguments, and return values. Python does this much better than Bash. It’s the one thing that makes me no longer use Bash. Oh and exceptions. Exceptions!

The TWO things about Python that make it more compelling are functions and exceptions. You stand a chance of handling errors in Python. In bash there’s very little else you can do, when encountering an exceptional situation that is an error, except stop. The nice thing about all these functions is you can put them in modules as well. Modules! Of course! A namespaced way of laying out non trivial amounts of code!

Ok so real functions, exceptions, modules. Three things that makes Python my default tool of choice. And libraries. Bash doesn’t have pip. Sure, bash’s “pip” is the commands it can run aka /usr/bin, but if that’s your interface then it’s hardly as flexible as say gitlab.py or requests.py.

So: apart from the functions, exceptions, modules, libraries. And speed. SPEED! And code formatting. And a debugger. And stack traces. …what has Python ever given us that makes it a no brainer replacement for bash scripts?

Mad cow disease, if it can be transmitted from milk (not sure, though I assume it probably can), will be transmitted at the exact same rate through raw, pasteurized, boiled, and even burnt milk. Destroying prions requires much higher temperatures than can be achieved through boiling.
I drank raw milk for ages. Our neighbours were farmers and we'd get milk still warm from the cow. We'd drink what we wanted immediately, boil the rest for preservation and then put it in the fridge. It tasted amazing fresh compared to being boiled.
Mariupol is on the Azov Sea coastline and the Russians seem to be intent on building a land connection between Crimea and Donetsk. The city and port are literally in the way. This is as strategic as it goes.

What are these, alternative facts?

The US Congress was troubled enough by the Azov Battalion that aid to them was expressly prohibited way back in 2018. Is the US Congress a Russian front too?

Not a lot of people but other people were building similar games at the same time. Carmack gets a lot of recognition because the games were spectacularly successful. For example System Shock was released just a little after Doom and was technically superior. Ultima Underworld was released the year before and had an engine better than Wolf3D. The latter implemented texture mapping first and actually inspired Carmack to do the same.
Calves inherit some antibodies by birth (which I also wonder what sort of antibodies one gets from raw animal milk)
I live in a way where I spend almost nothing, even on food, because I like to limit my footprint and waste, so
I mostly eat raw vegetables at low price (some groceries do that for damaged or very ripe fruits) or free (at the end of markets, I give a quick help to merchants in exchange of vegetables (I got much greens, peppers, avocadoes, anything basically), or I also forage fruits (particularly figs & persimmons), also rice to fill the gaps, sometimes I buy fish at a local fishermonger

I live in south-east of France, where the cost of living is probably similar to your place, and earn around 4000€ net/mo, fully-remote work, my total expenses are easily less than 200€/mo (no car, and very few possessions, most important ones are my laptop + phone for tethering internet and my bike), I can save up money for a house one day

You're just saying Western media is hiding the "facts" but not telling us which facts might these be. Do you mean the bullshit reasons Putin has told the Russian people to justify invading Ukraine? Is the West hiding that he really is there to denazify Ukraine?

Please tell us what the West doesn't want us to know.

Let it be clear, I am quite positive the Western intelligence is doing a massive work of propaganda and happy to be able to silence RT. But this doesn't justify and validate the bullshit story Putin has been telling the world to invade a sovereign country.
The smooth scrolling was easy, the EGA had more or less the same hardware capabilities as a C64 in terms of smooth scrolling. It's just that few or no games had tried to use it. For VGA, Mode X was the real game changer because it allowed to use both double buffering and smooth scrolling at the same time. A later 2D platform game that took Keen's smooth scrolling to the next level is Jazz Jackrabbit.

But as CPUs got more powerful, Carmack recognized that you didn't need hardware help anymore and that removed constraints on what games he could program. Keen to Wolf3D to Doom is when id games went from good to wow to insane.
If you're looking for a pure C++ implementation of Kafka check RedPanda, it seems a viable option since the lack of interest Confluent showed to their open source deployment.
Fermentation such as in kefir, yogurt, cheese and so on is another way of getting rid of the harmful bacteria in milk. It is not as direct or safe as pasteurization or boiling, but it is more than safe enough.

It works by colonizing the milk with harmless bacteria/moulds which oucompete the harmful ones.

They're a very small percentage of Ukraine population.

If ANY country got invaded some of the soldiers defending against invaders are going to be fascists, it's inevitable. If the US got invaded and you wanted to throw out the fascists out of the army you wouldn't have much of an army lol.

Defending against an invasion from a foreign country is not really the time to discuss political ideologies, bullets are bullets, once the russians are out they can go back to making less than 5% of votes...

Gender isn't sex, and people can claim any gender they want. I believe there are hundreds of them nowadays. But with sex, almost everyone is either unambiguously male or unambiguously female, and intersex conditions are close to a rounding error, statistically. Also, trans has nothing to do with intersex, so mixing up all that X and Y stuff into this discussion doesn't really help.
I feel the analogy isn't quite accurate. What you've described is almost strictly a personal matter. Building structures that decimate animal populations and ecosystems is an entirely different matter.

It's just at some point, we gotta question our ability and willingness to double down on narcissism. We build structures and technology that do horrible things to the environment for our own "good" or preference, and then we pat ourselves on the back when we do something about reducing the effects, usually decades later (and usually when it starts to affect us). The lesson learned is that we have got to start asking ourselves about downstream effects of our technology, rather than simply stopping once technology solves the narrow problem it was designed for.

As I mentioned, I do think it's great that these natural bridges are becoming more popular. I sincerely feel the separation we've done to animal populations every time I drive on highways and roads, especially when I see animals that have been killed by cars. The fact that some animals have been able to survive amongst destruction of their habitat is quite amazing. Obviously, many were not able to adapt due to their evolutionary path.

If you and all your family and friends live in a country with a single currency, no bombs over yours or their heads, no serious inflation and no foreseeble risk of account freezes/closures, ATM restrictions and economic sanctions, then you probably can argue that crypto is some fringe tech that brings nothing, but PITA and risks.

But many people have themselves or have family/friends that need to save their money, or escape with their money. Or, recently: escape with all banking cards being blocked and find themselves having to live off Bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies are solving very real problems right now, for millions of people in Latin America, Asia and Europe:

1. They help remit money across the globe: Hawala network is way more scalable since there is a secure global settlement layer - the blockchain. No need to have 3-4 hops through trusted parties. You can directly exchange cash for bitcoin in one place and the opposite in another.

2. They help moving personal cash across the border: if you can't trust or use your bank, you won't be able to safely move more than a small pack of $$$ through customs. Crypto is your only option to save your money.

3. They help you pay the bills wherever you are regardless of your residence/visa status. You may not be able to open a bank account in a foreign country, but you would be able to book a flight, a place to live, pay for taxi, pay for cellphone, pay for food delivery through crypto-interfaces such as cheapair, travala and gift-card gateways like bitrefill to use amazon/uber/airbnb/careem and thousands of other merchants.

That’s ok, just need some level of integration with UE (being able to /integrate with UE camera etc). Specifically interested in using this for LED green screens that sync to a live camera movement (Mandalorian style). Our pipeline uses UE, Nvidia cards and photogrammetry/plates/3D models atm, this could speed things up a lot and require less photos for creating the 3D backgrounds.
Let me begin with the info that I am all for Ukraine and I hope Russia loses their war of aggression badly. Putin's regime is the closest that we have to the Third Reich and/or Stalin's USSR in Europe right now.

But I still cannot help but notice how the Western sensibilities changed from "Punch a Nazi!" (in 2020, when most of those weren't even true Nazis) to "Let's not speak of those actual SS-symbol-sporting troops because they are fighting for the good cause now."

Azov isn't representative of the entire Ukraine, no. That is Russian propaganda. It can be dissolved afterwards, yes. But they are on the far end of the far right, no mistake about that. Ukraine has a troubled history with its minorities, many of the guards in the extermination camps were Ukrainians, Polish minority was once targeted etc. People like Stepan Bandera should never be worshipped.

If Ukraine is to join the EU in the future, Azov battalion must be disposed of, much like Irgun in early Israel was. Hopefully without any bloodshed, but their toying with SS symbols goes too far. Even Poland and the Czech Republic, quite staunch allies of Ukraine, wouldn't tolerate this kind of shit being carried openly in a fellow EU country once the war is over.
Summary: the document is written by a former regular committer to the gedit codebase.

It mentions a few concerns about recent changes to the software and the process surrounding it ('undo' and other frequently-used items of functionality are no longer immediately visible and accessible, scrollbar behaviour has changed, and the author believes that design changes have been made largely for the sake of changing the look-and-feel of the software).

There's a mirror of the gedit codebase on GitHub here: https://github.com/GNOME/gedit/

The addition (and subsequent removal) of the "tepl" text editing library and "amtk" internationalization may also be a point of contention: https://github.com/GNOME/gedit/commit/fa587e033c97fac65dacdb...

Holy... Whatever you do, you're being fleeced. That's easily $40k a year in pre-tax income, JUST FOR FOOD?

For reference, I'm spending around $100 per month (in Poland, where food is a cheaper than in the US, but not hugely). I cook all of my meals from a couple of staples, such as brown rice, legumes, lentils, chickpeas. I bought bulk amounts of them to save money and trips to store. Add veggies (onions, garlic, tomatoes from cans + whatever stuff is cheap at the moment) and lots of spices to that. I usually cook a batch that contains 8-10 of 800-900 kcal servings (which I freeze) to minimize workload. Such meals usually cost under a dollar per meal, even if you include electricity and water costs.

Auto-immune diseases and allergies are nowhere even slightly near as big a problem as dysentery and other food borne illnesses used to be. There are far more people who died of TB from contaminated milk alone than people dieing of allergies.

It's true that other aspects of improved care have also reduced the risk from food borne illnesses - antibiotics, clean water, IV rehydration and others.
While the correlation here turns grip strength into a useful diagnostic sign to stratify patients into risk groups for possible intervention (assistive devices etc.) the authors go on to advise the reader on improving their grip strength, on the implied hypothesis that doing so will reduce the adverse outcomes enumerated earlier in the article. Possibly the effectiveness of that sort of intervention is already know but the whiff of “correlation != causation” for me was only around that question. Possibly that too is already known; I don’t know that literature. But the authors don’t draw that connection and therefore leave the question of correlation and causation open at least from the perspective of their recommended interventions.

No, there is no reason to boil it. But put sugary chocholate powder in it and mix.

No, the practice of drinking raw milk was super common in villages in that region. If you drink it fresh, the bakterias has no time to develop yet. If sickness was so sure, people would be sick constantly.
