> Russia is not at war with the EU though?

> RF is at information war with the West for about a decade.

I just answered your question.

> So is China

So, you know the answer already. There are countries, which cannot attack West directly, so they attack indirectly, using propaganda. Some countries are better at that than others. However, one mad country directly attacks another country now, which tries to join the Western block, to keep them in their area of influence. This is the direct attack at almost the member of the West with goal to make West weaker.
Beautiful resurrection of the classic Rhodes piano! The demos sound very nice. :)

Looks like the people behind this are LoopMasters, who are well known for making sample packs from recorded instruments.

I wonder how this model compares to the Vintage Vibe pianos (https://www.vintagevibe.com/pages/vintage-vibe-piano )

I really need to thoroughly read this. I have scanned sections like the one on References and Pointers and found them useful, but only scratched the surface.

Late last year I switched my work site from Go to Nim. Then this year, with the help of the community and library nimterop, I was able to wrap the duckdb C api and use it in my web app for really fast analytic queries. I really like Nim syntax and the routes in jester:

routes:
get "/":
resp "Wow, nice"

The false-positive virus issue affected my workstation as well, but after consulting with our security team we were able to resolve it.

I would love Nim to have more funding and support.

I like the batteries included approach, but certainly there are some libraries that do things like json better.
The CLI is just like any other UNIX/POSIX, and as far as Android is concerned, Linux does not exist for userspace coming from Play Store, including apps written with NDK/AGK[0].

Only OEMs have the ability to directly use Linux, doing so from userspace means using what Google considers as being private APIs.

Not to mention that Google could at any moment change it by Zircon, if they could so feel inclined.

So Android is hardly the best that Linux could make it as desktop.

You fundamentally misunderstand how mining works. Difficulty automatically increases if blocks are being mined at faster than the expected rate. Needing more GPUs to mine the same number of coins raises the price.

The list is so incredibly extensive, but here are a few highlights I thought were especially interesting:

> [2.2. Digestive system cancer] Nambara’s study showed that IVM could significantly inhibit the proliferation of gastric cancer cells in vivo and in vitro [....]

> In a study that screened Wnt pathway inhibitors, IVM inhibited the proliferation of multiple cancers, including the colorectal cancer cell lines CC14, CC36, DLD1, and Ls174 T, and promoted apoptosis by blocking the Wnt pathway

> [2.6. Brain glioma]
Glioma is the most common cerebral tumor and approximately 100,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with glioma every year. Glioblastoma is the deadliest glioma, with a median survival time of only 14-17 months. Experiments showed that IVM inhibited the proliferation of human glioblastoma U87 and T98 G cells in a dose-dependent manner and induced apoptosis in a caspase-dependent manner. This was related to the induction of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Moreover, IVM could induce apoptosis of human brain microvascular endothelial cells and significantly inhibit angiogenesis. These results showed that IVM had the potential to resist tumor angiogenesis and tumor metastasis. In another study, IVM inhibited the proliferation of U251 and C6 glioma cells by inhibiting the Akt/mTOR pathway.

> In gliomas, miR-21 can regulate the Ras/MAPK signaling pathway and enhance its effects on proliferation and invasion. The DDX23 helicase activity affects the expression of miR-12. IVM could inhibit the DDX23/miR-12 signaling pathway by affecting the activity of DDX23 helicase, thereby inhibiting malignant biological behaviors. This indicated that IVM may be a potential RNA helicase inhibitor and a new agent for of tumor treatment. However, here, we must emphasize that because IVM cannot effectively pass the blood-brain barrier, the prospect of the use of IVM in the treatment of gliomas is not optimistic.
Except that it's (1) not a pile of crap (it actually works unreasonably well, and keeps improving) and (2) building for one platform and having third party tooling make that work on other platforms means you are not spending five, ten, or even more times as much on purely supporting additional build targets.

No sane PM would go "hey let's take a huge chunk of our budget and spend it on native builds and QA for at least five different-enough-to-all-have-their-own-bugs linux platforms in addition to Windows, rather than spending it on actual game development for a single platform".
I think it would be more impressive if investors gave fewer shits about the headline comp packages of a few executives, and instead advocated that Apple pay more attention to how it's no longer creating a place that people want to develop their careers at.

Maybe this is just an endemic problem, but it seems to me that big companies have lost the ability/desire to cultivate their own people. Nowadays it's "let people's salaries and career growth stagnate if they choose to stay internal", yet complain when they jump ship to another company that's willing to pay more with a promotion. And at the same time contribute to the problem by being very willing to hire external candidates at salary multiples compared to people from inside, while putting up unreasonable bars for promotion from within.

I have yet to see any large company get this formula right. Not to say that I long for the days when you could make a career out of working for GE or something, but you imagine that some respected company (Apple?) could make it so that people wanted to grow and stay with them. Give people responsibility, roles, develop them for a career rather than trying to shortcut it with an external person who looks good but ends up being just talk.

Maybe that's impossible nowadays with the pressure to move on to a new product every 3 years.

It's worth noting that hydraulic fracturing itself is rarely the problem. Issues come from moving fluid volumes somewhere else during production: subsidence due to extraction from the place where the hydrocarbons are, or (most often) from injecting produced water into disposal wells, eventually triggering faults. Some of that produced water was introduced by the operations, but most of it was just in the ground with the oil & gas being produced.

It's possible to directly trigger small faults with while fracturing the rock, or to do something stupid like fracture into a freshwater zone other people are using, but that's not what's driving quakes in e.g. Oklahoma.
I think mesh VPNs and VPS-based solutions are the same in terms of privacy. They all involve third parties that you have to trust. Mesh VPNs might even be slightly better because it uses P2P connections whenever it can.

The best solution IMHO would be to use mesh VPNs and secure inter-node connections with an additional layer of encryption. SSH and TLS should cover most use cases here, and both are widely supported and easy to set up.
Ask HN: Do you know any tool for signing documents that assures privacy?
There are loads and loads of online tools for signing documents. From time to time I need to sign important things like employment contracts etc. but it's hard to find a tool that assures me the document I upload is not being saved, scanned or analyzed to get my personal data out of it.

Do you know of any such tool?

Edit: for clarification, I mean manual signing, like with a pen, on PDF or similar documents (not digital signing)
I do think a lot of it is "tradition" for lack of a better word. That aside--and knowing some part-time contractors (not in technical roles)--a few things.

1.) A significant percentage of cost per employee to a company is benefits. So work half-time and the breakeven to the company is probably something like 1/3 pay if you get full-time benefits.

2.) The above doesn't even count that there are a lot of other overheads (management, coordination/meetings/collaboration) to having more people doing the same work.

3.) It depends what part-time means. Many of us might be OK with 4-day workweeks or shorter days--though to some degree those may be possible in practice today with the appropriate workload and degree of synchronicity. However, if your preference is to take month+ blocks of time off on a regular basis, that's much more difficult to accommodate. (And, if you unplug during those times you lose a lot of context. Earlier in my career, I did take month long vacations now and then but it's hard to norm as a regular thing for lots of good practical reasons.)
Having principles is considered by some to be an upside.
yes they have, and it is not being met very warmly by those that understand what pluton will enable.
I agree that someone working fewer days per week might be hard to fit into a full-time team culture, but someone working fewer hours per day ought to be pretty easy. For the "fewer hours per day" case, it's just like working across different time zones, which many companies are already well-acclimated to doing -- e.g. you need to schedule all your meetings with this person in the morning because their 5pm is at our 11am.

This only applies to the (dead) Windows RT and Windows Phone/10 Mobile platforms.

Windows on Arm64 devices are regular Windows desktop devices, just running on a different CPU architecture. As such, they share the same security policies.

You can disable UEFI Secure Boot just fine on a Surface Pro X, and use custom keys there too. This also applies for devices from other OEMs.

Also, if the system you've built is really usable for trading, is it not more profitable to simply use it internally and trade your own capital? Have you tried to do that?
To add to the logistical supply chain issues, the fleet of Anotov aircraft (including the AN-125 and AN-225) play a crucial role in the fulfilling a range global logistical needs, but the factory in Ukraine is reportedly damaged, leading to expected impacts to their serviceability and spare parts manufacture.

This will almost certainly have flow-on impacts to the broader shipping and commercial airline market, and further screw up delivery of your monitor’s user manuals.
Proton doesn't do XBox.
The solution is very simple: static linking.

Dynamic linking should be completely abolished. This would also solve the "package manger problem" immediately because there will be no dependencies.
I agree and I don't care if it's RT or ISIS or China or the Westboro Baptist Church. But the past two years have made it clear that all those lofty, lapidary ideals upon which our so-called free societies are supposedly grounded can be disposed of without the slightest reluctance, so this is no surprise, certainly not from the EU, always busy banning, mandating, regulating and fining everything in its path.
Russia is the legitimate successor state of the Soviet Union. The article implies that the correct procedure for succession was not followed, but this is not true. When a country splits up, as the USSR did, the legal precedent is for all of the resulting states to come to an agreement on succession. They did, recognizing Russia as the successor. Yugoslavia followed the same procedure, although they came to a more complex agreement with multiple successors.
Yes, this gets into the static versus dynamic library debate.

There's one school of thought that says that a technically competent organization really should be able to recompile any of the code it runs, on demand. If you can't do that, you are missing source code or you don't know how to build it, and that's bad. It's not really your code, is it?

That's Google's primary approach, internally, though there are many exceptions. It fits in well with an open source approach. The Go language's toolchain uses static linking as a result of this philosophy.

But most people don't belong to an organization with that level of self-determination. Few people run Gentoo. We mostly run code we didn't compile ourselves, and if we're lucky there is a good source of security updates.

But there's still a question of whether you really need dynamic linking, or is having standard data formats between different processes enough? When you do upgrades, do you really need to replace DLL's or is replacing entire statically linked binaries good enough?

If replacing entire binaries is your unit of granularity for upgrades, this leads to using something like protobufs to support incremental evolution. Instead of calling a DLL, you start a helper process and communicate with it using protobufs. The helper binary can be replaced, so that part of the system can be upgraded independently.

None of this really solves the AST problem. I don't think there are many development tools that would still work if the parser and AST were in a DLL and you replaced them? I guess it would help with minor fixes and cosmetic changes. The approach you tried with protobufs seems interesting but how awkward was it?
In African continents IVM is over the counter. In accordance to recommended dosing, there seem to be many broadly beneficial effects versus no harmful effects.

Sending money between two wallets you own creates transaction volume not trade volume. The latter comes from orders matching against each other on an exchange and requires paying the exchange fees so it is not as easy to fake (you need the exchange itself to be in on it, or they take all your money in fees).
I think this is the wrong way to be looking at it.

WINE is an open-source project that explicitly wants to run as much Windows software as accurately as possible on non-Windows systems. If something's broken, anyone can fix it.

This isn't true for the proprietary software that is Windows and C&C, albeit C&C Remastered is partially source-available now, so that could improve matters somewhat.
> the 3D animated Inner Life of the Cell[1] showing these proteins physically walking

Reality is even more interesting. The animation regrettably prioritizes "art" over accuracy and education/misconceptions. Between one "step" and the next, the kinesin "legs" are violently flailing around, and the payload has time to explore the entire configuration space reachable given the tether. Think not of a donkey towing a barge, but of a mouse, its tail tied to a balloon, clinging to a wire, in a hurricane! The nanoscale atomic mosh pit from hell. And IIRC, the "steps" are often backward - forward is merely net more frequent. "Art"... basically "video frames" have been highly selected to tell a bogus narrative, without even a brief hint of a reality check. It's like editing a video of some politician jogging to show unmoving legs and divine levitation. Nanoscale reality is much more fun.
One of his lectures centered around what to do once you are finished writing the book. And it was to do your best to make changes to make it commercially viable.

> Chief Executive Tim Cook's pay in 2021 was 1,447 times that of the average Apple employee, a company filing on Jan. 7 showed, fuelled by stock awards that helped him earn a total of $98.7 million.

They measure the average salary for such a large company? This number seems absolutely pointless to me.
>Nowadays it's "let people's salaries and career growth stagnate if they choose to stay internal", yet complain when they jump ship to another company that's willing to pay more. And at the same time contribute to the problem by being very willing to hire external candidates at multiples of people from inside, while putting up unreasonable bars for promotion from within.

such cross-pollination improves overall state of the industry (in particular it optimizes for efficient use of programmers time - burning that time on low productive unnecessary tasks can be done only by either very rich companies or by companies who hire cheap barrel bottom) and results in development of better technical talent at higher wages. As direct participants and beneficiaries we should celebrate it.

Just look at the alternative like say lawyers - you have to suck up to your higher-ups for many years before getting any way ahead.

Don't worry your head with the technical challenges surrounding nuclear tech. There are real scientists working on it, coming up with newer and better designs, not to mention the move to modular reactors which will further increase the reliability of individual modules (parts) and drive down costs.

Reality is such that the atom is the most potent energy source. If you don't like that, turn to medical help, because sure as hell Reality won't magically align with your desires.

And it's tragic beyond belief what has happened in Chernobyl, but that is on those idiotic communists and their total incompetence and arrogance. On this i can agree - some people are simply too stupid and should be limited to only solar cells and wind turbines.

This would be my first answer also. It’s traditionally been considered to be a highly (or the most) secure OS because of their focus on security. That means if you stay within their ecosystem you are unlikely to ever have to worry about zero days.

But it depends on what you want to do and what your threat model looks like.

As others has written, knowing your system is probably more important as I believe (mis)configuration is one of the more common ways to get hacked. And even the most secure OS won’t help you if you accidentally expose your elastic cluster to the internet.

To wrap, I’d say the best thing you can do to secure yourself is “defence in depth”. Use a locked down OS. Add a firewall (or two if one is a soft one which can be bypassed or disabled accidentally). Don’t bind services to internet interfaces unless you want it. Ensure you have authentication enables. Enable auto-updates for anything exposed.

If you do this you don’t have to worry about picking the most secure OS.

In accounting terms, if they already recognized the asset at x value, or paid x amount for it, any amount less than x is considered a loss.

Depending on what goes on here market wise before they can exit their ownership stake (if they haven’t already!) is what will decide how big a loss this is.

I'm not sure I'd agree that the Mac toolbox is primitive. Reflowing forms to reflect a resizable window wasn't a common technique at the time; Macs had a predictable screen size and DPI. Abstracting the layout of a form from code via a resource was a very forward-thinking approach for the day. Among other advantages, fiddling with ResEdit was very empowering for users who might not even have access to the source code of an application!

As a Hungarian I see that all tiny symbolic international gestures against my official president (Viktor Orban, a soft dictator for the last 12 years, who just visited Putin a few weeks ago) helps us to finally increase the chances of unseating him.

At the same time Putin still has nuclear weapons, so the risks of kicking him out of international organizations is much higher.
Less, if Russia resolves its governmental intemperance first.

The events of the last few days make it at least plausible that Putin's days are numbered. If so, that's very bad in terms of absolute apocalyptic risk, but probably a good thing as measured by expected outcome. The chances of getting a stable democracy in the next decade might be, I dunno, 40% or greater (and those of dying in a nuclear fireball surely under 1%, right?). So as geopolitics it's probably a mistake, but as investment decisionmaking I think it makes sense.
Putin is not coming, so why do you presume Zalensky is going to show up in person?
Investors often have to approve in an up or down vote executive compensation. Certainly that's the case here. Sure, they could also bring up other issues, but there is no "make Apple a good place to grow your career" vote they can participate in.
It's like a loss you would make if you bought a stock for $20 and sold it for $18. Someone else buys it for $18 and it might go up or down from there. Rosneft got their money back when they initially sold the stock to the market.

I think BP is a UK company and I'm not that familiar with the specifics of their accounting system. In the disclosure they say they considered that they had "significant influence" which is an IFRS accounting term. That would mean (as simply as I can explain it) that the initial purchase is recorded at cost with their share of Rosnefts profits and dividends recorded against that holding (along with a large bundle of other accounting details).
