It was my uncle, not father. There's no way to know for fact as everything was done in secrecy and many archives were destroyed or are still locked in Russia, but I guess that the list of "expendables" were present for such cases. Some facts that highlights suspicion: 1) he was young (19-20 yo) and recently back from mandatory service in army, so still high in reserve list 2) he was not a member of Communist party, nor had any influential relatives 3) he was working as a truck driver and did not have any other qualifications, so easily replaceable. The fact that he had young children probably didn't bother anybody or made through bureaucratic apparatus in time. According to various sources, few to several thousands of Lithuanians were taken to Chernobyl during few years time (the exact numbers probably will never be known, as most other numbers regarding this disaster) and many of them were not so lucky and had to work inside/near the reactor building itself, so it's hard to speculate what could have been. Though the fact that he was taken with such haste, only few hours after the meltdown, might suggest that they had an emergency for drivers.

"they wouldn't need to go all the way to another region to get them"

It was a common practice for Soviets to get people from far regions to do dirty jobs, because it's easier to hide nasty deeds this way and prevent rumors from spreading. As an example, most of Lithuanians served in far regions of Siberia while at the same time most of soldiers stationed here were from Mongolia and the like.
Hello, I'm that guy who voluntarily writes a mixture of Python and Haskell in his day job.

For me, it's about recognizing the strengths in both languages. You mentioned Python having "one or two cool libraries", but that's quite an understatement if you're doing any sort of numerical work. NumPy and SciPy are incredibly powerful, fast, and consistent. While hMatrix and Accelerate are both wonderful packages and have made some great progress, they don't have nearly the community support that Numpy does.

On the reverse side, when I'm dealing with any sort of interactive system (e.g. Web Scraper or Motor Controller), I immediately reach for Haskell, since it makes those kinds of applications so much easier.

For me it's mostly about just finding the right tool for the job. And trying to avoid any job where the right tool is Fortran.
Although people may be reluctant to admit it, I suspect a large part of the 'similarity' is significant whitespace and the lack of ceremony when defining functions.

Yeah, they're a lot like Blackwater that way.

Snark aside, I find it deeply fascinating just how broad a benefit of the doubt UN peacekeepers get, compared to anything that has to do with the US military, or, heaven forbid it, Blackwater. Especially considering that most of what we hear about those organisations is filtered through the very same "controversy-obsessed" media.

Shouldn't every idle core be in low power mode? Doesn't the idle instruction (hlt) tell the cpu to power parts down? I thought it was like a switch, you don't need light? Flip it off, need some? Turn it on at nearly no cost.

There might be newer multistage power down but to wear level and use all cores, this is the right algorithm.

"Container" is simply a place where you can read the content today. That can be a HDD, it can be AWS, it can be a USB drive - doesn't matter as long as you have a system that can read it. Once that "container" starts to get near it's EOL you transfer it to a new "container".

I wouldn't trust a HDD for 20 years. Keep a backup mirror locally and a backup offsite (cloud or at a relative), what matter is that the transfer is automatically running in a periodic manner.
That's the easy way out - therefore, step 0. Step 1 is "we tried throwing hardware at it, didn't help a lot, now what?" ("Well throw more hardware then" rarely gives a measurable improvement.)

To the downvoter: Maybe in your fantasy world, throwing more computing power at problems solves Eeeverything, including P ?= NP. I do wonder - why people even bother offering such services as the OP, if it's so pointless?
I don't agree that abstraction layers inherently hide inefficiencies.

In C++, `unique_ptr` is an "abstraction layer" with no runtime overhead, that will probably make your code faster due to the better safety.

I think VSCode is amazing - if only I could change the colour of the blue status bar. I find it highly distracting. There's a Github issue about it, with MS saying that they may add more general customisation support in the future, but it doesn't seem like there's a short term solution.

I know it seems like such a minor thing, but I can't have that attention seeker on my screen. Which is a bummer, because I think IntelliSense and its Git integration are clear benefits over Sublime Text. And apart from this issue, I really, really like the UI.
it runs on some very underpowered machines, so i guess it's not that much of a performance hit.

No, absolutely not. In fact there is a growing trend away from single use zoning towards mixed use communities.

Times are changing but it's not going to happen over night.

The OP asked about the stigma of bike riding and I was providing some context to help him understand why the stigma exists. I wasn't trying to advocate for or against anything, just trying to explain the current state of affairs.

BTW, checking for the referer header content will cause some browsers to fail, depending on the mode. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer#Referer_hiding , which lists some of the reasons for why a browser might send a blank value.

The check that the User Agent contains "Mozilla 5.0" will cause text-mode users (eg, links) to fail. While not popular, I use links to download some tar.gz files from sourceforge and a few other places because it's easier to start the download that way than get the actual download URL through a graphical browser.
It's fairly close, it's just the "local rich" for whom the UBI is an additive rather than their main income source has been abstracted for donations.

Not true, even in multithreaded scenarios the A9 is more performant than the multicore android phones or it has a comparable performance in the worst case if I remember correctly.

Why isn't he using the Alpine based Redis image when comparing final image sizes?

It's unfair to say the official Redis image is 177mb because the Alpine version is available on the Docker Hub[1] and it's only 15.95mb.

Alpine is pretty awesome if your main goal is to shrink images without any effort[2].

This is another incident of thinking that IT startups are the same as Biotech startups, or any science startup. Marginal increments in IT can be worth BILLIONS, marginal increments in Biotech aren't worth the paper they are printed on (that may be a bit of an exaggeration), and the biggest reason is cost to get into market. IT has low costs if any to enter a market place, except in the rare exceptions where the FCC is involved, the average cost to get a drug to market is something like $500MM and YEARS of regulatory approval. It's not worth investing in a marginal increment, you invest in moonshots and as you collect more data and better understand how the drug performs to either continue to invest (if it remains promising) or shelve it if it only looks marginally better.

While the market analysis needs to happen it is much less rigorous than IT startups. Hey 100,000 people die every year from infections acquired in hospitals, great lemme call around see what hospitals are willing to pay and sell to them. Lets not forget the other 600,000 that acquire infections from hospitals, for which under the Affordable Care Act the hospital has to pay for. Great sounds like I have a business as long as my product doesn't surpass a certain price threshold. In biotech you are either a billion dollars or a bust, there is no in-between because new products cost so much you have to have those high returns.

Not many IT startups NEED $500MM just to get their first sale.

Employee here - which discussion around NewSQL would you like to have? You pay for the consistency in more round trips between replicas, and you need a quorum of your nodes (which carry your data) to be alive.

The ideal would be to give it to the entire population of a small, poor island nation. You could then get a very good idea of its impacts without worrying too much about perverse incentives and other outcomes. It's unclear to me how this study is going to deal with people moving into the UBI villages.
When I was a little kid, I walked or rode my bike. Everyone did. And back then, crime was multiple times higher than today.

I too have wondered more or less the same, though I have yet to build any projects that need to scale so I haven't turned it into an actual concern for myself as of yet. Hoping you find a solution and share it in here so those of us like me who are curious can learn. It might end up being a mixture of solutions. I can only remember an open source interface that managed multiple cloud providers, not sure if it did any autoscaling, was posted on HN and that's all I remembered, somebody open sourced it but it's description was vague as hell.

Learn improvisation and be like MacGyver
If the goal is solely Docker images with a standard size in the 20-40MB range, this can be achieved without additional tooling. After switching our development and deployment flow to docker, my team quickly tired of the 200-400MB images that seemed to be accepted as commonplace. We started basing our containers on alpine (essentially, busybox with a package manager) or alpine derivatives, and dropped into that target size immediately. Spinning up 8-10 microservices locally for a full frontend development stack is a shockingly better experience when that involves a 200MB download rather than a 2GB one.

This is in no way a negative commentary on Nix; it looks like an interesting solution to a well-known problem.
Why would that require you to use vendor chargers only?

Surely it depends how the digital signature is used. At best, it simply gives you a way of authenticating that the device that you have just plugged into your USB port is actually what you think it is (huh? It's meant to be a memory stick, not a keyboard?!) before giving it system access.
Why computer science programs don't require cybersecurity classes
I am in favour of software that tries to make your life easier, but hate, with a passion, developers that are so in love with their helpful feature X, that they ram it down your throat (You WILL use this feature and LIKE it!) and give you no easy way, or often, no way at all, to bypass or disable said "helpful"/"smart" feature.

Case in point: I recently bought an excellent large(ish) Dell monitor. Lovely bit of kit, but after a few days had me wanting to throw it out of the window. The reason was the power saving mode. The monitor is supposed to have the ability to "intelligently" understand you are not using it, switch the screen off and go into a sleep mode. All good and well until one discovers that the specific combination of graphics card, multiple monitor setup and video connectors one is using confuses the poor beast and it will happily shut your monitor down while you are actively using it.

The kicker that was driving me crazy was, of course, there is no way to disable this particular functionality!

For the truly paranoid, I advise to put an additional copy in cold storage at a bank vault at bank A. Print the GPG private key and passphrase out and put it in a bank vault at bank B. Handle permissions to access these vaults within your family as you like it.

Bank A shouldn't be in the same region/area as bank B in case a desaster strikes and floods the vault(s).

Then play that scenario through whenever you update your keys/data.
The trend around Atlanta is for the affluent to just build further from the city, not to revitalize or rebuild. The middle and upper middle class seem to be the ones doing the revitalization efforts as they try to move back into the cities away from the suburbs. It's leaving this ring suburban homes form the 60s-80s around the perimeter of Atlanta that are falling into disrepair.
But then the BI might not be enough to support families. It's a tricky problem.

Edit: the point being that children are the ones who suffer most from poverty, and investing in them has the most long term potential. But of course we don't want people to have kids just for the money, hence the difficulty.

Hey, sorry for the late response, but I was fielding this question around the lab to get thoughts.

The general consensus is that because we aren't relying on biology to prevent the spread of infection but rather the physical chemistry the likely hood of the bacteria evolving is significantly lower.

Our goal isn't to prevent all bacteria to sticking to all surfaces (forcing them to evolve), but rather to control what areas they do stick to. We just want the bacteria to hang out away for areas that can lead to infections. If we coat a door handle in our polymer films, the bacteria will simply fall to the floor, it is really unlikely for the bacteria to make it's way from the floor to a nurses shoe to a patients vascular catheter, then the bacteria is killed during the daily mopping of the floor, so I've done my job of herding the bacteria until it can be killed.
