So, a bunch of links about the US administration saying how bad Huawei is.

What's wrong with Huawei?

Maybe you mean what Trump said about it?

Well, he also said the 2020 election was robbed. Among many other things that nobody would believe.

NATO were not the instigators there, not by a long shot. It was overreach, sure, but I fail to see the equivelancy. NATO didn't invade any country and didn't seize any territories.

That's not the point. It was an attack and civilians died. Don't pretend that some civilians deaths are better than others just because we, the good guys from the NATO, were just "saving the world" another time. Also, we can say Russia is not the instigator here as well, and they are just addressing Ukraine's lack of compliance with the Minks agreements and attacks to the Russian communities in eastern Ukraine.

Please, anyone reading the comments of the person above, don't be fooled, this is Russian propaganda, whether the person above is acting in good faith is irrelevant.

I know, everything other that the official "free world" statements is propaganda. You may suggest the HN admins to ban my account, just to get a community with more plurality where only the official statements from the western countries are allowed.

Well, NATO is not just a "defensive" alliance, it's more of another tool used to primarily protect the interests of the US. And of course NATO attacked countries in the past. You remember Yugoslavia, or Bosnia and Herzegovina? They were bombed by NATO just the same way today Ukraine is being attacked by Russia.

You forgot to mention that another war ongoing for 8 years now was also started by Putin

So it's OK to kill civilians, your own civilians, in a war, if it was started by somebody else. Good to know that.

And there would be no civilian casualties if Russia wasn't supporting the separatists and if they weren't constantly pushing misinformation over their borders

Sure. And there would be no civilian casualties in Ukraine if its government didn't insist in joining NATO and cease to be a neutral country.

Yes. However that tank could also have prevented other families from being killed. These days we are seeing Putin's war on TV, but another war inside Ukraine has been ongoing for 8 years now. We couldn't see it on western media, of course, but families and civilians were also killed by the same army we're now supporting. So I won't celebrate either, because here, there are no good and bad.

One alternative could be, instead of buying a router, getting a single board computer designed to run whichever routing software you like. Banana pi is an example that comes to my mind. You'd need to get a case, and it won't be as neat as a commercial router.

The point is that there were no sanctions, and there won't be the next time the US decides to invade another country. So punishing Russia this time gives the US an unfair advantage, and that's not good for anyone outside the US.

Oh, it's good to know that. Maybe Russia could get away with the invasion without sanctions just letting his people protest against the war. No matter if the outcome of the war is the same, or if Putin is elected again (as happened with George W. Bush in the US).

That's good, but also:

· We should put extra dollars not to buy goods from Israel, so fewer Palestinian children die

· We should put extra dollars not to buy goods from the US, so fewer Syrian children die

· We should put extra dollars not to buy goods from the UAE, so fewer Yemeni children die

· ...

I'm afraid I don't have so much money.

Why not? Because if they were to side with the "good", then they should stop serving their own US administration.

So how do you connect to the internet? Have you managed to build and assemble your phone/laptop/computer yourself, using custom chips also designed by you, in order to the stay away from the spyware, or do you care only about Huawei's spyware?

Moreover, nobody asked Crimean nations anything. They are shot or moved to Siberia.

Well, they voted in a 2014 referendum.

I know. Everything Lenin did was wrong, except that in favor of the western interests.

How can a country that doesn't control its own territory, and has some ongoing struggles, join NATO in the first place? It's against the rules. Also, why would Russia be kicked out from Crimea and Dombass? Inhabitants from those places want to be independent from Ukraine, the same way Ukraine wanted to be independent from the USSR 30 years ago. And they should not be prevented from that.

Russia said don't join Nato or we'll destroy you, Ukraine. And then Russia attacks Ukraine anyway

They wanted some guarantee that Ukraine would remain a neutral country, and the response they got was that Ukraine was going to join NATO. Even more, NATO's secretary general said not only Ukraine can join NATO, but also, NATO's presence in eastern Europe was to be strengthened. If that was meant to avoid a military conflict, I think they were very wrong.

The only thing I remember, is that the only time nuclear weapons were used, it was not Russia nor the USSR. To me it doesn't look unpredictable at all: Ukraine has long been warned that joining NATO poses a threat to Russia and that they should remain neutral. Yet they decided to continue to provoke Russia (just for the interest of the US) and now they get what they were looking for.

There will no popular support and the long term strategic implications make it untenable

People just want cheap prices for gas, oil... We don't care too much about what happens in Ukraine, we just want to pay our bills. Nobody is going to be cold or hungry just to harm Russia. Capitalism wouldn't exist otherwise, and capitalism is just what the EU is about.

Be aware that using SLF4J does NOT mean you're not using log4j (1 or 2). SLF4J, as it names implies (Simple Logging Facade) is a logging facade, so your code is not tied to a specific logging implementation, like log4j. But it does not do the actual logging, and you have to use some implementation, which can be (and quite often is) log4j.

However, it is right that log4j2 is not as ubiquitous as log4j1. Spring Boot, while using SLF4J, defaults to "logback", if I'm not wrong, which is another logging framework similar to log4j, but not affected with this kind of vulnerabilities.

Thanks, it now makes sense.

Quite strange that this specific driver didn't support asynchronous notifications: if you have to poll the database anyway, there's no much difference between doing it without listen/notify support, I guess.

I read that blog post but I don't quite understand it.

I assumed it would work as a regular pub/sub pattern where you get notified when some event happens. However, in the attached example, they still poll the database every half second. I'm not sure I understand the idea.

Nobody forces you to. The software is available under the Apache 2.0 license.

What I usually do is start typing something like "aupdate" or "pdate" (which are wrong) and only come back at the beginning (it's just a ctrl+a) to fix the command when I'm sure the sentence is OK.

Of course if the update is not only important but critical, manually starting a transaction before is the first step ;)

Here you can see a comparison between some popular JVM distributions and what each one includes.

I guess there is a typo the second time you wrote "2038".

Well, at least the right to life is a human right. It turned out that having to work in a crowded space with many others can be a real threat for your life.

lack of enterprise support.

You don't get that with Java 8 either, unless you are willing to pay for it. In that case, what's the difference between paying Oracle for support for Java 8 and newer releases?

Would you believe it if anyone said this to be the case, 10 years ago?

To be honest, Microsoft astroturfers have long existed, for much more than 10 years.

Yes, but that can be achieved by using a hostname alone (router, nas, printer, htpc...). What does the domain bring?
