Ukraine as of the start of 2022 was significantly less developed than Russia. It was the poorest country in Europe, even behind other victims of Russian aggression, like Georgia and Moldova. [1] [2]

It just has the notable advantages of:

1. Being incredibly motivated to fight an existential defensive war.

2. Being the recipient of every surplus NATO armament under the sun. Its industrial capacity for war-making isn't located in within its borders.

It's true that Russia has significantly neglected its industry, but Ukraine has... Done the exact same thing. In a worse way, even - as despite inheriting a lion's share of Soviet industry, it didn't do anything with it.

(And to cycle back to North Korea, I'd like to point out that the economic rot in it is so deep, it's not even capable of feeding itself.)

I had a specific book of the exact thickness required to support the back of the RAM pack to keep it from wobbling. I remember how proud I was of this solution and it might just be the first real issue I ever had to troubleshoot on my own as I had no idea why my little programs were getting obliterated.

Edit: he briefly addresses RAM pack wobble in the video - "extra blue tack", haha.

There seemed to be avenues open for people to register their displeasure at Labor, via preferential voting. Two minor parties 'Angry Victorians' and 'Sack Dan Andrews' party were obvious targets to put before Labor, along with the usual alternatives such as Green, Reason, Legalize Cannabis (although those risked electing someone instead of a Labor candidate). Yet the Labor vote was overwhelming. It very much seems that there was only a vocal minority against the lockdown policies. The displeasure with Labor seemed more about their environmental policies, with the Greens and Legalize Cannabis taking left wing votes away from Labor.

One thing that confused me initially with sqlite - if you want it to wait for writing locks to be free instead of erroring on write contention, you have to start write transactions with BEGIN IMMEDIATE. Since if you start with a read transaction that gets upgraded to write in the middle of it, you can't really wait for locks because you cant have a consistent snapshot of an old version of the DB that is read/write.
The fact that the software was not audited speaks more about the big names who invested in this clown than the clown himself. So weird how he publicly touted the EXACT OPPOSITE of everything he did and stood for.

He may ask the judge for a rebase.
Expecting Apple to fight your fights isn't going to solve anything. Apple only cares about money, and they're going to obediently abide by local laws (as they do in China). We need to take the power away from Apple and put it in an entity that we en-masse have influence with - such as a democratically elected government.

I'm watching the video and from where I started Martin is talking to the person who gave him this info and he is reading these very comments and the comments on his blog post and being very skeptical and also thinks it is fake now too. Very good watch, and I like the non-attachment to the specific outcome Martin has towards all of this. He is looking at this objectively.
Sure, if that's a requirement then it's not a great fit. But it might not be a requirement.
How does political corruption work? We would need to visit a party in Washington DC to be able to describe it precisely, but it probably can be summarized as “one hand washes the other.”
They were already quite well off, now their son is in trouble.

"My son is going to prison but I have secured my millions so it's fine" is generally not a thing.
Fair enough! Great story though and wonderful outcome for him.
They would try, but they would likely fail because, as I mentioned above- do you have any responses to the points I bring up? To enumerate some of them-

1. Consumers are already sick and tired of having to do account management already and having to deal with Meta or Google forcing them to do more of that will lead to backlash.

2. I'm unconvinced that Meta and Google have the product capability wherewithal to force a great migration, judging by their attempts at new products in recent years, let alone what basically amounts to a new platform. The Facebook Home launcher went nowhere and I'm pretty sure Android Instant Apps didn't either. They don't really fare very well outside of their home turf, and iOS is definitely not theirs.

3. Regulators, particularly in the EU, would not sit idly by while Big Tech lures customers to shady third party app stores; if anything, these stores would present opportunities for greater scrutiny and more crackdowns.

4. I'm not even sure if Meta can get away with pulling a crucial app such as WhatsApp away from the main App Store. That seems like monopolistic behavior, and disruptive to the lives of tens of millions of people who use it for basic communications. The EU would probably mandate them host it on their third party app store AND on the official App Store.

5. I do have a carve out exception for games, because publishers regularly engage in extractive abusive behavior and gamers just take it or pirate:

I do think the possibility of a Bytedance app store/sideloaded .ipa is a wildcard, as TikTok seems to be the current killer app on mobile.

It's unsatisfying, but the answer to this has always and will always be no. There is never an upside for them to disclose any more than they have to.

Well, I can keep going. One possible definition of culture is "stories that we have in common". Ukraine has its own literature (in the Ukrainian language, but not only), its own music, its own religious cult (Kyivan Patriarchate, rather than Moscovian), a very different political model, different personalities, different role-models.

> If you use language as the canon for culture definition

I'm not, I was simply dispelling from the start the idea that speaking the same language means having the same culture. By that rationale we could say that USA, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, England, Malta and India have the same culture, which would be ridiculous.

> I never heard that Russia's culture was Ukranianized... I would be happy if you could cite me some source of this.

So glad you asked. I'll provide two sources (well, one and a half) that can't be suspected to have any bias against Russia, and after that I'll let you do your own research.

One is Nikolai Trubetzkoy, who once wrote: "Таким образом, старая великорусская, московская культура при Петре умерла; та культура, которая со времен Петра живет и развивается в России, является органическим и непосредственным продолжением не московской, а киевской, украинской культуры." - http://www.hai-nyzhnyk.in.ua/doc2/1928.trubeckoi.php

The second one, I'm sure you'll recognize for yourself. "Киев - мать городов русских" - https://news.obozrevatel.com/politics/49831-putin-nazval-kie... .

> After the moscowians kicked the Mongols out of the region around the 14th century

Haha. You're oversimplifying to make it look like a rosy battle for independence, when in fact Moscow simply enhanced its power by opportunistically backstabbing its neighbours and being the main collaborators of the Mongols. As an example, Moscow was an ALLY of the mongols when putting down the Tver rebellion. That is how Moscow managed to increase its power and become the dominant force in the area; in modern terms - by being a collaborator with the occupant. Sorry, I guess they forgot to mention this in school.

Edit: perhaps this is something they teach you in school - around the time of Peter the Great, a series of reforms were introduced to Westernize Russia, and many people refused to comply because they believed it to be against the cultural and religious norms by which they and their ancestors lived. This clash led to persecutions and an exodus, with many people fleeing Russia in all directions. Descendants of those people (Old Believers, but not only) still live, to this day.
So in a sense, the Old Russian culture, the authentic one, only lives in a few places around the world outside of Russia, whereas the current so-called Russian culture in fact originates from the West and Ukraine. Вот это поворот!

One use for such a 'laser initiated fusion' is the LLNL (Teller) proposed X-Ray laser satellite from the Star Wars program in the 80s. The proposed solution then was to use the X-rays from an exploding bomb at the heart of a satellite and amplify and focus them through a 'lasing' material. It turns out they never found a lasing material that would work, and it would be fairly easy to confuse defeat it, so the project died. What also killed it was the end of the testing program.
Easier consumption is pretty much it, yes. Specifically, it'd make it easier to stay engaged with publishers and communities even if they aren't part of a centralized platform, which means that people who develop publishing and community apps will have an easier time growing their user base.

> Users would still depend on centralized services to publish content, and there's little to no chance that these companies would interoperate using a standard protocol.

All you need is a blog/newsletter platform like substack, ghost, wordpress etc. They may not aggregate your social posts into another feed for you, but you can use a separate service to generate and host the feed, then link to it from your main site.

RSS and email do this pretty well I think!

Energy is an input to basically every single thing we make or do. In economic models it’s often been found that “technology” parameters (inversely) correlate almost entirely to energy prices.

If energy cost very little, we could do previously unviable things like vertically farm and let farmland go back to nature, smelt ore onsite, or run simulations/models for a fraction of what they cost now.

I got older. As I got older, I got more empathy - maybe partly just from getting older, but partly also by working on myself. I prayed and meditated a lot, trying to figure out why I was chasing the things I was chasing. The ego boost of being a jerk is one of those things I was sometimes chasing. Why? What was I really looking for there?

I also got married. And then I had kids. I got to see, up close and in my face, the damage that being a jerk did to other people - people I cared about, people that I either had to just continue to look at the damage or try to pick up the pieces. Seeing the hurt on peoples' faces quickly took the fun out of being a jerk.

Agreed. As it stands, macOS will treat un-Notarized apps as if they're radioactive, and the OS actively tricks the user into thinking such apps either don't work or are malicious. You have to pay the $100/year tax if you want your macOS app to compete on fair terms with other apps.

FBI’s Vetted Info Sharing Network ‘InfraGard’ Hacked
I think what your describing was actually a problem that I introduced in our bind configuration back when we used DNS for service discovery. Its not exactly what your describing but I can totally see how it would appear that way externally.

So initially we used 2 bind servers with authoritative zones serving using round robin. This worked fairly well as the load on each server was high enough to keep the round robin flowing and the connections from ruby would "stick" for 30 seconds anyway. We had a very large pool of front ends so its not like it mattered. Eventually we had to put a local bind cache on each server, but this introduced another super annoying bug. For some reason, the interaction between the authoritative server, and the caching server would end up causing the served record set to be ordered the same. Normally the authoritative server would serve A, B, C for the first query, then B, C, A for the second, etc. When the cache in the middle for some reason it would reset al queries to A, B, C after the refresh happened. So effectively every 30 seconds it would reset to A, B, C and start round robin again. Since the front ends would connect and stay sticky via connection reuse for a while this meant that A got like 50% of the load, B got 33%, and C got 17%. I am guessing you latched on to this by seeing that one of the servers was horribly underutilized in comparison and reproduced the math accidentally. =)

The fix for this was the massively disgusting, but super effective "make every single machine a DNS zone secondary". Rather than having a simple record cache we just fetched the whole zone if it changed. This actually made DNS quite a bit faster as every machine had a local copy of the zone.. Once that happened distribution returned to normal (20/20/20/20/20) fix for all of our internal services which used DNS for discovery, including snowflake.

> If you introduce super-nodes with good power and constant connectivity, where weaker nodes can post their data to be cached and replicated, you just invent servers again.

No you don’t. Not if the super nodes are almost automatic. The problem with servers is having to manually admin them.
Focus on your own failures, before you take responsibility for theirs.

Most of the fission energy in an H-bomb comes from the massive amounts of neutrons created by the fusion bomb initiating a fission reaction in the U-238 tamper of the secondary. The primary is used for its X-Rays, which cause the incredible pressures within the secondary by ablating the surface of the cylinder. When you look at this experiment and see it uses x-rays to ablate case containing the hydrogen, causing an implosion, the purpose of the experiment is clear.

It would definitely depend on how difficult it was to sideload and whether there were negative side effects (like Apple disabling certain features if you enable sideloading). Your older comment seems to imply that it would be quite difficult, and other than that I don't see much of an argument for why it wouldn't happen overnight.

My main point is that it's not about actually creating an app store ecosystem to compete with Apple's. I agree that that would be difficult (although existing ecosystems like Steam would almost certainly go for it, as you seem to concede). My main point is that they would just immediately make you sideload to use Facebook, Fortnite, etc.
np! judging by the reception /g it is possible many misread it as well.
If it’s round robin then it should be an even load, how does the modulo change that exactly?

Also what number are they using to modulo and where is that happening? Because at that point don’t they already have an incrementing ID before generating another one?
