The stance of “you didn’t care about X, so you’re not allowed to care about Y” is pretty fucking dumb.
The illegal annexation of Crimea is inherently different.
Russia had good propaganda and muddied the waters by arguing that the majority of the population wanted this.
Ukraine did not stand a chance against the invading forces. The whole attack was finished in a month. The chances of retaking Crimea at that point were next to zero.
That was 8 years ago and the situation has changed dramatically.
If most instances were of equal size you likely wouldn’t have noticed there was a problem at all.
If I haven’t noticed the problem, is it really a problem?
I can live in a world where I’m out of reach from maybe 20% of the potential audience, and maybe I wouldn’t mind it if I noticed that a workaround was required for that. But I do very much mind having to live in a world where I have to be checking with the admins what the hell is going on and why I am shut off from communication with the majority through no fault of my own.
That’s a good faith effort and a good middle ground.
Sorry, but we will have to agree to disagree on this one. Saying “we are the largest and easiest place to get started, but if you don’t believe us here are some other places you can take a look” is completely different from “our home is full now, but the cool thing about the fediverse is that you can enjoy it wherever you are”.
Having the inability of saying “we can’t do it, but you can be happy on X, Y and Z” feels like a twisted way of saying “we don’t really care about you, we care about having you”.
Anyway, thank you for at least trying to engage in a productive conversation. Everyone else seems to just want to feel personally attacked and completely missing the point.
x^n + y^n = z^n has no solutions where n > 2 and x, y and z are all natural numbers. It’s hard to believe that, knowing that it has an infinite number of solutions where n = 2.
Pierre de Format, after whom this theorem was named, famously claimed to have had a proof by leaving the following remark in some book that he owned: “I have a proof of this theorem, but there is not enough space in this margin”. It took mathematicians several hundred years to actually find the proof.
If you think of complex numbers in their polar form, everything is much simpler. If you know basic calculus, it can be intuitive.
Instead of z = + iy, write z = (r, t) where r is the distance from the origin and t is the angle from the positive x-axis. Now addition is trickier to write, but multiplication is simple: (a,b) * (c,d) = (ab, b + d). That is, the lengths multiply and the angles add. Multiplication by a number (1, t) simply adds t to the angle. That is, multiplying a point by (1, t) is the same as rotating it counterclockwise about the origin by an angle t.
The function f(t) = (1, t) then parameterizes a circular motion with a constant radial velocity t. The tangential velocity of a circular motion is perpendicular to the current position, and so the derivative of our function is a constant 90 degree multiple of itself. In radians, that means f’(t) = (1, pi/2)f(t). And now we have one of the simplest differential equations whose solution can only be f(t) = k * e^(t* (1, pi/2)) = ke^(it) for some k. Given f(0) = 1, we have k = 1.
All that said, we now know that f(t) = e^(it) is a circular motion passing through f(0) = 1 with a rate of 1 radian per unit time, and e^(i pi) is halfway through a full rotation, which is -1.
If you don’t know calculus, then consider the relationship between exponentiation and multiplication. We learn that when you take an interest rate of a fixed annual percent r and compound it n times a year, as you compound more and more frequently (i.e. as n gets larger and larger), the formula turns from multiplication (P(1+r/n)^(nt)) to exponentiation (Pe^(rt)). Thus, exponentiation is like a continuous series of tiny multiplications. Since, geometrically speaking, multiplying by a complex number (z, z^(2), z^(3), …) causes us to rotate by a fixed amount each time, then complex exponentiation by a continuous real variable (z^t for t in [0,1]) causes us to rotate continuously over time. Now the precise nature of the numbers e and pi here might not be apparent, but that is the intuition behind why I say e^(it) draws a circular motion, and hopefully it’s believable that e^(i pi) = -1.
All explanations will tend to have an algebraic component (the exponential and the number e arise from an algebraic relationship in a fundamental geometric equation) and a geometric component (the number pi and its relationship to circles). The previous explanations are somewhat more geometric in nature. Here is a more algebraic one.
The real-valued function e^(x) arises naturally in many contexts. It’s natural to wonder if it can be extended to the complex plane, and how. To tackle this, we can fall back on a tool we often use to calculate values of smooth functions, which is the Taylor series. Knowing that the derivative of e^(x) is itself immediately tells us that e^(x) = 1 + x + x^(2)/2! + x^(3)/3! + …, and now can simply plug in a complex value for x and see what happens (although we don’t yet know if the result is even well-defined.)
Let x = iy be a purely imaginary number, where y is a real number. Then substitution gives e^x = e^(iy) = 1 + iy + i^(2)y^(2)/2! + i^(3)y^(3)/3! + …, and of course since i^(2) = -1, this can be simplified:
So we’re alternating between real/imaginary and positive/negative. Let’s factor it into a real and imaginary component: e^(iy) = a + bi, where
a = 1 - y^(2)/2! + y^(4)/4! - y^(6)/6! + …
b = y - y^(3)/3! + y^(5)/5! - y^(7)/7! + …
And here’s the kicker: from our prolific experience with calculus of the real numbers, we instantly recognize these as the Taylor series a = cos(y) and b = sin(y), and thus conclude that if anything, e^(iy) = a + bi = cos(y) + i sin(y). Finally, we have e^(i pi) = cos(pi) + i sin(pi) = -1.
Researchers jailbreak a Tesla to get free in-car feature upgrades::A group of researchers found a way to hack a Tesla’s hardware with the goal of getting free in-car upgrades, such as heated rear seats.
So I’ve been in discussions like this for equipment on trains. It functionally goes:
You paid for X. The hardware we plan to use for faster build supports X+Y. You can either:
pay for Y
have us artificially prevent Y
wait until the hardware that just does X comes in
I actually agree with the options prevented above. I just think that, as the owner, you should still have the right to reverse item 2 if you can figure out how. Especially if it’s out of warranty.
The point here is that car companies already charge for these things. The reality is basically two scenarios when ordering a car:
A: You pay $x, and they offer you heating steering wheels for $y. If you do not get them then, you do not get them ever.
B: You pay $x, and you can pay $y at any time to get heated steering wheels.
The business “bet” that (B) represents is that maintaining additional SKUs for each upgrade-feature and splitting off production lines to include or not include various combinations of features 1-2-3-etc. will cost them more money than just including it in every car. Then they can sell it to you on a whim. The actual feature itself does not cost anywhere near $y in either scenario to include, which is an important component of making this possible.
Now, you can say that (B) is a shitty scenario in a vacuum: if they’re willing to include it in every car, they should just charge every car what it costs to include plus some minor markup to allow the business to operate. E.g. if it costs $50 to include, they can increase the price of every car $55. And in that vacuum I’d agree. But it isn’t in a vacuum. That is not the scenario (B) is competing with. (B) is competing with (A). In (A) you are going to pay $200 or $300 or whatever for that $50-cost feature up front, or you never get it ever. In (B) you pay that $200 or $300 whenever you like.
It operates in a similar world to how Apple charges $200 to go from 8gb of RAM to 16gb of RAM, when that might cost them $10-20 at volume pricing. Or to use a well-liked company, how Valve charges $250 for a ~$10 SSD + ~$5-10 carrying case + ~$5-10 glass coating, on the base Steam Deck vs the fanciest Steam Deck.
This is not a “as a service” model. It’s a simple upselling business model. Profits on base models are low so as to have a low sticker price, and then they try to create profit off of upgrades. In this case, the software locked version is preferable to the consumer over the default version because it’s something you can unlock at any time, instead of only at purchase. It is not a new business model, nor is it even limited to electronics. The overall business model is shitty, but that applies to every instance of it: (A) and (B), and (B) is not differently shitty.
Service based systems are based on recurring revenue, in this case anything with a subscription. Which I specifically called out as something that would make it shitty and pointed to their subscription based or subscription-incentivizing behavior as shitty.
After years, and many languages, I still have to say Ada. Kotlin, Rust, Julia, and Nim are my current contenders to overtake, but here’s what Ada does well enough to still be my preferred tool when appropriate:
strictness: typically my code works the first time it successfully compiles with few or no bugs. Rust is almost on par in this respect.
structure: a corollary of the above is that it forces me to “plan ahead” more than just “start coding” which I find fits my programming style better, and leads to better “Unix Philosophy” product designs. I haven’t found any other language that has the same effect other than maybe Haskell.
speed: I honestly find that Ada code outperforms C/C++ code most of the time. The only times C/C++ outperform Ada is after optimizations that come at the cost of readability.
multitasking: Ada’s first-class tasks and protected objects are the only way I’ve ever been able to write bug-free concurrent programs that are more complex than async/await and/or producer/consumer structures (and I took a dedicated elective on concurrency at university!). Kotlin is almost on par in this respect with its coroutines.
hardware: The fact that Ada basically ships with a hard real-time OS built-in and can compile to e.g. AVR means that all my fancy libraries I’ve written or saved work just as well for a desktop game, a website backend, or an embedded microprocessor. Just look into representation clauses and interrupt pragmas to see its unique powers.
design: The whole design of the language has lead it to be the only language where I can consistently return to a multiple year old passion project with no attempt to write maintainable code, and fully understand what its doing and modify it with little effort.
tooling: While this is the biggest downside of Ada (see below) gprbuild is still my favourite build tool. I have no idea why strongly-typed build systems aren’t more common. Its always a joy to work in gprbuild, once you get gprbuild working of course.
static polymorphism: Ada’s generics are some of the best I’ve found. But they have some limitations that leads us into…
There are some situation where Ada shows its age:
static calculation: I love Nim (and Zig, etc) for the ability to run arbitrary code at compile time. It allows me to describe what would normally be an opaquely initialized data structure or code path in a clear and descriptive manner.
terseness: Ada is verbose, that’s not such a big deal, but I find its just a tad too verbose which can lead to some slight difficulty when parsing code. func/proc (Nim) vs fun (Kotlin) vs fn (Rust) doesn’t make much difference to me, but function X returns Y/procedure X starts to add a lot of visual noise to a file.
web compilation: The ability for both Kotlin and Nim to compile to either ASM or JS is AWESOME. If I have to write a “full stack” application, Kotlin multiplatform with ktor every day.
operator overloading: Only the built-in operators can be overloaded in Ada. It always makes me wish I could overload arbitrary operators. A small thing, but a symptom of…
TOOLING: Ada’s tooling is BY FAR the hardest I have ever seen to get working. It takes the “eat your own dog food” too far. The fact that even in Arch Linux you have to install a bootstrap package, then the real package shows how hard it is to get a consistent build environment. ALR is helping in this respect, but is still not quite mature in my opinion.
Here’s when I use the alternatives, and their biggest weaknesses:
Kotlin: anything where I want both one or more JS artifacts and one or more JVM/native artifacts. Weaknesses: performance, static analysis, on the fence about tooling (gradle is cool, but sometimes seems too over-engineered), Biggest weakness: IDE dependency, writing Kotlin outside of IntelliJ is a pain, which is somewhat fair given who maintains it!
Rust: so close to beating Ada, if not for two things: ugly code - so many operators and glyphs that pollute the reading experience, maybe I’ll get used to it eventually, but for now I can’t scan Rust code, nor pick up and revisit it nearly as easily as Ada; language scale - I find Rust suffers from the C++ design attitude of “we can add this as a language feature” it takes too much mental effort to hold the entire design of the language in your head, which you sort-of have to do to develop software. Java and C are IMHO the undisputed kings in this respect. After reading through the specifications of both languages, neither will ever have any surprises in store for you. There’s no magic under the hood or special case. All the cool features are done by libraries and rely on the same simple syntax. Every time I learn a new cool thing Rust can do, its at the expense of another edge case in the compiler that modifies my conceptual model of the code.
Julia: multiple dispatch and mathematics plus clean module design and easy unicode incorporation leads to clean code for math-y/science-y code.
Nim: templates and macros are excellent, concept system gives access to Rust-style traits without all of the additional “ugliness” of Rust, excellent performance, tiny executables. I just find that the syntax can get clunky. The UFCS easily cleans up a lot of the mess that Rust creates with its added features, since it keeps the parsing the same even when using some fancy language feature.
Thank you for attending my TED talk :P. Any questions?
I work from home and I get the same amount of work done. However if you define it as, “Doing X amount of work in Y amount of time,” then yeah I’m less productive because nowadays instead of getting that work done in an 8-hour shift I take about 10–12 hours to do it.
Same work, same day, so my productivity hasn’t changed. I just take longer to do it by taking breaks, going out to long lunches with friends, and my stress level is almost non-existent!
I find that to be a very equitable trade-off: Almost no job-related stress for a slightly longer working day.

Spock: “I solved for the Y in my computation … but the variable so devastating: I’m the ex / X”.
Thanks. Now I get it. IIRC the subtitles had “solved for the why” and then the X didn’t make any sense. That is indeed clever.
My favourite Spock bit came at the end during the grande finale. Everyone was singing “we know our purpose, to protect the mission – our prime directive”, and Spock just goes “not exactly”. 😄
You know exactly why, it’s because it is the truth and they didn’t want to hear it. This is why I try to stay out of political discussions because it always boils down to “yeah well I’m X team and the Y team is bad because X said so!”.
People say they want change yet here we are, restricting freedoms with each election, the only difference being the types of freedoms restricted change when the other party finally gets into office.
You can read the history books, these people are not your friends, all they care about is controlling the people, and they are so dick-brained that they can’t even agree amongst themselves how they should do it.
Totally accurate. And there is a ton of hypocrisy with this situation as well. As you stated, older white men are demonized by every group out there. But you can’t defend yourself if you are one of those older white men or immediately simpletons will claim you are RaCiSt. And these young white kids see this and think their dad or uncle or cousin aren’t so bad… why is the world constantly shitting all over them?
The most hilarious (and infuriating) part of all this is that the same people (usually on the Left) who go apeshit when people generalize a certain group have zero problems generalizing all white guys together. How does that make sense? As you stated, just because some white dude can’t get a GF doesn’t make him an incel. Just because some white dude dresses a certain way or listens to a certain type of music doesn’t mean he’s some hardcore MAGAt. Yet those generalizations are perfectly fine for society to make but god forbid you state that X group loves Y food, or Z group is not good at something.
And this hypocrisy theme continues elsewhere as well. Again, the Left loves to pretend not to want people to generalize, but they will typically generalize that just because someone is white, they immediately have some kind of special privileged, and yet if you are black, for instance, you are oppressed. I’m sorry, but I kind of doubt the kids of billionaire Beyonce or Kanye West are being oppressed by The Man. On the flip side, some dirt poor white kid from Appalachia has absolutely no advantages in this world compared to his dirt poor black neighbor. They go to the same shitty school, their parents work in the same shitty coal mine making the same shitty paycheck, they live in similar shitty mobile homes. Yet only one of those kids could potentially get a free-ride to go to college by leveraging his race and getting scholarships.
Kids aren’t stupid. They might not be very worldly or have experience doing things, but they see a lot of this bullshit and become easy prey for groups that are actively recruiting them and tell them that things aren’t right in the world.
If something happens it will just monitor the status as I thought those didn’t even have weapons.
Poseidon would be able to say: “right before the Israeli grain ship was struck, exploded and sunk, we tracked an alpha class sub that entered from X direction a Y speed. We saw it discharge 2 torpedoes and seconds later the grain ship exploded. We then tracked the sub as it turned back to Sevastopol. Here you can see in the pictures as it surfaced before entering the harbor.”
Russia would have attacked a civilian transport of Israel live on camera. Countries take action with things like that.

Exception X with error code xxx means Y. Y should be shown via a modal dialog to the user. The state of the application has to be reverted to a valid state as error handling.
The exception/error gets logged, the user doesn’t receive a exception but the interpretation of the error is shown to him via the UI.
The author of the blog post likes X, that’s why distro A is might be the perfect distro for them. While I like Y, which is why distro B is the perfect distro for me etc. What makes Linux -in a sense as a platform- perfect great is that it allows one to either find/install/build/configure the perfect system for them^[1]^. Some prefer to be in full control from start to finish, while others just like sane defaults. The fact that Linux allows for such diversity is almost mind-blowing.
The degree of that diversity will only increase as time goes on and very likely at some point (purely as a side-effect of further diversification) very ‘dumped down’ versions of Linux might -and perhaps already have- arise. This is inevitable and -perhaps to a degree- essential. And no matter how ‘dumped down’ some Linux distros would have become by then, you can still bet your money that distros like Gentoo and Slackware will continue to do what they always have. So that everybody and their mom, but also the tinker-loving you, will be able to have their perfect distro.
Therefore I don’t see any merit/benefit in contributing to gatekeeping, elitism or whatever this is supposed to be. Instead, we should contribute in more meaningful ways; e.g. like by maintaining some packages you need in your perfect distro. And perhaps those changes will actually contribute to it becoming the perfect distro for others…
I’d argue Linux isn’t quite there yet, unfortunately. As some highly specialized systems just don’t exist yet… Regardless, l would reckon it allows one to get the closest to such systems.
Nope. If your age minimum for a partner y is determined by your age x with the function:
y = 1/2 x + 7
then the point where y = x is at y - 7 = 1/2 x. Setting y to x leads us to x - 7 = x / 2, which happens at x = 14.
At x = 18, y = 18/2 + 7 = 9 + 7 = 16.
Relatedly, if we invert the function, y - 7 = 1/2 x, thus 2y - 14 = x, which gives us the theoretical maximum for a possible partner. If a possible partner is older than that, you’d be understood to call them a cougar, or whatever the male equivalent is.
France will begin evacuating its nationals from Niger on Tuesday, the foreign ministry said, after a coup there last week toppled the country’s pro-Western leader....
I thought it was a bit of a joke that many westerners are still supporters of colonialism but it’s apparently true.
Oh Western support for imperialism is still alive and well, Ukraine has shown that. At the outset of the conflict you had people saying that Ukraine shouldn’t have sought closer ties to the West because it would inevitably piss off Russia; or, that the US/West should negotiate a peace treaty. They brought up how during the Cold War, American imperialists agreed that Ukraine should stay in the Russian sphere of influence.
All of that thinking is just imperialism. If you say country X should not seek certain international ties because it will piss off country Y, you’re defending the idea that X is Y’s possession and it must have Y’s approval to exercise any self determination. They aren’t sovereign if they can’t make their own decisions. Similarly, to advocate for the US to negotiate a peace treaty completely ignores Ukraine and doesn’t even ask what Ukraine wants. If the US brokers peace and Ukraine doesn’t want it, it’s imperialism in the form of daddy US knowing better and doing what’s best. This happened with the Cold War, where the American imperialists didn’t even bother to consider what Ukraine wanted when deciding which sphere of influence it should be in.
The hilarious, depressing part is that a lot of the people who argue these points also call themselves anti imperialist. Anti imperialism is fighting back against a global power who says you’re historically part of their empire and have no distinct culture, not suggesting you make peace with them and give them some of your land. Some people have made the logical fallacy that because the US has done bad and pro imperialist things, anything which the US dislikes must be good and anti imperialist. They don’t recognize that if the US dislikes what Russia’s doing, that doesn’t mean Russia is in the right.
I don’t expect you to fully agree with me, but I hope we at least agree that what I’ve described is also imperialism. It’s a general test to see if someone actually dislikes imperialism or if they just dislike the West and give a pass to non Western imperialism. I sincerely hope you’re the former.
It does become not a technical discussion but a philosophical one pretty soon. I’m not sure humans can accurately cite their sources either—yes they can be interviewed and claim X or Y as a big influence on their artistic work. But how do they know that? Do they know that more than an AI asked the same question?

Hi guys, first of all, I fully support Piracy. But Im writing a piece on my blog about what I might considere as “Ethical Piracy” and I would like to hear your concepts of it....
I get what you’re saying. But, do you get what I’m saying? If someone asks “why is X Y to you”, the answer “because it is Y to me”, doesn’t add much. Now, the OP asked for a reasoning for why it was ethical. You have pretty much said “fuck ethics, I do what I want”. And, as you very much point out, you do not care what anyone thinks. Which… I find weird to point out in a discussion forum. FYI, ethics tries to be a little bit more general than “anything I want is by definition ethical to me”. I’m sure we’re both happy to leave it at that.
