Non-human emotions are an interesting topic and I’d expect the same perceived behaviour could come up from all sorts of different origins, but, as I have seen my friends (and myself) with mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and spiders that live with humans and their behaviours, I’m not surprised to conclude they have their own emotions.

When I was in high-school, I had a fish, a Banded knifefish, who welcomed me home every afternoon by standing upright on its tail by whatever side of the aquarium I was. I gave it food at the end of a stick and played games where it would hunt the food. If sometimes, if I stopped moving the stick it’d come to my side of the aquarium and stare at me until the stick started moving again.
Auto-expiration dates won't help, the duration will be extended ad infinitum, because think of children. Unless you require quantifiable evidence of law's efficacy and causality to make an extension, which is quite a proposition given how every other law is unconditional. Even then, the data can be cooked.
It's not a spin. The word "intervened" may mean anything from talking to people to military intervention. USA officials talked about who would be good for them in Ukrainian government, granted some loans etc., while Russia put soldiers in Crimea parliament, annexed Ukraine territory and started war that continues till this day.

USA talked, while Russia started a war. Both can be understood as interventions, but they are not equivalent.
Quite agree, and as a paid user myself I would strongly recommend you don't go paid.

Evernote just keeps getting worse. They add things with negative utility (like the annoying new "home" screen that you have to click past to get to your actual notes while basic features like "search", and the app's speed are significantly worse than they were a few years back.
> What we have now is "stuff happens, sometimes that sucks."

I think this is exactly the scenario where conspiracy theories thrive. It’s really hard for people to accept that stuff happens and sometimes that sucks. We need to assign a “reason”. Preferably a reason that makes us feel like it wouldn’t or couldn’t happen to us.
I switched from Evernote to obsidian.md last year and am very happy with my purchase. You have to pay for the ability to sync between devices but I'm okay with that.

I guessed I missed the memo. Which countries are on this list?

Belarus? It's already a Russian puppet state.

Georgia? Been there, done that.

The Turkic states? They don't really fit into the Rus ethnostate mythos.

The Baltics? They are already in NATO.
It’s certainly changed my mind.

Now, part of my vetting process for new services is “can I not just get my data out, but also the metadata I care about?”. That’s done with the first few projects/documents/whatever, and then because of being bitten in the past, I know I must do the same export at least twice a year in order to know that the company has not silently restricted it.
Disclaimer: I have little experience with chess but i see good reason for that from a theory of game trees kinda angle.

> Why are chess puzzles not 50% about spotting and preventing attacks?

Chess is a problem where you need to reason about all the actions your opponents can do. Since a lot of chess teaching tradition comes from a linear medium (books) they have a trouble representing how an attacker would attack differently against if different defensive move are played. This problem does not exist as attacker as one can force certain moves on the defender. Thus the branching factor of the puzzle can often be contained. If books would represent the branching reactions, the book will also spoil which moves to pick, finding a solution to a chess problem would be reduced to reading all the replies and pick the most favourable. Another problem is that "defend for 6 rounds" or "defend all material" might allow and train solutions which survive satisfy that criterion but cause the player to loose (a sacrifice would have been the only way to prevent losing) while solutions exists where this isn't the case. In a linear medium it is not possible to handle that well without just printing a solution and say that is the right one.

> Any advice to train that specifically?

You need to leave the linear medium. This is possible very easily by playing certain board configurations against an AI. However generating such a board positions for which there is a few or even one unambiguous chain of moves that constitutes a valid defense is difficult. My wild guess is that they are near the border of endgame libraries for both players. I think a chain of moves would constitute a valid defense if it leads to a state which is in the players winning end game library for all actions the opponent takes however to make this puzzle difficult this chain of move needs to be hard to find and other moves must be actually bad. My proposal would be to search for board positions where the vast majority of moves including some promising moves lead to a position in the attackers end game library while there exists one chain of moves which independent of actions of the attacker lead to a position in the endgame library of the defender. Caveats: finding moves at the border of the two endgame libraries with these properties might be hard. Many positions of these are likely synthetic and would never arise in natural play.
> At this point it's safe to assume that this is always the unstated part of the plan. Keeping individual areas destabilized

If you read the article, it's all about how the instability is harming U.S. strategy in the region because the coups trigger laws that require the U.S. to break off partnerships:

> But U.S. commanders have watched with dismay over the past year as military leaders in several African allies—including officers with extensive American schooling—have overthrown civilian governments and seized power for themselves, triggering laws that forbid the U.S. government from providing them with weapons or training.

And lists several examples of that happening, such as:

> Last year, a logistics advisory team from Col. Sullivan’s brigade had just arrived in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital, and was waiting out its Covid-19 quarantine at a hotel when the Biden administration decided to cancel the deployment “due to our deep concerns about the conflict in northern Ethiopia and human-rights violations and abuses being committed against civilians,” according to a State Department spokesperson.

This disruption has opened the doors to other countries to take United State's place:

> Malian commandos attended U.S.-led special-operations exercises in Mauritania in 2020, but were cut off from American training after its military overthrew the president last May. The Malian junta hired Russian mercenaries from the Kremlin-linked Wagner Group to provide security.

The average income here is several sigmas right of what most people make. Mostly from writing software that isn't being given away for free. It isn't like this is some hippie commune. The vast majority of people here are in software to make money. Hopefully a lot of money.

It isn't the kind of place where acting entitled because you didn't get your free lunch makes you look good. I think it would be a bit more dignified to be thankful when something is free (as in beer or otherwise), but respect that some things aren't. For exactly the same reasons most of us are here: to make a living.
According to the Constitution of Ukraine, impeachment would have involved a) formally charging the president with a crime; b) a review of the charge by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine; and c) a three-fourths majority vote – i.e. at least 338 votes in favor – by the Rada.

Of that three — that all had to happen — exactly zero happened. Instead, the Verkhovna Rada declared that Yanukovych "withdrew from his duties in an unconstitutional manner" and cited "circumstances of extreme urgency" as the reason for early elections.

This can be taken to a direction of "democratic transfer of power under extraordinary circumstances". This also can be taken to a direction of "unconstitutional coup d'etat". The direction depends on the goals one's trying to achieve.
I think there is a part of this survival question regularly unanswered: Who will want live after surviving a nuclear war?
Yeah, not the same somehow. I stopped by twice over the past year or so but the mojo is gone.
You’re doing fine.

From reading your post, my intuition tells me you’re learning & adapting at an above-average rate within a pretty average dev team.

Focus on the meta things:

- Eat well. Snack on celery & carrots.

- Sleep well. Minimum 7 hours a night and a consistent schedule.

- Divide your time clearly (have fixed work time, fixed chore time, fixed recreation time, and a flexible buffer that can be applied to whichever of those three calls for it).

- Practice async communications. Ignore all emails & messages (do not disturb mode) while focused. Set an hourly reminder for checking emails (see Alarmed on iOS). When enough accumulate, deal with them in batch. Advertise to others a means which you can be reached immediately for urgent matters (I let phone calls through DND mode).

- Hold your tongue when your assumptions are unfounded. Respond later.

- Collect articles (both work docs & internet articles) into a reading list. Sort it briefly each time you sit down to do some reading (which should be regular, but not too long).

- If you cringe when thinking about a mistake you made, don’t block out the memory. Let it flow over & through you. It takes practice, but eventually you’ll be able to exploit your mistakes for learning rather than experience suffering whenever you’re reminded of them. Some people never make this development, and continue to suffer into their twilight years. It’s part of emotional maturity — to be able to reflect and grow, rather than simply shy away from difficult areas (“I’m not good at math, my brain just gets all muddled and I always mess up. It’s too stressful.”).

- Don’t forget to breathe. It regulates so much.

Beware of more specific and/or opinionated advice from any source. It may be easy to misinterpret due to over-summarisation, or may be subject to survivorship bias (people who are succeeding will more readily share advice, but it’s often the words of those who are failing or have previously failed that would benefit you the most to hear). This applies to my advice too :)
I know it's biased because it's an opinion from a competitor, but it's interesting nevertheless:

The next one or two decades after such war will be quite painful.

Also it might rob humans their chance to be able to cope with actual existential threads.

It also might lead to further wars, including nuclear ones.

Oh no, there's plenty of papers like that. There's plenty of people claiming the ideas are "wrong" but typically they seem to misunderstand what they are critiquing. Here's a few papers from Stephanie Kelton (née Bell), for example, including ideas concrete enemigo to have been critiqued and then responded to:

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=968...

There are many other academic authors with plenty of critiqueable ideas, but Kelton has been the most prominent as far as I can tell, and also Bourne most of the burden of being critiqued, often completely unfairly and unseriously.
They do have an interest in making sure you can’t take your data with you if you leave which I would argue is a type of screwing you over.
Looking at the devastation of wildfires it is hard to imagine that effects could be so contained. A nuclear war would be the biggest source of ignition imaginable in close proximity to forests and cropped fields.

Also, I am a bit cautious about the line about densely populated areas. A city has the manpower to take control of its rural hinterland, provide workers for manual work, and outgun opposition. It may turn out to be more resilient in the long run. An isolated ranch seems secure right up until 100 guys from the local city show up.
That makes sense. I'm always interested in solutions that can meet two very different groups at the same time

Is it not just perception? And an arbitrary choice (in the POV) in presenting a "chess problem"? Dependent on ranking?

I play defensively so with that underlying mindset I solve chess problems to improve my tactical acuity/prowess ("Beware of that blunder!").
For that I naturally flip the board in my mind back and forth ("What blunder happened?") and at times go through the back-history of moves when I wonder: how the hell did that happen?

I played with some higher ranked player whom I would consider "highly aggressive" but who turned out to be quite defensive players when competing with similar/higher ranked ones, so there is also that ;) Why play defensive if you are way better at anticipating and spotting blunders. So, this comes back full circle at the importance of building a solid base.
Personally, I have little doubt that there is misinformation coming from both sides. My local media is only demonising one side of the conflict which makes for a good narrative but seems unlikely. This definitely doesn't make either side innocent, nor does it mean that one side is solely responsible for all of the war crimes.

I absolutely do not condone what is happening, I believe that we'll need 15-20 years before the truth starts coming out. Plus a lot more time after that to even have a chance of seeing what really happened.

>Audio (while in some respect capable) is a nightmare, the interface is unstable and breaks about once a year in my experience.

I don't know if I understand, something like flash would probably do its own mixing and only use AudioBufferSourceNode. That seems to be what Emscripten uses and I haven't heard about any major breakages there.

>You can't do pixel-perfect rendering (People keep promising that you can - the last time I checked was a few months ago - the DOM rendering architecture is deeply wretched when it comes to pixel-access).

You can though, with WebGL. The point is you avoid the DOM just like what the Flash VM did.

>and Adobe Animate allows for HTML5 animation export nowadays, but that's somewhat short of a full interactive app pipeline.

This is what I'm asking though. How is it different? It seems the pipeline is completely the same except instead of exporting to SWF you export to HTML5.

> And often they don't perform so well as the flash runtime.

I'm actually asking why can't you still use a port of the flash runtime that's done in WASM. I think you misunderstand my question. If the compatibility was there you could also get Scaleform to work with no changes.
As far as I can tell, there's no multi-user features in org-roam.

It uses a SQLite database to keep track of files and UUIDs, so multiple user access is going to be difficult.
> His main evidence is that the effect on weather of the soot produced by the oil wells burning in Kuwait in 1991 did not match the nuclear winter theory predictions.

As made by some of the original nuclear winter paper authors.

Mostly going from memory there's a lot that's wrong, unsupported, questionable, or nor longer relevant about the TTAPS paper. The easily unbalanced one dimensional model of the atmosphere, where there are no winds or oceans, particles can just go up and down. No support for the size range of soot produced. Very few cities in the US or USSR with enough fuel to produced real firestorms like the Tokyo one in WWII. And now many many fewer nukes in both nation's inventories.

This "there are options" bit does not help most of the million people stuck waiting 100+ years for the same immigration that their equally qualified colleagues complete in 18 months.

The false equivalence of a 100+ year wait with some vague "Indian politics and bureaucracy" is not relevant. "Romanian politics and bureaucracy" and "Cuban politics and bureaucracy" may be worse than "Indian politics and bureaucracy", but that is not at discussion here. What matters is that Romanian and Cuban H1Bs have an 18 month green card wait time.

And the author clearly considers this unfair process more than "annoying". To him, it is perhaps closer to humiliating and debilitating, which is partly why he has chosen to put up with it no longer.

It merely normalises another means of control, and sets a behavioural precedent for similar such restrictions and documents in the future. As always the problem usually isn't with the very first use of anything, but what governments think they can get away with after testing the waters.
> Developed countries want stability in their allies/trading partners

If you take a look at our history and our actions with our "allies" and "trading partners", do you see that to be true? Say for example with our immediate neighbours like Mexico? How about our history with Haiti the moment they became independent? Does it seem like we wanted stability for them?

How about our history with Panama, Granada, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Columbia, etc? I'm assuming everyone is familiar with the history of why and how the term banana republic got coined.

Oh, how about our history with Cuba?

It seems to me that your statement is not an accurate representation of history for those specific cases. Do you feel that's a fair perception of reality?

And yet people still question weather M1 are consoles and claim they are real computers. They're not. They're really nice, proprietary consoles with cut corners. And most users will never notice the hardware cut corners because they stay within Apple's walled garden and never open the hardware.
