Even with a fictional maximum kilotons (max for nukemap) nuke dropped in Darwin (north Australia) with maximum wind force south wouldn't make the fallout reach the south.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor#Causes

regions with higher Ukrainian population shares were struck harder with centrally planned policies corresponding to famine, and Ukrainian populated areas were given lower amounts of tractors which were correlated to a reduction in famine mortality, ultimately concluding that 92% of famine deaths in Ukraine alone along with 77% of famine deaths in Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus combined can be explained by systematic bias against Ukrainians

[..]

Under the collectivism policy, for example, farmers were not only deprived of their properties but a large swath of these were also exiled in Siberia with no means of survival. Those who were left behind and attempted to escape the zones of famine were ordered to be shot.

It's also worth pointing out that your statement is "downplaying" the Holodomor. If applied to the Holocaust instead (e.g. "many died from typhus"), such a statement may be illegal in Canada:

Yes. The GDPR only mentions cookies once, as something that could contain user data, and the EPR is about _many_ things, including cookies. What to actually do with cookies, in terms of user experience and technical implementation is never explicitly mentioned so it is perceived as enough trouble for site owners to consider punting to those pesky banners.

FWIW, I don't remember ever explicitly setting a cookie or reading from it in the last 6-8 years or so and I don't think I am the only one. Third party integrations have been the only source of cookies in all the projects I have been involved with in that timespan: YouTube embeds and tracking, mostly.
How do you know they would lose a significant margin with Julia?
The banners should be part of a broader permissions management system in the browser. Any calls to the cookies constructor should be checked for permission
That's more true for West Germany than East Germany during the Cold War era though, East German industry was more centralized or at least in the process of being centralized after WW2. It actually looks like most targets in East Germany were military infrastructure (which is interesting on its own, because I would rather have assumed that the goal was to inflict maximum human casualties, e.g. same as Hiroshima and Nagasaki).

> This was posted here earlier this month, and while it's a cool invention and worthwhile endeavor, it must be noted that this is battery-free because it's powered by sound. The reporting is kind of disingenuous because only the transmission back to the surface is energy-efficient.

And it's also disingenuous because the battery is literally described in the article as well:

> Those sound waves could come from any source, like a passing ship or marine life. The camera stores harvested energy until it has built up enough to power the electronics that take photos and communicate data.

I guess what they meant to say is that it doesn't require manually recharging of the battery it has, or that it can recharge itself underwater.

Storing energy is quite literally what a battery is, and it has a device that does just that.

Such simulations usually consist of three major systems (atmosphere, land, and ocean) that are coupled together at their geometric boundaries by a coupler that 'communicates' values like temperature from one domain to another. The coupler is needed because of different grid geometries, time step size differences and other aspects.

You initialize the system at some known state (I.e. set the temperature, pressure, etc. at all grid points to real world measurements) and then integrate a complex differential equation for the next time step and so forth. So it is not like a automaton. Finite elements analysis comes closer, but I think they use a different scheme like finite volume methods.

A lot of insight can be gained by [this](https://pure.mpg.de/rest/items/item_3379183/component/file_3...) paper. The first 10 pages should give you a rough overview.

May I suggest a purely rational, evidence based take?

The trap is your belief in a linear relationship between effort and
outcome. Working harder and longer produces more productivity, right?

That's false.

As you say so yourself, your memory goes to shit. It's not just a law
of diminishing returns. For coders, past a certain point, exhaustion
leads you to start undoing your work. You are into negative
productivity.

I've pushed through all-nighters where I poured out a few thousand LOC
only to find the next day that I had broken everything and introduced
more bugs than I had time to fix. I just had to revert. An exhausted
hacker is worse than no hacker at all. You're a liability to yourself
and the project.

So, like driving when tired, realise that the urge to continue is
completely irrational, and probably based in the emotional drives of
fear or pride. It would be completely irrational for any manager to
want you to code in that state, and anyone who pushes you to is also
the idiot.
The grid is not squared, is hexagonal, surely it relates to that.

If you don't understand that the CCC is and has always been anti-fascist, you're way off the path, friend.

Edit: forgot to mention: any notion that Antifa is a state-organized thing is misguided at best and wrong and in bad faith at worst. It's just not true.

You might have some luck with OpenCV - it has a variety of edge detection features to turn an image into lines. Someone may have already pulled together a mechanism to turn that output into an SVG.

Making it plottable might be tricky without manual intervention or implementing your own plotting transformation.

3d printer slicing software transforms 3d models down to stacked layers of “plottable” lines, so you might have some luck looking at projects in that space, too.

> a state sponsored left wing terrorist organization

[citation needed]

I live next to a gathering point of leftist/antifa groups in Germany, and given the fact they are "state sponsered" they happen to get a lot of needlessly violent police response. I'd imagine a state which "sponsored" a group would protect them from the state's executive. Also the CCC publishes consistently statements that oppose the current German governments plans regarding internet and surveilance. What is the purpose of a state sponsoring a group that ridicules their badly thought out policies on a regular basis? If I were a state I would not sponsor people that constantly show my policies to be of farcially bad quality, but hey, maybe this makes sense in your world.

Next we could go for the term "terrorist organization". In Germany we have a Verfassungsschutzbericht ("Report of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution") which lists all the violent or terrorist acts on a yearly basis. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution is and has been known to be overyly critical of left wing organizations (so much for "state sponsored" antifa) while being blind to right wing violence like a literal murder series (NSU complex), also because the early officers working at that organization had Nazi roots. STILL the report of that organization shows that right wing terrorism is magnitudes more common and deadly than any left wing violence. So if Antifa is a terrorist group, they are not very good at terrorism, because they don't seem to have a lot of impact in the real physical world that anybody can measure. Leftist violence is mostly against property or rightwing opponents. Right wing violence is against intellectuals, writers, journalists, migrants, politicians and of course leftists. Or you know, maybe the whole terrorism label is a bit far fetched for what I perceived as a more or less disorganized mess of leftist splintergroups full of edgy teens.

So we have a wrong claim of state sponsorship and a wrong claim of "terrorism", which mean I would not be too confident in the third point you are making there.

The CCC certainly leans left. So what? A lot of educational elite groups in Central Europe do. That is quite normal. If you were to ask the CCC they'd probably argue that in the US hackers are surprisingly comfy to be that close to the intelligence community and the state (which is precisely what you accuse the CCC of by being "state sponsored").
Good to hear you are back on track. I can relate.

Hard workers will always think “But I can’t stop now!” , “Everything will go to shit if I stop working.” , and these kinds of thoughts like there is some force that keeps you from taking breaks.

Logical Fallacies – List of Logical Fallacies with Examples
I think it’s a bad translation, the actual Dutch word being used is “ongehoorzaamheid”, which means something like “not following the rules”.

I will say that it’s typically used in the context of raising children for example, but it’s definitely acceptable to use this word in Dutch in this context.
Stripe is extremely bad at fraud. I have a company that continues to charge my credit card monthly, their website and email do not work anymore. I continue to charge back them every single month, and Stripe continues to charge my card. This has been going on for about 7 months now. If I ask them to help, they tell me to contact AMEX, I contact AMEX they tell me to contact Stripe.

The website doesn't work, the email doesn't work, I charge it back every single month, yet Stripe doesn't care one bit.

Attempting to contact Stripe results in emails asking if I need help resetting my password (yes I legit sent an email asking for them to investigate the "company" and they sent back a reply with details on how to reset my password), to telling me to contact my credit card provider.

Honestly both companies are giant bags of turds, if you can you should look elsewhere, you can save money on almost every fee, there are alternatives to every single product they provide, and pretty much all of the alternatives are varying degrees of better or cheaper.
The replies to this are already good. Everything between "deboonked" to "always has been".
Heck I can’t even go a full day without taking breaks every hour or two so I can move around. I am built for action, not to be sedentary like some others. So I have to find a balance - water breaks, bathroom, vape outside, go to the chiro during office hours, etc.

It really works for me. Letting my brain organize things to come or solve things in process isn’t always an active thing. I let the runtime process operate in the background while I enjoy the outdoors. Not everybody has this fortunate tool, but since I do, I use it extensively.

the lie that the US was heavily involved in the coup?
This list is from the Cold War and all targets on German territory are in former socialist East Germany. West and East Germany was where World War 3 would have started, and it was kinda expected that all of Germany would essentially be turned into glass about 30 minutes after the war started. Both the Warsaw Pact and NATO had absolutely humongous military forces concentrated on both sides of the border (compared to today's European armies).

I really hope the US could be bothered in the meantime to clean up their target list though ;)
