The war in Ukraine doesn't provide sufficient evidence that modern combined arms operations are outdated. Russia deployed combat troops significantly short on man power, leading to a situation where attacks had far more armor than infantry. See https://warontherocks.com/2022/06/not-built-for-purpose-the-... for example. It's been known since the Spanish Civil War that tanks are vulnerable to anti-tank teams when not properly supported by infantry, especially in adverse terrain. WW2-era tanks were effectively countered by anti-tank gun teams in entrenched positions, which is why they worked in concert with infantry, artillery, and close air support to suppress anti-tank guns and enable the tanks to advance. Or they could bypass these well-defended positions and attack at weaker points, taking advantage of the tank's superior tactical mobility.

While it is possible that drones and modern ATGM teams could effectively counter traditional combined arms operations, the evidence from the war in Ukraine is largely inconclusive at this time. If Russia were to correct their manpower issues, or at least be able to conduct traditional combined arms offensives in certain areas, then we'd have more solid evidence. Notably Ukraine still sees value in the tank, since they've been repeatedly requesting tanks (along with a variety of equipment) from the West.

Personally, I think we'll see an adjustment to the balance of military forces, but the tank will continue to play a pivotal role. Active protection systems will continue to improve, we'll see the expansion of short range air defenses and doctrine to counter drones (and even longer-ranged ATGMs), increased teaming of drones alongside infantry and armor (in doctrine acting as a sort of middle ground between artillery and air power), and the usage of novel indirect fires for tanks like the KSTAM.
I didn't know GoG existed when it came to writing up a couple of tutorials[1][2] on how to go about building a (very, very simple) charting tool[3] on top of my canvas library. I'm going to have to re-assess those lessons, and add some links to other guides, now that I know about them.

Luckily for me, the main purpose of the lessons was not so much about how to build a charting tool, but rather concentrated on how to break the code into modules in the hope that some of the modules could be reused in other, similar projects.

If I'm making obvious mistakes in the approach, or code, that I set out in the lessons then feedback is always welcome so corrections/improvements can be made to them!

2G isn't as spectrally efficient as 5G. It can't service nearly as many users in a cell so it ends up just being wasteful. Carriers do not want to waste their spectrum licenses on 2G service for some small minority of customers.

Those old feature phones are generating e-waste already as they're on their nth battery and have chargers with connectors not used by any other device.
I don’t understand your point. I’m merely pointing out that calling something political is itself a political behavior.
For now, each process runs many isolates - but a single server run many processes. Cloudflare have implemented a similar mechanism [1]:

> Workers are distributed among cordons by assigning each worker a level of trust and separating low-trusted workers from those we trust more highly. As one example of this in operation: a customer who signs up for our free plan will not be scheduled in the same process as an enterprise customer. This provides some defense-in-depth in the case a zero-day security vulnerability is found in V8.

Ask HN: Why not optimize the number of working hours for each employee?
At some point, working too much will result in a worse outcome. But this point may vary from employee to employee.

So why not optimize the number of working hours for each (full-time) employee separately?

Employees might try to game this system but you could always fire an employee whose optimal result is substandard for the company.
> You can argue either side to this, and make a good case.

Here is an argument. Fed is a thief. First it recklessly bailed out all the toxic banks and derivatives in 2008, then kept the interest rates low for too long propping up the asset prices, then basically printed money as if there is no tomorrow, and then the moment middle class started to see wage growth they gave the asset owning class opportunity exit with big margin as they retired and then started raising the rates. End the Fed.
Alloception: I Saw Someone in There
How do you use it to bookmark?
That would be true if the actual NFTs stored the art in question, or even a cryptographic fingerprint of it. Generally speaking most NFTs are just a URL that usually points to some random webserver on some random domain, both of which could entirely cease to exist at any time or be taken over by another party.

i.e your dumb ape picture could now suddenly become furry porn.

Real art (assuming proper steps to preserve and protect it) will remain as it was while it's in your care. You -own- it, you can take it where you please, store it how you please, etc.

NFTs aren't like real-art at all, they are at best analogous to in-game collectibles - entirely subject to ToS but even those are less predatory and ponzi-like than NFTs.
I don't like people who posture as being dangerous.
Google Cloud Functions and Cloud Run are good options, I prefer Run which runs arbitrary containers

A quick glance at the page shows some features that normal "video organizers" don't generally have:

- Metadata scrapers (core + community ones [which, seems to be A LOT of them, see https://github.com/stashapp/CommunityScrapers/tree/master/sc...]) tailored to adult sites

- Videos also have N scenes, which also can be tagged

- Videos (and scenes) have "performers" and tags, rather than just one video file having actors/actresses and categories

- Videos/scenes have markers with tags

Doesn't seem like the feature set (except the scrapers) HAVE to be adult-only, but I guess there is a big audience enough to justify a niche application like this.
So in a free country, a sworn public servant who others would call for protection in an emergency should be able to make it clear that he would not protect certain people based on skin color, without any public repercussions? Keep in mind the difference between a public servant and an employee at a private company.
This is intentional IIRC. Node is a Javascript runtime, has competitors like Deno with very different APIs. Cloudflare has gone the route of being as close to the ES spec as possible instead of committing to any specific runtime APIs.

For the case at hand, It doesn’t support buffer APIs but supports ArrayBuffers, so you can build on top of it. You can use any off the shelf browserify/buffer shim package to work it around.

Can you point to some tests for depression? A quick Google only turned out some studies, nothing approved and usable in clinical settings (and one of the studies had a test that couldnt differentiate between depression and bipolar disorder).

Similarly, brain imaging for pain is at the research level, and may come with several other risks. I doubt there are such tests that could be used to conclusively prove that someone is or is not in pain.
What is the significance of Pensoft?
It's the same thing, if you think of aircraft as missiles. The point is the extension of range. Aircraft can reach out much, much further than a naval gun, and can be used to scout more effectively (many 20th century battleships had aircraft of their own for scouting/fire spotting). Even modern missile-equipped warships are less flexible in some ways than a carrier air wing, though we have yet to see warfare pitting a modern carrier battle group against anti-ship missiles.
Choose the best language for what the kid wants to learn.

Minecraft Education Edition - choose between Scratch, Python, and JS.

Battlesnake - any language with web server capabilities.

Electronics - C++, MicroPython, or Lua with NodeMCU

Love2d - Lua

PyGame - Python

etc.

I hesitate to recommend JS because it seems to introduce really bad habits, but it's hard to beat the feedback loop of writing code and seeing something in a web page. Lots of kids might be motivated to build an io game to share with their friends, for example -- JS on Replit or Glitch is perfect for that.
Why do people assume that an economy will grow forever. If that were the case, how come the Roman empire failed to conquer the galaxy? 3% over 2000 years is a lot of growth, a lot, I can't stress how unimaginably large that amount of growth is.
It needs to be at the end of the calling function so you can throw the calling function's stack frame away, since it's still in use. Getting rid of the calling stack frame is what proper tail calls is about.
Their analogy is bad, and it’s valuable to call out the nuance.

The statement is a reaction to blaming free market economics when the reality is a scenario of the opaque third party payer system in a highly regulated environment. Consumer gets no price transparency, state regulatory boards made up of current market suppliers control market entry - say what you want about it’s appropriateness but the US medical industry hardly resembles a free market.

“Corporatism” may be a ham-handed way to call this out, but it’s not helping society to lay the medical industry’s problems at the feet of capitalism. This problem of cronyism in markets (especially) exists in communist economies as well. It’s throwing out the baby with the bath water.
A tank is certainly more useful in the middle distance than at extreme range, or in tight spaces, there’s better choices of tool for those jobs guided artillery/rockets at distance and heavy auto-cannon clad infantry fighting vehicles like in the city. But not all warfare exists in either of those ranges.

Tanks are great at assaulting enemy hard points, taking fire away from supporting infantry who can move in and cleanup the position after the tank has suppressed it or broken it open. It’s a heavy weapon of mobility and manoeuvre on the field.

A tank’s role is that of heavy cavalry, designed to intimidate and break defensive lines in a charge across contested territory and to provide immediate direct fire on a target in support of advancing infantry. As the modern rifleman company is the descendant of line infantry of old, the tank is the descendant of the Cuirassier.
Your definition of failure is a funny one. So renewables are now consistently supplying 20-30% of Germanys electricity despite decades of efforts by the fossil and nuclear lobby, which essentially destroyed Germanys wind and solar industry (which was world leading).

Nuclear on the other hand which, if you read what proponents said in the 50s, 60s and 70s, was going to give us unlimited free energy, is somehow deemed a success?

Now that renewables are essentially eating fossils and nuclears lunch we are supposed to believe that some sort of nuclear technological revolution is just around the corner and all the high costs are due to the "bad government regulations" anyway?
You're welcome!

My experience has been that large companies won't directly argue with academic research, even when they easily could. Most people will automatically side with academics in any dispute, because they'll intuit that of course the company would say there's no real problem, they're conflicted, whereas the researchers aren't so the latter must be correct. Many people aren't too savvy about the publish-or-perish problem and don't care about the details. Corporate PR people also hate picking public fights, so tell staff to just roll with it and engage in damage control. After all, you're arguing with people who can literally spend all day writing up clever sounding papers about why their claimed problem is real, whereas you have customers to satisfy.
The opinion piece you submitted is definitely the one with the catchier title!
I'd be surprised if many Go -> WASM would fit in 3MB of ram

That's before you worry about the fact that Go has a different runtime and mem management strategy. I'd only use Go WASM for toys at this point
I don't understand your comment. Please explain yourself.
Hmm.

Perhaps we could use bored humans as an accelerator to heuristically solve NP-complete problems. Then we'd just need to do the verification step.

All we need to do is prove that this produces a big-O improvement, and I think we could make a compelling business case.

70 cents on the dollar when oil is at $120 is still much better than 100 cents at 50$ though.
Inflation forces people to seek new jobs every few years. That is not necessarily a bad thing. The alternative is to have your boss decide for you when he wants to fire you.
I stopped using Notion of a few months ago due to the leaky abstraction of their blocks model. Back to plaintext (via Obsidian) for me.
We are going the long way around to figure out that Tannenbaum was right and we need microkernels. The IPC costs cause sticker shock, but at the end of the day perhaps they are table stakes for a provably correct system.
Even if that's true, doing so after vfork() is still much harder than after fork(), not easier.
> Of course people still speak Russian in Ukraine.

Then it's not banned as you claimed.

> Yes from both sides. 3.4k civilian casualties prior to the actual war.

With 3000 out of that in 2014 and 2015. In 2021 - 18 civilian deaths, half of that caused by unexploded shells/mines - https://ukraine.un.org/sites/default/files/2021-10/Conflict-...

War in Donbas was actually dying out in the past few years, until Putin decided to escalate it and cause deaths of 10 000s.
I'm interested to see what Notion does with it. Seems Notion + Calendar seems to target the area that Sunsama (https://sunsama.com/) is playing in.
Yes, all energy requires more energy since EROEI (energy return on energy invested) on dead trees went below 10-to-1 in the past decades (initially around 100-to-1 when coal, oil and gas where initially discovered).

Wind and solar are only interesting in very small solutions (think small sailing boats), nuclear is super energy intense to build! Hydro is the ONLY balanced investment but all good locations are already in use.
What about drone tanks?
Right. There were similar discussions about whether the tank has a future after many of them were destroyed in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The main issues were crappy Russian equipment and poor tactics.

Batteries will be only a negligible fraction of utility storage, and a negligible fraction of those will be lithium. Lithium is the most expensive storage.

Utilities will choose the cheaper among many alternatives, not the most expensive; the which is why they are not building nukes.

Or rather, it ensures they avoid a one-off under-correction. One big rate hike will be forgotten quickly and worked around. Inflation is a beast that needs long-term trends, not one-off actions.
> I would say that I have dated a lot in the past 10 years, and have been in some great long term (1 year or longer) relationships, but I've never dated someone I've met through my social circles, nor have I ever started off as an acquaintance and then transitioned over time into being romantically involved.

That's more common than it used to be, but still a very large minority of American couples meet through social circles. (Probably also stronger than it used to be though, is the divergence between different regional, class, ethnic, and other subcultural divides on how this works out; the idea that there is one specific pattern of “American” dating is as false as the idea that American romance movies paint an accurate picture of it.)
Predictably, the Fed's quantitative easing combined with stimulus created inflation.

You can make a decent argument that the initial policy was the right thing to do. I mean, if you're going to force people not to work because of a pandemic, you have to give them some money. Whether there was (or is ever) a need to prop up the stock market as well is less obvious.

But where they VERY clearly f'ed up is labeling the inflation as "transitory" and allowing the market to keep running up ridiculous returns (which were detached from underlying value) and now having to clamp down much harder to get a hold on inflation, which will cause significant structural unemployment as those companies that were running red hot and expanding until a few months ago have to do a bunch of layoffs.
Chips from that era from the USSR were interesting in many aspects, one of them was the odd (compared to Western, that is) pitch of the pins. The spacing in the West was based on the imperial system, typically 2.54 mm or a fraction of that between the pins, whereas the USSR stuff could be either 2.54, 2.5 or 2mm pitch.

This made some repairs quite hard simply because the parts even though nominally compatible with each other would not fit the holes over anything more than an 8 pin dip.

Not the OP, but they should seek for peace as soon as possible, that will reduce the number of dead Ukrainians and also the amount of territory that they might further lose.

Ideally the Zelensky regime should have gotten the message and should have left for the West as soon as the Russian paratroopers landed at Gostomel. The Czechoslovaks in '68 and the Hungarians in '56 had done exactly that. Yes, that would have probably meant a couple of decades of a Russian-backed puppet regime in Kyiv but the future would have been open for anything. As things stand right now Ukraine has almost no access to the Black Sea anymore, about 7 million people have left their homes, not to mention the tens of thousands of civilians dead in this war.
Do you think there is any practical use to it instead of running just an embedded OS? Driver support maybe?
An earlier poster mentioned something about gas and oil.

There is also some really interesting scientific research.
WASM could be nice if you do not control the running environment (browser), once it matures more. I don't see the benefit of adding the v8 runtime as a layer for anything that is not native to it. More abstraction and complexity gives rise to concern
That could be nice for audio. I have lots of album rips as single mp3's. It would be nice to have metadata for the tracks inside the mp3 without having to split the mp3 out into separate files.

Seems fine for ordinary video too. Like, tag all the scenes in a Star Trek episode where Mr. Spock appears.
It seems to me that WASM is clearly a better suited technically as the core runtime of the future for serverless platforms... but the question is are isolates the VHS and WASM the Betamax in this story?

Academia is a despotic, anachronistic system. There needs to be a movement to break education and research out of academic institutions. There are enough online resources to provide free education to anyone who wishes it, and nobody should have to pay for a degree (instead; students should be paid; it's in the interest of society). Funding and licensing of science needs to open up to anyone who desires it, in order to become productive again. The current system is optimized to create busybodies who oversell their work for a few years before dumping it and moving on to their next scam. Postdocs are victims of their own delusion that working in academia is somehow superior to working in any other way.
Maybe. But severe/cystic acne and the like are rarely solved so simply by dietary intervention. If the acne was so bad as to warrant an Accutane prescription, then my guess is that diet would not have helped much. Accutane can take a large toll on the body but is often one of the most effective tools in eradicating acne long term for those so strongly impacted.
>It's easier to make a weapon that takes out a tank, than it is to make a tank that can defend itself to it.

Tanks had shock and awe value in nineteen sixteen. for the first time on the battlefields you had an imposing, lumbering, seemingly unstoppable juggernaut of forged iron that if left to its means, could obliterate hard targets like buildings and bunkers without much effort and keep advancing seemingly endlessly. if you could reason to stop them, the thought was perished by the overwhelming terror alone they imposed.

by WWII most antitank technology had reached horrors unimaginable; being a tanker was objectively near suicide. the swedish bofors sabot rounds could not only pierce most german armor, but cook the occupants alive with a shower of boiling steel before they invariably detonated the ordinance on board. even smaller mines like the TM41 were enough to blow the road wheels through the driver and out the hatch. And if all that proves too technical, the Japanese tactic in WW2 was to simply hose tanks in petrol and light them ablaze.

the only shock and awe of a 21st century tank is watching your tax dollars propel something with 0.6mpg
The environmentalist lobby doesn't allow or forbid. It has overwhelmingly less power than is projected on it by nuke advocates. Nukes are losing wholly on their own.
