Roughly speaking, $1m is enough to feed, and arm a force of a 1000 with small arms only for 1 to 2 months, with men under arms being responsible for their own livelihood beyond basics.

That's a very small amount of time. And without a training, and heavy arms, none will be a good match even against Belarusian standing army.

The challenge is to use up money in the shortest, and most impactful way possible. The longer men stay in the field doing nothing, the more money is burned on canned food, and toilet paper rather than diminishing enemy fighting power.

Yes, individuals can arm a significant amount of volunteers, and even keep inflicting the damage for a few weeks. A battalion of complete war rookies can do things if it strikes first, attacks softer targets other than standing military, and focus on high cost/opportunity operations like enemy's command chain, and political leadership.

But in the larger scheme of things, even $1m is a pocket change on the scale of nation states, and completely pales to what a military of even smallest European states can do both force, and material wise.

Yes, get your politicians involved, get your state involved. Even a third grade caucus can easily dish out 8 digit sums in US without even blinking.
> both are in their late 60s.

Joe Biden (78) just replaced Donald Trump (74). Prince Phillip died at the age of 99. Putin has a long way to go on natural lifespan.
Ok, quoting section 5c:

c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.

This only says that the product of such a combination must be licensed as AGPL. The MIT/BSD licenses (with or without the attribution clause) specifically allow being included in larger works under any license, even proprietary, so what are you arguing exactly?
Even the recursion claim is now quite vague - according to Chomsky, while revision is a fundamental feature, not all languages exhibit recursion.

I also realize that I don’t even know what it means for a human language to be recursive. I get sub-clauses but I don’t see their existence as evidence of recursion being a fundamental feature of human language. In English for example, I doubt there are non-contrived examples of sentences which have more than 2 levels of sub-clauses. The concepts are certainly independent with computer languages - originally Algol had procedures (analogous to sub-clauses) without supporting recursion.
Yes. Naming is the worst. Oh, I have dotnet how do I make a webpage. Nah, you need also asp dot net. Or asp core .net, but this wont run on .net anymore but only on core .net..... headache...
As someone who has mostly had android phones (but not now), I watched the wireless charging thing unfold in a hilarious way.

A bunch of android phones had wireless charging years ago, including one of the nexus devices IIRC. Great! I'll buy a couple of wireless charging pucks and use them. No more flakey USB ports that give up before the phone does.

Apple didn't pick it up.

Android phones all dropped the feature.

Apple picked it up, hyped it, rolled it out.

Android phones started appearing with it again.

It's like Apple has to lead the way, and even useful features can't survive in the android ecosystem without Apple's blessing.
It's not called .NET Core any longer. Another naming switcheroo that people have to get familiar with.
DOOM still used fixed point arithmetic at the time for speed, so it could be a large set but not as big as floats. You could also drop a few bits of precision off the LSB and make your search space that much smaller.
All these graphs are never really actionable and are only of interest for a short period of time and you won't be looking at it after a while because they don't mean anything unless you know where and when the problem is.

A sever admin wants "Incident" panel that only shows anomaly components at the top coupled with adjustable alerting mechanism and not just a dump of all the data there is blindly.

There are so many tools that does this and pretend it's impressive including ELK but whether it's Grafana or Kibana, you need a lot of manual tweaking to make the dashboards actually useful.
> New York is a port. Ports become cities, because access to the rest of the area is kind of needed to access the rest of the area. Ports are valuable.

Sorry, I'm completely lost as to your point here. My point is simply that land is valuable because it is scarce, and its value is the difference in productivity between the given land and the best free land. From that, it follows that if land values are high, there's a massive difference in productivity between high value land and the best free land.

> Other than that, I don't really care. I'm not a real estate investor.

It's great that you don't but your view isn't the majority view. Homeownership is considered as a way to build wealth for the middle class, and this view is pervasive. This is pretty much said all the time, everywhere ("homeownership wealth", "intergenerational wealth", "buying a home is a good investment" etc.), by both politicians and the finance industry, so I'm surprised you don't think this is the case.

I'll give a concrete example though. A member of Parliament responsible for housing policy (Adam Vaughan) was asked if a 10% drop in house prices (after a year of ~30% rises) would be acceptable, and his answer was no, because "We know that Canadians rely on home ownership to secure their place in the economy now, but also as they retire". I doubt his view his uncommon either. He's simply stating what homeowners (who are the majority) think.
Nah, that's pretty sane compared to pointers as NFTs: https://github.com/zhuowei/nft_ptr
That’s the deal about those things - the company has all the power in this situation.

Usually if the company finds out you’re doing something they really don’t want to be involved in they do one of the following:

- Officially distance themselves from your project (some people actually abuse this to get free reign over a side project by weaving in pornography, gambling, etc.)

- Tell you to cease and desist immediately or face repercussions.

- Deem you a legal risk and fire you on the spot for code of conduct breach or just simply lay you off. (yes, severance is pennies compared to legal risk for some companies)
Is it any good? ;)
> Why should the interchange of information have to change in style as often as the clothing of fashion aficionados?

Because of Material Design, Rust or because of the management.
Using the brain is hard so they choose the path of least resistance.

> Old styles have the benefit of being done in a time where you just couldn’t do as much so the purpose of exchanging information got more focus.

Yes, but, but, but now we have RAM and disk space and processor power. Why not use it ?

> Fashion is something to be aware of and wary of... looking like it was designed recently is a good way to attract people, but it’s also a good way to attract people only interested in surface appeal instead of substance.

The problem is that _only_ attracts people only interested in surface appeal instead of substance.
If you enjoyed this article, you might enjoy the fascinating course "Language families of the world" by the excellent John McWhorter. He elaborates on many of the aspects mentioned in the article. (It's quite expensive though, unless you resort to a pirated version.)

Why the silent downvotes. If users do not directly use PG it's not an issue.
Agreed. They can do it nicely, too, by extending the "Handoff" concept to further replicate application state between macOS and iPad OS apps.

It would probably be an opt-in thing for apps, but even without any fancy state replication it'd be just fine.
I think putting the blame on people for weddings, religious ceremonies (aka normal everyday life which is going to happen, even during the Afghanistan War people had wedding celebrations despite the danger) is misguided.

Governments are getting rightful blame. I think the media also don't help. How many stupid news outlets were saying that Indian people have some kind of genetic immunity to COVID with absolutely no evidence of any such thing? That affects people more than one wedding.

That's a bold claim. It was a communist dictatorship first - not sure if there is a reasonable way to compare GDP of a communist country with a normal country. Then there was an endless civil war - that's hardly good for economy too.

Today these are quite comparable to other Eastern European countries. Croatia has a larger GDP per capita than Romania, Montenegro is somewhere in Turkey's league, Serbia is pretty poor, but still much better than Belarus and Ukraine.

"By contrast, most (not all, but most) deaths from COVID are the elderly."

In the developed world. Are you sure that this is true in Africa?

Because if someone already has HIV or TBC, I can imagine Covid giving him the final push, even though the patient is only 35.
It is putting people into a very precarious financial situation. I know more that a few people who have to borrow a lot of money when their loved ones ended up in hospital and the long term effects are unknown with people being put in the ICU with a 70% loss in lung function. And then being discharged either because they can no longer afford to pay or because they test negative for Covid but still have a host of heath issues.
The fact that the official numbers are through the roof tell you how bad the unofficial (and real) numbers are.

In the past week, there have been reports from several cities where the number of Covid deaths are measured in single digits - yet crematoriums are so full that people have started cremating their dead ones on sidewalks.
Epam has far few workers left in Belarus now. This past summer they temporarily expatriated a significant percentage of the company.

I manage about 40 engineers from EPAM. Before the troubles, 5 were in ukraine and one in Russia (but he was supposed to move to Minsk).

Now most of my team is working from Ukraine or Russia. A few choose to take on-site gigs in Netherlands and were replaced with more Belarussians in Ukraine. One of our team disappeared entirely, presumed to be in prison but our TAMs are downright cagey if we ever asked what happened to him.

EPAM is a good company, they saw the writing on the wall and hustles to get their people to safety.
Not while their nukes still work. We had all this discussion in the 1960s, and the underlying reality of that potential war has not changed. The "border area" has got a lot more chaotic - Vienna is definitely the West, and Minsk definitely not, but it's less clear how aligned everywhere in the middle is. But an actual war would obliterate both sides.
Google has been caught doing a lot of seriously anticompetitive things, like colluding with Facebook to establish a duopoly, in exchange for things like scanning WhatsApp chat backups uploaded to Google Drive. Or adding an artificial 2 second wait to non-AMP ads.

> We did four releases a year, across the entire organization (so mainframe and more modern platforms), on Saturday nights/early Sunday mornings. There was plenty of testing but there was still plenty of errors only found on the day of, and rushed to fix in the wee hours or daylight hours of Sunday morning.

This way, you had bugs in prod for less than a day once every quarter, as opposed to having buggy prod all the time, as is common in organizations doing Continuous Deployment.
Do you tell your company that and do you have to "appear online" (e.g., active on teams) throughout the day?
To be honest - I don't know. I was thinking - can FSB, as a result, inject some back-doors to NginX? I don't audit every line of code of software I use, and I don't know if situation like this would be easily spotted...

The irony of the daily mail talking about manipulation
Yet many of these self-booting disks would quite happily work when copied to a reboot-persistent RAM drive (the RAD: drive), which showed that although it was claimed that they did all the OS-ey things themselves, actually there was still quite a lot of the original OS still running there.

At the core of it, the AmigaOS exec was tiny and helpful, and things like device drivers were just separate processes that you sent messages to, so it would make sense to make use of them, but just not bother loading all the other stuff that makes up an OS.
What are you talking about ? A random sample with positivity rate of 20percent would indicate one in 5 has covid. Why are you posting such conspiratorial comments with a throwaway account ?
I don't think it ever claimed to be anti-theft. It is more focused on "finding something you misplaced" than being a security tracking device.
> if it’s small enough for a url parameter

Somewhat related: the PlayStation port of DOOM only allowed saving at the end of a level. It used alphanumeric sequences for its saves. You'd write down the sequence and manually re-enter it on your next session, avoiding the need for a memory card.

Presumably it only needed to store <level ID, difficulty, weapons, ammo levels, health, armour, checksum>.
I've been married for over 10 years so my advice might no longer be relevant, but I think the right approach is to ask people out indirectly to avoid any potential harassment. In other words, rather than asking out somebody, you approach a friend first, and either ask them to ask for you, or ask them if it is ok to ask.

I've always assumed this was the case, but has this been proven?
its not really discussing the safety of mRNA
Actually, we give a lot of thought in defining sane default alarms for most of the data sources that we have.

We want our users to get 80% of the value with 20% of the effort.

It's an opinionated approach that liberates a lot of users from having to setup and maintain everything.
So the only convenient way to have security is to use the cloud version? Got it.
I don't think manual skipping is bad. If you take the time to manually skip you probably weren't going to buy the product anyways. It's automatic skipping that I have an issue with. It doesn't give the creator even a chance to pitch the product and their affiliate code (which makes them money)

This can be true for a small program on a microcontroller, but 99.9% of FOSS is deployed as part of a big ecosystem.

Yea, the big issue with licensing Linux as AGPL would probably be that Linus explicitly doesn't like GPL3's ant-Tivoization stuff. Requiring SaaS providers to distribute their kernel patches is, I believe, completely in line with the goals of Linus's choice of license.

Spotify sure is trying to turn podcasts into a subscription service. They buy as many as possible and add them to their subscription model is their plan. They at least get ad revenue if people don't move off their app.

Luckily the landscape of podcasts will not allow them to do that. There are way too many podcasts that are popular and make money. So buying all of them will be impossible. In a way they are similar to the open source landscape. Sure, there exist Apache, mysql etc but the ones that are not popular are equally important for the medium.
There are built in protections for this exact situation. It seems that if an airtag is away from its owner and appears to be “following” someone else, then that person will be alerted about the tag that appears to be following them. This requires the followed person to have an iOS device, but it will beep to alert someone audibly as well.
That is not entirely true. If your threshold is low then it appears and you get accessibility issue. Not to mention tracking hell of out the users.

> It doesn't

Proof needed. I can in fact think of counter examples:

Say there is a DAO that gives more voting power if you own more ETH. In that situation, it might make sense to borrow 900 in ETH with 1000 ETH collateral. Then you make your vote on the DAO with a power of 1900. And pay back 910 in ETH to the lender. The vote on the DAO might trigger an action that is worth more than the 10 ETH you paid in interest. For example if you run a company and the vote on the DAO was to buy a service from your company.

I've never been part of web development, so I've only seen one half of the equation.

AAA game development includes dedicated teams of QA testers playing through the game each day, flagging all bugs they come across and verifying every bug which is claimed to be fixed. That's the best source of stability in my experience.

At the biggest studio I've been part of (three offices, with about a hundred people in the main one) we also had a number of automated tests (AI running through certain missions and doing events together) where failures would alert those with contributing commits.

Now there is an Indian variant of the virus which apparently and the infection rates and deaths are up.

Workarounds like proxying by nginx is not a workaround, it's the industry standard way of managing access to services. It's both more convenient and more secure, a rare combination.

More convenient because you can use your companies pre-existing authentication to authenticate the requests, and more secure because you're not having to manage separate passwords and user accounts.
