Russia's strategic submarine fleet is not the same as the US FBM force. USN boomers are deploying constantly, to the point where they have literally two different crews (Blue and Gold) to minimize the time the actual hulls stay in port (allowing them to spend roughly 2/3 of their service life at sea, an incredibly high utilization rate for a warship). Russian ballistic missile submarines generally average 1-2 sorties a year.

Now, the Soviet (and then Russian) solution to this was to eventually develop missiles that could reach the US from port, but guess what? That means that instead of a survivable, highly dispersed and hidden missile force, the vast majority of your missiles are massed together where a single warhead could take them out.

Russian strategic bombing forces are also pretty small (36 Tu-160's built, maybe half operational, and something like 60 Tu-95MS operational), so most of their nuclear deterrent comes from land based ICBMs. Note, however, that Soviets understood this and so built the SS-25 Topol, and there are about 100 of these road-mobile ICBMs operational today. (Along with ~130 silo launched missiles.)

The Bulletin kinda glosses over the road-mobile survivability. It isn't what America did, so people who are experts in American systems often don't pay sufficient attention to the advantages of such systems, in my experience.

The Southern English call them whortleberries.

What can I say, they're strange folk down there ;)

To be fair blueberries aren't that blue, and bilberries even less so, it's about as self evident as describing white grapes as white. It's even possible the fruit predates the colour. That's the case for Orange which only became a colour in the 16th Century, and was named after the fruit.
This narrative is falling apart lately with the Dutch parliament pushing unanimously to investigate the role of Ukrainian forces in the attack, Bellingcat is apparently just a pro-US propaganda tool.
From what I've read of the official specification, the correct answers are:

1. Plug the HDMI adapter: almost nothing. The HDMI adapter enumerates as an USB 2.0 "billboard device". The operating system can read the descriptor from this device and present a pop-up explaining "you have to plug HDMI adapters directly". This is because, as far as I know, USB hubs can't pass through alternate modes (except for the new USB4 alternate mode, but that is less of "pass through" and more "the hub is a USB4 device itself").

2. Plug the USB-C headphones: it depends on whether they are analog headphones using the "audio accessory" mode, or digital headphones presenting as an USB audio device. If they are digital headphones, it's the "everything just works" case; if they are analog headphones, it's the "nothing" case (unless there's something in the specification I missed where a hub can detect the "audio accessory" and warn the host, in which case you might get the pop-up explaining "analog headphones are not supported by this computer, even if you had plugged them directly").

Things change a bit with USB4. In the particular case where the HDMI dongle is an active DP to HDMI converter (which is probably the most common case, since from what I've seen computer support for the DP alternate mode is more common than the HDMI alternate mode, so most dongles will cater to that case), and the hub is an USB4 hub, it'll work as if it had been connected directly, since USB4 can tunnel Displayport (together with PCI Express and USB 3).
I guess I should of expected down votes. People's disdane for Trump is often visceral instead of logical (similar to people's feelings on Obama).

I searched for trips local to me (Utah), and while it gave me a quick autocomplete, the actual search for trips was glacial.

And the trips themselves were questionable. The itineraries seem unfocused - like it was linking up a list of notable places within a few hundreds miles, but drove right past places that are more interesting, and gave odd time frames - only half a day to explore some very large, crowded, national parks, but 3 entire days to spend in a fairly unremarkable city?

Obviously, I didn't check every trip available, but I didn't see enough accurate insights into my area to trust that any other trips would be worth checking out.

> they are the complete antithesis of the Unix philosophy that so many designers and developers prefer. Word, Excel

Interestingly, Word and Excel were the origins of OLE in Windows 3.x times that was meant to allow embedding documents of one application inside another so that each application can focus on doing one thing well. The original documentation even explicitly wrote something along these lines.

I always thought that OLE was basically Microsoft's attempt to bring Unix's "do one thing well" composability to GUI applications.

(things changed considerably with Windows 95 and COM though and that part about doing one thing well was removed)

In my experience with most Enterprise software, the problem isn't the number of features it's the total lack of discipline in deciding what features are actually needed. Jira is the worst at this because people throw spaghetti at the wall until they get something that "works" for PMs but nobody else understands. I've worked at exactly one place that really was careful about JIRA and what made sense from the tool and it was a joy. I imagine the same is true of Salesforce though I've never seen anyone actually pull it off

Much like everything in aerospace, the NET (No Earlier Than) date is not the most likely date. In fact, it's almost tautologically obvious that you'll usually miss the earliest possible date, no matter what the endeavor. If Quarter 1 2020 was really the most likely time, they would've most appropriately given a NET date of by the end of this year.

It's a little frustrating that there's so little understanding of this, though. I blame lack of education.
I suppose I am arguing that this is far more obvious than 'reasonably avoidable ignorance'.

I suppose I am also arguing that there is a mechanistic requirement of the role 'plant manager', where they shouldn't make changes without understanding the impacts. That's somewhat different than ignorance, because it's pretty much their job to do what it takes to act correctly, avoiding assumption and the like.

Public school scheduling is a hard nut to crack. But I don't recall that it has gotten any worse recently, it's always been somebody suffering a very early schedule.

I'm not sure I understand the down votes. I posed the question in a flippant manner, but I ask the question in earnest.

The grandparent pointed out that the concept of 'being mean' can't easily be applied to animals. The parent asserted without argument (or even definition) that it comes down to 'harm reduction', and went on to pontificate about humans overestimating their exceptionalism. So are the humpback whales harming the orcas by depriving them of a food source? Are the orcas harming the seal by eating him? Are the humpback whales harming the smaller fish who the seal will eat?
Reveal UFOs are real, slowly enough that it goes straight from "kook conspiracy theories" to "meh old news" without ever passing through "mass hysteria".

Decommission the internalized cover up ("If you see a UFO you are a kook and will lose your job"). This gets in the way of receiving useful intelligence reports.

(Partially) decommission the external cover up, at least enough that the public sees UFOs as a known but unexplained phenomenon. And as military business.

Paradoxically, cover up the cover up itself, by acting like all this stuff is new to them and hasn't been under observation since the 1940s.

Obtain funding due to the public not liking UFOs poking into their airspace without permission.

Bring technologies out into the mainstream, commercially or militarily. Looots of funding.

I mean, this is only relevant insofar as that this position allowed her to pursue her interest in what kind of programming she wanted to do. In any private company, the incentives are so perverse that she wouldn't have been able to do any of it, but that wouldn't change her preferences. It's just further indication that, given the right environment, there are people willing to do this kind of thing.

very few companies have the billions of development dollars the above handful of companies have to throw at the problem to try to make it tractable.

95% of "enterprise software" is typically a small developer team of 5-10 people that delivers a product with some features, usually developed in and around J2EE, CORBA, COBOL, etc. It's then sold and supported by a marketing, sales, conference, booth, and sales engineering budget of billions of dollars. Haha!

The other 5% of enterprise software is what you described above. :)
A bit of insight into the complexities of designing enterprise software—I'm a product designer who's been fortunate enough to work on a fast growing product. When I joined our average number of seats was probably about 20. I'd imagine it's now 10x that.

As the post mentions the buyer is not always the end-user and in the enterprise space features are often prioritized for the buyer. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but enterprise product teams should watch out for buyer-focused features that deteriorate the end-user's experience. We spend a lot of time thinking about how to avoid that.

There is also a trade-off between simplicity and flexibility. It is often impossible to do both and larger customers will always want flexibility.

Designing for multi-level hierarchies within organizations is also exceptionally difficult—visibility, access controls, permissions, groups, group hierarchies—these have all been the most difficult features I've ever worked on.

I have immense respect for the product teams at Salesforce, Microsoft, SAP and the other enterprise software companies. The stuff is not easy.
Isn't that simply the feigned retreat?

Across the few Khan and Mongol histories I've read the tactics are there, but often end up with different names. Like the only tactic that springs to mind right now is to spread out a march to stay low profile during movement. They would call that "moving tree formation", or "moving bush", or "waking tree", or some other related variation from similar root. A quick search brought me to [1], which calls it the new-to-me "bush clump tactic". This book calls your feigned retreat "Luring into Ambushes".

Translation seems to bring a lot of variation in these supposed names. So I end up entirely unsure what they really called them. :)

There's no fundamental reason why America's ability to integrate cultures couldn't be replicated in Europe. It's just a cultural choice not to. There's not any excuse for it.

Sometimes I wonder, what if we just fundamentally took a new approach the OS.

Today at the root of your operating system is the file system. It would be interesting if the file system was changed to essentially the concept of a simple object store. In much the same way we have "standard file formats" today, we could move to something like a "standard class". Objects would be a first class citizen in the OS. I think this becomes more interesting too if you start to ignore where the object lives. It doesn't matter if an object you care about is local, or on a server in your enterprises network, or if it's a thousand miles away.

The second big change, is I would do away with "applications". opting instead for a smaller unit of executable. Probably integrated with the object system. The idea here is you don't buy an entire system from a single vendor. You buy features from multiple vendors... and the design of the OS makes it really easy to integrate together. I guess this is kind of the unix philosophy... but maybe taken to the next level.

Thirdly, I think it would make sense if the system was natively "reactive", I think that would help with making aspect-oriented programming more normalized.

> The thing is ... very few companies do actually use all the complex configuration of said purchased software.

That's the point, though. Enterprise software is a superset (E) of all features that a large group of very diverse customers need.

An individual customer has a need for a much smaller set of features (C). That enterprise software may very well be the best software that includes all those needed features:

C ⊆ E

There are niche providers, so a logical customer would select the software that meets all of their needs and as little else as possible. But there may not be a niche provider that meets that criteria. So as an individual customer, you may be stuck between an Enterprise software that meets all your needs, but is "more than you need" and a niche software that doesn't meet all your needs.
This is missing the point. End users are clueless about what they need in a software solution. Take a sales pipeline, it's made of sales opportunities. Easy, right? Try to get 50 sales managers across various countries to agree on what a sales pipeline should be and do. I am sure Blackboard has the same issue. Enter consultants. They are not completely useless, they try to get those 50 managers above to agree on 1 idea and process. But depending on how much credibility and trust said consultants have accumulated with the company there is only x% of crap requirements they can say NO to. The x% of crap requirements they have to say YES to from those 50 people for lack of contractual power, credibility and trust is directly correlated to how much the final software solution will suck. And I am assuming the consultants here are good, assume an x multiplier for incompetence.

My point is: there is not enough focus on the business process and people aspect of things. A software solution is packaged consulting and best practices, nothing else. So if nobody is looking at the process and is able to dictate that 1 and 1 only process good luck building something that doesn't suck.
Hold on a minute! This seems to contradict the often-repeated assertion here on HN that shipping doesn't contribute to air pollution.
