Ukraine was a threat to Russia's security in the same way a short skirt is a threat to a rapist.
If I had a nickle for every time some dolt busted out the "written in blood" quip for a rule that had no blood involved I'd be a very rich man.

Lots and lots and lots of rules, especially post 1970 or so are about ass-covering. Post 1980 you get a lot of rules designed to remove human judgement from the equation.
No, it’s a bit more complicated than that because the comments are threaded. It could take a few passing to find a gem comment. Also, the comments evolve over time meaning you might not find anything at the time of your browsing.
NATO provides weapons, reconnaissance, mercenaries and political support to Ukraine, not to mention full scale economic war on Russia.

Ukrainian Army was trained by NATO instructors.

The only thing the Ukraine is providing really in this war is cannon fodder.
Isn't that also the case for capitalism?
That sounds great. Would this work on Mars too?
That's a really fascinating bit of writing. I remember writing "mutation engines" back in the day for x86 virus coding.

In 1993 the virus group Phalcon/Skism from Canada published a polymorphic engine called Dark Angel's Multiple Encryptor or DAME, the writeup of that is still available:

https://ivanlef0u.fr/repo/madchat/vxdevl/vdat/tuda0011.htm

That inspired me to do similar things, playing around with replacing bits of assembly with functionally equivalent alternatives, and using differing encoding of common instructions.

Of course all of this is very obsolete knowledge these days, which is a shame in some ways.
I’m confused, didn’t they kill Solaris years ago?
Yes, that's exactly it: there's boats and boats... an 18' is very much doable, it's essentially a nice hobby and will soak up some of your surplus income but that's about it.

But a slightly more serious boat, say an older Jeannau or something else that isn't immediately going to sink if you take it out on blue water is going to cost you a fair amount of money and will be - unless you are already a multi-millionaire - a way of life rather than something you only use on the weekends because of the money you'll end up pumping into it.

If you go on youtube and find the various channels where people talk about their life on their boats and what it's like you'll see that they hardly ever really talk about where they are going or what they are doing, the main subjects are always money, repairs and weather.

A boat, unlike a house, is very strongly influenced by its environment and anything that you can no longer easily put on a trailer behind a car to get it out of the water when you're not using it will require near continuous work. You won't ever be able to 'and now it is done' and then to use it for the next five years without major work on it.
That’s the weird part: MinGW does use DWARF, embedded into PE similar to how it is embedded into ELF, with just one little non-standard trick for long section names. On Windows, GDB supports loading these symbols just fine. But if I forcibly get them to load on Wine under GDB, it doesn’t seem to work even if the load seems to succeed. Confusing.
I'm not sure what side of the argument you are on.

My point is that authoritarian regimes are possible anywhere; they lead to information being surpressed; and this could be dangerous in the case of nuclear reactors.

The example of Russia seems an excellent example of the same pattern.
Obviously you need to automate the restoration of the restoration!
There are a few parts of this I still struggle to understand. I don’t get why ptr2int casts are a problem if you never try and cast the integer back to a ptr. It seems like int2ptr is the real issue.

Also it’s said that casts to int are better then transmutes because cast have side effects. But ptr2int casts don’t actually have side effects, they are a No-op on the hardware.
Actually, it's written in Rust and wrapped by python.

Once you do it a few times, writing the repo names means nothing. You have to do it on your repo with 0 followers just making it public. It’s not very notable unless you’re new to Github.

My advice is for Github to tell you that you’re losing 53,000 stars (not just “all your stars”) to help knock you out of autopilot.

I don’t get the finger pointing though. Obviously they messed up, it’s the entire post. But it’s also a good moment to reflect on how UX can be used to prevent people from messing up.
Dark pools rely on the operator being trustworthy. Distributed encryption relies only on cryptography and the validator set being too large, and costly to join, to allow cooption, and both assumptions are highly trustworthy.
Disasters like flood or fire don’t usually render large areas uninhabitable - people can return home, rebuild and live as usual. Nuclear incidents on the contrary have long term economic effects and public health dangers. My Russian grandfather died from cancer after unknowingly spending some time in unrestricted area of radioactive fallout 15 years after the incident (see Mayak plant [1] and Techa river [2]). The local population of Muslumovo there was resettled long after the catastrophe when the details of the incident were made known.

If you have the budget it's great to live in a nice big city, you don't even need a car. Just Uber everywhere, get some groceries delivered, put your kids in fancy but expensive kindergarten, and buy a nice large house right near that park the kids love. Bonus points if the city is walkable or has decent public transportation.

If you are starting as an average,non FAANG engineer in an expensive city it probably sucks a bit more.

> Crockford helped me see that there was more to JavaScript than it was being used for.

I read Crockford’s “JavaScript: The Good Parts” and had a similar experience, though it was more like an epiphany. I thought back to all the other disdainful language criticisms I’d embraced over the previous 30 years and realized I’d been a fool all along about a lot of things…

Later I met Crockford after a JSON talk and we had an excellent discussion. But - he autographed my friend’s book with a personalized admonition to do no evil..
most of the opposition comes from distrust of the US, not because of consideration of the objective fact that russia intends to extinguish a sovereign state. If you are ambivalent about whether the latter is wrong, then thats pretty much a nonstarter

Exactly! Things are far better now though this mindset is not completely eradicated.
You assume that he wasn't just trying to make it worth the guy's well for a bit of privacy. He didn't think the guy had any other reasons to be tracking his plane than making a quick buck through his donations page. He stopped bothering once he realized the guy had petty ambitions for fame. (Which btw that guy continues to play up for the media and drags out the idea long after Musk has dropped it.)
We should have a law that says that any product sold at a large scale should first be approved by a consumer organization. Let's stop producing junk that works against the consumer's interest.
This is a good point, but I feel like there was a reason that I couldn’t do this. With Wine under rr, the replays were a bit tricky to get working in the first place. I think it is possible i could’ve done this still, but I first needed to find the number of events to skip for that part of the replay. See this issue:

https://github.com/rr-debugger/rr/issues/1687

By the time I got to the point where a reverse continue would’ve been most useful, I’d already left rr due to this issue.
Ask HN: Our startup raised – would you care about inflation?
Hi everyone, our early stage startup just raised a first round, currently for 12-18 months of runway. Like the US, inflation is hitting Europe with ~7.5% p.a., salary expectations in job interviews with newly grads are already up 15-20% compared to last year.

After a long time of bootstrapping, "just spend faster" is not a viable option to prevent inflation from shrinking that pile of cash we're sitting on – we're both culturally and operationally not yet ready to open the floodgates: hiring the right people and building the team takes time, and we also haven't figured out which sales channels are the right ones to scale. Our business is highly cyclical, so we need certain periods of the year to figure stuff out while improving product and ramping up capacity in the mean time.

How do you fellow founders manage this situation? Do your companies hold assets to hedge inflation risks? Do you think about putting clauses into contracts with investors to adjust future payments to inflation? Are there any good reads on cash management for startups in general?
> The fact that the statistical artifact is seen in completely uncorrelated data is only shown as a demonstration that it is not itself evidence of the claimed effect

I don't understand this part. "Completely uncorrelated data" is usually taken to represent the null hypothesis, but that's not the case here. In the DK paper, the implicit null hypothesis is "people of all skill levels are good at estimating their performance". In this case the "completely uncorrelated data" matches an alternative hypothesis, "people's skills have nothing to do with their ability to estimate their performance in tasks testing that skill". This hypothesis doesn't outright contradict the DK proposed hypothesis (and is certainly not the DK null hypothesis), so getting similar results is unsurprising to me, and I'm not sure that we learn from it anything about the DK results.

As for the other study cited, the figure shown in the article doesn't give a lot of information on density, and looking at the paper itself, figure 4 does actually seem to show that self-assessment gradually shifts left with increasing level of education.

Just because the heart rate is elevated in both cases, that doesn't mean the context is the same. It's not the same cause, it's not the same result.

Exercise raising the heart rate is a consequence, that (the increased heart rate) is not the singular magic thing improving your health. With exercise there's a positive, body-comprehensive event going on.

Exercise strengthens the heart.

Cocaine (for example) damages the heart. It doesn't just elevate the heart rate, it does some vicious things to the heart, causing damage:

My company has employees all around Europe, and in north America too. Funny enough, even without the shared background, we kinda draw from the same principles and have a common understanding on how to behave an operate.

A world where I have to work with what the local market offers sounds like russian roulette. I don't want to be constrained by where my parents decided to live.
I’m Not sure.

The language and imagery in that article is disturbing. I feel you.
LLT did a review for a Samsung smart monitor the other day. It's coming. Nobody is safe.
You explained it perfectly, no white board needed.

I can only add one minor point from a general and international perspective: 50% may not always be enough. At least in Sweden I think you need 90% to accept a bid before you can legally force the remaining 10% to sell their shares. Even if you accept that there will be minority shareholders you will need 67% before you can do some things, like e.g. issue new shares without giving minority owners right of first refusal.

I'm sure there's a lot of devils in the details all over the world, and I'd be surprised if there are none in the US.
That's sort of how I feel about comment trees. ~100-200 comments is the safe max for me, after that, sufficient garbage is present to degrade readability. It's subreddit/topic/ToD dependent, since some are difficult to follow from the beginning.
You sound like a propaganda apparatchik. Nato's expansion is only war in the eyes of dipshits like Putin that see it as a foil to their imperialist ambitions.

The Chinese are mostly being neutral business people with regard to fentanyl, Americans are the ones seeking it out and importing it for resale. If China stopped selling fentanyl, the same dirtbags would still be importing it from a different supplier. If nobody sold fentanyl, they'd go back to importing Heroin from Mexico and SE Asia, though at least that'd be easier to target in customs and cause fewer OD deaths.
I don't think I subscribe to your worldview.

The way I look at it: in 2014 an otherwise peaceful Ukraine was invaded by its far larger and far stronger neighbor who entrenched themselves after robbing a bunch of territory on a pretext. Ukraine learned the hard way that they were underprepared, changed tactics and dramatically improved their military, while at the same time due to internal issues (mostly corruption) their larger neighbors saw the quality of their army decline.

Then, in recent times Russia decided that just having the Eastern part of Ukraine wasn't enough because those pesky Ukrainians were showing other countries in their sphere of influence (notably: Belarus, Georgia) that it was possible for a country to lift itself out of poverty by aligning with the West.

A complete lack of realistic estimates of operational readiness, underestimation of the Ukrainian resolve and a significant propaganda effort later the larger neighbor decided to finish what they started in 2014, which is roughly where we are today.

The West obviously stands a lot to gain from Ukraine not ending up in the same way as Belarus and so has a strong motivation to ensure that the new Russian imperialist effort fails. This, plus the fact that housing another 40 million refugees is not an option suffices to explain why the West is fairly eager to support Ukraine in its defense against Russia.
It depends on where you re reading from. For americans, it seems the war is becoming more of a partisan issue, but for europeans it's much more clear cut, as many of them have memories of the same things happening a few decades ago.
> why aren't people buying until it asymptotically approaches that price?

Because the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
> They are the equivalent of remortgaging your home to get cash.

It's actually the opposite of remortgaging a home to get cash. Remortgaging a home to get cash is paying a premium to increase the amount of liquid assets available to you; this is the point of most loans. A DeFi loan is paying a premium and _decreasing_ the amount of liquid assets available to you. As you said, it's useful for juicing speculation, worthless for anything else.

> You get a stable and guaranteed >5% without all the risks of the stock market.

I think the long-term risks are actually greater than something like an index fund, since your collateral is all in crypto. The returns are also less than historical index fund returns.
The specific mention of open source developers makes me think "more open source software that works on Solaris" might be part of it. Doubt it'll help much, but it might move the needle from "they still make Solaris?" to a "guess I'll make sure it at least builds" sort of state.
Yeah we learned people are bad at giving themselves percentile rankings apparently, especially when the population is illdefined ("your peers").

True, but a house costs even more. If you can live in that sailboat (and I know people that do), then it may be a lot cheaper than a house and it has advantages in property taxes and mobility. My house cannot move to the Caribbean ever.

Caffeine raises your heart rate for a short(ish) time, but at least for moderate amounts of consumption that doesn't seem to have any negative effects. There are even some studies that suggest that one or two cups of coffee a day may have health benefits, including the cardiovascular system.

Cocaine on the other hand seems to raise your resting heart rate because it damages your cardiovascular system [1]. Your heart has to work more to achieve the same result, the opposite from what you want to achieve with exercise.

Germany has about 40GWh of pumped water storage. This is used for extending solar into the evening/morning (on a typical day about 1300GWh of electricity are consumed in total).

About 5% of electricity need can be provided by Norway through pumped storage (Norway has a storage capacity of about 100TWh, but the grid is limited).

Much more storage will be needed in the future, but many storage projects have been delayed since the demand for them is not there yet.

Rarely 50% of the available coal production capacity is used. There will be spare capacity available for the near future even if a lot more coal plants are shut down.

Those degrees of happiness can't be measured, especially on the long run.

And your demonstration can be flipped easily : if A's happiness degree is so strongly correlated to the way laundry is processed to the point that changing B's natural way of doing things seems a crucial matter, then perhaps B should figure out how low his value is.

IMHO, casts from integer to pointer should have been deprecated in C (and derivative languages) a long time ago.

Not only do they encourage unsafe practices, being forbidden in most C/C++ style guides.

They can also wreak havoc with any hardware or software-hardening that puts non-address bits in pointers. For instance, ARM PAC has been in Apple's CPUs for years now and support is mandatory in ARM v8.3 and up. Intel and AMD have also had experimental extensions that use those bits, and new ones are on the way.

When an integer is cast to pointer in those schemes, the pointer can become invalid.
Therefore, an integer cast to a pointer type should always result in an invalid pointer, IMHO.

Integers are sometimes used to set alignment. I'd suggest that the macros in CHERI C be added to <stdalign.h>: align_up, align_down and is_aligned. Those can be expressed in normal C without having to cast an integer to pointer, or use faster expressions depending on the platform.
You could start by reading about Wim Hof (a person) and his "Wim Hof Method": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wim_Hof
instead of obsessing over what will be the "new default", it's sometimes better to sit back, relax and watch the pieces fall where they may , as some of the forces here are irreversible. There is always a capacity and will for people to produce work, and it will find its way to productive use regardless of whether they job is distributed or not. we are still at the beginning of this

Incidentally , academics have been used to this distributed mode for decades, with conferences purposely organized to provide opportunities for meshing mixing and friction.

Today poor people are fat but kids in rich families get anorexic because it is a way they can control the agenda.

It's not difficult to find traditional eastern wisdom that have no known health benefits and can have adverse effects. Just look at Gua Sha for example. Not everything is good in TCM, a lot of it is not well tested following theories that are demonstrably false.

Does it mean that there's nothing of interest? No. There are some remedies based on Traditional Chinese Medecine that have proven to be beneficial. After all, this is how Artemisinin which is used as a cure for Malaria was discovered from a traditional herbal remedy from the 4th century. But, this is after trying multiple traditional remedies. Don't underestimate the value of curation when finding a working remedy from the multitude of non-working traditional cures.
