Of course US State department condemned it, it was a "told you so" event.
I just view Russia's position similarly to how the US would perceive China wanting to build a security alliance with Canada and Mexico and install advanced weapons systems (capable of reaching US cities in minutes) along Canadia/US and Mexico/US borders. From that perspective it isn't difficult to comprehend why NATO (basically the US) setting up shop on Russia's borders might be perceived as antagonistic to Russia. This isn't rocket surgery.

> what made Sweden and Finland finally want to join now after all these years?

Honestly I suspect that's just a momentary bout of mass irrationality (to put it politely). Both countries are completely safe, de-facto NATO members. Russia has no stated or implied interest in invading either. More importantly, Russia has no capacity to do so - they can barely push 50 km into Ukraine as it is.

America, otoh, has a lot to gain in extra weapons sales (remember NATO comes with a 2% of GDP spending target).
By that logic pretty much every accidental death that's a result of the modern world would be "caused by humans". House fires, heavy equipment mishaps, cancer from exposure to exotic man-made substances, overdoses, icy staircases, it's a long, long list.

Seems to me that adding all that crap in would make the category so broad as to defeat the point of categorizing. IDK if that was your point or if you just wanted your pet issue in the category.
My experience has been that as you dig deeper into the success of housing first programs, you start to find a lot of caveats. For example, for a while Utah was being praised for “solving” homelessness by applying the housing first method, but their program failed after a few years.

It’s still probably the best idea we have going, but it’s not without significant downsides. Where I live, many small time landlords who have agreed to participate in programs like this with the city have had to evict the tenants placed with them because they made the entire property unlivable for other people through actions like smoking meth in their apartments, letting their dealers move in with them, or in one case, piling all their belongings into the bathtub and lighting them on fire in a state of meth induced psychosis.

In Portland, there is a large housing complex called Bud Clark Commons that provides low barrier housing to the homeless. Since it was constructed, the area around it has become far more dangerous than it was before. There are hundreds of tents surrounding it, meth dealers operating openly from RVs, and trash strewn all around the area. But what’s really interesting about Bud Clark Commons is that the staff actually struggles to keep people there. People cycle in and out, often leaving to return to the streets voluntarily.

It’s really depressing to consider, but it seems clear that some of the people living on our streets have been fundamentally changed in such a way that will make it extremely difficult for them to find their way back into society again. Especially for addicts, the call of euphoric oblivion right outside the door seems very hard to resist in the long term.
Didn't it go great? A political side was able to ram its ideology down everyone's throats and physically exclude everyone who disagreed with them from major aspects of life (I'm in Canada where it's still going on and the ruling party has been even more successful in destroying western values in favor of their own ideology). I have not seen an opportunity like this come along in my lifetime, and I think since WWII there has not been the same level of support for abandoning societal norms to destroy your opponents. So to answer your question, it went very well.

Zelensky already conceded to not going in NATO in March[1]... Russia partially withdrew after that (combined with the increasing cost of continuing to try to take Kiev), but I believe the current continuation is about taking the south, as I explained here [2], so it seems disingenuous to continue to claim some kind of self-defense case at this point.

Wait, he made 84 startup sounds? Are the others available?
Sure, but unless we didnt actually move those industries/services/jobs off-shore - we would never truly know what would have resulted.

We can only look at the outcome as being satisfactory to the statistics of politicians and economists - rather than the effect upon the actual families, towns, and cottage support undustries around those enterprises which left the USA... Good to see that "well, it looks good on paper" -- because the labour fallacy also suffers from thinking that all the new shit we do in the US would not have happened.

Further - the new jobs that have been created (aside from the tech industry are things like massive fastfood, and consuption-capital-growth...

If I an wrong, I would like to learn... but this appears to be the emgergent reality of the US, as evidenced by the ridiculous situation this country is in economically.

(No, Oligarch level wealth creation and stock market actions for the 1% and corporate/hedge funds profits are not the indicators of a truly strong economy: The health, happiness, prosperity of the populous and the quality of both the countries infrastructure and of life is.

And in these regard, imo, USA is flailing horrifically.

Also, and when we look at the strength of the pretty much every industry in the US, such as tech, pharma, healthcare, finance, etc... Every single one of them is 100% dependent on the brain-importation from other countries.

Yet, we can't even service the needs of the overall citizenry.

Honestly, it’s hard to imagine getting tenure without working on weekends. The demands are just too high.

Hmm. The "personal information" bit doesn't fit particularly well .

I'd bet on the image running afoul of something like an anti-steganography filter (except in this image the dots aren't actually hidden from human perception), and the "personal info" line is either an error or is intended as misdirection.

I mean, I suppose the unsavory folks doxxing others may be passing around and broadcasting that personal info in steganographic images (or, you know, as ordinary images), but I don't think that makes a lot of operational sense.

Size, OLED, HDR, and eARC are three things I can't find in a monitor. I don't know of any 55" OLED monitors that support Dolby Vision and can output their audio to my home audio system over eARC. OLED and Dolby Vision are important to me because HDR makes such a huge difference in properly mastered content. eARC is important because my audio system is able to take advantage of Dolby Atmos metadata and I don't want to lose that. I could just pass my HDMI inputs through my receiver, but my receiver doesn't support passing through 4k 120Hz which I appreciate using with my Xbox.

HDR and OLED are available in some monitor models, but to my knowledge there aren't any 55" monitors with HDR and OLED, and especially eARC.

> Putin stated that he has no problem with Finland joining NATO, wouldn't missiles within seconds of St Petersburg be a reason to invade?

No, this isn't right. On the day that Finland announced they would apply, Putin said that it's not a problem as long as heavy NATO hardware wasn't moved into Finland or Sweden. If it were, he claimed, then they would respond. He was claiming that he doesn't care what people do on paper as long as the physical situation doesn't change. [1]

I regret not going to college in the city I ultimately knew I'd end up living in. It was a ton of wasted social capital. I did end up saving money though (college city was cheaper), but it probably wasn't worth the savings. I still do keep in touch with a few people, but it's "annual Zoom call" catchup level of socializing: not enough to fill the day-to-day.

It does not. If you refer to Redis Modules we are not planning to support those - we can just implement same features within DF.
> TBH, if the field wants to improve -> its time to ditch JavaScript and force Browsers to move to something that makes more sense.

Javascript was never the problem. Today there are bazillions of solutions using another language for the people who don't want to hear about Javascript. The problem is all the DOM and WebAPI available to the developer. You can potentially interact with all that in C++ if you wish, but you'll always be limited by the exact API as Javascript in the browser, by design.

Fundamentally there is a mismatch between how the DOM works and how most people develop complex interactive UI, switching to another language doesn't solve that problem.
Except machine gun fire is consistent. Say you were to plan against guerilla warfare with various arms and various tactics that evolve each year because there's an arms marketplace. Could you?

How often do the people who pay for the software plan for that in their budgeting? Supposed I were to say this software has been pentested before release and it'll cost this much extra. How many people are paying for that? How many people will pay for it to be pentested each year for new vulnerabilities?

Since this comes from a Chinese university they will likely drop the code/checkpoint or at least API access also (their text->image model already has a api).
In the 2001+ timeframe, I saw two paths work for people:

1) Go someplace that looks boring but solid like health care. Pay might not be as good, projects might not seem as outwardly sexy, but it will be a solid paycheck.

2) Go someplace like a Google or Microsoft, IE: big tech, where even if one team is having cutbacks another will be hiring.

In the 2008+ timeframe... maybe it was the niche I was in, but I really didn't see much of a tech slowdown. I was contracting for part of that, and in a down economy companies like contractors so that they are expendable.

On the one hand, it is clearly true that much of the requirements for neural networks (in silicon) to achieve intelligence of a general sort, is to simply be big enough.

On the other hand, anyone acquainted with the facts of biological brain size vs. intelligence, can see that this cannot be all that is going on. Bison are not clearly more intelligent than crows, not even when the part of the brain involved in operating the body parts and processing raw sensory data is excluded. Something other than scale must be involved, even if scale is a necessary condition.

I’ve worked in industry as a software developer, run a consulting business, founded a startup with seed funding, and been a TT professor. Only the last of these jobs required me to edit a document while my wife was in labor (a thing I have yet to live down.) The challenge in academia is the essentially unbounded nature of the work, and the fact that you’re constantly competing with what appear to be major stakes.

Also: my friends in industry have hobbies that don’t involve their work. Even the ones in FAANGs. Seriously I don’t even understand the concept: does going to the gym count?
> Finland to Moscow is ~780 KM and involves a number of impediments, including a major city in St Petersburg

This isn't as relevant as it seems. Russia considers Murmansk critical because it hosts some of their largest military installations, including a very large portion of their nuclear deterrent. Russia has made clear that it would respond if heavy hardware were moved into Finland, although Putin claimed that they don't care as long as nothing changes physically.[1]

I don't understand why it's "authoritarianism" for elected representatives to say "we want to protect X, within the following parameters, and we delegate the job of making specific rules to this agency". You can vote out the legislator if you disagree with the parameters they agreed upon, and you can vote out the executive branch that appointed the leaders of the agency.

We already complain all the time that legislators don't understand the stuff they pass laws about. Delegation is not authoritarianism. You haven't actually said how you'd "fix what's broken". Do you have any specific ideas?
I’ve never seen a situation where someone hasn’t tried to rebuild something that’s already working (in a big community like JS land). Some people wanted more performance from their build systems, some people like other languages to do the transpilation, some people thought the configuration options were too heavy and opaque. That’s why we saw ESBuild and rollup.

But CRA is still on webpack, and CRA is still the de facto default way to make a new react app. I don’t really see the fact that alternatives exist as implying churn when the same option has been the longest living and most popular.
> China wanting to build a security alliance with Canada and Mexico and install advanced weapons systems

This analogy is flawed for two reasons.

First, the USA is not trying to build advanced weapons systems on Russia's borders. Russia's neighbours are BEGGING the US to install advanced weapons systems on their borders to keep Russia at bay. That's issue number one.

Issue number two is that this analogy would only work if USA had a history of constantly threatening Canada with military invasion and had a history of abusing and committing genocide against its citizens. In which case would you really then be surprised if Canada sought overseas protection from its abusive next door neighbour?

Just look a bit into the history (go back a few centuries) of what Russia did to its neighbours. Take my native Poland for example. I don't think there was a single century where Russia did not try to meddle with its affairs or outright invade in our 1000 year shared history. The 19th and 20th centuries being particularly brutal as the relative strength of Russia became more disproportionate.
Linux works perfectly fine for completely non-technical people, who can do everything and anything in a browser, and who doesn't game, use a lot of different peripherals beyond maybe a printer, and upgrades their system every 15 years or so. Like my parents.

You can take away their root access, and if needed, ssh in and do remote support if needed.

Obviously, linux also work excellently for advanced users, those who can just fire up a windows VM and pass through a GPU if they want some windows functionality. (Exactly what I'm doing now. I like to run Windows on top of zfs, as since snapshots make backups/clones, etc so easy.).

For those inbetween, that do intermediate complexity tasks and don't want to struggle with the OS to do them, Windows/Mac is easier.

Depends HOW you coded. I started JS at 11 yo in 2001, and became fulltime around 2012 - 2 more years of JS than you, I'm your grandaddy in this ever changing mess... I do not know Broccoli either. Googling it: "A fast, reliable asset pipeline, supporting constant-time rebuilds and compact build definitions" I raise my eyes to the ceiling and whine "why the hell isn't there an Oracle or IBM for JS to finally standardize just building crap".

It's probably cause I switched 4 years ago from the typical perma-migration grind to rarely using any framework and coding JS like I code the backend. Simple service classes in pure JS, rare dependencies, simple build. I once ditched years of work by a team of 40 to rewrite "everything" in low level javascript and showed the guys that what we spent all this years writing, really, was useless: did we need that enormous angular runtime config resolver that would draw generic components reading from crafted json configuration ? Or could we just write the damn things as we mean it in... javascript directly ?

Don't use a JS framework as long as you can help it, just the simple fact you can trace the whole function chain in a few seconds, vs reverse engineering the damn VueJS, or React, or Angular (does that monster even exist anymore, we hear about it a lot less than when it was all-encompassing, 8 years ago) plumbing, is worth it.

I want to say he’s helped ~ 30 people over the past few years, but can only work with a few clients at a time.

Another example was someone who wasn’t homeless (friend of friend), but was facing thousands in monthly medical treatment bills.

He came to meet with the person and noticed a military bumper sticker and it ended up that the person was a veteran and likely qualified for VA benefits meaning it would basically be covered. They had some bad VA experiences in the past and had written them off.

But that person very well could have ended up on the street with such large medical bills piling up.
