Do you have any basis for the claim that "Kazakhstan's current government is a Russian ally."? President Tokayev seems to mostly continue the course of carefully balancing Kazakhstans national independence with all their foreign relations, so one could as well claim that Kazakhstan current government a chinese ally or a european ally, given that they are not at war with either and those are the three largest trade partners of Kazakhstans. In order of export trade volume: EU, China, Russia and for import trade volume Russia, China, EU. Note that Kazhakstan exports five times more than it imports. (Source: oec.world and comtrade.un.org)
I see money as life-fuel. I personally don't have the need to own a vast fuel-storage farm and just greedily watch it grow -- instead, I look for ways to spend on personal growth. Travel, education, and experiences have been a huge return on investment for me personally. Once you get into the wide world, the ideas may flow naturally, or your ambition, or both may calm and you may find a new direction best suited for you.

Failing that, though, one of my hobbies is aviation, and it has a very unique ability to consume any and all cash you may have, in unlimited amounts. So if you've accumulated a smaug pile of gold, and are looking for the fastest way to blow it all, well, time to go flying! :)

This is an incredible video. Truly hypnotical.
Accusing me of lying while you are doing that is ironic. Covid vaccines do not prevent transmission. Ontario is 77% vaccinated but over 81% of cases are vaccinated. Even the rate of hospitalizations is now almost the same between the vaccinated vs unvaccinated here in Ontario.

That is not the same as real effective vaccines like polio measles etc which prevent transmission and infection. Polio disappeared as more and more vaccinations occurred. Covid on the other hand has not and will not disappear. And why take my word for it when you can literally listen to the word of the vaccine developers themselves who say these shots will not achieve herd immunity and Covid is here to stay.

Flu shots fail because of the mismatch and how fast it mutates.

If you are willing to call something which does not prevent infection and transmission a “vaccine” then there’s no difference between a vaccine and a therapeutic.

You are willing to conflate these shots with traditional vaccines without questioning whether these shots fit the definition of a vaccine. By simply calling any drug a vaccine, you are doing a major disservice to the real actually effective vaccines.
Well, our beloved Hungarian government never made this mistake. I don't mean buying and using Pegasus against opposition politicians and journalists, which they obviously did, but admitting that they have it. (Except for one well known idiot who is a prominent founding member of the governing party, Fidesz, and regularly gets confused and spills the beans when journalists question him. Not that any Fidesz member or government official would talk to the press except for exceptional occasions.)

EDIT: typos.
No, we don't want it to implicitly be a list item. We want it to fail as invalid syntax. If I wanted the two and three strings to be combined, I would have /explicitly/ used an operator for that. It's the implicit behavior of that which is the problem.

Admittedly, the difference here is that codereview.doctor spent time tuning a custom lint on a variety of repos. In an org with a sufficiently large monorepo (or enough repos, but I don't really know how the tooling scales there) it's possible to justify spending time doing that, but for most companies it's one of those "one day we'll get around to it" issues.
The lack of a static type-system is IMO what makes these one-character mistakes very annoying. The compiler can't tell you something is wrong, so you're just left to figure out why things are broken, just to realize it was the smallest of typos.
We've been here before isn't the same thing as 'this is fine'. The earth has had several extinction-level events in it's history - it wouldn't be 'fine' to have one again.

The cone is a good way to explain it to add the flow of time, and the cone shape comes from the expansion of the universe. The tip is the big bang and the wide end of the cone today.

By taking a telescope and looking back in time we would be looking at a smaller universe heading towards the big bang in the cone, and hence the redshifted nature of what we see - since the universe is smaller.

If you were to take a slice of the top of the cone, that is your spherical view of the universe today - in 3d. The cone is 4d.
unrelated to snaps but i just helped a relative get back into dual booting. apparently i had told them about "kde neon" and they had used youtube to dual boot. ended up with a broken grub. "ow. why does it say grub rescue".

i made them get a live usb, install anydesk and then found out https://askubuntu.com/a/531448

which immediately helped the kid reuse his pc. the surprise on the phone was genuine. "it worked".

and i kinda wished it should have because the "baby duck syndrome", this would've been the linus popos event for this person.

i really think we need to improve some sort of "youtube basic linux tutorials", because apparently text is old school now (thats what i've been told)

are there youtubers who i can recommend to new users who can help people to ease into the linux community until they can learn their way across even basic troubleshooting their systems?
That's not what the Howie test says. In US law a security requires the expectation of earning a profit.
From watching British television, at least, I gather that "Brilliant!" usually is akin to American "Cool!" or "That's great!". On the other hand, in the US we would use "brilliant" to describe Albert Einstein (or someone else who is exceptionally intelligent).

I think there's a bit of a nuanced difference in how we use the word "clever" as well. Where you would call someone clever, we would usually say he is smart (or maybe brilliant, if smart enough). "Clever" in the US often has a slightly derogatory sense to it. Someone who is good at solving a Rubik's cube is clever. Yes, it takes a certain intelligence but of a gimmicky sort.
It didn't turn Communist. Pol Pot's regime wasn't "communist" except calling itself this way. Soviet Union never recognized them as Communist.

Only if you generate infinite tests, then your coverage approaches 0%. But 100% covered code + 0% covered tests = ~50% total coverage.

Also, the obvious solution is self-testing code. (Jokes aside, structures like code contracts attempt something like this).
Their Synchronized<> is a thing we also came up with to use in our code. It's so helpful it should be part of the Standard Library.
You can also use it whilst avoiding the yaml, but it’s easier to get in there.

The great advantage of HA is that it can be made to work. This sounds sarcastic but is a huge advantage compared to other systems, apps and devices
It boggles my mind that anyone can oppose transparency. Why do some people view these vaccines/pharma companies as something sacred, not to be questioned.

Moderation is needed for any communication platform.

Flag all keywords you would need to do a bomb threat for review.

Preferably have a client side filter, like profanity, so users can customize to their liking and you aren't censoring too heavily.

Some server side filtering for illegal messages like threats.

You are quite right, it does have rough edges and certainly more than 10 years ago when we started buying into their system (we have four rooms covered by 8 speakers now).

The Spotify bug when it randomly cuts our is REALY annoying, it seems to happen in a cluster about once a week.

Indeed, an interesting coincidence is that it's often the same list of cities that are cited as being hot for techies, and also for having a housing crisis.
- Phone scammers are running rampant. We don't ban phones.

- Spam has been a problem since the inception of email, and the majority of email is spam. We don't ban email.

- Baseball cards are similarly pointless. So are in-game cosmetic items. We haven't banned those.

The problems you're describing are mostly unrelated to crypto, have existed, and will continue to exist whether crypto remains.

This doesn't mean there are no valid criticisms of crypto - energy concerns are real, and need to be addressed - but if you wish to ban crypto for the reasons you've cited, you need to widen the scope of what you hope to ban.
Note that for the purposes of the Free Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), this is just another consumer report and you still have all the same rights you normally would, including the rights to recieve a copy of information in your file, dispute innaccuracies, and sue for damages.
I don't get the how this anti-charity morality tale is relevant. It seems as though the tenants were paying rent, not living off charity:

> But, to the tenants who lived there, it was just about the last place in the city where a disability check still covered rent.

The real problem seems to be that there was nowhere else they could go where rent was similarly affordable.
Is this how an article about, say, a man-made famine should be titled? Clinically and with complete detachment?
This could make the entire org/company run and innovate much slower. Ideally you can build better models that predict long term conversion from short term data. These models can be refined with long term experiments.
Fantastic. I was vaguely aware of mutt in the 90s, but had completely forgotten about it.
Ask HN: Other guide series similar to The Manga Guides?

Also all but 1 of the issues they found relates to test code, it seems people are a little less careful compared to functional code.

The article above is about the Polish ruling party. "They" logically means exactly them (the Polish Ruling party and/or the Polish state which, I guess, is mostly controlled by the said party).
Raw land if you're interested in using it eventually or for recreation.

Renting could be an option, but probably better to use it as vacation rentals rather than permanent due to all the uncertainty around rent payments during the pandemic (and potentially after).
Yep. We’ve made it illegal to build cheap housing anywhere within cities so poor people wind up on the street.
The problem is that the cost reduction is a bit of an illusion, since your fertilizer, pesticide and herbicide costs are going to go up over time as your land turns marginal, and since there are so many mega-farms running huge GPS controlled equipment you're never going to be cost competitive at a smaller scale for corn/soy, but you have to accept the market price, which leaves a razor thin margin (if any at all).

The economics of farming are all fucked up, because our current farming practices have a lot of externalities that aren't priced into conventional produce, and producers who try to improve things to remove these externalities either have to take a loss versus the producers who say "fuck the future, fuck everyone who isn't me" or create new markets for their goods (which is where the whole farmer's market movement and the local food guilt thing come from).
You're right, I forgot that it was kWh already.

It's worse than that. The GitHub title is "Folly: Facebook Open-source Library". The bolded sentence in the readme is "Folly contains a variety of core library components used extensively at Facebook". In fact, the entire first paragraph is about how it's used at Facebook.

It takes about a minute to find any information at all about this library besides the fact that it's used at Facebook (by the way, did you miss that? it's used at Facebook! Facebook!!). And even that information is empty bromides about how it's "designed with practicality and efficiency in mind". Hmm, I prefer my software to be impractical and inefficient...

All I take away from this is that Facebook has an irrationally optimistic expectation of how the world views its engineering prowess.
How hard was it to pull your own data? What are they looking for to validate you are you?
In most languages an array with 3 elements has the same type as an array with 2 elements so the type system isn't going to warn you about the difference between

You're absolutely correct, proper A/B testing has many engineering challenges!

No angle or point with that comment. Just interesting! I like looking at exif data. And I think there should be more awareness around what it often leaks.
I just launched my most recent side project on Cloudflare pages. It's a pretty great UX. Just plug in your git repo, add your build steps, and it basically takes care of the rest: reversible production deployments - a long with unique endpoints for development branches. My project is purely static which makes it considerably easier to deploy, but I'm looking forward to trying out Cloudflare Workers the next time I have more steep requirements.

Personally I'm pretty steeped in the devops world at my day job so dealing with that as little as possible is pretty appealing to me for hobby projects.

Might be a no-go for you if Postgres is a big part of your project.

Love that anecdote :D

I used to work at a film marketing agency, which involved going to private screenings of films before general release.

On one film we were working on, a colleague and I attended a screening of a close-to-finished film. I was tasked by the agency with taking notes on anything of importance that might be usable from a marketing perspective. There were a crowd of others at the screening also, another agency and random people.

Throughout the film I was checking my watch (for timestamps) and taking notes.
Afterward when milling about in the lobby it turns out the director was sitting just behind me and he was getting more and more worried and nervous as I continued to check my watch and take notes...

It was only his second film, a rehash of an older classic one, and he thought I was one of the journalists who were also at the screening and would slate the film... I often get a smile thinking of the panic and dread that must have went though his head every time I checked my watch.
It was a good film though and went on to do well.
Which two ways?
It's sort of like the Unix Philosophy. It sounds good and is probably a good thing to strive for generally, but it's ultimately pointless when it comes to actually evaluating whether approach A is better than approach B.
I'm not a junior and I don't know anyone who got a raise higher than 5% or so without a resignation letter in their hand.

In my experience this can only happen at small companies. The bigger the company the more they'll wish you good luck in future endeavors if you insist.

Yes there is so much uncertainty that I think that the best response is to do nothing.
Adding $0.10/KM (side note, why are we doing math with USD and metric distances?) isn't raising the price 'a little' - it's over a 5% increase in trucking costs.

Do you think most trucking operations have much more than a 5% margin in their businesses right now, or that if they did, they'd just eat such a huge increase?

Kazakhstan unrest hits a fifth of global Bitcoin mining network
Very sympathetic to that and it's all disconcerting, but

1) the 'Supreme / Constitutional Court' issue is not nearly as 'one sided'. There were terrible shenanigans played by 'the other side' prior to their departure, which originated that crisis. While I have little faith in PiS, they had legitimate concerns as least to provide cover for some of their own actions.

and item 4) "It defies EU who says member countries must have EU law supremacy" - sorry to burst your bubble but that is reality. There is no treaty or law that gives ECJ 'Supremacy'. The ECJ in 1964 [1] made a ruling on their own jurisdiction and 'declared supremacy'. There is no legislative or treaty basis for quite the authority they assigned to themselves. Some local courts in the EU (i.e. France) have started to defer to the ruling, therefore legitimizing it, but it's still a 'Giant Problem' in the legal foundation of the EU. It was a big 'non populist' issue for Brexit, not really talked about in the media because regular citizens don't care but it was definitely an issue among the elites, and, it's still a contentious issue in Germany (and other places), where the Supremacy of ECJ is still not effectively recognized and it's a 'grey area'.

But yes, it's a serious problem overall, we can agree.

You can find something similar in consulting businesses:

One thing that is not that clear to me, what the vision is on how to use Reshape once it is production ready. Is it meant to be used exclusively to handle you db schema (e.g. replacing alembic, sqitch, etc. completely) or alongside such tools to handle difficult migrations?

From where I was standing it did. A BBS in my toll-free range was reborn as "SETEC Astronomy". I used a variation of "myvoiceismypassport" as a password for longer than I should admit.

On the other hand, "hack the Gibson" was a back-handed taunt to mock users who were more into hacker "fashion" and leetspeak than software and tinkering.

War Games was neither diminished nor elevated in comparison to Sneakers, in my circles it just stood alone with unique, unassailable charm.
