It looks like the plane used to move some EUV equipment may be damaged or destroyed, so maintain the hope! The supply problem could continue.

Of course, this is the least important thing to move in that plane and probably the easiest to find alternate transportation for.
As a cofounder of a very small company (8 FT, 2 part-time, 2-10 contractors varying by season), but one with a longer life than many startups newer than us (10+ years since our first revenue), I have been trying to normalize long-term part-time hires in all critical roles for some time now at our org.

Yet, it is hard to overcome the cultural energy around the implications "part time = low impact", "part time = temporary", "part time = mercenary", "part time = lazy", "part time = not passionate". This sentiment arises from colleagues, investors, leadership, customers, and hell, the part time employee themselves at times (some kind of internalized contempt for wanting/needing/preferring to go part time).

My partner just got their role converted to part-time starting March, after consciously coming to the conclusion that it was the only healthy way to remain in their career, despite not having children. They still processing to get over the feeling of guilt and of being less-than somehow for not being okay with handing over their full cognitive capacity and waking hours, especially without being an "accepted exception", ie someone with kids, being a caretaker, or a person with a (visible) disability.

I want to live in a world where people can passionately work on something as part of a team, long-term, while being fairly compensated for that work, for less than 30 hours a week. If possible, I myself want to have that level of involvement even as a cofounder or leader of a business/project/organization so I can give my diverse passions the attention they deserve, without it "being weird" to my cofounders or other teammates.
Sorry, that should be LHV.
confidence is self reinforcing, that's why it's impossible today. Eventually, the replacement may earn the confidence, but it's not today.

The only problem is, how much risk are Apple ready to assume for that decision?
Since Windows is going to be irrelevant anyway (run everything in a browser, stream everything 'heavy', now the local OS is just a 'viewer'), and most 'connected' users on the planet are using a phone and whole generations grow up only ever using a phone for media/games/productivity and never touching a laptop/pc, all this will do is make Windows a niche.

Coreboot might not be perfect, but until there is enough powerful hardware (like ARM and RISC-V that isn't just multi-core but also has enough single-threaded performance) it's not like you're going to be able to run free and libre firmware on reasonable hardware (and no, pre-CSME hardware and pre-FSP hardware is not reasonable, it's just old at this point).

I hope POWER and ARM and later on RISC-V are getting powerful enough to not have to trust a CSME or FSP in the long run, but I doubt it. Even just having a PAVP DRM is something that is pushed by various corporate legal departments so hard that all the hardware that ends up in consumer land is going to be hobbled one way or another.

I'm afraid we'll end up in a world where you can get that libre and free stack on high performance hardware, but won't get access to all the IP, including IP cores for embedded FPGAs and IP like streaming media including audio, video and games.
Right. Those all sound like great reform proposals. Particularly I feel like there is too little police training in this country.

> Programming language design is at the same time the most interesting technical challenge you can take on, while at the same time being for the most part an utter waste of time.

Yeah that's a hard disagree for me dawg.

But when you write a programming language understand that you're writing it for yourself, so that you can look at other programming languages and understand the tradeoffs.

Just the process of going through "holy shit, this thing I'd like to build is going to be so much harder than I thought" is useful. Particularly if you come to understand that some things you want are at odds with each other and you can't build it the way you thought you could. Then you can look at other languages and understand that to have feature A they had to give up feature B.

Give up pretty quickly on things once you start to get the feel that they're pretty intractable and you start to hate thinking about them. If you enjoy something in particular then jump down the rabbit hole. Understand that you're going to wind up with something only 10% done that nobody will use.

Then maybe when you learn a new programming language go write your language in the new language to learn it. Wash, rinse, repeat to learn new languages. Get good at rewriting your toy language.

> Your db migrations may support updates from #1 to #99 but your OS does not directly support updates of MySQL 5 to MySQL 8 with issues.

That's just the thing - more software out there should have a clear separation between the files needed to run it (binaries, other libraries), its configuration (either files, environment variables or a mix of both) and the data that's generated by it.

The binaries and libraries can easily have breaking changes and be incompatible with one another (essentially treat them as a blob that fits together, though dynamic linking muddies this). The configuration can also change, though it should be documented and the binaries should output warnings in the logs in such cases (like GitLab actually already does!). The data should have extra care taken to make it compatible between most versions, with at least forwards only migrations available in all other cases (since backwards compatible migrations are just too hard to do in practice).

Alas, i don't install most software on my servers anymore, merely Docker (or Podman, basically any OCI compatible technology) containers with specific volumes or bind mounts for the persistent data. GitLab is pretty good in this regard with its Omnibus install, though there are certainly a few problems with it if you try to do too many updates or have a non-standard configuration.

I actually wrote more about it and why i just migrated away from GitLab to Gitea, Sonatype Nexus and Drone CI on my blog: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/goodbye-gitlab-hello-gitea-...

Of course, i'll still use GitLab in my company because there it's someone else's job to keep it running with a hopefully appropriate amount of resources to keep it that way with minimal downtime and all the relevant updates. But at the same time, for certain circumstances (like my memory constrained homelab setup), it makes sense to look into multiple lightweight integrated solutions.

You can actually find more information about what broke for me while doing updates in particular, seemingly something cgroups related with gitaly related stuff not having the write permissions needed inside of the container, which later lead to the embedded PostgreSQL failing catastrophically. In comparison, right now i just have Gitea for similar goals which is a single binary that uses an SQLite database, as well as the other aforementioned tools for CI and storage of artefacts, which are similarly decoupled.

It's probably all about constraints, drawbacks and finding what works for you best!

I've worked with part time developers. Sometimes it works really well, sometimes it doesn't.

If someone wants to work part time with you and don't have any other contracts, they rarely want to do work during predictable hours. If they get blocked outside of business hours, it's ideal if you have someone who can unblock them when they happen to be working. Or you could also work out on some predetermined working hours.
there is simply no information available on what will happen to the shares, so your insistence is irritating. If the shares were dissolved, the other owners (such as the Russian government) would end up with a larger stake.

Having $2 billion in assets, invested at the historic average of 7% after inflation, yields $14 million every year. The median household income is about $68k per year. Therefore, the passive income just from having $2 billion of assets comes out to about the full income of 2000 households.

That's the only way I've come up with to visualize massive wealth, as it is so far beyond anything I have experience with. That the closest visualization is the size of a town that could be entirely devoted in perpetuity to the whims of the person with that wealth.

IKEA doesn’t trick you into buying more stuff; it organizes its stuff to trigger compulsive buyers to buy more stuff that they don’t need. IKEA is actually quite good about providing inventory locations and stock; you can shop online and pre-plan your entire run before you set foot in the store.

If they were really committed to dark-patterning your shopping experience, they would make inventory harder to find and play games with their pricing (like what Best Buy does for expensive phones, i.e. display the per-month price of the phone with its total amount underneath it).
During covid I stepped back to 40% work thanks to government support. We were allowed to work with something else the rest of the time and I called the local home care unit to ask if they wanted help. Since then I have been doing part time work there up to 60% to cover for all the sick workers. I'm thinking of continuing this after the pandemic, there is a big mental difference between the jobs which does wonders for stress relieve. Both are stressy but completely different ways.
As you can buy/sell currencies back and forth between each o other--and <$10M isn't going to move the market horribly if you spend a day or two doing it--the mental model of only doing this analysis because the money happened to be collected in a volatile currency is flawed: the decision to hold on to a volatile currency is equivalent to the decision to buy that currency as you "may as well have" just sold it and re-evaluated your position.

In a way you answered your own question: the 2% comes to not have to spend a lot of fixed money in a one blow, like the case here with 100B.Instead you spend constantly and improve, after all defence is an investment and that investment is not lost even if you don't have any wars.(unless you spend on active training and decades pass w/o wars)

Referencing my previous post with the link for the politics of 2%, there are a lot of things Germany frankly is really behind when it comes to military: Poland for example has stronger military relatively speaking if you compare the manpower, reserves, total population and military hardware.

The money indeed goes to the mil. industrial complex which is undesirable,that's why i'm skeptical about this, but at the same time: do you take the chances when a nutjob like Putin keeps daring you? There's no good answer, only compromise

I don't want to sound like a broken clock, but Germany could have used the investments of NS2 into energy independence(more nuclear, electric,etc),NATO contribution, or infrastructure.Socialistic policies are also good, but there's higher volatility in terms of what you get, and if you want to actually put socialistic policies in practice, follow the hungarian long-term model, not welfare-state for everyone: Merkel probably learned this the hard way, and the barely-not-recession numbers show that.
> They might not care?

It is impossible.

I know Russians very deep, they are not demons.
Russian outlook, as I know, is very close to just ordinary beggars, some are criminal, but not many.

So most of them have not strong moral values, but they don't want to be wounded or die.
So they will not care too much, if they just need to press button or "just attach box to pipe in concentration camp".

And we also know, that Russian army is in reality not high tech army, most their weapons are based on 1960th technologies, no electronic computers at all, paper maps, old analogue radio, etc, so their technologies cannot work without people (US have large number of modern automatic weapons).

And even before invasion, we know about very low morale in Russian army, but if Russian soldiers will conclude, that nobody will care wounded, they will surrender just after see Ukrainians without any shoot.
For a long time I thought I wanted a macro assembler + theorem prover instead of Rust and now I know there is such a thing.
Fwiw, Griffiths QM provides an appendix with all the linear algebra you need to get through the book. People will definitely get more going in knowing about vector spaces but it’s not strictly necessary as long as you start in the appendix.
Because people without such genes have to exercise more or take costly drugs or supplements to get their bodies to do the same thing.
In accounting terms, you might consider the stake to have been bought for 25 billion at the time, but now it's being considered worthless (or maybe even a liability) by BP, so something of no (dollar) value is being given to Russia. The loss in value might be considered to have occurred as a result of recent events.

Edit: note that I have no idea of the value myself. I'm just saying that if you were to accept BP's view, then they're not necessarily giving Russia a gift of any kind.

I currently have to deal with DI at work. It's a pain. When everything works, it's nice to be able to just ask for something and have it with no extra work, but good luck when things go wrong. If the DI library throws an exception, good luck figuring out what you actually need to do to resolve it. Often it's because there's a cycle in the dependency graph, but the exceptions never give you any information about what the graph looks like. It also makes it stupidly hard to track down the sources of bugs. Figuring out what classes are being used to satisfy the dozen interfaces your class asks for requires either inspecting variables in the debugger or an annoying amount of digging.
> There's nothing about electric car propulsion that requires "high end semiconductors".

Fundamentally, no, but that doesn't mean that these cars have been designed with chip availability in mind, so at least one of the components in the cars relies on chips that are not in supply. It's not a fundamental requirement but due to how they are being built. The article is still wrong though, namely because there is nothing special about electric cars. For ICE cars, there are supply chain issues too.
100% agree… the history of technology is, in some ways, the history of more and more precise engineering. Bonus - Winchester reads the audiobook himself and he’s everything you’d want in a wise and worldly old British guy
> I've encountered teams that use patterns like MVVM and VIPER, simply because they are designed to break projects into discrete components, so larger teams can work on them.

Yes, I've seen this kind of thing happen, too. Project complexity grows to justify the size of the team, not the other way around. A project that should take two good developers three months, gets assigned to a team of 40. That team has eng managers and eng manager managers and has to deal with all that communication and organizational bandwidth. We have all these people, so some of them must do core business logic, some of them will integrate 3rd party frameworks, some will do frontend/ui. And we need to take design time to draw the lines between these modules so nobody is stepping on anyone else's work. And we have to have stable APIs between all these, so we need an API design. Also, we need robust continuous integration and test frameworks because there are so many people committing, so we'll need to designate at least one, maybe multiple build engineers. And thanks to the tech lead / architect, we have many layers of abstraction, so the project can be mentally understood by 40 people. We also need to serialize and deserialize JSON between each layer, so that each could in theory be reused in a different project. Oh, and because of this complexity it's going to take the team ten months. A year and a half later, this massive CRUD app is released!

Meanwhile, two skilled engineers could have just sat together and developed that same CRUD app without all the complexity and layers of abstraction.
No, it sounds like we’re not paying them enough if we can’t distract them from their massive fortune!

> your temperature will rise up a lot, so you may sweat a lot and then get cold fast again in your wet clothing

Tangentially: You can avoid this problem with the proper materials: Don't wear cotton in these situations - it is worse than nothing if damp; it chills you. Wear breathable materials that insulate when wet and dry quickly. Wool is probably best, and then 'fleece', which is effectively synthetic wool. Down (e.g., from geese) is even better but if it gets wet, it clumps up into useless balls; however, I've never seen it do that from perspiration, only from external water sources (rain, falling in a river, etc.). Synthetic down can be very warm and still insulates when wet; I suspect it's warmer per liter or per gram than wool, but I'm not sure.

Also, wear a wind-proof outer shell. Preventing the convection of wind does as much as anything to keep you warm.
