If you had a sufficiently powerful military to back up your opinion on the ownership of Moscow, then that would indeed be how it works. International law does not have courts with the same amount of power as "normal" law. If countries are at odds the options are basically a sternly worded letter, economic sanctions or military action. And, of course, the target of such action can strike back in much the same ways.

Understandably, not many countries are willing to enter hostilities with Russia.
How does anyone do analytics or tracking across web, mobile, and apps? It seems almost impossible to reliably attribute anything across platforms, leaving avg sign ups etc taken from the backend as the only concrete metric?

People who advocate for alternatives to GA I suspect miss this very crucial aspect of the service. When you have a long running site, especially one that has user accounts or conducts ecommerce, it can be dominated by automated traffic. The longer the site has existed and the more popular it is, the more this is the case.

I'm not even referring to legitimate search engine crawlers but the automated exploit bots, the spam bots, the people running site suckers, and who even knows how many other things people get up to for malicious purposes.

Any GA alternatives that rely on server logs is instantly never going to be a viable alternative. Alternatives that don't rely on logs still cannot do a sufficient job of weeding out the automated traffic. I have never, not even once, heard of a solution that can tackle this overwhelmingly critical problem.
Well, it kinda always does (no matter who's right), if you don't want missiles to start flying.

this is what 99% of people with a home computer did until windows XP (and even then most people today run under an admin account of some sorts on their computers)

isolation between users is only relevant for clusters, it's a super minority usecase versus what is the main thing that matters, home computers which only have one human user anyways.

This is how I feel about many things that are illegal as well. We can sell our physical and mental health to our employers till the day we die, yet there are people imprisoned because of sex/drug crimes? Absolute insanity if you step back and look at it.

Even worse is that in a country like the US, they practically have their own version of slavery with how inmates are effectively forced into labour for insignificant wages, which then benefit private corporations.

This is definitely an aspect of humanity that will be looked upon very poorly in the future.

The funnel for junior software engineers is big but the tip of the funnel is narrow. Most of those who zip through it either went to a name-brand school or got hands-on experience with internships first. Everyone else is just trying to get lucky. On the cscareers subreddit there are a ton of people who either went through bootcamps or taught themselves how to code who have been searching for a role for a year - in the mean time doing personal projects, or trying to pick up some contract work - but no takers for full time salaried work.

The true "shortage" is really for developers with 3+ years experience who can "hit the ground running". Most companies will only make limited commitment to junior engineers, favoring mid and senior level developers.
Do Chance Meetings at the Office Boost Innovation? There’s No Evidence of It
The person writing this article goes in hard but comes down a bit. Sure all work of genius is based on prior work but that does not take away that a lot of impressive work (Einstein, a lot of math, etc) was done alone in a room. Sure after a lot of reading but not with a lot of blah blah with collaborators at the time of the 'new'(evolutionary) invention. Seems like a bit of an angry article from someone with a grudge toward something to do with solitary inventors?

The title here is a bit misleading: the first few paragraphs of this are a really enlightened description of the challenges of engineering for a startup regardless of what framework you are using.

Even if you have no interest in Django at all I recommend reading the start of this.

> I wrote this guide to explain how to write software in a way that maximizes the number of chances your startup has to succeed — by making it easy to maintain development velocity regardless of the inevitable-but-unknowable future changes to team size, developer competence and experience, product functionality, etc. The idea is that, given the inherent uncertainty, startups can massively increase their odds of success by putting some basic systems in place to help maximize the number of ideas, features, and hypotheses they can test; in other words, maximizing "lead bullets," to borrow the phrase from this blog post by Ben Horowitz.

> In the project that I am working in the business people and devs all contribute a lot of hard work and many hours to the success - why are the devs paid so much more?

Because you clearly are struggling to hire developers at the prices you want to pay and you are not struggling to hire "business people" at the prices you want to pay.

In either event you are paying developers shit. When an average junior developer starts getting paid what an average finance banker gets paid post school and in 10 years an average developer rising at the average rate in an org gets paid what an average person in finance who is rising at an average rate in finance org, then maybe there would be something to write about.
The post did not say "don't do code review", it said "do not require code reviews". This is different. However, I do think its nitpicking, because if a code review really doesn't matter, then the approval will come quickly and easily because of how easy it was to review and how little it matters: developers would not spend effort reviewing something that doesn't matter. Or is that a bad assumption I'm making which the post does not.
As a lot of these replies mention - it's using interlacing to print frames using PNG.

Something I think is interesting here also, the server is holding each frame for two seconds before it sends that chunk to the browser, so the animation would look similar regardless of connection speed (2 seconds per frame + your browser's actually latency to the server)

How high would the rate have to be? Sure, if 99% of prostitution is forced prostitution I might be willing to say make it illegal but even then I am not really feeling good about it, I am still interfering with the free choice of the remaining 1%. But one might argue that life will never be totally fair and the 99% are so much better off that we can justify the collateral damage we do to the 1%. But I can not really say how high or low the fraction would have to be, are 10% to much, are 50% acceptable?

> As you haven't made it very clear at all, what is your point?

I think the issue we're having here is that you're focusing on a very narrow part of my argument which I'm saying isn't actually that important. The majority of my argument hasn't actually been addressed. I've historically learned not to argue with those that greatly narrow your argument (as opposed to focusing on one part).
In my class (2016), there were still lots of people who felt silly about the web, which is where most of the work actually is. I would guess about half of my graduating computer science classmates went on to not work in the industry, because they had their hearts set on jobs that just weren't really available to them (they wanted to work at Blizzard and wouldn't consider anything web or web-adjacent). Perhaps they've reconsidered at this point, but if this pattern held anywhere else then this trend makes perfect sense to me.

I use Z for plurals exclusively; that's one common system. You might be interested in my post: https://blog.waleedkhan.name/my-steno-system/#orthography

For homophones, I use a different vowel (OEU = oi, the least used vowel sound; AE is an extra vowel sound not representing anything). For proper vs common names, i often duplicate the stroke (e.g. MAT = "mat", MAT/MAT = "Matt").
Maybe, but I went to one of the worst funded schools in my state (MN at the time) and got a great education. We were a rural area with only a small tax base, but everyone cared that we got a good education and so the money was carefully spent to give us a good education with the limited money. In fact as a kid I commented that it didn't seem like we had poor funding as we had a lot of activities and great education. Then it was explained that the historical mining areas of the state had a much better tax base, as did the inner city schools (they got the taxes from expensive downtown properties), and even suburban districts had industrial areas to tax.
I found out it actually allows me to play on the same account on two separate devices. The official apple music apps reliably stop my attempts to abuse my one person membership. Maybe this means that authorised applications aren't checked as thoroughly for this.

Opinions lead to hypothesis which lead to theories which lead to laws.

Really, the arguments around the "lone genius" are identical to those of the "Great man theory" of history [1].

The debate has been going on for nearly two centuries.

Suffice it to say that nobody has had the final word.

At this point I think it's best to simply acknowledge that there's truth to both sides, and that therefore the debate is ultimately artificial -- it's entirely due to the perspective you take on "weighting" the two sides.

It's mainly a useful tool for teaching, where "great man" or "lone genius" is the thesis, "ideas in the air" or "standing on the shoulder of giants" is the antithesis, and the synthesis is... both are necessary to fully explain history/achievements.

There are two major challenges with building a robust analytics solution for the privacy era: architecture and privacy operations.

In terms of architecture, things that are cross-site (i.e., a script that sends a data to a service that is not yours) are getting blocked by ad blockers and browsers like Brave. This is because, even with the best of publicly stated intentions, there is no way to know what the third-party will do with the data.

Privacy operations itself is exceptionally challenging, because you need to manage consent and purpose, provide auditability, support DSAR, etc. -- unless you operate at the strict minimum (typically what falls within “legitimate interest” under the GDPR).

My company, Blotout (YC W21), approaches this with a cloud native privacy data engineering platform that lets you ingest event and ETL data into to your own lake, and provides a complete privacy operations suite. Since it’s same-site, you’re not blocked as a tracker. And because it pulls and unifies all of your data in your own infra, it’s vastly more efficient than a third-party stack and it lets you do things with you data that you can’t when it’s spread across providers.

Of course, for your personal blog this might be overkill. :)

I'm not an expert but I seem recall that other people were working concurrently on related, maybe tangential, questions for most of the other "great ideas" mentioned in the article

Didn't Einstein strike such a hit precisely because his (new) approach solved sought after problems? The people who helped define the problem have a large chunk of merit, in my opinion. There's no need for a theory in a vacuum.
An off-topic question:

Can someone elaborate the benefits/goals of using the feminine pronoun here?

If "he" isn't (for some reason) acceptable as a gender-neutral pronoun, wouldn't "they" be a better fit?

I fail to see how gender flipping is a step towards reduction of sexism if that's the goal.

Yes? That's what labor organizing is supposed to be. Fighting dirty with monopsony power that should never have arisen in the first place, because that's the only option.
> The political left generally favors legalization of recreational drugs

That's...not true. The left spans the entire spectrum from left-libertarian “legalize everything” to hardcore “recreational drugs are a tool of capitalist institutions to dull the minds of the proletariat” prohibitionists. Most of them oppose the War on Drugs as practiced in, say, the US, but the former does so because of the restriction on drugs while the latter does so because the War o Drugs is seen as an excuse for criminalization of and fostering divisions with the proletariat, serving as part of the same capitalist control regime as drugs themselves.
CRT is a new [political] spin on an old evolved trait in all human beings(and in some non-human life forms). That trait is "pack mentality"; the idea that a single organism has a higher survival rate when in a pack. Example: lone wolf VS pack wolf - the lone wolf has a higher mortality rate. Expulsion of a pack wolf from the pack invariably leads to a shorter lifespan for the expelled wolf. This works in humans also... eg, a tribe of humans can hunt larger mammals, which results in more food security for the tribe. A single human cannot do this, and has no safety net when they are physically unable to hunt/gather.

Whether CRT is right/wrong is another issue altogether...but it's just another lens on a very old behavior trait of species that have survived over long periods of time.
I've always thought that the "Myth of the Lone Genius" is a bit of a "motte-bailey" format argument, where an aggressive, undefendable stance is advertised, and then when challenged the person who is making the argument retreats back into a more believable stance. The bailey, in this case, is "no one person is truly responsible for progress or breakthroughs, and everyone's contribution matters", which is ridiculous, and the motte is "no man is an island, and all breakthroughs rely on the actions of others", which is obviously true.

I believe people that make the bailey form of the above argument want to believe that they're important, and want their contributions to be measured on the same scale that great people's accomplishments are measured on. If there's no such thing as the Lone Genius, then your lazy dissertation on a topic no one really cares about matters in the same way that the Bryce-Codd paper on data normalization matters, because "everyone's work is important".

> These graduates enter either a managerial track, such as Project and Program Manager or Staff Software Engineer, or they enter a technical track, such as Senior Software Engineer and Software Development Engineer II and above.

At least at my company, Principal Software Engineer is considered a technical/individual track role, and my assumption was that Principal/Staff Software Engineer at most companies were. Is that not the case?
The shortage is artificial. Companies do not want inexperienced developers, and they are unwilling to invest in the education and experience of developers. They want someone that already has all the credentials they want, on paper. Regardless of if they're actually good or not. That's a natural result of favoring short term goals over long term investment and the ever increasing corprotization of development jobs. If anyone but your actual dev leads are creating and hiring for dev jobs - you're apart of the problem.

Propaganda like "job shortages" are a nice way of saying "we need to import more workers", whilst rejecting hundreds of domestic applicants.
>I couldn't image what improvements could be made over it

Still has the telltale of mismatched ears and/or earrings. This seems the most reliable way to recognize them. Well, and the nondescript background.
Not sure of your personal experience with this but mine was that the era before code reviews was mostly enabled by having often large teams of QA / SDETs who were burdened with finding the output of bad code and throwing bugs back at the eng team (see: the famous account of winword engineers pushing known bugs into the code to increase perceived velocity with the expectation to get a QA report back to fix them).

That era also required more documentation effort since knowledge wasn't shared at the time the code was written and best practices weren't as well enforced around making sure code is readable since there was never a "test" of someone else looking at it.

Kind of feels like these folks are trying to distribute that QA role across the company (everyone dogfoods the latest versions). I imagine this would work well so long as the team is reasonably small and the product is simple enough that everyone uses every feature of the app often enough to find small bugs and corner cases, but I still wonder if at some point enough issues will arise in prod that could have easily been caught earlier such that someone will eventually say "maybe we should just look at each other's code and catch this stuff before it's committed?"

Would love to see a followup from these folks in another year or two.
Sorry :p It’s ironic because I had a friend once—well we shared kitchen and bathroom in the student housing, flatmates of sorts—that used to refer to Google Maps as “Google Map” and I never corrected her because I just found that adorable for whatever reason. Lol.

You are making sweeping statements that sound unreal to me.

I am in New Zealand where sex work is legal, and I know quite a few professional sex workers (disclaimer: not as a client but just random people that are somewhat open about it), and it is nothing like you have described.

Without doubt the work has its risks, just different risks from other jobs (for example bar work is dangerous and minimum pay). However sex work pays extremely well: pay off a house mortgage in a handful of years rather than decades well (without needing a degree). It is not very good for your mental health from what I can tell (but hard to tease cause from effect here).

That said, my social acquaintances don’t include the most at risk, the street workers doing dangerous tricks for a little money to get high. Those workers are definitely not saving for a home, and definitely are not getting the rewards for the risks.
