Your comment is pushing Russian lies about the 2014 revolution in Ukraine and the only one bringing apocalypse closer is Russia.

As a European with many Polish and Ukrainian friends and coworkers I'm happy that libertarian isolationist Americans only have a say on Hacker News and r/Conspiracy. The world would be a worse place if American libertarians had a say in foreign policy.
I wonder if anyone has asked Access (https://www.access-company.com/) about the BeOS source? I hardly think they care about it now.
> This is the eternal paradox of being anti-war: if you are advocating peace in a polarized situation you are essentially aiding and abetting the enemy.

There is no such paradox. True patriots simply do not want their beloved countries to bloody their hands with the murder of foreign people. Not to mention with the total annihilation of the entire human race.

Of course those who are opposed to the war should protest. "People in charge" don't just come to their senses. Democratic societies especially have mechanisms in place to ensure that there's no need to wait for anyone to come to their senses. If elected leaders are abusing their power to murder and destroy, those elected leaders can be replaced, legally and democratically and without much fuss. That there is fuss is only the result of those people clinging to power and not wanting to let go. But the rest of us should fight to take power away from their hands. We should not let mad, bloodthirsty assholes keep power.

If you don't want your country to go to war, if you don't want your country to bomb foreign people, if you don't want your country to use its "nuclear deterrent" to start, or compound, a nuclear holocaust, then protest. Protest as if it was a very important thing, because it is a very damned important thing.

And btw, this applies to Russians also. You're forgetting, in your "paradox", that a Russian anti-war movement exists and that its people protest and don't give a dime about "paradoxes". And they're not even citizens of a democratic country that makes special space for such protests in its legislation. They're persecuted and beaten up and put into jail. But they protest because there is no other way.
I was unsure of Typescript at first, but it has become an absolute joy and absolute pleasure to develop in.

I was reluctant to introduce a build step (having got used to the simple refresh cycle of a browser plus vanilla javascript) but I am pleased to say that this is a bit of a non-issue now with modern tooling like esbuild et al.

I still avoid NPM like the absolute plague, but the good news is that tooling like Deno have made typescript first server-side development in the ECMAScript world a total joy.

I've said it before - it's like floating through the air. So serene, so expressive. A true joy.
US gun death statistics suggest otherwise.
I have no idea what your point is here. Which, I guess, proves mine.
You don’t and that restriction is toothless.
Yep, that's exactly what it is. I can vouch that it really works. Pricing is $3 to run a fine tune, and then generations are "currently" free and unlimited.

I dig it, because I couldn't be bothered to run a colab notebook, but it is super-fun to play with.
The real problem is that datetime.datetime.now() returns a naïve datetime.

If only it returned something that contained the UTC offset in which is was created, then all of this would be much easier to deal with. Conversions to timestamps would just work, and comparisons would just work.

Note that I said "UTC offset", not "timezone". datetime doesn't deal in UTC offsets, it deals in timezones. And timezones are a zillion times more complicated, which is why no one want to deal with them on the critical path, and no one has ever proposed having now() return an object with .tzinfo set. Logical though it may be.
At least it doesn't suck as much as Bugzilla.

Apparently you can only get "loads fast" or "is usable" and not both. But when in doubt, I'll choose usable.
>It really doesn't make much sense to lookup Putin's speeches...

It does if you're arguing not about whether what he said was true or not, but whether he eactually said what you're accusing him of saying.

>as soon as he's opening his mouth, a lie comes out.

So, just a regular politician, then.

But wait! --It's like one of those logic puzzles then. So, if everything he says is a lie and he says he's goiung to use nuclear weapons... then that means he's NOT going to use nuclear weapons.

Your device might be distinguished from other devices based on information it automatically sends, such as IP address or browser type."
Can you write a one liner to give me the timestamp for start or end of current week, or month? How about a text representation of a difference between two dates? Relative date string (eg. “2 weeks ago”)? Date comparison between two dates that are in different time zones? Does your date calculations take leap hours and leap seconds into account? Date libraries make all these and many more operations a breeze, while rolling these on your own can be tricky, error prone and you’ll be just wasting your time.

A large part of the peace movement in e.g. West Germany in the 1980s was "anti-American" but not "pro-Soviet-Union".

Not everything is a binary choice, and it gets tiresome to prefix every Internet comment with a whole paragraph of disclaimers.

The "anti-war" crowd questions the Western provocations and meddling since the orange revolutions by Nuland etc. It questions the erasure of history since at least 1995.

Mearsheimer, a West Point graduate, is certainly not a Putin supporter. Yet he is depicted as one by large parts of the Internet mob, who always have the correct flag selections in their Twitter "biographies".
An open source Gmail plugin that catches emails from unknown senders

Giving up to the nuclear blackmail of genocidal terrorists may lower a nuclear threat in the immediate future, but raises the nuclear threat 1000 times more in the distant future.

Though, it seems it's completely OK for people who live the current day like Trump.
This is about patterns though, not single events. The point isn’t just that Scotland is snow-free with record-breaking heat this year, but that it has been increasingly snow-free and hotter in recent times. Has NZ been getting colder at the same time rest of the world is heating up, or did they just have one colder winter than normal?
What I find shocking about this, as with many other examples from Meta, Alphabet, Amazon etc. is that many of the complaints are things that small companies justify as "yes, but small team". In other words, our 3 developers don't have the time to refactor this API heavy interface because we are struggling with company growth.

When you have the size and money of Atlassian, that excuse is pathetic. Yeah we have 3000 Developers (or whatever) and we don't have the resources to do good UI design, refactoring away from poor performance etc. I always thought that these companies were the ones who invented "how to do good web apps", but it seems like function over everything and even the functionality is poorly implemented in some cases.

How can anyone think that a simple app that downloads 24MB over 900 connections is OK. What the heck?
> "Russia turned off the taps"... Europe decided to shoot itself in the foot by refusing to buy Russian gas, beforehand.

Russia has indeed 'turned off the taps' (at least Nord Stream 1). At first the excuse was maintenance work, but when that excuse didn't work any longer they first reduced and then stopped the gas flow completely.

> I haven’t seen any direct threats against Biden

You're not looking hard enough.

Also, see the filth spewed out about any woman who is a minority Democrat congress member.

> anti-Biden people had to adopt that Brandon slogan thing

They chose to adopt it, your belief that they "had" to is not in alignment with the facts.

Given the obvious lineage of "Let's Go Brandon", if your assertion that they chose it to avoid being moderated/banned/imprisoned was true, then why isn't that happening when they mention Brandon? Because we all know what that means. Twitter knows, FB knows, the FBI knows.

Stating that this was forced upon them to avoid some mythical persecution carries the implicit assumption that everyone is an idiot who has no idea what they mean, the logic is severely flawed.

What I really enjoy about the whole Brandon thing is that their "clever" in-phrase has been co-opted and suborned by young Biden supporters, check out /r/DarkBrandon.

Decentralized is nice, but Distributed is better.
Yep, I paused at that also. Quite hypocritical of them to state they are "legally required" when the prompt they display isn't in compliance. The European Data Privacy Board (EDPB) has been very clear that the choice to opt out must be as easy as to opt in. Yes/No, not Yes/More Info.

But due to lax enforcement companies just keep ignoring this. Luckily it's (very) slowly changing. Even Google was recently forced to amend their practices but it took a fine of 150 million, and probably a threat of a lot more for them to finally do it. https://www.cnil.fr/en/cookies-google-fined-150-million-euro...

If anyone is interested, NOYB is doing good work to make sure companies are aware that they are breaching the GDPR, which is also very useful when it finally comes to enforcing it as they can't pretend they didn't know. If you like their work you can become a member to support them.

As a person who eats all the candy in the house, I am very good at following rules also. E.g. “don’t buy candy” or “don’t eat someone else’s candy”.

Maybe “only eat dispensed candy” isn’t a good rule to follow in itself, but I do wonder if the dopamine release associated with triggering the release of candy counts for more than the candy itself. :-)

> it's either too late or we lack the ability to control the climate

It's never too late to stop making things worse. And if we don't change our emissions it's going to get much worse.
Here are things I would like to have in an AR/VR environment.

1. More monitors. I can only fit 2, maybe 3 monitors on my desk. If I could easily reposition 5 or 6 virtual monitors that would be great.

2. Whiteboarding. I like to draw things when I have some discussions. Doing that in VR is a pretty decent workflow.

If I could start a Slack 'huddle' with someone and instantly be able to start drawing or have us both interacting with the virtual monitors, I think that'd be enough for me to justify paying.

The tech still has to go further. For multiple monitors you'd really want to offload rendering and I think that current VR goggles are still just too heavy, they need to get cut down to maybe 20% of their current weight, at which point I think they would be comfortable enough to wear for a large portion of a workday.

The benefit of AR would be that I can seamlessly switch between "real life" workflows and "virtual" workflows. For example, I want to get up and grab some water, but I can take one of my virtual desktops along with me so that I can keep watching a conference talk or whatever.
Indeed, hence "on compliant websites". I wish the EU's enforcement wasn't so lacklustre. Would be interesting if they hired 2-3 reverse engineers and had them go down Alexa top 10k and verify that consent banners are implemented correctly, handing out fines if not. One can dream I guess.

Fundamentally, the problem with the GDPR isn't that the law is problematic, it's the lack of enforcement, this is the true cause of the consent banner proliferation.
I think this article is equally critical of both companies. Which is quite remarkable given the narrative that was popular a few years ago. We've gone from an obvious winner to a dead heat. Goes to show: if you've got perfect competition, just wait a while...
Actually it's sticking with backwards compatibility that is causing most of the problems.

It's not hard to come up with an improved library design. But it is extremely hard to improve it while remaining compatible with the billions of lines of Python code out there.
At the time, the turning point that finally made me switch from Flow to TS was when it added the JSdoc mode that allows you to have VSCode intellisense without a compile step.

They're referring to the overthrow of the elected government in 2014. That government was relatively friendly towards Russia. The US was involved[0] in the revolution/coup (whatever you want to call it, though a lot of people in eastern Ukraine considered it a "coup"), and the Russian government saw it as an attempt to bring Ukraine into the orbit of the United States.

Whatever you think of Yanukovych and the people who followed him, the US getting so heavily involved in a country right on Russia's doorstep was a very risky move. There have been warnings from several prominent American foreign policy analysts about how this sort of action would prompt an extreme reaction from Russia. George Kennan, the father of the US' Cold War containment strategy, was extremely prescient, all the way back in 1998:

> "Of course there is going to be a bad reaction from Russia, and then [the NATO expanders] will say that we always told you that is how the Russians are - but this is just wrong. [...] This has been my life, and it pains me to see it so screwed up in the end."[1]

If both Russia and the US continue to push maximalist positions, this conflict will just escalate and escalate, and nobody can say where it will end.

Linear is gorgeous and satisfying to use, very aesthetically pleasing.

It includes Jiras killer feature, links between issues, across projects.

But...

It can't sync issues with github, it must fully be the source of truth for everything. This made it a non starter for us, we tried but it just can't work when not every piece of work by everyone is in linear. Even Jira allows sync.

It also didn't allow enough detail. For lightweight task management it was great, but when you have big discussions it was weak.

Github is great, but is missing issue links and better lightweight planning like tasks lists that auto update when linked issues update.

They could just do the Venezuela approach, that seemed to work pretty well.
I tried jsdoc + JavaScript for a while to minimise the distance between me and the browser, but in the end TypeScript was just the easier choice. Less documentation to type, and the checks are better. I found that using TypeScript basically like JavaScript + jsdoc delivers the best value. I avoid any advanced TypeScript features as TypeScript is just not a proper statically typed language.

There has been numerous improvements over the years since I took interest in CSP in 2010, from solar field (arrays), concentrator, ms storage and over all increasing knowledge around the world of plant operations. The only area I haven't seen any improvements in is the salt composition. Everyone is still pretty much using typical NaNO2 + NaNO3 + KNO3 mixture in the field (which is very disappointing, but I'm glad that at least everyone sans US is on board with serious build out)
Actually they try very hard to dodge the laws of the countries they're operating in. In India they've been playing all kinds of games to avoid following the law.

There was a particularly farcical argument used by them, which was on the lines of "our policies are better than your law."

They only complied when their employees faced arrest and other legal actions.

I don't get the impression that their senior management are grounded in reality. My popcorn is getting cold waiting for Twitter's muskification.

"Scotland is now far more populated and has more resources than it did in the 1700s"

I suspect the wilder parts of Scotland are actually far less populated than they used to be - the original populations of many areas being systematically removed by landowners in favour of sheep or deer:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Clearances

Edit: Of course, as well as the clearances there is the fact that lots of remote spots just aren't sustainable as they used to be. Working out how to keep viable populations in remoter areas is something Scotland struggles with to this day.
