I apologize for having phrased my comment such that it implies European countries are not contributing. The Baltics, Poland, and Norway [0] are contributing outsized amounts to Ukraine. Russia's (most recent) invasion hits close to home for them, and it shows.

Your chart actually illustrates what I was trying to say, which is that some of the largest EU countries, namely Germany, France, and Italy, have been hesitant to act on a larger scale that would possibly put them in the crosshairs of Russian retaliation. France, being the only sovereign nuclear power remaining in the EU, is particularly important. Having its largest countries be more willing to flex military power would let the EU act outside the shadow of the US and be considered a superpower in its own right.

[0] News to me, albeit unsurprising.
It definitely requires a culture level buy-in. Maybe places already having high density populations could birth such a project. But that’s a catch22 itself.
This film about Richard Batterham, independent potter. It's just half and hour of him talking through his process and his art and what's important to him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN3hRRIO4-c

Harlan County USA (1976) is a great documentary about a coal strike. https://www.criterion.com/films/777-harlan-county-usa

American Movie (1999) is a documentary about a wanna film-maker in the US. In other hands the documentary would have mocked this man and his wild attempts to get his films made. But the documentary ends up being a mostly sympathetic film about struggling against adversity. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181288/

Engaging in complex thinking while keeping one's imagination in check is indeed difficult.
As a glider pilot I find this mindset disappointing. Every aviator must have a constantly updating array of "what if" situations and planned responses: "Right now, where's my best landing spot and how would I get lined up for that?" etc. It leads to a chess-like thinking ahead mindset which brings all kinds of benefits. "Whelp I'll just pull the lever if something goes wrong" robs you of that.

Automation and chutes are fine but we keep seeing incidents where lack of judgement, planning or basic stick and rudder skills were contributory.

In the 1980s Jack Absalom made a series of 45 minute videos about travelling through the Australian Outback, and a lot of them are on YouTube now. A neat combination of how to travel through harsh environments, with a lot of beautiful scenery (he's a painter), and interesting historical facts about Australia.

I also keep an eye on the PeriscopeFilm YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/PeriscopeFilm/videos

They're not quite documentaries, but there are some interesting videos now and then.

Gary Hustwits design trilogy:

Helvetica - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica_(film)

“about typography and graphic design, centered on the eponymous typeface.”

Objectified - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectified

“examining the role of everyday non-living objects, and the people who design them, in our daily lives.”

Urbanized - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanized

“discusses how cities are designed, and it features interviews with urban planners and architects“

They are beautifully made films, and he interviews some of the most influential designers of the last century.

It funny how many times I’ve told people to watch Helvetica and they have just looked at me and asked how there could be a film about a “font”. It’s so much more, the films really cover design methodology and how it influences our every day lives.
"S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine"

It's a great documentary in its own way. It circles around the S21 Tuol Sleng prison/interrogation center/extermination center where a small cadre of Khmer Rouge soldiers were responsible for, mostly using torture, extracting a confession out of the prisoner. The names given during torture were picked up, and the cycle repeats. Entire generations of families went out this way.

Horrible, horrible event in history, and a chilling place to visit (I did a decade ago).

This documentary allows plenty of room for the guards/soldiers/torturers themselves to describe the events from their side. Which they do.

Those Waffle House cooks have to be some of the most talented people in any kitchen in North America.

Sure the food is super simple to prepare, but the way they are able to handle the stress and rush should be studied so that we can learn to apply it to our own lives.

I love watching the servers call out orders while the cook never misses a beat and prepares everything without writing anything down or even looking at a ticket.
It’s a pretty dark documentary but I came across a British doc about addiction and it’s the single film that’s stuck with me the most.
A ~London based photographer and journalist covered addiction but decided he wasn’t “close enough to the story” to really understand the subjects. He starts doing heroin and the documentary is about his unsuccessful journey to get clean (across like a decade) - it’s powerful and deeply scary and sad. But suppose it’s great journalism.

Good luck to y’all

I don't know if this the right advice for everyone, but for me these are things I thought of when choosing a school:

- Pick a school based on what learning management system they use. All your coursework is going to be done on these systems, so you should think about which one your prospective school uses. Canvas and Moodle seem to be well-liked, Blackboard is in the middle, D2L Brightspace sucks. At least, that seems to be the general consensus. [1] Other questions might revolve around whether your school actually keeps their solution up to date. I think that this is possibly important enough to be a deal breaker if your school's LMS solution sucks.

- If you are at all good with computers, do asynchronous classes online. Don't mess with in-person learning or virtual time scheduled lectures unless you're trying to do a prestigious program or something involving laboratory work. Online is going to be cheaper and the whole "fall asleep during lectures" model of learning sucks. You're probably still working so you want flexibility on your time.

- Closely inspect your prospective programs' curriculum. How many options do they have for electives and specializations? What are the course schedules like?

- Consider whether you actually want/need school for anything. My employer won't notice or care that I am getting my master's degree, and I'm going to guess yours won't, either. It's for my own knowledge and personal enjoyment.

- Obviously don't mess with unaccredited/poorly accredited programs and for-profit schools. For online schools I mostly considered long-established state schools that had a good history of running online programs. Other than that, I didn't really consider ranking or prestige.

- School is very easy for adults. It's all about showing up and putting in effort. I got terrible grades in undergraduate with all the distractions of young adulthood, the masters has been comparatively easy.

- !!! Very Important !!!: Along with the above, do you actually need or want school in the form of a full degree program? It's a commitment once you get into it and it's usually expensive. Lots of ways to learn these days.

They could have used the SIL Open Font License instead. People in the open source world are often already familiar with it, and resources like tl;dr Legal are available for it.

Their EULA is, in fact almost exactly the SIL Open Font License, but someone decided minor changes in wording were more valuable than standardization.

A lot of my friends and colleagues don't work on AI but are really interested in the field, and I'm frequently asked "What is AI? / Can you send me some links to good examples?" These are awesome questions, but I found myself doing this a handful of times and decided to make a page to host it all in one place so they (and anyone else on the internet) could have easier access to this info. I'd love to hear from some people that are not practicing AI about whether or not they find the page helpful!

I find it funny that people think mirroring the DOM will magically make your web app performant. I've visited plenty of React sites that are sluggish, bloated, load slowly and a pain to use.

Reminds me of the parking at my local lake were you now have to read a 60 page EULA, a 30 page data "protection" agreement and install an app which requires way too many permissions. I happily paid the quite reasonable parking fee in the past when there still was a human person collecting the money. She was very friendly and always had an interesting story to tell, but now she's out of her job. Anyway, the surveillance cameras have been vandalized and parking is free now.
I mean, the argument isn’t that she’s worshipped. It’s that the position is seen fondly as a traditional family who represent the nation.

Let’s extend your argument to the extreme, by your logic if you got into the tech industry simply because you were born into the top ten percent cohort of the world, why should you be allowed to have the opportunity that most of the world didn’t?

A rational individual such as yourself should see that you won the statistical lottery. Why should you have that opportunity because of your birth?

For whatever historical reason that nation follows a familial structure of inheritance, call it genes, call it whatever, it is what it is. You don’t need to understand the structure or even agree with it to respect the fact that a lot of people live in that structure and have done so for centuries.

The main advantage is that a Stellerator can be continuously operated while a Tokamak only works in pulsed operation.

The complex design of a Stellerator's magnectic coils essentially avoid the need for a transformer as it is being used in a Tokamak. The transformer is the reason why a Tokamak can only be operated in pulsed mode. However, there is ongoing research to achieve continuous operations e.g. by means of high-frequency waves.

Levels are a great abstraction for debug logs. Debug logs are often abused for much more than their reasonable purpose.

Audit logs are different from debug logs, and it's pretty common for people to not think about the reasons why. Audit logs are records, and they don't have levels; they might have metadata, but you need to capture all of them, reliably. Debug logs are ephemeral and if you miss some of them you shouldn't care.

The problem with structured logging libraries is that they try to do both. There's some in common, but the mechanisms of output should be really different - Debug logs in a circular buffer in RAM makes a lot of sense, but you can't do that for Audit logs. The current approach seems to be "Write them all to the same place, then filter them out", and that only adds more latency in which to lose your audit logs.
Orgs place a lot of value on control. A TXT, even if better, would be a hard sell. Especially in a 501(c), where optics matter and they are targeting a demographic that usually prefers PDFs.

I found it helpful to break the pattern of struggle and accept that thoughts are random, or at least consistently erratic, and not a to be taken too seriously. Once you stop trying to control your thoughts and learn to refocus on things you value you paradoxically gain some control back over them, since you start treating them like chatter on a radio and not 'you'. Its the automatic reactions to things that have to be intercepted at the stem, and while you can certainly imrove things I think seperating the sense of self from the self-talk gives you more patience. From that perspective putting a positive spin on thoughts is totally an option, but if and when it does not succceed or result in permanent changs, you have plan B (let it be, let it go, its just a thought, whats next on the agenda).
Domains like .tk will be pushed down in Google results, you will have issues when you will try to send mails from such domain, etc. If something is free and attractive it's usually abused.

If you don't care about such things and you can easily move to another domain without any issues (people still accessing old domain, maybe finding a scammy website after domain is being taken from you, your mails no longer being delivered to you) then go for it.

The alternative: take the red pill, try to see the world as it really is, and resist the cult of positive thinking. We are all flawed, some of us more than the others. That's a reality we ought to accept, hopefully with stoic grace. Positivism [1] above positivity.

I don't see how one storey on wheels is going to solve anything. The main cost is the land, a decent mobile home will not cost much less than a house of the same size. Once everybody are going to roam around in their mobile house the cost of parking land and infrastructure will be exactly the same but with added strain on the roads and cost of fuel to move those houses around. Not to mention the psychological cost of being a nomad with no roots and no community, especially with children. In addition not every country has so many empty spaces like the US, in many countries even a single storey home is something only rich people can afford and most people live in apartment buildings, like in NY city.
Why not just build high buildings with various sizes of apartments, not too many limiting zoning laws and good public transportation like they do in Tokyo for example? This is already a proven way to solve those issues.

Sure, it is cheaper than paper art.

Firstly, if you're set on digital, I recommend Huion as a good, reasonably priced brand for digital tablets. Check out the reviews on youtube. Wacom continue to charge boutique prices for their products after over a decade and I think these are unacceptable for new starters and overpriced compared to competitors. I bought an H610 on sale many years ago and I would vouch for the brand. You won't be missing out on things like sensitivity levels. I think that a good normal-sized Huion tablet is priced such that you won't feel bad if you decide not to pursue the hobby, which is important, I think.

Next you need some software. A lot of people swore by Paint Tool Sai in my day but I think this comes down to your budget and preference. Maybe watch some reviews to get a feel for what is possible.

I would recommend checking for free resources and guidance available for learning to draw on reddit or similar, next. I'm certain they have lists of handy courses and books to consider.
Even changing the kernel can often be done without rebooting the system depending on which distro you're using. Quite a few distros now include some sort of kernel livepatching service including Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, and RHEL.

Low-level and system programming are the areas most hurting for better languages.

High level has several modern scripting languages (Python, Ruby, Javascript), and typed languages (Java, C#, Kotlin). Low-level programming has had C and C++ for 30+ years, and both have major problems that need fixing. Plus, there's lots of interest in having programs run much much faster, especially as people realize that every line of Python they write could be 10x faster in a lower level language, with minimal extra work. This is why Rust, and now Odin, get so much attention.

Of course, there's also a renaissance brewing for mid-level languages, including Go, nim, and crystal.
Yeah, the conventions of nixpkgs are a much bigger obstacle than the language syntax. The language lacks static typing. Also, it is a common convention to create attribute sets crafted for logic that has indirect hard-to-follow links to module where the set is defined. This makes it hard to develop tooling like linters or LSP implementations.
Someone might have then asked “what Afghan cities?”
