>Ukraine to win as quick as possible

It is not possible for Ukraine to win, they are slowly but methodically getting their country destroyed. What does Germany lighting money on fire funding this destruction do for German interests?

How does this solve their energy needs? It doesn't, it along with sanctions makes energy more expensive. Where they used to be able to buy all energy in Euro's, now some of these purchases now require buying Rubles. Thus Ruble exchange rate is up and Russia's trade surplus is growing.

Germany's alliance with NATO expansion and US meddling in Ukraine along with following US lead to cancel Nord Stream 2 is crushing their economy. Self-sanctioning out of Russian cheap energy supplies will further destroy their industrial output.

>hope it ends the war sooner

hope. That's all they have. It will only impoverish them sooner. Diversification of energy is a worthy goal, but it insane to do this now by first cutting off their primary cheap energy supply. First, continue to buy as much cheap energy as Russia will sell them (instead of selling it to the East). Then, cancel ESG green insanity and pursue oil/gas investments and nuclear expansion wherever possible. But at the end of the day if your neighbor wants to have good trade relations with you, you shouldn't throw that away in service to your "ally" across the ocean.
Bottles is a software package that makes it easier to run Windows software in Linux-based operating systems (using WINE as the compatibility layer, hence the name).

A Linux distribution (often just "distribution" or "distro") is an operating system that combines an assortment of software packages together; typically a kernel (some version of Linux), core system utilities (coreutils, an init system / service manager), a package manager (program to install software from specified sources; this will become important in a moment), and frequently some sort of graphical system (Desktop Environment). The name is because it distributes a collection of software together.

The thing is, the vast majority of software shipped in/by a distribution isn't written by the distro; a distro is at some level simply a collection of scripts to download sources, compile it into package files, and then bundle those into a usable system. While there are exceptions, most distros have official repositories of software that's been packaged for that distro.

What's happened here is that Bottles is a software package that explicitly doesn't want distros to ship it. Bottles views the packages built/shipped by Linux distros as "unofficial" because they weren't created by the Bottles project.
I think you’re confusing OPs post about the European colonization with the actual Native American victims.
I tried to move the cursor and then print at that location through the command line. How do you separate two commands on the same line to do this in the repl?
Bottles helps run Windows apps (especially games) on Linux. They have their own installers and updates channel. Generally when using Linux, you will usually install software from the Linux distribution's (like operating system flavor) software repository. It makes dependency management simpler, you get updates only after they're tested, etc. Those repositories are officially supported by the Linux distribution team (which could be employees for a company like Canonical, or volunteers) but not officially supported by the Bottles team.

Bottles is asking the various Linux distributions to stop offering Bottles through the distribution repositories. The Bottles team wants to own the relationship with the end-user under their own terms: only recent versions, only installers that were tested by them personally, and they will support the community issues. Today distros often deliver older versions and modified installers, while still sending the community to get support from the Bottles team.
Of course it’s still a thing.

Why wouldn’t it be?

If folks are paying more than that or expected to "trick" people into thinking they are getting a good deal (or ripping off the dealer), this isn't an honest sale. It is a game of "who can trick the other more". The MSRP isn't realistically there to advertise the price of the car.

The reason I'm against it is because it means folks are going to get taken advantage of. In a lot of cases, it is the buyer.
> Oh wow. I thought those keys were the foundation for real end-to-end encryption, i.e. Apple doesn't have access to them. Does this mean their "E2EE" is basically fake?

I'm afraid I don't follow.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I thought I was talking about an the manner in which Apple provides an alternative to Apple hardware 2FA.

i.e. "normally / if available", Apple will do 2FA on your account by virtue of you being already logged in on another device. HOWEVER if that device does not exist (or you only own one Apple device), then as per my FAQ link, Apple DO provide an alternative mechanism that DOES NOT rely on the existence of a secondary Apple device.

This methodology is no different to any other 2FA alternative mechanism (e.g. "backup keys" or other websites/services that also use phone/SMS as backup, e.g. Microsoft Authenticator).

Thus I believe I was correctly answering the OP's question AND I don't see any problem with the way Apple does it because in practical terms its no different to anyone else in terms of "backup" for 2FA.

Thus I've no idea what you're claiming to be "fake", and I'm not sure if I want to be drawn into that discussion because it sure sounds like Apple bashing that is not factually supported.
Agree on the macro. Why the need to crush demand now, and what steps by what actors are you identifying as designed to crush demand?
Yes, and we would argue that has grave implications. Cash is useful for the young, the old, those who can't participate in commercial banking, etc.

We don't believe that this trend will necessarily reverse, but rather that a society with no cash is risky to live in.
Honestly, I think point six is glossed over. Limiting alcohol and drug use should be number one. Here in the UK, I swear a significant amount of people have a pattern overdoing it on the weekend and then spending the first few days of the week getting back to normal.

> Uh, wouldn't you, as the user, rather have the power to determine for yourself which version you'd like to stop upgrading at?

Given that I'm not using Linux From Scratch, I'd say no: part of the reason I'm choosing a distribution is because I want to make somebody else deal with tracking updates (including security). I recognize that this comes with downsides (e.g. sometimes new versions have new bugs).

I kind of miss the pre-internet times when shipped software is, well, shipped and static, and typically bundled all of its dependencies outside the OS (which was just listed on the box). On the other hand, I'm typing this on a smartphone that couldn't exist in that model…
Presumably at those speeds, the frame of reference would be the galaxy and the interstellar material in which the ship travels. If your ship were to match the average speed of this material, then you could claim to be at a stop. If the concern was to prevent damage due to collision with this material, then it makes sense that in order to "stop" you would actually have to match the speed of the material that you are moving through.

That makes no sense. I have exactly the same responsibilities as before my switch. I also have exactly the same responsibilities as my peers working 5 days. And yet I successfully squeeze those 5 days into 4, and it wasn't even that hard.

Magic? No, modern office work is incredibly ineffective. Most of the day is spent collaborating with almost no part of the day spent on actually doing things.
That, or when the ship was built with engines capable of delivering 4G they designed the rings to handle it.

You could tether the rings to the outside of the ship (towards the nose) like a suspension bridge to support them during high thrust periods. Perhaps spinning the rings requires the tethers to be removed, or perhaps the rings must not be spinning while the engine thrust above 0.5G (because high trust locks the bearings of the rings).
LHC costs are basically peanuts in comparison to any kind of spending the western countries do (especially if you compare it to spending on killing machines).

Several LHCs, ITERs and ISSes won't bring any of the nations close to Weimar Germany. Aircraft carriers, F-35s, failing infrastructure projects and corruption have a larger chance of doing that.

Mostly checking reviews and specs. My wife and I both use a StarTech dock at work and we have two at home. So far no issues with our Macs.

One thing to watch out for (when you are using a Mac) is to avoid Docks with a Realtek NIC. They use a generic USB driver on macOS that adds CPU load and usually only reaches 700-900MBit. Intel I210 NICs are great, they use PCIe over Thunderbolt and have a native driver.

JPEG XL bitstreams always have a defined color space, optionally described by an embeded ICC profile. They are a part of bitstreams instead of containers [1] because they are considered necessary to reproduce the exact output. When converting from file formats with an ambiguous color space (e.g. PNG without color space information) cjxl assumes sRGB as far as I know; you can give any display color space to djxl.

[1] A JPEG XL file can be a minimal bitstream or an ISOBMFF container, where the latter can contain the actual bitstream and additional metadata like Exif. The bitstream itself should be enough for decoding.
Microsoft and Apple are traditional enemies. Microsoft has no reason to make Apple's hardware more attractive to customers.

The thing I don't get is why a consumer would want this. You want an _extremely expensive_ windows laptop. I guess the hope would be that the battery life is worlds better than anything you'd get in standard windows-land. But in reality battery life optimization requires paying careful to the devices and their drivers -- e.g. when parts of the system shut down because they're not in use. Not easy for a project like this.

So I'd sadly guess you end up with an expensive windows laptop with battery life comparable to a standard windows laptop. But you get that nice minimal Apple industrial design. :shrug:

Designing Fluid Interfaces (2018)
> From a practical perspective, once people can vaccinate to prevent death AND get a cure, many people's definition of "pandemic" is that it is over.

Vaccines weren't available until summer 2021, which was unexpectedly early, and still aren't widely available in some parts of the world. No reasonable "definition" puts the end of a pandemic at summer 2020, but "short and temporary" was certainly the messaging in March 2020.

What I'm saying is that in March 2020 (or perhaps April) it was was obvious that the world would not be out of the pandemic for years in the best case scenario, but many people believed things would be back to normal in weeks or perhaps months. Which... just doesn't have any historical precedent and was clearly wishful thinking. I remember expressing this on the phone to family and friends -- that covid would last years -- and no one believed me.

> I'm curious your thoughts on the intentional efforts are to crush demand, can you elaborate?

Central banks change interest rates in order to shift aggregate demand curves. "Curbing inflation" sounds less negative than "destroying demand", but the central tenant of central bank interest rate policy is that the two are causally related to one another.
No, that is not a relevant reason. There are people who have pinned their Windows versions, there are people who bypass Steam's autoupdates to run old versions of games, this is a general computing problem not a Linux problem. If you want to be particular about the version of something you're running you're not going to be able to rely on systems which were designed to remove that consideration from you, period. Nobody has ever promised that Linux or any other OS would just make all versions of everything work together all the time and you have the total freedom to pick anything with no consequences.
> Lots of companies are predicting a crash in the near future.

Note that when a person/company/whatever believes this, they tend to take steps that improve that entity's position, but slightly destabilizes the system as a whole. So if enough entities believe that a crash is coming, it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Take a look at the docs page in the website (https://www.endbasic.dev/docs.html) and the demos at the top of the gallery (https://www.endbasic.dev/gallery.html).
People employed in manufacturing in the US—not productivity, employees—is about the same as in 1941 just before Pearl Harbor. We had worse tech then, about the same number of people working in manufacturing, and our factories produced a tiny fraction of the output per worker that a modern factory does.

IOW we should be way more capable of rapid expansion of industrial capacity than 1941 America was, and 1941 America did a pretty damn good job of it over the following few years (months, even).

We do also have a lot more domestic demand than then, for multiple reasons, but again, modern factories are way more productive per worker than a factory in 1941.

What could lag is specifically high tech manufacturing. A car factory or aluminum plant is one thing. A chip fab is another. That kind of extremely-high-capital-cost ultra-specialized manufacturing, we probably should have been forcing to be at least partly on-shore for security reasons, even if it caused higher prices.

Yes. I have no idea why ECT gets left off of lists so often, because it's almost always within 1% of the best tools on size, and at least several times faster than them on speed.

As far as I can tell, pingo isn't cross platform or open source, in addition to the issue you mention with the license statement, which makes it extremely limiting for e.g. automated processing of images on a server. I think ECT is absolutely a reasonable choice for most use cases.

Depending on your industry, SEO can be crucial part to scaling your business. These days provided you have the technical aspects right, site speed, mark up, structuring etc - you'll have a solid framework to build from. It's harder to pull those black hat tactics that we've all heard of, so it's best you just focus on providing quality content, and ensure Google is indexing it. Developing a strategy isn't too hard, utilise tools like Answer The Public to develop out your strategy, monitor search console for changes and adjust as needed.

From experience I've seen clients who've hired a SEO agency years back, and have never stopped paying them due to the fear their traffic will bottom out. I do believe SEO agencies offer value, however base level offerings such as technical suggestions and keyword strategy don't get businesses far. Typically the people who pay for the base level offerings don't have the in house talent to write solid blog posts / action the suggestions. Plus most base level offerings could be augmented by paying for a tool like SEMRush yourself, and letting the automated reports run.

Long tail searches with little competition are the easy wins. Popular keywords will take time and effort, but usually with alot of work involved.
No, it doesn't.

Because once created something will have a life of its own. The question is only meaningful prior to creating it. This goes for the atomic bomb, the invention of gunpowder, strong cryptography and any other tool.

But if you don't care about ethics then it is obvious why you would not ask that question to begin with and I think that technology without ethics is no better than your average arms manufacturer. Only there at least we have - in some cases - some control over the uses, whereas software multiplies at a speed that politics can not catch up with. This may be a good thing, or it may be a terrible thing, and if it is the latter you will only find out when it is too late if you don't spend some cycles thinking about it beforehand.

I liked the internet a lot better before I had to think about the security implications of every move I made, and the difference between 'bad actors' that are incapable of wrecking everything and 'bad actors' that are empowered by the brain children of the good actors far more than the good actors are (due to the asymmetry between destruction and creation) may be more than we can deal with.

It isn't a bad idea. It's a very good idea for Europe. Cheap plentiful energy supply from your neighbor and expanded economic relations would be a very good thing for making Europe economy strong.

Sanctioning Russia is hurting Europe severely. They have massive gas and oil needs supplied by Europe. The sanctions hurt German industry and this energy cannot be replaced by other sources anywhere near similar prices or volumes

The idea of having a metadata resource attached in a standard way to every file is certainly tempting. Apple's Resource Fork is an example of it working well right until the point you need to copy said file over to a system that has no knowledge of it.
Project developer here, Windows actually has a x64 compatibility layer now for ARM64 systems in general, so any ARM64 Windows device should be able to run x64 apps (granted the performance penalty is worse than Rosetta since Rosetta relies on Apple SoCs actually implementing small slices of x86 (memory ordering model for instance) which isn't true for any Qualcomm SoC at the moment.)

The problem with x64 on arm64 is no longer if it's possible, but rather the performance penalty. As for whether I'll try to make a Rosetta-like compat layer using the hardware optimizations: not sure yet, I have bigger fish to fry before I get there.
This is my #1 nitpick when I hear "no one enforces that" when talking about a company rule or something in the handbook. That's all well and good... today... with my current manager... but I don't want to build my life on such shaky ground. Make it official.

This was my biggest issue with the WFH policy at my last employer, it was 100% manager discretion (in part so they could prevent a few departments from taking advantage while maintaining the "we all follow the same rules regardless of department"-lie). I was taking 2 days a week as WFH but I always knew it could be taken away in an instant and HR tried to soothe me with "It's totally allowed, don't worry about it". Of course I also had issues with it not being extended to the rest of the company and, in what will come as surprise to no one, the whole office went to WFH in 2020 after years of them telling me it couldn't be done.
Not the parent commenter but this isn’t as far fetched as it seems. Since much is abstracted by the Win32 and other APIs, they could write something to do exactly this.
The regulation as written specifically accounts for advancements in standards and includes options to switch to a new mandatory port over a period of years. It also specifically mentions USB-IF as an organization to work with for such future standards.

Safe to say we would probably have standardized on USB-C even sooner had they passed this law for micro-B in 2009.
