> 1. Field communications are difficult, presumably due to Russian signals intelligence.
> 2. Russians have a weaponry advantage. Presumably this is mainly driven by artillery? Last I heard, airspace is still contested. Is that still the case?

Exists three big problems.

First, they intercept signals and if possible use intercepted info to target their artillery or aviation, and they have superiority in both. In artillery they have about two times superiority (on begin of war was 10-20); in aviation, 5-10 times.

For about air defense, looks like they have more number of long range systems, like S-300, but we now have grown number of short range systems, like Gepard.

Second, they have developed electromagnetic warfare, and interfere our communications, and for example, in many cases could disable our drones just by EW equipment. They invested really huge resources on this, so even Western precision-guided munition suffered limited accuracy.

Third, they have their own spy satellites, and have experienced people working with tech intelligence for years, and we in Ukraine are mostly agrarian people, experienced only with light guns. Also, Russians actively involve academy resources (yes, literally universities) to conduct war research and to teach operators of new tech, like drone (uav) operators.

As example of war research, our hackers intercept documents, that in Russian civilian universities conducted researches of best routes for Russian drones to hit Ukrainian infrastructure objects.

Also, Russians heavily use civilian building equipment to build fortifications. And Russians constantly hit Ukrainian civilians, but Ukrainians, avoid to target civilians at all costs.

This sometimes remember me colonization of America history, where on one side was tribes with bows and arrows, and on other side colonizers with rifles and guns.

Partially, we in Ukraine working on peer level, to research and to teach people, but I near have not hear about government programs of doing this, and our bureaucracy is constantly late on this.

Fortunately, Ukrainians much better in peer working than Russians, but I'm not sure this will be long superiority.

And I don't know, when we fix our weak bureaucracy.

And yes, Western equipment is far better than Russian, but we have it in too little quantities, to achieve superiority. For example, Russians usually have to spent ~50 artillery shells to hit target; with Western guns, Ukrainians in many cases need only 10, but Russians have these 50 shells and Ukrainians have not these 10.

And sorry to repeat. This is really big war, in which things changed constantly. And changes are so huge, even NATO analysts sometimes said, they was not imagine this could happen. For example, people said, at NATO they trained that mine field will be square 200x200 meters, but in reality seen many kilometers strip about kilometer deep. And when Ukrainians use anti-mine system, make pass and go there, immediately, Russians fire from artillery and use systems for remote placing land mines.

I've recently worked in a high profile company where it took them long and painful to move from CentOS 6 to 7 (over a year long effort, IIRC, finished for prod in 2021? but with some crucial corp infra still on 6 in 2022).

In 2022 they had to start a new huge effort do deal with migration off CentOS7, and the problems were so painful it was considered reasonable to build a Linux distro from scratch and remove all traces of distro dependency from the product (SaaS)
In a system of particles, due to random Brownian motion and the nature of Gaussian energy distributions, a small number of particles occasionally gain significantly higher energy than average through statistical fluctuations. Maybe enough to escape the binding energy of le grand k. However I would think this is a very very small effect in platinum.

How do you expect them to do that? Also I highly suspect a large portion of people on Github are aware that Bitcoin and other crytpo projects use a lot of energy.
> I've actually been at a local (mostly informal) tournament where someone with an Elf deck managed to pump their life into the thousands (you start with 20 or 40 depending on the ruleset), and his opponent with a Goblin deck got an infinite combo for infinite damage. But the Elf player refused to accept "I can do this infinity times" and made him actually try to perform his card combo over a thousand times before the round timer ran out. Goblin deck did not win.

So the Goblin-deck owner allowed the Elf-deck owner to do a "I give myself 1000 life" with a combo but the Elf-deck owner wouldn't let the Goblin-deck owner do the same with damage? That's kind of a jerk move if so.
That would be a for a judge to decide.

Hsinchu, Taiwan

Pro: Taiwan is overall a very convenient place to live. Cheap delicious food; convenience stores on every other block; public transportation is great in Taipei, decent everywhere else; beautiful mountain hiking trails, and beautiful beaches in the south; very friendly people

Con: Real-estate is ridiculously expensive especially when you factor in the local salaries; Local work culture is very much long hours to give the boss face (I work remotely); Mandarin isn't the easiest language to learn (especially if you have hopes of reading/writing); The Taiwanese often miss my favorite form of humor -- sarcasm

(Living in Hsinchu to be close to my wife's family while we have little kids, but Kaohsiung and Taipei are tied for my favorite Taiwanese city to live).

Stop spreading FUD about Ethereum (SOL and EOS, valid).

Ethereum shares the same philosophy of ensuring that clients are capable of being used on lower end hardware to ensure diversity of nodes.

Ethereum nodes can and are being run on Raspberry PI's + SSD drives.

You can even validate the Ethereum network on a Raspberry PI.

In Ethereum you "validate" instead of "mine" like in bitcoin, this is what keeps the network secure and validating is much more power efficient (99.995% less power use than Bitcoin for). See Proof of Stake vs Proof of Work.

My question to you is: Look at BTC. What kind of specialized, expensive, environmentally unfriendly, ASICS do you need to secure the chain?
even better idea, github should charge repos that have huge environment impact shit load of money, and subsidize those who are good(and probably vote for the right people)
Anyone who knows outside plant fiber could have told you this was a recipe for disaster. The only way to "micro trench" fiber that will last is using a big-ass diamond bladed wet saw, like 10 to 12 inches down and then fill the slot with proper concrete/pavement grouting. NOT two inches down and filled with black rubber stuff.

Vancouver BC has an extensive microtrenched fiber network in the busy downtown core, crossing many roads, and it's relatively trouble free.

This is a question I've been asking myself (probably due to a lack of understanding and knowledge) and this theory seems to hint at something similar: why do we assume spacetime to be homogenous in its nature? Here they seem to say that on some quantum level spacetime could vary drastically. Couldn't then dark matter be explained by some variations on a large scale? Like giant "wrinkles" in spacetime? They would then behave as pseudo black holes, or more like "black trenches", that lead to the structures we see today in the universe. The structures seem to have more mass than what we can actually see, but are in fact just placed in locations that behave differently gravity wise?

That was probably a hybrid optane setup, like the h10 ssd. It was a tiny optane ssd and a normal ssd on the same m.2 card. Not very good compared to real optane. A really noticeable improvement when running apt, or dnf, or any windows program install.

It’s actually pretty easy to run Ethereum nodes. Also, statelessness and verkle trees will enable Ethereum to be validated on cell phones eventually. That’s not going to happen with Bitcoin.

Also, funny to see Bitcoiners talk about running censoring client implementations for Ordinals.

Many economists are so fully bought into their models that they can't think of any alternatives, despite them being essentially useless. I interpreted skin-in-the-game in that way - as professionally committed. Perhaps something different was meant.

Hrm, I don't know what others think, but for me the changes just mean one thing: never HP again. No, not HP printers. HP. And warn others about HP instead of recommending HP.

At the moment I even envy the people who can't scan without ink. I just get a "how about creating an online account for local scanning" and "how about using your phones camera instead?". That's my scanning experience. A raspberry pi over USB does some scanning, but it's a bad UX instead.

I also regularly can't print, an odd error pops up that goes away if you print once via USB. I have a cups airprint server on a raspberry pi just for that. So apparently IPP over ethernet vs. IPP over usb causes a 100% reliable error until a different transport medium is used.

So yes, I notice these changes. And it changed my mind about HP. It was a smooth printing experience when we bought the device. And this is not an aging issue, it's actively crippling a device I paid for.

Wow, thank you for this very clear explanation. :)
8 years worth of comms tech progress should of course make 1 Gbps much cheaper if the competition worked (since the same fiber works for higher speeds).
Yes. I've done that (but only on immutable filesystems, where it's not (much of?) a problem).

Really worth noting that Maelstrom was the project they used to build the "Fly.io Distributed Systems Challenge" https://fly.io/dist-sys/ which was pretty popular at one point and discussed here, too. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34897723
It's the same in the UK for the most part.

OpenReach (which was "split off" from BT) puts the infrastructure in place, and OFCOM (our telecoms regulator) defines the price they can charge to ISP's for a connection - so you have a raft of ISP's who compete on price or service.

There are other infra providers though, Virgin Media (DOCSIS Cable) cover some of the country, CityFibre are doing a massive expansion (I now have all three available at my property), Hyperoptic (mostly focuses on apartments).

And then there's Hull ... which is a special case that never became amalgamated to BT back in the day and instead is served by Kingston Communications.

For the most part it works well, but heavy regulations is anethema to some over the US side of the pond and therefore YMMV.
I’ve recently spent some time working with terminal emulators in raw mode on macOS. While I chose to handle key events using escape codes, and found it seriously difficult (even gave up) to process the shift modifier key. However, I came across xquartz [1], which seems to do similar things as mentioned in the article. Would detecting shift key state have been trivial using such a library?

Back in the day, I watched The Hobbit first in 3D 48 fps, and I hated it. Sure, it got less bad throughout the movie, but I just couldn't get used to it at all.

I then rewatched the movie (also in theaters) in 2D 24 fps and it was infinitely better.

I have the same with YouTube videos. I can't stand 60 fps videos (except for gaming content); it causes headaches for me. If it's something I really want to watch, I'll download the 24 fps version and watch it offline (YouTube has it on their servers, but only serves it to certain clients or something).

I know other people who just can't see a difference, or rather, they don't notice it much. I feel like I can spot a 60 fps YouTube video in about 2-3 seconds (usually I pause then to check and reconsider whether I really want to watch it). I also tend to notice 30 fps videos (compared to 24), although they don't really bother me.

Considering that I've always been the only one at movie nights to notice when the TV's frame interpolation setting is on, I guess I'm an outlier.
> 'you're not trying to win, so your blocking line results in a game loss'.

Is that how it goes now? It used to be infinite loops (e.g. playing a Faceless Butcher when the only creature in play is a Faceless Butcher that exiled another Faceless Butchers) resulted in a draw, not a loss.

Not just that. OLED TVs nowadays have a screensaver that kicks in when it detects stationary image for more than a few minutes.

They also shift the image around by a few pixels to prevent logos and tickers from permanently marking the screen.

And when turned off, they also try to level the brightness of individual pixels by displaying different patterns - again to combat "burn-in".
I have read that before, that nodes are a force in keeping the Bitcoin ecosystem stick to the rules. But I never understood it.

What does running a node on your laptop achieve? If two parties out there agree to call some roll of toilet paper a "Bitcoin", how will your laptop stop them from doing so? One of the two will hand the other one the roll, the other one will say "Thanks for the Bitcoin" and thats it, right? Why would they send TCP/IP packets to your laptop and ask for permission?
> Many economists are so fully bought into their models [...]

How do you know that? Whenever I interact with economists, mostly online via blogs but also sometimes via email, they always seem painfully aware of the shortcomings of their models, and don't seem to confuse them with reality.

Perhaps you have studied a different sub-population of economists than the ones I have anecdotal experience with?
Before and after, I'd hope. :)

Cost reduction. We needed to make these for under $10 so we could give them away as part of our razor blade model. Google that-if you know, you know.
Optane SSDs are really special and still have a place. SLC is 30 microseconds at best, FIO puts my 905p optane drive at 5-11 microseconds. That means for a single threaded latency bound task, a 905p may finish it 6 times faster than an SLC ssd. 20 times faster than MLC!

That is to say stupidity works as an excuse, even though we don't like it.

"Competently-executed" is taking it too far. Look at the mess, it's all childish and cruel.

There is another one concerning stupidity. It is that stupidity and love can not be differentiated from the outside. Not knowing if you are in love or just stupid, is in essence a heartbreak.

Yes. Boxes of them. I hacked it because I previously wrote for 2600, Google that. Later I helped write for Make Magazine… makezine.com
This model is called open access fiber in the US and is how fiber is currently being rapidly built in small and medium cities, and some rural areas. It’s a significant change from a few years ago. Usually the fiber operator signs a telco as an “anchor tenant” for the city for mutual financial stability and then one or more other ISPs compete. Typical offerings are between 300/300 and 8 gigs(!) with 1 and 2 gig priced reasonably.

Physically, they’re negotiating the dig with the appropriate government body and then doing it all at once. Cables are buried by roads. The ISPs connect the network to the individual homes when the home signs up. Large apartments and office buildings have the dig done in advance and are usually restricted to one ISP tenant that the network operator chooses to service those locations/accounts.

Both the fiber operators and the ISPs are raising money to expand faster, in addition to the public money available, because the capital risk of this model is low, as you said.
Science had fared quite well so far with the assumption that the laws of physics are largely the same no matter where and when we are. There would have to be very strong evidence to throw that out. And the immediate next problem is that it actually wouldn't explain much. The immediate next question would be "why is spacetime behaving this way".
In the use case they were pushing for consumers, accelerating a hard drive, it was pretty much indistinguishable from cheap flash.

Optane had great potential for big databases, but you're not running a big database.

It also had very interesting potential for supplementing memory, as a very low latency place to store bulk data. But then the Optane DIMMs ended up being just as expensive if not more expensive than actual RAM. So outside of certain niches, especially because of how narrow the compatibility was, just spend the money on more RAM.
Isn't that fairly obvious? You need to repeat the work for this kind of stuff.

I can say that SRS reading pales in comparison to SRS writing when it comes to learning Japanese.
How to you handle data migrations?
I want to migrate my old users table in to my v2 application. I am thinking of using big bang approach for this migration. What are the good approaches while doing the migration. Im thinking of writing an script to query the old database and writing the data to new database. is there any better solutions I have to do this more efficiently?
MTG doesn't require solving the halting problem because, if neither player nor the referee can come up with a way to halt a loop, then the match ends (long ago, when I played, it ended in a draw; other comments in this thread suggest that a player intentionally doing this may incur a loss now).
Cinema at 24 fps also gives me headaches in panning shots. It did as far back as I can remember.
There's a rough Dutch equivalent encouragement "gas erop!" or "gas op die lolly!". Literally translated: "gas on it!" and "gas on that lollipop!".

Both imply that you should increase the throttle and go faster in the current bearing. I'm not sure where the lollipop comes from.
Will add a background switcher!
