> As an aside, maybe, fighting a physical invasion with harsh words, wagging fingers, and paper thin "we won't talk to you any more" restrictions isn't the answer?

First, Ukraine is fighting a physical invasion into their territory with their army. The rest of NATO or Europe is not under attack and not at war with Russia. That isn't harsh words.

Second, this is an oversimplification to the point of ignorance. How long would you last if access to a bank was denied? How long do you think wherever you live would be okay?
Those don’t seem to sell well either-at least they’ve been available for purchase much longer and easier than the other models. Could be for a headset though.
Rationally speaking it's also an economic story.
This is exactly what I was thinking. If the video processor was in a headset, this would basically mean that you could get better ergonomics than a laptop while remote and your work would be private. you could work outside with no glare, you could work on confidential stuff on an airplane, and, you are suddenly given the possibility of endless monitor.

No, it doesn't. By my reading, it obliges the signatories to respect Ukrainian sovereignty, but not defend it. Our only defense obligation is to seek UN Security Council action. But, Russia is a permanent member, so that's not going to materially change anything.
Quora has a super-powered anonymity feature designed to be truly private. No court order can get information that doesn't exist.

It was used primarily for harassment. They kept defending it on the grounds of somebody needing information and absolute secrecy, but the instances of that were somewhere between negligible and nonexistent. It also meant that they couldn't be blocked, because there was no account associated with it. Harassers could return with impunity.

People complained for years, and they finally got rid of it. (For questions, which get broad distribution. Anonymous answers are still allowed.)

At the same time they relaxed account requirements, so pseudonymous accounts are allowed. They're so relaxed that there are some abusers, but even the small overhead of creating an account has dramatically reduced the incidence of abuse.
President of Ukraine call all European citizens for help to defend Ukraine and Europe:

> Every European in his capital can already come to our Embassy and offer his help: demand from your governments that Ukraine receives more financial and military assistance. Because this help is help to you, help to Europe. By doing so you help yourself.[0]

> If you are in Europe and you have military experience and can't look at the indecisiveness of your politicians, then you can come to our country and defend Europe with us, where it's really important now.[1]

Would you be okay with Patreon funding terrorists? I mean we can play this game of what is morally correct and what is right and wrong for ages, but in the end it's safer to not get involved at all.

I think this don't really work as a combo box on firefox, more like auto complete.

It is some what a replacement on chrome, because chrome decide to show it with arrow point to bottom.

And in both firefox and chrome. It don't even have a indicator display by default to tell you "you are supposed to select it, not type it" or "Type yourself is invalid, you need to use predefined options".
Yes.

I wonder if this is about education.

Essentially I think Apple have realised their new developer pipe is drying up; the devices are too expensive for hobbyists and they are vastly too expensive for almost all schools on earth.

The Pi 400 is a wholly credible device in those markets; it solves a lot of the practicality issues of the earlier machines.

A device with even an old style A14 or the M1 in an M2 future, tucked inside a keyboard, could be made viable for this market, I think, and it's seemed obvious to me for some time that the only reason Apple don't make the Apple TV into a general purpose education computing device is that they don't care about the market.

If they've started to care about that market again, it's a good thing.

>> Any source? These figures seem absurdly high, and I say that as a former resident of NYC in the 90s.

Also, wasn't violent crime notoriously high during that period? For instance, my understanding was Times Square used to be gritty and a little dangerous, then Giuliani turned it into a Disneyland in the 90s.
> then maybe you will understand a bit better why the likes of Patreon cutting off support for the defenders is effectively taking sides.

It obviously affects the conflict; there's really no option not to play for them. I just honestly think that "it's for the right side" is a really bad justification to directly fund weapons. There are better ones in this case, no doubt, but the one the initial comment I replied to made wasn't one.

And I can also see why they don't want to start doing so; once they do, they are either in a position to fund less clear-cut wars or to decide which side in a war is right and both are positions they really don't want to be in. So it's not quite true that it costs them nothing to support the Ukraine (even though, just to be clear, we're in agreement that it would have been the right thing).

> they just made it to my shitlist, not a cent through their company, ever.

Well, they're on mine, too, so no argument here.
There is war in the Ukraine for 8 years now. 14k deaths, including many civilians. Plus a lot of human right violations from the Ukraine government.

> russian fascist scourge

Wait, the Russians are Fascist now? When did that happen?
The credit card issuers have lots of rules and enforce them only on merchants and professors. The result is we get mad at Patreon when they get skittish about rules visa and Mastercard expect them to follow.
I see significant differences between now and a time before the whole world was wired together. Being able to sit at your desk and casually click fund a war that you are watching in real-time on Twitter and cheering on with memes on Reddit is dystopian in my mind.

I see crowdsourcing as being a distinctly modern phenomena enabled by the internet. I don't see it as being the same as historical methods of collecting monies from the populace. Are taxes often referred to as 'crowdsource'? No, and that's because there is a nuance.

I didn't need to include that to prove my point. When faced with the same decision, I'm willing to bet that most people would make the same decisions. You have no idea about the employee's financial situations or their political stances. Saying fuck them for not doing something is irrational and ignoring all context. I get the sentiment but the language is inflammatory.
Russia has huge trade surplus and the solution seems to prevent Russia from spending money so that its trade surplus and currency reserves are even greater.

Something is off with that tactic, unless it expects Russian economy to crash via integer overflow.
> for JetBrains this could mean losing contracts with other (pro-government) Russian companies, house searches for their own employees and executives and targeted “investigation” campaigns

This can be true in many countries. Supporting people like Julian Assange, anti-colonial struggles for Kurdistan/Palestine, or opposing your State in any other way can get you in a lot of legal and para-legal trouble. All the more reason to be supportive of people and organizations taking a stand, wherever they are.
So we got it wrong with the sanctions then. We should actually be providing economic stimulus to Russia right now
in 2008. and in 2014. and in 2022.

Show HN: Cloning a musical instrument from 16 seconds of audio
In 2020, Magenta released DDSP [1], a machine learning algorithm / python library which made it possible to generate good sounding instrument synthesizers from about 6-10 minutes of data. While working with DDSP for a project, we realised how
it was actually quite hard to find 6-10 minute of clean recordings of monophonic instruments.

In this project, we have combined the DDSP architecture with a domain adaptation technique from speech synthesis [2]. This domain adaptation technique works by pre-training our model on many different recordings from the Solos dataset [3] first and then fine-tuning parts of the model to the new recording. This allows us to produce decent sounding instrument synthesisers from as little as 16 seconds of target audio instead of 6-10 minutes.

Assuming "we" is either the US or the entirety of the western world, I'd disagree. Any decision to engage Russia with NATO or NATO-adjacent forces must be lead by the nations of Europe.

There are still other sanctions that can be applied. Removal from the Swift network is probably the nuclear option in terms of financial sanctions. But, Germany and Italy (at least), as of yesterday, were opposed because of the likely impact on their own economies.

Ask HN: How to get a high school internship?
Hello there. I am a high school senior and am interested in computer programming and linux system administration.
Sometimes I like to check the internship section on hiring positions available in the monthly _Who's hiring_ post.

But every internship has certain specifications which usually include (at least) 4th semester of an undergraduate degree, etc. As you may imagine, I am yet to be in that position. I will be starting a CS Engineer Degree in the Fall of 2022, but I would be quite interested in gaining some experience from any Computer Science real workplace worlds.

I am looking for suggestions on how to start looking for these kinds of internships, from what I've been looking online I haven't really found anything relevant. I'd be open for any positions (physically) near Mexico City and/or virtually with international companies or even US! (I am a US citizen if that matters).

I am not (currently) living in the United States. I was born and raised there for four years but all my education has been in Mexico, near Mexico City.

If you'd like some tldr'd CV it's:

- Highschool PrepaTec Toluca - Tec de Monterrey. 2019-2022

- Local Robotics Highschool team. Known as TECBOT [0]. I currently lead the teaching of rookies for the programming area and have been on the team since 2019 (since the end of middle school).

- tecbot github: [4]

- Github: [1] trevcan.

- Self-hosted server website: [2]

- I have a blog @ `/blog`, and a

- git server @ [3]

- I'll be starting a CS engineering degree in the fall of 2022 at Tec de Monterrey Campus Toluca (a.k.a. ITESM, near Mexico City).

- English. Almost native. Latest score: C1 (made less than six months ago).

- Also speak native Spanish.

Assuming they’re a US company, knowingly laundering money to purchase munitions overseas likely violates a number of US laws.
It could be for education, which is a market that Apple has shown a lazy and self-sabotaging disregard for, for almost ten years.

They could be putting hardware as modest as an A14 iPad in there, basically. We know that hardware can run macOS.

Are there not displays with USB-C power buses now?
Given that this existed in the 80s, how can this be patentable? Has anyone read the actual claims of the patent and feel qualified to explain what it is that Apple is claiming is novel and patentable?
Maybe you should focus your ire on the leaders of the countries doing the invading? Taking the opportunity to attack one of the invaded nations allies for not doing enough seems unhelpful to the point of being counterproductive.
Russia can destroy and invade the country. But occupying a place as huge as Ukraine will be hard. Even with a small set of weapons and fighters defending the territory you can make the place way more difficult to control than it would be otherwise.
There should be more visual context in apps
Every day as the situation unfolds I come ever closer to the conclusion that with the benefit of hindsight in retrospect - the West will come to painfully regret their inaction at each crucial point of this conflict.

There’s an apt compound word in Russian - “братоубийцы» that translates to brother-murderers. Russia and Russians, regardless of what their feelings about this disgusting act is - will never wash away that stain. There will forever be monuments to remind people of what they have done.

I am Russian-speaking, and when I was younger as I would travel to Western Ukraine or Baltics on some occasions I would encounter hostile treatment that I found so unfair - I enjoyed visiting there, I liked the places, I had no ill will against the people.

Now I’ve come to viscerally understand exactly what they felt towards me.

I am ashamed to the point of anger.
No, not at all.

The thing I think most law-abiding/normal people don't understand about the types of people in prisons is that they are almost exclusively habitual offenders.

Even in the US, which is heavily punitive instead of rehabilitative, you have to have run-ins with the law a number of times before you are sentenced to serve time, rather than probation or a halfway-house etc.

From my experiences, ~90% of people I saw during my time in jail and prison were coming in and out, constantly being arrested. There's no desire on their part to change, they're a lost cause.

For the tiny handful of people that genuinely do want to have a normal life and not go back to prison, our justice system is awful. No, solitary is not good for that.

You need supportive + rehabilitative programs. They won't solve everything, but for the small number of people who want to get out of the system, they need an honest-to-god out and chance at living.
I look back now at how weird it was going to the store looking for the IBM compatible computers amongst the Amiga, Apple's, Commodores and such.

> Ukraine is not a tiny nation, and Russia is huge.

The US, the most well-funded army in the world for the past generation, hasn't won a war since the end of WW2. Army size and the like does not matter. The Ukranian forces can entrench themselves and maintain a guerilla war for a long time, as long as they have supplies.

I strongly feel like wars are unwinnable. It either ends up in a stalemate and attrition - see the US trying to do a thing in the middle east for two decades only for things to go back the second they leave - or MAD. And the last one hasn't and will hopefully never happen.
Is it possible that it's more about the amount of money rather than just timing?

I imagine that the page recently started receiving way more money than it ever has.

I'm aware that the timing still looks bad and won't change some people's view of the move. I'm not asking for that. Just asking for at least an ounce of nuance.
This does look like a useful tool. Especially since `jq | less` is a very common pattern for me.

Apologies if this might take things a little off-topic. But I can recall seeing "written in Rust" in the titles of quite a few HN posts. Is there any relevance to this? From my perspective, the utility of a given project/product could (or even should) be judged independently of the programming language that it was implemented in.

I think that's probably an unusually high level of commitment to nonviolence.

It's also creates moral dilemmas: allowing someone to be "raped, tortured, and killed" by others is harming that person. All your principle may mean in practice is the innocent are the ones harmed and the guilty are left unharmed.
Yeah... And if they don't, just vote them out. In 3 or 4 or whatever years.

In this case there's no time for that.
Thousands of Russians Are Risking Being Arrested to Protest Putin's Invasion
Good point. MongoDB scales horizontally (add more servers) PostgreSQL scales vertically (get a bigger server) which is the least desirable way to scale, in addition to be being reliant on fewer servers makes it less fault tolerant. MongoDB is also schema-less which is convenient for developers and makes change management easier , but the cost is your app has an undocumented and unrestricted data model that only your core devs can partially explain, and your business analysts absolutely hate anything that isn’t standard SQL. So the story with MongoDB is core app devs still love it, operations is OK with it, and for everyone else you better copy that biz data into something that speaks standard SQL or the analysts will riot.
