Yes and no -- current sanctions against Russia are aimed at illicit wealth, and they likely still will be.

Western governments will probably try not to use sanctions that primarily hurt the Russian people, because there is little hope that will work; Putin has spent a decade building an explicitly backward-looking, history-whitewashing kind of nationalism, and people might tire of that, sure, but he's also been very good at very publicly helping his opponents more fully experience the view from high windows.

Remember Don Jr's meeting with the Russians that was supposedly about adoption? It was actually the Magnitsky Act the Russians really wanted to talk about (they want it gone). He said as much himself, and it's clear that even the people advising the Trump campaign were decidedly chilly on the idea of getting rid of it.

Global Magnitsky legislation is why Russia is upping the ante. While I'm no scholar of it, I would expect the West to start with strengthened Magnitsky-type sanctions that prevent oligarchs from getting their money out before things go bad.

Because it is the oligarchs who can uproot Putin most quickly.

Putin is personally weak and isolated at this point -- clearly either clinically vulnerable or otherwise terrified of catching Covid, and distrustful of everyone around him. He's clearly acting more emotionally and less rationally.

Sanctions that target -- or isolate -- the wealth of his closest circle of oligarchs are more likely to get somewhere, because they will gnaw away at his sense of invulnerability.

I'm not saying you're wrong about him, I have no idea. But you're clearly amplifying and spreading the accusation. You have some responsibility to find out if it's true before doing so. Now that said, I don't want to let everyone else on here off the hook by blaming you. They also have a responsibility to take your statement with a grain of salt too. But we can only control our own behavior.

I love how the concept of 'platform independent' evolved - you would think that it means you can run it anywhere but almost all software that uses 'platform-independent' code is very platform-dependent

Because if you make an Electron app it's only logical that because it is platform-independent it can only be run on macOS
>> Product managers are incentivized to deliver features faster.
This is a misconception. Product managers are/should be (depending on your organization) incentivized to maximize value. Sometimes it may mean being faster to market to validate a hypothesis, other times it may mean pausing on launches for a month or two to make sure you've built a strong enough foundation to set up for the future. Often, it means balancing of your team's portfolio to take on "execution wins", invest in tech for the future, and explore some big bets.

Agree 100% that every PM needs to understand the operational burden the engineering team is facing as well as other blockers in their way, and proactively ensure that they focus on the work with utmost clarity and without unnecessary interruptions.

> Imagine throwing out every process you just described (minimal specs and plans, no contracts, no documentation, avoiding as many processes and tools as possible), and instead replacing them with conversations. You'd have those conversations (dev to dev, dev to PM, PM to customer, dev to customer), spend a few days building software, and then have those conversations all over again, continuously looping until the product is either "done" or something more important came up to work on.

> Would you call that team "agile" or "waterfall"?

Waterfall, 100%. I've been through that hell - management comes down with a date and brief elevator pitch. Then we're in constant talks over the next two weeks to hit a date no one really understands the requirements or rationales of, ironing out responsibilities between teams without any holistic long-term architectural vision (because there isn't even a product vision).

> I'm not sure I know how to square "Working software over comprehensive documentation" with "well defined stories with great documentation" and "clean specs upfront".

Comprehensive documentation literally means a very high coverage, perhaps 100% coverage of architecture docs, tutorials, design specs, etc. I said "well defined" and "great" :)

Agile is not contrary to documentation. Instead, there is a recognition that documentation's value is the time saved on development/discussion. That balance point depends on the team, and should always be considered in retrospectives.

If you're a team of 3 that all know how everything works, without immediate growth prospects... yeah, who needs docs? On the other hand, a FAANG team of 12 growing to 30 over the next 3 months will need documentation.

My "right-level" of documentation is that a junior engineer can pick up a story and ship it alone. The story is not fully-defined - implementer will have to learn some things from the docs, read through some of the code, decide on implementation strategy themselves... but they should be able to do so without meeting with others.

Meetings are expensive for teams, and context switching is expensive for ICs. Meetings that require bringing in senior engineers[1] for story-level details is all but an organizational anti-pattern.

[1] Generally, I'd regard having any single SME in the critical path of implementation is an antipattern (borrowing from kanban, this person invariably becomes a bottleneck on a large fast-paced team)

Putin is in the wrong here but there are no good guys. US rhetoric on this has predicted a full-scale invasion that hasn't come to fruition multiple times and the media just laps it up. It's reminiscent of the WMD justification for invading Iraq. It's straight up Manufacturing Consent [1].

However, Putin has a point: extending NATO membership to Ukraine is an overtly hostile act by the US and NATO member states. Putin no more wants NATO bases in the Ukraine than the US would want Chinese or Russian military bases in Canada or Mexico.

But Russia is not and never was going to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It would destroy Russia. Trying to do this in Afghanistan, a substantially smaller and less developed country, played a significant factor in the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Russia wants a buffer between it and NATO and access to the Black Sea. That's it.

Is this based on empirical evidence or something? My sample size isn't very big, but I haven't really noticed any correlation between this practice and whether the product is crappy. I just chalked this up to manufacturers colluding with retailers to stop price matches, rather than because "clearly both shit or they wouldn’t try to hide in the herd".

Mini LED has a marketing issue in my opinion. Afaict it is a rebranding of FALD. Rumors several years ago made it seem like "mini LED" would be LCD with per-pixel backlighting.

New Mexico has the same "first in time, first in right" law, sadly imposed by Americans when it became a state, and mostly (but not entirely) replacing the acequia system here that is (for obvious reasons) extremely similar to the one in TFA.

The FIT/FIR system is not going to survive. Of this, I am certain. It's a concept based on mistaken ideas about the amount of water in the American southwest, in turn based on a particularly wet couple of decades at the turn of the 20th century. If the current drought continues, or at some other point in the future, the implicit farming-centric nature of FIT/FIR is going to clash with the desires of these states' growing populations. Farming is not going to win (by farming, I mean large scale industrial production, mostly for export).
Hi Dang, this article has been used as a strawman in many places ("eat the bugs, live in the pod") but I think the article itself has some good insight, e. g. it's true that there has been a shift from owning to renting/borrowing many things (Uber, Airbnb, Zipcar etc). It's good for us to consider the ways that that's good and bad.
Yep. Same thing with filesystems. Since they're meant for humans to traverse, finding a directory structure with deep enough nesting to blow up the process stack or hit a runtime recursion limit is sufficiently rare that you shouldn't even worry about it. I'm sure there are plenty of other examples where the practical limit you'll see in much lower than what an address space stack can fit. We had a task at an old job to create dependency and build trees of every service in the overall project and then operate on them. Even assuming a language runtime with a very small limit, say Python with its 997 or so default maximum simultaneous stack frames, we didn't have 997 individual services, so even the maximally malicious dependency tree couldn't have exceeded that limit.
US and Britain promised a lot and delivered practically nothing.

This one is on them. No one even asked them to fight, but they did promise to defend Ukraine in exchange for nukes. So there was zero reason not to hit russia with crippling sanctions a month ago.

history tends to repeat itself. When Moldavian nationalists tried in 1990-1992 to clean the west bank of Dnestr (future Transnistria ) from Russians and Ukrainians, the Russian and Ukrainian volunteers were fighting there together. The Ukrainian forces were mostly from Ukrainian nationalist organizations OUN-UPA. These organizations were core to the Ukrainian volunteer battalions which tried to pacify the Donbass in 2014, and naturally a lot of Russian volunteers opposed them (some people who fought each other in 2014 were even fighting together back in 1992).

Well, that is really a metaphysical question. If there was a way of knowing whether consciousness exists before conception and if so, what is its "quality of life", it would shed a new light on our perspective of not just when, but also whether to have kids and how many.

> If you made changes to a document, pressed control-S, and then 1 second later the power went out, then you might lose that last save.

If you made changes to a document, pressed control-S, and then 1 second later the power went out, then the entire filesystem might become corrupted and you lose all data.

Keep in mind that small writes happen a lot -- a lot a lot. Every time you click a link in a web page it will hit cookies, update your browser history, etc etc, all of which will trigger writes to the filesystem. If one of these writes triggers a modification to the superblock, and during the update a FLUSH is ignored and the superblock is in a temporary invalid state, and the power goes out, you may completely hose your OS.
Probably 10 years ago with first ssds, however it feels like software developers think they can affort to write even worse than ever before because their code is still 'fast enough'. Or on the other hand if it's really slow they blame the hardware and not themselves which drives me nuts.
