Tänään on ilmestynyt tietoja että #Rheinmetall voisi toimittaa 🇺🇦:n #Leopard1A5 vaunuja jopa 50 kpl ja joista ensimmäiset saataisiin jo viikossa. #bundeswehr'hän myi vaunut jatkomyytiä varten 2003 jälkeen Rheinmetallille, mutta niistä ei ("yllättäen") tullut myyntimenestystä 1/x

\U0001f1e9\U0001f1ea #Rheinmetall could deliver the first tanks #Leopard1 to #Ukraine\U0001f1fa\U0001f1e6 in six weeks and the rest over the following three months through its subsidiary Rheinmetall Italia if it gets a green light from the German government. https://t.co/DUp8VfLlJB

Itse Leopard 1A5 on Leopard1 perheen kehityksen huopentuma, koska kylmän sodan päättyessä uutta A6-mallia ei koskaan otettu käyttöön. Tällä hetkellä vaunu on lähinnä käytössä Etelä-Amerikassa Hollanni ja Belgian jäämistöstä sekä tietysti Euroopan romuhautaamossa Kreikassa 2/x

#Leopard1'n suunniteltufilosofia oli aikanaan suunnitella tulivoimainen, kevyt ja liikkuva, mutta sitä kautta väkisinkin kevyesti panssaroitu taisteluvaunu. Se aseistettiin 60-luvun parhaalla kanuunalla eli Royal Ordinanacen 105mm:n rihlatulla L7:lla. 3/x

Tämä konsepti ei lopulta kantanut, mikä johti sitten 1970-lopussa #Leopard2:n. Samaan aikaan kuitenkin todettiin kylmän sodan ollessa huipussaan pitää myös #Leopard1:n iskukyky yllä.
Leopard1A5 onkin varustettu samoilla lämpökameroilla ja ammunnanhallinnalla kun Leopard2A4. 4/x

#Leopard1A5:n etu 🇺🇦:lle olisikin varsin käyttökelpoinen pimeätaistelukyky joka oli selkeästi parempi kun varsinkin viimeaikoina kuviin ilmestyneissä 🇷🇺:n T-72A ja B malleissa. Toisaalta vaunu heikkous on suoja joka on todella kevyt jopa T-72:n verrattuna ja tulialivoimainen 5/x

The most powerful feature that Twitter has:

Advanced search

Until recently I hadn't even heard of it, but now I use it all the time.

Here are 6 twitter advanced search features that will revolutionise the way you search for what to read: 🧵👇

Before we get started, you might be wondering why you need advanced search?

Your main feed just shows what's being posted NOW.

But there's absolute gold in the old tweets from experts you love + big accounts you follow.

Lots of learning just waiting there for us.

Here's how:

1. Find tweets from a particular person.

Want to see what @Liz_ORiordan's been tweeting about?

Just type in the search bar:

from:Liz_ORiordan

Want to see tweets to @LondonAllergy?

to:londonallergy

Combine these to see their interactions:

from:Liz_ORiordan to:londonallergy

2. Find tweets on a specific topic.

Keywords will keep your search results on topic.

Want to find what @kathevans2 has been saying about vaccinations?

from:kathevans2 vaccinations

But what if you want to exclude tweets about measles?

Just add - to the search term:

-measles

3. Find tweets that are popular.

You can set a minimum number of retweets, faves, or replies:

min_retweets: x
min_faves: x
min_replies: x

@OrthopodReg has been paving the way for culture change, but what if we want his most popular tweets?

друзі, роблю невеличкий тредик зі слів мами про те, як вона місяць провела в окупованій Бородянці. вона мало розказує, але є чим поділитися.
звʼязок з мамою ми втратили 2 березня. тоді вже третій день як колони танків катали туди-сюди і гатили без перестанку.

на той момент у нашому домі вже не було вікон, мама і бабуся були в сараї, де вікон теж не було. зараз будинок виглядає так.

мама ховалася в погребі. бабусі 92 роки. вона не могла підвестися і спуститися драбиною в підвал і просто сиділа на стулі. того дня вона впала і не могла підвестися, мама підняти теж її не могла. вона лежала майже добу на бетонній підлозі в холодному сараї. і так вона і померла.

я дуже багато переймалася про те, що би було з мамою, якщо вона залишилася там з мертвою бабусею, яку неможливо поховати. тому хороші новини в тому, що наступного ж ранку сусіди йшли через наш двір, і забрали маму. бабусю сусідські чоловіки і працівник кладовища поховали.

маму забрали до сусідів через декілька хат (з якими ми ніколи наче не спілкувалися до цього, тільки тато знав усю Бородянку). там мама місяць жила з жінкою і її чоловіком. мама і Тося три тижні не виходили з підвалу, а Микола залишався зверху,щоб якщо завалить, він міг їх достати

A thread of System.Text.Json features in the .NET 6. 🧵

Retweets are appreciated ☺️

#dotnet6 #coding #devcommunity #json #programming

Ignore circular

In .NET 5, you can preserve references for circular references using System.Text.Json.

But you couldn't ignore them. The 'JsonException' is thrown if circular references have been detected.

In .NET 6, you can ignore them \U0001f642 #dotnet6 #json #coding #devcommunity pic.twitter.com/FnvR8gjwvN
— Oleg Kyrylchuk (@okyrylchuk) October 6, 2021

Notifications for

In .NET 6, System.Text.Json exposes notifications for (de)serialization.

There are four new interfaces to implement according to your needs:
\u2022 IJsonOnDeserialized
\u2022 IJsonOnDeserializing
\u2022 IJsonOnSerialized

— Oleg Kyrylchuk (@okyrylchuk) October 7, 2021

Serialization order of

In .NET 6, the 'JsonPropertyOrderAttribute' has been added to System.Text.Json.

It allows controlling the serialization order of properties.

Previously, the serialization order was determined by reflection order.#dotnet6 #json #coding #devcommunity pic.twitter.com/5sBJRWOvcX

Write raw JSON with

.NET 6 introduces the possibility to write 'raw' #json with System.Text.Json.Utf8JsonWriter.

Useful when you want:
\u2022 to enclose existing JSON in new JSON
\u2022 to format values differently from the default formatting#dotnet6 #coding #devcommunity pic.twitter.com/NguR3wEOAM

So, there have been some things going on with .NET Hot Reload you may have heard of this week. It's an important issue. Others had it covered so I thought I'd hang back, but I've seen calls for more voices, so here's mine. 🧵 1/

Some background: Microsoft merged a PR that removed Hot Reload from the .NET 6 despite it working, an unusual move, and said it was due to prioritization for Visual Studio. There has been lots of backlash, snark, and attempts to reinstate it as a result. 2/

First up: Lots of amazing people work at MS who care about OSS and the community. Folks I continue to look up to. MS contains multitudes, and I think we'd all do well to keep that in mind. I'm rooting for them. 3/

On to the opinion section-- This decision is troubling for a bunch of reasons: 1) The surprise factor 2) The transparent business interest driving it while pretending otherwise 3) the communication around it 4) The implication of those business moves for the larger community. 4/

1) Surprises: this code was working, in an RC release, and people were starting to use it. It had been touted as a great feature of .NET 6. Then it was just gone, "de-prioritized". But de-prioritized doesn't mean it has to be removed. Patterns exist for flagging it, etc. 5/

All my tweets about C# 10 features in one thread. 🧵

Retweets are appreciated 😊

#dotnet #csharp #coding #devcommunity

Constant interpolated

C# 10 allows initializing 'const' strings using string interpolation, but the placeholder must also be a 'const' string.

The placeholder can't be a numeric constant cause it's converted to string at runtime.

Will you use the feature in your code?#dotnet #coding #devcommunity pic.twitter.com/H52ithdZC4
— Oleg Kyrylchuk (@okyrylchuk) September 9, 2021

Extended property

Starting from C# 10, you can reference nested properties or fields within a proper pattern.

The property pattern becomes more readable and requires fewer curly brackets \U0001f642

What do you think about the feature? #dotnet #coding #devcommunity pic.twitter.com/iHmbdYUAOW
— Oleg Kyrylchuk (@okyrylchuk) September 10, 2021

File scoped

C# 10 introduces a new way of namespace declarations - file scoped namespaces.

However, you cannot declare a nested namespace or a second file-scoped namespace in the same file.

C# continue to rid of curly brackets {\U0001f600}#dotnet #programming #devcommunity pic.twitter.com/docHOfZQYf
— Oleg Kyrylchuk (@okyrylchuk) September 11, 2021

Global

C# 10 adds a new modifier to a 'using' directive - 'global'.

It means that 'using' is applied to all files in the compilation.

All 'global using' directives must be before non-global 'using' directives.

It can be combined with a 'static' modifier#dotnet #coding #devcommunity pic.twitter.com/osr3ZPh5AI

Several years ago, a neighbor kid kicked a football and shattered a small basement window. We were a family of six living on a teacher's salary at the time, so I boarded it up, thinking I'd get to it someday. The frame was rusted shut. I couldn't fix it.

1/

Over the years, I'd sometimes get estimates from window companies. Of course, the plan was to upgrade to energy-efficient windows for the whole house. $15,000. It was simply out of reach. In the meantime, the boarded window let in bugs but not light.

2/

One contractor explained that the location of the window, with the frame embedded in the foundation, meant that whoever replaced it would need to chisel it out by hand, a labor-intensive and expensive process. And there were six of those windows in the house.

3/

Honestly, the thought of that window ate at me for years. Every time I went down there, every time I went to the hardware store, it nagged at me. I knew I needed to address it, but I had built up the process (and the price) so much in my mind that I was paralyzed.

4/

Then my wife had a job change, and we needed to move. I knew that a potential buyer couldn't get an FHA loan on the property if there was a broken window. So I pulled off the boards and cardboard to face this thing head-on. It had been at least 5 years.

A Thread: Results of testing my Dream Phone.

The Dream Phone is my device that allows a sleeping subject to communicate from a dream.

This iteration-Dream Phone SD- induces lucid dreams, detects morse code eye messages from the lucid dreamer, and stores them on an SD card.

Dream Phone SD Test
Night 1

Turned off by itself. Think needs new 9v battery. Took it off at 1:48am.

Until that point, had trouble sleeping because of hyper awareness, desire to fall asleep.

LEDs detached from board, need to reattach.

Dream Phone SD
Night 2

Trigger lights went off while I was awake. So need to lengthen the machine’s WAIT_FOR_SLEEP time.

Also need to test the machine’s location for electrical noise, because it went off when my eyes weren’t moving much. It’s sitting on top of a power strip.

An EMG electrode on my chin sensing muscle tone could eliminate the need for a WAIT_FOR_SLEEP time. But I would have to switch to another biosensor kit to add that electrode channel because @BackyardBrains discontinued their biosensor shield.

I tested the EOG signal. As I suspected, the power strip that the dream phone is sitting on top of is creating electrical noise which alters the EOG signal causing the dream phone to think I’m in REM when I’m not.

Because not everyone knows: If Bitcoin’s price ever reaches $1m it will output more carbon than the entire US and consume 2x the entire electrical production of the US.

And it gets worse 🧵

1/8

As the price goes up it’s worth it for miners to spend more to mine a coin. Even if it costs them enormously in energy costs.

Will they? Guaranteed.
2/8

Because this has the exact same financial incentive as the drug trade.

As long as someone who wants to better their finances can make a fortune destroying a common good at least one psychopath will do that.
3/8

And Bitcoin is (largely) anonymous so they could be the PRC or North Korea but they could just as likely be warlords who invade and capture nuke plants.
4/8

There won’t be a way to stop these miners because the financial incentives are all backward and built *deliberately* so.

Bitcoin is propped up by people who don’t trust community decisions. They’ve inoculated BTC against human society.

Today we’re going to talk about "the blockchain" and why it’s one of the dumbest most harmful faux innovations to ever come out of the tech industry. (1/) 🧵

Last week we talked about #bitcoin climate change denialism, the fallacy of whataboutism, and comparisons to the financial services sector.

Today let's deconstruct the argument concerning bitcoin's absurd energy waste compared to the financial services sector, because this is a very silly bait and switch argument comparing apples and oranges. \U0001f9f5 (1/)
— Stephen Diehl (@smdiehl) February 13, 2021

The common talking point among policy makers is that while bitcoin is boiling the oceans and is nothing but a predatory get rich quick scheme for siphoning money from fools—the underlying technology "the blockchain" is revolutionary tech that will transform global commerce. (3/)

This is however not tethered to the reality of the software industry. The overwhelming consensus among programmers and technologists is that blockchain is completely useless technology for anything but speculative digital gambling on tokens.

Ok, so what do we even mean when we say “blockchain”.

The answer is really that nobody knows, it’s not a term that has any precise definition and it really depends on who you talk to and the context.
