Last minute deal: Jeg holder foredrag i IDA i morgen om hvordan man kommer fra punkter til digitalt objekt: ida.dk/arrangementer-og-kurs… Der er fokus på træer, på at få alle punkter med og på de praktiske løsninger, der findes hvis man ikke har punkter endnu!

This stone tablet from 1800-1600 BC shows that ancient Babylonians were able to approximate the square root of two with 99.9999% accuracy. How did they do it?

A Palestinian Gay man was just granted asylum in Israel, by the Israeli Supreme Court, because of persecution based on his sexuality in the West Bank. Why would a Palestinian gay man request asylum in the country that is allegedly committing genocide against his own people?🤔

A slowly turning gyroid intersected by a plane. I quite like how the intersections look like droplets splitting and merging. Possibly a #codevember post. Rendering in GLSL/OpenGL

IMO you need some understanding of how a computer works to code well. So, here is an explanation of a computer in relatively simple terms. compute.dtu.dk/~janba/what_i… Constructive input is welcome, and let me know if it is
50% Terrific (but knew that)
0% Helpful (and can't code)
0% Hard to understand

#Ukraine: Remarkable video from the Ukrainian 30th Mechanized Brigade showing a BM-27 Uragan MRL resupply point of the Russian Army struck by artillery in Irmino, #Luhansk. 3x 9P140 launchers, 2x 9T452 transloaders & 5x trucks full of rockets are seen- almost entirely destroyed.

Btw, Putin is deliberately awarding the unit for its war crimes. On the field of battle around Kyiv, the Russian Army was soundly defeated. He certainly can’t honour them for that. No this is an honour for massacring Ukrainian civilians.

Putin's former chief economic adviser Andrei Illarionov argues that a full embargo on Russian oil could end the war within two months because it would cut the Russian state budget by half. edition.cnn.com/videos/world…

I hope the idea of not buying any more fuel from Russia no longer seems as difficult now as it did to many a few days ago. Add that to arming Ukraine well and quickly, and it’s the best way to end this atrocity quickly. That’s the best choice ethically and strategically.
Anton Senenko: Ukrainian rescuers have entered liberated #Irpin. They collect bodies of killed civilians after sappers do their part - russians had mined the corpses. First, dead people are taken from streets, then rescuers will start going door to door

Mass executions. Mass rape. Starved cities. Deliberate shelling of hospitals, libraries, schools & apartments. Genocide & war crimes in Ukraine by an army that committed genocide in Syria & Chechnya. The case for unlimited military support to Ukraine is irrefutable: do it.

Russia is making money from the war, and the EU is tolerating it. Russian oil and gas have to be boycotted, otherwise the war will never end.

We're seeing the **strongest** flows of Russian gas into the European Union since the invasion of Ukraine started, with Mallnow registering 3 consecutive days of non-stop flows, plus steady high inflows at Velke and NS1. At current prices, that's quite a bounty for the Kremlin

NATO/EU should enforce a full embargo on Russian oil, gas and coal. It should also continue to arm Ukraine and threaten China with sanctions if it supports Russia. Isolate Russia completely and the war might end soon. Please retweet if you agree.
To those abroad scared of being ‘dragged into WWIII’. Ukraine fights back successfully. We need you to help us fight. Provide us with all necessary weapons. Apply more sanctions on Russia and isolate it fully. Help Ukraine force Putin into failure and you will avert a larger war.

Too late. EU must enforce an embargo on Russian oil, gas and coal immediately. It might be the one thing, apart from Ukraine winning on the battlefield, that can stop the war fast. I urge the EU to show some bravery and to do the right thing: Boycott Russian oil, gas and coal.
⚡️ Minister: Germany to stop most Russian oil imports by end of 2022. German Economy Minister Robert Habeck also told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that Germany would stop importing Russian coal by fall. Yet, he added that it’s hard to halt imports of Russian gas.

This is Russia's terms of trade, i.e. the ratio of export over import prices. Invasion of Ukraine drove energy prices up massively, so the terms of trade are as high as in 2007/8 during "peak oil." Only way to stop this windfall for Putin is to reduce imports of Russian energy...

"It’s the oil and gas revenue that gives the Kremlin the hard currency." Take away the cash and it will be much harder for Russia to fight the war. That's just the way it is.
Replying to @McFaul
It’s the oil and gas revenue that gives the Kremlin the hard currency. While western companies leaving shows commitment to principles over profit if oil and gas funds can’t be cut then Putin continues to fund his war. It’s hard, but it’s necessary to stop the war.
