As long as they go into it fully informed, that is the best one could hope for.

Well, they have been bullshitting for loooong time if that is the case. I recall watching a video of Gorbachev talking to the US Congress and warning about NATO/US expansion. This …

> Russia does not want to engage in conflict with a NATO country. If Finland joins NATO then Finland will be at piece for the next century, guaranteed. Russia has not engaged in co…

Following the Kremlin's logic, the advent of hypersonic missiles and the neoconservative bent of US/EU politics, it is seemingly inevitable that war is here.

Qaddafi would like a word.

It is better to call Putin's bluff now rather than wait for Ukraine to fall which might force cooler heads to prevail. Also a dual ascension dares Russia to go to war on two perhap…

> a strong show of force and a no-fly-zone would have stopped this, but it's too late now. Scholz is the Chamberlain of our age. It's not too late to put up a no-fly zone. If it wa…

Of course nations should be free to choose their own path. No-one is arguing against that. Mearsheimer argues that when the path that a country chooses comes into conflict with a g…

I don't see how Ukraine being democratic is an existential threat to Putin in any meaningful way. This situation has been almost 14 years in the reckoning since April 2008. The NAT…

No, I am saying that I had not taken Russia's threat model into account. Given that threat model, Ukraine is an existential issue for them and the resolution of the uncertainty tha…

I was wrong. I admit that. I spoke from a position of superficial knowledge at the time as I ignored the wider context of the situation and was commenting from a position of receiv…

Are we now admitting that NATO was in Ukraine? I thought that was verboten.

I think the rescript forum is more active and would probably have an answer to your question. https://forum.rescript-lang.org/

They are in dire need of a RESF. There is precious little current material on youtube about the language and it seems to have sunk into obscurity which is making me hesitant to pic…

The diplomatic ultimatums as well as the Belarus deployment are in response to the mainstream media's assertions of imminent attack and could also be interpreted as Putin trying to…

There is basically no escalation from Russia. The troop deployment on the Ukraine border mirrors a similar deployment in April last year[1]. It is just convenient (Biden's domestic…

Mortality rate (p.50) and hospital admissions (p.44) muddy the picture quite considerably. Would love to see similar figures for other countries in Europe.

I learnt it from the news during the Clinton years. Took quite a while to make the connection. You can add on Tucson to that list as well.

Are there any resources e.g books, blogs etc. that have a low-level description of the data structures/algos involved when SQL queries are run?

You are right. What is happening in the major universities is not representative of the majority of universities. Therefore I agree that, depending on where you look and how you lo…
