> deliberately wading into a multi-year attritional struggle

I don't understand how people expect anything different here. Even the US with all it's superpower fanciness spent years in Iraq and decades in Afghan. I am also skeptical over that whole "my opponent is more stupid than me" attitude. We can already see how people made fools of themselves spelling Russia's haste economic demise, while Russia is expecting an economic growth now according to the World Bank.

Idiocy would be setting unrealistic expectations and treating this like a computer game, when a well-fortified Ukrainian army at the Donetsk border (that Zelensky was inspecting a few times in 2021) would somehow de-spawn or vanish in case Russia would hastily take Kyiv.
> The problem is that Windows 11 and above (try very hard to) require a Microsoft account, because these orcas of computing want to remind you with every step that you don't own the device you bought. Hence it's simpler/better to just virtualize everything.

Then they do absolutely crazy weird things!

I recently got a new laptop. My account is `adavis@<domain>.com`, my user name on my old laptop using that account is `adavis`.

What did Windows 11 do when I create my user on laptop. Oh it makes my user name `adavi`, yes it truncated my username.

After scouring the internet, trying a few different things to rename my account to no avail, nothing worked! Until I found a command to bring up an account management window that looked dated to the win 2k era ish (and can't be found via any settings window). It allowed me to create a local account with the name `adavis`. I then logged into it, deleted my `adavi` account then was able to associate my new local account with my Microsoft account.
I haven't used windows for 20 years and yesterday I had a teams teleconference using Firefox on Linux. It works noticeably more poorly than most similar systems (jit.si for the win) but it works.
My son gave me a hard time for Valorant secure boot requirement on Windows 11 (but not 10). As a triple boot user (Haiku and Linux), secure boot is a no go on my box, since I reboot frequently.
I use separate browsers for work and personal. On a work machine, my personal stuff will be in Firefox and my work stuff in Chrome/Safari/whatever.

It's just easier for me to manage that way. That being said, my work google account is connected to my personal phone which is probably gonna mess me up at some point.

> I find that no matter how slow I type, I need to spend more time thinking of what to type anyway

It true that thinking takes more time than typing/editing even you type slow and don't use any hotkeys for editing, but I have a feeling that the less time/effort I spent on typing/editing the less my thinking is interrupted.

With some practice one can use quite a few vim features relying on 'muscle memory' to spend less time/effort on editing and concentrate on what matters - thinking.
[1] "According to the BBC report, the UK “imports around 95% of its tomatoes and 90% of its lettuces, most of them from Spain and north Africa, according to trade group the British Retail Consortium (BRC).”

Morocco has responded to the shortage claims by noting that the extreme weather that has been sweeping the country has had a huge impact on fresh produce."

>In the UK, competition law prevents jacking up the price during a supply interruption

UK Supermarkets have contracts with suppliers which are not brilliant, its how supermarkets have become the controlling middleman in the food supply chain in the UK, and as they also employ large numbers of people in the UK, some 2nd only to the NHS which is the largest employer in the world making the USSR seem febrile, they can hold the British Govt to ransom with employment figures, like one did in the 90's when Labour got into power.

Just about the only thing they have honoured in the past is the MOD orders for food get picked first at the expense of the store's orders, during the Balkans conflict.

If a law or regulation does not exist for some activity, it will be exploited if it can make the supermarket money and they are so slow paying, ignoring your supplier credit terms, typically taking 6 months to pay up. They offload admin costs onto you by making you submit your invoices into their systems, but you can pay for a more streamlined efficient way to submit your invoices as another example.

They are not alone though, all big businesses have their questionable tricks, and one of the major causes of these shortages is lack of investment in the supply chain for extreme weather, in this case cold weather that hit north Africa and Spain. The UK has been living too cheaply, through efficiency and lack of investment, something COVID also highlighted to the world with JIT supply chains.

Elements of the global supply chain had little to no redundancy built into it for "natural" events, which COVID highlighted and ionosphere heaters[2] continue to highlight under the guise of extreme weather events! [3] The science is out there if you want to be informed and not be fed your opinions.

Try any natural process bean, medium-light to light roast.

I don't understand what chemistry is going on, but I have personally roasted beans (I don't even work on this very hard, max power, wait for first crack, then eyeball it) and they will consistently take at least 14 days to start tasting good, and last for well over a month without much of the typically stale bean attributes. They degrade a bit, but still taste good.

My record for one of my own roasts is maybe 3 months. It may have tasted good for longer, but I brewed and drank it all. I've had some random washed ethiopians that took a long time to mature, but by and large natural processes really take a long time to mature and last a long time for me.

> Russia gets out and stays out of Ukraine, Russia extradites those Russians who have committed war crimes, and Russia pays reparations for the rebuilding of Ukraine.

> If Russia wants to rebuild itself then its best option is to remove Putin and withdraw entirely from Ukraine

The second option doesn't seem to require Russia to do the first. Nor does it really require Russia to remove Putin to get peace. Putin withdrawing is no doubt more realistic if China helps put lipstick on the pig with an obfuscated treaty on future alliances that can be called a victory.
This seems like a clear case of selection bias. People with Linux and Mac are probably devs and technical people who will obviously utilize a much broader range of functionality of their machines and thus encounter more edge cases.
it's because the patients are running the sanitarium here.

the typical cost of legal actions pursuant to a data breach are so low, it doesn't make dollars or sense to give a shit about customer infosec.

It's not like we don't have perfectly capable people, or that the companies in question don't care about information security in general. For example, it's exceedingly rare to see a data leak that makes individuals or institutions look bad from a PR standpoint (like Snowden).

But customer data? why bother? what, are they gonna slap us with a million dollar class action? I'm quaking so hard in my boots my multibillion market cap is gonna fall off.
UK competition law does not prevent supermarkets putting up prices, and the Competition and Markets' Authority to intervene in cases of abuses of market power does not extend to UK supermarkets being banned from paying more for imports than French supermarkets

Well I remember Liz Truss saying British civilians would not be prosecuted if they went over there and fought. This is standard textbook SAS/SBS protocol, resign your commission for deniable ops, go off to conflict zone and fight. They also dont like tattoos for this reason, so if you are military and want to earn more money, dont get a tattoo, you might just as well get useful idiot tattooed on your forehead!

The fact that NATO have been loading up the Ukrainian people with debt via forced if not compulsory purchases in all but name of military equipment tells me both sides will be winning out of this at the expense of the useful idiots going out to fight and the Ukrainian people. The businesses already sizing up their contracts when rebuilding Ukraine, the poorest country in the EU, starts in earnest, is going to be lucrative to say the least. You know that Putin is in on it by the seemingly random buildings being destroyed, I see demolition for new shopping centres, car parks and other civil amenities taking place when its reported and spun in the news.

For a hobby project I’ve used Zephyr via the segger embedded studio for the nrf52. Coming from full stack web development and having dabbled with Arduino IDE, the learning curve was a lot steeper. But I totally understand why, the problem space of supporting all of the different chips and all of the different libraries is huge. It didn’t help that nordics was transitioning from their old stack to the zephyr based one and all the forums and documentation was incredibly confusing because of that. After learning the options menu where you select which parts of the stack to include in your binary things started making a bit of sense, but I still have no idea whether the softdevice is still a thing or not . If you ever want more user feedback feel free to reach out.

There are definitely amazing features in the ecosystem. E.g. the fact that you can run a live debugger on this tiny chip is mind blowing.

IMO, The main issue in here is BigTech obsession with a single login. One single credentials give you access to everything, from entertainment to professional services.

People do share their credentials with family, specially if involves subscription and payment. BigTech try so hard to push for not sharing, but they fail to understand (or don’t care) that most people, specially non American, don’t have the budget to subscribe multiple time. Family accounts are non existent, lacking management options, and also more expensive.

It would be nice if long-distance travel by train were much more practical than it currently is in the U.S.

Personal vehicles are a huge source of CO2 emissions, but I don't think it's realistic to just ban them all. I would rather we focus on phasing out internal combustion as quickly as possible, which is a lot easier to do if we had suitable infrastructure. (Not just more public charge stations, but it should be standard for new apartment construction, and we should be looking at electrification of highways so cars don't need huge batteries for cross-country trips. It's not realistic to expect every car to have 500-1000 pounds worth of batteries. That doesn't scale, at least not in the short-to-medium term.)

It would also be good if public policy didn't encourage large vehicles.
I think Germany knows that there are no other option, they need more skilled workers and they need more kids.

Kids are way way easier to integrate than adults, so for immigration, they are probably the best subject.

> I'd disagree that it's extrajudicially expanded, it's courts and prosecutors privileging police, probably because politicians have made it clear that they think Sweden needs many, many more police and currently very few and fewer suitable persons let themselves be recruited.

It’s debatable if extrajudicial is the right word. It can be used to describe sentencing entirely outside of the formal legal system (as e.g. in “extrajudicial execution”). But that’s clearly not what I’m referring to here. In my view it can also be used to describe the case where a court makes decisions outside of the law, without legal authority or in direct conflict with law.

So in my mind what you are describing is essentially an extrajudicial expansion. We have a civil law system where it shouldn’t matter what politicians say. The only thing that should matter is when 175+ members of parliament press the green button. To the best of my knowledge they have never done so with the intent to expand police use of force in self-defense.

The example you bring up I think is a poor one (from my perspective), since the court’s verdict was not entirely unreasonable. A better example is the case where a police officer beat a very drunk unarmed man with her baton and let her dog attack him because he refused to lay down on the street. The appellate court (“hovrätten”) found her not guilty based on her statement that she could see from a tightening of the muscles in the man’s face that he was about to attack [1]. I’ve read the judgement and deem it bizarre enough to warrant the extrajudicial label.

Another reason I think it’s fair to call it an extrajudicial expansion is that several police officers I’ve talked to think of this kind of use of force as now within their authority. The line between legal use of force and what a police officer “can get away with (essentially by lying in court)” has been blurred, and for many it’s the latter that they see as relevant.

Under your argument 14th century land in Manhattan is worth the same as 21st century land.

Land values are just capitalized land rents. Land in Manhattan is valuable today because the stream of income or potential stream of income that flows from it today. When that potential is lost, land values collapse.

The entirety of that value in Manhattan derives from what is around it - the people who live there. The rents are close to 100% parasitic.

Let's say a nearly identical apartment costs $700 in a cheap town and and $3,700 in manhattan. That means roughly $3000 / month of that rent is parasitically extracted.

In the past you used to be able to purchase the right to tax people - and whatever you could wring out of them you could keep. These people were not very popular. Land ownership is not so very different.

I think VS Code is just extremely convenient and can address most peoples needs out of the box. It’s therefore also very beginner friendly. You don’t need to constantly fight the tool or spend hours researching how to configure some trivial feature. That being said VS Code is quite heavy and has an enormous amount of GUI elements. I mean they even have buttons for things like git fetch and pull for heavens sake. They could release a VSC Light that strips most of the GUI out.
