I encounter this issue many times a week. A client encounters a difficulty, decides on the spot what needs to be done to solve it; and then goes on to request the solution is implemented.

Taking that solution, and running with it, will often be a disaster.

Not because the client is an idiot, or uninformed .. but because the client often won't be in a place to understand the greater context.

'Greater context' here involves functionality in macro sense (new features need to live within the landscape of current features), as well as the technical constraints and costs associated with carrying out any work. It's information a client most likely won't have access to.

How can it be solved?

Research problems, not solutions.

Ask for a description of the problem; refuse any solutions. Understand what needs to be improved.

Solutions come later.

Why focus on imposing additional work on developers, rather than users (which, by the definition, is much wider audience) having to workaround hard-coded behavior? Adding color support to cli tools is an additional work for developers in the first place
I feel some of the least secure places are the ones which never mention (or realize) that they have a security problem.

It is an age old conundrum that people seem to struggle with a lot. As part of my previous profession, I've security reviewed hundreds of open source libraries. They fall into 3 categories:

1. The libraries/applications that have either had a really security conscious developer behind it or a very rocky past such that it was given an extraordinary amount of attention security wise. These account for about 1% of software

2. The "normal" libraries/applications that nobody care about with regards to security. As long as the code works everyone keeps using it. They are often insecure by default, but the lack of attention by SME means they wont be judged. They account for 80% of software.

3. The horrid ones. Built-in code execution as a feature. Authentication systems with more critical bugs that you can possibly image. We never talk about these because... well, we could spend months on polishing a turd. Nobody dares to publicly speak up and say "don't ever use X, Y and Z" for fear of the repercussions. They account for the rest of software.

GitLab used to be in category 2, but got moved into 1 about two years ago when security professionals started to give it attention.

As to your feeling, 99% of software have security issues, some worse than others. We rarely talk about them.
Finally picked this game up and I love it. Recently popped the A20 achievement (with The Ironclad) after about 250 hours and definitely still feel like a beginner - this game definitely has plenty of depth.

I really recommend not consulting any strat guides / watching any expert playthroughs / etc if you pick this up. So much of the fun is in figuring stuff out on your own. Games are a space where, unlike at work, you can allow yourself that luxury - so enjoy it!

P.S. I also think this game's potential as an honest-to-goodness esport is underappreciated. Not all esports need to be PvP!
Yes. "Could you walk me through the entire process where this would fit in as one of the steps, from when you learn about the need to when it is satisfied?" is one of those questions that often open up the big picture more.
Holy moly, this model is good and the explanation model too!

I almost can't believe that it succeeded in my test with a picture of a pregnant woman and her husband behind it, holding each other ( both somewhat naked).

That just says there were negotiations with Chinese, nothing concrete. And if the second airframe is still there, it's probably destroyed too.
The choice of branding a country where both the head of state and the head of government are Jewish as a Nazi regime was an odd one…
I would love to believe in this, but in practice RISC-V has only gained traction in 32-bit microcontrollers, from companies that simply don't want to pay for an ARM license.

If there is a riscv64 server/workstation out there that I can buy, today, I would love to order one.
Can you explain further, I’m not sure I understand the objection. Doesn’t any language backwards become unintelligible to its readers? Doesn’t seem specific to Japanese.

How would you wish `ゃき` to reverse if not `きゃ`?

Seeing as they are both are normal runes with no modifiers attached, I don’t know what alternative there would be?

> The Ukranians are not in the same place (the Russians will not slaughter them)

In other circumstances, I'd agree with you. But everybody is wondering what Putin's options are? His Blitzkrieg didn't work at all, he tried several times and failed. What is happening now is a regular war on several fronts with civilian casualties. So what is going to happen if months pass and Ukraine is still fighting? Will he be able to swallow it? Many people are afraid he is too megalomaniac to do that and when pressed can start being more brutal than he is now. He is regarded as a war criminal already, what else does he have to lose? Those who listen to Russian propaganda will believe all he says anyway; the rest can be kept in order by an extended police state.
I think it is a pretty safe bet that it was still there and is destroyed too.

You don't usually fly aircraft until they are at least complete, especially ones this large.
You are entirely correct that that K&R exercise is flawed in the first place. I'm more concerned about the language-specific rules for (somehow) reversing a text therefore.

The clever thing about the Javelin is that it doesn't fly at a tank, but climbs vertically and comes down from above, hitting the top. So it does a flip before hitting.

The funny thing about the Javelin is that launching it looks like a dud - the first stage is basically an elaborate unboxing.

I spent many years trying to figure out the Palestine vs Israel conflict. I met many very staunch on each side but I couldn't pick a side myself. It seemed like such a mess. It made me question the formation of my own nation ( new Zealand). We didn't treat the locals very well but somehow think our claim to this land is more legitimate than Israel's. Now I'm very skeptical in forming an opinion on any conflict between nations.
I wear fingerless compression gloves when coding. They are usually sold for arthritis/carpel tunnel/raynauds. If you get cold fingers these might be life-changing for you as they were for me.

Another factor is just getting up and doing some light exercise every 30 mins or so. 5 push ups, or jogging up and down the stairs a few times, is enough to keep your circulation reasonably balanced.
It cant be solved yet as there isnt enough resources to go round for everyone.

Occam's razor does not mean every coincidence is meaningful - that's just pareidolia. The simplest scenario is that this viral pandemic is like every other one in known history - including the last coronavirus pandemic - a zoonotic crossover. Something that most professional biologists like myself has have been trying to stress.
No, Pharo is OOP. The other stuff that people call OOP isn't.
That's unfortunate. The fact that Ukrainians fight alongside neo Nazis and have done for years, is a key part of Putin's started justification for why it's a moral invasion. This sort of censorship has kept the West blind to this reality. I've seen quite a few comments in recent days saying how ridiculous it is for Putin to claim the Ukrainians support Naziism given that their president is a Jew, but the reality is, the Azov Battalion has been around for a while and they aren't subtle about their beliefs. It weakens the West when people criticize "state controlled media" in Russia whilst being totally unaware of what's happening on the ground in Ukraine.
Isin't risc mainly for embedded systems and low power usage?
Occam's razor states: "entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity".

Given that viruses have multiple times spread from animals to humans this would be the simplest explanation, favored by Occam's razor.

That said, the scientific community has not ruled out a lab leak.

The Atlantic generally has very good articles on where the investigation stand, and how different people interpret the probabilities/coincidences.

For example https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/09/lab-leak...

Given that China is not really interested in any conclusion on this topic (except if the virus was imported from a different country) we will probably never know.

I've not an avid follower of CNN or Fox, but I can give a big counterpoint. During the 2016 election and afterward, Fox generally was favorable to Trump but also featured anti-Trump people as well. How many pro-Trump staff were on CNN? I occasionally scan both sites to see how they are spinning the news, and I see a much greater diversity of message on Fox.

Alina chan's original "evidence" put ridiculous weight on a few SNPs before we really had a lot of data or understanding of sars-cov-2 evolution (esp. it's enormously broad mammalian host range). It looks ridiculous in retrospect... and the rest of that book is conspiratorial storytelling without much in the way of evidence to back any of those fever dreams up.
The separatists have been heavily subsidized by Russia to the point it's sometimes been difficult to tell who is who.

Not meaning to sound hostile, but what you just wrote has been the goal of Putin's strategy with subsidizing the separatists all along. It's to create the appearance of a genuine resistance movement that's really just an arm of the Russian military. It's Putin's MO.

Part of the reason for this recent invasion is because the typical espionage and information warfare that has brought Putin success started failing.

To be fair: once Putin invaded, Germany came around.

What many Germans don’t seem to realise yet is the massive changes they are in for. Some consequences are evident already now, e.g. gas rationing next winter. Many other, still hidden consequences will emerge in the next four weeks as the sanctions kick in. German and Russian economic ties went deep, their rupture will not come easy.

The price might be worth paying but I hope all those Germans who were angry at their government for not delivering weapons sooner will accept those consequences with the same enthusiasm.
> If gas cuts out one can use an electric stove.

That statement seems to conveniently ignore the reality of how electricity is generated and how much of it is available.

Cut off the gas supply without adequate notice, and the power grid will fail.
Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup. I discovered that book by chance in my school's library, but it changed everything for me. It's basically why I started programming.
I think my usage of the word "meaningful" was very much generous. Let me clarify my intention then: the "correctly" (that is, preferred by speakers) reversed text is unlikely to have a meaning, but it is still likely to adhere the language's phonotactic rules. ゃ (small ya, as opposed to ordinary や ya) is something you never expect to be the first character because it modifies the preceding syllable. The use of such small characters (すてがな sutegana) as the first character in words is very limited in Japanese.
It was the late 90s/early 00s, funky organic designs like that appeared fairly regularly in computing peripherals.
I actually looked into using directed infrared heating to heat myself as a more efficient solution. Given the high electricity costs in Germany I realized it would still be cheaper just to heat the entire apartment the old fashioned way.
Stuffing Ourselves: The Tyranny of Logistics
Why would transmitter locations be targets? They are civilian targets (most likely) and if one wants to target civilians in urban conflict there is surely no lack of targets.

I wouldn’t use a starlink dish at a military command post trying to hide in a forest, but no one would do that.
I read "destruction / grounding" as "or", rather than "and". From what I can find in a quick search there's lots of rumours, but nothing confirmed, so who knows at this point.
Do you usually abandon your vehicle as soon as it breaks?

Normally if I'm driving somewhere it's because walking would be impractical. If my car breaks I'm going to try and fix it rather than giving up and trying to carry my stuff by hand.

Soo-sah??? What utter idiocy! It's from German, where the letter 'e' is pronounced, well, "e". Like in most languages except the utterly weird English one. Well, OK, even English gets it right in some words: Bed, red, let, hexadecimal...

Soo-seh. HTH!
No, I am asking about attempts of earlier talks. Last minute attempts were not going to succeed, yet they were worth trying.

> You realise that Russian Federation is not a member of NATO and therefore has no say in any NATO memberships?

So why did the US have to have a say when Cuba allowed the Soviets to suddenly stick their missiles on the Cuban territory? Was the US demand somehow more special from Russian demands?

For the historical record, the USSR asked for the NATO membership in 1948, indicated its interest again to join in 1989 and the last time we heard about Russia and NATO discussing such a potential possibility as late as 2009. West rejected all such ideas and since then there have been no executive level talks discussing further options, to the best of my knowledge. Once the Russia membership in NATO was ruled out as an option, the rhetoric of non-expansion has kicked in.

Regional peace in Europe has been a complex, an intertwined and a nuanced subject that has historically involved every single party in the direct and indirect proximity of the potential area of conflict and even included royal intermarriages across the continent in mediaeval times to foster alliances – if I have to go that far.

> Apparently only you did not get the memo.

Personal attacks such as this one, aggressive rhetoric and the rattling of the genticles is what has got Europe into the mess we are facing today in the first place. People unwilling to listen to each other, every party being assertive only about their own rightness and not arriving at something workable is the root cause of it.
SiFive are the closest to that.
Thank you! I'd heard about it on a radio programme many years ago and had always wondered what it looked like, but somehow never enough to do something about it.
I think there are 2 independent problems for Germany:

Not delivering weapons to any war zone has been a holy principle for German politics since 1945. Never war again war has had a strong foothold. Even now I grown up in this tradition would ask, is it better to lose the war or more lives. Putin might invade the country now, but he will not stay there forever. Most of Eastern Europe and the Baltic countries show that. Even Eastern Germany.

Germany's dependency on Russian gas is a different problem. They don't dare to do much. Now delivering weapons might prolong and intensify the fights. If the pipeline (it passes through Ukraine!) gets destroyed they don't need to dare to stop financing Putin's war. They will need to solve the problem how to heat their homes.

Covid Is More Like Smoking Than the Flu
“Despite the gulf between them, both Amazon and the Postal Service function as part of a much larger and much more insidious global supply chain... Beside its environmental costs, the system also depends on the exploitation of myriad workers, millions of them here in the United States and untold millions more overseas... If we wanted to change the way the logistics economy functions, we would have to attack the strange and vulnerable terrain of logistics itself — not the goods, but the network that moves them.“

But it is much riskier for the fruadster after 1 transaction. With 0 confirmations it is almost certian that a new transaction with a higher fee will replace the older one. With 1 confirmation you have to either swing a lot of mining power or hope that your block becomes orphaned. The fraud likely doesn't make sense anymore if you lose your money 24/25 times instead of almost never.

Then Steam can accept that lower risk and mitigate further by then revoking game access.

Why Russia is so concerned about Ukraine joining NATO
Yes, I have heating in every room in my apartment in Berlin. But I only use the one in my living room. I never heat my two bed rooms or the bathroom. The rest of the apartment is a bit cooler but stays warm thanks to the neighbors below me heating their apartment. I actually prefer sleeping in a cold bed room so I never use the heating in there. I just toss on an extra blanket when it gets really cold outside. I generally have the window open there throughout the year. Even when it gets well below freezing temperatures.

Nothing worse than a stuffy warm room for sleeping for me. It's one of my annoyances with hotels actually. I hate it when I can't open the window. Generally the first thing I do is remove most of the blankets, turn of whatever heating is there, and if possible open the windows. For me the ultimate in stupidity is a hotel room with the AC on where people use blankets to stay warm where you can't even open the windows.
Are there services or tools that can be built for Ukrainians in need? And are there any projects already out there that I can get involved with as a contributor?

> Look at the BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of dollars and euros that are pouring into weapons.

It's a trend, especially since 2001 and especially since the past decade, that all major countries around the planet are reinforcing their border and military, reinstating various forms of military service, outlawing criticism of the Nation State, appropriating or otherwise securing crucial/strategic resources in former/current colonies...

I agree with you it's disastrous. And i'm all in favor of dismantling military institutions worldwide without waiting, but it's hardly a european problem. Fascism is on the rise on every continent (Brasil, France, India, Japan, Russia, China) so framing the problem as a european problem is not helping. Although of course it's important to point out the ethnocentrism at the heart of european discourse: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/72c71a0e-04f6-4337-b9ff-261d8d...

What can help is reviving the internationalist/pacifist movement. A few decades ago when i was a kid we had millions of people marching down the streets against the cold war and against all forms of colonialism, and i do mean against both sides of the conflict (third-worldism). Popular solidarity goes beyond borders as long as we don't let nationalism and its arbitrary borders taint our hearts. And please note that i don't mean "peaceful" when i say pacifism: i'm all for blowing up military installations and Nation States, and reaching world peace and social justice "by any means necessary".

We need to dismiss propaganda from corrupt western "democracies" as well as modern autocracies. But that does not mean we shouldn't condemn a neo-fascist State (Russia) for invading its former colony (Ukraine).
Exactly. This situation was highly thought out and I'm sure he has at least one ace up his sleeve. Most likely in the form of controling natural resources to europe.
