I’m originally from Finland. There are definitely neo-Nazis in the country. I’ve seen them marching on the Finnish Independence Day. (Interestingly these local Nazis are generally fans of Putin because his ethno-state is much closer to their dream than Finland itself.)

If Putin now decided to invade Finland, you’d presumably be here with the following arguments:

“Why is nobody talking about the Finnish Nazis? Media reported on that before, they’re not talking about it now. It’s all lies.”

“How do I know Russia is actually bombarding Helsinki? BBC is just propaganda and the Finnish media is probably controlled by the Nazis.”

“Finland sent peacekeeper troops to Afghanistan so they’ve implicitly supported American aggression. Why should we expect different from Russia. Can’t we sanction Finland too”

It’s safe for you to engage in this kind of nonsense pseudo-media-critical sophistry when nobody you know is getting killed.

I have just received 314 request in the last 3 hours for my brochure of turnkey rural land+tiny house+visa +off grid infrastructure for $50.000. I'll send out the material this weekend. I expanded the list of land plots to 31 today.

With so many interested people I think we should set up an online community. It could grow into the support network for us remote rural people worldwide. I'll add the myrad links to the biographies, blogs, vlogs, websites, articles and resources. I'll put up this website at http://ruralremote.org and a backup at http://fiberhood.org within 24 hours

The reason I offer rural land plus working visa plus a tiny house and infrastructure as a package is that it is very hard to arrange all this by oneself, especially for city people. It took me three years fulltime work, thousands of hours of video and many failures before I was successful.
But its all worth it, off course! Waking up with deer drinking at your own river, walking for an hour through your own forest to reach the edge, getting lost on your own land, planting an acre of trees, planting and eating your own food, having meetings with customers from all around the world with a laptop under a palm tree, it really is as magical as I thought it would be.

But you still need at least a $1000 income from remote work and a visa, without it its even harder to make remote living work at all. Maybe we can help you find that remote work too, now that we have a large group of interested people.

More than 50% of people who attempt it wound up broke, ill or destitute, giving up after 10 year at moving to a rural off-grid existence.

Don’t be fooled by the low land prices, it is the easy part. Building and living permits and working visa are hard. Anyone can get an acre of land for $1000 in most of the US and Europe. Few can actually live there for more than a year (cold, drought, crime).

Cheap land is not the problem you have to solve. How to be warm in the winter, how to make a living when the nearest town is 2 hours driving, what to do when you are sick and 300km from a hospital, where you get the money to buy food or transport. How to find a partner or how to deal with loneliness.

I’l sell you an almost turnkey solution but you still need months of planning and preparation while your custom tiny house is being built (or existing house being renovated). I sell you my construction labour for $8K, $15K internet,electrical heating and water infrastructure, $21K house building materials, $6K legal fees and experience from a network of people who have made the transition.

Yes, it is logical for Russia to be friend with USA and Europe but its leader does not want to. You can't be friend with somebody who does not want to be your friend. It is not possible.

You have everything upside down in your head. Helping Ukraine does not destabilize Europe. Letting Putin win does, because destabilizing and dividing Europe is his main goal. He does not stop in Ukraine because winning there will simply confirm his concept of winning wars.

Another wrong aspect is that you imagine that Russia is like UK, a democratic country. It is not, Putin has turned it into a Fascist regime. If you asked what is wrong in Nazi Germany's attack against Poland, then you would be asking the right question - you don't realize why it is wrong because you are not asking the right question.
I loved using Inkscape when I was running Linux, but since switching to a Mac it’s one of the programs I found to be running a lot worse on that platform compared to what I remembered.

I get that it’s a GTK application so not running with native UI components, but is there something that can be configured or installed to make it more responsive? Just opening Inkscape with a blank document and resizing the window is incredibly laggy, maybe redrawing the window only once or twice a second as I resize it.

edit: I should have installed version 1.2 before posting this comment. I've now tried it and it's much more responsive than it's ever been on macOS. Really great work from the Inkscape team!
Heh I’ve been vegan for ages, just watched it. Great reminder.
- Why isn't diagram generation automated as part of the build process (UML or otherwise)?

It's another thing that can break, another element that needs to be maintained. In my experience there are very few pieces of code that will be able to run indefinitely without ever being updated, fixed, or re-examined at some point. The cost of adding more processes is not one-time, and it can be difficult to figure out what the time bounds are.

- Why aren't code visualization tools more popular? The options out there seem outdated

People who are interested in the structure of code are typically engineers, capable of writing and reading the codebase of interest. A UML diagram may be a way to understand an element of the system, but things such as in-line comments in the codebase itself are often more instructive on structure and function.

- Would you want to use these tools? What would be your ideal tool?

When I was in high school, if I didn't want to read, say Crime & Punishment, I could buy the Cliff's Notes version, and get a chapter-by-chapter summary of major characters, events, and literary techniques. In many ways, it contained all of the information of the book without the substance.

But importantly, it took significantly less time to read and fully process than the book, while being written in the same language. In code, it is already extremely easy to look thru header files, or collapse every function in your IDE to get a high-level overview of what data and methods exist. You can then dive in immediately to anything you would like to understand better ("what does 'UpdateSignificanceValue' really mean") and there's no mental overhead in translating from an encoded diagram into whatever your mental model is. This is why I do not personally see value in code visualization -- outside of notes I take that are relevant to any specific problem I am working on.

> Even becoming an independent contractor is fraught with many of the same hurdles.

It depends, there is no simple entity "independent contractor". If you can run your business as Freiberufler - roughly but not quite a freelancer - you may have found a pretty lightweight framework - even compared to other jurisdictions. Simpler accounting, no need for balance sheets and therefore for a tax advisor in most cases (still recommended). Liability can be largely limited by insurance, depending on the field of business.

I'm doing this for over 20 years and I simply have no need to own any kind of corporation.

Of course, YMMV.
Look, I am far from pro-government interference. That being said, I personally disagree with much of your argument here.

You implicitly agree to some measure when you participate in the society set up by government.

There is today a very common attitude that governments are intentionally only serving a small elite. This populist - perhaps even intuitive - rhetoric is exaggerated for most of the Western world.

If you’re living on your own out in the wilderness, I can see your argument. But this actually does exist to some degree in how uncontacted peoples[0] are generally not subject to the laws of the government whos jurisdiction they fall under. This isn’t a lifestyle most of us would choose but perhaps there is some merit to making this path easier to take for those who desire it.

You don't have to track everyone to ration resources.

You can just say, 1KG per person, and voilla its done.
It's ok that the government wants this data, but the data protection agency needs to tell them no, that's not possible, and maybe work with them to make something similar possible - but that respects privacy. Due to the database leak effect, I hope they do a good job.

That sounds plausible, but the data still suggests doing broad-based advertising through stadium names probably won't give you the ROI you're looking for.
So, “it’s ok because someone already tries to do it and they’re worse?” This is the second worst argument against privacy I’ve ever heard after “I have nothing to hide”. Privacy is essential for human dignity. Tracking everything a person does and buys is dehumanizing and ripe for abuse.

But there’s no precedent for personal data being misused mishandled or abused right?
Clarifying the parent comment: Affinity Designer is only available for macOS, Windows, and iPadOS. It is not available on Linux.
I am not sure I want to start over in that I want to change profession. I love coding - have done so for nearly thirty years now and cannot see myself stopping even in retirement (I do see software as a form of literacy) but would I like to work in different domains - yes. Write code for non-profits ? yes. In different parts of the world with different people? yes

That kind of start over I do want. The give it all up and become a landscape gardner ? Not really, because although I would enjoy it, I know in six months I would be trying to use code to solve landscape gardening problems :-)
One month severance is perfectly reasonable. They're under no obligation to make sure people are in a better position than they were before, and if someone walked away from options, etc at a previous company that's their business. One month is enough time to find a job if you aren't choosy.

You have to draw the line somewhere. When the economy goes south, guess what? People will be out of work. I don't know why white collar workers seem to think they need to be isolated from all bad events.

Diagram generation is plagued by the same problems as the "Rational Rose" fantasy of automatic code generation from diagrams: trivial applications are trivial to diagram, and non-trivial ones defy it, as the complexity (dependencies tend to form dense, multiply connected graphs in these applications) quickly outstrips any straightforward mapping to a visual representation.

I wouldn't use these tools anyway, to be honest. They have some limited utility when constrained to small components/parts of an application (e.g., self-contained libraries), but for understanding systems as a whole there is too much to have effective reverse-engineering into a visualization (in my opinion).
I’m obsessed with this stuff so this was an incredibly gratifying read.

I really think we can use something like the block protocol to create something of similar utility for semantics and composition as Vue or React has for view layers. There can’t be The One True Block for every single intent, but we can make creating structured data so much easier and rewarding than it is now.

Early on in my career I was incredibly obsessed with HTML semantics and could rabbit hole on that for ages. I still love it, but as the article mentions, the relativity and subjectivity of real-world semantics inherent of ontologies it makes it hard to embrace - not only in the context of web apps and content, but as teams as well.

I’m very hopeful that just as view layers provide enough abstraction and flexibility to compose user interfaces from the same blocks, something like the block protocol can allow us to construct and compose data from the same blocks in a productive and efficient manner.
The "if" was not meant to indicate I doubted you. I agree. It was to indicate a prior in the sense of "if this is true, this other thing should also be true).

VMs are also not a foolproof solution to operational security. It depends entirely on your risk appetite. If you're going to run containers, you should run them with as little permissions as you can. Hence, rootless.

> How long can Germany, the perpetrator of the Holocaust, keep ignoring what happens in Xinjiang, with concentration camps, genocide and forced labor allegations while claiming to have learned "never again" from the 1933-45 era?

What's going on in Xinjiang has nothing to do with the Holocaust. Nobody is being killed in Xinjiang, which makes the use of the word "genocide" laughable.

Part of "never again" is remembering what Germany did, and comparing what's happening in Xinjiang to the Holocaust is frankly outrageous and shameful.
Yes. Eg if you look at Java try-with-resources there is an exact scope during which resources live and can be used. At the end of the scope the .close() method will be called.

For C++ and Rust there might not be a well defined scope since objects can be „moved“. Eg a method constructing an object can return it to the caller without the destructor being called.

No you can't. Well, you can try, but it's a rhetorical technique used only by people who can't support their claims, and does not meet the burden of proof.

The person who makes the claim initially has the burden of proof. Your proposed technique is discussed in the Wikipedia article in the section "Shifting the burden of proof".

I actually don’t live in Germany but this is definitely an interesting setup. I might actually run it by my German tax consultant to see what he thinks about it just out of curiosity :)
I suspect that in any society where this exists, the government will end up making it available for everyone... or will be voted out / overthrown for a government that will.

It seems that they are paying a severance package of two months of base pay to try to compensate for that. [1]

What are the alternatives to Gimp that you like?
Well, it depends on what you call "Privacy". See, the Europeans (as a whole) take a completely different attitude towards Government and Private Organizations than Americans do. To many Americans, the Government is the big, bad wolf, trying to take everything from us. In Europe (to a much larger degree) they take the opposite stance. To many EU citizens, they can control the Government and it's policies at the ballot box, but not so the Corporations. That's why the best Privacy regulations regarding Corporations are coming from Europe, and not the US.

I won't say one way is better than the other, but it's telling that almost every major IT Security standard that deals with Privacy (absent NIST of course) takes its guidance from the EU.

The irony is there's use cases for that waste heat.

- Utilities could use the extra boost of heat in winter

- producing potable water

The coin produced from these processes could then be used as tradable units. "Heat Coin" or "Fresh Water Coin" would ease the transaction of these resources.

Hence, we get to the root of the problem of any "Coin": it is inherently worthless without any real asset or unit of production to back it's value.

Obviously the intent isn't to destroy cars, not any more than the intent of driving gasoline cars is to heat the atmosphere.

>Sounds pretty wasteful for the environment to take all of these existing cars out, replace them with EVs, and dump the requirements into the electric grid.

Get your timelines straight. This all happened decades ago, before EVs were a thing. The cars on the road today aren't getting destroyed by ethanol.
