We always have to ask what language is it auto-completing for? If it is a strictly typed language, then existing tooling is already doing everything possible and I see no need for additional improvement. If it is non-strictly typed language, then I can see how it can get a little more helpful, but without knowledge of actual context I am not sure if it can get a lot more accurate.

That is a natural reaction of person that tracks only western MSM and doesn’t pay attention to gradual rise in western politician attitudes.

Russian nuclear doctrine change reflects changed attitude in western propaganda.

You must not be aware of the following developments. Poland is already primed to fight. Baltic states openly talk about preemptive strike on Russia. Western long range weapons are pretty much cleared to strike “old” Russian territory. Country on southern side of Russia is set to become 2nd Ukraine. NATO general claims that Russia will not use nukes under any circumstances and thus justifies any level of involvement.

In this environment expansion of nuclear deterrence is pretty much the only option from Russian point of view.

Please note that inside Russia there are calls to strike from Kiev to London due to crossing of previously announced red lines. Someone was right here. Putin is moderate if not outright inactive.

The above creates potentially unstable environment inside Russia and may give Russian government additional motivation to use nukes at location of regional importance.

There are some reasons for western side to provoke Russia, which nobody here wants to discuss or acknowledge.

It shall come as no surprise that NATO has larger military than Russia. Russia never made it a secret that the only way to balance out conventional strength difference is with nukes.

The calculation on Russian side is that they will destroy large amount of opposing side military and equipment. It should be enough to stop any meaningful ground action.

So, reality is very close to getting out of control.

All it takes is a small provocation on the border side that looks like invasion even if it is just a large scale disruption in communication on the border line and incursion of some military equipment.

The later happened already on Belorussian border in last 12 months. So the scenario was tested in part by Poland.

Be aware, that trusted Certificate Authority (CA) configuration applies to ALL certificates issued by CA. Thus, if one elects to trust "actalis" CA, then they trust ALL actalis CA users.

If the process of obtaining certificate was extremely simple, easy and did not involve identity verification steps, then bad actors can take advantage of this process and create identities that your client application will trust.

By itself the bad actor identity is of little concern to anybody, but it can have a significant impact if trusted identity is used in spam filtering, exploits of email client bugs or other hack attempts. Trusted users may be given higher access privilege at the client application level, which may be just enough for hacker to gain required access. For example, client application may be configured to trust all trusted senders with MIME attachments. An unknown trusted user sends malicious Application as file attachment. Accidental double click lunches the application without "are you sure?" prompt. Congratulations, machine is pwned.

The problem is easily mitigated by not importing root CA for easy CAs.

Preference order is: Fast IO like SSD and mirror RAID, then RAM size, then core count and then core speed.

This is not RUST specific.

The article is a dream of how to save face.

In short: Ukraine is on the path to loose, it is loosing. Current levels of western support is not sufficient. Population support is dwindling.

Let’s save face by freezing conflict at current lines.

The article completely dismisses official Russian position, that is glossed over in western news sources in the 1st place: Ukraine must accept new Russian territory, withdraw its troops from this territory.

Article called current Russian position as maximalist, but when announced it was pointed out that it is actually a minimalist position. Putin stated directly that as Russia advances on the ground, conditions will change.

The article is a feeble attempt at getting closer to reality on the ground.

hardlink

Most underrated tool that is frequently installed on your system. It recognizes BTRFS. Be aware that there are multiple versions of it in the wild.

It is unattended.

With requirements like yours, just use RUST itself.

GO language can be used as scripting language on Linux.

I imagine the same approach can be used with RUST.

Fish is all I need for daily CLI. It is zero customization effort for me. Spend your time on productive side, not fzf your shell history.

https://fishshell.com/docs/current/tutorial.html

Keep bash as default root shell and just start fish manually when using root. It is for cases when linux panics on boot.

It depends on your location and particularly on how strong the seasons are at your place.

Mine lasted for years as far as battery is concerned.

Unfortunately the loudness level has dropped significantly. I went to Apple store and they acknowledged this as that’s what happens to them.

Eventually I gave up and replaced with alternative lower cost similar style headphones. The sound level is plenty, but microphone is terrible. I tried several and found I found similar problems. It is acceptable for much lower cost, but doesn’t compare.
