It's 50 more years of standoff if a Russian doesn't give Putin the coup de grace, because of the geographic location. But that is what Putin wanted - to consolidate fiefdoms and polarize the divisions.

As of now the estimate is they have committed 50% to Ukraine, that is pushing hard at the upper limit of how many can actually be committed before there is no logistical support at all. They could go to 2/3 for a short time, but even m

The anti-nuclear push in the last few years in Europe has been extremely short-sighted, and undoubtedly helped make Russia's decision to attack Ukraine easier.

I see their statements as indicating that they do know in fact there are failure modes that will occur some of the time. When you use could in this context, it's to indicate that it won't happen in all circumstances, not that you

It is certainly not hard to destroy the machines. But getting the expertise and data is worth a lot anyways, if you are already at this stage.

Same was true for me on Digital Ocean. Basically, regularly check your service provider because prices for servers and storage tend to drop.

I use it almost exclusively on Linux. It was much worse just 9 months ago. I do close and reopen it every week or so, it reopens all my tabs per my config, and it never gets sluggish on me if I do that. I agree with commenter above. I prefe

I recently switched to try out ddg (again). Local search is terrible. Other searches have at least been ok. Nothing so far seems worlds better, but there does seem to be a bit less spam in the results.

I tried it and found that it did not do enough to make it useful for me. Definitely the first thing to look at though.

Sending me towards the right path. It looks like I could write a little script using some of xdotools built in tools for cursor coordinates, active window info and geometry etc that would be pretty useful. As a quick solution it could alert

The potential in xdotool is there, however what I loved about AutoHotKey was the ability to inspect windows and actions to use for scripting purposes. Not sure if there is such a feature I am missing in xdotool or similar.

Is there anything like AutoHotKey for Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)? It's the thing I miss the most from using Windows.

I recently learned the black sharpie tip somewhere. It works like a charm.

I agree, but it's still not a good definition. People are also addicted to porn, gambling, to sports (the 'hyperfit'), or to doing nothing, etc. Activities / experiences / behaviours are addictive, which shows that

Probably not, the water will usually migrate quite a bit before hitting well depth, depending on underlying geology. Composting toilets are also useful in the mountains where septic systems need to be extremely deep or will freeze during th

The Anbox support is a big plus. Do you find it is actually fast enough for daily use of any android apps? I have one I use all the time on a tablet, but have not had luck getting a performant solution on my laptop.

Anybody who thinks you have 10 bucks asks you to invest in a micro hydro venture there. It's not planned, those are mainly just a bunch of randos who want to build their own dams. I am glad these guys are trying, but my hopes are low.

It's more a question of whether it's a problem for the other driver. But yes, I agree the best thing would be to change the laws. Instead they have gotten even more ceremonious in my area over the last few years. Tesla is taking o

Most accidents happen at intersections, and you don't know how fast the other car is going. I would consider rolling stop far more "dangerous" in that regard. If I were programming it and laws were not a concern, I would prob

Back in the day I did not autostart the installer when someone put a cd in, because that always pissed me off. A lot of emails on that one!

This is one of the dystopian incoming realities. Automation will be extremely pervasive in daily life and especially in urban environments. But because it will be dumb and there will be no profit in making it smarter or to improve respectfu

By far the easiest way to change incentives is with legislation and a 'right to access'. Of course easiest != easy.
