Either way, the Russian military leadership looks incompetent.

I would think that it would be more important to Ukraine from a morale standpoint if the missile attack was the cause. To take out the flagship of the Russian fleet with a weapon of Ukrainian design that hadn't previously been proven in battle... that's big. I would expect morale to be a key concern for them given the punishment they're enduring to get these victories.
That's probably a better way of explaining the behaviour. My point was more that this pattern is a very common way of getting a pointer to a primitive type value (since you can't just do &5 in Go). It seems likely that Go would optimise this to just creating a stack allocated value.
Can these problems be circumvented by thinking of non parametric bootstrap methods to directly infer significance from an empirical distribution of not-significant results?

They nearly burned down their only Kuznetsov aircraft carrier and the dock where it was undergoing repairs just two years ago. Being hit by enemy missiles is an improvment.
Well, at least for single apartments/houses (cannot really say for huge multi-apartments buildings) heat pumps that exchange with water exist and are very well suited to in-floor heating (but not suitable for radiators).

The generic issue with heat pumps AFAIK is that they have only a relatively small range of temperatures (outside) in which they are actually efficient, in the sense that (with old prices of energy) they are competitive with gas in costs, I believe that Germany is a bit too cold.
Looks like this as male wanders more, increasing the chance of getting into unusual places which provides better preservation conditions. Also, fossils are usually trapped in some place.
> If the Russians are so weak and incompetent then why is nearly every European country doubling their military expenditures? And countries that have been neutral through the second world war now rushing into NATO?

I remember reading somewhere, maybe the Guardian, that:

- just 9% of the total russian forces are now deployed against Ukraine

- they thought it will be an easy victory so they sent the lowest grade troops they had.
This is the same playbook they are using for the Bucha murders - "it didn't happen" plays right alongside "it did happen but was perpetrated by the Ukranians". I've read it described as a scattergun approach: the lies don't have to be consistent, or even stand up to the slightest critical scrutiny, you just spew out as many as possible trusting that one will stick.
> If the Russians are so weak and incompetent then why is nearly every European country doubling their military expenditures? And countries that have been neutral through the second world war now rushing into NATO?

Because they are going to besiege many cities and kill many people even if they end up losing a war, just like what happens in Ukraine right now.

I got one of these in December 2021 and frankly love it. Got fed up with being pretty much the only person on earth who had a shitty experience with Apple Silicon, so jumped back to Linux after 17 years away. I don’t use it as a portable, or at least haven’t yet - it’s my daily driver for work and permanently plugged in to a monitor (which also is a USB hub). I opted for Manjaro and enjoy using it way more than I did the M1 macbook pro it replaced.

I really like that they provide a detailed pictorial complete disassembly guide: https://support.starlabs.systems/kb/guides/starbook-mk-v-com...
This prediction is correct for pre-war Ukraine. We lost Crimea without a fight. Now we have 8 years of experience and will to fight, because everyone lost somebody they know. However, Ukrainian army is poorly equipped. 200 thousand reservists cannot join Ukrainian army because of lack of equipment. We are trying to squeeze the last few drops from our reserves.

We badly need new trucks. I have a driver (I'm lieutenant), but have no truck, because my truck was used in Chornobyl, so it's not operable now because of 30 years of out of service at conservation. If I have a truck, I can swap my cabin from Chornobyl truck to new truck and create a working communication station, but I cannot find a cheap truck to buy.

If you have a barely working truck, please, sent it to Ukraine, Rivne, Ukrainian Army, 55 OPZ, 1 battalion.
This may work for many things but beware: if you mention 'stress' or 'anxiety' your doctor will almost certainly not contradict you!
You can choose between American Megatrends and coreboot. They have a FAQ with the pros and cons[1]. But I have a hard time seeing why anyone would choose the proprietary American Megatrends firmware, especially since the laptop is targeted towards Linux users. Are they offering the choice for their older customers who are used to the American Megatrends UI? Or maybe to not anger the supplier (American Megatrends) that they've been working with for years?

It's incredible, isn't it?

Just as web developers, of all people, are finally, after over a decade, coming to the conclusion that arbitrarily-packaged dependencies are a bad idea for so many obvious reasons, Rust developers are trying to replicate NPM in the kernel.

I was told that Rust in the kernel would be a good thing, and that not much would change. If these are the types of people who are writing Rust for the kernel... can we go back? I really want to go back.

8 ports is high expectations, I don't think there's anything really there, but there is a 3 port tb4 hub by plugable[1], and you can I think daisy chain multiple together. Pretty expensive to get up to 8 though, never mind all the power bricks to get the power necessary.

> Actually I dont see the point of mini PC. Theyre just desktop that you can lug without monitor and any input devices. What's the point of spending huge sums of money on a mini PC that performs 1/2.9 compared to its PC equivalent?

It's cheaper for the same specs; for example this StaBook with the 5800U is €1074, but their mini-PC with the same CPU is €786: €288 cheaper! You can also put a 2.5" SSD in it next to the MMC drive (my E585 also allows this, but many laptops don't). And for a lot of "serious work" I use my USB keyboard and HDMI screen anyway: the laptop doesn't really give any advantages here.
yes, I feel like this is exactly what the OP needs right now. If I may add something, starts small, don't aim too big, maybe looking into how you're going to improve yourself physically or doing a x numbers of voluntary work for y community, just keep it simple then you'll builds your next goal naturally. At the end of the day, I believe life is meaningless and you are the one who is defining the meaning of your life.
Not stealing directly but US military industrial complex is a huge money sink which delivers much much less than civilian counterparts for the same money. F-35 story is a shame IMHO.
That’s not success. They are passing because we refuse to fail them. It would hurt feelings and future success chances.

It’s entirely opposite of the point you want to make.
Some sources say the Bayraktar were decoys, some others say that they actually took down the radars on the Moskva before they fired the missiles.

But I have a hard time picturing the Moskva having trouble destroying a drone with the performance of a WWI-era plane.

It also had two radars, MR-710 and MR-800, but I'm unable to find if they have differences in terms of target tracking and acquisition.
Is that you, Exxon?

It is a public fact that renewables cost less than fossil fuels. They cost less than anything in history, no matter how you measure. Clearly you wish this were not so. But reality does not tailor itself to what you wish.
When shopping for anything it's hard to say which is worse between Google shopping search and Amazon.

A normal Google search for a GPU gets relavent results, switching to shopping search now has crap from aliexpress and overseas, most of which don't even match the search terms (was trying to find an Rx580 8gb, googled shopping had 1 correct item, the rest were 6600 gpus..)

Meanwhile Amazon is just broken. Sorting by price doesn't, filters are broken. Tick prime shipping only still gives 3rd party results that want to charge shipping.

Amazon won't even return all the results for products they are fulfilling. I'm regularly seeing deals on bargain sites where an items page will list a cheaper option, which is also sent by Amazon... But this option isn't shown in any searches

By "traditional" warfare I meant something similar to the campaigns against Serbia or the second Iraq war.

Basically long bombing campaigns targeting everything from military targets, to TV-stations, to train stations, while the opponent was unable to respond, leaving them broken and demoralized.

The downside of nuclear power is, potentially & in rare circumstances, a large number of people have to move.

I don't want to trivialise that - it is a big cost. But it isn't exactly like we're talking a threat to anyone's health and well-being. And when I say "rare" I mean once, globally, every 25 years with 1970s plant designs. It is quite a bit safer now with the absurd safety standards people make nuclear keep.

Basically, although costly, it is a tiny risk once we estimate [danger x likelihood = risk].

Well, maybe. As in: sure, a lot of breathing techniques and sometimes even useful natural remedies are some of the oldest recorded ones if they are coming from "the east", but in the end that corpus of wisdom is mostly a spaghetti mess of helpful and harmful techniques that is really hard to disentangle from cultism, oogie-boogie and autocratic belief systems.

In a sense, yes.

Contracts are definitely awarded to companies based on their political connections, and not necessarily merits. Look at the whole Halliburton/Cheney shitshow in Iraq for a recent example.

We're talking $40 billion worth of (cost-plus!!!) contracts awarded to a company that was widely viewed as incompetent by the soldiers on the ground, followed by the vice-president getting a position on the board of said company when he retired. This is after he got a $30 million golden parachute after leaving them in 2001.

The Zumwalts are cancelled now. The calculus seems to be that if you are building a modern capital ship then it's either an aircraft platform, an assault ship or it needs to be able to go underwater - because it will cost just as much. There is a sharp division between naval assets to be used in war, and everything else.
Something which annoys me with GitHub is that I don't have the option of setting up a mailing list which people viewing my repository page can opt into, as easily as they can star or opt-in to notifications. I often want to ask my users things, and I simply have no mechanism of doing that.

(doesn't have to be a mailing list, that's just the simplest feedback-request mechanism I can think of.)

1. Why would it be particularly difficult for them to have soft deletes in Rails or at scale?

2. Like the article suggests, additional UX improvements could be made besides making it possible to restore a backup or providing an undo action.

3. I feel you are ignoring the fact that technology-wise it was probably Rails along with its MVC model that got them into their scale in the first place.

4. Had they focused on a more exotic architecture from day one, the UX of other features on the site could've been significantly worse.
In practice, they are extremely unlikely to be zeroes.
You'll note in the link you cite that the missile used in this system is a derivative of the Kh-35 anti-ship cruise missile, which Russia can launch from most of their combat jets and various helicopters, several of which are also operated by Ukraine. The missile is fundamentally an air launch design. When launched from a ship, shore battery or helicopter a booster is used to accelerate the missile to cruise speed. A booster is unnecessary when launched from a high speed aircraft.

Now, I don't know whether Ukraine has retained air launch capability in the derivative, but that is plausible. I do know that war motivates tremendous initiative, so if not you can bet they're working on it.

The next alternative is Mercury (https://github.com/mljar/mercury) framework. It turns Jupyter notebooks into interactive web apps. You just add YAML config in the first cell and the interactive widgets (textbox, sliders) will be added to the notebook. You can share the notebook with others. Your users can tweak widgets and execute the notebook (and download result as single HTML file). What is more, you can hide notebook's code if you want. The framework is open source, but has also commercial additional features like authentication. It's website https://mljar.com/mercury/.
You could argue that there are some crates in the Rust ecosystem that suffer from a deep dependency tree, I don't think you can argue that Rust developers are trying to do this for the kernel.

In the grand scheme of things a laptop is a lot less important than a sitting President inciting a riot to overturn an election. You know neither are even in the same realm of magnitude. Stop making three equal. But even if Twitter was censoring the right so be it. They don’t have to be fair to any one side. The right can build their own platform and censor the left. I won’t join it. Because and I don’t know how many times this needs to be reiterated: Twitter has no obligation to be fair to anything or anyone. It’s not a public square. It’s not a federal institution. It’s a platform. And platforms can make editorial decisions.
They won't do it unless it's regulated across all platforms worldwide.

Adds too much friction and scares away those who want anonymity.

KYC works for financial institutions because it's regulated across the board. And let me tell, it's a pain.
my personal experience living in several places in Germany: the whole appeal to nature argument is unreasonably effective here. Most germans will try an array of homeopathic remedies before taking ibuprofen. Most GP doctors advertise a secondary expertise in some woo or other, be it homeopathy, crystals, or osteopathy. It is downright tricky to find a doctor who will give you evidence based pharmaceuticals for your complaint; I can't tell you how many times I've come home from a doctor to look up the "medicine" they gave me, to find that it's some variant of hyper-diluted rosewater.
I took the article as a piece on the crisis in the UN rather than as on the war that precipitated it..

I agree with you that there is no good solution for this situation to be found in removing nations from the positions that they currently occupy in the UN Security Council, and, even though it is certainly not Vindman alone calling for a veto override along the lines of the mechanism available to our legislative bodies here in the USA, it is not going to happen in the existing UN -- nor is the existing UN able to do anything meaningful for Ukraine.

We should not be under any illusions that this crisis ends with Ukraine, even for Europe : Putin's Serbian allies are already arming for another go at Kosovo and Moldova would not even last a week if Ukraine (or even just Odessa) falls..

Given that, as you write here, no world power will accept the jurisdiction of a foreign court (even if formulated as transnational like the ICC) and that punitive moves by the West have a high risk of cleaving the world into the West vs the rest, the question, in my opinion, becomes one of how the world - or at least the G7 (and probably most of the G20) - deal with wars of aggression such that they do not destroy the global economy (or, you know, trigger nuclear Armageddon) but without alienating the non authoritarian / totalitarian governments that comprise the bulk of the nations that just voted against Russia in the existing UN General Assembly.

Does NATO just keep expanding (I mean beyond the fait accompli of Finland and Sweden)? Does the EU continue its plans for militarization (and accept Ukraine into its (NATO overlapping) security structure)? What about ASEAN vis-à-vis Chinese ambition in the South China sea? What about the Norks scaring South Korea and even Japan into increasingly militaristic stances that then provoke China? And, of course, there is the problem of the democratic, independent and very sovereign island of Taiwan...

From my perspective at least, the largest economies of the world except for China rallying behind the values of the "rule of law" / "liberal world order" and doing all that they can to avoid WWIII - including a forklift upgrade to the existing global organizations that were created after the previous world war is not the worst outcome I can imagine..
