They more or less have to, the chances of Sweden becoming the next target for Putins belligerence have just gone up by 50%. It's the only country left that he can attack without immediate repercussions from NATO, though I suspect that even without NATO membership the EU would react very strongly to any attempt to make a mess in Sweden.

Don't believe stories you read on Reddit. Most of them are creative writing exercises.
You can never please everyone. I grant you that this might have been rushed a bit, but it is silly to say that Finland hasn't considered the pros and cons of joining NATO for a long time and has obviously seen benefits considering all the join military exercises.

People who are against joining NATO won't change their opinion until Russia actually invades and by then it is too late. These people also like to make Finland's neutrality to be some noble stance as if it wasn't imposed on Finland by Russia after the Second World War.
Also for people who like to mix up their daily propaganda consumption banning RT put it back on the list of sites to check. I am sure their reads skyrocket since the ban.
Ben this is great, thank you. Would you consider adding Unicode Separated Values (USV)?

USV is like CSV and simpler because of no escaping and no quoting. I can donate $50 to you or your charity of choice as a token of thanks and encouragement.
Yes, the build it and they will come is missing the ', after you cranked up advertisment/sales'.
On an international level, there is nothing but promises and sanctions, unless we resort to warfare. Let's hope it won't be neccesary to put those treaties to the test.
Looks like a nice case. How does it compare to the Inkplate? They offer colour and touchscreen versions with bigger screens for barely any more money (though you pay extra for a case).
Talking about making it easier to write music and then linking to a programming language for making music feels a bit weird. Yes, hardware is a barrier for sure, but a even larger barrier would be to put it behind a complicated programming language.

If we really want to "democratize music tech" (whatever that means), then I think things like the Korg Volcas are much closer to achieving that. Cheaper than most computer hardware, very intuitive even for people who never touched a synth before, and hardware that is relatively easy to grok, even the insides of it. Easy to take apart as well.

The only thing missing from the Volcas would be a completely open source design both for the hardware and the firmware. That would get us much closer than a programming language for music could ever.
Do you really need to ask why? Because Ukraine is on the doorstep of Europe, that's why Europeans care more, and by proxy the US.

As for Iraq, yes people did care, there were large protests in London and Tony Blair is still hated by the general public in the UK. I don't know the real feeling in the US. The UK government didn't listen because Tony wanted his ego boost on the world stage.

The only NATO backed war of that era which had any grounds was in Afghanistan, Bin Laden attacked the US, and the US had to do something. It was executed terribly in the beginning (from what I understand the Afghans wanted to help get rid of Bin Laden) but in the end there was justification.

Iraq was illegal and only gave Russia cover for its actions against it's neighbours rich up until the Ukraine invasion.
I had always assumed, based on nothing, that "asshat" was originally a type of hacker... neither black-hat nor white-hat, but merely ass-hat
> because then they'd have a much smaller and less valuable business, if they even had a business at all.

This does not follow. While GPU drivers are a huge development effort, they are also very specific to the hardware. This is even more true with modern APIs that are closer to how the hardware works.

AMD and Intel both have open source GPU drivers and they are still in business. Are you claiming that their business would be much bigger if not for those open source drivers?
>The CIA has entered the chat.

If you are not a Ruzzian troll go to a subrredit for n eastern country and ask the people there what they think about NATO and Russia, like go to r/romania . I assure you we don't need CIA propaganda to understand the danger Russia was and is for our freedom and unfortunetly for our brothers in Moldova that got screwed hard and might get cewed more in future but the Russians.

Though I can understand if you have no idea about the history in Easter Europe and only follow the conflicts where US and their friends get involved you might have a big bias.
> A bunch of Americans are flipping out right now because the Supreme Court refuses to invoke those “dusty old documents” to overturn a validly enacted law from a duly elected legislature. Who are the “partisan hacks” here?

A bunch of Americans were flipping out months ago because a local legislature basically flipped the bird to the Federal government and decided it gets to overrule national laws, and then a Supreme Court majority said yeah, we're not going to explain why but it's urgently necessary to let you go ahead with that with no further discussion.

In principle, if you believed a word of what these Supreme Court Justices said, you could do all sorts of violence to the Republic via this same mechanism. But of course if you were trying to, say, reduce gun violence, rather than help ruin poor women's lives you'd suddenly find they remember that you can't override national laws and there'd be an injunction in force before you could say "Shadow docket".
Not Markdoc, but there are several OSS examples of how you can do something similar with MDX + Code Hike. https://codehike.org/
The question which has to be asked here is: what do Tether's open market operations look like? Since they're roleplaying "be your own Federal reserve", they shouldn't have to transact at par against people who bought at a discount, they should be hoovering it up directly from the open market at a smaller margin.
Yes, I'm saying that social media can make teens act and feel all sorts of things, and that in doing this, it's sometimes harmful in certain very specific contexts that can't simply be made to disappear through ham-fisted regulations, just like many other things throughout modern history that have been pegged to hysterias about "the children". It can be both dangerous in some contexts, beneficial in others and again, something that doesn't deserve exceptional mania about its dangers.

I'd love to see how you propose regulating it for teenagers and young people. I do hope it's at least something less foolish than the previous hysterical media/public fits about also "controlling" teens access to...... certain books, certain magazines, comics, TV, porno, "dangerous school games" and of course, video gaming!!! (which barely a couple decades ago supposedly made them prone to murder at an unusual rate). Remember all of these other media-inspired catastrophes for teen development? Do school library bans on books like "Catcher in the Rye" also ring a bell?

I repeat, qualification of claims: In other words, really show that some new tech or media terror actually does do inordinate, demonstrably above-normal harm to a large percentage of the bags of volatile hormones that teenagers have always been, with all sorts of mental issues that they largely end up handling reasonably well. They can grow further without being treated as if they were absurdly fragile and in need of protection from the wider world that they will anyhow have to face just a few years later, whatever its tendencies.

It gets tiresome to see some new supposed danger get trotted out after every couple of teenage generations as something that supposedly needs heavy intervention, mitigation and usually ridiculous regulations. Give teenagers just a bit more credit for mental toughness.
I mean the Bank of England was trying to control the exchange rate, Soros made a bet they couldn’t maintain it and was right.
Most Poles want to help Ukraine somehow and we didn't drag NATO into the conflict.

Sweden would probably get stronger support for other reasons, like being perceived as an established democratic western country.
It is so obviously going to happen ...

Not to mention that Sweden, with it's pretty impressive capabilities for such a small country (the Grippen, for example), has long ago figured out that they really cannot do this on their own. There has been a good amount of technology transfer in their military technology for a few decades.
Common Lisp, Scheme, Julia, Scala, Clojure, F#, OCaml
I should add that Russia desires the Baltics, which are in an awkward position to defend by NATO. Finland has a strong military and its proximity to those countries makes an incursion somewhat less likely.

This is asking for Guido to have predicted the multicore era and the success of Python in 1991, at a time when SMP architectures had only been commercially available on extremely expensive systems for 5 years. Much of what contributed to that success was in fact the rich C API, and the ease with which it could be embedded into larger applications, and I'm not sure what an alternative would look like that could produce efficient implementations of things like Numpy, etc.
Kind of well known but I think bears endless repetition.

There will come a time when someone in a very large organization will take an interest in your product. You're going to feel very validated because now you can tell friends, family, investors, potential customers that X is using/piloting your product. They may or may not give you money, but it will certainly be less than your time is worth. They will definitely take a very long time to make any kind of decisive move. It is very likely that they will destroy your focus and never actually become a real customer. The longer you engage with them, the more you will want to make something come out of it and the worse the impact will be.
Statements like this blow my mind.

The entire point of Tether is that you can absolutely trust them with $100K, $1M, $10M, or whatever. It's backed, it's robust, it's tethered, and they guarantee payout. The promise is essentially the AAA security of the crypto world, the equivalent to US Treasury bonds or whatever.

Meanwhile, the sentiment I keep hearing is yours: "You'd have to be absolutely nuts to trust these guys!"

Which is not only diametrically opposed to the picture Tether is trying to paint, but it's saying that AAA is actually a CCC− and hence that there is nothing in the crypto world that's above, oh, I dunno, B- or thereabouts.

But the entire point of Tether hinges on it being perceived as AAA.

Take for example the US dollar treasury bonds. Even countries and people opposed to the United States and everything it stands for agree that it is AAA. People that hate the US agree that the USD is a stable currency and their bonds are secure. Literal enemies, legally at war will prefer to use USD over their own currency for many transactions!

Meanwhile it's hard to find anyone that hasn't apparently drunk crypto Kool-Aid that thinks Tether is anything but a trash fire.

It's just so bizarre...

Currency pegs and currency boards can work quite well. You just need sufficient assets to cover them. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_board

Btw, not only sovereign nations have these issues. Your bank also tries to maintain a peg between one dollar in its account books and one dollar in government money. Similar (but more roundabout) for things like Amazon gift cards.

For a country without an established, credible central bank a currency board can be a big economic improvement over trying to issue their own native fiat currency.

(Even better from an economic point of view is for the country not to issue a government currency at all, but let the market handle that.

When the government is particularly inept, you can see the (black) market trying to fix currency issues even when the government actively tries to prevent that.)

Hasn’t this gil/nogil saga been going on for ~decades? What about fixing packaging or limiting the C-extension interface? I have enormous sympathy of what the Python maintainers are up against, but “on a dime” seems hard to justify.
Dilbert on this: https://dilbert.com/strip/2012-09-19

The sad thing is that the boss is right.
Before Corona made RT looking really weird and one sided they often provided a non westernized view to world events. Just as al jazeera. IMO that's a relevant role when more and more western media is controlled by the same few sources. No solution, but it's all about having perspectives to get a real picture.
If the CEXes act in good faith, they'll hold corresponding amounts of USDT in a wallet. So those would have been the parties who paid $ to Tether.

Yeah, "new product" indeed, especially considering these "features" from that huge "feature" list:

- NEW COLOR SCHEME

- DUAL VELCRO® BACK FASTENERS

- ERGONOMIC POWER SWITCH

- ULTRA-FIDELITY HEADPHONE OUTPUT

- NEW CUSTOM USB CABLE

- NEW FONT

- NEW METRONOME SOUND

- NEW PACKAGING

- QR CODE GUIDE LINK

I'm not gonna lie, I'm generally a teenage engineering fan (besides the price that is), but some of those features sounds like part of a comedy/sarcastic copy of the actual launch website.

It's possible to respect and share the principles the US is built on and disagree with details and ugly tendencies of the implementation. The West is not just the US.

As for Russia and its empire-serving culture, there's nothing to like and share at all.
>As a Finn (?), what are your feelings with regards to your historical neutrality being broken by joining NATO?

At least for a younger generation, that isn't a big deal at all. Finnish neutrality was realpolitik after WW2 and pretty much everyone understands that Russia/Soviet Union is/was our only realistic enemy in case of war. Neutrality is bigger thing in Sweden as they managed to skip both WWs.
That feels like quite an awkward way to squash tagged unions into a class structure... But maybe it will work. I would say special syntax for it probably is critical because defining an entire class for each variant does not sound like fun!

A couple of things: that I would love to see in commands.dev

+ a graph showing what its input and output to that command or command+option

+ data type (netdev, IPC, file, pipe) and its data format/schema (INI, CSV, PNG, PEM, text)

+ privilege required (file perms, capabilities, security context)

+ file naming convention of input/output
It could as easily be stated that nations join NATO in order to participate in NATO's war crimes, and share its war treasures. For the same reason that immigrants come to USA - because that's not where the bombs are falling.

Both statements are valid, and have just as much evidence supporting them.
Even the ones with disinflationary supply suffer from a large wealth concentration as they distribute all or the majority of supply in just the first few years.
That's a rare situation. The first thing a government does when their economy starts to colapse is to force the population to use and save in their dying currency while restricting access to foreign currency to prevent capital flight. Just look at Russia and Argentina.

Not for me in India.
Payments here in the EU, even between countries, are pretty straightforward.

Transferring money from the EU to UK, or EU to USA, Peru, or Canada get more complicated and expensive though. Those are the kind of transfers I had in mind.

There are transferwise, and similar services, but even so it's not as cheap as it should/could be.

I think that's more due to his sponsoring progressive causes since
Gladio is literally an organization whose purpose is to ensure the targeted states join NATO or, at least, remain aligned with NATO intentions.

States join NATO in order to participate in NATO's war crimes and crimes against humanity, and to be a part of the refactoring of the sovereign states of the world that NATO is engaged in. It is literally the #1 usurper of sovereign democracy.
This post was dead when I stumbled upon it. I don't agree with it, for the obvious reasons, including the fact that I'm not American. Yet, my understanding is that this kind of opinion is shared by a large number of US citizens. I don't believe censoring it is the correct way to deal with it - it's not even off-topic as we discuss NATO membership in the first place.
Probably because diagonal is the only supplied value. That is mostly used for comparing screen sizes and little else. At least in my metric world.

You could probably measure screen sizes in fractions of blue whales and it would work out exactly the same for most folks.
Utility decreases as one acquires more money. For someone with a lot of money the OP-1 might be worth it.

But yes, on an objective scale, the OP-1 is not competitive.
Soros was a disciple of philosopher Karl Popper, one of the 20th century's most influential philosophers of science. Popper was a big influence on empirical falsification. Popper wrote the book The Open Society and Its Enemies that has greatly influenced political ideals both in the left and the right wing in western democracies.

In 2009 Financial Times published an essay by George Soros, where he describes his general philosophical theory "reflexivity", that he applies to life and investing. Reflexivity is an extension of Poppers ideas and are very well grounded.

They explain very well the reasoning that led to breaking of the Bank of England.

As some other commenters have mentioned, the GIL removal branch also makes some unrelated optimizations and the performance improvement comes from those rather than from the GIL removal itself, as I understand it.

From your link:

"Stripping out some of the GIL-removal related changes would result in even faster performance on the single-threaded pyperformance benchmark suite. [...] The resulting interpreter is about 9% faster than the no-GIL proof-of-concept (or ~19% faster than CPython 3.9.0a3). That 9% difference between the “nogil” interpreter and the stripped-down “nogil” interpreter can be thought of as the “cost” of the major GIL-removal changes."

So it seems removing the GIL has a negative impact on single-threaded code, with the version that has both the GIL and the unrelated optimizations being 9% faster.
Sorry, didn't want to give the impression that the OP-1 (original or this one) is good money spent, because that I don't think. The price of this (+ the rest of their products) are wildly over-priced. I was more talking about the whole software VS hardware side of things.

If I had $2000 to throw around, I'd buy a Syntakt + Digitone/Digitakt instead and get a setup that could do whatever I want + more.
poorly, it turns out
I disagree. "Sum" and "product" types are really really unclear names that only make sense if you've studied some advanced CS and even then they're bad names - not descriptive at all.

Enum is much better - you just enumerate all the values the type can be (plus optional associated data).
> the Empire State Building can fit entirely inside of an n-cube with sides of 1 cm, for sufficiently large n.

My sole attempt at writing an essay for my local SF fan club, when I was in high school, was to apply this observation to explain ... err .. handwave .. how the TARDIS can be bigger on the inside, eg, as seen in The Invasion of Time.

Of course, back then the TARDIS was only 68,000 tons - about the size of an aircraft carrier. (In Castrovalva, 1/4 of the TARDIS - 17,000 tons - was ejected.) Figuring 400 meters length in a (2m)^n box gives at least n = 40,000 dimensions.

Nowadays it has enough mass to fracture a planet, contains a collapsing star, etc. Life was simpler in the 1980s. :)
