Ukraine was supposed to be low-hanging fruit. Should it turn into a prolonged and costly slog I don't think we will have to worry about Russia taking on the likes of NATO any time soon. Not only are the arms and munitions flowing in to the resistance but undoubtedly numerous "advisors" with special "talents" are scampering about as well. And Russia will deserve every bit of it...
It is close. Less than a good days driving. But don't let that proximity get to you too much, the dangers are just the same if you live in Amsterdam, Berlin or New York, to believe otherwise is an illusion. If it remains a conventional war then there is no way that the Russians will manage to do much without being beaten savagely, but at the same time that is exactly why if they decide to press on things could well get out of hand.
But we don't even know that will be the end of our universe. Could be something else. Who knows, technology might make us truly immortal, even beyond the bounds of this universe.

Point is, absolute certainty in anything, even the end of the universe, is always misguided.
I thought those guys were Nazis?
Previously, much larger armies of tanks, rotorcraft, and tactical nuclear missiles faced each other across the Iron Curtain for 40 years without anyone blinking.

If anything, this is a return to historical tension levels between the West and Russia.

If poster feels tension, do something to prepare. Whatever that means to them, and whatever gives them comfort.
Hey, every human is unique and equally irreplaceable. It’s just that some of us are more equal than others.
Yeah. To be honest I think the greatest risk to the rest of the world - if there is a risk - would be Putin acting irrationally (due to temper, or mental health, or desperation). I see no remotely rational course that could lead him to launch nukes or to move troops past Ukraine.

As an aside, I'm really very glad this didn't happen a couple years ago when we had our own mad-man with the launch codes.
I’m sure if someone develops a profitable trading algorithm, the platform owner will use it also.
I agree. Even if these orgs aren't using (on-prem) FaaS solutions today that doesn't mean it doesn't still sell them on the cloud.

A car salesperson has sold the car once the customer begins fantasizing about their lives inside the new car.
FWIW I hadn't considered there would be a war reparations package that would benefit companies like this. So useful for the naive/ignorant?
It always was like that.
No offense, but there is not much to hit in Norway :) No reason to waste nukes there.
I too am interested in the small slice of the problem that is replacing passwords with something asymmetric. The rest is kinda out of scope IMO. OPAKE is cool but definitely not less complicated than WebAuthn and doesn't do anything related to solving phishing and tracking etc. either. Keys seem like a natural solution. WebAuthn is actually really good but browsers don’t yield enough control for people to use it in a portable identity style, which I also agree isn't the devil.
Has anything changed significantly since 2014 that would make today's cellphones more efficient at detecting gammas?

> No need to imagine, there already were enemy rockets on Cuba and it was not solved in such a moronic way as Putin does

What is the bay of pigs? United States tried to invade Cuban overthrow their government in the '60s as well. How did that go? The United States also weighed more extreme options like all out military invasion instead of a tactical invasion. We can thank JFK for not doing that.

I am not trying to defend Putins war or tactics, I am just pushing back on the notion that he is a mad man with no reason behind his actions other than his ego, greed, and glory. This is the simple narrative the American media wants you to believe so you don't notice that they actually wanted this war to happen.

Almost third of Europe is already neutral. Also I never said that, I was just referring to Ukraine, which is clearly of the most geostrategic significance to Russia.
The launch would almost certainly trigger a nuclear war.

The most likely use that wouldn't is to employ tactical nukes in Ukraine itself. On the other hand what would that achieve? There's no logistic hub or massed armour formation.
They shouldn’t as they spent like 70 years not supporting him but the orange guy likes him and that skews things, and it makes Biden look bad, so…
Unless that person you spoke to is on the Lambda team breaching all sorts of NDAs telling you the metrics across all accounts, their experience is definitely anecdotal.

At that time the Russians had more sane leaders.
"But I’ve never found anybody who thinks cancer is a good thing. Nobody sane at least."

Interesting that you bring up cancer ...

Cancer occurs when individual cells decide to act in their own self interest and no longer act for the collection of cells that is your body. They ignore cell signaling mechanisms and resist the culling actions of apoptosis, etc.

I agree that cancer is not a good thing. I wonder if individual humans acting to preserve their own selves will be a cancer upon humanity.
I know this article isn't great, but is there anyone on HN who lives in Germany who could explain why there's such a scepticism of Nuclear power there? I'm from the UK and we have largely transitioned away from Nuclear for one clear reason - there was no political appetite to spend a tonne of money on an expensive form of energy that wasn't likely to pay off in the current parliamentary term. The german response to Nuclear seems to have been far more extreme though.
I am pretty sure that NATO won't nuke Norway.
Launching a nuke to Kiev in the current situation is very much within the realm of possibilities, if unlikely. No other country would intervene with military force even if they did, because nobody wants a two-sided nuclear war.
> The “do smol thing together so we can talk about it” interview penalizes people with performance anxiety.

Does this apply to the Leetcode style interviews?
How can they distinguish good from bad justifications for aggression? Russia's current actions seem to be at one extreme, while, say, responding to an attack from another government would be on the other extreme (barring extenuating circumstances), while the US usually has an (ostensible) justification somewhere in the middle.

Afghanistan after 9/11 is a good of example of something that was hard for another western nation to argue against the justification for starting (how it went is another story).
I'm in the same boat. I genuinely feel like the west and russia are in more danger than at almost any point in the cold war.

The problem is that Russia's nuclear doctrine was 'updated' to use 'tactical nukes' if they are threatened by conventional NATO forces. That's supposed to be in the situation where there's a NATO tank column rolling towards Moscow, but it's easy to see how lines could get blurred.

This creates a really plausible chain of events where NATO crosses a red line that was assumed to be bluff, then ends up getting dragged into a conventional NATO-vs-Russia conflict which leads to a nuclear exchange.

There is a silver lining to this scenario: you know the conditions in which Russia would use nukes: i.e. if they felt existentially threatened by NATO forces. That would give everybody a few days of warning in which you can evacuate.
Completely unclear what they mean by "high end".

If you are doing a new design and estimates of area, pads, packaging and volumes are in the right place, TSMC 28nm or Intel 22nm are both very nice design points.

Proven tech, single patterned mask sets, fully amortized fabs.

At typical automobile volume, it is unlikely that a sub 10nm design would pencil out.

(Edit : oops - Vision and/or ML engines for self-driving or driver assist might get there as long as the design is not dedicated to typical car volume)
Honestly, the answer is no here. Putin can make as many threats as he likes, but he is surrounded by fabulously wealthy insiders who have absolutely no interest in being fried to a crisp. They’re more worried about losing their reservations at Dorsia right now, and push comes to shove they’ll take the old man out back and pop him.
Nothing stoping Russians from starting sabotage operations internally in protest.
I'll take that you live in Russia, therefore you do need some enlightenment.

If Russia weren't obsessed with imperial domination then NATO wouldn't even have a reason to exist. NATO is an expensive enterprise that needs a reason to exist. Russia's repeated violation of other countries sovereignty (Syria, Georgia, Crimea) are not "valid security concerns", they are actually validating NATO's reason to exist.

The West never invited Ukraine into NATO. Russia is the one that gave Ukraine real strong reasons to do so.

> In reality, the American political elite wanted this conflict to happen because it will make Europe dependent on American oil and gas.

Ultimately it has enough forces to overwhelm the Ukrainians on every front.

Perhaps not everyone has to grind it so much. (I would wager they're the same people who do regularly find themselves thinking about computational and space complexity, and about using different datastructures and algorithms for problems, vs the ones who never see reason to!)

A take home test requires spending free time for everyone. A whiteboard interview requires variable amounts of free time. I would wager that, on average, the people inside companies using these processes require less time to "grind leetcode" than the people outside those companies do.

You gotta be able to convince the folks on the inside, not the ones on the outside. To them, it being hard to "grind" might even seem like a good thing! "It's hard to cram for this compared to other sorts of tests!"
Perpetually right around the corner.
The do need high frequencies. It's orders of magnitude slower than digital, but the amount of power being switched presents entirely new problems. You could flip your statement around and say that digital circuits are less complex because they're low power. But that would be equally meaningless.

Digital FETs are CMOS made with fins or whatever to switch as fast as possible. Analog FETs are something else to make clean predictable signals from mature manufacturing processes. Power FETs are big arrays of trenches to not destroy themselves. You can't really compare them. That would be like comparing a racecar to a passenger van to a rock hauler. They're all vehicles, but they have different purposes and success metrics.
He's been acting quite irrationally already in the recent past.

> As an aside, I'm really very glad this didn't happen a couple years ago when we had our own mad-man with the launch codes.

Weirdly enough: the risk of spillover would be lower, the danger to Ukraine much higher. But that is also why we are where we are today: without Trump undermining the whole situation in Ukraine would be quite different and Putin would not have embarked on this thing in the first place.
Why would it be better to preserve an enslaved humanity than to call the bluff and fight back? We need to be prepared for global nuclear war if we want to defend ourselves, otherwise we are just posers and might as well give up now. Deterrent doesn't mean anything if you wont actually use it if necessary
The next move will be a tactical nuke. Maybe targeting the black sea, any target not causing real casualties.
F# is a dream for lambdas. However, it might be worth using Fable and the Node runtime.

I guess, "greens" in the coalition will be really "happy" about that.
I'm hoping the CIA has in some way sabotaged Russia's nuclear misstles so they don't work. I have no confidence Russia wouldn't use them as a first strike, but their habitat of listing ships as working until they sink makes me hopeful that maybe they won't work if launched.
Functional Programming Isn't the Answer

Of course it makes up a minuscule fraction of the Ukrainian national guard:

This is where I am too. I'm thinking Putin is doing this as his last stand for his legacy. I expect that if he had done this swiftly he would have headed to the Poland border and maybe taken a right and headed up the Baltic (if he beat the Nato forces there).

I suspect he's surprised, if not stunned, by the difficulty that his forces are facing. So (while I would prefer he not risk it) I suspect his nukes won't work as expected either. I say that as someone who lives in the Boston suburbs, which I suspect is a high priority target for his subs.

Most importantly, perhaps, is that if it is WW3, it's going to be the world against Russia. Iran may try to help if they feel an obligation; I don't think China will because they're smart enough to see it's a lot cause.
There are people in Ukraine going about their daily business, so no you should not be worried.

Putin is just flexing as he needs some small concession to save face for the eventual withdrawal from central Ukraine.
Most people, even those who self-select to participate in discussions about such risks, place a 3% probability of any of that killing a large chunk of humanity: https://www.metaculus.com/questions/2568/ragnar%25C3%25B6k-s...
In a democracy, you need public support for this sort of thing.

The anti-nuclear movement has been behind the shutdowns. With Russia invading Ukraine, nuclear proponents might be able to sway public opinion in the opposite direction for once.

Nuclear war is a HUGE step up from any of the previous steps. Like you could build a binary system based on those principles, with Nuclear War being 1 and the rest being noise that's equivalent to 0.

The only way he'd entertain it is if he's truly lost his marbles, and if that's the case then this timeline just got a whole lot shittier regardless of whether we capitulate to the madman with the nukes or not. I sincerely doubt western institutions are going to show their bellies because of Putin's nuclear threats, so we'll see if he's bluffing one way or another.
It wasn't really about what games were out there just what I felt like doing. I did a lot more physical real world stuff during the pandemic.

There are tons of amazing games out there. It's just like a new book series or author though. You gotta get to the hook.

What types of games do you like I can offer many suggestions. There have been plenty of amazing games in the last 1, 3, 5 years.

Now a days it's easier to make games, you just leverage an engine not invent graphics primitives. But it's harder to get noticed and make money. And easier to make small losses and harder to have massive blow outs. Games is a lifestyle business now.
Idea: Professional CS interviewers!

I'm a good programmer, but not a good interviewer. That makes me pretty typical.

I could spend a lot of time getting better at it, but I would only marginally improve, and it would take time out of the work I'm actually good at.

This feels like a typical problem for division of labor to solve.

Maybe it's already done in done form?

Breaking Vegas was a fantastic series. My favorite episode was the one where a programmer working for the Nevada Gaming Commission hacked the ROMs of slot machines and was able to activate a jackpot with a secret combination of coins.
Go for it. I took care of my family, ~50miles away from the next big city, rivers, farmland and enough supplies around us. I'd rather laugh on my stupidity later on.
You’d think so. Unfortunately not.
My point is not about what tim cook should think, it’s about how i believe people in his position do think. Their pay keeps going up because profits are high, monopolization is high, and so when they ask boards give. But i don’t believe they’re doing that job for the pay. Or, not primarily for the pay, they probably wouldn’t do it for free.

So, it’s being put to a vote and they could deny it, and if they do the question is will he walk?

That fact that he has 2bil in the bank and is still doing the work he’s doing suggests to me that he might not. CEO of apple isn’t a fungible job. I don’t believe tim cook wants to be CEO of any other company. If he wanted to leave no dollar amount could keep him, similarly, i’m not sure a pay cut would send him packing.
He says he's giving all of his wealth away when he dies anyway. So I'm guessing he has plans to give it to causes he really thinks are important going forward. I'm pretty sure someone like Tim Cook doesn't need the cash so there must be a reason for the compensation and to be fair Apple's execution has been nothing short of incredible since he took over.
Precisely. The other reasons are simply buying into Russian propaganda.
Since other people are linking their favorites to this comment, I thought I'd add mine:

> I live 12h drive from the border of Ukraine.

The closer you live to Russia the more this conflict matters. The more your country relies on the globalized economy the more this matters. This war is a big wake-up call to Europe, and many developing nations are in big trouble that Russian oil and Russian and Ukrainian wheat might not make it to market. The United States will have to put up with higher commodity prices and we should step up measures to support the poor and deal with less until the market can adjust.
I'm not sure it would be political suicide, since although Taiwan is becoming more popular with Americans, does that translate to a stomach for WW3?
In the old days. the Soviet Union was a authoritarian state ruled by the leader of the Communist party. But he was, after Stalin at least, not a despot who controlled everyone around him. There were some checks and balances I believe. With Putin I don't think there are any. That is what scares me.
Eventually … still need to do the really difficult things like decide on a name and license, and write some documentation …
> In fact, I'd be very interested to know what Wirth thinks about Smalltalk; I haven't read a statement from him about it anywhere, or heard anything from him about it in the many interviews

I'd be interested to know as well. It might be worth writing him a physical letter asking about it. There is a mailing address for his department at ETH here (https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/index.html) and I'm willing to bet they know how to forward him correspondence.
This list is pretty good, though I've found Alex to be quite grating and very low on the information side of things for a long time(that noodle tier list was an absurd waste of time). Still sometimes entertaining to watch and I just yesterday cooked the carbonara he outlined in his last video.

There is also "My name is andong" who is really good imho. Informative and fun, more trying to showcase new things or in different lights.

There's also Chef John who is one of the OG food tubers. His narration style is a 1:1 template for how Joshua weissman talks in a lot of his recipes. He's mostly on the recipe side less on information but still enjoyable.
Ironically there's talk of the invasion triggering regime change. But... if he's going to lose everything, why not blow up the world?
We just went down the rabbit hole of trying to migrate to Microsoft 365 Family with custom domain. You (officially) need to move your domain to GoDaddy, which was unfortunately a blocker for us as they don’t support our domains TLD.

From what I read DKIM also isn’t offered on Family which is disappointing. Business plans get expensive quickly when you want Office apps as well.
