These 2 loopholes will then relegate soldiers of fortune to a simple murderer status. UK can of course choose to look the other way.
I've used dependency injection heavily in Java in previous jobs, and, later, spent a few years doing Golang at another job. I never missed it.

What does dependency injection give you that a simple combination of Singletons, Constructors, and Factories doesn't? I feel like the only thing you get is the ability to combine multiple independent dependency trees without having to make a sane structure. Kind of like, what redux does for state in JavaScript. It make things easier because it takes away some responsibility, but, in my eyes, that responsibility is an important one, and ignoring it makes code very hard to reason about.
More than 600 Russian scientists sign open letter against war with Ukraine
I don’t need to read a review. I owned one when they were launched, while I was working as an iPhoneOS developer. I would spend eight hours a day using an iPhone 3G and the rest of the time using my G1. They were roughly equivalent. The iPhone did some things better, the G1 did some things better. It didn’t take “several years” for Google to be in the same ballpark, they were in the same ballpark from launch, which was fifteen months after the original iPhone launch.
Meanwhile coal powerplants have put 100x (!) More radiation into the environment than fukushima and chernobil did combined, and noone even blinked.
The enemy could easily retreat back to Russia this afternoon. It's only Putin's pride preventing that.

Putin orders Russian nuclear deterrent forces to be on highest alert

Putin puts Russia’s nuclear deterrent forces on alert
I'm quite fortunate that leadership at my job (IT) has a very strong "don't let the customer tell you how to solve the problem" mentality. Even stating directly that at times.

Why?

Because this is exactly what happens. IT-adjacent business customer comes and says they need X. Often via a couple conversations we can figure out that Y will do a much better job solving their problem, we develop it, and everyone goes away happy.

Of course, sometimes this results in curious escalations where the customer is frustrated that they aren't getting X, but this is becoming more rare, because aforementioned leadership knows that what the customer wants isn't always what they need (nor best for the company).
Putin Puts Russian Nuclear Forces on High Alert
Kind of hard to tell anything from that picture...
IKEA is essentially a bank, as a friend explained to me. They pay suppliers late and meanwhile get paid for selling the furniture made from the supplied parts.

Personally I'm a big fan of their simple designs and some of the style, and a regular buyer of book shelves.
European Dynamics vs. Curia, 2018
Yes, that's racist thinking, but you are reading too much in my definition, if south Italy was invaded they would let in refugees for the same reason. Same goes for Ireland.

It's a European war ergos Europeans feel involved. It's not hard to understand. If stuff explodes in Syria it's just a headline for most people.
The neoliberal ideology infects both parties, modern day democrats agree with much of Reaganomics. I'd be surprised if the right used it as a pejorative, though they may be misusing the term to apply to "new" liberalism, the social liberalism mentioned.

A quick search of "neoliberal left" brings up things like the Jacobin and Noam Chomsky criticizing the left, not something like Breirtbart.
Chess is obviously huge in Russia.

Day 1 of the invasion virtually every russian chess player said no to war. FIDE has also withdrawn everything chess from Russia. Russian Chess is on the correct side of history.

2 exceptions:

Sergey Karjakin who publicly supports the invasion. His career in chess is over. Any chess tournament who admits him will have mass amounts of strong players immediately withdraw from the tournament. He will forever be shadow banned from chess.

Anatoly Karpov who voted in favour of the invasion, he's personally sanctioned by virtually the entire world because he is in the russian duma. He is in fact more of a scumbag than Karjakin.

Something that is evidently clear, the Russian people are not behind this war. We must make efforts to applaud this of the Russian people. When this conflict ends, we must work to return Russia to the world community. To not punish the Russian people in long term. However, we can only do this when Russia is defeated. Diplomacy while Putin is in power is literally impossible.
Central banks don't control money. People who hold onto money control money since the central bank is forced to make as much money available to be lent out as much as is being saved because savings = investments must hold and allowing savings to go down to the level of investments is frowned upon (negative interest means savings exceed investment).

(1) You're leaving out the rest of that quote.

"Putin again is much too smart to do that... what Putin is doing is he's basically in the process of wrecking Ukraine and he's telling the West in very simple terms you have two choices: you either back off and we go back to the status quo ante before February 22 2014 where Ukraine is a buffer state or you continue to play these games where you try and take Ukraine and make it a Western bastion on their doorstep in which case we'll wreck the country."

Either the Russian's gets the regime change they want or they will continue to wreck Ukraine. They have no desire to own the country.

PuTTY comes to mind immediately upon reading this sentence. It is used more often than I like.

The default colorscheme is extremely bad and if you use Vim to open log files, the comments are unreadable because they're colored as dark blue on a black background. Most of the other colors are unreadable as well. The widespread usage of PuTTY in my organization is the reason I have never written scripts or programs with colors, even though colors would help a lot of people differentiate between benign, warning, and error messages.

Either way, it is known how much gas is available. It can also be estimated fairly reliably how much gas will be used a couple of days in advance, given the weather forecast. Therefore a gas shortage will be known in advance, and contingency measures will be taken, both for gas and electricity.

As proud as HN commenters are of not falling prey to the tricks that work on normies, this shouldn’t surprise you. IKEA isn’t designing their store to extract maximum value from you.
Ask HN: Why not target the Russian oligarchs?
If hackers or the international community want to really put the pressure on Russia, it seems they should pressure the people that stand to make the most money from this war/ Putins reign: His backers and cronys. Sanctions normally just hurt the poorer people of a country. The rich and the people in power are usually effected last. Why isn't this the stategy?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_oligarch

Look at the Putin section.
This is tragic shift in European foreign policy. Will lead nowhere good.
but probably IKEA could furnish your whole house using the same amount of wood and still cost less. IKEA is a blessing for this planet.

Except that IKEA product last far shorter. We moved frequently due to being in academia, Billy bookshelves are often pretty much worn-out after disassembling and assembling them 2-3 times. We had IKEA sofas (not the cheapest models) that would wear out in 3-5 years. The surface of our relatively expensive IKEA dining table cracked open twice. They replaced it, no questions asked, but their quality is quite mediocre.

Before IKEA, in The Netherlands Lundia bookshelves were popular. They were made of massive wood and designed to be easy to assemble/disassemble. They would often last and be passed between generations. I knew fellow students who had 30 year old Lundia bookshelves that were passed on from their parents and moved from house to house and then from student home to student home.

Besides that, I really hate shopping at Ikea. It's far too chaotic and annoying. (The trick is going on weekdays and knowing all the shortcuts.)
please don't use telegram especially now that Russia is at war with the West it's terrible opsec. It's cryptographc snake-oil and the Tech is literally controlled by Russians. There is also a reason all the IS fighters organizing themselves there got pwned ;)
> That's outright impossible

Lets imagine that the gas pipeline from Russia explodes due to war or Putin shuts it off. Is it still 'impossible', as in we'd rather freeze and have blackouts?
As I mentioned, it is working on me just as well as on the next person. I’d love to claim differently, but for this, I can’t. It’s the side effect that destroys it.

Outside of British jurisdiction, and very difficult evidence wise.
I haven't used ZFS, but you can easily use NFS to share a filesystem from a central (ZFS) "file server". NFS works very well over wireguard, as wireguard gives you "trusted" source IPs, and NFS uses that to check permissions (It would also work well over yggdrasil/cjdns).

I've been wondering the same for distributing storage arrays around multiple sites, with local caching. Ceph seems to be the way.
This is very, very useful for something I'm currently working on.
I guess I'm here to shill for Ikea. I enjoy wandering around the labyrinthian layout (though it was always clear to me this was intentional to make you spend more time in store), and the level of detail is impressive - open a drawer in the showroom and you can buy the organizer and all the utensils within. As I've aged a bit, the spare, modern nordic design of everything isn't quite as appealing as it was to my younger self, but I still like it. I suppose it's the unified design of the entire store experience that works for me. I even enjoy putting the furniture together with their wordless instructions, though I'm told many people find it frustrating. Also, the furniture is cheap to the point of disposability which I consider a double-edged sword. You certainly wont be passing on heirloom Ikea furniture to grandchildren, but it does the job for a bit and you can move on from it without much worry if you need to get rid of it quickly.
The comments talk about a $80 bitscope, then reply they can't find it on the site.

Where can this expert consensus be found? I don't think this is accurate

Going to IKEA drives me absolutely bonkers. I went with my son to buy a few things, ended up going through their amazingly frustrating maze jam packed with people 3 times and finally gave up. Wanted to compare a few different storage solutions to each other but it was maddening trying to get back and forth between a few different sections and trying to remember what was where sucked. I ended up buying much less than we wanted and went home and my wife was mad at me. I am not going anymore.
This is all true, and obviously so. But the flip side is that IKEA does have good stuff at good prices, and they have pretty much everything you need to furnish and equip a home. Walking the entire IKEA maze is still faster than visiting all the separate retailers you would otherwise need to visit, and within the same budget you're likely to get higher quality at IKEA. I'm not saying that their quality is very high, but it's usually at least adequate which is better than what you usually get at lower-end prices at other retailers where quality nowadays is a big crap-shoot and half of all items break after the first few uses.

When I lived in a place that had IKEA stores I dreaded going there, but I never regretted it. Now I live where there aren't any, and I rather miss them.
I'm in Tallinn (happened to fly here for a regular business trip a day before it started), but I'm 24/7 online with friends, with gf on video call. Internet and power are totally fine, no distruptions so far.
If the future of climate change tells us anything, then people better get a bit more comfortable with being a lot more uncomfortable.
I agree. We're currently affiliated with Sam's Club (we switch back and forth to maximize the free membership deals). I feel like we never get out of Sam's Club or Costco for less than $100, regardless of what we went for originally.

Why would they pivot their entire logistics workflow and supply chain to something that likely isn’t profitable for them outside of a pandemic? They did Pick and Click (ie, curbside pickup) at all their stores, which we did several times. It worked great, was safe for everyone, and used their existing infrastructure. And if our store was any indicator, they got plenty of business to justify offering it for sure.
You think it's hard to sell $2M BTC for fiat? I think they could find a trading desk at a bank to take it for reasonable fees.
Empathy only extend so far. Yes ideally we should all care about everyone, but that's not the case because there is a very real limit to our ability to care.

I'm not afraid to accept that if there is some war in Asia I care a lot less than when 9/11 happened because I can barely pronounce the name of one while I've been to the other several time.

Yes, in fact I work for the US Government.

I was just talking to one that said that.

Why would I do that when I'm already closer to the enemy here?

Shell has a Forth-like Quality
Yeah of course you don't want that. Because my country will pay to defend your country while the poor people in the U.S. need schools, teachers, and access to healthcare more than Germany does. Thanks for nothing.
Thanks for reminding me of this, really great read! For a similar feel there’s a good short story by China Miéville called The Ball Pit.
It looks basically accurate, as it's showing your risk of dying at a particular point in time during your life. This risk increases as you get older: the you're more likely to die if you make it to 80 than at 70 or at 60, and so on. So it would seem accurate that the risk increases steadily with time.

This table [0] shows the underlying data. If you plot age against death probability, you get a similarly-shaped curve to the article's.

A sigmoid curve would seem to imply that your risk of dying decreases after a certain age, which isn't the case. I think what you're imaging is a curve that shows one's overall chance of dying at a particular age (rather than risk at a point in time)? Or am I missing your point?

I never really understood how MEGA is any better. Sure, personal files are encrypted, and thus it's hard to detect pirated files that I upload for myself. But a lot of piracy happens with publicly downloadable files, which MEGA can definitely decrypt and search for copyright violations.

I'll be honest -- I've used both MEGA and Megaupload for piracy, and MEGA makes it easier.
"Friendship" works better when the relationship is balanced.
Low debt levels inevitably lead to a golden age. The way money is set up we will always have a debt problem because savings interrupt the economy. To continue the economy you have to bridge over the transaction that was delayed and this is done via debt. There is literally no mechanism in our economy that lets us pay off debt which is why we do the inflation nonsense.

No, a gold standard doesn't solve the debt problem.
Is crypto currency useful to them right now? Like, are they able to use it and spend it on things they need?

If not, and they come out of this surviving maybe they can use it for reconstruction?

IKEA has a bank in Sweden - Ikano Bank.

It handles my branded car credit card, among a lot of other things.
Yes, but that’s not because it’s impossible… just because unity decided to reengineer an entire language in house to build their product.

Unfortunately, the reality is that Microsoft has more engineers and money devoted to this problem than unity possibly can, so the official c# runtime will continue to support more platforms and being new feature and better performance at a pace that is…

…categorically not possible…

For unity to match.

So… while it’s a bitter pill to swallow, and it was done for reasons that seemed good at the time, it was the wrong choice, and that will become increasingly clear as time rolls on.

There’s what I believe is a pretty classic case of sunk cost fallacy going on with a number of current initiatives in the Unity ecosystem.

Some companies thrive under competition. Some… do not.
"If it was profitable private capital would build it"

Ah yes, the magical private capital, we should trust in it's infinite wisdom and do no national policy or planning ourselves.

Thats why the greatest infrastructure projects, like tbe hoover damn or interstate highway system, or Netherland barrier system for holding back the sea, are all private capital, right?
Because it has the best library ever (VCL/LCL), and a very nice clear syntax conducive to writing "clean" code (yeah, whatever that is). Therefore: Object Pascal, as embodied in Delphi and in Free Pascal / Lazarus.
Telegram is not end to end encrypted and requires you to use a phone number for ID. The only worse IM app I can think of is iMessage.
I know as a fact that there's a lot of pirated content shared on MEGA online, but that's also true for Google Drive though.
I think the point is that the perimeter security doesn't provide the security that the client imagined. Gaining root on any endpoint in the network (and then finding an endpoint you can control anywhere else on the internet) gives you a way in and out of the company network.
Game mods too.
For sure, and I see now how it reads as me saying doing so is irrational. That wasn't my intention though.

I just meant that comparing this to how someone's grandfather fought the Nazis is BS, and the people who chose to not fight shouldn't be judged by that false comparison.

Some people chose not to put "their country" before their own lives, and that's fine with me.
Just wanted to chime in that I love your website and love binge reading articles from it every few months.. Thanks for all the work you've done on it!

I never actually read the book mostly because I tend to read ebooks and it doesn't seem to be available as one? Kind of curious about the exclusive content though.
I wanted to buy a $6 shoehorn online from IKEA. When I reached the checkout page, I selected the click and collect option. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw they were going to charge me an additional $5 to pick up the item myself. I ended up walking through their silly maze to save $5. (Prices in AUD.)
I feel the same way. Its so awful to walk the long narrow paths, that are clogged with slow-walking smelly people. The store in my city is also overheated, so not only is it torturous to walk the store, its also hard to breathe and sweaty.
You could look at your own country's plans to reach net zero for example.
