Merck needs to sell the new pill. Instead, Ivermectin, which is, as well, a product made by Merck, is not profitable because the patent expired long time ago. This is the biggest scam in the human history, and I would like to see people jailed, but won't, because the majority of the people still believe in Fauci, CDC and all the governments. And they can't do otherwise, they would have to admit they are just stupid, and no one will do that.

This is the worst and meaningless review that I have seen in a while. If you don't have time to make a review, don't make it. A warning is not an error, is a warning. You have interrupted the installation in your first attempt for no reason. You don't understand the reason behind that config file. This is a pure functional distribution, that means you can reinstall your entire system with a command, you can even take that config file (and other nix files) and build a specular system, with your own configuration, on another machine, in minutes.
And you can even have multiple system configurations at the time. You can switch between them, you can install different versions of the same package, you can rollback to a previous version of the system if you fuck up it. That's why NixOS and GuixSD are so different from the other Linux distributions. Please, next time RTFM.

@danieleverywhere132 as I said, the problem was the execution. UK should have joined EFTA and eventually EEA, instead our politicians did Brexit without establishing bilateral agreements. And still the UK is under a lot of EU regulations, because we have sectors we are not regulated by UK laws. The problem is not the Brexit, the Brexit was, imho, a good thing, considering where the EU is going. The problem is how everything has been poorly executed, how even the Conservatives embraced woke policies, how it has been decided to support Ukraine, both the war and the refugees, and how nothing was ever done to control immigration. So Brexit really didn't provide any benefit, just because it was not executed properly. Conservatives have done what we would expect from Labours, that is why they miserably lost the elections. For example the plan to bring the illegal immigrants to Africa was never executed because we still are under EU regulations. And finally, the problem is indeed legal immigration, because of a law that Conservatives did, allowing millions on Indians and Chineses in the country. If you study for just one year, any type of study, you are then allowed to remain in the country, and look for a job, for the following two years. So we had an influx of students from these countries (and eventually their families). This raised the housing prices.

Do you know that Romans made the first drainage in the VI century a.C.? Would you consider them a third world country? I guess so, at least compared to any modern country, we can consider Rome a third world country, right? But they built a drainage more than 2000 years ago. Impressive isn't it? Do you know that Japaneses cleaned the stadium, even if Japan lost the match? Let's see instead what these fuckin Indians do. Well, they don't have garbage trucks, but they have a lot of plastic apparently, why? They don't have money, they drink poisoned water and they use contaminated water (with excrements inside, their excrements) to clean their teeth. But they still fuck as mice to make children so they can drink the same water and living in the same condition. Do you call this love? I call this ignorance. I call this a disgrace. You know, even here, in Europe, many years ago, we didn't have garbage trucks, neither we had drainages, but you know what, we built them. We didn't end up like that. The way these people address the problem is ignoring that the problem exist.

Friend of mine, she is 44, she looks way older than me, she can't get a man. She used to be very attractive, she dated a lot of losers, now she is a cat lady: literally, she got the first one two years ago, and the second one this year. She has many friends like her. When we were both in our 20, after she broke up with one of my best friends, she told me: "When do we get in relationship?". She decided to visit me, suddenly, the day another friend of mine was visiting, so we spent the day all together. Then she left, and we never got into a relationship. That was 20 years ago. Now she would kill to be with me. The train left long ago baby...

Most company do Scrum + DevOps, which means there is a DevOps engineer as part of the team. This person is basically a system administrator with cloud knowledge, usually AWS, less frequently Azure and GCP. He can't write a program and he has no idea when to use DocumentDB and when DynamoDB. The issue with this approach is that only one person knows how to deploy and running the services. To deal with this issue, sometimes companies create a DevOps team, but this often does not work either, because it becomes a bottleneck.
Sometimes developers need very specialised tools, like Kafka, Flink, that DevOps simply can't scale or operate properly, due to the massive amount of configuration required. So for me it's way better if there are no DevOps at all.
Facebook instead employs SE in teams called Production Engineering Teams. Basically these are skilled developers with deep knowledge of the operating system and application they run. People who can debug the code. Facebook does not use Kubernetes or ECS or whatever, so these teams ensure a service, or a bunch of services, are up and running. But do not make mistakes, these are not DevOps, these are skilled Software Engineers.
What I personally did, as tech lead and CTO, was to create a platform. In small startups I created the platform myself, and then developer used it. My colleagues were surprised we were able to cut 80% of the code. In bigger companies I usually create a team, that I call R&D, but it's basically PE, that is responsible to build the platform.
I do not think one solution fits all use cases. But PE for me is better, because the entire team acquires knowledge of the platform using it. They learn how to deploy, how to make improvements to the platform itself. I am a huge fan of PE and monorepo.

Very slowly. Ukrainians are using civilian buildings as shelters, which makes it difficult for Russians to progress. They are forced to destroy entire cities, and they do advance, very slowly. Russia is using an impressive amount of ammunitions, rockets and missiles, like we never seen before, because RPGs are so effective that MTBs are completely useless in a guerrilla warfare. City by city Ukraine can go on for another year. It will take at least 2 months to take Kramatorsk, and probably 3 more to get Dnipro. Unless there is a massive Russian offensive, it will be a very slow war. And with the winter approaching, things will get even more difficult. If the USA, UK and Nato will continue supporting Ukraine, Russia will not make any considerable progress. I think it all depends by the midterm elections in US. If the Americans show Biden they are tired to support Ukraine, then Ukraine will be doomed in no time. My 2 cents.

I was Karate regional champion at the age of 13. Then my master left dojo due to a disagreement with the other master, because the last started to sell ninja stuff to the kids. The master who left was a 3rd Dan Black Belt, and he was fond of Karate. He went to teach in another city, and so I ended up my Karate experience, because I didn't like the other master.
Later on in life, in my mid 30, I picked up boxing. And there I learn how to fight, for real. And I realised that most martial arts are more a form of art than combat.
I have been in a few bad situation. In one occasion I have been threatened with a knife. I could not run away, because it was inside an apartment, so I took cover from the other side of the kitchen table, where the aggressor could not reach me, and I called the police with my mobile phone. The police asked me where I was and they told me to give my phone to the aggressor. After the police spoke to the aggressor, he decided to put the knife down and let me go. I kept my distance during the entire operation. I would have not engaged in a fight against someone with a knife, I would have used something like a chair, eventually, certainly I would not have fought the aggressor without something I could have used as a weapon.
Two other times I had to fight, and I overcome my opponents. The attempted robberies failed when the aggressors realised I was not an easy target. They were both scared of my reaction. Both the aggressors tried to hit me, but I was able to dodge and grab their neck, smashing the head against a wall. When their start suffocating, they begged me to stop. It was two scums, in two separate occasions. These people do not expect you to fight back. I could see terror in their eyes. Do not fuck around with people just because they are smaller than you.

I am a CTO, and basically never applied for a job. I always got a job because recruiters reached me out, internal or external, and in some cases, people who knew me, offered me jobs. When I applied, I was often not considered, even though I have a top notch CV, and 30 years of experience.
I think I never actually got a job where I applied directly. Never. I also failed very few interviews in my entire career, between 5 and 10. But really failed, because didn't do great, probably less than 5. In the other cases either someone more suitable was found, or someone they like better, which is totally fair.
I heard of people who failed hundreds and hundreds of interviews. That is crazy. If no one is really hiring you, you better spend time learning, or looking for a different employment.
I have interviewed hundreds of candidates, and in my last two rounds of interviews, not 1 in 4, but 80% of people used AI during the interview, even though I clearly asked not to do so.
Because of AI it became impossible to interview candidates remotely.

I don't think so. You know, everyone is saying the Russia is the only gas supplier, but Italy is now buying from Algeria, and selling to Europe. We'll see what is going to happen. There is a lot of speculation on the gas price, that is why the price is particularly high. Russian gas was cheaper, but there are alternative to the Norwegian gas, which is the most expensive. The only good news is that German parliament voted against increasing the support to Ukraine. Unfortunately they didn't vote to cancel the support. We will see what happens. In my opinion Russia needs to go all in and wipe out Ukraine completely, and fast. In two months they didn't take Bakhmut. Ukraine in a few weeks gained a lot of territory, this is a fact. Maybe at the cost of a lost of casualties, but things don't look good for Russia. Russia needs to mobilise 1 million of reservists not 300k, and conquer Ukraine. And moreover they need to kill Zelensky and his entourage. It's time that Russia shows his military superiority, because so far it didn't. It doesn't matter if Ukraine economy is fucked. They still have IT Services, which is one of the first line of revenues, and US is giving Ukraine money every month. Russia in the last 3 weeks lost a city after the other. So far, the Russia's military underperformed, bad time.

I am not happy about your work anymore. I found your reports to be the best, now I feel like I am wasting my time. Military Summary reports are way too long as well, but more informative. You both make too much speculations. You need to report as many facts as possible, without any bias, in the shorter time. 5 minutes video with all the updates you can find during the day, once a day. It's ok to talk about strategy and make predictions once a month, not every day. Looking at Russian sources, I often find interviews to soldiers, and relevant videos, neither of you report. I do understand you do not speak Russian, but he does, and it's a shame no one is sharing the things Western people can't see. And regarding the ammo depots you are totally wrong, they are indeed very important. I still have to see depleted Uranium projectiles to be used, probably because the Russians destroyed the depo where they where stored. In a conflict where ammo is the most relevant thing, every ammo depo destroyed makes a difference. My two cents. Take this as a constructive critique.

@demonwares Seasonic is a British brand and the factory is in Taiwan, as the headquarter. It is not from USA. The best supplier line they do, Prima Ultra Titanium, ships with a 12 year warranty. Corsair AX1000 is based on the Seasonic Titanium platform. For the most part, the PSUs on the market aren't made by the brands they sell them. The Corsair AX1600i, for example, is built by another manufacturer, which is not Seasonic, but it is one of the best PSU on the market, and it offers 10 years of warranty. Usually power supplies, and motherboards, fail after a few years due to the use of cheap capacitors with a short lifetime. The same happens when you buy an Asus board and a Gigabyte one. Good components cost a lot of money, but they are more efficient and durable. I fixed two Samsung display, dead one after the other in a 2 month time. Replaced the capacitors with the best I could find (for the use), they are still kicking now, after 15 years. I sold them to a friend 5 years ago, he is still using them. Often they put cheap capacitors because they want you to buy new hardware after a few years.

Did anyone notice that Russia is losing the war, and the 300k mobilised will not make any difference, because in the meantime Ukraine is scaling up the operation as well? Did anyone notice that the claims done by McDouglas, rather than Ritter, or The Duran, are almost never accurate? Also, did anyone notice that Russia doesn't have enough military equipment, and also its equipment is not anywhere good as the one provided by the NATO? Did anyone notice that any major city conquered by the Russians is falling in a few days, meanwhile Russia still isn't able to take Bakhmut? I am not pro Ukraine, neither I am pro Russia. I am an observer. I think Russia will have the only option to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. This is at least what I am observing. Of course, I might be completely wrong. Just speculation done observing the events.

I think in dry conditions, in the mountains, where wind is very common, Gore-Tex works. Otherwise no athlete would use it. It is not a bias, it just works. Also it does for daily use. I have an Arc'teryx shell, and it keeps me dry when it rains in the city. Yes, you may need to reapply the DWR once in a while, but it is not a big deal. It is a spray.
I don't use the shell often, because for light rain DWR is enough, you do not need Gore-Tex at all, so in 5 years I never had to reapply the DWR yet to my shell. I used the shell under heavy rain and snow, and it kept me warm and dry. That was in winter with multiple layers below, up to -10ºC.
In a rain forrest, there is nothing you can do. The humidity is so high that it is pointless using a rain jacket. It is ok to be soaked when there are 30ºC. But if you get soaked at -20ºC you die. So, it may not be the best product on the market anymore, but Gore-Tex is not a scam, not for winter shell jackets, at least.

@bbrebozo6417 but he might, you don't know. You didn't even think he would have invaded Ukraine, you didn't even know Ukraine was a country before, like the average American, you only know about America. So please shut up, I don't wanna die because of a nuke, just because you "don't see". You just don't mess with Russia, it's none of your business. You made this war happened, not Putin. Like all the others: Vietnam, Libya, Iraq. You invaded Afghanistan to fight terrorism, because 5 people hijacked a few civil airplanes. And you even lost that war. Just stop, you are not on top of the world, not anymore. Mind your own business.

The war in Ukraine has shown that ships are mostly irrelevant, tanks, as well, are no longer so important as they used to be. Right now the most important piece of equipments are: air defense systems, long range (the longer, the better) mobile artillery, multiple rocket launchers, drones (of any shape and sizes), missiles, especially hypersonic, helicopters, submarines (just for nuclear war), counter drone technologies (jamming, microwaves, net guns, high energy lasers), mines, guided bombs, etc.
Armored vehicles, tanks, ships are all too much vulnerable to drones and missiles, and even artillery. Even jet fighters lost their relevance nowadays. I think Japan went in the wrong direction. If I was the ministry of defense of a country, I would develop and build drones, missiles, air defense systems, etc. I would not spend a damn penny on ships and tanks, not even fighter jets. I guess Japan, in light of the current conflict, realised their plan is not smart at all.
By the way, Japan should focus on building a Gundam, not ships...

@breemee1234 sure for 1400 a month, instead of 2000 a day. I'm sure she'll do that. I have been studying my whole life, I'm a C level and I do not make the money this girl does in 5 days. She could easily be a webcam model, but she wouldn't make so much money. That's why she does the job. In a few years and with a few right investments, she could own the Target shop or have a few flats to rent. That's what is like in 2021, if you are pretty you don't need to study, because you'll find simps paying just to watch you on Twitch, you can sell picture on OnlyFans, you can just make so much money in a few years, the average man does in a lifetime. Because of that it's becoming impossible to find a pretty girl that doesn't sell, in any form, her body. And women speak about feminism and empowering... lol

Because they used systems produced, for the major part, by the US. Patriot has been proven the most effective. The European country they gave almost everything they could give, they need to keep something for themselves. These systems are extremely expensive, not just the systems, but the missiles that they use. Greece, for example, decided at some point to give its Russian system to Armenia, instead of Ukraine, not sure why. They had/have a bunch of S300. Take a long time to build these systems, and, especially the Patriots, need to be operated with the help of American professionals. Also, it is mostly useless, because weaponise further Ukraine, till the point it could beat Russia, would trigger a nuclear attack against Ukraine, and the country supporting it. Also Ukraine is facing a huge manpower problem. Russia won this war, it is just a matter of time for Ukraine to collapse.

But the war is not over yet. And if Russia needs 6 months to conquer Avdiivka, can you imagine how long it would take to get to Dnipro, and eventually conquer the East bank of the city? Siversk, Kramatorsk, there are so many cities yet to be conquered, and in the meantime Ukraine can prepare defenses, if they aren't in place already. It would take from 5 to 10 more years, at this pace. Unless there is a Ukrainian collapse, that I don't see coming any soon, Ukrainians can drag this as long as the West supports them. And it looks like the West has no intention to stop, at least till the Biden's administration is in charge. Germany decided to double down, and US will approve another huge package: the congress will negotiate a restriction at the border in exchange for another huge war package for Israel and Ukraine. Ukraine just received a lot of anti drone systems from Jordan, basically the US bought back these systems paying 5 times the original price, to give them to Ukraine. In addition Ukraine is about to receive or received already the entire anti air system that was once operative in Greece. The entire one, not just a few pieces. This war is not over, it can last several more years. It all depends by the US. We don't know if Trump will win the elections, and we don't know what he will do if he does win the election.

You do assume that the token is generated server side, which is not always the case. If your client is a mobile app, then it is much better if you generate the token on the client. The mobile app generates a new token for every new call, signing the token with the private key. The token would then be verified with the public key. The pair (private/public key) is generated during the sign up/sign in process. The public key is stored on the server, the private key in stored on the device keychain. No replay attack is possible in this configuration. Implemented for two different apps, first time 6 years ago. Most people creates a server side token, which is not as secure, because you can steal the token. And generally this token expires after days, otherwise you would have to issue a new token, and maybe ask to relogin every day, which is really annoying.

In the last place where I worked as CTO, I found we had over 1000 tests, but for each run a number of tests was failing, randomly. It took a long time to fix the broken tests, established the causes, and eliminate the useless ones, to have 100% pass. Broken tests, especially random failing tests, are useless, they make the entire test suite a waste. Also most of unit tests are a waste. People who do write tons of unit tests are noobs following trends, like the ones using TDD.

@benanders4412 You are overestimating Russia. There is not a larger force. They mobilised what they could. There is no equipment at the moment for a larger force, otherwise a larger force would have been mobilised to close the pocket in a shorter time. Putin is clearly going for the long run. There is a quantity of missiles the factories can produce in a month, a quantity of rifles, uniforms, vehicles and tanks. Russia is, after all, alone, Ukraine has the support of US and EU. This is what you all fail to understand. It is not over yet, do not believe to Ritter or Macgregor, they know as much as I do and you do. They are claiming Russia was going to smash Ukraine. The Duran for months keep saying Bakhmut was going to fail in a matter of days. Well, it is still in Ukrainians hands, but Kherson instead failed miserably. It is not over yet. There will be not a nuclear war, but there is the possibility that Ukraine, and only Ukraine will get nuked. This might happen if Ukraine manages to invade Crimea. Ukraine is not done yet, and Russia didn't win this war yet. It will, eventually, at any cost, even using nukes on Kyiv and Lvov. But not yet, not even close.

It would be interesting to know, where are the next Ukrainian line of defenses, because Russia will push for a while, till the Russians will finally reach the next Ukrainian fortified positions. Where those are located? We can expect Russia to stall there for a while, due to the fact it will take time to destroy the fortifications. If you can bring an analysis of the entire front, in the New Year, that would be interesting to watch. What is blocking the Russians to conquer Siversk for example, and so on, after Russia gets back Robotyne, where is the next fortified position? I mean, if there are kms of open fields, we can expect Russia to advance till the next trenches or cities. And not all cities are fortified. And Happy New Year!

Python expressiveness is very limited. It's easy to pick up, and because of that a lot of researchers and math geeks use it. The same happened with JavaScript. I first approached Python over 20 years ago, and I wasn't impressed. Then I had the opportunity to work with Python again 4 years ago, and I soon realised, not only how bad it is, but also how people don't really use it. People mainly write Python scripts, not real programs. It is a good scripting language, but I won't use it for any large a complex systems. First of all, his interpreter is one of the slowest in the programming world, second, because of its limited expressiveness, it's hard to design a complex system without code duplication. Python is nothing more than a good scripting language, and that's all.

Yet another confusing video, that demonstrates how little you know about the subject. What you speak about is not E2E. You do not perform E2E testing manually on a staging environment. End to end is an automated type of test that includes UI in the test. You automate the behaviour of a person that uses the system. This test is on top of the pyramid because it tests, automatically, the entire system, including the UI. These are the tests you write with Selenium (one of the options, if you are using Java). These tests should be executed automatically by the pipeline when you do a merge into. The pipeline creates the environment, and then it runs all the tests against it: unit, integration and e2e. You usually automate those tests that are most repetitive, so you do not have to perform these manually when you do blue/green deployment. The tests you do on staging, manually, are referred as UAT and OAT. OAT especially are used to be sure that what you are about to release is indeed working as intended.

This is true and false at the same time. The war had a huge impact on the US inflation, because the US didn't have that money, it was force to print it. Second, as a consequence of the war against Ukraine, Russia lost a lot of old equipment, that has been replaced with new one. Russia renovated factories, improved the logistic, and it is currently the most powerful and organised army in the world, which it was not, before this war. And finally, Russia learned how to fight a conflict in 2024, which is something no one had no idea. And all the US investment went in the wrong direction. The navy is practically useless, because with drones and missiles it takes a minute to destroy any ship, even the biggest ones. Tanks are mostly obsolete pieces of crap, because they have no counter against simple drones, or javelins. And Russia improved a lot its production of drones as well. So, what he said could have been true, but it is really not. I think Russia is now in a way better position it was before the war, because it will continue the production of armaments even after the war ends. The US fucked up badly, like it does all the time.

I want to add that in the interview published on HistoryChannel, Yevgeny Prigozhin, chief of Wagner, said they would need 3 years to conquer Dnipro. This means, most likely, that Russia will end this before it reaches Dnipro, at the border with Donbass. If, of course, Ukraine will be willing to negotiate.
A consideration needs to be made. This war costs a lot of money. The reason Putin didn't go all in are the following:
1) There are not enough equipment (tanks, vehicles, ammunition, rifles, uniforms, rockets, etc.) for a wide scale war, with over 1.5 millions troops on the ground. The current production can barely supply the actual needs. As you have noticed there is a rocket attack every two weeks only.
2) Equipment costs a lot of money to be produced. Putin said clearly he doesn't want to strangle the economy. He prefers to go on for years at this pace, rather than go all in, ramp up drastically the production, convert factories, etc. So he won't do that, unless he gets in a war against NATO or the survival of Russia is threatened.
3) Putin knows that he needs to have inspectors in the country, he needs to have some of his people in the Ukrainian government, otherwise Ukraine will reinforce the army, and it will eventually attack the Donbas in the future. He has been fooled once, I hope he will not be fooled twice.
4) For how long this war will go on depends by the US. Europe does what the US asks, so I won't even consider it. The USA just allocated another 10 billions today, or yesterday. As long as military aid is provided, and so is provided the money to run the public services, Ukraine will go on.
5) People do not believe me, but Ukraine can mobilise another million of troops. None of the people I know has been mobilised, only one to be fair. Of over 130 people who are all good for service. It is true that Zelensky changed the law, and now you can join the army when you are 16 years old, but only on voluntary base, as far as I know. You won't be conscripted otherwise if you are not 18. My ex colleague told me they can mobilise much more. He is from Ukraine. The meat grind is not a problem, for now.
6) The more the US supports Ukraine, the more this war will last. One of the reason Putin didn't use this 350k. some say 500k, troops in Belarus (I doubt so many) is that Putin is expecting a Ukrainian counter offensive. Russia needs men and equipment to handle it, whatever is going to be. Russia cannot afford another mistake like Kherson or Liman.
7) Finally, this war can end, unexpectedly, any time, through a negotiation.
8) Biden has still 2 years to go. It's a long time. US may continue to support Ukraine, unless Ukraine cannot be supported anymore, which is still not the case.

You truly need to stop with this "prelude of offensive", "massive offensive coming", and all this bullshit. Dima today said that Siversk will fall very fast. Russia has been trying to take Siversk for two years, I strongly doubt Siversk will fall fast. It will take months to take it. If the forces on the ground are the same, how can a massive offensive happen? For a massive offensive, Russia will have to mobilise and train half a million additional soldiers,, at least, and this only if Ukraine does not mobilise the same amount as well, and the support ends completely. Stop dreaming about a massive offensive, Russia is slowly gaining ground day by day, but unless there is a total collapse of Ukrainian air defence, there is no chance of a Russian big offensive, or a rapid Russian advancement, like the one we have seen when Ukraine reconquered Lyman and that part of the front. Certainly Putin is now legitimate to increase the war expenses, but you won't see anything changing tomorrow, it will take time.

Monorepo does not have to be mono. If you have three different products, with three different stacks, it does not make sense to have them in the same repo, unless they do share the same pipeline, they have the same dependencies and they do use the same stack. If you have a product with 20, 50, 100 services, then having 100 repos is a nonsense. Different products can have different repos. They will be fully managed by different people, they will use a different stack. If there is no common ground, then use different repos, but do not separate services of the same product in multiple repos, that is stupid.

After I read everything Dostoevsky has written, and I mean it, literally everything published under his name, I travelled to St. Petersburg to visit the places mentioned in his novels. For me, there is not a greatest writer than him. And one of his best books is The House of the Dead, that many didn't even read. Only Oblomov by Ivan Goncharov and Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol can be considered in the same league. Lev Tolstoj was, in my opinion, not as good as the aforementioned. The other authors who had an impact on me are: Hermann Hesse, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer. I read Thus Spoke Zarathustra when I was 15, but only later when I was in my early 20 I found Dostoevsky. Contrary to what Peterson said, I do not consider The Master and Margarita such a masterpiece. That said, La Divina Commedia by Dante Alighieri is most likely the greatest book ever. And the most beautiful short poem ever, unrivaled and insuperable, is L'infinito by Giacomo Leopardi. There is not such a thing as beauty as this poem.

I hope you will read my comment. I think this daily updates are ok, but personally I do not care too much about what happened daily in a conflict that is in its third year. A weekly update would be more than enough, for me personally. What you did not cover, and I have to read elsewhere, are the damages of the drone/missile attacks that Ukraine has done to Russia and Russia to Ukraine. These happen less frequently, and you do not even cover. I stopped following Military Summary because Dima is a fanboy, and of course I do not follow Denys, but I do not get from you the information I would like. I do not have a sense of progression with those daily updates. I would like to see where Russia was last week, or two days ago, and where is now, in relation to the advancement. I would like to know how many casualties on one side and the other in the last two weeks, etc. How many missiles used, drones, tanks losses, etc. This daily update is well done, do not get me wrong, but it is for hard core visitors. I would prefer a weekly recap with numbers, tables, comparison to the previous week, territorial gains, etc. Something more structured. Would you consider doing a weekly recap as I suggest?

PyCharm is just better. The Intellij IDEA platform is years ahead of anything else, included Visual Studio Code. But if you are used to vim or better, neovim, or if you are an emacs user, you'll find difficult to switch. I never liked vi, which I first approached in school 30 years ago. Whatever people say, I think the insert mode is just stupid. I didn't like emacs either. I loved Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++, Delphi, and all the Borland products, that's why I switched to JetBrains, because it is the new Borland. They do IDEs, neither vim or emacs are IDEs, and I am surprised by how many people don't use and don't know how to use a debugger. You can't be any good if you never use a debugger.

You need the taxes of 6 people to support a single soldier. This was recently declared by Zelensky. It is not how much you pay them, it is the fact you take someone who was contributing to the society, having a salary and paying taxes, you train him, even if for two weeks only, and immediately he does not produce anything, but he becomes a cost. Even if you do not pay him, you still have to provide him with food, clothes, and all the necessary. Who is going to pay for it? Supposedly US and EU. But the money ain't coming, so they can only replace the deads, but not recruit all the soldiers they would need. More soldiers means more ammunition, more rifles, mortars, shells, equipment. If what was provided was not even enough for the army they had, how do you think they can provide for twice the soldiers employed so far? They simply can't, unless the US and EU give them 300 billions. War is expensive. I know at least a hundred of Ukrainians, fit for the army, who didn't get call. They are still working in IT. They used to pay only 5% of taxes, now they pay 2.5%. They only recruit people who have no job or with low level jobs. Ukraine is not running out of men, just do a simple math and you will find out. Ukraine does not have the money to recruit the men. Women will not be enlisted, unless they volunteer. @@Satyricon42

I did some math, read below for the numbers.
According to Prigozhin he employed 50k prisoners, 20% of whom, died, which is 10k. If the prisoners are considered as part as Wagner (he said, he choose, so I suppose they are), and Wagner had 3.2 fewer losses than the enemy, it means Wagner lost about 15625 in total, 10k between the prisoners, and the rest between the mercenaries. So about 5625 mercenaries died.
If we assume the battle of Bakhmut started the 1st of August 2022, then the battle lasted, more or less 290 days. 50k / 290 is 172 casualties a day, only in Bakhmut. If AFU lost 50k soldiers in Bakhmut only, and those aren't considered in the report of the Russian Ministry of Defense, we can assume the entire AFU lost between 2/3 times more men, over the same period. That would make a total of 150k/200k losses in the last 9 months. To this we need to add 5 more months of combat, probably with less casualties, in proportion, let's say between 50k/70k to be conservative. Which would make the total of Ukrainians losses between 200k and 270k.
Assuming the Wagner ratio can be applied also for RF, Russia might have lost between 60k (including Wagner), and 115k soldiers.
So, if we play conservative, Ukraine lost 200k soldiers and Russia 60k.

The reality is that girls use Tinder, and other equivalent apps, and they look for very attractive males. Before men needed to have qualities, now they just need to be hot, because the male does not approach anymore, it's the female that makes the choice. If you are not attractive you won't match any girl. The reality is that a very small percentage of men, probably less than 5%, sleeps with all the girls.
I live in a big European city, and I consider myself a 5.5, a 6 on a good day. Since Tinder, I am having an hard time to find a partner, because I rarely match with girls, and they there is no the opportunity to know each other. It does not matter if the hot guy does not have personality, women don't care. Females do not change very much. I remember they were all in love with the same guy, at the same time. This does not change when they get older, they all want the same hot guys. Of course there are exceptions, but there is no point considering them, since they are exceptions.
In addition, women are now fully independent, even the ones with no talent have the opportunity to make money on OnlyFans. So they do not really look for a partner, or a provider, they look for hot guys only. They would consider a provider, only if particularly rich, but the most of us are not. And when I say rich, I mean that you need to drive a Ferrari, and have a big house in the city center.
The reality is that our value is particularly low, because we do not have much to offer. They do not need a provider anymore. They can just chat with random guys and setup a dinner date with a different one every day, and then ghost the guys. Your value is different in a different country. In Brazil, for example, I had more opportunities. In Africa I was like Brad Pitt, if you know what I mean. But in Europe, I am no one.
But do not worry, this is going to change with AI. Most women will not make any money from Twitch, OnlyFans, Fansly or webcam websites anymore. They will all be replaced by generative AI. You'll be able to create your dream girl. This will happen very fast, and it will be the end of feminism. Women will need again a provider, because many jobs will disappear. There will be an inflation of prostitutes at low prices.

@arthurtane6505 they are no better, Zelensky has 3.5 millions villa in Italy, just beside the villas of Russian oligarchs. The wife of a politician of the Zelensky's party, tried to leave the country with 22 millions in cash at the begin of the war. Ukraine also has the same oligarchic system there is in Russia. I have been in Ukraine multiple times, and I know a lot of people there. Also, you should know that meanwhile the people who work normal jobs pay regular taxes, programmers and people working in the IT pay only 2% of taxes. Before the war they were paying 5% only. In Russia all the people pay the same, 13%. In Ukraine instead there is such disparity. The middle class is made of people working in IT, who make more money than the programmers working in Italy, Spain, Portugal, even France, because they don't pay taxes and their salary are in line with the ones are paid in France. Source, myself, managed and hired over 60 people there. Also, this thing about the nazi is true. Please watch a movie called Brother 2 if you can find it. It's a cult Russian movie released in 2000. You will see one of the character saying Ukrainian nazis twice in the movie. It's not something new, since the movie is dated 2000, way before the Crimea invasion. Maybe you didn't know, but nazis burned alive other Ukrainians because they were pro Russia. This happened in several occasions, at least two documented. Once they closed over 40 people in a building and they set the building on fire. Nazi Ukrainians burned Ukrainians, just because they had a different point of view. This is even worse than nazism.

Putin can only afford an attrition war, that should be clear to everyone. That's why we didn't see the counteroffensive everyone was waiting for. Russia can barely keep up with the ammunition provisioning necessary by the current army. Now the situation is clear. One missile attack every two weeks or a month, because that's the time it takes to resupply stocks. And so with the artillery, the amount of shells Russia can restock is limited. I think Russia started to pile missiles, in fact they waited one month since the previous strike, instead of two weeks as usual.
Putin can go on for a long time at this pace, and he hopes Europe will give up at some point. On the other end, Ukraine has the time to fortify new positions, so for Russia will not be easy to take Kramatorsk. I don't think the war will ever extend over Dnipro. It will eventually end in Dnipro. The river is too wide.
To supply 1.5 millions men you would need to convert factories to produce weapons, like in ww2. Putin doesn't want to do that. Also Russia doesn't have Air Supremacy, because Ukraine still have too many anti air systems. So Russia can't employ its bombers to destroy the enemy lines, the only option is artillery. This is not going to change any soon.
Also Russia cannot nuke using nuke shells, for three reasons:
1) we don't know if the shells do still exist;
2) if you nuke you cannot advanced through that territory;
3) the public opinion will not be happy.
That's why Putin decided not to use nukes, and nukes will be used only if Ukraine tries something tricky in Crimea.
So the only option for Putin is to continue this attrition war, doing his best to keep the economy afloat, in the hope Europe will give up its support. But as I said, this war just started. The war will not end with Bakhmut fall, it will continue.

This is not exclusively the responsibility of your country. US always treated Russia as an enemy. At some point Putin even asked to join the NATO. Russia has been isolated. Even before the war, we couldn't have business with Russia. You are in this position because you got strong, you didn't submit to US. You are a great nation with a great history. And Putin is not a madman, Putin has many more reasons to invade Ukraine than US had to invade Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and Vietnam, just to name a few "special operations". Putin is trying to defend Russian values: the family, the culture. Look at what is happening in US, with this LGBT nonsense, the kids indoctrination in school, where they teach them that there are not 2 genders but many. Putin needs to preserve these values, at any cost. And don't think we have democracy in Europe or Canada, or US. Look at what happened with Covid. People have been forced to get vaccinated with an experimental therapy in Europe. In Canada a peaceful protest has been shutdown giving Trudeau special power to arrest people and freeze bank accounts. I can go on for hours.

First of all, let's talk about the escorts. It's 2023 and most of them work on the Internet. There are plenty of websites where you can find call girls, all over the world. Some girls have pimps, but it's a minority. Where it's legal there are agencies, like in Germany or in the UK. In Italy, for example, agencies are illegal. Also, it is super easy for a girl leaving the pimp. They have just to tell a client their situation, and the client will arrange for them a way out.
These girls, working in Vegas, are mostly freelance, they do not have a pimp, and they make a ton of money. It is 2023, and most of the attractive girls in the US can do camming and/or OnlyFans. Or they can do money on Twitch without getting naked. Escorts to that for money, because the pay is crazy. And some enjoy it, I know that for experience, since I have been with many all over the world.
Pimps to exist, and certainly there are girls who are getting used, but those are the ones on the street, not the high level escorts in Vegas. Hot girls just need to open an Instagram profile, and they will receive in DM dozens of proposals a day, to travel abroad, etc. They do not need a pimp, it's 2023.
Now, let's talk about the ex prostitute. She drives an expensive Lexus, runs an empty facility with government money, desperately trying to get one or two girls, just to show she is doing something. In the meantime she keeps getting an awful amount of money from the taxpayers to drive her Lexus. She definitely found her way to monetise her past. And now she is looking for private investors, not because she needs the money to expand the facility, that was empty, but because she likes the money.
She is not an escort anymore, because she can't be. No one would pay to be with her.

@cajunincense I never said Russia is running out of equipment, but the missiles attacks are now limited to the monthly production, otherwise Russia could strike every day, but it can't. Also Russia never had enough equipment for a 1.2 million soldiers, and it was not prepared for a war of such a scale. If you worked as executive in a company, you should know you do not scale
production in a matter of a day. So, even if you have the money to do that, and enough people, it takes time. Ukraine can't build anything, but we do provide weapons, and in US and EU we have the same issues with production. But there is way more money than in Russia, and our technology is superior. Satellites, Starlink. Russia can't even shut them down, not even if they wanted to. Starlink has 2000 satellites, so unless you have a laser technology or a special robot shop (which doesn't exist), you'll have to fire 2000 rockets. Russia is doing a war of destruction, producing and using thousands of shells and using artillery. And then once in a while a missile strike. They cannot advance easily due to the fact Ukrainians always know where the Russians are, because the superior US intelligence.

@hansjorgkunde3772 you don't know how many died in Kherson, and even if, I want to remember you that Russia lost twice the soldiers (if no more) than Germany during WW2, but it still won the war. And the reason it won, it's because it was able to produce new equipment, especially tanks, so rapidly, the German couldn't keep up. They produced between 18,000 and 22,000 tanks during the war, more than all the allies combined! Now tanks are not so important anymore. US has the biggest military industry in the world. Can Russia compete with that over a long time? We have already seen they are struggling against what has been provided to Ukraine. I doubt Russia will be able to win with conventional weapons if US and NATO keep supporting Ukraine. It has potentially the manpower, but not the necessary equipment. I am sure Russia is running is war industry at full speed, but I do not expect miracles. It would take take to scale the operation to 1 million or even 2 millions men. In this moment the casualties are irrelevant, because they are too low. We are talking about 500 casualties per day, in a bad day. It's nothing, Ukraine can go on for 3 or maybe 4 years at this pace. As long the USA are supporting the country financially.

@hansjorgkunde3772 Look, I worked with hundreds of Ukrainians, and I have been there several times. I am still in contact. I met the CEO of a software house that employs about 150 people just two weeks ago. Only the 2%/3% was called so far. 2 out of 100 men working in IT. The most people with military services working in IT haven't been called yet. There are 300k programmers just in Ukraine, plus other IT personnel. There is still a large pool of individuals who haven't been recruited. When they will tell me they all have been called, then it will be the point Ukraine is on the verge of collapse. Right now is not. And I do not think 300k Russians will be enough, because in the meantime EU and UK are training thousands of Ukrainians who will join the conflict. It is not as the colonel is saying, it is factual. Also there is the possibility that Polland will join the conflict, and the Romanians as well. Russia didn't win yet, and I am not sure if it can win with conventional weapons. At least I wouldn't be so sure as the colonel is. The Ukrainians are all ready to die for their country. All of them. Maybe they will all die, maybe they will be nuked. I guess we will see. But no, the conflict isn't over and Kherson is a major victory for Ukraine, as well it was the offensive in the North East. And yes, Russia is clearly struggling, no one can deny that.

@hansjorgkunde3772 I think all deaths have been always on Zelensky account, but his people support him, and they do with a punch of arrogance, and so much hate, so to speak. Many of them died, many others will before this war ends. How many it's hard to say, they will only surrender if they all get pinned down like it happened in the Azovstal factory. Whatever is going to happen, I don't think any good will come for the Ukrainians.
Putin cannot afford to retreat, for two reasons: first he promised to protect the people of the Donbas, second he will lose his face in front of the entire Russian population, and he will have to resign. So, as last resource he will use nukes. But has to be done before NATO gets into the conflict, before Poland joins the conflict. US will not retaliate with a counter attack, after all Ukraine isn't in the NATO. I think the next 3-4 months will be crucial.
I agree with what you said, but do not overestimate Russian forces. They do not have all those tanks, and yes, they potentially have a lot of men, but you need to equip and train them. I doubt there is so much equipment, so Russia needs time to go all in, probably more than one year.
Russia spent a lot of resources in ICBMs and air defense systems, The USA on the contrary spend money for more general purpose equipment, because they are involved in so many wars. So Russia would be well equipped in a nuclear war, but its tanks are old and so it is most of the equipment.
Anyway, we'll see what happens.

I am sorry, but you don't know if and when the Russians will be able to intercept ATACMS. The war is stalled, Ukraine and Russia cannot advance. Tanks are useless, they get immediately destroyed. We won't see any significative advancement till the next spring. Ukraine is indeed getting stronger, long range missiles and the F-16 will definitely make a difference, and their air defense is also getting stronger, because they are getting the entire Greek anti air defense system, on top of that, Germany donated another Patriot. They will not be enough to win the war, but both Putin and Zelensky need desperately an exit strategy. Contrary to what Ritter and Macgregor are saying, Ukraine is not done, and this war is far to be over.

@Drago-xo6sq intact army? Russia lost a ton of equipment, it also gave a ton of equipment to Ukraine, for free. There are no real data about the casualties, there are claims only. We do not know for real. No one knows, only Zelensky and Putin. Ukraine economy doesn't exist anymore, perhaps, but it doesn't matter, at least as long US is providing them enough money to run the country. What I see is that Russia is giving up all the territory, and it didn't make any major advancement in months. Russia had a superior artillery, but the situation changed with HIMARS and the other artillery provided by the NATO. It is not anymore the case. I don't jubilate, I observe. Things might drastically change in favor of Russia, or not. I am not pro Ukraine, neither I am pro Russia, I am for peace.

Well, I am not that far. I am based in the UK, but I was living for almost 5 months in Brazil and Portugal, and I had a single 40 litres dufflepack. I do own more than his stuff, but I decluttered a lot, and my goal is living with the content of my 40 litres bag. I rent apartments with all the furnitures, so I don't have to buy anything, and they need to have a washing machine. I have a lot of stuff I do not use, and I would like to get rid off. I gave away all my books, I own an old Kindle, and all my jackets (3 of them + a shell) are compressible and packable and they are all ultralight. I use a layering system.

@ianzen it's because the language is simple and limited. You can't really express yourself in Python. There are not interfaces, for example, or traits, or abstract classes (well, using a lib), not even information hiding. It's just a set of conventions that no one really follows. PHP, which is not a champion, is a much more difficult and expressive language. It's about the syntax, it's just there aren't many way to use it. Take C++, is so powerful that you can write the same code in 10 different ways. Using templates, composition, multiple inheritance, etc. But to do that, you need to master the language. JavaScript is mainstream for the same reason, because it's easy and limited. People learn it quickly and get stuck with it. That's why we have that shit of Node.js.
2
-
random phallus dear Phallus, it's pretty clear to me that you don't know the difference between an interface and an abstract class. ABC, which I know and I have used, extensively, is a module, it's not a language construct. Interfaces are not even implemented because Python supports multiple inheritance, which Java, for example, does not. Again, you are confusing the concept of property with the one of information hiding. Have you ever heard about private, protected and public? Maybe it's time that you go back and study some C++. Then we can talk.

@deepspace9043 if you speak about a specific technology, CloudFront, then you need to know how it works, otherwise do not mention it.
No one would ask you how to implement a CDN, that was not the purpose of the system he was asked to design. He made a mistake when he said he needed to cache the files. Just say: to serve the files I would use a CDN. Then, if you know one that you would use, mention it, and say how it works, to show that you know what you are talking about, otherwise do not mention it, and do not dive deep into details unless you have been asked to.
To give you another example, the guy said he would have used PostgreSQL (if I remember correctly), but of course there are many other choices, especially if you are on AWS. As the interviewer I would have asked why PostgreSQL and not Aurora or DynamoDB. In the moment you become specific, you may be asked more detailed questions about your choices.

@arthurtane6505 I doubt that Ukraine will see a single penny. The people, at least will not see a penny, because the level of corruption in Ukraine is the highest in Europe, second to no one. And Zelensky is the first between the corrupted individuals.
The oil might be cheaper, but I still pay 2.5 times what I was paying for the electricity bill. Please explain me why, since I live in a country that doesn't even buy gas from Russia, it's mostly coming from Norway, and Norway gas pass through UK, so UK made even more profit due to this crisis.
Also explain me why we pay so much, and we have an inflation of 10%, and British Gas, as well EDF and all the energy companies, are making incredible profits.
Russia exported over 8.2 million barrels of oil per day in 2022, up from approximately 7.8 million barrels daily recorded in the previous year. It doesn't look so bad to me. And they just signed a contract with India, making Russia the second biggest India's oil supplier after Iraq.
I don't know about the gas, but the winter is about to come, and Germany is begging to have Russian gas, because without gas the factories can't work and the production will stop. France doesn't care, they have a lot of nuclear power, UK neither, since it doesn't buy from Russia, but Germany, Italy, Spain, etc. they do all need gas.
Will see what happens, I wouldn't be so sure as you are. The world is a big place.

@ProjectHyena Of course, that's the way they hold the cities, and that's why the Russians are shelling the cities. Russians have been very careful not to cause any collateral damage, but it's impossible when your enemy is using civilians as cover. War crimes happened on both side, because soldiers are not all saints, and war is war, rules don't matter too much. But what is happening in Ukraine is even worse. I have seen on video Ukrainian people living in the Donbass, saying that when Ukrainian soldiers left, they set on fire their homes to create a diversive. The homes of their Ukrainian brothers. And it has been years that Ukrainians are shelling civilians in Donbass. There is a documentary on the Vice YouTube channel about Crimea, where people interviewed before the Russian takeover say clearly they wanted to be liberated. In Donbass there were not so many pro russians like in Crimea, but I can assure you many are, and possibly now they are the majority.

Honestly I think you are so naive. Putin doesn't care how long this drag, he doesn't want to go all in because it is not necessary. With the current forces on the field, and the Wagner musicians, Russia is basically destroying the Ukrainian army piece by piece. The original equipment is gone, and everything that has been given by NATO so far as well, with the exception of the equipment that still need to reach the frontline. Why you should mobilise 1.5 millions troops and do a massive attack, considering you don't have even enough artillery for such a massive offense, when the current force is enough and it's clearly winning? Your comment is naive, you are young, but you really don't understand much about strategy. Russia didn't even have enough rifles to equip 1.5 millions soldiers. Putin is slowly building up, without destroying the Russian economy. It has increased production of all military equipment, including aircrafts, tanks, etc. But especially ammunition. It has also reduced the use of rockets and missiles, to increase the stock. Even though it is still winning. The Ministry of Defense reports an average of 500 KIA every day, and you can add 500 more in Bakhmut. Ukraine is probably losing 1000 men a day. Plus the wounded. Since the Russians modified the software of S-300 and S-400, also the Himars have been ineffective. Do you think a few Abrams will make any difference? They can be destroyed with anti tank guns built in the '60.

So boring with this "large scale offensive". 3 years and you still do not understand that Russia will keep advancing slowly, unless Ukraine collapse (for real not as you said many times). Ukraine is still strong. You will see a change if and when the US will pull off. Europe will continue to support Ukraine, and since they provided about 40% of the equipment, directly or indirectly, this war will continue for a while. Unless there is a truce. The peace proposal is not a real peace proposal, because it does not address the root causes of the conflict. It is just a way to freeze the conflict. Ukraine will keep getting trained, they will build military factories, train more soldiers. Russia will continue to invest heavily in armaments. Finally in 5 years, with a weaker Putin, the conflict will eventually restart. Russia only hope to close this conflict, for once and for all, is a progressive Ukrainian collapse, which will only occur if the US pull out. Trump was questioned by a reporter about the possibility to stop aid to Ukraine. He said that he thinks we'll have a deal, and in two weeks we'll have an answer. So, he did not take a position yet on the matter.

There will not be any significative advancement till summer. With the injection of 300k soldiers, forces are now on pair. Russia will have to mobilise 500k more or even 1 million, but for that to happen Russia needs to produce and/or buy more equipment: rifles, uniforms, etc. Russia also needs more vehicles and tanks to support those units. Russia is clearly buying time, and whoever follows Scott Ritter or Douglas McGregor, well, they are both wrong. My bet is that this war may end up with two atomic strikes in Ukraine the next Autumn, if Ukraine manages to destroy the Crimean bridge and invade Crimea. And the strikes will be on Kyiv and maybe Lvov, not on the army. I don't see Russia capable to mobilise enough troops any soon, due to the insufficient production and the empty stocks. Russia never prepared for such a long war, they don't have millions of uniforms or even rifles. Not enough tanks either, or vehicles. Maybe Putin strategy is to hold the ground as long as possible, till Europe can't support anymore Ukraine, but this is risky, because it can also work against him. I guess will see, but do not expect anything significative this winter. Russia will not conquer half of Ukraine, we'll not see a major offensive, we'll not see an attack from multiple fronts. For that to happen, Russia needs 1 million more men, which is impossible to equip as of now. Russia certainly is now going full speed with the military industry, but it will take way more than 6 months to get what they need to equip so many people. Probably it won't happen at all. I do not think you can scale up Kalashnikov production fast enough. They were ordered 150k rifles in 2019, 50k per year. Imagine making 1 million in a year. It's just impossible. Maybe they can scale up to 100k or 150k, three times more, but they cannot scale to 1 million per year, it is just impossible. For that to happen you would need to be in ww2 mode, where all the people are involved. It's unlikely to happen. Russia primary objective is holding the ground long enough to have Ukraine on the negotiation table.

I want clarify something about immigration. Most people thinks these 2.5 millions are illegal immigrants. Well, they are not. The illegal are 250k maybe less. Those are all students from China and India. They made a law in 2021. The law basically let everyone who wants to study in the country, for at least an year, to come, and then you can stay for 2 years and look for a job without the need for a sponsorship. Now, there are not 2.5 newly built homes in the UK, so all these people are in a competition with you to rent a property. That is why the cost of rent increased 12% a year on average, at least in London.In the case of my own studio, where I was living, 40% in 3 years. Rent prices were actually getting done in 2021, then the rich decided to make this law so they could make money in two ways: through private schools, and renting properties. Thanks to the Tories for this gift. This makes impossible living in London, because rent is now to expensive, unless you make a lot of money. In fact I left, and I will return only if I get a job where I am paid at least 150k a year.

@stuglenn1112 I know that very well, this is clearly a proxy war, and the outcome will depend on how long and how much US and EU will support Ukraine. But things aren't looking good for Russia. Too many mistakes have been done by the Russian generals, tactical and strategic mistakes. No one really knows the truth about the casualties. But I want to remind you that Russia lost 18 millions of people alone, and axis lost between Japan and Germany just over 6 millions during WW2. Indeed allies still won the war. So the casualties aren't a great indicator, because Ukrainians are determined to fight till the last man, Russians are not, at least not at this stage of the conflict. If this war goes on the long run, let's say 2 or even 3 years, the outcome is unpredictable. US alone spent only 0.5% of the GDP to support Ukraine so far. That was enough, with a side contribute from Europe, to obtain major victories on the field and regain territory. Also Ukraine has a better intelligence than Russia, because they have Starlink, they can communicate coordinates between command posts very quickly. Allies equipment is, generally speaking, superior to the Russian equivalent. Russia invested a lot in nuclear weapons, because it's part of their doctrine and because that is a deterrent, but now they are fighting a conventional war, and S-500 or BrahMos don't provide any value. They tanks, the T90 don't stand a chance against the modern Javelins. T-14 Armata can't make a difference, because they have just a few. Also the number of tanks they have has been heavily overestimated. They barely have 3000 tanks, not 15000 like claimed on so many websites. I was thinking Russia could win easily, but now I am not sure anymore. These 300k men mobilised aren't going to be enough, because Ukraine will mobilise other men, that EU and UK will train. It's possible that Ukrainians will get Western tanks, like the Leopard, less likely jet fighters. We'll see what German will do, but we'll see how much pressure Europeans will put on their governments to put an end to the support. We'll see how the winter goes, the inflation, the gas and electricity prices. There are a lot of variables. Putin thinks he can win in the long run, but this could be another mistake, a fatal one.

I read almost all Freud's publications when I was a teenager. And many other authors in my early 20. Freud helped me a lot to understand myself and the others. Still today, I believe no one else but Freud provided such a contribution to the understanding of humans behaviours. Sexuality is and always will be our primary driver, and it's true this is what is driving our development since we are very very young. Neuroscience is at a very early stage. I would say neuroscience still didn't achieve any significative discovery, especially if you compare it with computer science, physics, math or chemistry. It's probably very difficult to understand how our brain works, because we don't have yet developed the tools we need to debug it, and reverse engineering. And these tools will probably not come from neuroscientists. We'll need brain engineers, the equivalent of hardware engineers for the brain, but we are still not there yet. Jung meh, a lot of smoke, nothing concrete, really.

Dear doctor, data confirms that vaccination is useless, especially in those subjects who already had the infection. Data also confirm that restrictions based on your vaccination status are anti-democrats and dangerous, and I'm glad there are protests in all the countries these rules have been applied. And, if we do analyse the data, we can see it is totally useless taking the vaccine if you are <40. The daughter of a friend of my mother is in a coma because the vaccine, and many people experience adverse conditions after they made it. Even people I know personally. And if you are a young adult, the risk of dying because the vaccine is basically the same of dying because the virus. The vaccine fraud is now confirmed by data. This vaccine is not effective. There are working drugs agains the virus. All we need is a protocol to give these drugs to the people who have symptoms, immediately. The drugs work, they do prevent hospitalisation, they are cheap, they have been on the market for decades. 95% of the people died because COVID-19 are 85 years old. Official data from Italy. In Sweden 95% were in healthcares. STOP this nonsense now.

According to Ukrainian constitution he will be President till a new one is elected.
Most legal experts interviewed by DW believe that the Constitutional Court should settle the debate about the president's powers and possible elections. "Only the Constitutional Court is authorized to interpret the constitution and verify whether other laws comply with it," emphasizes Andriy Mahera.
However, Constitutional Court judges cannot independently review such important issues. Moreover, not everyone can initiate this procedure before the Constitutional Court—only the president, the government, the Supreme Court, a group of 45 deputies, or the parliamentary commissioner for human rights can do so.
So far, none of them has done so. At the end of February, the newspaper "Dzerkalo Tyzhnia" reported, citing its sources, that Zelensky's office was working on a request to the Constitutional Court but did not dare to submit it independently.

@VediViciVeni Ukraine just announced days ago another mobilization. I can assure they can mobilise easily 300k more men. What Russia did is not going to be enough. Russia needs more men, but I think as of now they don't have enough equipment. Not enough rifles, jackets, whatever is needed. There is simply not enough for 1 million, that's why Russia didn't mobilise 1 million. Russia wasted so much ammunition and tanks during this war, it's incredible. And the quantity of vehicles and tanks given to Ukraine is outstanding. They failed completely. No one can say that Russia did or it's doing good. They still didn't take Bakhmut after I don't know how many months. I though Russia could win this war easily, but now I am not so sure anymore. On the contrary, I start to think that Ukraine might win if US and Nato keep this level of support. Casualties are not relevant. Russia lost twice as much as Germany during WW2 but it won the war. A country like Ukraine can lose millions of soldiers before they give up. 2 millions at least. But at this pace it will take 10 years to get there, and Russia doesn't have all this time. Russia is losing all its military equipment. They just lost 4 ships on a single attack. They lost two pipelines to transport gas, the main Crimea bridge took a bad hit, and it will take 10 months to fix it. Russia is losing this war, it is losing the war against time. They thought they could take Ukraine in 15 days. As of now, Russian chances of winning the war are 50/50.

I am not here saying you are wrong, since you seems very informed. But Anton, the guy mentioned, probably didn't have the money to buy new, so he got an abandoned one in Tokyo. YouTube has probably paid for the renovation, and so he bought another one, who will probably rent as AirBnB. The guy is a model, he probably knows a lot of people, and most likely he rents the property to people he knows, so he can rent it out for how long as he wants. The guy is fluent in Japanese, he is not your average Joe. I would personally adventure in something like that without speaking Japanese.

The proposal to me, looks like a way to freeze the conflict. Ukraine does not want to accept any deal, which is fine. On the other hand, Russia will be happy to continue the war, especially if the US ceases to support Ukraine, both militarily and financially, even if sanctions will continue. Ukraine will reach a point, in one year, where they will unconditionally surrender, and Zelensky will end his theatric performance. Unless Brits, France, and Germany go all in. If they do, it is the end of NATO and the EU will also cease to exist, because Italy or Spain will not go to war against Russia. People will rebel against the government. Funny that Macron, who lost the elections, and Scholtz, who does not have the favour of his people, are both pushing for the war. These "leaders" do not represent the people of their country, they do follow the WEF agenda. They have to go, in a way or another.

What did you say about Delphi is not true. First of all it was called Delphi, not Visual Delphi. It was from Borland and it has been created by the same guy whose created C#, Anders Hejlsberg (still in Microsoft and creator of TypeScript as well). Delphi was eating Visual Basic market and sold really good, till Microsoft released C# and Borland decided to focus on enterprise products (ALM), instead of continue its work on tools for developers. Which eventually destroyed the company, acquired later by Micro Focus. JetBrains is nowadays what Borland was in the '90. Borland could have been still here if the CEO, Tod Nielsen, didn't make the mistake to go enterprise. You are right, anyway, that the product was a dead end, like Ruby.

The best way to be happy in life is not having dependencies. Not having an husband or a wife, or just even a house. I learned this the hard way. I am happy when I rent a furnished apartment that I do not own, because I do not have to worry about anything but paying the rent. I am happy because I can live with the content of a 40 liters backpack. I am happy because I have enough money in the bank that gives me enough security in case I lose my job, or if I want to start a new venture on my own. I am happy when I am healthy and I exercise. I like to spend time with other people, but not on social media. I like to be with people in real life, sharing experiences together, doing sports together, not drinking alcohol or smoking like the most people do, just to be socially accepted. I am happy when I can spend most of my time by myself, and there is no one bothering me. I am happy because I do not have to care about a child. I am happy not to have a miserable marriage like most people do have, and many of my friends. I am happy I do not have to go through a divorce. I am happy I do not have to have a kid with major health issues, or mental problems. Because I do not have a kid, I do not need to worry about it. That is the life I have chosen for me, and that is what makes me happy. Not having responsibilities and having a lot of time for myself, to do the things I like.

Illegal immigration is not the problem of this country. The problem is legal immigration. The problem is a law Johnson did in 2021 that let everyone to get into the country with a student visa, and then been able to stay in the country without any sponsorship. We have seen a proliferation of Indians (especially) and Chineses, so that the cost of housing is growing up exponentially. Only last year we got 750k new immigrants in the country. Legal immigrants. London is now an Indian colony, isn't it?
Labours are even worse. If they do win the elections the country is doomed. I don't think there is anymore difference between left and right, divide and impera. They want to make us believe there is a difference, but there is not. In Italy, in fact, it happened the same. The right won, and then they kept implementing the globalist agenda.
The UK got out of Europe, but we are still taking order by the same people. It was all for show. What a disgrace. I will vote Reform, if that helps.

It is not just your generation. I am from the Generation X, and I have been screwed as you are. Juts because I am a C level I can afford to live alone, but I would be not able to do so, if I was a simple software engineer. I live in London, and prices are crazy, especially to rent a flat. I do not know how people cope, and I am not surprised why so many girls do Only Fans. Life is much easier if you a girl nowadays, men are desperate, they cant' have a relationship anymore, they have nothing to offer. Either you are a gigachad, or you cannot find a decent girl anymore. Dating app destroyed relationship, it is all about the way you look. This society is completely fucked up.

I have been recently hospitalised. I will post my story on LinkedIn. I will probably have to go back to Italy to be cured, because here it is impossible. To make it short, there are plenty of nurses, and they do nothing, they play on their phone all the time. There are people just updating the records on Patients Know Best. Last time I was at the ER, I have seen between 12 and 16 computers with people doing nothing but updating records. 3 junior doctors in the entire ER, who should be supervised by a senior who was not there. It took me 15 hours to see a doctor. Fifteen. They hospitalised me for 3 days, then they let me go, with the promised to call me 2/3 days after for the surgery. They never called me. 10 days later I was able, after a number of calls I did, to obtain a phone consultation with the team who does the procedure. I was on the waiting list for that procedure for over one year and half. I have been referred 3 times. And I was in ER with excruciating pain. None of this was taken in account. But they sent me the survey twice, and they had me taken one in the hospital. Am employee was going around with his tablet, asking people to fill in the survey. That is how we spend our money. My money, yours. It is a disaster. I will do everything I can not to pay taxes anymore in this country.

@markaoslo5653 I think I got Covid when I was in another country, but I didn't get tested because I didn't know how to get tested or which procedure I had to follow. It was Christmas, but there it was summer, and I got fever for one day, cough and then pain my joints. I never got a flu in summer in my entire life, so I suppose it was Covid. If you get it in UK, you need to call a number. They will tell you to self isolate and they are not going to give you anything, because there is no protocol. If your illness becomes serious, you'll get hospitalised. And then you may die, because it's already too late. Even if you want to cure yourself you can't, because for the meds you need a subscription, and your doctor will not prescribe you anything.

It is a bit different. You should read some books. Stalin was an evil genius. He knew that he could not control a territory, if all the people living in that territory were hostile. So, he mixed the local population with people from all over Russia. He sent Ukrainians in other parts of Russia, and he sent Russians in Ukraine. As a result you have a country, Ukraine, which is partially inhabited by Russians. Crimea, Donbass, those are predominantly Russian regions, with Russians people, in fact they do all speak Russians, meanwhile in the West of Ukraine, they do speak Ukrainian. Ukraine, instead of providing a degree of independency to these regions, decided instead to discriminate the Russians, the Russian language, and everything that is Russian. Moreover they didn't respect the Minsk agreement, and they regularly shelled the Donetsk for 8 years. Imagine if you were doing something like that in Florida or New Mexico, against the Spanish speaking people. Now, the people of Crimea, and most of the people living in Donbas, want to live in a state which is part of Russia, not Ukraine. Russia will liberate these territories, and hopefully will completely demilitarize Ukraine, and put in command a friendly government, like it used to be, before Poroshenko.

This video makes no sense. The UK passport is one of the best passports in the world, because the UK still pays some of the best salaries. If you are a highly qualified professional, in the UK you make more money than everywhere else in Europe, with the exception, maybe, of Switzerland. It does not matter how much it costs you. It took me 7 years to get citizenship in the UK, and I probably spent 1700 GBP to get it. Was it worth it? Absolutely. The best passports are not the one that let you travel Visa free in 3 or 5 more countries. Who cares. The best passports are the ones that let you work in countries where you can make a lot of money. Like any European passport, the UK passport, the US passport, Switzerland, Australia, Singapore. Those are the best. Then you have some Latin American passports. If you have the Argentinian passport you can work in Argentina or in Brazil, for example. We are not all millionaires, and if you are, what the heck does make 30 pound of difference?

Our future is to dissolve European Union, which is a corrupted entity, that needs to disappear. We can have free trade between countries, there is no need to have a European Union, or the Euro for what that matters. So every country can decide about its energy policy, how much milk it can produce, what to do in term of migrants, where to buy oil and gas, how much money should be allocated to the military expenditure, etc. We need to take back our sovereignty, and abandon this absurd communist project called EU.

That's really interesting. My diet is mediterranean, I buy only quality food, but I eat chocolate in abundance, not supermarket sweeties, just very good chocolate, and I eat cheese as well, quite often. I look 15 years younger than I'm. I can't drink coffee, I don't drink milk either. When I look at my friends, of my same age, well, it looks like we are from two different generations. I always spend money on good food (not necessarily healthy), and I try not to eat much processed food. I rarely eat fried, and last time I was in a McDonald's was 20 years ago. I don't drink any alcoholic beverages, neither liquors, I use wine only for cooking. I have no more than 5 glasses of wine in a year. No beer, no soft drinks, only, rarely juice. I drink water, no tap water, and I'm quite picky on the water I drink. I used to eat twice a day, now I eat once a day, but I started to lose weight, so I will eat again twice a day.

@sunnywu2464 you probably didn't learn math at school. If you make $1000 a month, and you spend half of it in rent, 300 for the car, 200 for the bills, you can't afford food, so you use your credit card and you are in debt. Argentina did that for the last 90 years. Now Milei said enough, no more national programs the government can't afford. Now Argentina earns 1000 and it spends 1000. The first step to reduce inflation is getting out of debt. If you keep printing money to pay national programs you cannot afford, then you end up creating inflation. It is what is happening in the US right now, with the money given to Ukraine. The difference is that pesos are trash, meanwhile the dollar is the currency used for any international trade. That is why it does not collapse, and that is why the US is so dominant. Milei did the right thing, but you can't fix in a day 90 years of damage caused by peronism.

If, as you say, Ukrainian army collapses, which is possible in one year and half time, then Ukraine would have to surrender. I don't see Russia conquer those territories, I think AFU will collapse before they do, eventually. But it is also possible that Russia will have to fight the Brits, and also French soldiers, Polish and Germans, in a war against not NATO, but a few representative countries. But maybe that will be a nuclear war. We'll see.

I bought an Osprey Atmos, 55 l, and I went on a trip in Guatemala. I brought with me so much stuff I didn't use. The pack was 22 kg. I learned to go ultralight. Now I travel with a 40 l, ultralight duffel pack, about 500 g. I don't carry more than 12 kg, including the laptop, even if I stay away for 6 months. That's all I need to live. My duffel pack has a single big compartment, then I use ultralight pack cubes. Don't bring what is not necessary essential, no matter if it's for hiking or travelling, just take what is strictly necessary. If you are unsure you would use a gear, leave it at home. Minimalist and ultralight changed my lifestyle completely. Decluttering made me happy.

Ukraine can't get 200k more men through voluntary conscription. but they can mobilise at least another 2 millions. As long as they get support from NATO, Ukraine will continue this war. Remember that Russia lost more than anyone else during WW2, but it managed to win the war, even if it was fighting against the Germans and the Japaneses at the same time. Ukraine is still attacking, and even if very slowly, it's regaining territory.
This war isn't over like Ritter and Macgregor wants us to believe. And Russia isn't winning either. Ukraine will get 200 F-16, the entire Greek's air defense system, which is a lot about 95 vehicles, between radars, launchers, etc. There are about 100 parked Leopard I somewhere in Italy, ready for the transfer to Germany. A Swiss private company bought them, and it was trying to move them in Germany for repairs, but Switzerland is a neutral country, and this is illegal, so the operation has been blocked, for now.
Thing is, Ukraine is still heavily supported, and it will be till the end of Biden's term, at least. That is more than one year. When I read people saying "final attack", "it's over", I think they do not know what they are talking about. Dima didn't get one thing right, and Weeb Union as well. Macgregor and Ritter said it was over one year and half go. Well, it is not.

We haven't yet found aliens because no one can travel faster than light, and they all are light-years away from us, not because they do not exist. The probability we'll get in contact with a species of alien capable to travel in space is ridiculously low, I would say near zero. But I'm sure we'll find alien life on other planets, maybe even on Mars. There are no aliens on the earth, and no one ever visited us. What they are telling you are all lies. The consideration about the language as a barrier to the communication is also ridiculous. If a species is so advanced that can travel at the speed of light, if aliens can live thousand of year, or they even found the secret of eternal life, then their technology certainly enable them to understand us in a matter of days, just listening to our conversation, and observing our behaviours. Lee Cronin has a very naive opinion, I'm afraid. But the whole subject is indeed irrelevant, since no one would ever visit us, and no one did. You are all delusional.

Funny like these people talk bad about what Labours will do, when the law to let student inside the country, with their family, has been done by Conservatives. Conservatives need to disappear, we'll see what Reform can do in the next 5 years. I do not think Labours can do any worse than Conservatives. Conservatives have implemented wokism in schools, they are responsible for the massive legal immigration, meanwhile they were telling us the problem was the illegal immigration, they are responsible for not having free trade with Europe, that after Brexit was the first thing to implement. Conservatives have given children puberty blockers, Conservative killed free speech. Labours would not do any better, they will be implementing the WEF agenda already established by the Conservatives. This is happening almost everywhere in Europe.

Ukraine has 11 million of men of age between 16 and 39, at least 9 millions fit for combat. They lost 300/400 thousand men, they can replenish easily. Only 3 people I know have been called, and I know over 100 men in Ukraine. This war just started, and Russia can't hold. Russia needs to step up the game. There are around 700 casualties a day, which makes 21000 a month, 250k a year. Ukraine can go on for years, as long is supported. And if Ukraine advance, even slowly, they will keep supporting it, at least till there is a new President in the US. @steveiliev8912

I don't think Einstein is wrong, I think quantum physics applies only at atomic level, therefore it's completely irrelevant when we are talking about objects, planets or galaxies, and so are the effect it might have on these entities. That's why I don't think Einstein will be proven wrong. Also I think the String Theory is a complete nonsense. It's an attempt to shape the universe using a mathematical framework, rather than intuition. The beauty about Einstein is that his theory is coming from an intuition. Einstein proved his own intuitions with math, on the contrary of the String Theory, which is not an attempt to prove a theory, but instead is a way to find a mathematical framework that works with what has been already proved, and as a consequence generates new discoveries (to be proven) that are against any intuition, and aren't elegant. That's why it has been a failure and it will never work or be proven correct.

JavaScript is literally the worst programming language out there, every compiler designer or languagist could tell you that. The fact you are at ease with JavaScript because it's the only programming language you know, does not mean it is great. You are a fuckin noob @ThePrimeTime. For me all JavaScript programmers are retarded, like people who consider good McDonald's. You are just a bunch of ignorant and you are a cancer like JavaScript itself. And for your record, also Python is a shitty language. PHP is not any worse than Python. PHP has an amazing standard library, and even though PHP has been designed by Rasmus Lerdorf, who knew nothing about programming languages, like Brendan Eich and Guido van Rossum, PHP evolved and became a great language, for what it does. JavaScript, instead, sucks even for what it does, that's why TypeScript was created, to replace it. Please close this channel because you are an idiot.

That is not true, Russia is adapting, and all the logistic mistakes are a thing of the past. Also the casualties along the Russians are way lower than the Ukrainian ones. But still Russia cannot advance, and it is instead forced to retreat from its own fortified positions due to the fact Ukraine constantly move his artillery and can shot deeper and deeper on the Russian lines. This has been said recently by a Russian general. It is not, like the youtubers think, a trap, it is just that Russia can't cope, because apparently Ukraine ove constantly the artillery. Also Russia clearly does not have enough air defense systems, and the attack at Sevastopol confirms that. Putin himself said Russia need to build more air defense. Russia is giving all it can, but it is not enough. To win this war it needs to step up the production furtherly, but this would require new factories that are not in existence. The same can be said for Ukraine of course. The truth is that this war is stalled, and Russia would love to negotiate. Look at what Lavrov said today. @Commanderstevo

@pppLT19 maybe you didn't hear about the partial mobilization. Over 300 thousands men are joining the troops currently in the field. And maybe you have no idea of the quantity of vehicles, tanks, equipment they sent over the last 2 weeks. Maybe you are not even aware that over 30% of the power station in Ukraine have been destroyed or damaged, and the rest will follow. Russia did its best to reduce civilian casualties, maybe you didn't notice that. I am against the war, but moreover I am against any form of support to Ukraine, with the exception of humanitarian support. Russia is not a threat for NATO, and we need its gas in Europe. Ukraine needs to leave the Donbas, because like Crimea, they don't want to be in Ukraine. Have you been in Ukraine? I have been 10 times. It's a shithole. And when you live in a shithole, and they oppress you because you are Russian, then you want your own independence. I hope you can realise it.

@b.n.d.5880 that's because Ukraine is a shithole of a country. It's only good for programmers, because they pay 2% of taxes. No one wants to be in Ukraine, unless you are lucky enough to work in IT, or you are one of the oligarchs. It's the poorest country in Europe. The reality is that Ukraine didn't do anything to favor the integration, on the contrary, the government suppressed the Russian sentiment and oppressed the people who reclaimed their autonomy. The government created this anti Russian sentiment, this hate for the Russians, especially in the North West. And they have erased all the parties, with the exception of the one ruling. This is nazism. I have been there many times, in Ukraine. I'm sorry for what is happening, I have friends there, but man, when you put a comedian to rule a corrupted country, you can't expect a comedy, but a tragedy. Even though I condemn this aggression, I think it was necessary, and I stand with Russia. Zelensky could have find a diplomatic solution, but he is a puppet in the hands of Biden, who is a puppet in the hands of someone else.

You are wrong. How do you steal a secret that is stored in the keychain? You need to have access to the device, and you need to know the device password to access the keychain, and even if you have access, the value stored in the keychain can be encrypted. At that point you would need to debug the app itself to see which key is used to decrypt. Considering apps are sandboxed, you are not going to do that, not in a million years. And if you manage, that means you have full control of the device. You can't do shit if you don't have access to the device. But you can steal a token generated on the server any time. Also the token generated by the client can't be reused, because it changes for every call, so you cannot even perform a replay attack. And you don't need any fuckin session. To be able to act like that client you need to be able to generate a token with uid, did, exp, nbf, and sign it with the private key, which means you need to have access to it. You can steal the token as many times you want but you cannot ever use it. Meanwhile if you steal a token generated by the server, you can use it multiple times, and even alter it. And by the way, generating a token on the client is what Apple does. You all go for the easiest, or better, the most used solution, which is often the worst. Sessions should never be used. @marklnz

First of all, it is true not all the clients are mobile apps (but they can be), but in fact you don't use the same method. You generate the token when the client is indeed an app (Android or iOS, they do both have a keychain). When the client is the browser, you do store the JWT in a cookie, and you tie the cookie to the IP, so that a stolen cookie cannot be used outside your network. Unfortunately there is not other way around it if a client is the web browser.
Sure, you can install the app on your phone, assuming you were able to hack the phone of someone else who has legit credentials, and you stole his private key from the keychain (very very very very unlikely), but the keychain you are using is related to the did, and the did (device ID) of your device is different, so the token that the app generates on your phone is invalid.
You can push as much as you want, but generating the token on the client, when the client is a mobile app, is much more secure, especially if the mobile app is the only client you have. You cannot perform any attack, unless you steal the phone, and you pass the biometric, having full access to the device.
Also this system ensures that a user can use his set of credentials on a single device, so that different users cannot share their credentials and pay for a single license, which is something you cannot do otherwise. I studied this stuff, I know what I am talking about. If I did the thing this way is because I deeply studied the subject.
Maybe in the future, with WebAssembly, we'll have a way to make it work also inside the browser. Maybe it is already possible, I do not know. @marklnz

Who said that the private key is shared, and also, where is written that such a key should be stored on the server?
When you do generate a key pair for ssh, for example, you do that on your own machine, and you store your public key in the authorized_keys file on the servers you want to access.
The same approach can be used for mobile applications. It is MORE SECURE (I repeat it again), than generating the key pair on the server, because it is not susceptible to the replay attack, and it does not require to relogin or refresh. Also the token cannot be stolen, because a new one is generated for every call.
Can you understand? If you cannot, then you choose the wrong profession.

Yeah, but the issue is Redis license. You see, with that money, they can make a much better Redis, without releasing the source code, because the license allows it.
The main requirements of the BSD license typically include the necessity to credit the original source and to include the original license with any distributions of the software or its derivatives. However, unlike the GNU General Public License (GPL), the BSD license does not require that modifications to the source code be released under the same license (a concept known as "copyleft").
Therefore, for a project like Redis, which is released under the BSD license, anyone could technically take its source code, improve it, and then sell a commercial version of it without having to release the improved source code to the public. This flexibility is part of what makes the BSD license attractive to certain developers and companies, as it allows for commercialisation opportunities while still encouraging sharing and usage of the software.
If you get 350 millions, you can afford to hire the best contributor, and make something out of Redis, that is not the actual Redis, so to speak. Something appealing big companies, that is worth buying.

What this man doesn't understand is that, if Putin can't win because of the Nato support, Putin will throw a nuclear bomb on Ukraine first, and on any major European city after, if Nato responds to the attack. Nato needs to stop supporting Ukraine. This is not our war. Ukraine is not part of the Nato, neither it's part of the EU. I don't want to get in a nuclear war because of Ukraine, or better, because some politicians think we need to support Ukraine. We didn't care about Boko Haram, we didn't care about many other wars, why should we care about Ukraine? What is special? Ukrainians are Russians, go there once and you will understand. I have been there twenty times, I know what I'm talking about.

@PouriyaJamshidi no, it's not, they have completely different skills. Both SRE and PE are programmers,
DevOps are not, in fact, they do write scripts and configuration files.
SRE need to be able to debug a system, and they have extensive coding experience. Their understanding of an application goes beyond the networking, they can look into the code and see what is wrong. They can even build debugging tools, if necessary.
PE are senior programmers, architects, with an extensive experience in system design. They know about patterns, frameworks, databases and operating systems. They can build a software system from scratch, they can refactor an existent application, they are architectes at core.
PE > SRE > DevOps

No one will retaliate against a Russian nuclear attack in Ukraine, because Ukraine isn't part of NATO, so the Russians don't have much to fear. The only ones who could respond to Russia are US and UK, but they won't do that. People still can't understand that Ukraine has been used, but no one really gives a fuck about it. The US doesn't support Ukraine because cares about their people or its independency, US supports Ukraine because this war is destroying Europe and it's making Russia weak. Also, Moscow is the most protected city in the world against a nuclear attack. Russia deployed around Moscow the S-500 system, which is currently the most sophisticated defense system in the world. People complain about the state of the Russian army. Well, Russia heavily invested in nuclear, because nuclear is a deterrent. It is part of the Russian doctrine. Russia has the fastest supersonic missiles in the world, BrahMos, and they can carry nuclear warheads. Meanwhile the US nuclear counterpart is depleted, because US considered impossibile a nuclear war and invested on more traditional weapons, Russia continued to research and develop new and more advanced missiles, ICBMs and defense systems (S-300, S-400, S-500). There will be not a nuclear counter attack against Russia if Russia uses nuclear against Ukraine. Ukraine can't win, you all need to understand that. It's just a waste of lives, their lives, and our money. There is not a single chance in the world that Ukraine can win the war, not a single one. Russia will nuke all the major Ukrainian cities rather than losing the war. You all need to understand that. Ukraine military supports has to end now, immediately.

htmx is jQuery on steroids, after all. When I was using jQuery, for example to implement a like button, I was returning as a result, a piece of HTML. jQuery was doing the call, PHP was generating the HTML, and then jQuery was replacing the existent HTML piece with the one generated by the server. It was a simple AJAX call. Certainly htmx does it better, but the principle is the same. JSON was used internally, by server to server calls, it was never sent to the client. But you know, I skipped many revolutions, and I predicted many fails. Never used an ORM, always thought Scrum was a shit, and most Unit tests are a waste of time, and TDD is rubbish. People start to get it now, 20 years later.

So in the Multiverse Theory there are billions of billions versions of myself, because every yoctosecond (Google yocto) a new version of me is generated, in that particular instance, forming two universes, so that there is a new version of me exist. By the time I finish this comment, there are infinite new versions of me, each one in a different universe. And also there is an infinite number of universes where I do not exist. So why should I live this one where my life sucks? Better kill myself every time I make a mistake, because, according to the Multiverse Theory, there is at least one universe where I do all it right. There is also one version where I live forever, till the end of the universe itself (one of the many versions), and I do become omniscient, maybe I become the universe myself, so I solve this dilemma for once and for all. If we assume the theory true, then this is, after all, possible, in a multiverse. Now, I don't like this idea, it doesn't make any sense. Whatever the String Theory predicts, my gut says it's wrong. The Universe is one, it has predefined rules, that our math can only partially describe. One day, maybe, we'll have a math that can describe the entire universe, but I am sure other mathematical theories will provide the same results, just like there are many ways to solve the same equations. Maybe even the String Theory, which is no more than a ugly framework. Oh, you can tell me I am wrong, in another universe, but if such a universe exists, I'll be the one to prove it (in another universe). I am sure I am right at least in one universe. This one. Check mate!

I still can't visit your country because I'm not vaccinated. Isn't your country the country of Freedom? It's strange, because I can get a Visa to visit Russia, but I cannot enter in the USA. What is happening in your country with Brandon e Kamala, and the entire LGBT leftist movement, is way worse than what's happening in Russia, with the sanctions. Your President is a joke, and I hope we'll not get nuked because of him, because we have never been so close to ww3 like we are now. The war in Ukraine is a proxy war between US and Russia, where US use free Ukrainian manpower. US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have the worst presidents/prime ministers in the entire world. And it's not a case they are all liberals.

The food is NOT cheap in Thailand. If you eat Japanese, Korean, Italian, Spanish, French, you pay as much if no more what you would pay in Japan, Korea, Italy and Spain. Only Thai food is cheap. And you may like it, but I do not, I think it sucks, and it sucks bad time. It is too spicy. Vietnamese food, for example, is definitely better, if you are not into spicy food.
Transport in Bangkok isn't so bad. You have MRT and BTS, with a number of metropolitan lines. Bikes are dangerous, because you will ride without helmet, and in Thailand they do drive fast. In Vietnam you provided with a crappy helmet, which is pretty useless if you have an accident, just because the police will stop you otherwise. Indeed in Thailand you can manage without a motorbike, but in Vietnam you cannot, you need to rent one.
Vietnamese women look much better than Thai women, I agree. If you are into transgenders, Thailand is, of course, the number one spot in the world. If you are into women, in Thailand is anyway much easier to get laid for free. If you like to pay, then Thailand has more options, but the girls look better in Vietnam. In Vietnam people try to scam you way more often than in Thailand. Women lure guys into super expensive clubs, where a drink costs 50 dollars or more. Attractive girls you meet on Tinder, ask you to take them to these places, because they get a commission.
Ho Chi Minh and Bangkok are two completely different cities. Bangkok is way more modern, and life is mostly concentrated around malls, massive shopping centres with huge food halls. Central Bangkok (Asok) is another world compared to Saigon (District 1). District 1 in Saigon is full of small alleys with a log of restaurants and micro shops, hotels, etc. The experience is not even comparable. Also Bangkok is more "distributed". Every neighbourhood has its own shopping mall, and if you want to experience the best nightlife you need to take a taxi and go to Khao San Road, meanwhile in Saigon it is all in District 1.
Saigon is way more dirty than Bangkok, like 10 times more.
Thai people are definitely friendly. Can't say the same for Vietnam.
Vietnam is definitely cheaper than Thailand, but to live in Saigon you need to rent a scooter, because streets are not designed to walk around, and if you move, you need a motorbike.

@BenDover-tq5yu what are you talking about? Public safety? Please read some paper and look at the statistics. Repressing with the use of force, arresting people, freezing bank account to suppress a pacific protest, like Trudeau did in Canada, calling the Emergency Act, a law that in 40 years no one used, is not democratic. Force the people to take an experimental therapy, not tested, against their will, for a flu, is not democratic either. Send a 50 Euro ticket to those didn't get the vaccine is not democratic. You should read 1984, so maybe you will understand a bit better the world. Public safety my ass.

But better having a tyrant like Putin, rather than having Trudeau, Biden or not having a government elected by people, like there is in Italy. 2008 was the last year Italy had a government elected by people. Do your math. At least, in Russia, what you call tyranny, is supported by the vast majority of the people. In Italy 68% of the people are against supporting the war, but the government in charge, that no one voted, still decided to send weapons to Ukraine, because Draghi does what Biden asks. Democracy is just a word that doesn't mean anything. When my rights are trampled and my freedom limited, then I know I'm not living in a democracy, but in a totalitarianism. Putin might have poisoned and jailed Navalny, but Trudeau arrested common people who protested pacifically, according to the law, and he froze their bank accounts. Zelenky cancelled all the parties, but it's own one and the extreme right, the nazi, ignoring for years the discontent of the people from the South, and oppressing and bombing them for years.

@melanies.6030 yes I think that Russians, in general have more freedom. Nothing has been imposed to them. In Italy they made it mandatory even if it wasn't, because they forbid the people who weren't vaccinated to go to work. In Canada the vaccine was de facto mandated for domestic travel. In USA is still mandated for who travel to any airport. This is against the science and the evidence. You can ask me a test, but you cannot keep me out because you want me to get a vaccine which is completely useless. And, just to be clear, I'm not anti vaxxer, as you called me. Covid vaccines aren't vaccines, but therapies, and they do not work. A vaccine prevents the transmission, these therapies don't. Vaccines go through years of testing before they get approved, because they need to be safe. These vaccines aren't safe and they didn't go through the process. Please inform yourself, I got more vaccine than the average Joe. I got HPV, Hepatitis A/B, Yellow Fever, etc. But I'm not going to inject in my body an experimental therapy who can invalidate me or even killing me, when statistics clearly say I'm not gonna die of Covid. In fact I got it twice and it was barely a flu. First time I had fever for a day, second time I didn't even had fever. And so my sister, and many friends and colleagues who didn't get the vaccine.

@сырпошехонский no freedom to bear arms is a good thing if you look at all the mass shooting happening in USA. In Italy there is no independent media as well, they are financed with state money, so there is only one general opinion. Same for television, they suppress and don't give space to anyone who has a different opinion. There is no space for the point of view of Russia, for example. Is there freedom of speech in the US? Trump has been banned from Twitter. I mean the ex President of the United States. You should go to live for a while in one of these countries, to realise the freedom you are talking about practically doesn't exist. I'm not saying that Russia is better, I'm saying that your vision is distorted by what you read on the Internet. We used to have a degree of freedom, now it's gone. In Italy there is a government made with parties from left and right, all together. A government that wasn't elected by the people. Please tell me if this is democracy. You have one in charge in Russia, in Italy there are many who share the same plate. In USA there is a man who suffer from senile dementia, who got in a war with Putin using his weapons and the manpower of another country, putting the world at risk, for a country, Ukraine, that the average American didn't even know is existing.

@musavillarin6102 the plan is to get a passport from Argentina. It takes only two years to get it, and you do not need to get married. You need to demonstrate to have an income of at least 250 USD a month, which I have. I plan to enter in the country with a passport, and exit with the other one, so they won't know I was out of the country. This is doable in a number of ways. Then I will apply for citizenship, and I will get my second passport. There is an African country where you can, instead, get citizenship if you marry a local, without hacing to leave in the country. You can eventually divorce after and keep the passport. I plan to pay an African woman a small amount, marry her, and get the passport, then divorce her. Thsi way I will obtain two additional passports at a very low cost. It is probably not completely legal, but what is it?

For years you fought communism, and now your President is acting like a dictator, trying to impose the vaccine, and closing the country to all but the vaccinated. Putin didn't do that, he is much smarter than Biden. In Italy they have done what your President wants to do. They call themselves a democracy, well it's not. No one has the right to tell me what I should inject in my body. You can make an helmet or seatbelts mandatory, because will not cause me any harm, but you can't oblige me to take a vaccine who can eventually cause a myocarditis and even kill me, especially because if I'm young I would not need that vaccine, because I would never die of Covid. Data shows that Covid-19 kills very old people with comorbidities, especially if obese, not young and healthy people.

@jax46 He is on the Ukrainian side. I agree with you, I think they are delusional. Thing is, they do really believe that. This guy employs 200 people, mostly men, in IT. Only a few have been called, but it looks like Ukraine is struggling to find people, so I think soon or later, they will all get called. But given the current rate of death, between 600 and 900 a day, I think it will take another year and half, and probably another army, the one with Abrams and F-16, before the war finally ends.

No man, it's a matter of ignorance. We have been guided, here in UK, by a man who violated himself the lockdown because to a meet a married woman. His forecast was completely wrong. This, plus the poorly handled situation in Italy, scared Boris, who changed strategy. Now it's pretty clear Sweden was right. To me, is always been. Colleagues and friends know I have been said this, going against everyone, since this epidemic started. The problem is in the world there are just a few smart people and Tegnell is one of them. Most of the people are stupid, and they elect stupid people to represent them. And stupid people make stupid decisions. And it's really difficult for the average people have their own opinions, an opinion that is different from the one widely accepted. I have seen this between my friends when we were discussing the matter. Same with colleagues. But now people should just admit they were wrong. They had all the time to study the numbers and understand the only people who needed to be protected are the elderly. There is no need to lockdown the entire country to do that. You can protect the home cares, you can enforce the companies to make people work from home, when it's possible, so less people will use the public transport, and you can pay those people who lives with elderly ones, and can't work from home. You can protect them, and let the others living a normal life. Without fuckin up the entire economy. Reporters and journalists are the first responsible for this mass media disinformation. They terrorized people, they make us to believe we were all going to die, when most of the people are asymptomatic. Look at all the football players who tested positive and didn't have any symptoms. It's bad for old people only, this is now clear. And the mortality rate is just 2 or 3 times higher than a seasonal flu. You have all been fooled, and it's always hard to admit you are so stupid, but you are. As a matter of fact, I have been 2 weeks in Colombia, and I'm going to weeks in Brazil pretty soon. Most probably I will die because a terrorist will shot at me, but certainly I will not die because the virus. Take care.

Ukraine is no different from Russia. I work with Ukrainians people, and I have spent months in Ukraine in different occasions. It is a corrupted country with the same oligarchy system there is in Russia. You also speak the same language, and you share the same culture, especially in the South East. Women are exactly like Russian women, looking for a provider, and you all look the way you dress or the car you drive. My friend, Ukraine is a shithole of a country, and with all the respect I have for the people, since I have a few friends there, you are no better than Russia, and you don't have any idea what democracy is. And because of you, more than the Russians, this will probably escalate to a nuclear war, and I'll be forced to leave Europe. You are all delusional if you think you can win a war against a nuclear power. At some point Putin will get tired and he will nuke Ukraine, and this may start a nuclear war. You have a clown for a President. The only reason he is pursuing a war against Russia is because he wants to get his hands on the money will come from Europe for the reconstruction. This will be another party for the Ukrainian oligarchs.

Tesla is funny because it doesn't sell cars, it sells ideas. This car still doesn't exist. The prototype is not probably able to run for 600 miles with a charge, but since they know it will be able in 2020, they sell it like it's real, but it's not, not now. Only Tesla does this, the other manufactures sell what they have, not what they think to have. There is nothing really innovating in this car, btw. Fisker, for example, is already using solid state batteries, which last longer than the Panasonic used by Tesla. It's a fuckin electric engine with a stilo batteries in parallel. Where is the innovation? I see innovation in SpaceX, that's really science rocket, not Tesla, Tesla is a joke.

@nunyabizay9253 because men like to get laid, so we also go for women we don't necessarily like enough to have a relationship. We usually decide in the first 10 minutes if we want to be with a woman or not. Then, a second test is sex. If we like a girl a lot and the sex is great, then we are more than happy to be in relationship with the girl. Both men and women want a partner that is out of their league. The difference is that men are usually ok to sleep with women who are in their league, or even below, just to get laid. I can tell you that if I find a woman I really like, out of my league, I'll keep her. But I can't find one where I live, so I get laid with women I do not like enough, and eventually I dump them. Women need to low their standards. Where I live my value isn't so high, but I know what means to have an high value. So I know what is like to be an attractive woman. I am white man, and in Africa I could match with every, and I mean every girl on Tinder, when in UK if I am lucky I match with a girl once a week. Lower your standard and you will find a man. Every day I go out I see at least one or two girls I would like to know and date, but these girls are definitely out of my league, unfortunately. And if they are not, they are just after my money. In fact, I will retire in a few years in a much cheaper country, where it will be much easier date a very hot girl. that's why men get girls from Thailand, South America, because our value there is way superior. If a woman can't get a man, she needs to lower her standards.

Dr Peterson, there is no need for any discussion or consortium. We need to pay African and Asian countries in exchange of one-child policy. We pay African and Asian countries with the highest birth rate, so they can use the money to develop their infrastructures and improve general living conditions.
In the meantime we develop alternative sources of energy. The main problem is not even energy, it's food. We depleted the oceans, we destroyed the wildlife, there is nothing left. We are too many, and if we do not control our number we will have to fight for the resources. It's already happening, I am surprised you can't see that.
We have examples of civilization who disappeared because they didn't have enough resources. One example of a civilization that is believed to have disappeared due to overpopulation is the Easter Island civilization. The indigenous Rapa Nui people of Easter Island, located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, built a complex society with impressive architectural and artistic achievements, but over time, their population grew too large for the island's limited resources. The resulting overuse of the island's natural resources, such as trees and soil, led to environmental degradation and societal collapse.
If you fail to understand that the only solution is to establish, globally one-child policy, then you are part of the problem, not the solution. I am sorry.

@LilDevs Love and care don't solve problems. Those African boys will consume more than their parents, and more they'll do their children. You should visit Kampala to see how many motorbikes are around, and how many cars. And you should have been there 10 years ago to see the difference. Not to mention China, India, Indonesia. The more people progress, the more they do consume resources. And progress is inevitable. If the world cannot even cope with 8 billions people, imagine how we can cope with 10 billions consuming twice as much they do now. Put your reproductive desires aside and understand you shouldn't have more than one child. And do not worry about my carbon footprint. I travel with public transport, since I do not have a car, I live alone in a studio in class energetic A/B, I do not have pets, and I do not eat junk food, cause I can cook. I do not commute because I work from home. And I will not have children because it's not necessary to have any.

I have been using macOS for 15 years, more or less. At some point I decided I had enough of Windows and I bought myself a Mac Pro, the tower. It made me a great service. Then, after years broke, and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro. I got a deal on eBay, bought new, and sold I think 5 years after for only $600 less then what I paid, basically $100 a year of depreciacion. I had several MacBooks, till finally, about 5 years ago, I got a ThinkPad and installed NixOS (one of the most peculiar Linux distro). But I gave up, and I sold it, because Linux was a pain. Then M1 came out, and this is my second M1 laptop. It's just another thing, it is so much better than any Intel or AMD processor. Battery life, fans never spin up, completely silent, never hot. It just works, and integrate beautifully with my Time Capsule (bought used for $70), never had an issue with backups, all my files are securely encrypted on the file system and on the backup as well. And it works so well with the iPhone as well. It's no brainer. I leave the desktop Linux experience to people who have a lot of time to waste, those same people who code on Vim instead of Visual Studio or IntelliJ platform. Those same people who can't used a debug.

Coding in the 80/90 was fun, because all this plethora of frameworks, libraries, databases, and even languages didn't exist. You had to use interrupts, pointers, build your own data structures, etc. It was challenging but funny. And you were really one of the few, a strict minority, a genius. Now it's totally different, and it is not fun anymore. And come on man, can we talk about JavaScript? I would rather use a mop than JavaScript.

@amjadhanna5928 they are indeed the same people. Ukrainians are so much close to Russians, they have nothing in common with French, Spanish people or Italians, neither with the Brits. They aren't Europeans in that sense. But Ukrainians think they are superior and Russians are orcs, subhumans. Russians think Ukrainians aren't much. Gogol use to call the Ukrainian language Little Russian, and Ukraine Little Russia. What happened in the last 15 years is that with Poroshenko the hate against Russia grew a lot, and now they are all nazi bastards, and they need to lose this war for once and for good. Russians don't hate Ukrainians, they do hate what they do represent. In a 2010 Russian cult movie called Brother 2, the brother of the movie star says twice "nazi Ukrainians". It means they have been like this for a long time, and they got much worse now they think they can win. But they will lose, the Ukronazi will lose.

First budget surplus in 16 years, news of today, or yesterday. What people do not understand is that, if you don't have the money, you cannot implement woke policies, because you are going into debt, and you need to borrow money, or print it, which is what the United States does all the time. The difference is that Argentina currency is trash, why the dollar is the currency used for any international trade. A country is like a company, you can go to debt if you are innovating or buying new machines to increase the production, but if you spend money when you do not have it, for things that are not providing a return, then you are going into debt and you kill the company. Peronism did this to Argentina, and people used to live with the money the states was giving to them, that is why they kept voting for the left.

have been the only one, here on this channel and on Military Summary, to say that we were not going to see any Russian offensive. The reason is simple, and very clear. Russia tried multiple times to storm Ukrainian positions, but as you reported in your videos, it failed. In at least two occasions, I remember that Russia lost a huge number of tanks. To take Bakhmut, Russia used a ton of shells, and destroyed building after building.
People are saying that Ukraine is running out of man, which is a total bullshit. Ukraine can go on for the next 2 years, if they keep losing between 600 and 900 soldiers a day. Ukraine will train and replenish an entire new army if that is needed. Greece is just going to end over to Ukraine its entire air defense system. We are talking about over 90 units. Ukraine is attacking, and in doing so, is losing a lot equipment and soldiers. I don't see why Russia should attack, when it is in a position to defend and destroy Ukraine waves or soldiers and tanks, one after the other. Ukraine is getting weaker every day, but is has still enough strength to attack. I am pretty sure in the moment we are speaking thousands of new recruits are trained in the UK and Poland. The new ones who will use Abrams, Challengers and F-16, another army, plus ton of new equipment that is still on the way.
To attack Russia should mobilise, at least another 500,000 soldiers, and equip these soldiers. Also it should ramp up furtherly the production of shells, tanks and equipment. This would destroy the economy. Russia needs to hold another year and half, till the end of the new Presidential elections in the USA. Whoever is going to win, is going to end this war.
It would not be prudent for Russia to attack, Ukraine is still too strong. Better grinding them down, day by day, and eventually, when they do not have nothing left, attack. It is not that time yet. You all hear Ritter and Macgregor saying that Ukraine is done. They said that for the first time more than one year ago. Well, it's not, Ukraine is not done yet. Ukraine is still strong.
In addition, another war is about to start in Niger. Who is going to provide the equipment, the training, the ammunition? It is going to be Russia. Russia cannot afford to mobilise 500,000 men, necessary to start a counter offensive, supporting, at the same time, a war in Niger. But Russia has time, and Russia knows that things will change with a new US administration.

@SHANONisRegenerate I made a point that you didn't understand. I told you that the other leaders are not better than Putin. Putin cares about his people, at least. He didn't try to kill them with an experimental vaccine. He is actually liberating the Russians in the Donbas from Ukraine. So I would choose 100 times Putin over any leader I had in my own country in the last 30 years. And I can speak the same for UK, I would rather have Putin here instead of Johnson, Truss, Wallace or Sunak. I am not indoctrinated by anyone, I do not live in Russia, but I travel, I read, and I do not follow the parody of the mainstream media, like you clearly do. Comparing Putin with Biden is like comparing chocolate and shit. The scumbag gangster doesn't have interest to conquer Europe, and he would never attack EU or UK. He just wants to fix a problem that is not and shouldn't be our problem. Especially not the problem of the US. Gangster, you are funny. The US-Americans invaded Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, just to name a few. But keep believe you know better and live in your ignorance. I gave you an opportunity, I gave you my time, now do what you want.

@seanniemeyer5437 I think the main issue is that Ukraine oppressed the pro Russians for years.
You know, in my country we have some areas where the people do not even speak our official language, they do speak, mainly, the language of another country, and the majority of the people living at the border would prefer to be part of that country. Indeed my country managed to give them a certain level of autonomy, and privileges, so to speak, and this is enough to make those people happy. Ukraine should have done the same, but it was totally incapable. On the contrary, oppressed these people.
Remember that, even though Russia provided Donbas people with military aids, the people are fighting, risking their life. You don't do that for Russia, you do that because you are tired to get oppressed, you do that because you want your own autonomy.
I do believe in auto determination, not in sovereignty. Ukraine did its best to make this war happen, and now it is going to pay for the consequences. I can assure you - mark my words - that not only the Donbas will remain Russian, but that Ukraine will get destroyed, for the most part, if the war continues.
The Russians are destroying the power supplies so the civilians will be forced to leave. And once there aren't civilians anymore, the Russians will annihilate the Ukrainian army. I don't know how long it will take, but Ukraine is doomed, no matter what.
There is no hope for Ukraine. If Ukraine manages to conquer back the territories, which I strongly doubt, it will be nuked. Ukraine can't win, and the US administration knows this very well. They just want to prolong this war as long as possible to impoverish Europe, and possibly kill the German and the Italian industries, who cannot afford the high cost of energy. People, Ukrainians in particular, are so naive thinking they can win the war. You don't win a war against a nuclear power, you simply can't. This is not the Avengers that you can go back in time and revive half of the universe. Once you have been nuked, you are dead, and the war is over.
I do understand patriotism but I do not tolerate stupidity.
Zelensky, who is now considered a hero, will be one day seen for what he is: the man who sold his country to the United States and slaughtered his own people.

@adambickford8720 Camunda is actually open source, and it is indeed a workflow engine that can run a BPMN diagram. It works. You may like it or not, there are some interesting concept behind it.
We used it to design KYC/KYB workflows, and to extend/customise them. You can do the same in other ways, of course, but for the right project it is quite cool. You still need to be a developer to use it, but it can save you time if you have a bunch of similar workflows to run.
UML is a collage of different diagram techniques: Booch class and object diagrams, Rumbaugh activity and state machine, Jacobson use case and sequence. The three amigos.
Later on the OMG tried to make it executable, but that was not the purpose of UML. Things like Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) and Executable UML (xUML) were created, without any success.
BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) was specifically designed to be executable, unlike UML, which was originally more focused on modeling rather than direct execution.
I used to be a UML expert, one of the few who actually studied the specs, and found out some of the idiosyncrasies of the meta-model, that was not well designed, because it has circular references with the model itself.
I believe some of the UML diagrams are still very useful, in particular sequence diagrams, and activity diagrams. Others are completely irrelevant and just a waste of time. Class diagram are still very language dependent. Ok for Java and C++.

@jay64j Those info are not available, you know better than me. Ukraine claims, Russia claims, no one knows the truth. But what I know is that I managed and worked with hundreds of programmers, and they didn't mobilize any. There are 200k programmers in Ukraine, plus a lot of IT personal. I can guarantee they can easily mobilize 300k more men. Very easily. And these are all people who did the military service. An IT guy can learn how to operate an HIMARS in a few hours, it's not rocket science. You don't need to be trained 10 years to drive a tank or shoot a gun. You are all overestimating training. UK and EU are training Ukrainians in thousands, constantly. The Soviet Union lost up to 12 millions soldiers during WW2, Germany over 5 millions. Ukraine has still a long way to go. People saying they don't have any more soldiers are wrong. What I can see if that Russia still didn't take Bakhmut. It has been months. And Ukraine conquered back a lot of territory. That's the reality, facts. Russia doesn't have enough men on the ground, and 300k will not be enough for a massive counter offensive. They need a million, at least, but they don't have enough weapons and equipments for 1 million soldiers. That's why they mobilized only 300k. They don't even have enough rifles, because they didn't plan for it. They wanted to take Ukraine in 2 weeks and they miserably failed, and they weren't ready for what followed. Also all these claims that Russian had over 15000 tanks, it's all bullshit. A YouTuber bought satellite pictures and counted them one by one. And you can see from the video posted where they move equipment, that Russians don't have so much stuff left. That doesn't mean they can produce more, and maybe that's the plan. The truth is Putin is a damn newbie and he doesn't know what to do, and his generals are bad as well.

@chadthundercock5532 1. Yes, that means Ukraine can still mobilise a lot of men, before it collapse, and the 300k Russians will not be enough. Just read yesterday that Putin wants to keep that open. I do not think he will stop the mobilization, because he can't.
2. No one is saying the army is derelict, but if it was far superior, we wouldn't be here discussing this matter. Russia made a ton of mistakes, and lost several battles.
3. Satellites are satellites. They take pictures, and if you want the update pictures you pay. The guy compared the old with the new ones to see what was available and what is still available. Much more reliable source than what you read on the military websites. Probably not even Putin knows how many tanks Russia has, because there is not such inventory. Companies can't even make an inventory of their computers, imagine if Russia can make an inventory of all his military equipment. Too many people involved, too much corruption, way too much disorganization. So I think it is more reliable counting the tanks, rather than believing in estimations done by "experts" and "analysts". Also, if you look at the videos published, and you sum up all the tanks moved by the trains, you can count a few hundreds, certainly not thousands. We do not know how many missiles Russia has, we do not know how fast they can produce any. What we know is that the production of Kalashnikov is far behind, and T-14 Armata production was triggered only at the end of 2021, so they can't have many, because the company who does the tanks said they will deliver 40 in 2023.
In conclusion, Russia is not mighty as we were thinking, they don't have so many tanks, tanks have been proved ineffective because Javelins cost a fraction of the money and destroy tanks easily. Missiles are very expensive, and when you launch 50 missiles, and 35 get destroyed, you lost a lot of money. Ukrainian army has been destroyed once already, but if US and NATO keep supporting Ukraine, Russia will have the only option of Nuclear weapons. The point is, I am not sure if and when Russia can win this war with conventional weapons. At the current speed and with the troops employed it could take years. And we don't know what will happen to the economies in years. Will NATO, and in particular EU support Ukraine for years? Will Russian economy eventually collapse in the next two years? Will the conflict escalate further? We can't know.

I totally agree with this guy. I am an immigrant myself, and I took citizenship last year, after 7 years in the country. I got a job, and then I came here, I didn't just move here to find a job. I moved because I got a job. But the Tories made a law in 2021 that allows any student who studies for one year, to stay in the country for 2 additional years, and get a job without the need of a sponsorship. Which is exactly what Brexit was against. People voted for Brexit to limit immigration, and the Tories break that promise. In the last 3 years we had an incredible influx of immigrants. Students, and their families, and this took a tall on services, but especially on the housing market. My rent went up 42% in 3 years. And the problem in this country is not illegal immigration, it is legal immigration. On top of that, the way they managed the pandemic, the lockdown, the fact NHS workers were forced to take the vaccines, the mandated tests, and everything else. Tories and Labours are the same party, it is called WEF. Vote Reform.

We are not alone in the universe, and life can be closer than we imagine. But aliens capable of interstellar travels, at light speed, that's much more difficult. And even if these aliens do exist, how did they end up visiting us, our planet? Einstein General Relativity says you can't travel faster than light. And, even if you could, you would need hundreds and hundreds of years to reach our planet from another galaxy. Governments are not disclosing information about UFO, because there is nothing to disclose. There is not only the US government, there are many others, but no one ever provided a proof, because such a proof doesn't exist. No UFO ever visited our planet and no one ever will.

@Evan124a I am not from US, but I am not so sure as you are. You know, what happens is that when they get into power, they do follow the orders, and they do what they have been told. It happens everywhere. I am not sure he will make any difference to be honest. There are countries where a President can still make a difference, US I am afraid is not one of them. And anyway I do not like the his view on drugs. For me they should all be banned. He wants a model a la San Patrignano, which I know very well, but he does not know really how that works. I am against drugs, any drug, including marijuana. I would put anyone to jail, starting from these rappers that go in TV smoking it. They are a disgrace.

Look, just these days Rand Paul presented an amendment to prevent the CDC imposing vaccines or other measures. All the Republicans were in favor, the Democrats were not, because they are all sold to the pharmaceutical companies. Now, I know RFK would be in favor, the problem is the party would be against him. You need to understand that. Remember they killed his uncle. Trump is a better choice because he leads the Republicans, and Republicans are better than Democrats. I do not consider myself a Republican, and I am more of a liberal than a conservative, but Democrats do not represent me, because there is nothing liberal about them, or democrat. They are socialists, communists. They do represent what American fought for years, communism. Democrats are a cancer and they are destroying the nation. Republicans are not much better, because they do answer to the same elite, but at least they have some principles. RFK is a good fella, but he runs for the wrong party. @Evan124a

Trump doesn't care about the people dying. I do not care either to be honest. He wants to see if he can get anything out of this conflict. For him everything is a deal, he wants a decent deal. He wants to go back and say: "Yeah, Russia kept the territories, but we got all the rare earth metals, and the gas. With Biden we spent billions for nothing. If I was President this war would have not started. It was a terrible, terrible thing, millions died. But I have stopped it."
Zelensky needs to save his face in front of "his" people. His people want peace, but they also want to be sure that this is the last time Russia attacks. For that to happen, or not happen, someone has to provide security warranties. It could be the US, alone. But Putin does not want this, so we'll see.
Putin is tired of agreements. Minsk 2 was a joke. So he wants to finish the job in Ukraine. Putin is expecting a collapse in Ukraine, but it won't happen if the US keeps supporting Ukraine. It will be a slow pace war, which will kill Russian economy, at some point. So, an agreement will have to be found. But it will take a long time.

I started with PHP casually, when it was a very limited scripting language. I mean casually, because I hired a guy to develop the back office of a web application. We decided to go for PHP, I don't even know why. I had experience in Java at the time, and Turbo Pascal, Delphi, C/C++. Nothing was working, it was full bugs, so I paid for what he had done so far, and I took the thing in my hands. I kept the HTML and I throw away the PHP. I had no experience building websites, so I learned both PHP and HTML. Well, I smashed it. PHP was limited at the time, and it was HTML mixed up with PHP, a pain to refactor. But it served me well. Nowadays is totally different, much more sophisticated. Is has a lot of great MVC frameworks, it runs much faster, much better support for OOP, template languages to write HTML templates, an amazing standard library, Composer and Packagist for external packages, a great and extensible log library. PHP does what it does better than any other programming language. You can't use it to write a driver, it is not meant to be use for services or daemons, but for APIs and website in general is simply great. Also you find a lot of cheap developers who can use it, which is a great thing for a startup who does not have money. And the language itself is way better than Python. Thanks to the community it evolved with a lot of RFP in a great scripting language. And yes, that is a sample code from the 90s.

My problem with Vim is that I started with Turbo Pascal IDE under MS-DOS, and it was damn good. When I first approached vi, Vim didn't exist yet. It was on a mini system, with a number of terminals. And I hated so much. I didn't like the insert mode, and I didn't like that I had to remember all the commands by memory. And since then I hate Vim, and I will never use it, no matter what. I am not saying is bad, I am saying there are alternatives that remind me much more of the Turbo Pascal IDE, and which I find more appealing. I tried emacs, and I didn't like it either. I use the Intellij IDE platform, but I am not a fan. Just I can't use VS because it was written in JavaScript. I refuse to use an editor written in JavaScript. I can't, I won't, I hate JavaScript even more than Vim.

The last man, who spoke about Orwell raised the most interesting question: who does tell the more lies? Truth is, they both. Ukrainians probably are lying the most. Is it true that Ukrainians are nazis? Some are. It's true that are indoctrinating children to hate Russia. That's a fact, this has been documented, especially in some part of the country. But, I can tell you that most of the Ukrainians, at least before the war, don't hate Russians, as well Russians don't hate Ukrainians. The truth is Zelensky is a fool, a puppet in the hands of Biden (which is an old man who suffers from senile dementia), and this lead to a war that could have been avoided. And this war, not matter what, will end up with Ukraine defeated, because no matter how Ukraine resists, Putin cannot afford to lose this war, even if he has to nuke Ukraine. So Ukraine is fucked, in any case. Life will be back to normal for Russia as soon the war is over, because Europe needs the gas, and sanctions will have to stop.

I feel the pain. Travelled to Vietnam twice, three days the first time, second for one month and half. First time got scammed by a private taxi, paid five times what I would have paid with Grab. I am an experience traveller, and I knew this was going to happen, but it happen because I was with a Thai woman, who was a pain in the butt. If I was alone, I would have connected to the airport WiFi and use Grab. Which I did the second time. But it was not easy to find the car, it is utterly complicated, because if you do not have Internet, and you use just the airport WiFi, then you may lose connection, and like he said, it is not clear where taxi stops.
I think the Saigon airport is the worst I have ever been, it is completely inadeguate to handle the traffic Vietnam has today. So I am glad another one is in construction, hopefully a modern one, with electronic checks.
Do not buy a local SIM at the airport, it is a scam. A one month plan with 5 GB a day costs like 6/7 USD (for a month) in a Viettel shop. And mind that you can only pay with cash. Also, to avoid commissions use the ATM of TP bank.
Vietnam is full of scams, so pay attention. Do not pay with other currencies, they will scam you.
And yes, the airport is atrocious, and the queue at passport control can easily take two hours. Bare in mind that even when you flight back to your country, it is still going to take a long time to check your passport.
Some people are friendly, other they just see you as a walking ATM. Sometimes, if you do not buy they speak Vietnamese behind you, insulting you. And some women have a terrible attitude, nothing like Thailand. I do not like to generalise, but I am not sure I will ever come back.
The traffic is insane, and if you stay in Vietnam longer than two weeks, you are going to need a motorbike. Food is cheaper than in Thailand. If you are a tourist and you visit Saigon for just a few days (2/3 days are enough to visit the city) stay in District 1, but if you plan to stay a month, then Thao Dien is much better. The rest of the city is for locals. Good restaurants, shops, it is all in Thao Dien.

@kadi7471 There are some cases, but I wouldn't say "a significant number". The number is not significant. Do a cross test with some African countries. You'll notice there are no cases at all, or just a few. The reason is that in some African countries, people die at 56, not 80. At least based on data I have access, in relation to other countries. I personally know at least 10 people who got COVID-19, and no one of them had severe symptoms. And remember, we just get to know who get tested. Many are asymptomatic. In my opinion, UK, as well as many other countries, had the time to prepare for a second phase, and it didn't really. Authorities emphasize the few severe cases of young people to sensibilize the masses, creating a sense of fear between the youngest. But the reality is that this virus kills the elderly, the ones are already sick.

Fasting produces a peak of HGH, the growth hormone, which helps with muscle development, and tissue regeneration.
But certainly you cannot live without food or water, that is just dumb. If you do not drink for a few days you die, and if you not eat you lose weight, and eventually die after a prolonged period.
Also, a study of over 20,000 adults found that those who followed an 8-hour time-restricted eating schedule, a type of intermittent fasting, had a 91% higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease.
That said, instead of fasting, read some books, cause you are truly a dumb person, and I have no respect for the idiots.

@nottoday3817 Ukraine has over 200k software developers, and they haven't been called to the army. just a few, not even the 1% for what I know. Plus there are a number of IT people that also haven't been called. They can easily find 300k people, I can assure you. They will all fight, 90% of Ukrainians are willing to fight, even women. They can find millions more. It's all about weapons and support. As long the country gets enough money from the US to run the basic services, weapons and military equipment, Ukrainians will keep fighting till the last man. This unless Russia overpower Ukraine so much that Ukrainians will lose hope. Will the Russians rebel when and if over a million of soldiers will be called to the army? Hard to say. In my opinion the outcome of this war is unpredictable. Russia isn't strong as everyone was expecting. Will the Russian war machine will gain traction over time or it will be depleted? Will the US and NATO provide tanks and other major equipment to Ukraine, stuff we didn't yet see on the field? Even aircrafts maybe? We don't know that yet. Russia didn't react to the British sabotage of the pipeline. It's clear it was the British, and also the British sunk the ships. Putin didn't do anything. Retaliate killing civilians. Kill a few thousands, target the British embassy. Then we'll see what the British will do. Putin is failing bad time, he is a pussy. He is too worried to be seen as a war criminal. He should do a nuclear attack on Lviv and Kyiv, destroying the cities. NATO will not respond with a nuclear attack on Russia to save Ukraine, because no one gives a fuck about Ukraine. Ukraine isn't part of NATO. The whole point of being a nuclear power is to deter the enemies to attack you. But the enemies are attacking Russia, since now Donbas is part of Russia. Putin needs to grow a pair of balls. Either you don't invade, either you win with any mean, and you use nuclear weapons. Russians are getting killed for no reason. You are in charge of the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world, and you are getting your ass kicked by a country who doesn't have anything. What is the point investing in a doctrine mainly based on nuclear weapons and ICBMs, if you don't use them when you need. Are you going to use them against UK And USA when you country is completely doomed and you don't have any other option? Use it now that no one will retaliate, and stop this war. Grow some balls Putin.

Piers, the success of a movement is not measured by the reaction of the people assisting the protests, but with the amount of donations the association gets from its donors. The more visibility you give them, the more money they will get. You are doing them a favor. I do not personally support the protest, but both your guests were right. The first one, very politely, said that China is the country who is doing more to move towards renewable energy, the second, in a childish way, a la Greta Thunberg, pointed out they do not support the monarchy. I do agree with both on the points they made regarding China, and the monarchy. I do not like their methods, but pay attention, they are backed by the same people who pay your salary and sponsor your show.

15000 people crossed the US border with Mexico in a single day. Republicans will not approve a bill giving money to Ukraine, unless the border issue get fixed. But democrats don't want to fix the border issue, because they will need the immigrants' votes to win future elections. This charade will go on another year, at least, till a new President is instated. Europe however tried to approve 50 more billions of aid to Ukraine, but it was stopped by Hungary if I am not mistaken. However Europe is changing the law, so that the unanimity is not required anymore, so eventually 50 more billions will be delivered to Ukraine, just from Europe, in a matter of months. So the war won't stop any soon. Eventually US will also send more money to Ukraine. We can expect another 100 billions in total, which is half of what has been given so far. Considering the casualties, we can expect an additional 200k KIA between the Ukrainians, probably more, before the war is over, for a total of 600k, maybe more. However I doubt Russia will ever reach Dnipro, maybe it will conquer Kramatorsk and Siversk, but it will not reach Dnipro.

What are you talking about. NATO is already fighting the war against Russia. NATO is providing military aid, support, logistic, intelligente, satellites and even training to Ukraine. Ukraine is putting just the manpower. This is already a war between NATO and Russia, and NATO attacked Russia already. Nato blew up two submarine gas pipelines, NATO helped Ukraine to blow up a bridge in Crimea. NATO is a puppet in the hands of US, like it is Zelensky. This is a war between Russia and US, and it wasn't Russia to start it. NATO expanded far East and it shouldn't have done it. Ukraine signed the Minsk agreement in 2014, but then such a agreement has been violated shelling for 8 years the civilians in Donetsk. Ukraine didn't even have an army anymore at the end of the war in 2014. All the shelling has been done by the Azov Regiment, a group of nazies who was of course financed by the Ukraine government. For years the NATO, in particular UK, trained the Ukrainian troops. US admitted to have militaries on the ground in Ukraine. You might be in the Norwegian army, my cousin is in the army as well, he is a Colonel. He doesn't know anything, as well you don't know anything. This war could end tomorrow. Musk proposed a reasonable solution. But US doesn't want to end this war. Because this war it's not only affecting Russia, but it is destroying Europe. So it will not end, unless Russia demonstrates such a superiority on the field, that Ukraine can't stand the ground anymore. And mark my words: Russia will never accept a defeat, in the worst case scenario Russia will strike Ukraine with several nuclear attacks. Whatever is going to happen, if Ukraine doesn't seek peace, Ukraine will be destroyed. I repeat, mark my words and come back here to read what I wrote. You all.

Lol, not it did not. Ukraine can mobilise way more troops. The issue is that to mobilise a single soldier you need 7 workers paying taxes. So for each man you mobilise, you remove 7 from the workforce, if you know what I mean. At the moment, Ukraine can barely afford to pay the salaries of the government employees. Ukraine cannot afford to mobilise way more men, it is not that there are not the men. It is very different. If US and EU pay for this mobilisation, then it is more than possible for Ukraine to mobilise 500k more men, or even 1 million, maybe 2 million more. Since Ukraine is a failed country, as soon as US and EU stop providing aid, Ukraine will not be able to pay the salaries anymore. They will have to print money, inflation will raise, and people will not be able to afford food or anything else. But they do have the men, they have plenty of men, all suitable for war. I can assure you that. @kjererrt7804

I was there just one week ago, and before I was in Tokyo. The river is very nice, I loved it. Also the people keep it clean. But in the city you can still experience heavy traffic. Meanwhile in Tokyo there are way less cars, and those are way smaller. Seoul average car is a Hyundai Sonata, which is the equivalent of a Passat, meanwhile Tokyo has very small cars of the size of a Toyota Yaris, if not smaller, and they are much smaller in number. Tokyo is really a modern city, mobility is built around people, not cars, meanwhile Seoul is still not, even though is catching up. The Metro is Seoul is easier to use than in Tokyo, and stations are much bigger than in Europe.

I had 3 ceramic cooking stoves, one gas, and one induction. Induction is indeed the best, but it all depends by model and brand. Not all the stoves are the same. Also, I do prefer not to have touch controls, they suck. They aren't responsive, and they may not work if some water is on them. Much better to have the glass with the hobs, and separate controls. Gas sucks, it's a pain to clean and it's dangerous. Still probably the best choice for a restaurant, but at home induction is cool, and even ceramic is great, if you live in UK, where we have like 5 kw or even more. In other European countries not so sure if induction is the way to go.

What I do not understand is why the food here is so cheap. I have travelled the world, I hold two passports, British and Italian, and Japan is probably the country where the food is cheaper. Do not get me wrong, the food is cheaper in Africa, or in Vietnam, but it is bad. Japanese food is good. Italy used to be cheap, but well it is not anymore, and also the overall quality declined. I spend less for food here than I was doing in Thailand, Vietnam or the Philippines. Maybe it is because Japanese food is good, but the food in the other countries I mentioned is not. Anyway, you keep the costs low. Even for fruits. I had strawberries today, in Ueno, Tokyo, not in a village. Very good ones. Paid 2 pound. It is nothing! Not even in Italy I would have paid so little, maybe in Portugal. And so many cheap restaurants, and places where you can buy prepared food, ready to eat. Food, safety, order, cleanliness are the thing I do appreciate the most about Japan. But no night transport in Tokyo after midnight? In the largest city in the world? That is simply ridiculous.

@vmguy1 Ukraine never implemented Minsk 2. Azov never stopped shelling Donbas, no matter an agreement was signed. Ukraine didn't even have any control over the Azov Brigade because they did not have an army at that point.
So Russia had to step in and help the separatists. Minsk 2, as per Merkel and Holland admission, was only signed to buy time and prepare Ukraine for a full scale war against Russia. Immediately after the war started, Zelensky was ready to sign a peace agreement, but Bojo went to Ukraine to block the process. The rest is history. Ukraine lost this war, I do not think there is nothing NATO or Trump can do to change the outcome of this conflict. Unless there is a direct involvement of EU and US. When I say direct involvement, I mean that European country send their troops to Russia. But given what is happening in Europe, with Scholz and Macron completely isolated, this won't happen. Also this would mean nuclear war. So Ukraine has lost. Full stop. Now for Trump is just a matter of ego. He wants to stop the war, but come out like the winner, like if he did something important and bring home a victory. Trump is all about ego, he wants to feel the best, he wants to say: it was all a disaster, Biden did a disaster, but I fixed it, we got a great deal. Auto-referential ego. Now Putin knows this, and he will do some concessions. Putin is a very intelligent man.
