  • Russia doesn’t need Ukraine on its own, they need Ukraine to get access Poland, Romania and Moldova.

    They already switched into war time production, and if they manage to get Ukraine they only need a year or two to replenish all military equipment.

    People really underestimate Russia and that’s the worst thing you can do to get caught pants down. If Russia senses there’s a chance to succeed they will move on.

    Another thing the West seems to be ignoring is that they think the war is just what is happening in Ukraine, when the majority of their operation is disinformation, subversion, and destabilization.

    The popularity of far right politicians (who for some reason are friendly toward Kremlin) or BRExit shows how effective it is.



  • But does actually work like an IDE? I for example love PyCharm understanding type annotation. Not only it highlights errors, but also improves autocompletion and makes big refactoring less scary.

    The integration with data grip (unfortunately that’s available in paid version) allows for similar behavior with SQL contained in strings. Which IMO fixes the impedance mismatch that created the need for query builders and ORM frameworks.








  • I’m guessing you don’t work in corporate environment or no longer work from home.

    There are times when video is expected to be on, but you don’t want to show your room to everyone.

    Having said that I can’t think of firefox being able to stream video yet not being able to do this, so likely it is Google’s way to make its competitor look subpar. Probably can be fixed by spoofing user agent. Ironically the most recent change in Chrome will make this very difficult in the future.




  • When I said half life, I made a mental shortcut that it degrades into harmless compounds.

    The 12 days just means how long the body keeps most of tritium.

    You are talking how much radiation the water causes and that it is smaller than radiation from banana, and I’m talking that this “banana” stays in your body for 12 days and part of it your body integrates by replacing your hydrogen with its radioactive counterpart.

    You work with radiation, but this isn’t just about radiation, but also involves organic chemistry and metabolism.


  • That 12 days is not a half life, but it is how long it stays in the body before you pee it out. This only matters if you had a single incident of drinking the water or eating contaminated food not if you are constantly exposed to it then each time you consume affected foods you know it stays with you for about 12 days and small part of it stays with you forever as your body doesn’t see the difference between tritium and hydrogen, so it will be happy to use the radioactive version, which could increase your chances of cancer as well as your future generations.




  • Here’s my view. Lemmy.nz is intended for an NZ audience. Hexbear has been defederated from 5 of the top 8 largest instances. This is problematic for us, as their All is much more likely to show lemmy.nz posts than All on other instances. It starts to feel like we’re being brigaded, even though we aren’t, because their instance is the 10th largest Lemmy instance and yet they don’t see most Lemmy posts (but they do see ours).

    I could be wrong, but my understanding is that when instance like hexbear is defederated, they can still see your posts, they can even comment and vote on them. You just don’t see it anymore. They would have to defederate on their side too, to completely block it.



  • With ISP what is really need is Local-loop unbundling but extending to ISPs.

    Those that are old enough to use DSL in early 2000, might remember there was a lot of ISPs to chose from. The reason for it was that due to Title II telco companies were required to lease lines to their competitors. When cable started to be popular, ISPs lobbied politicians to categorize it under Title I which removed that requirement. We got Internet back to be categorized as Title II, but this specific rule was excluded and this is what is necessary to bring the competition.
