Yes. Very much so. In the beginning of my first deployment, the provisional government of Iraq rejected the BSA, so we pulled out and I redeployed to Afghanistan. During my second deployment, the Karzai government significantly reduced the BSA, and all regular forces pulled out around me. Both times, one of the biggest issues was dollars coming into the economy through US contracts and on-base merchants. This is good for them at first, but it turns the country into an import economy, and kills internal business. You can see this effect visually in the buildup of trash from imports replacing sustainable practices. 1000-year-old family farms gone fallow and covered in trash mixed with human waste. We tried to fix this with teams of Americans going around teaching Afghans how to do all the things they used to do before the onset of foreign aid.

>Variables can be varied... you can increment, decrement, do whatever you want with them. They keep track of things.

You can do the same to a pointer in languages that have them, either directly (e.g. in C) or through some "unsafe" construct (e.g. in Rust, C#, Go).

>I don't see why anyone wouldn't copy values by default... it is the only sane way to do things.

When resources are ample, yes. Not the case historically, or in many use cases today.

And not all values make sense to copy.

But also in Rust, we're talking in the context of C performance needs, memory models, and concepts, and Rust expands and makes those safe.

For giggles, I tried searching for "RTX 3070" on Amazon.it.

- Category "Musical instruments" is listed. Guess what, it has no entries.
- Listed Graphics card makes include just about all ATI, Intel and Nvidia product lines.
- Out of 166 "graphics cards" (there are a number of complete PCs, accessories and junk in the full results), "Nvidia GeForce RTX Series" results include 7 entries, all unavailable or without a listed price. Six of them are RTX 2070 cards.

If you can hack something together easily that can earn a lot of money, others can too. So that value will drop. Once upon a time you could slap together websites with html and make six figures. Now you'd probably be lucky to make 5. Same with phone apps.

Also from the perspective of the same person over their career, engineering skills definitely hold their value better than software skills.
Good point in the addendum - these could also influence all those AI-takeover theories/stories as they very often are basically about AI self preservation instincts which it might not even have.

I can't reply to all of this but I will say - I paid to go see the Avengers finale movies - despite seeing none of the preceding films - purely because I felt a kind of social obligation.

The movies were just ludicrous but I don't regret it. snap

Basically, it's a serious time and money investment.

> when you have many teams contributing to the software not only through actual code editing but also feature flagging what features go out on what release, rollback policies etc this becomes a nightmare to fill in.

This is a terrifying sentence to me, because what it implies but doesn't say outright, is that there's not a single person in the organization who actually fully knows what is being released. If there were, then they should already have this information!

Honestly, if you don't have a release manager with a 30,000 foot view of the operation, you probably have bigger organizational problems than "it's hard to know what to fill in on the app store's release notes".

This is how retrospectives on supply chain attacks start, basically.

> I fail to see the value of this, China is not Sweden, I am not sure why you hold them to the same standards, that seems strange to me

Did a CCP shill/wumao just admit that the CCP should not be held to the same standards as other members of the International Community and is perplexed that even during a pandemic the refusal to disclose this information is
'strange' when trying to contain the pandemic that has ravaged the World and that ultimately the biggest source of confusion is from outsiders trying to grasp why that is?

If so, you just summed up why the CCP has been successful at indoctrinating a billion people and subjugating them with such ease; when this type of brainwashing being this effective one has to realize we are fighting a losing battle by engaging in discourse as some may never be able to question their reality even as countless deaths occur World wide due to the corruption, coverups and deadly negligence and belligerence from the CCP.

The truth is I think you may be doing this as a source of income and you really don't believe what you wrote, at least I really hope so, which makes me even sadder than if you did believe it as it shows just toxic so many people's existence is when it relies on the acceptance and dependence of totalitarian regimes is.

Yeah, it is nice to know what the actual changes are, rather than a vague 'fixes were made' statement. Nintendo's update logs for games have to be some of the most hilariously vague in that regard, with many of the updates being just:

> Several issues have been fixed to improve gameplay experience.

But at the same time I guess I can see why companies and project creators don't go into more detail. Maybe the actual bugs fixed were so weirdly technical that most users wouldn't understand them at all, or care (if the user hovers over this button for 1/300th for a second, there's a 0.0001% chance their next message might not save properly). Maybe they (perhaps sadly) don't remember what exact things they fixed, since they fixed so many bugs.

Either way some more detail would be nice for those that do care about this stuff.

It genuinly upsets me to see this kind of rubbish. I have otherwise happy and healthy people in my life, who I love ,who have been taken in by these conspiracy theories. I have seen them fall deeper and deeper into a pit of anxiety and mistrust of everything arround them. I have never felt more helpless. All you can do to argue aginst it is appeal to the very authority they are being convinced is evil...

If you want a small virtual taste of what it's like taking trucks like the Kamaz 4310 through mud, swamps and flooded areas, the game Mudrunner is on Steam and features plenty of sticky off-roading and old Soviet iron.

Ostensibly the game is just about driving logs from one place to another, but it's the journey itself that makes the game. The mud physics are quite good,m and you'll certainly end up needing both all-wheel drive, diff locks and a healthy amount of winching to get around. The physics model isn't perfect for on-road driving and the diff locks are not super realistic on hard surfaces, but it's certainly the best off road simulation I've tried.

Taking an old truck on road tires slowly through mud and fording a river with water up to the windshield, while towing a garage trailer to unlock a remote service station is an odd kind of excitement, completely different from the high speed shenanigans in most driving games.

A controller is an absolute must, you have to be surprisingly delicate when feathering the throttle to navigate sticky mud. Full throttle just spins the tires and gets you hopelessly stuck.

> Most arithmetic needs to start with the less significant bits, so it's better to have them be accessible first. (E.G. most bignum representations also use little-endian, even though they don't have to.)

Some operations start at the least significant end, some start at the most significant end, and it's equally easy to loop over the words in either direction, so i don't buy this.

> Little endian also allows you to truncate integers more easily.

What do you mean by truncate an integer? If you mean go from 32 bit to 16 bit, that's still trivial with big-endian, you just shift.

Ask HN: How do you manage and budget your monthly income
My resolution for this year is to better manage my money in order to start saving for a house.

I have only one income source and that being the monthly salary (100 units).

My plan is to divide the salary into smaller budgets in order to save or invest.

For example:
- pay out the existing debt (around 350 units)
- put money aside in 3-6m deposits (around 1.8-3.2%/year), not much, but they might cover for the inflation
- buy government bonds (currently 3.5-4.5%/y)
- invest in short-medium term p2p loans (eg. mintos, peerberry, 8-12%/y)
- put a small amount of money aside, just to have some cash

My problem: how do I start this? How to decide how many units to invest/save where?

Thank.

Problems in the complexity class BQP are mathematically proven to be more efficient on a quantum computer than on a classical computer.

You can still doubt that quantum computers are physically realizable. Perhaps the number of qubits needed for error correction will turn out to increase fundamentally faster than the number of useful qubits, or perhaps there is some other fundamental limit that we will hit.

But the maths is clear: if it is at all possible to create a quantum computer, it will be faster for certain specific problems than a classical computer (in particular, it will be faster than a classical computer at simulating quantum phenomena).

yeah I'm not unreasonable about the pandemic situation, and of course it's feasible it occurred through no fault of their own in the first place, however it is clear that they were WELL aware after SARS1 that wet markets/traditional Chinese medicine/etc. were major pandemic vectors and re-opened e.g. wet markets very quickly after both SARS and SARS2-CoV. This is actually insane (as in mentally unwell) levels of arrogance and negligence.

Secondly they covered up the outbreak. Had it been reported a few weeks earlier apparently up to 95% of deaths could have been prevented. That is really insane.

The lab side of it is interesting and it seems just so much of a coincidence that the lab was right next to the oubreak, of all the places in all of the huge country of China.

I don't doubt they were motivated to study bat coronaviruses, of course they were and there was in fact very big competition with the US.

The problem is China is such a corrupt country where health + safety + following protocols is something of a joke, as with most communist/totalitarian systems people always try to get away with as much as they can that I have zero trust in their BS4 lab being properly constructed and procedures followed correctly.

They also covered up the discovery of a very similar virus some years ago (they actively anonymised records around it after covid19 emerged) in a bat cave (no pun intended) which already appeared to have bat-human transmission.

It is something like 96% similar to covid19 though some scientists say it isn't feasible that it evolved into covid19 except in nature. However I wonder whether some form of natural evolution of the virus was experimented on or encouraged in the lab or whether this assumption is in fact correct.

So the lab thing is definitely up for debate, however the general attitude from much of the media and certainly China is to dismiss it as a crackpot theory. Absolutely don't think it is.

Also I personally do not believe at all that any of this was intentional. I think it's a mixture of negligence, cover-up and face saving.

Keeping in mind the next virus might not be a 0.4% case fatality rate that mostly kills the very old, it's deeply frightening.
Poetry still has to deal with Python's flat dependency structure which means it needs a complicated dependency resolver. This isn't a bad thing though, imo. There are pros and cons.
It's also about performance. The snippet assumes the byte order of the buffer or byte stream is little endian so only covers two of four cases. If you want to read a little-endian byte stream on a big-endian machine, of course you need swapping. But, considering portability, if that byte stream had been written by the big-endian machine before (or came directly from network) it would be in big-endian ordering and swapping would be wrong.

Assuming LE ordering on the writer side, you would need to swap again on a BE machine. Usually, however, you want to store in your target byte order, though. One could argue this is irrelevant as long as the memory doesn't leave your application, of course. Yet, by explicitly having macros _to_cpu, _to_be, _to_le and so on you make all of this explicit.
What is the estimated cost for the regulatory compliance? Considered that the burden will fall on small business, have you considered the impact on global competitiveness? Is that impact worth the benefits of this legislation?

All barriers are about favouring internal producers over external producers. That's sort of the point of them. And it's been like this for the rest of the world for a very long time. All we've done is added the EU countries to the pile - levelling the playing field and sorting out anomalies on the way.

But, importantly, processing these things is somebody's job - which increases economic activity and GDP. So it's not as straightforward as it sounds - particularly when there is a systemic shortage of jobs, and there is a floating exchange rate which balances the effect in any case.

> Either fix everything at once, or don't. There's zero point in making small incremental changes that do not benefit everyone

Have you ever had any look at how laws actually get passed in the US and pretty much any country with some sort of democratically legitimized government?

Your demand in any of these systems would simply lead to no laws getting passed at all, most of the time, total legislative gridlock. Legislature is an incremental process by nature, and especially so in systems of government where the interests of more than one side are represented, so compromises have to be made at every step of the way.

I've used pulumi for work in a relatively large scale set of deployments, and have been using it since an early beta - but for Azure.

There are significant issues with it - terrible stability and reliability between version upgrades, its constant desire to tear down entire sets of resources and regenerate them when no change has occurred etc.

I assume these issues stem from the fact that pulumi's azure providers are generated directly from the terraform providers and practically nobody ever uses those.

The only reason I'm mentioning it is that I only ever see pulumi described in glowing reports of success whereas for us it's beginning to seem like a mistake ever using it in the first place.
