American exceptionalism/imperialism is so funny, especially in the supposedly "good" guys. Yeah man, Ukraine is a non-entity and the rest of Europe is just barely hanging there on its "big brother" America favours, because the world is a game between great empires, right.

I look into my own eyes in 2022, when I had just begun serving in the army, and I am struck by how hopeful and naive I was. I was 34 then, but from where I stand now, I seem almost like a child. I had no real idea what war was. A million people joined the army in the first days

There is a heated discussion at /r/ruby around this article: po-ru.com/2026/07/29/i... My hot take on the matter is the (half-imaginary) MINASWAN principle is an artifact of much simpler times. Thread, out of nowhere:

It doesn’t matter whether “Matz is nice”

I’ve met Matz once, I think, at EuRuKo in Krakow in 2010. We chatted briefly in Japanese. He seemed nice, but also quiet and reserved. At the time, he didn’t speak much English; perhaps he could speak...

I am exasperated with people accusing programmers of "gatekeeping" programming. We were practically dragging people through the gate. Do you know why a mindless LLM can tell you so much great programming information? It's because we've been sharing that information for free online for decades.

You absolutely should be ashamed of spending any significant amount of time on learning about and promoting Russian culture while Russia is actively erasing Ukrainian one and has no remorse of destroying numerous others. Yes, it is a zero sum game. Attention is a finite resource

It's great to see more Ukrainian books translated into English! Here is one from Artur Dron', a Ukrainian writer and a veteran. His book Hemingway Knows Nothing. The book is available for pre-order from Jantar's website.

A young graduate only six months into his dream job joins the 125th Territorial Defence Brigade of the Ukrainian Army in February 2022. Going off to war to defend his loved ones from the Russians, Dron' came to understand that the Ukrainian experience differs fundamentally from that of writer-combatants of the past. Hemingway Knows Nothing is part memoir, part memorial to lost comrades and a timely reminder that frontline soldiers have complex inner lives.

My hot take is: "almost all of it" (especially classic period). That's the reason why LLMs took off for general population so easily. From the consumer point of view, the computer is finally "what we imagined it since 1940s": something you can just talk to casually, ask stuff and give tasks.

Hot take: "Why do we understand that..." You don't. The first "man this crazy with nuclear weapons" was Putin. And everybody treated him like somewhat eccentric yet sane partner. "Reload of relationship" half a year after Georgia war (Obama/Hillary). Meek response in 2014 (Obama). And all the rest.

Meanwhile, Russia can kill you and be sure institutions like that will look away coz Russia made your death “political” and “we don’t talk politics here. It’s a bad taste”

No one likes when I say this, but the Obama admin really is responsible for a lot of what is happening now with Ukraine, and even Trump, since weakness towards russia enabled them to manipulate the 2016 elections. If their economy had been smashed via sanctions or military force, we may not be here.

The resilience of Ukrainian civilians isn’t about being “extraordinary” or heroic. It’s a massive tragedy in the heart of Europe that forces people to adapt. Children are growing up thinking that someone trying to kill them with missiles every night is just normal life.
