Bullshit: If anything Zelenskyy has been swallowing Trump's active disrespect for years, bearing it with smile on his face and compliments on his lips in order to advocate for his beleaguered country.

Among other things, Trump has:

1. Deliberately held back legally-required support in order to extort Zelenskyy for favors in his first term.

2. Accused Ukraine of starting the war with Russia, which is utterly insane.

3. Disparaged Zelenskyy as "dictator" while simultaneously refusing to ever say anything remotely the same about dictator Vladimir Putin.

4. Earlier tried to slip Zelenskyy a time-limited lowball deal of "50% of all your mineral rights in exchange for basically nothing".

5. Illegally halted funds going to civilian relief groups operating in Ukraine.

Even a schoolchild should know that someone who constantly disrespects others does not deserve respect.
Despite being a debian/ubuntu guy, I usually used CentOS for production deployments because it would be easy and seamless to upgrade to RHEL when I hit the big leagues.

Not anymore. I just use the latest ubuntu LTS and call it a day.

IBM/RedHat was soo predictably short sighted on this.
> But once again, I now know why the entire Javascript / TypeScript ecosystem is beyond saving given you can pull the source code out of the sourcemap and the full credentials out of a deployed package.json.

You've always been able to do the first thing though: the only thing you can do is obfuscate the source map, but it's not like that's a substantial slowdown when you're hunting for authentication points (identify API URLs, work backwards).

And things like credentials in package.json is just a sickness which is global to computing right now: we have so many ways you can deploy credentials, basically 0 common APIs which aren't globals (files or API keys) and even fewer security tools which acknowledge the real danger (protecting me from my computers system files is far less valuable then protecting me from code pretending to be me as my own user - where all the real valuable data already is).

Basically I'm not convinced our security model has ever truly evolved beyond the 1970s where the danger was "you damage the expensive computer" rather then "the data on the computer is worth orders of magnitude more then the computer".
Yeah! Just from Czech Republic - our old Mi-24 are shooting down Shahed drones daily, some of the first tan shipments were czech t-72s, we sent our old Kub SAM bateries, Vampire MRLS, BMPs, etc.
I think it was disgusting what Trump and Vance did, but I don't believe for a second that everyone will view it that way. The 40% that voted for them will view this as an ass whooping Trump/Vance gave Zelensky. They're all in on the grift, there's no reason this will turn them off.

Now, if SS or Medicaid is gutted... that will be the turning point for this admin.
Most Israelis are fully aligned on what Bibi has been doing. Sure, they like to say that they hate him to maintain decency, but when it comes to his actual policies on Palestinians, 90% of Israelis are fully on board.
European Democracies should start a, new, NATO-like military Alliance on their own, but without Trump's America.
(and without the notorious US-made military equipment kill-switches)

And while we're at it, this time will be different:
Instead of the membership criteria being anti-soviet communism, as in NATO, it should be effective Liberal Democracy - and - Freedom from Exceptionalist Exemptions, namely from the International Rule of Law. So, to be part,

1. Compulsory International Criminal Court membership and compliance - hence no exceptionalistic US, and no exceptionalistic Israel.

2. No "Illiberal Democracies": say, for example, composite of a minimum 0.67 score on the WJP Rule of Law Index and others: therefore no Orbanic Hungary, and no illiberal others like it. Poland, Slovakia, Italy: time to make some hard choices if you want in.

3. Democratic backsliding removes you rights in the Alliance, and, can proportionally lead to outright expulsion.

Not one more new military equipment purchase from the US, (and dispreference for other non-qualifying nations procurement). Member nations should use their - substantial - industrial capacity to equip themselves with indigenous military materiel.

Hey, it would be actually great for the economy!

Initially European scope, but bridges to a broader global scope (or even a secondary sister-Alliance) with open-ended partnerships with Canada, Australia, New Zeland, Japan, South Korea, and yes: Taiwan.

US and/or Israel want to join, if a more Democratic future selves? Simple: fully join the ICC, and meet the Alliance's full criteria as every other member.

Same applies for prospective new members.

Sweden shows how principled positions can be maintained while building serious defense capabilities. Now multiply that model by Europe's combined industrial and technological base.

We just need the political will to execute - instead of just rolling over and wagging our tail to bullies.
Given the situation, he did stay calm and slow. He did an excellent job trying to keep the cadence measured.

But Trump jumped in angry at the implication that one day Putin will come for the US. That is when Trump stated his machine gun speech … millions will die, world war 3.

This was a shameful day for America. Period. Full stop.
OK, as if I couldn't have less respect for this Lex dude, this take is absolutely unhinged.
Brave is better than Chromium in the same way that a sore throat is better than strep throat, when what everyone really wants is a vaccine.

All the arguments in favor of Brave over Chrome are going to apply tenfold to browsers fully independent of Chromium, and it's a perilous place to be, a boat on the edge of the Chromium whirlpool forever rowing (Brave repeatedly branching and forking the parts of Chromium it doesn't want and reconciling them to new updates) to not get sucked in.

> My take from reading the more neutral guardian article is that the Americans don't see russia as a threat,

... in spite of the many continuing active attacks coming out of Russia. Credibly with state support. As part of a longstanding pattern.

> probably because they have faith in their public and private cyber defense.

What they're shutting down is (a meaningful part of) "their public and private cyber defense".

> And possibly also because they do similar cyber attacks, so they don't hold it against them.

That is a shockingly stupid thing to say. "Don't hold it against them"? None of this is about the feels.
> the US can turn from ally to bully

This has been par for the course for decades. They used to be on good terms with Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, Iran after they couped Mossadegh. Heck, they even armed and trained Osama Bin Laden to fight the soviets in Afghanistan. It has always been a deadly gambit to ally yourself with the United States.

I'm not saying it's universally the case of course. For every Saddam there's a Pinochet, for every Gaddafi there's a Suharto. But the fact that the US can drop an ally just like that should not be a surprise to anyone.
As sarcastic as this is and scary at the same time, when you’re right you’re right. Accountability is such a vapid concept in American discourse it is snipping the last vestiges of social contract between leaders and, well, those they claim to lead. Fear and loathing for what may come.
> Writing expands your working memory, lets you be more brilliant on paper than you can be in person.

So true!
How many hours per week does he work? How much is he earning by hour?
There are already 6 NATO countries on the border with Russia, I'm shocked that you don't know this.

If Ukraine became a member before 2014, we wouldn't have had this horrible war, but Russia was controlling Ukraine's political class, and making threats to NATO countries against them joining. Especially against Germany who was reliant on Russian gas imports.

I can see that you're determined to believe that Russia is just defending itself here by attacking preemptively, and you will probably support any action by them, including a full annexation, and attribute it to their reasonable intentions.

No need to pretend that you have respect for me... But in reality what's happening is that you're dismissing information that doesn't fit in your worldview, by disparaging the person who presents them to you.
> You can't therapy your way out of epigenetic changes.

Isn't that exactly what the study purports to show? Why would psychological trauma (i.e. negative nurturing) effect epigenetics but not psychological healing (i.e. positive nurturing)? What we consider "trauma" by modern standards would have been experienced by a huge fraction of every prior generation, and over the course of generations the entire population countless times over via epigenetic inheritance. Either it works both ways, even if unevenly, or it's BS (the framing if not the science). Ideological motivations aside, it just happens to be much easier to identify and track discrete incidences of severe trauma.
> why eastern europeans would rather die than be under russian occupation.

From what I gathered, people above a certain age say that their country was better under Soviet Union. Additionally, people say (probably rightly so) that Orbán is pro-Putin. Why is it the case?
Totally agreed, just not an easy thing for intelligence agencies to fiddle with/defend.

We'd love your feedback, particularly on our design, UI and architecture.
Having taken SSRI for anxiety, it feels more like a second order effect. The brain is anxious, the serotonin goes in, the serotonin is not exactly "anti-anxiety" signal but "feel-good" signal.

Repeat constantly every day for months and the brain thinks, "ok we constantly have this euphoria going on, time to turn the anxiety off no need for it anymore"

This would also be why the serotonin increase is instant when starting SSRIs, but anti-anxiety effects take months and are gradual
What would Ukraine gain from a deal where they give up their natural resources in exchange for a pinky promise between an invading dictator and his 'wanna-be dictator' friend to allow Ukraine to remain an independent country?

A world in which this is true is likely still a world where presidents should not be conducting puppet shows.
If you ask any practicing psychiatrist, you'll see that they are aware of the problems with SSRIs. They tell their patients that they may need to try several drinks until they find one right for them.

The way you presented those statistics is very misleading. The 70% number for sexual side effects you quoted was actually for patients that stopped taking at last once drug for that reason. Typically patients will have to try 2-3 drugs to find something that works for them and may need to transition to a new drug when the old one is no longer effective. So it's not like those patients are facing those side effects on an ongoing basis. It's just during the initial period when they are adjusting things.

I suspect that the reason why SSRIs perform so poorly in the studies is that the amount of variation in these receptor targets is high, so some drugs actually are effectively placebos to a large fraction of people. But for other individuals they are a miracle. And if you multiply that by the number of different drugs, you can almost always find one of them that helps each patient.

This goes into your assertion about "serotonin receptors are all over the body". That's something doctors and medical researchers have known for a long time. That's why the SSRIs are tailored to the specific variants of the serotonin receptors present in the organs they want to influence. That doesn't mean they have no effect on the receptors in other organs, but that the effect is minimized to the extent possible. But I suspect that one limitation in how tightly we're able to target the right receptors has to do with individual variation - make it specific enough that it doesn't affect other organs then it doesn't work for anybody with the slightest variation in target receptor shape.

But I agree that the role serotonin plays in depression is poorly understood. But I don't agree with the implication of your post that we should stop using them. They are often helpful even in cases where therapy is insufficient, and improve outcomes in conjunction with therapy. They are too useful a tool to discard, even with their issues.

But not a calorie tax.
The usual issue is code evolution over time, not the initial version which tends to be okay. You really want to have tooling strictly enforce invariants, and do so in a way that fails closed rather than open.

In other words, use Rust.
> I don't think the West ever threatened a nuclear response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

I think so, too, but I also think it’s likely that, through silent diplomacy, there was a clear message “if you nuke the Ukraine, there will be a response in kind”.

Without the USA, it’s hard to keep that message, though. Neither England nor France can respond in kind to a tactical nuclear weapon, as they don’t have any.
I remember when that was tried and ignored.

Some startups are paying pretty good salaries, maybe not at the level of Google, but fairly close from what I've seen in recent recruiter messages. If you consider that many offer a hybrid working policy and this lets you relocate to a cheaper area, it might be possible to keep the same purchasing power without getting exploited.
China is smart enough to know that US diplomacy lasts longer than a 4 year term. They've been operating off the 1992 Consensus, and had a longstanding agreement with the US re: One China Policy that was upended by Obama, and then Biden. Trump's chaotic swings are a blip.

China is also smart enough to have been watching the "decoupling" pushed by the Obama-era CIA starting in the late 2010s, and then the Russian invasion, so an actual Taiwanese land invasion won't happen until China is fully decoupled, and even then there is the much bigger international fallout. China won't throw away its position as world factory. Within China there are too many people in the party who don't see a land invasion as feasible.

All of the recent sabrerattling by the US and pushing Taiwan for a declaration of independence is what would trigger an invasion. To think that opportunistically exploiting a senile president's term to act on this conflict grossly misunderstands the entire Taiwan/China situation. And it says more about you and how Americans view global diplomacy.

How do you figure? I just picked the first submission on the topic and merged the others into it.
The spat started when Vance made a point addressed to the US media (not Zelensky), and Zelensky interjected to confront Vance for his statement.

Up until that point there had been 40 minutes of cordial discussion. I don't think it was intended that the talks would break down and the deal would fall through.
What we got, and get, out of supporting Western Europe at the end of WWII was that otherwise, the entire continent would have been run by the Soviet Union. Not just that, we got a valuable trading partner, and our rebuilding put an end to hundreds of years of European wars.

Not that you might care about the moral aspect of it, but we also finished Nazi Germany and prevented that horror from taking over the world.

What we got out of expanding the alliance to Eastern Europe was a further bulwark against Russia, which has always been an expansionist totalitarian empire that enslaves or kills anyone who disagrees with the dictator. It's no different now than it was under the czars.

Europe is basically America's backyard now, and Russia wants it. Giving up your backyard because your violent neighbor threatens you for it, doesn't make you strong, it makes you weak.

Concurrent maps are generally worse in terms of being able to understand the system than either non-concurrent maps guarded by a lock, or a channel/actor model with single ownership. Data-parallel algorithms should also generally use map-reduce rather than writing into the same map concurrently.

I've written highly concurrent software with bog-standard hash maps plus channels. There are so many advantages to this style, such as events being linearized (and thus being easy to test against, log, etc).
In 2022 the US would have actually showed up for Article 5.
A lot of strange definitions of folding in the responses.

I would consider "folding" to be backing down and giving in to whatever Zelensky requests.

Throwing a tantrum, embarrassing oneself, or even harming your own interests is distinct from folding.

If you tell a mugger, "what are you going to do, shoot me" and they do, the mugger is stupid but didn't fold.
I see SK and Japan also as necessary allies for the EU. But if China decides to take Taiwan, I don't think there's anything the EU could possibly hope to do about it; Taiwan remains independent because the US guarantees their independence. If Trump were to withdraw that guarantee too, I don't think there's anything that can save Taiwan.

It sucks, but the EU has more urgent problems closer to home. All I can hope for is that Trump hates China enough that he'll continue to guarantee Taiwan's freedom. But I'm sure at some point he's going to ask them for some more material "thanks" too.

But yeah, the EU's relationship with China should not be the same as that with other allies. But I think there's room for some cooperation, and the EU might not object too loudly if China were to take outer Manchuria back, for example.

The modern equivalent is "Run Shell Script" in Shortcuts or maybe Automator. Shortcuts has the advantage that you can use your shortcut directly in Quick Actions in Finder's context menu.
