Yeah, the site existed before today, but it seems like they hastily put together this "radiation map".

I'm waiting until a reliable source claims the same thing before I believe it.

There have been some people saying that somewhat elevated radiation levels were to be expected from tanks and trucks kicking up dirt in the area, and that it wouldn't be something to be majorly concerned about.
It’s too bad we didn’t get to continue our debate I have since learned a term that I was going to employ: Salami tactics. (Meaning “slice-by-slice”). Apparently it’s from a show “Yes, Prime Minister.”
Author here. You're wrong, as I spent several paragraphs explaining how Play App Signing works and how it's being enforced for new app bundles. The Huawei app repository has a similar approach to Play Store, and to my knowledge Amazon app repository has always been doing this (and even more nasty stuff: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/app-submission/understandi...).
"That makes it a problem of the FAA. The FCC isn't responsible for policing bad receivers."

What do you mean by 'bad' receivers?

Spectrum management, irrespective of country, sets the parameters of every radiocommunication service by notional equipment standards - here that would be the typical intermodulation figures for radar receivers, inter alia.

The FCC and ITU through WARC/WRC - World Radiocommunication Conferences would have been aware of notional equipment standards for radar altimeters at the time the spectrum was allocated (equipment must comply with the standard or it be deemed out of spec - non compliant).

Note: adjacent services must consider interference to their adjacent services, etc. The standards associated with any service can only be deemed old or 'changed' at WRC conferences specifically to avoid the situation we now have here. The real question is 'who fucked up' - i.e.: did not abide by WRC rules (the international treaty/agreement obligations).

Remember, here international rules are paramount BECAUSE aircraft licensed in other countries that land on US territory also have to meet the same international standards for their radar altimeters as those of the US fleet - it has nothing to do with receivers being 'bad').

FYI: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Radiocommunication_Con.... Note: the ITU deems that the FCC IS responsible for radio regulations within the USA.
That and the primary colors are about the only things left of the days when they were a likable company.

What's your goal? If you want to prevent people from profiting off your work, then adding non-commercial language is the appropriate thing to do. "Open Source" isn't a trademarked term. You can legally use it to describe your non-commercial software, but you will face criticism from those who strictly go by the OSI definition. Alternately, if being OSI approved matters to you, then consider releasing your software under a viral, copyleft license like the AGPL and then sell closed source licenses.

One of the SEC's 2020 amendments[1] to the expanded accredited investor definition was to include anybody with a FINRA Series 65 license[2], among other changes.

The Series 65 license is one of the few FINRA licenses that do not require sponsorship[3] and costs $187[4]. This low price of entry seems to be pretty accessible to most people if they have the desire to access riskier and/or more sophisticated gambling^Hinvestment opportunities.

Linear Programming methods (barrier/simplex) have been able to run faster and solve larger instances in great part due to algorithmic advances (the other contribution being faster hardware, more memory etc). Considering that LP is a fundamental tool for mixed/integer programming, these improvements are incredibly valuable.

Gurobi had a white paper mentioning how much their solvers' performance was improved by which techniques (I'll link it here if I can find it).
I have heard that a waste storage had been damaged. But Im not 100% sure
It involves major powers and (to be blunt) the way Ukrainians live looks similar to the way the western populations live. Their houses look similar, their cities are structured similarly, etc. so the videos hit harder on an emotional level.

Also the Ukraine is far more embedded in the economic and moral calculus of the West. The US has made agreements with the Ukraine regarding protection, and basically all these decisions have major potential geopolitical ramifications.

It's one of those potential tinderbox situations.
that's your opinion, and you're welcome to it. But it's not fact, and none of us are in Putin's head and know what he thinks. This is simply one perspective
Note that Serenity OS also has its own stdlib "AK" that excludes a lot of criticized C++ "features". If the Linux devs were to carefully splice out the Good from the Bad and Ugly of C++, then maybe it'd suit their tastes just fine. I think the bigger factor here is that Linux became decidedly anti-C++ back when C++ was actually pretty crumby.
Not sure why you think North Korea and Pakistan can project and not France and UK which both have nuclear attack submarines. The heart of nuclear detterrence lies in those submarines that can cause second strike MAD.

I really hope to help on piet-gpu. I previously tried to understand the code, but I gave up. I will restart from the blog articles this time.
The documentation in the screenshot seems pretty meaningless, they're already being described by the function name and parameters.

Are there more examples that we can see?
You may believe whatever you like, but the evidence is all preserved where anybody may read it. And, notably, it is now, six, seven? years later; it could have been implemented any time, including right then.

It was not my proposal, and I was not persecuted, so that projection is pure fantasy.
However there is a balance because that bullshitting is serving an important function: creating social capital and a sense of camaraderie. There needs to be room to develop relationships otherwise you lose the team part of work.
Personally I think htmx is an interesting strategy because it unifies the rendering tech on the server (you still gotta be careful to properly scope your incremental changes).

"Advanced forms" come up all the time, and are usually when you have even a bit of non-trivial business logic. For example "if people pick this set of options, show this other option" (but you want to avoid having a form wizard, cuz then you're having to track state across multiple page loads). There's also stuff like in business applications, previewing calculations and the like.

"A few JS event handlers" can handle a lot of tiny things, but many B2B SaaS have a handful of pages with a loooot of these things, and at the end of the day you could have your hacks, or you could try to be principled about loading it.

Though it's also about just finding the right mix, there are people who can architecture their stuff "correctly", completely SSR + some JS flavoring. But it requires having people who are really good at backend and frontend figuring out the right pieces and putting it together. That diligence is hard!
I just saw this article saying that shelling may have hit a repository.

https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-chernobyl-russia-invasion...
See my post above (once, I was on several pre-WARC/WRC advisory committees).
You either have to trust that the participants will follow the agreement, or you have to trust that the other participants will enforce the agreement.

If you have neither of those things, you have no agreement at all.
That's the idea of using the low orbit constellations - obviously this doesn't work if you're just passively recording a broadcast, it has to be 2-way - which rules out anything not designed for that.

But low-orbit satellite internet is designed for 2 way communications, and probably already has the equipment on board to calculate checksums (or at the very least is a sufficiently trusted third party).

So we develop a protocol we can run on miniaturizable boxes which can be served point-to-point with the constellation members to at least prove transmission origin providence.

The rename has to be atomic, which is one of the things your revision control system gives you, unless it's like CVS or something worse†. So, that's a necessary part of the solution space.

You want there to be two states: State A where the thing was called old_name and State B where the thing is called new_name. State AB where some code thinks it is called old_name but other code thinks it is called new_name is broken, and must not exist.

† This might seem outrageous to modern programmers, but CVS thinks in terms of files, so from its point of view it's fine if out of sixty files you tried to commit, 48 of them succeeded and 12 failed. Good luck fixing the resulting mess.
If the site [1] is real (the site is relatively new, and could be part of a disinformation campaign), then at least one sensor is currently reading 65.5k nanosieverts per hour.

Not sure if those were rhetorical questions but of course you’re certainly correct. The difference between those situations (at least Cuba) and the nuclear situation in Europe is that Moscow is already very much in striking distance of British and French nukes, and vice versa. Nobody wants the scary optics of accepting further encroachment of nuclear weapons closer to thei borders, even though it has less tactical value than it did 60 years ago.
> Marrero wrote that he had a backlog of 100 patients referred to him by other doctors whose symptoms appeared to fit the case description, but lacked the resources to investigate each case. Marrero wrote that he was “quite concerned” by how many young people were in that backlog of cases.

But Marrero’s letter warned of at least 12 households with multiple cases, a finding he said raised concerns over “potential human-to-human transmission or a possible common root cause” of the suspected illness.
Dyalog APL was my first exposure to functional programming outside of being in awe of Project Euler solutions in the forum back in the day.

I spent a lot of time on https://tryapl.org/ before eventually moving on to running it on a raspberry pi ~10 years ago with my family TV as a monitor.

The time for the US to stop acting as the world police has gone, why does the US need to intervene in a former buffer state ~10000 km away? NATO will presumably step in when the threat comes close enough.
I generally agree with this sentiment, but IPFS and Filecoin I view as quite different than the rest. I think the F-Droid team does as well:

> Since the “decentralized web” includes all sorts of things, it is important to also mention things that we will not be doing with this grant. We are not looking at NFTs, blockchain, DAOs, smart contracts or related aspects of “Web3”.

Filecoin is acceptable to me because it seems to be a currency tied to a real asset that folks need: drive space. I'm not an expert on this, but Wikipedia's entry mentions this aspect:

> It is made by Protocol Labs and builds on top of InterPlanetary File System, allowing users to rent unused hard drive space.

I don't think it's an arms race for energy usage and e-waste the way e.g. Bitcoin is, but if I'm getting this wrong, I'd be interested to hear about it from folks who have better context!
> The platform is irrelevant.

This is about trusting the source, sure it could weaken traditional media outlets, but some of them are driven by social media, you will often see stuff first on Reddit and then a day or two later its a DailyMail story.

That tiktok footage of the two jets fighting was shown on a UK tv news channel, but watching it, I couldnt tell you the date time or location, I dont recognise the location so cant say where it was, and its like watching the mainstream media, their reuse of library shots sometimes labelled as library shots and other times not, makes anything hard to trust.

Another technique I saw on the news, was one studio news reporter asking a military base commander some questions, the interview was shown again later on but 2nd time around, the studio news reporter was a different person asking the same questions.

Anything which doesnt include two people in the same shot is questionable.

In todays age, where CGI makes the past come aline, you can get software from Adobe which can instantly change the colour of clothes in video clips with minimal effort, and photoshopping, makes this a distraction.

If anything its a psychological measure of fear, to work out how people react to different situations, which the internet is very good at doing.

I also find it interesting talking to people to see what they bring up thats been on the news and not, I sometimes think in todays digital age with digital transmissions and digital tv and settop boxes we get a personal form of news.
Why do I say this, well we are given an idea of how the news studios work, but what about the other studio presenters, are they doing the same in a different studio, have the news anchors recorded a variety of piece to camera's and they get edited and digitally delivered to different people.

Question everything, but unless you see it with your own eyes, dont rate it too highly and even if you saw something with your own eyes, have you been surreptitiously drugged, or are you just seeing some live performance with actors?

Obedience to authority experiments are always ongoing.

Introducing doubt into an argument is a valid debating technique.

Edit: I saw this as someone who witnessed some people winning the UK National Lottery in dubious circumstances.
Not sure how accurate this is:

“ Advisor Mykhailo Podolyak told the Associated Press that Russian forces took control over the decommissioned nuclear power plant; authorities there said in the process of the violent attack in the area, shelling hit a radioactive waste repository at Chernobyl, increasing the amount of radiation in the area. Now scientists are busy watching for signs of any radioactive event unfolding, including tracking any hazardous radioactive cloud that could rise from the area and float through Europe and perhaps beyond.”

"Majority of the web" is _not_ news sites and message boards and shopping sites. It's bank websites, ERP software, various CRMs (granted, like news sites...), time tracking, logistics sofware....

And, importantly, a lot of those websites have complex admin-side backends to deal with a lot of things as well! Of course in those cases you might say that the UX requirements are lower (true), but when you are basically serving as a DB frontend, you want to be able to do things quickly, even on a really bad connection.

There's a lot of cool work into partials for SSR, but React and friends are also very nice because you can build out complex UIs that operate through an API, without having to figure out a bunch of workarounds for stateless HTTP/HTML (form wizards anyone?)
There are several paths, but probably the one with most return on investment is grinding leetcode. Start with easies, but aim to be able to solve mediums. That ought to prepare you for the majority of companies outside of the uppermost tier (FAANG, etc.)

There are other paths to successfully breaking into a SWE career too, but leetcode is still arguably the most widely used.

I've read stories in LinkedIn of people with completely non-technical backgrounds breaking into even FAANG tier companies by mastering leetcode interviews.
Thanks dang! :)
Personally, I think we are well past the point of nuclear armaments. I think, if there is war, it'll be a ground and air war that's like a sophisticated yet familiar chess game and a side war that is mostly anti-war propaganda, pro-Russia propaganda, misinformation, and attacks on IOT and public infrastructure that exhaust the citizenry out of watching the fighting.
65500 is not that much all things considered, but it's suspiciously close to 65535 (maximum 16-bit integer).

I wouldn't credit the CSS spec folks with the 100 to 900 thing for the font weight. I believe that comes from the usWeightClass field [1] of the OS/2 table in the TrueType (1991) and OpenType (1996) formats. The Win32 API also uses the same value range for selecting a weight when instantiating a font [2].

Furthermore, the CSS spec that the post linked to [3] even mentioned OpenType!:

> If the font family already uses a numerical scale with nine values (like e.g. OpenType does), the font weights should be mapped directly.

> "What are recent developments in linear algebra?"

Have you heard of geometric algebra? It takes a while to wrap your head around, but unifies a lot of mathematics in a very elegant way. For instance, you can view Euclidean geometry as a special case, and concepts like quaternions and rotations can be explained in a very natural way. There are a few good resources below if you're interested.

Preparedness Tips for Nuclear Explosions
Ask HN: How to not care about a project's success?
I recently started a new job (Full-Stack Dev). On a project where I am one of three developers I am consistently seeing bad practices from the other developers that are leading to too many unnecessary bugs.

These developers are considered to be more senior than me so a lot of my suggestions are not taken into consideration. Sometimes when reviewing code after it has been merged (code review is not something the other developers want to do), I spot issues that frustrate me because it will end up causing problems in the future.

On the other hand, because they are used to slow development from of all the productivity issues caused by this, I don't have a heavy workload.

I am considering taking another full-time contractor role at the same time since I am quite a bit more productive and my code generally has less issues.

Basically, if I can just learn to not care about the success of the project, I can do very well for myself financially. I just happen to care too much about the project.
Author here. I'm neither a GrapheneOS project member or an Accrescent developer. I'm trying to push these solutions because I think they actually do things right. It's really frustrating that the first reaction for some would be to think that my motivation is to push alternative solutions for my own benefit. Let's try to move past this and other irrelevant personal judgments.
