This is because the russian central bank is buying rubels for dollar and other currencies. European Union tries to prevent that by freezing the foreign reserves. We will see how this will play out and when and if they burn throu their pile of dollars.

But this exchange rate has become pretty meaningless. Hardly anybody is either willing or allowed to give you USD for your RUB. If you own russian stock you are currently unable to sell it for rubels anyway. This currency is on it's way to non-convertible status.
Space travel and the space industry generally speaking play the role of a new religion for the technical middle-classes that are not old-time religious anymore (for lack of a better expression). As such it's doing a pretty good job.

This new insistence on "saving the planet" might replace it, especially as it also comes with apparent "technical demands" (should we choose hydrogen? how could we make nuclear faster to build and cheaper? fusion!!) that play right in the hands of the technical middle-class, but imo there's still an open battle between the two world-views. I slightly wish for the "space travel" new theology to have the upper hand, but that's just a personal preference of mine.
> Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram, Briar doesn’t rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the internet’s down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the internet’s up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.

Just from a quick scan of the RFC: this seems to generate the encrypted session key directly from the public key of the recipient somehow. This also seems to be an attempt to standardize generating the public/secret keypair from something like a passphrase.

Traditionally you generate a random session key and then encrypt it using the public key of the recipient. The public/secret keypair is generated standalone where you optionally encrypt the secret bit of the keypair separately with a passphrase.

Not yet sure how this scheme would work in practice and what the advantage is...

NO, for two reasons. I eat mostly salmon and sardines, and some small mackerel only. If you look up fish low in mercury there are a ton of links.

But secondly, they found that the nutrients, mainly selenium, in the fish actually help the body remove mercury through the thioredoxin system, so the worry might be exaggerated. I do not eat fish everyday as well, I eat shellfish on the off days and I fast. Oysters are really high in selenium.

I meant I was starving in that I always felt hungry, not that I was starving my self. I was never satiated so I over ate.

Everyone recommends The Manager's Path, but I don't think it's a good book to explain HOW to become a manager. The book's goal is to explain the career path of a manager from tech lead to CTO.

My #1 recommendation these days is "Become an Effective Software Engineering Manager" by Jamies Stanier. This book explains how to approach the work a manager is involved in and what you can expect from the day to day. Planning, hard conversations, performance reviews etc.

Also, look for general management books. Leadership is something all humans do – software management is about managing creative people. Some other books I recommend are:

• Creativity, Inc by Ed Matmull
• Crucial Conversation
• Team of Teams

For email newsletters, I recommend Software Lead Weekly (https://softwareleadweekly.com/) and Better Allies (https://betterallies.com/more-content/).

Lastly, I also write a blog called Build the Stage (https://www.buildthestage.com) about managing SWEs. I've got posts about performance reviews, team meetings, how to give feedback, etc. It'll help you out.

Agreed. This is sheer brilliance.

Technical work like this borders on art.

It is inspiring in the traditional sense of the word, not in the Ted Talks sense of the word, as in it inspires me to blow the dust off old ideas I've had and get working on them and to set the quality bar high for myself.
Linux is not macOS - you can patch/install security fix without forced UI redesign and configurability deprivation.
Two towers are not independent of neural networks. Most two tower models I encounter are neural networks for each tower with optionally a mixing towering/layer after the two. And sometimes it's not two but even more towers depending on how your features are grouped.

I would consider two towers pretty much a necessity for large corpus retrieval as step 1 in any rec system with many items and many requests. Stage 2 or later models can be heavier and be whatever you like.

That's true. There are polling agencies who purport ti be able to handle the logistics of polling Russians. They showed Putin's approval (pre invasion) at just over 50%, which sounds plausible. The fact that it's not Crazy high made me think maybe they are getting real feedback.
I'll have you know many "rust guys" like myself are willing to program with whatever we have to. My career has involved quite a bit of C, & I'll agree its simplicity is alluring. But damn if people don't come up with more & more creative ways to cause segfaults
That is shocking, and seems enough to create a run on the bank on its own.
Arabic also has dual cases.

A strange thing I've found is that while ICU has all kinds of support for proper localization of plurals if you have a number in your UI, if there's no number then you still have to write `if (n == 1) singular else plural;`. Is that really serving people who want a dual/few/many distinction?

Well they didn't have much choice here. MediaTek, Samsung, and the rest are equally bad. The ARM SoC market is flooded with chips designed to have the shortest SW support lifespan possible.

My take is this: after Chernobyl, the risk was talked down by proponents as "happened because communism". And the other side got even more entrenched in their positions. Then Fukushima happened and "because communism" proponents suddenly stood without pants.

Do you realise the reasons they did so before the sanctions? The same reasons apply. The possibility of sanctions has always existed and it's possibly pleasing to many countries that the bar for sanctions seems to be set at "invading another country".
Link to the report? It's annoying that the BBC keeps quoting from the report but doesn't even name it. The IPCC publishes reports constantly, which one are we talking about?
> In Alaska, besides the Native American tribes ("Indians")

A twist on this is that even though Native American sounds more correct (doesn't imply being from India, is longer and bureaucratic), they'd actually rather be called Indians. It helps to claim it's short for Indigenous.

I think you're actually testing with bash (and included tools) there.

Depends on the diagnosis!

Two blog posts: [1] from Rands on skill vs will.

And [2], from Roy Rapoport on a five-step process for dealing with problems.

In both cases, it’s not enough to say you “don’t trust” your team. You have to do the work to diagnose WHY things aren’t working the way you want - do they see there’s a problem? Do they want to fix it? Do they have the skills?

Trying to fix a problem you can’t diagnose is going to be very hard.

This effectively sums up the difficulty in targeting Linux. The concept of any sort of consistency and reliability is immediately dropped. Nothing will ever work the same on two different Linux computers and there's no way to tell if it would, because even compatibility branding is an assault on freedom itself.
As a small dev team we have a workflow to rapidly author tests integrating our internal and external graphql + rest APIs.

These tests can be run, tweaked and parameterized in various environments from the GUI, and then imported into our CI system with Newman. Its a low code approach that's saving us time so I'm grateful of the features we are getting (for free) with Postman.
From then on 100% of your hiring chances are dependent on your resume and interview performance

Comparing the resume to interview performance is misleading. Interview performance has far more impact than your resume does once you've gotten to the point of talking to actual humans at the hiring company. To illustrate my point: no company would hire someone with perfect qualifications on paper if they were, for example, abrasive or rude in their recruiter calls.

Interview performance is a big deal, and lots of devs don't like to admit this because of how uncomfortable it is. It truly is "performance": you are putting yourself on display for prospective coworkers, and being judged on that display. Nobody likes that feeling.

It's one of the big clashes between tech's meritocracy narrative and the day-to-day realities of workplace culture. It's a persistent belief among tech workers that "if I'm technically good enough or exceptional, anyone will accept me as a coworker". If you're being evaluated by an interview panel, and that panel is composed of people who have to work with you every day, this belief just ain't so.
> A 16:9 screen is wider than it is tall, so if you’re programming that means fewer lines of code visible at a time.

A 16:10 screen is also wider than it is tall.

I'm not sure if I'm being trolled.

Number of usefully displayable lines is not defined by the x:y ratio.

Further, any half-way decent 16:9 monitor can, in a matter of moments, become a 9:16 monitor.

EDIT: I am aware we're talking about a laptop display, so orientation isn't flippable - but OTOH if you're trying to develop code on a 13" monitor at 1200 pixels high - your problem is not a ratio one.
Indeed. I suspect that Putin thought he'd get away with this without a response because he did the previous dozen or so times. Including the previous invasion of Ukraine. Bit of a failure to indicate what was actually a red line.
PQQ is safe and supposedly beneficial as a supplement: https://examine.com/supplements/pyrroloquinoline-quinone/

The fundamental problem is the refusal to publish driver source. Nvidia is one of the last companies on earth I'd expect to do that.
There were reports (hard to verify obviously) over the weekend that places like jewelry stores were busy as people were trying to change their rubles to a hard asset.

Do people who live in Russia keep a lot of money in a bank and/or as rubles, or do they keep it in something like USD/EURO and convert as needed? This drop is obviously extreme, but it's not like the Russian economy was great before.
Yeah, the recovery corresponds to moving the central banks key interest rate from 9.5% to 20% which was apparently sufficient to encourage saving. That's what Bloomberg says on air anyway.
> I'd wager most Russians don't have savings

Russia is not a country of people living on the edge of starvation. They have savings and save up to buy houses like any middle class people.
I feel like this is a very good decision. Coincidentally, I just installed the chess.com iPadOS app and bought a $30/year subscription a few days ago; a really nice service! I will also give chess24.com a try.

Off topic, but I really mis-predicted recent history badly. I thought there was zero chance of Russia invading Ukraine. I feel humbled by my lack of understanding of the world. I have enjoyed visiting Ukraine and Russia (just Siberia) and I wish for peace for everyone living there.
Also kind of nitpicking, the universe is about 13.8 Gy so 7 Gy would be half the age of the universe and not quite double the age of earth (~4.5 Gy).

Also, on the subject of the dichotomy, I'd quite like to actually see the specific details of the plan to end homelessness, costed, with some sort of serious legwork proving that it hasn't been tried and failed before.

As far as I'm aware we've had centuries of rhetoric where people have promised everything from small reforms to big sweeping programs to open revolt and replacing of governments in various well-intentioned attempts to end poverty. So far, none of them have worked.

There is a shortage of evidence that we can end poverty by trading away rich people having interesting toys. There is a surplus of evidence the other way around; the enlightenment was enlightening and has had an outsized impact on achieving the outcomes people want.
First, I am not talking about the metabolism of triglycerides, only the metabolism off PUFA. And can you give me an example of what you mean by "I seem to have trouble processing long chain triglycerides", and what genetic disorder?

But yes, very will known. There are thee enzymes, FADS1, FADS2, and EVOL5 that turn the short chain fatty acids like ALA in flax seed into the DHA you find in fish. The FADS genes are the most studied and polymorphisms in the genes have been linked to different cultures and therefor the reliance on certain fatty acids.

If I understand this correctly, Binance is taking a huge (monetary) risk by selling BTC for Rubles, which may lose value really quickly as the situation progresses, and who knows..

Accepting Rubles at this point might be more risky than BTC, the latter might be more stable, shockingly.
Are you asking if the app is legit (i.e trustworthy and not a honey-pot) or are you asking if the information it has been removed is legit?

Ah I see. Yes, I diverge there too. I don't think anyone thinks that the risk of nuclera war is overblown either. And I said so in my comment.

The specific thing OP was talking about that I think people agree with is,

> NATO should execute it in the guise of a peacekeeping no-fly zone over Ukraine.

Generals have called for No-Fly Zones, https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/02/27/breedlove-nato-commande...

I don't think anyone wants NATO and Russian forces to fight one another. At least, not officially.
For example:

Given the the EU did remove all of Russian from SWIFT. A lot of these replies are looking very speculative and a bit silly -- simply imagining convoluted explanations where are none like "kicking Russia out of Swift will hurt Europe more".

> Ukraine can barely get people out much less weapons in

There's a traffic jam of refugees at the border, but the roads, railways and airports are still there and in Ukranian control? I don't see what obstacle there is.
What about literally everyone else? You are only making a case for teachers, who else should we be paying to stay home?

Democrats do with teachers what republicans do with cops. This strange do no wrong hero worship. I don't get it. Looking at our stats globally (reading and math scores/police brutality rates) neither deserve praise.
I wonder, what happens with all that captured equipment? I see a lot of videos of seemingly undamaged anti-air systems, artillery, tanks.. can Ukrainians readily use them or there are some locks etc. that prohibits it?
If OP meant "they have neither, in the context of being questioned by military police", then I don't think that's a difference between English law and American law, it's a difference between the laws that apply to civilians and the laws that (additionally) apply to members of the armed forces.
I suspect the Chinese government would like to conquer Taiwan, especially if they could do so as part of a multi-front world war in which they weren't the one who shot Archduke Ferdinand. No matter which way it turns out, they'd prefer that history remember the whole conflagration as something started by Russia rather than by China.

Putin is definitely getting a holiday card from Xi this year.
Do you have a source for that or do you just suspect that's what they're doing? A lot of people predicted they would do that, but the only move I've heard is the doubling of the interest rate [1].
