Ask HN: Do you review code in “passes”?
In technical writing we have a concept of reviewing a draft in passes. First you review for technical accuracy. Then you review for completeness. Then you review for clarity. And so on. The key idea is that with each pass you only focus on that specific aspect of writing quality. I'm wondering if you all employ a similar technique for code reviews, what kinds of passes you do, and the usual order of passes?
I noticed something last night watching a live stream of Kyiv.

A lot of accounts were posting the comment '/cam2', with others implying something was happening on cam2. Others were saying that the cam thing was fake. I kind of thought it was a way to find out who was watching the video, since obviously youtube chat isn't going to change the video angle...And now I think that's exactly what it was, for this exact purpose.

One thing is clear, and it's very scary in light of all the NATO press conferences where people are asking if a cyber attack constitutes an act of war: There is a massive war happening on the internet right now. Reps are reluctant to respond to these questions because it's clear that total cyber war has been going on for years.
Nah, if this is dig at Biden, he is not doing that badly and is actually better predictable.

Also, you don't seem to know what NATO is.
> ... deal with a lot of stress ... have something better you're moving to ...

Thus the ethical argument. They'd rather keep doing what they're doing than pick the stress and uncertainty of moving.
This isn’t the goddamned playground with a bigger kid picking on a smaller kid. These are two nations at War and nobody has a defense pact or commitment with Ukraine because the concern was that making that pact would inevitably lead to a Russia-NATO war.

Our morals and ideals are not universally shared by our adversaries, and our adversaries include two Nuclear powers with ICBMs. One of them is the instigator in this conflict. So yeah, it would be more than just a little inconvenient to get into a shooting war with the Russians because Europe realistically may not actually survive the conflict and our saving grace would be what, at least Russia didn’t either?
It's also hard not to interpret China's inability to demonstrate decisive support for Ukraine the following way.

China would like to reserve the possibility that it can invade a neighboring country if it wants to.

I do hope that is not the case and that Beijing in a day or so will show support for Ukraine by enforcing as much sanctions as possible.

But it does seem like China thinks Russia invading Ukraine is not that big of a deal judged by their actions.
It's a perfectly cromulent attribute!

There were massive protests. I was at one in San Francisco.
> A cutoff from SWIFT may also have longer-term second-order effects on Bitcoin and non-fiat currencies.

And remember that Bitcoin has a fascinating property here-- the more demand there is for transactions on it, the better it gets at scaling for something approaching SWIFT level of transactions.

Oh wait I'm thinking of Bittorrent's scaling wrt popular torrents. Yeah, Bitcoin's ability to scale is complete shit.

You might be worrying a bit too much about what others think. I am English and if someone is, say, Russian, and writes to me in English, I don't care if their grammar is a little poor. The great thing about English is you can understand even when most of the words are in the wrong order :-)

Also, most English people don't know much about grammar anyway and lots of people still confuse things like there/their/they're; are/our; its/it's etc.

> Indirectly, yes: They can force every bank holding USD balances for embargoed beneficiaries to freeze these assets. Failing to comply could, in the absolute worst case, lead to that bank's Fed accounts being frozen as well (which would take away its ability to settle in USD with other banks).

They could also go much further. US has the power to force any bank that wants to transact in USD to freeze all Russian assets no matter the currency.

This is a very big stick.
lol did you just unironically use infowars or are you referencing Alex Jones
Replacing them with coal would have been a good idea, at least as far as Russia is concerned, since it’s a local source of energy. In reality it was, indeed, natural gas and renewables.

Bringing Thunberg into this discussion serves no purpose except making conservatives giggle because they love hating her. She had nothing to with the decision, and being anti-nuclear isn’t what she’s known for.

Northstream 2 was, indeed, a terrible idea. But it never became operational and therefore does not affect the current situation.
Does dq mean dequeue? Ironically, Grammarly would automatically expand your in-house abbreviations to make your writing more clear.
I have wondered if the NATO system would be better-designed if it had specific defense requirements from all countries, but I presently think its current structure (where Germany is allowed to reduce military spending because they're surrounded on all sides by other NATO countries) prevents a worse outcome, where they'd find it in their interest to leave NATO and get the buffer states anyway. Voluntary multilateral treaties like this only work when every signatory believes they're benefiting, and if you asked Germany to raise defense spending they'd respond with "okay, and how will we be compensated?"

Then, you'd say "nevermind, I'd rather spend it on my own armed forces," and you arrive back at NATO.
The EU sat on it's thumbs while Milosevic ran another mass extermination campaign in europe until the US stepped in. They will never take a proactive stance on their own initiative.
To me it didn't sound disrespectful. He reports about people dying which is a tragedy. And then he tries to express annoyance with someone who wanted him to participate in the meeting at very specific time, apparently not considering that the seriousness of the situation may not allow that. But he tries to soften his annoyance by making a joke.

I don't know the real situation though.
Oh dear! I walked right into that one didn't I? :'D
I know, but I have observed what countries in NATO have done. And it's nothing but pure evil. And sadly there has been zero consequences...
>Being a NATO member means that other members can drag you in to something you wouldn't join yourself.

Of course? That's the entire point of it isn't it? NATO is primarily about "dragging the United States into European war" if you want to phrase it that way, though equally the point is that the threat of doing so prevents a European war involving alliance members in the first place. But the USA is at absolutely zero risk of direct invasion by Russia (or China for that matter). America is the only nation on the planet right now with any significant conventional power projection and logistics capability. NATO members all certainly kind of hope America would nonetheless come anyway.

Along with that is the risk that they'd be called on in turn, so that's a tradeoff but an obvious and straightforward one. When you sign up for insurance, you constantly must pay even if you never collect. Indeed most people very much hope never to need to collect. Hedging against black swan events costs money with by definition a low likelihood of return, but can be worth it anyway at a high enough cost (particularly since the insurers themselves have incentive to prevent rather then react).
What concretely does it mean to “put an end to 100 years of Russian aggression” for America? Maybe be more mindful of what you say.
I think we will look back on this early era of technology with great nostalgia, as sort of a modern wild west. Where people 50 years from now will think "My god, could you really just get online and do whatever the hell you wanted with no consequences? How insane is that?", in the same way that we now think "My god, could you really just go out west and stake a claim of free land in Kansas for yourself? How insane is that?". As the boundary between the digital and physical world increasingly ceases to exist, I fully expect that we will eventually be required to provide full identification at the ISP level to access the web.
I did not make a reconstruction of the timeline, but weren't the NATO amounts growing only after the Russian troops started growing and doing their larger and larger exercises that seemed worrying (and escalated now into the invasion)?
Pretty much the same thing that would be wrong with asking a javascript dev to explain grunt.

What if that C++ dev primarily uses visual C++ and Visual studios projects? What if the C++ dev primarily used Cmake, ninja, or scion (or any of the other thousands of C++ build tools).

What if that C++ dev never really needed to start a project from scratch?

The issue is testing someone on minutia doesn't tell you anything about how capable they are. In particular, testing them on minutia that they very likely rarely interact with is beyond pointless.
It doesn't, because none of them are in Europe, as the comment you replied to specified.

Interesting pod-cast discussing digital currency and vaccine passports goal
I've been leaving comments on YouTube videos and have seen some strange things. I post a comment, get a few thumbs up and engage in some responses, and then the video will disappear, taken down. Quite a coincidence. So I 100% believe the claim of this post.
I've read one of Searle's popular books (Rediscovery of the Mind) and many other shorter writings. I'm aware he rejects dualism - my point is that the Chinese Room argument wouldn't even make sense to someone who had never been contaminated by dualist notions. Searle rejects it, but it has crept back in, imo.

His arguments against the "systems response" have to stand or fall on their own. The Chinese room doesn't have anything to add. If the "systems response" fails, then we already know a computer can't be conscious without any additional thought experiments.

Lastly, I think he goes much too far in dispelling the mystery of the word "computer". As Dennett and others have pointed out, a working chinese room that displayed clear signs of consciousness would be an artifact far beyond current human comprehension, either in scale or sophistification or both. Searle asks you to imagine a human taking slips of paper and calmly consulting a rule book and producing new slips of paper, and claims that it is "obvious" that this system can't be conscious. Well, I agree, but it's equally obvious that the system couldn't possibly display conscious-seeming behavior.

The best defense of the CR that I've heard is that it is only intended to prove that a _purely formal_ system (i.e. GOFAI) can't be conscious. I find this more plausible, but I still don't think the CR adds anything to that argument. And, to reiterate the previous paragraph, I think if you had a formal system that everyone agreed _seemed_ conscious, it would be such a complex artifact that it wouldn't be obviously unconscious in the way that, say, an eliza bot is.
Then presumably Georgia, Chechnya, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and the rest were also attacked because they wanted to join NATO?
Denial doesn’t mean they were influenced by propaganda. Invasion just didn’t make any sense and even among the opposition there was a belief that Putin is evil but rational.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine will have myriad impacts on spaceflight
We're well below replacement rates in most western and developed countries, there's a population crash expected in the next few decades which will cause issues as people age out and economies will shrink rapidly and social security programs will collapse, etc. The irony is, those far better equipped to have and raise intelligent productive kids, those with high education, good salaries, and liberal/progressive values, have less kids, meaning most kids in the next generation will be had by religiously conservative or less educated or poorer families and then these people will lament why their country is becoming more conservative when they don't have another generation they raised to pass their values onto. Which is counter productive if you want engineers and those that value the environment as a priority.

For instance, Russia is expected to half their draft able males in the next 5 years and many of their educated engineers and technicians are older since they were mostly educated during USSR days, and be retiring age soon, which as reason why many think Russia is making moves now, while they still can.

Shaming people for having kids is sheer idiocy at this point. Every person having 2 or more kids isn't even making up for the 5-10 people having 0-1 kids. The eventual conclusion of your reasoning, everyone is better off swallowing a bullet for the good of humanity.
Has Russia Launched a Cyber Attack?
This SO post goes over the semantics of `--inplace` and `--no-whole-file`

--inplace update destination files in-place
--whole-file, -W copy files whole (w/o delta-xfer algorithm)

It is very important to debug rsync scripts with a test corpus and not on live data, preferably on test vm or container.

https://superuser.com/questions/576035/does-rsync-inplace-wr...

Also, when transferring from different systems, make sure that both rsyncs are of a high enough version, again preferably the same.

MacOS ships with a really old version of rsync that doesn't support extended attributes at `/usr/bin/rsync`

rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29

This is kinda a large footgun.
He will be the guy that turned Russia into a complete pariah.

At some point other Russians in power will realize that Putin is the cause of their troubles, that's one of the better roads to an acceptable outcome here.
Not if the plan is to install a pro-Russian puppet regime. But considering 2014 I don’t see how that new regime would last for more than a week.

Useless use of cat isn’t useless
There's a lot of comments about how outrageous the lack of a harsher response (in particular the lack of military action) from the west/NATO/USA is. But, whatabout the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan? Weren't they quite similar (the big difference being that those countries were not close to the US geographically and not really posing a big threat). Why was those invasions ok but not this one?

Just to make clear: I'm definitely not in favor of the current invasion.

They can "print" as many USD as they want in-house. But in order to process transactions abroad, they need a US bank account. They can't print money in that.

The US sanctions (freezing their US assets) has more effect, in that regard, than a SWIFT blockade. The US seems to be the interested party in this war, and Germany is much less enthusiastic about it. Remember, SWIFT is a Belgium company and the US has been hostile to European financial institutions lately.

Ask HN: How to keep tech running in the apocalypse?
The gist of this question is, "how does one prep to keep technology operable?"

Imagine a disaster causes widespread collapse, where resources are no longer easily available, power and internet access is erratic or non-existent, and then things calm down enough to where the necessities of life are available and society tries to resume functioning.

Now, suppose you'd like to make computers work. What sort of things would you need?Power, obviously, or a way to charge batteries. What else?

What if you wanted to have communication with other people, or perhaps data communication? Would you want packet radio? HAM gear?

What if you want to repair equipment? I don't know if the computers in cars "break", for example [not that I imagine fuel being available]. I wonder about what sort of needs there might be to repurpose gear.

What if you need to keep an application running? Maybe you have a mesh network and people want a web app for some purpose. But, without documentation, it'd be incredibly tedious.

I can't help but think I've seen a linux distro designed for this scenario, where you have binaries, and all the code, and all the toolchains, and all the documentation.

The right answer might be "don't bother", but I'm still curious.
> In repressive regimes there is no freedom to protest.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protest_and_dissent_in_China

"The number of annual protests has grown steadily since the early 1990s, from approximately 8,700 "mass group incidents" in 1993[1] to over 87,000 in 2005."
The subscription price is high ($30/month, last time I checked). If that isn't turning a profit, I don't know what will.

What do you want them to do? Just go rot in Moscow's prisons? You clearly over-estimate the level of leverage the citizenship has over its government, even in democracies. This is not a democracy.

On that note, do you also want to sanction the Syrian refugees? They're not personally storming the presidential palace over Damascus.
If that were completely true China would be doing it now. We wouldn't see countries shutting down nuclear programs and replacing them with coal.

But yes, I agree that if a tech is freely available there is opportunity for countries to build out with what's the best available then legacy tech, the same way China has 4G/5G everywhere because its all new infrastructure, they never bothered putting up a 3G tower.
Odd entry to hit the front page but when I was putting together a list of favorite shorts/novellas from a list of SF authors a while back, this was my Heinlein pick in spite of him having a lot of great ones. (As the article notes his older By His Bootstraps is pretty good too in a similar vein.)

Many sanctions so far are limiting Russia's ability to use money (in exchange for securities, other currencies, goods or services). I am only proposing that we proceed along the current path.

As an example, denying them imports is reducing the value of their dollars.
> I don't understand why Russia, or anyone else, thinks that Ukraine was anywhere near joining NATO

IMO, because this is how all of Putin's propaganda has framed it. NATO is some big bully ("Nazi") that keeps "aggressing" by letting sovereign countries liberalize and freely associate with the West. The shameless destruction of Ukraine is right in line with the authoritarian autocrats's imperative - turn the place into a burnt out shithole so it can be better ruled over, and so that reactionary survival values become relevant again.

The fate of Ukraine is (regrettably) solely in the hands of the Ukrainians at this point, but Russia's crass action is also an attack on the ethos of our Western society - cooperation, openness, democracy, and the rule of law - however flawed they end up being. I would say that Putin's chest thumping at other countries is just intended to make the western world feel relieved when only Ukraine gets conquered, but I feel that's coming from the same optimistic-rational place as the idea that there wasn't going to be a full scale invasion in the first place.
To me, rocket seems much more "batteries included" than actix, which requires you to look around or build your own things if you want to build a bigger app. I'm thinking about authentication, templates, etc.

Honest question, do you really believe that Russias attack was based on the NATO aspirations, or is that just an excuse? I don’t take what Putin says at face value.
