I don’t get how this works. If the fund invested in Russian assets they are probably down a lot in value now. If they liquidate them will Russia allow that money to even leave the country? If these assets are outside Russia I guess it’s straightforward but still they probably lost either a large percentage or the full amount of their Russian investment

>Hitler had allies

Last I heard, the governments of China and India were conspicuously refusing to condemn the invasion.

It doesn't seem unthinkable to me that a large part of the globe wants and feels they deserve, a "new world order" where the US takes a less hegemonic role and institutional influence is adjusted to reflect the modern world a bit more.
> they prefer to work from home.

that's probably true, but what about the students? The learning outcomes of a lesson over zoom seems to be not so good imho. The kids missing social aspects of school can't be good for them either. Their interests needs to be represented here, and seems like it's not.
This is not the right place for Russian propaganda
There have been at least 6 posts of the same content over the last week under different user names. A bit counterproductive at this point. The sheer number of posts goes beyond attempting to inform and lands squarely into propagandizing.

Several more recent posts fall under the theme of “the West made us/them do X”. Conflating the words “Slavs” with “slaves” (though both words share a common etymology). The regular usage of the term “the West”, which is unknown to most post-Cold-War modern Americans, suggests a Mitteleuropa or East Slav source for the content.

If people are as uninformed as we are about this latest edition of Slavs Behaving Badly, they may want to visit the Freedom House website discussing the current internal politics of the two countries (comprising less than 2% or the world’s population):

Freedom House is a Washington DC-based non-profit, so probably with a US bias, but they are fairly transparent with the justification for their various ratings.
Loved every bits of the visualization. Thanks for this amazing gift!
I expect it is almost certainly tied to socioeconomics here -- wealthier people can afford the hidden costs of the vouchers such as travel time, control of schedule, after-school fees and such, etc.
Can work in ImmersedVR with a Meta Quest 2. Need to use corrective lenses still, but it doesn't bother your ears at least.

Also if you've been using the same glasses for 5 years, you might just need to get a new pair. Tell the optometrist every one of your complaints and see if you can find a more comfortable pair.

The thing about the Hammond is that there are no dynamics. It was designed by a clockmaker as a very precise piece of machinery. It’s all switches and gears.

Its common in all firms (not just IT) that companies expect you to either get promoted or move on to another job. If you're doing the same thing after 5 years you're probably not a star employee and some firms will actively try to get rid of you.

I honestly like working 5+ years on one project so kinda resent being told I'm not great, but that's what it is.

I'm sure Ukraine has done some bad things. But Russian invading is worse than anything Ukraine did, so most people on HN are mad at Russia.

>But this is geopolitics we're talking about: There isn't a good side and an evil side.

Are you stating that as an absolute fact? There's never been an evil side in global geopolitics? Is it possible for there to be an evil side in geopolitics in the future?

Good analogy, sheds light on the fact that the narcissistic abuser doesn't expect to win the girlfriend back with such a manoeuvre, he just wants to scare off any potential boyfriends and render her alone and helpless. In which case the victory will be purely sadistic punishment with a good chance that she has been so demoralized that she will fall back in to his lap "like a ripe fruit from a tree."

It's why I disagree with various claims of Putin's "genius". I think these sort of stratagems are an instinctive part of the nature of narcissistic personalities.

> Well actually this is not an aphormism, it's not even a propositional statement, because “X is a monad” is just math-speak for “X is composable”, just like “Y is a functor” is math-speak for “Y is mappable”.

Nah. Monads are one relatively special way to compose stuff. And monads don't even compose very well.

To give example: the weaker applicative functors (to use Haskell's terminology) compose much better.

Indeed. Galaxies are much "closer" to each other in this sense than are most smaller things in the universe.

If we assume the diameter of the solar system is 100 AU (the size of Pluto's orbit) and Proxima Centauri is 4 LY away, the ratio is about 2500: The distance to Proxima Centauri is about 2500 times the diameter of the solar system.

If we assume the diameter of the Milky Way is 100k LY and the distance to Andromeda is 2.5 million LY, the ratio is 25. Not 2500 but 25.
Can't work out if you're joking or not! Is this actually going to be viable?
That's fine, but it seems like the target audience of the article is the people who hope to become the next Van Rossum.

I'd also add, for a couple of companies, Google's approach springs to mind.

What net savings? Dates will still get padded out to a byte alignment when in memory and being processed on the CPU (or gods help us all). You'd just be making it so there's extra handling any time you serialized it across I/O, to save a few bytes there. If you really wanted to save those bytes you can write your own serialization format, and that might make sense if you're sending massive amounts of timestamps or similar (but you'd probably see better results by compressing it first), but don't try and rope the rest of us into that pain when we aren't, like, serializing logs or something.
Well, you kind of made it sound like he was predicting it wouldn't be found for a century (though I suppose is he'd written the book just 4 years earlier, he'd then be right).

It actually goes into some detail about why the Higgs boson is important, it just says "it hasn't been found yet". If you fill in the epilogue of "the Higgs boson was found in 2012" yourself, those pages are still consistent, correct and useful.

It would really be out of date if the Higgs had been disproved, as it would have two pages of, essentially, a branch predictor failure.
Setting up a cross-compiler with LFS helped me understand portability. There's so much that we don't consider about the relationship between the lines of code and where it'll be running. ARM is sort of making a comeback, so perhaps it'll become more important.
Your theory is wrong. A reverse proxy does not an arms-length transaction make. You can run the website through as many proxies as you want, it's still you running the code to show the end user a website, and you have to redistribute the source if you're using a modified AGPL program—and the theory of the GPL licenses generally is that by linking to a (A)GPL library, your new work counts as a modified version of that library. And sham transactions with separate entities would likewise just be treated as you just doing all the steps.

You're committing the same fallacy as a lot of software people: thinking that the law is a rigid computer program. Contracts are not executed like computer programs.

There's plenty of thorny issues with the GPL (and AGPL), such as imprecision over what constitutes a modified version vs. just an aggregation with other programs. But what you've identified is not really one of them.
If global thermonuclear war is the outcome, there’s nothing I can do about it. There is no gain in worrying about something you can’t control.

In terms of what is within my control, my family is already as well-prepared as is reasonably possible after the COVID panic(s). Any further “prepping” would hurt us economically to the point that it wouldn’t be rational.

FWIW, I don’t think that’s going to happen. The worst case that I see as likely is a limited nuclear exchange, contained within Eastern Europe. I think that would be extremely unlikely, and would result in Putin’s death and drastic changes in Russian politics.
My point was only that Betelgeuse might be close enough and big enough to be more than a 1D point from our Earthly outlook since our eyes can just about tell that it isn't perfectly round even without a telescope. The Sun certainly is. No other star is.

My guess is that there would have been some minor disturbances; bureaucratic snafus about life insurance and so on. But unlikely to be a collapse of society.

You’re talking about transferring many GBs of video textures and other GPU state between GPU vendors. Even across a USB3.0 interface this seems slower and an order of magnitude more difficult than just providing a mechanism to manage the save state more effectively. Look at the stuff PS5 and UE5 are doing with instant high res loading instantaneously. These are more tractable problems (in the past games like HL, which was written by Valve, show that it’s possible to have seamless instantaneous loading)
In in Northern Europe and (c) is not true for new housing stock.

I'm building a house and ran the calculations (two years ago, before gas got expensive) for various forms of heating, and solar PV + heat pump came out the cheapest. We have net-metering but still need to pay "transmission fees" (7c/kWh) for electricity we later consume.

I also considered just using gas for heating in the winter, but the connection fees (installation and ongoing network fees) came out to be much more than the cost of the gas we would actually use.

This is true, per user pricing can result in stuff like customers sharing user accounts. Although it’s easier to counter that effect with per user pricing by adding things like audit logs, which are very valuable (and even required) in some industries.

Oh all that is public knowledge. You’ll find references to the repo layout in just about every open sourced project that comes with Bazel BUILD files.
What’s humbling is even for all that, our effect on the universe will still be nonexistent and eventually every bit of evidence that could ever possibly point to our existence will turn to dust and will be indistinguishable from every other bit of dust.

Pretty sure I did just fine at the time...
It's sad that we go from bash ---> massive enterprisey system. There's nothing in between.

I ran into this at my work. We have ansible and salt and terraform and nomad and spinnaker and kubernetes and docker, each in varying states of favor/disfavor.

Bash scripts are awful: no standard library, no functional ide for debugging, pathetic language, whitespace sensitive. The only saving grace is the universality.

Everything else? Heavyweight servers, daemons, opinions through the wazoo.

What did I want? I want a way to get an inventory/list/cluster map of nodes, then be able to send CLI commands to them, and the parse the response and send more. I want to a decent language, good runtime, IDE/modern toolchain support.

Can I just ssh into boxes? Yeah, uh, kinda? Or maybe I use aws-ssm to send/receive commands. Or kubectl or dockerrun. Or teleport. Or salt daemon. Each of them can do the job of "send command to a node".

And I want to write meta-applications on top of that.

So I settled on groovy: optional typing, if I want near-full JVM speed I can use CompileStatic, lots of scriptability, full JVM parallelism/threading power. The JVM sucks in some ways at running CLI commands locally, but once I figured that monstrosity out, got Jsch working for "pure" java SSH, caching kinda solved, thing....

So after about six rewrites, and a sufficient amount of configuration that makes a complicated ssh conf look like child's play, I can do cluster-level operations that make me happy: setup clusters, orchestrate/run/track load tests, fully scripted backups and restores, migrations/upgrades, red/black. Restore backups to analysis clusters.

I'm not tied to a specific cloud. I'm not tied to a command delivery substrate.

Is it useful to someone else? Dunno, I'll try to get it released and documented.

Does anyone else know of something like this?

I cannot seem to find a FOSS version of what I know as industrial / plant process monitoring. Think Input A and B go to Process C which is making Amount N and passing them to output D. Usually you would see this as a series of pipes, valves, machines, etc.

Maybe something like a SCADA visualization? IT would be excellent if it could be web based so I could share the view, and then feed it data from a back end db or similar.

What I'm actually interested in it for: Network monitoring for natural disaster information in connected systems. That way I can display how a series of rivers is being tied together, work in things like flow rate, topping rates for dams, alert levels, etc. Then, when things are getting hairy, issue alerts and change upstream/downstream colours.

Edit: Scadavis.io + node-red looks possible, but also looks like a complete pain.
Estonia, Lithuania, and Lativia are all members of NATO making them untouchable. And each are too small geographically and from a GDP perspective to really be a threat. Ukraine has strategic positioning and natural resources to one day be a relatively large economy.
I worry not just about Ukraine but about Russia too. [video]
Adding one more thing: I'd also say there's a big asymmetry in DLLs vs. static libraries. DLLs that can be independently upgraded pretty much have to use the C ABI, which is more like RPC/IPC. It doesn't really make sense to have a pure Rust or C++ DLL -- you lose all your types and type safety; you have to write glue.

So actually I'd say IPC and DLLs are closer together, and static libraries are on the other end of the spectrum. IPC and DLLs are both dynamic, and that's the important distinction. That's what a lot of the decisions in the acko.net article hinge on
Good example but I probably should have said “interstate war” because civil war is by its nature very often about class warfare. Also, how a war ends doesn’t count: we were talking about sanctions as a means of inflicting suffering during a war.

all states need to start differentiating property taxes for primary residential house vs 8th investment property.

Property Taxes should be something like this:

Primary residential house : 1%

Secondary residential house : 3%

3rd investment house: 8%

..

30th investment house: 60%

The housing shouldn't be used as investment vehicles and speculative assets. Too critical to COL and Economy.
You're not the only one. Luckily, we have options.
I see your point. I'm still not totally convinced, and have two followups:

Firstly, the pragmatic and in my opinion definitely correct reasoning:

Even if there is a technical loophole, as you describe, it doesn't matter because no one will enforce this so-called violation. The copyright holders of the code will not care if someone forks their code, updates it, doesn't update the link, contributes back, and has zero users.

Someone who does not host a modified copy is following the spirit of the license, the spirit the developer intended, and as such has basically 0 real legal risk. They also certainly did not cause any damages in their infringement, so I doubt the courts would care.

Second, the pedantic technical bit.

> your modified version must prominently offer all users

If there are 0 users of my modified version, I have offered a link to "all users". I guess I have to offer a link to myself if I'm playing around with my copy locally, but I somehow feel like I can figure out how to get the source code myself.
> Tune interviews to the role at hand. This should be obvious, but for some reason full-stack web devs still have to pretend like dynamic programming is a big part of their daily work.

This personally hurt :)

Completely agree with you on everything you've written.
FRP systems like RXJava, Combine, etc to me seems like an enormous and extremely convoluted kitchen sink of abstractions that I’d much prefer to avoid dealing with. From the outside it looks like a Turing tar-pit dressed up with fancy suspenders and a top-hat. It does not feel declarative to me; instead of declaring that function X needs data Y (and should recompute whoever Y changes), I instead need to set up a pipeline of steps as crazy as a make file that hopefully output Y at the right time. ??? Maybe I’m just looking at bad examples, but it really seems like plumbing a Good Compiler should do for me. At least Jetpack Compose is throwing the Android developers a rope out.
