Excerpts clarifying what is meant by "partial mobilization":

As I have said, we are talking about partial mobilisation. In other words, only military reservists, primarily those who served in the armed forces and have specific military occupational specialties and corresponding experience, will be called up.

Additionally, the Executive Order on partial mobilisation also stipulates additional measures for the fulfilment of the state defence order. The heads of defence industry enterprises will be directly responsible for attaining the goals of increasing the production of weapons and military equipment and using additional production facilities for this purpose. At the same time, the Government must address without any delay all aspects of material, resource and financial support for our defence enterprises.

> What's to be gained by starting a nuclear war with the entire world?

Less than a year ago, the question was: What's to be gained by invading Ukraine? Putin is not stupid to start a war with nothing to gain.
Shigu himself stated there are 25mil people eligible for the mobilization right now in ru. Thats pretty much everyone below 60.

Why? India is fighting China over a border conflict, no nukes used. Why would you think NATO securing Ukraine would end in a nuclear war? It's not as if either NATO or Russia is attacking on the others soil. Ukraine is neither NATO nor Russia, so there is no reason to claim it would be a direct conflict.
In such case i would open NATO armoury for Ukrainians and gift them all the shiny toys they are willing to take.

Something's deeply wrong over your neck of the woods mate. Keep your wits about you.
I have done that in the past. I just reached a point where honestly I felt like the hassle of using a hidden pocket all the time just wasn't worth it.

I generally have a nice hard case wheeled suitcase for my luggage, I bike cable that to something immovable and inside I tether the pacsafe to one of the rails where the suitcase handle runs.

It's enough peace of mind for me. 99% of casual theft isn't going to try and open the bag, if they do then they have to deal with the pacsafe.

If someone is absolutely determined then they'll get through all that of course, but as you say, you will know it's happened and the police are going to get involved. The number of thieves realistically willing to do that ain't going to be that high because the payoff of what might be in there is unknown.

I wonder what that scenario would bring the Russian army. Tactical nukes against military targets are not that much more effective than a bunch of conventional missiles. Nuking the population would be hard to justify in their narrative.

On the other side, I don't know who would intervene. The risk of further escalation might lead to the acceptance of nuclear genocide limited to Ukraine. And Ukrainian capitulation would be swift if Russia demonstrated they were willing to attack the population with nuclear bombs. The whole scenario is difficult to imagine. The last time civilians got nuked is 77 years ago. And the Japanese people had nobody who could have retaliated for them.

For me, it's been gradual(years), and I do not have everything under one roof.

First thing is moving the email. Buy a domain, buy a FastMail subscription and start using it. Migrate all the main accounts to this new email: gov accounts, main service providers and anyone that might have emailed me in the recent history. This takes a while, but in a week you should cover at least 70% of what you really care about. The rest, I just update as it goes, you can redirect your gmail to a specific FastMail folder and change the stuff as you go.

Calendar I use FastMail too.

Storage and photo took me a while to find as solution I was happy with, but I settled with OneDrive. There are lots of similar solutions, you have to find one that works best for you. For self-hosted Resilio worked very well, and I still use it for backup.

Docs I use LibreOffice in my OneDrive.

Russians refer to Ukraine as a territory in their language by using preposition "на" instead of "в". They don't respect sovereignty of Ukraine in their language.

"Ukraine" doesn't mean borderland, it's another Russian attitude with the aim to humiliate Ukrainian nation. You can also look at the map and see who is really a borderland of the civilized world.
California has regular issues too. They narrowly avoided rolling blackouts just a few weeks ago. They did briefly shut off power to some customers. And the governor had to beg people to turn up the thermostat.
Similar problem here (viewed on Android). Initially, a blank page until I turned on JavaScript and refreshed the page - then after some considerable delay the page eventually rendered OK.

(Normally, I view the web with JS off to speed up pages, stop ads and reduce the amount of spying and my usual reaction to sites that play these silly irritating games is to get off them ASAP. Turning on JS here was an exception as the title posed the article as being of more interest than most, which was in fact the case.)
It might not be MAD but there is a really strong incentive from everyone else to maintain the nuclear taboo. Russia can expect NATO to get directly involved in the conventional war as well as losing their remaining allies if they do that. Whether that leads to further escalation or not is up to them.

What I mean is that we need to use diplomacy to allow Russia a way to enter negotiations and stop the war while keeping a modicum of face. There is absolutely no chance Russia just leaves Ukraine on their own while saying "we have lost, we were bad and will now behave as you wish" so there would be little point insisting on that. If what we want is a come back to pre-invasion frontiers we need to give them a way to spin that as an acceptable outcome.

The alternative is escalation and that doesn’t seem to end well. It might be what the USA wants - they are unlikely to be the ones nuked after all but Europe would be bearing the most of it and that’s not something I wish.
> I'd say that noone is benefiting from WW3 apart from perhaps military industry.

What do you mean? If nuclear escalation happens and WW3 is triggered there is absolutely no world for the military industry to benefit from. Weapons will be required, of course, so production will continue but there would be no semblance of economy or governments as we know them now.

Nukes flying are world-ending, at least the human world and societies we currently experience. There's no profit to be made in total global mayhem.

Troops are almost irrelevant, Russia are running out of materiel. And I'm not convinced they have the power structure necessary to make a human wave approach work; this isn't 1940s USSR. Men will catch on that their guns also work on their own officers.

Not only that, an approach that doesn't have enough vehicles simply cannot work. They're limited to moving a few miles a day; how are they going to be supplied with food, let alone enough ammunition?
I just find it hard to believe that physical reality will let us do reliable computations with superpositions of 2^1024 states. I suspect that the theory of quantum physics is some excellent approximation of physical reality that will breakdown at such absurd levels of precision.

> Cosmo sticks to the APIs that are shared by UNIXes in general, e.g. gettimeofday(), rather than depending on Apple's own internal designs, e.g. Mach system calls.

Apple doesn't differentiate between "UNIX" and "Apple" when it comes to API; a particular API is either public with stability guarantees, or it is private and unstable.

> I don't believe Apple can rightfully claim APIs that aren't their own, as being their own implementation detail which they can change at will.

Apple absolutely does claim this, and if that means the library ABI has to change to accommodate a change, the dynamic linker and symbol tricks are leveraged to keep things working for code built against the earlier ABI.

If an engineer comes up with a really clever trick to make gettimeofday() just a tiny bit faster, but this requires breaking syscall ABI, they will absolutely do that.

> I believe the risk of breakage with Cosmo on Apple should be minimal.

Using system-private interfaces on Apple platforms means there are no guarantees here. You'll be OK, sometimes, for some releases. It mostly worked for Go, for a while.
A few months ago analysts were warning of impending collapse of Russia's troops due to poor supplies and poor morale. Russian cheerleaders on HN were doubting it as Western propaganda saying it had been declared for months and not materialized. Well it materialized in the collapse of the Kharkiv front over a week so there's that.

In all, I don't think the mobilization is likely to matter. The Russian problem is bad supplies, bad comms, and bad morale. When the russian front in kharkiv collapsed and everyone fled, there were many units just wandering around, and even setting up defensive lines because they didn't know the rest of the force had been routed and that the enemy was already behind them. Forcing people to the front isn't going to change this. Russian strategy has been repeating idiotic assaults on bakhmut for 2 months with no gains while just trying to hold on elsewhere. Ukraine on the other hand has been maintaining a decent momentum from their offensive, taking Lyman, and on the verge of looking to retake Lysychansk and maybe Severodonetsk again. Progress will be relatively slow, but it's not crazy to imagine another wave of collapse.

It'll take a long time to get a working army together. I'd bet on Ukraine and western support every day. The only thing that could change the calculus is nuclear weapons.
Just like we're in a bubble that says "haha Russia is losing, so naive", they're in a bubble that says "haha Russia is greatest army, winning everywhere where those dirty Americans aren't cheating. Ukraine is shelling its own villages for PR".

Edit: except their bubble seems a lot harder.

It's not clear that they can "flatten" significant areas, they've already shown signs of being constrained by supply of ammunition. Especially since the US satellites can point out where the ammunition dumps are and the Ukranians can blow them up.
In general these seem like topics that will age poorly, eg. the audacity/gimp/inkscape guides. What if they redesign the UI like Blender did?
> Would you rather be a slave with all your relatives in a deathcamp or fight the occupier to death?

That's not the real question at hand. There are no deathcamps or slavery IRL and everyone who is not exulted by propaganda and actually has to care for their own skin understands that.

> There is plenty of bloody evidence from Russian conflicts since 1990.

Like what?

I don't understand how people can think there will be less violence imposed on Ukrainians if they are supported by a certain someone with actually plenty of bloody evidence of staging, escalating and participating in wars all over the world.
Automation counselor: Someone who diagnoses and (hopefully) helps repair life difficulties and infelicities brought on by conflicting goals of automatic devices.

See "Dark Star" where they had to worry about the psychology of their ammunition. We're gonna have people Who cannot physically open devices to repair them (no serviceable parts inside), but will talk to them, offer them understanding, and make them work better through communication.

We had these folks before but the incentives were still aligned for helping the user of the devices; the next generation will be paid by the device manufacturers and owners. Like going to the phone store to find out why your phone will no longer call Aunt Becky.
> At least here we can point fingers and hold politicians accountable if they try to influence things the wrong way. We can't do that with US companies.

Germany is currently governed by a chancellor who has in fact been convicted of lying, has selective memory lapses as a co-responsible party in one of the biggest banking scandals, and was also instrumental in the political decisions to push ahead with dependence on Russian gas.

So sorry if I doubt that politicians can be made accountable for anything.

That's just plain incorrect:

No, L5 can coexist with manual driving. It's just that the societal (as opposed to individual) benefits mostly kick in at 100%.

But also you can just say some streets are for FSD only. Some neighbourhoods.

Similar things are already rolling out as a soft barrier for the worst polluting cars. E.g. London's ULEZ. And other places ban studded tires, sometimes by individual streets.

You could argue "but I want to be able to actually stop on ice patches, so I want studded tires". And the answer is "fine, but then you can't drive your car on these specific areas". And likely the areas will expand.

It's like "sometimes I want to roar with my obnoxious harley". Hopefully in the future the answer is "that's fine, but if you do that in a city we'll throw you in jail… and then fire you from a canon into the sun", because it's not your freedom to wake up 50'000 people just to have some fun.
> Are there important innovations in Linux and its APIs from the last 12 years that would be interesting to learn, and how ?

Off the top of my mind, systemd, released 12 years ago.
I think I see where you come from. And for libraries and even frameworks I would agree.

But typescripts advanced features are more like advanced SQL. Sure, you'll learn some chunk specific to your database, but the majority will be transferable. And just like SQL it won't become outdated knowledge in the next decades most likely.

So I still think it will be worth. If not for the company then at least for yourself. :)
> We had fantastic experience with humiliated nations before. It worked so well for Germany after WW1 /s

The mistake was corrected after WWII by splitting the country into occupation zones. That is the only way to deal with Russia too. Pushing out of Ukraine isn't enough. Russia has to be demilitarized, most importantly - denuclearized, it should lose its place in UN Security Council. It also should be denazified - the current fascist regime must be totally dismantled, and the country must be split to avoid such regime coming back again.

>Putin came to power because the West didnt help the former Soviet republics.

Putin came to power because the "system", ie. KGB in particular wasn't dismantled, and because the further splitting up of the country was prevented. Whole world, including US, was afraid of appearance of several new smaller states, instead of just one big Russia, possessing nukes. Now, one can expect everybody learnt from that mistake made 30 years ago - this time the nukes need to be taken away completely and the country split.

> the end of this war must be positive for the Russian people

No. Only crushing humiliating defeat with the split of the country can reach into Russian brain and cure it from the "Great Russia chauvinism". Without such a process of cure, the monster will soon be back.
Or we can acknowledge that and aim at restraint, stopping ourselves whenever we catch ourselves doing it, recognising that it's a bug in our software. I've spent most of my life reading philosophy. I've been clean for several years and I'm glad (it's no small feat for me). I recognise now that it was nothing but a bug in my mind. To younger people, I'd advise to focus on the actual mathematics and science, because that's where true knowledge lies.

Solution to talking nonsense is not talking better nonsense, but recognising that one speaks nonsense and should better be silent.

Obviously they don't. Clourdflare's markets itself as a super easy set-it-and-forget-it solution. The problem is that it isn't. The defaults are broken and it requires careful configuration and monitoring. Of course this isn't good marketing so the only way a user can know is posts like these or to accidently block their users and hear the reports. (Obviously Cloudflare's UI will only tell you how evil bots it blocked were.)
"One reason democracy is hard is that people are very motivated to game your system. That makes being transparent about how it works a fool's errand."

That's a major fallacy you're opening with. If something is important to us (as a society), we will find ways to make it serve us well even when it's under attack.

So why not socialize it?
Alternative libc implementations just aren't a thing outside of Linux.

However, if, for some reason, you really want to re-implement libc, you still can, but your library will have to link against the system-provided libc for the syscall entry points, because that's the only stable interface to the kernel.

There's no reason that should be a problem for a hypothetical libc-reimplementor.
That's beauty of being sociopathic dictator - you don't need to care about reality of those pesky humans that are under you, you can massage your massive ego with grand plans matching it.

If skilled intelligent people leave? Good, more loyal and easy to manipulate remain. People are dying in wars? Who cares if something is reached, like protecting motherland from made up boogeymen.

Russian psyche relishes in suffering and misery and drinking into oblivion in vain attempt to forget about it. The worse it gets the more to blame that evil west for. This can be truly endless cycle that you can't break from outside.

Really, this clash of civilizations is coming at a seemingly good time, while Russia is obviously weak. Obviously better would be to have no conflict at all, but that's not what Russia can offer to rest of the world, only arrogance, suffering, and primitive disfunctionality of its system. Since nobody willingly wants it, clash is inevitable.
