I doubt user funding would cover more than a small fraction of the costs. Someone crunched the numbers in the Lobsters comments, and compared it to Wikipedia's funding. They concluded Mozilla would have to be more popular than Wikipedia to make it work, and it almost certainly isn't.

I think an intergovernmental EU funding initiative might work, though.

Unfortunately I think we're going to need a lot more than luck.

But I appreciate the sentiment.
So what is your argument, that we should go on fully with the war and send more soldiers to the front? Because we don't want to make any concession with Russia? Because we don't want to sympathize at least a little bit because that would make us "weak"? So we should go on and risk WW3?

Think about it from their perspective.

Imagine you're new to a codebase, you're struggling to make it work. Unbeknownst to you, you're about to cause a production outage. Someone more senior at the company, the domain expert in the new thing you're using, notices you're struggling and decides to sit there, let you flounder and break production. It might not be a big outage, but you'd feel pretty bad and unsupported by your team.

You can see something bad about to happen, your instinct shouldn't be to do nothing to teach the person a lesson. You owe them the professional courtesy of offering a guiding hand.

I think the issue is that helium does not become a solid at 0k at 1atm pressure while hydrogen does. So one needs to do these experiments under less than 1 atm pressure when working with hydrogen or higher temperatures which may then not result in a superfluid state?
It wasn't a "nation" though. It was an empire that could only be held together by force and oppression.

Crimea was a disputed region. Russia had claims for it right after the Soviet Union got dissolved, as Crimea was always a Russian territory, not Ukrainian. But secretary general of Soviet Union acting as an individual, without any referendums or something alike decided to just give Crimea as a present to Ukraine. That even happened in the times when it didn't mean much: Russia and Ukraine were the save country - Soviet Union, that's why no one bothered to correct him then and there. It was more of just a gesture. And how can it not be? There was a Russian military base on that peninsula! Who lives on that peninsula? like >90% are Russian nationals. It was Russian de-facto, but just not de-jure.

Granted by United Nations - every nation has a right for self-determination, so Russia did some not-so-legal actions by holding a referendum there, just so that the people of Crimea could exercise their right for self-determination. Which they then successfully did and overwhelming majority voted for being with Russia, rather than with Ukraine.

These were just the facts, not opinions.

Now there is the place for some opinions: you think (as far as I understand) that this is when Russia started a war.

And I say I don't see these events as Russia starting war, since the annexation of Crimea was voluntary and happened without a single shot.

I don't know of any examples of wars happening without a single shot.

I think the consequential actions of Ukraine (that got mad by the fact that it just lost some part of their country due to separatism) is when the war started.

That's when a few other regions claimed they'd like to join Russia as well and that's when Ukraine attacked them.

Who can tell what would have happened? It sure would not have been easy without US support:

"... Lend-Lease, including 1,911 locomotives and 11,225 railcars. Trucks were also vital; by 1945, nearly a third of the trucks used by the Red Army were US-built. Trucks such as the Dodge 3⁄4-ton and Studebaker 2+1⁄2-ton were easily the best trucks available in their class on either side on the Eastern Front. American shipments of telephone cable, aluminum, canned rations and clothing were also critical."

Because the US is a minority of the world. So is the EU. So is China, despite being larger than both combined.

But NATO first agreed not to expand to countries along Russia's border, because they see that as a threat. But then NATO did anyway. So it's not like we're being told by Russia what to do, we made an agreement.

And Russia is also a superpower, and we don't want to be in conflict with them. So yeah it's not that everything they say we should abide to, but we should also not think that we can do everything without upsetting them.

It's a public, tamper-proof log of all certificates issued.

When a CA issues a certificate, it sends a copy to at least two different logs, gets a signed "receipt", and the receipt needs to be included in the certificate or browsers won't accept it.

The log then publishes the certificate. This means that a CA cannot issue a certificate (that browsers would accept) without including it in the log. Even if a government compels a CA, someone compromises it, or even steals the CAs key, they'd have to either also do the same to two CT logs, or publish the misissued certificate.

Operators of large web sites then can and should monitor the CT logs to make sure that nobody issued a certificate for their domains, and they can and will raise hell if they see that happen. If e.g. a government compels a CA to issue a MitM certificate, or a CA screws up and issues a fake cert, and this cert is only used to attack a single user, it would have been unlikely to be detected in the past (unless that user catches it, nobody else would know about the bad certificate). Now, this is no longer possible without letting the world know about the existence of the bad cert.

There are also some interesting properties of the logs that make it harder for a government to compel the log to hide a certificate or to modify the log later. Essentially, you can store a hash representing the content of the log at any time, and then for any future state, the log can prove that the new state contains all the old contents. The "receipts" mentioned above (SCTs) are also a promise to include a certificate by a certain time, so if a log issues an SCT then publishes a new state more than a day later that doesn't include the certificate, that state + the SCT are proof that the log is bad.

That's not well-commented code, that's just noise. When you are calling a function named "read_csv()", you do not need to add a comment that says "Read the CSV file". These sorts of comments make code harder for humans to read.

The hill that I will die on is that if you need to comment what your code is doing, your code is either a) bad and should be rewritten to be clearer, or b) the result of tricky, clever optimization that you needed to do after profiling.

Comments should tell readers why you're doing something, when it's not obvious based on the code itself.
It's not 2 FMAs, it's AVX-512 (and going with 32-bit words) ⇒ 2*512/32 = 32 FMAs per core, 256 on an 8-core CPU. The unit counts for GPUs - depending on which number you look at - count these separately.

CPUs also have much more complicated program flow control, versatility, and AFAIK latency (⇒ flow control cost) of individual instructions. GPUs are optimized for raw calculation throughput meanwhile.

Also note that modern GPUs and CPUs don't have a clear pricing relationship anymore, e.g. a desktop CPU is much cheaper than a high-end GPU, and large server CPUs are more expensive than either.

This one is right.

Have a shoe-box key, a key which is copied 2*N (redundancy) times and N copies are stored in 2 shoe-boxes. It can be on tape, or optical, or silicon, or paper. This key always stays offline. This is your rootiest of root keys in your products, and almost nothing is signed by it. The next key down which the shoe-box key signs (ideally, the only thing) is for all intents and purposes your acting "root certificate authority" key running hot in whatever highly secure signing enclave you design for any other ordinary root CA setup. Then continue from there.

Your hot and running root CA could get totally pwned, and as long as you had come to Jesus with your shoe-box key and religiously never ever interacted with it or put it online in any way, you can sign a new acting root CA key with it and sign a revocation for the old one. Then put the shoe-box away.
Same reason the Warsaw pact and communism in all East/Central European countries collapsed at the same time. It could only survive as long as there was a credible threat of Soviet invasion.

Same applied to almost all of the national "republics". Most people were only willing along with it due to fear and hopelessness (since any type of civil disobedience would be violently suppressed).

Show HN: Non-Ergodic Coin Game Simulation
I built an interactive simulation showing a paradox that applies to markets and life: even when the average outcome is positive, most individuals can still lose over time.

Players bet on coin flips where winning gives +50% and losing takes -40% of their current capital. This seemingly favorable setup (positive expected value) hides a brutal truth: despite the mathematical advantage, most players eventually go broke.

You can adjust win/loss percentages, number of players, and other parameters to explore how different conditions affect outcomes.

There are plenty of things to invent still, but perhaps no longer in software. Every other field - mining, railroads, car making, chemistry etc. had its huge boom period sparkled by breakthrough innovations, and later settled into a mature field where not as much is happening. Perhaps it's software industry's time for that.
I disagree with you about the effect of sanctions. Their result was that airliners became a strategic priority rather than something Russia was happy to buy overseas forever.

Furthermore, the sanctions demonstrated that there is sovereign risk associated with purchasing Western airliners.

Finally, IIRC the airline's regrets were largely related to the poor early reliability of the French-built parts, specifically combustors, for the Superjet engines. It remains to be seen how the new Russian engines will perform.

> How about we don't build an auto-updater?

Sure. I’d rather have it be provided by the platform. It’s a lot of work to maintain for 5 OSs (3 desktop, 2 mobile).

> we should try our best to release complete software to users that will work as close to forever as possible

This isn’t feasible. Last I tried to support old systems on my app, the vendor (Apple) had stopped supporting and didn’t even provide free VMs. Windows 10 is scheduled for non-support this year (afaik). On Linux glibc or gtk will mess with any GUI app after a few years. If Microsoft, Google and Apple can’t, why the hell should I as a solo app developer? Plus, I have 5 platforms to worry about, they only have their own.

> Touching files on a user's system should be treated as a rare special occurrence.

Huh? That’s why I built an app and not a website in the first place. My app is networked both p2p and to api and does file transfers. And I’m supposed to not touch files?

> If a server is involved with the app, build a stable interface and think long and hard about every change.

Believe me, I do. These changes are as scary as database migrations. But like those, you can't avoid them forever. And for those cases, you need at the very least to let the user know what’s happening. That’s half of the update infrastructure.

Big picture, I can agree with the sentiment that ship fast culture has gone too far with apps and also we rely on cloud way too much. That’s what the local first movement is about.

At the same time, I disagree with the generalization seemingly based on a narrow stereotype of an app. For most non-tech users, non-disruptive background updates are ideal. This is what iOS does overnight when charging and on WiFi.

I have nothing against disabling auto updates for those who like to update their own software, but as a default it would lead to massive amounts of stale non-working software.
This is a bad comment. It adds nothing to clarify anything, since the function in the line below is "read_csv."

Trolling?

Today Trump and his sidekick verbally attacked a man on TV, who has spent the last 3 years watching his country viciously and maliciously attacked by Russia. He's watched his people die. His friends killed. His country leveled.

And then Trump spews "give up" and "screw you", and the best part is he gets agitated and upset when the Ukraine didn't bend a knee.

This isn't trolling. This is the President causing real world events to happen. This is the President derailing a 3+ year effort by the entire West to stop Russia's aggression. This is a President appeasing a dictator, an expansionist, but apparently when he says and does things he's... trolling?

Come now.

I get how that works on desktop, but on mobile, I can add a local file as a vault in Obsidian, but I don't think that file could be tracked by my cloud sync app. Does the Nextcloud app support that? Not sure how you use git here, could you explain?

What I have gotten to work was to download a file from the sync app, open it in a markdown editor app and then save it to the cloud by sending it back to the sync app. It technically works but it was a bit too inconvenient to become a real habit (too many taps, need to rename the file on upload and set location each time,...).
I used it only to call landline numbers in foreign countries.

Well I can tell you the Python code was written with the help of an AI
This is not a case of "code for people to read". If you want that, maybe try literate programming[0]. I prefer in the case where the code is blindingly fucking obvious for there not to be an extra comment above it that adds no value whatsoever. I much prefer for comments to be about the theory of the code rather than to explain in a worse way what I can already clearly see simply by reading the code. In other words I much prefer comments about, say, why some particular data structure was chosen, over comments that only say shit like "create a new linked list".

> seems possible that Russia now might look more like a northern European

Probably not. Kerensky and most other moderates were still reactionary imperialists by modern standards and wanted to keep the empire together.

And the divergence between Russia and Norther European countries occurred hundreds of years prior to the revolution. Overwhelming majority of Russians were very poor and illiterate peasants. It would be near impossible to build a progressive/democratic society in such a place without massive economic and social changes (which wouldn't just happened on their own).

> he essentially outworked

He was also an extreme liar and a hypocrite. The Bolsheviks did and said anything to get into power and then reneged on most of their promises. Main issues at the time were land reform and ending the war, the Bolsheviks pretty much just stole the Socialist land reform plan and pretended they'll implement it when they get into power (which likely resulted in much less direct opposition to them in the early stages than would have been the case otherwise). Yet they obviously nationalized most of the land as soon as they secured their position. They also tried invading Poland/Ukraine/Baltics/etc. as soon as the German army withdrew.

> I am ashamed of the US.

Don't be. I'm neither American nor European, and from my vantage point this is far less America's (US) fault than it is Western Europe's. US has been asking Europe to increase defense spending for years now, and at the beginning of the war it was below 2% (Germany was spending 1.25% in 2018). Trump said this very publicly in during his first term, and he was ignored and mostly ridiculed. Same thing with the Gazprom deal.

Europe's defence should not be entirely on the American tax payer.
Thanks for your personal empircal revelations.

I'm sure you know Bupropion doesn't affect seratonin, its a dopamine re-uptake inhibitor.

As someone who also doesn't seem to respond much to seratonin related meds, Burproprion worked somewhat but I suffer from increased insomnia as a side effect. I actually respond better to things mostly affecting GABA and NMDA rather than the 'classic' anti-depressents.

That said I was trialled on methylphenidate and all it did was make me procrastinate waaaay faster, so personally I'm avoiding any stimulants stronger than caffeine.
While I don't disagree with that, in my experience all Windows instability on WinNT family (and I tightly worked with all end user versions of Win from 16 bit W3.11 to the recent Win11 with a very few exceptions) are caused by faulty hardware and/or bad drivers that can't handle it.
I don't think I could remember any issue that I can't attribute to bad HW/3rd party driver.

Wrt Win95 & it's kind - all processes in that family essentially run in a single address space, and data "isolation" were "achieved" only through obscurity. If you knew some magic constants that were easily obtainable from disassembly, you could do anything there. So no wonder it was as bad as the worst program you've installed..
It is different, otherwise why would then explain at length at how it is better?

But, "we have x million monthly users _in Arizona_" would be using your personal data, from a legal standpoint. And if they provide that aggregate data in exchange for money, they are selling your personal data (but not in the way many people think of it, like in a Google/FB sense of building an individualized profile and selling ads against that).

Mozilla might be doing very sketchy things with your data, but it's also very plausible that they are doing a reasonable job at anonymization of data but in a way that is still technically classified as selling personal data (in aggregate form).
