I'd be suprised if his Microsoft Regional Director and MVP status isn't worth much more than 4 figures to him.

Those seeking to initiate engagements with Troy might care more about the fact that he pops up on HN and other high profile tech outlets frequently and the visibility of Have I Been Pwned, but the Regional Director status probably helps a lot with getting some of these engagements signed off.

He probably also receives significant subsidies from Microsoft as well.

Companies that have made a name for themselves by outsourcing to the cheapest IT contractor that will promise them the moon and fill the seats with barely warm bodies? I was one of those bodies so I know exactly why they can't attract talent - they don't bother, and don't reward it. They treat IT as a cost center and are surprised when they get disrupted. The only good options in those companies are to work on the business side or worst case as a project/product/program manager interfacing with the warm fungible contractor bodies.

There are millions of Russians in Ukraine. They don't want closer relations with the eu at the expense of losing relations with Russia.

Russia imported a shit tonne of food from the Ukraine until this all started. Russia doesn't want to lose that supply permanently.

The current partition isn't the best from a strategic/defense position or from a political/objectives one. So it makes sense to correct that before making it permanent.

Negotiations for a peaceful settlement have failed or are stuck.

A program using SERIALIZABLE transaction isolation is required to handle the inevitable errors on commit and retry the transaction or roll back the operation. In practice, developers rarely do and you end up with webapps spitting out 50x errors under load and people blaming the database because they didn't read the fine print. Which is why some projects like psycopg which did default to SERIALIZABLE transaction isolation ended up switching to READ COMMITTED as a more sensible default. It is rare that people actually need SERIALIZABLE and they rarely want to pay the performance or development costs.
Video games that diagnose, monitor and treat depression developed by scientists
Yes, though I'm not convinced that the whole process should be synchronous, unless it is a "hard" use case, such as an ATM withdrawal.

For instance, you may want to do some sanity checks, to see if the account is in a valid
status, i.e "ACTIVE" and not "BLOCKED". You'll also probably want to create a corresponding credit entry to match the newly created debit. I think you are better off optimistically creating a new transaction with a "STARTING" status and then settling it asynchronous (but quickly), rolling it back to an invalid state if something goes wrong, or to "COMPLETED" if everything clears.

Exactly. Invading Ukraine would be political and economical suicide for Putin and Russia. Yet here we are getting bombarded in the media with the supposed threat of an imminent russian invasion.

I find it ridiculous that there are very vocal people in Eastern Europe who are so willing to go to war, and with Russia of all countries. Mind you, they want to go to war but they DEMAND that other NATO countries help them. US and UK, on the other hand, also have obvious economic interests in screwing up Russia and will not hesitate to sacrifice Western Europe's well-being to drive their interests. Also US has been behaving more and more in an Anglo-centric (as opposed to NATO-centric) way, which also raises concerns
As mentioned in other comments, Russia has specifically asked for NATO forces to leave Romania and Bulgaria - both which are NATO (and EU) members.

In 2019, the breach of the Iron March website revealed, among other things, that many of its members were members of the US Marines, Navy, Army, and military reserves.”

Have you considered that these are different groups of people talking?

I'd like to take responsibility for my part by not reusing passwords, not using weak passwords, not using my passwords on computers that I can't trust (other people's PCs, public computers, etc.), etcetra. There's not a whole lot on my end other than physical security and the possibility of malware (not very likely on my systems which generally rely on a small set of linux & bsd packages from distros' official repos). For critical stuff I do some kind of 2fa or OTP too.

Which is to say, it is almost possible for an attacker to gain my credentials.

Now if you do your part, your company won't leak my password either. You won't allow bots to bruteforce trillions of hashes per second. You don't allow your infra or certificates to be compromised. Don't mail me my password. Don't let some rando in if they call or send an email claiming to be me (unless you're a bank and that someone shows up with a valid government issued id plus passes a basic background check). And so on.

If we each do our part, the system is secure. There is no need for you to block access to my account when valid credentials are presented.

The only time I've had a breach that was on me when I was a kid and ran a fucking runescape autominer. Every other time, it's been on the company; either they get breached, or their "security" fails and blocks me. I don't consider that "too strong" security. I consider that weak security, because the job of security is to ensure secure access, and with no access, security has failed its job. And if you permanently lock someone out, as Google has done many times, it's equivalent to putting the user's data through the shredder. That's incredibly bad security; a complete failure to protect the data.
At least there's a small chance that Orban and his mafia will lose the 2022 election. Fingers crossed.
It's wildly useful to have interface contracts that can be verified by the compiler. In my experience this benefit of using pointers (vs references) only when the argument is optional way outweighs the drawback of not seeing an '&' at the call site.
I have read many not completely satisfactory "explanations," most of which are repeated in other comments. Those may be part of the story. The most convincing story that I have seen is as follows:

Ukraine is very similar culturally to Russia. Putin cannot afford to have a successful democratic Ukraine on his borders as an example to Russian citizens. They might decide that Putin's way of governing is not actually the best for the Russian people. So, he does everything he can do to undermine a democratic Ukraine. If a western style democracy fails in the Ukraine, well, clearly it is not suitable for Russia either. Ideally, he would like Ukraine within Russia's sphere of influence as Belarus is, but I am not sure that is vital.

This is actually fairly consistent with how the Soviet Union behaved in Eastern Europe. Romania and Yugoslavia moved away from the Soviet Union, but they were dictatorships, so they were left alone. Anytime there was even a glimmer of democracy, however, the tanks were sent in.

This is a statistical claim. Not a causal claim. But we could make some assumptions about it. For instance low income people may be less likely to afford childcare or driver services like Uber which result in them being more likely to drive or child-care under the influence. Furthermore they may be more likely to have diabetes and heart issues, which may make them more susceptible to comorbities from alcohol toxicity.

There's no need to guess if the parameter is passed by value only. When pointers are used visual inspection alone is enough to ensure that the reader knows what he value of the argument is after the callee returns.

I said that it's easier to read when pointers are used, and you propose stepping through the code as an alternative. Surely you see my point now?

I get this, but I prefer being explicit over less typing. I have implemented schemas in the past involving multiple routes between tables, and self-joins, and getting an engine to work all that out would be a problem. Easier to just do more typing.

> In my experience this benefit of using pointers (vs references) only when the argument is optional way outweighs the drawback of not seeing an '&' at the call site.

Maybe so. Reasonable people differ on this subject.

My point is different: it's just not true that if a parameter is a pointer, then as a general requirement you have to check at runtime whether that pointer is non-NULL. It drives me nuts when I see these checks sprinkled throughout a codebase.
