> See it as Ukraine being drip-fed western weapons in just enough quantities to completely tie up Russia.

Been saying this for years now. A quick win, or a quick loss, means Russia has time to recoup losses and rearm for the next engagement, likely Ukraine round 3, etc.

Instead, keep them tied up and burning through the massive Soviet surpluses of hardware, strain the already shaky economy, and accelerate the already-happening demographic collapse. Russian arms trades are already suffering, and several countries have cancelled their orders -- they know they won't get them, or have seen the goods in action and don't want them. And then there is the shot in the arm for NATO funding -- Europe is re-arming -- and has Sweden and Finland in the club as well.

The Russians aren't dumb and are willing to take some hardship, and have thus far been able to get around some of the demographic losses by using prisoners and ethnic minorities. Trade with India and China has thus far kept up, and China, too, is getting a shot in the arm via cheap oil and an imputus to innovate drone tech. Looking like Spanish Civil War 2.0 in a lot of ways...
Thanks for the reply and for giving me further food for thought. I'll have to think more about it but I can see how Privacy fits this framework. My first inclination is to see Privacy as a consequence of Freedom, meaning you are free not to disclose something if you choose so. I'm still seeing Life as the foremost right because without it, you can't exercise any other rights, and because one's right to be free cannot infringe another one's right to live, generally speaking. But regardless, you've given me lots of great food for thought, so thank you again for that reply and I look forward to seeing your paper posted here one day
Yes, really. That's what /etc was for.
Take a look where (US) hyperscalers have presence, they still need to be able to expand.
You can write a program that takes BF code as input and outputs valid C source that would execute it in less than 20 lines of well formatted ANSI C using nothing more than putchar, getchar, while, pointer inc/dec and dereference, so I can imagine a full compiler for it would be super simple too.

(Though I bet an optimising compiler would be a _little_ more complicated) ;)
A well-considered essay from PG. I thought this part, discussing a practical approach to dealing with disagreement of beliefs, was particularly insightful:

> Is there a simple, principled way to deal with wokeness? I think there is: to use the customs we already have for dealing with religion. Wokeness is effectively a religion, just with God replaced by protected classes. It's not even the first religion of this kind; Marxism had a similar form, with God replaced by the masses. And we already have well-established customs for dealing with religion within organizations. You can express your own religious identity and explain your beliefs, but you can't call your coworkers infidels if they disagree, or try to ban them from saying things that contradict its doctrines, or insist that the organization adopt yours as its official religion.

> If we're not sure what to do about any particular manifestation of wokeness, imagine we were dealing with some other religion, like Christianity. Should we have people within organizations whose jobs are to enforce woke orthodoxy? No, because we wouldn't have people whose jobs were to enforce Christian orthodoxy. Should we censor writers or scientists whose work contradicts woke doctrines? No, because we wouldn't do this to people whose work contradicted Christian teachings. Should job candidates be required to write DEI statements? Of course not; imagine an employer requiring proof of one's religious beliefs. Should students and employees have to participate in woke indoctrination sessions in which they're required to answer questions about their beliefs to ensure compliance? No, because we wouldn't dream of catechizing people in this way about their religion.

Maybe the docs are misleading? Seems that if I want my package to be installed, I need to pick a build system, regardless of if I am using any native code. https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/projects/init/#packaged-a...

> Package managers are for keeping track of which pieces of code you need in your project's environment. Build systems are for... building the code, so that it can actually be used in an environment.

This probably means something to the developers of the package managers and build systems, but to me, as a Python developer who wants to be able to publish a pure Python CLI program to PyPI, it seems like a distinction without a difference.
it seems very noise-like to me.

Truth and Knuth is an author of books so it makes sense for him to write code for books when writing code for books. However code that isn't bound into book has different needs and should be different. I've printed out code before (the floor gives a lot more space to spread out text than even the largest monitor, and taking a pen to circle useful parts is helpful) - but I recycled that paper as soon as the bug was found/fixed. In that case I'm never interested in how the code is documented/supposed to work in the authors imagination - I care about what it actually does.
> Existence of some counterexamples does not upend the basic observation: that way, way fewer women are capable of carrying a 100 or even a 60 kg person out of a fire than men.

My point is the need for this ability is next to zero because it is extremely dangerous, and yet women are judged by that on their inability to be a firefighter at all? That's bullshit, pardon my French.

> The vast majority of the really dangerous stuff in IDF is still done by men, not least because of the risk of rape when falling into hands of enemies.

A lot of the men that got taken hostage or got found dead on Oct 7 were raped as well. And yes, IDF tries to dissuade women from enemy-facing action, but if a woman decides she accepts this risk, she can go for any role she wants.
Well, there's a bunch of different dimensions of trust.

Britain will work hand-in-hand with the US with regards to fighter jets, nuclear weapons and spy agency cooperation.

But America doesn't trust Britain's blood sausage and haggis, or its traditional unpasteurised cheeses. And Britain doesn't trust America's chlorinated chicken, GMOs or guns.

> I didn't find any references mentioning that timer clock affects read time of TMR_CVWR.

Reading the register might be related to the timer's internal clock, as it would have to wait for the timer's bus to respond. This is essentially implied if Marvell recommend re-reading this register, or if their reference implementation did so. My main complaint is it's all guesswork, because Marvell's docs aren't that good.
I'm not entirely aligned with this article, though I think the principle is correct.

I do think that it should never be illegal to tamper with a device that you own in any way that you find acceptable.

But I do not feel that manufacturers have any obligation to make this easy or possible.

It should be completely legal to hack your devices and to distribute tools and instructions for hacking devices without limitation.
I'm going to provide a controversial take here as CS grad from a similarly-tiered program: there is a huge chasm between top-4 cs programs and everyone else. The top 4 are obvious: Stanford, MIT, CMU, Berkeley.

Then there are the cs programs of the ivy leagues, not as strong, but usually you have a rich parent or uncle who has already speed-tracked you into a hedge fund, so lets put those aside.

I didnt go to a top-4 cs program and the reality is -- there is no longer a real job market for any cs grad outside the top-4. If it were not for ZIRP it could be there never was! There is definitely not a job market for the sheer masses graduating with cs degrees, and it will take a decade to absorb the fresh graduates.

The curriculum does not matter here, so I think all this discussion is beside the point. No curriculum stasis or change will magically lead to jobs for fresh graduates.

I say this from three perspectives

1. Reality - just ask people if they found a job (ignore nepo-hires, also ignore startup founders with nepo-vc investments)

2. What politicians say. Both Dems and Reps have tacitly (or loudly) noted that local graduates do not cut it. It used to be subtle (https://www.fisherphillips.com/en/news-insights/biden-admini...), but it isnt any longer
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyv7gxp02yo

3. How people act. Foreign workers want the jobs more and are willing to do anything and learn anything to get it. My office is 95% non-us workers. They work hard.
I think it's interesting that they're actually using the term "open-weight" here instead of what AI corps would want you to use which would be "open-source", trying to conflate sources and weights. Perhaps a good sign, for a week.
It costs significant cognitive load, to change one’s use of language, to remember that to express the same thought one must now say b instead of a. Couple it with a social taboo - people who still say ‘a’ are bad people! Literally the worst! Actual racists! - and it’s not really a surprise that there is pushback.
By far the best programming book I've ever read, by orders of magnitude.

I think the literate programming style fit this book well, but the main reason is simply that it tackles not just the theoretical side but also the practical side in great detail.

In my experience a lot of programming books focus a lot on either and ignore the other, and that leads to frustration when trying to implement stuff in practice.
The game in question is rated E for Everyone (following the Random Card link from the parent comment https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Doca.Rando...) - I don't know if the two specific games in question are mechanical copies, but the most successful gacha games are specifically marketed as kid-friendly so target audience is definitely not the issue.

to bring up the extremely rare occurrences of intersex people as some sort of justification for saying "male and female, and thus men and women are hopelessly useless/simplistic concepts in our world" is not a compelling argument. Biological reality exists, it defines us. No amount of socialization or education will convince a banana to write a symphony.

In much the same vein, men and women exist. We can fool ourselves into thinking a person can completely cross the divide between them, but it simply is something we tell ourselves/friends, an idea its not currently polite to deny. It is not objective reality itself.

If you grew up in certain communities or religious groups, standard playing cards were forbidden items because of their association with gambling.

In many of these communities, obvious replacements like Rook decks [0] are somehow perfectly fine. Even though you can easily emulate a standard deck using this deck that consists of about the same number of ranked cards divided into 4 suits.

Two things that are practically identical, but one is "evil" and one is not purely by association of how some people use one of the things.

As a species, we draw some pretty weird dividing lines.

Genshin Impact teaches how to blow hundreds of real dollars on "pulls" that may or may not give you anything of value. This is much closer to the essence of gambling than poker hands.

Gambling is not cards or slot machines or pachinko balls or any of these aesthetic elements. It's the wagering of real money on an uncertain outcome. This is why sports gambling is gambling even though it doesn't involve any of the above aesthetic elements. Genshin Impact is much closer to gambling than Balatro.

I occasionally see stutters too, even with Full HD video. Or more precisely, mplayer complained about slowness and having to drop frames.

It often helped to actually give the VM more cores (not just the default 2), but sometimes it was due to some weirdo codec/quality setting, and recoding the video just solved it. Sometimes switching to vlc (from mplayer) helped. Other times it was simply due to the sys-usb vm being overloaded.

At a macro level they look similar, but when you dig closer it starts to fall to the wayside.

A major driver for Singapore's initial growth was the fact that it is the de facto Oil Refinery hub in ASEAN - much of the oil that is extracted in Malaysia or Indonesia has had to be routed to Singapore at some point.

It has the benefit of having a strong financial service sector thanks to a business law system that strives to maintain parity with that in the UK and the US, but it's a very narrow industry that most Singaporeans don't partake in.

Also, Singapore has always had strong economic relations with it's neighbors Malaysia and Indonesia (even at it's worst points). Most of the business leadership in both countries are ethnic Chinese with blood relations in Singapore, which made it easier for Singapore to leverage it's position.

A major downside I've noticed in SG when I've travelled there a bunch is the lack of a truly strong innovation ecosystem. Sure there are plenty of startups, but most of them are just Chinese or Indian startups that are leveraging a Singapore CoLo to simplify investment. Much of the actual R&D and even leadership capacity remains in China or India.

SG is a very hierarchical country and that really limits their innovation capacity. Back in my undergrad, I knew 5 A*STAR candidates and a couple other bonded service candidates - of them maybe 50% returned to Singapore, and those that did were from households who owned a house (iykyk). The rest got offers with tech companies here in the US and broke bond. Even in the SAF, races segregate into their own units (eg. Ethnic Malays are de facto banned from airforce and high clearance positions).

>>unless your small town has a demographically-improbable homelessness problem...nothing I said pertains to you.

Well, the current town has no homelessness problem, but there ARE most definitely laws in place (Massachusetts 40B) that specifically seeks to override local zoning and mandate low-income housing in ALL towns.

So, while we agree that what you said should not pertain to me, the people making the actual laws most definitely apply it to me.

I don't know why there is the disconnect, perhaps some misguided "it must apply to everyone everywhere" cop-out to avoid the actual complexity, but the fact is that the rhetoric is very destructive.

>>defining "the character of a neighborhood" entirely in terms of money.

The DEFINITION is "quiet, low traffic, wildlife, gardens, etc.".

The COST is defined in money as well as work.

The point is that those things are not free — they cost a lot of work and yes, money in both taxes and improvements and maintenance. More importantly, it is not cost-free to decide to destroy those valuable things. Especially when the result will not help the people you are intending to help.

It's especially fun when it's the same tone as other instructional works, but the thing being taught is totally fictional. Delicious in Dungeon by Ryoko Kui is a phenomenal manga that combines a deep love of classic tabletop gaming, goofy humor, and detailed cooking advice but for cooking monsters.

And on the opposite end of the spectrum, because that level of instruction comes with the genre, it can be amazing for a creator to purposefully avoid that. Taiyo Matsumoto is a weird vibey almost abstract artist, and when he took on the classic sports manga structure in Ping Pong he intentionally explains nothing about how Ping Pong works lets the whole story play out via the main characters repressed feelings.
