We're going a bit off-topic now, but I mostly agree with you if the situation remains stalled like it is now. On the other hand, if Russia is able to make significant advances in the coming months, and Ukraine is at a point where it ca

I agree that it may be the goal. We just can't know it. But in the post I was replying to it was stated as a certainty rather than a possibility.

It's an official statement, it just doesn't say that the goal is occupying 100% of Ukraine.

I was talking about official statements defining the goal as occupying 100% of Ukraine's. Taking an ambiguous word in a propaganda speech doesn't cut it. > How do you demilitarize a nation by taking only 20% of it? The only way

I've never heard the goal was 100% of the country. Can you point to a source?

My interpretation is that he phrased it like that because he sees Ukraine surrendering as the most likely scenario. Not to put blame or responsibility on Ukraine.

> Your assertion that you can't see anyway for Ukraine to win is based on "If Russia loses, it would be the end of Russia". Well, if Ukraine loses it will be the end of Ukraine, so I guess by your logic Russia can't w

I don't understand what kind of bubble people are in if they think Russia is about to surrender soon. According to the Western media they were running out of ammo in March, April, May and June. Meanwhile, with an incompetent army runni

I don't know why this got down-voted exactly, but it's unfortunately accurate in that an hospital/school can become a legitimate military target if it's used militarily. Also, in response to: > I doubt Ukraine are int

That doesn't follow at all. You should defend using fortifications, military structures etc... Surely you shouldn't endanger your own civilian population? Using hospitals or schools turns them into legitimate targets for the enemy

Technically .* is a valid regex for those strings, so the issue here is not only to reverse engineer them, but to do so in a way that's meaningful for the person who has to use it after. It shouldn't be hard to start with .* and r

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, the project is basically abandoned. That's why I didn't research further into the licensing stuff (although at the time I thought attribution was good enough). The content has never been monetized, s

Thanks! Yes, it's all done by me, I took inspiration from some "dashboard" layouts I found online and made a couple of twists.

It's a Java backend using Spring Boot, and all the data is stored into Elasticsearch. And then there's just a small Python script that collects the data from the Telegram APIs (couldn't manage to do it with Java).

Hi HN! As a side project for the last 3 weeks I've been working on scraping and analyzing thousands of Telegram messages from channels about the war in Ukraine and building a dashboard on top of it. Although Telegram is not that popula

I've always loved genetic algorithms and similar ideas. Unfortunately, as you said, they are not that common now unless maybe in some niche use cases. It's very fun to use them for a weekend project, though.
