As I understand it it's a huge mixture of many things. From military aid, to financial aid for various pre-defined purposes, both lending and pro bono. Ukraine is also buying equipment in normal ways (likely from borrowed money, or from miltary financial aid).

Some countries seem happy to send equipment hoping that the fight will stay as close to Russia's borders as possible. My country was one of the first to send heavy equipment like tanks to Ukraine, and from all I've read it seems to be for free. Regular people are donating money to Ukr foreign ministry that Ukraine uses to buy military equipment.

If you look at history, US had lend-lease with USSR and Soviets/Russia paid up only part of it over 65 years or so, and a lot of it was written off. So it may take long time to recover the cost, or it may be impossible if Ukraine loses.

Agreed, I found that writing also chose to use quite manipulative, or even emotional language to subtly get the lean towards the author's way.
Which is completely fine if the book were presented as "Here's just my opinion on what may have happened", rather than presenting it as "Scientific history of mankind" - this aspect is what bothered me the most.

But we suppose the group who would fall for this kind of strategy is the exact audience the author was going for.

I also had the impression that they do not store some of the data verbatim but make a hopefully non-reversible fingerprint of it. But even so it's icky, and we have seen in the past that big players with all the money and IT expertise in the world got hacked and robbed. As it stands now, it's like a shootout.

Handing over very personal and valuable data in exchange for a promise, then hoping for the best and keeping fingers crossed is all of my part in this.
> I don’t think any NATO nation will send much in the way of tanks. Tanks are a giant target on a modern battlefield. As superior as the latest Abrams might be to most other tanks, anti-tank weaponry is far better and fairly cheap these days.

Latest Ukrainian offensive disproves your notion. Maneuver warfare still works and can be employed by capable troops. And this was with done with relative parity of equipment - situation would look way different if Ukraine had order of magnitude better western tanks.

Thank-you for the replies. I'll shelve this for a few more years.
The fundamental problem is not that distribution maintainers do not leverage containers, but rather we do not understand dependency models/trees of our programs.

Containers are golden images. You find combination of stuff that works, carefully package them together and ship this whole package. Gold images run on bare metal, containers run on container runtime enabled kernel.

Sure, containerizing an application is /easier/ than working out the dependency trees and solving dependency conflicts between them. It is by no means fundamentally better approach.

If anything, this argument dismisses most work done by distros - building and solving those dependency trees. Maintainers of free OSes sometimes do not bother to solve all possible conflicts, however instead of breaking the system/packages, they do inform you of possible conflicts that are not solved.

Inability to cherry-pick dependencies is deceptively wrong. Traditional distributions resort to use of so called meta-packages and alternatives to keep the system up to date. Deb/rpm packages are simple archives with additional metadata slapped on. The packaging system is transparent to contents: nothing forbids you to package versions 1.0 and 2.0 and have them happily coexist as long as they do not share common paths. In fact, a lot of packages are distributed in exactly the same way.

It seems that the author has a solution - containers - and tries to find a problem for said solution.
> A program with a million features is going to have a hundred known bugs at any point. Getting ten fixed every week is better than getting 100 fixed 3 months from now

Ideally.

In real world though it's more like fix 10, introduce 5 more. So modern software is always in constant beta.

I'd rather have them release every 3 months with proper QA process in place so it'd be fix 100, introduce 20 new or something.
It’s interesting how my appreciation of the “minor” Miyazaki movies grew with times.

I genuinely believe both Spirited Away and Momonoke Hope are better films from a critical standpoint but Kiki’s Delivery Service, Porco Rosso and The Castle of Cagliostro are the ones I have rewatched the most.

Miyazaki really is a master of the adventure genre. All his movies are incredibly tight when it comes to the pacing and I think lighter plots allow this to really shine and make for incredibly breezy movies.

It can probably be modelled as a classic monopoly in many respects.

Microsoft can drop its price in the short term to just below where switching makes sense and delay Linux, except for the oddballs but eventually the better fundamentals can break through.

Along the way, a boatload of cash can be used to incentivise specific decision points, whenever a weak point is in danger.

Like the old cliche of large government entities announcing they were going to switch to Linux to get a discount from Microsoft.
When SimCity was an unplayable mess that basically couldn't deliver on most of the features for weeks after launch, I emailed EA, said it didn't match the quality or features they advertised. Within 2-3 days I had a refund.

This was years before Valve would issue refunds even for other similarly broken titles.

I requested refunds from them before they got sued by the ACCC, got told to take it up with the game developer. Contact the game developer who told me to take it up with Valve.

Afterwards they just tell me I played too many hours (ironically because I was trying to repro the issue on a few maps to demonstrate it wasn't me/my computer/etc that was shit)
> completely irrelevant to the scholars' interpretation which may have been correct in its own way

It wasn't correct in the larger context. Which is why this line is important: "Sri Madhva accepted their meaning & added that the Vedas carried three meaning & the Mahabharata had ten & each word of Vishnu Sahasranama a hundred meanings (verse 4)."

As their meaning contradicted his meaning they questioned him as to how his meaning is right. Madhva instead says that he accepts the meaning they provided too (only in that context) but in the larger context it fails as the Vedas carry 3 meanings, Mahabharata 10 and each word of Vishnu Sahashranama a 100 meanings.

For example, if I am using binoculars to focus on the eye of a bird and call that only an eye and argue that it is not anything else, I am being myopic. Yes it is an "eye" but the larger context is more important: it is "eye" of what? A bird.

In this situation, Madhva tells them that though their meaning is correct (it is an "eye"), they are interpreting that particular verse in a wrong manner when it comes to the larger context (that they have completely ignored the bird in the process). Then he goes on to say that, because of that reason alone, the meaning they provided does not fit the larger context (though in isolation their meaning is correct).

Why the larger context is important? Because, of the preceding line: "Though the scholars admired his scholarship at heart, outwardly they said that it meant something else & gave their own meaning (Verse 3)".

So the question here is not about whether the verse interpretation by itself was right/wrong (which Madhva himself accepts it is right) but that interpretation did not fit the larger context (and hence it becomes wrong). It is more intricate than just straightforward interpretation. That is all that is being conveyed here.
Seems like it might depend. I might be able to pick up dinner on my way home but delivery might need a whole round trip. In some cases delivery might be able to make a few deliveries in one trip but I'm not sure if that's done in general for things like Uber eats.

After much frustration using Teams, I realised that the majority of my colleagues didn't care or even noticed all the small and not so small things that don't work. So, I accepted the sad reality that in a typical office environment, disinterest is the best ally of software companies.

Having said that, in the last year or so I noticed Teams is more stable and provides a better user experience. Or, perhaps, it's just me being succesful at lowering my original expectations.

Where do you conclude “stay at home” and “don’t do anything” from?
The US that you see when you’re blindingly rich is different than the one you see when you’re employed full time with a good salary. Both are different than the one when you’re struggling and lack full time employment. And all three are different than the one where you’re poor and disadvantaged.

Due to the lesser social benefits (such as health care tied to employment), the social distinctions are larger in the US than it’s western counterparts. Great place to make a pile, but weaker on looking out for others.
That's laughably wrong, and I'm not an offended Belgian just to be clear
totally agree. I hate gangster and mafia movies because I think even great director like scorcese fall into the easy of a boy liking bad guys and most of those movies even the famous ones are really dumb. there are two exceptions to this. The Godfather that is probably one of the greatest movie about a family ever shot and carlito's way, that is just a very naive and beautiful movie about love and redemption

> I personally really disliked the wind rises - it seems apologetic to the role of an engineer in creating a machine used to kill people,

I think that might have a lot to do with his father.

"His father, Katsuji Miyazaki (born 1915),[2] was the director of Miyazaki Airplane, his brother's company,[4] which manufactured rudders for fighter planes during World War II.[5]" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayao_Miyazaki)

He hates war, but his own father played a role in it. I imagine that a person would have to come to terms with that somehow. He also really does think military airplanes are beautiful so there's that too.
For what it’s worth, I’m in the same boat as you.

I have different thoughts in different use cases (for example, I have servers farms and other specific systems where I more strictly batch updates and value a slower cadence), but for my desktop, my mobile devices, and essentially all of my personal systems, I want constant rolling forward progress.
I can also offer one: "I have a conflict at ${standup time} and will not be able to attend"
My thoughts as well. Poisoning the air you breathe seems like an obviously terrible idea.

You can quickly experience it yourself by holding an ice cube in each hand but pouring salt on one of them. While both cubes contain approximately the same deficit of energy, the salted one with the lower equilibrium temperature will pull heat out of your hand much faster and feel much colder. I guess you could always put it in two cups too.
How are you getting the transcription of the NRK episode? I am learning Norwegian and often struggle to find reliable transcriptions for audio where the text exactly matches the audio (often subtitles are heavily edited compared to what's actually being said)
Things may trend back to normal and invest more in people who already know how to profit from their activities in addition to having a promising dream.

The difference in risk is orders of magnitude.

These investments can not have terms that are as one-sided as some have specialized in, plus it becomes less realistic for an entrepreneur who can properly leverage $10 million to be served by capitalists who have to borrow $10 million to do it.

The truly success-bound entrepreneur will have a much less limited upside by leveraging the $10 million from someone who is actually worth lots more than $10 million instead.

I expect the herd will be thinned considerably.

Kind of like the difference between somebody visiting Miami, renting a Lamborghini which is almost out-of-their reach, then being seen having their car parked at South Beach by a valet. As compared to a well-retired resident owning half-a-dozen European performance cars in their garage. They only drive one at at time anyway, just like everybody else.

> Finally, you have never and will never truly own a game. No, not even when they came as CDs. It was always just a limited license.

This is a common red herring - nobody means owning the actual IP for a game when they mention owning physical games. They mean having control over when, where and how a game is played.

Physical games give more control to the user, assuming DRM allowed that.

(and the real issue is having DRM or not, not being physical vs digital - for example my physical DVD copy of Bioshock has some stupid DRM limitation whereas my GOG copy is fully DRM-free, giving me more control than the physical one)
Here's some more:

- has some bizarre interaction with the volume slider: clicking it mutes just the teams call, but sliding the volume controls alters the volume level of the whole computer. Why?

- cuts off the sides of video, because it defaults to "fit video", so too bad to anyone sitting at the side of the camera, no way to change the setting, so you have to change it by. hand. for. every. video. feed. every. single. call.

- insists on continuing to send you notifications for that re-occuring marketing meeting you were in once, 6 months ago, but notifications for the link your teammates posted in the chat of the call you are currently in, are apparently not worthy of delivery.

- inexplicably defaults to using non-native notifications (on Mac OS), not sure why they felt the need to BYO awful notification system on an OS that has one built in, but it's awful.

Therefore I life my live as good as I can, idenpendently of immenent doom.

Furthermore, if there is one thing Corona has taught us, its how to life comfortably at home and improved efficiency to think of food as "food for a week" or even "food for a month", so yeah, if anything at all I stopped doing smaller trips to the supermarket and now go for bigger hauls.

Finally, I still do believe in the good of community and thus am sure, that within a short period of time, local communities will form. Sure Mad Max et al is a possible scenario, but I rather believe that humanity as whole will muster through.

This entire world we live in is based on mutual trust in people and therefore I am sure we can rebuild in any case. If we cant, no preparation in the world will suffice.
Great.

My coworker got hit by massive targeted identity theft which started with their SIM, provided by Optus. The attackers were able to successfully port my coworker’s Optus number and then hacked their Optus email which had everything in it. It took them months to undo the damage, and more trouble was always around the corner usually while they were sleeping or the service being hit didn’t have support staff online. Do Optus even have any security checks at all for preventing fraud?

Lessons: if the service doesn’t support MFA, don’t use it; don’t put all your service eggs in one basket; don’t assume that your phone number is safe, and act accordingly.

Optus needs to pay for this and I don’t just mean dollars. Comfortable people with responsibilities they didn’t failed to keep need to see gaol time, or at the very least lose their jobs and not be allowed to walk back into the revolving door for a long time. This is outrageous.

It seems wild for you to posit what users want as a sweeping generalization, have somebody say ~“that’s not what I want and here’s why”, and then just say full stop that their desires are wrong and don’t count anyway.

Maybe your sweeping generalization is just wrong. Users, developers, and distro maintainers are not uniform groups with rigid pre-determined opinions and desires.
