This is generally regarded as a bad idea. It's hard to see where that stops without a nuclear war.

Posting account is suspicious as it was created at the time of the comment for the comment and the username has no other trace on the internet. Very suspect, impossible to prove of course though. I'm getting 6 minutes between comment and reply though, not seconds, and unless the developer was actively fighting they'd still be getting email notifications to their phone but unlikely to be at sitting at home patching Vu…
> Posting account is suspicious as it was created at the time of the comment for the comment and the username has no other trace on the internet. Very suspect, impossible to prove of course though. Seems pretty common to me. People frequently create accounts on sites just to ask a question or because they need something. This is probably the most common case / the long tail of most activity on social media sites.

You shouldn't read your employer's actions as uncaring. Ultimately it depends on where they are getting their money from. If that dries up, then there is no team anyway. I completely see your point, but I also see the difficulty your employer has. They can't just wait for the war to finish before getting their business going again.
I had a similar experience when I was interviewing for a company and got down with fever and intense coughing, with the HR guy saying "so you cannot attend the interview". Sure, lemme just drive by your company in a woozy state and answer every technical question while getting interrupted by a tingling sensation in my right lung that causes coughing every 10-15 seconds like a germ machine gun. After explaining to the…
After all, everyone know that these companies are in business for the convienence of their (potential) employees. Not to do anythig radical like, idk, be successful or make money.

Not saying this is what happened here, but there are reasons why an outcome that appears cold can, upon digging, result from everyone ultimately acting in good faith.

> The day after the invasion, I was flabbergasted by how much people don’t give a sht. My Twitter feed was (and still is) people announcing their new ventures, doing their usual marketing, posting their vacay pics etc. Your Twitter feed reflects your active choices in who to follow and what to interact with. My Twitter feed has been largely dominated with the invasion since it occurred (though there are a couple othe…
Valid point, but the lack of empathy among the people I follow is concerning.
I've seen people complain about YouTube for example - they eventually realize that what YouTube recommends is what they watch. If they want better recommends, they need to watch different things.
Nice touch, is the demo¹ of this colorgradient-picker tool using the national Ukranian blue-yellow colors. Might have always been like this, I never looked at it until today. But still nice detail. ¹ https://insky.github.io/vue-gpickr/

When and in what circumstances? There are military accidents, or what can plausibly be called accidents. Intentionally shooting down a plane, especially during a war, is another matter.

Crazy as things are going I am expecting Russia to declare that as kind of allied declaration against them.
That's basically what was done the whole Cold War. USA goes to Vietnam --> USSR supports the other fraction with weapons etc. USSR goes to Afghanistan --> USA supports the Afghans etc. Having Cold War situations again isn't desirable of course but it's kind of battle tested to not lead to further, direct, escalations.
My entire team of software engineers are Ukranian, residing in Ukraine (I'm not in Ukraine, nor am I Ukrainian). For the past few weeks our "water cooler talk" has been almost exclusively about the rising threat of invasion, if not directly about the ongoing conflict in the SE of Ukraine. A number of the team signed up for the volunteer defence force and have spent countless weekends training with the army. The morni…

Wouldn’t they instantly get stomped by NATO if they declared in any way to be at war with NATO? Or would they still have to attack a member first? I do realise the risk of nukes at that point but in the hypothetical situation that nukes remain MAD
Also it is quite clear Putin won't lose his face no matter what, and has reached the point of better dead than sorry.
Very sadly how many has he already taken down with such attitude.
